  • Yarn Registry BLOG – I just worked as a dive instructor in Colombia for six months.

    I worked at a dive shop in Colombia for six months earlier this year. Ours was an overnight place, where we stayed on the beach three nights a week. It takes a lot of training to get to that level. But once you get there it’s a dream job. You’re in the water every day. You live in beautiful places.

  • YARN REGISTRY – I am a professional indexer. I write the indexes in the backs of books.

    “If you go to a history book and you just want to read about the Gettysburg Address, go to the index and look up “Gettysburg Address.” That’s what an index is. I make that. I read the book and pull out the things that go into the index, and I write the index.”

  • New on the streets of Yellow Springs, Pokémon Go

    While the sight of people walking and staring down at their phones may be a sign of our smart phone-obsessed times, walking around and staring at a phone in service of catching cute little monsters is a relatively new phenomenon.

  • YSKP’s focus on feisty Alice

    A troupe of young actors recently rehearsed for this year’s YSKP summer production “Alice, Although.” The musical chronicles the life of socialite and influential political force Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the daughter of President Teddy Roosevelt.

On the right platform is Camryn Strolger, Merida Kuder-Wexler, Hannah Hall. (Photo by Dylan Taylor-Lehman)

    On a hot summer day last week, the Antioch Amphitheater was filled with kids singing and dancing in the midday sun. If someone missed their cue, the actors went back to their starting places and began the musical number anew. The temperature was in the upper 80s, and the day’s rehearsal was just getting started.

  • Join YS Pride Parade this weekend

    The fifth annual YS Pride Celebration will take place downtown on Saturday, June 25. The day will be packed full of events, such as live music, guest speakers and an interfaith service of affirmation. Dayton-area drag performers, The Rubi Girls, will perform at Peach’s.

    Although the recent events in Orlando have prompted outpourings of support and affirmation to the LGBTQ+ community, it doesn’t take tragedy for people to appreciate the beauty of life and love.
