Torrential rainfall may have put the kibosh on the village’s annual July Fourth celebrations last month, but that didn’t deter the village festivities altogether.

Established in 2018 with coordination from the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority and members of the American Public Power Association, Light Up Navajo has, over the last decade, electrified nearly 7,000 homes within the Navajo Reservation.

At the Monday, Aug. 19 regular Village Council meeting, the group agreed to begin the steps of convening an intergovernmental body, as well authorized $12,500 to cover future legal fees — both in the interest of pursuing $15 million in tax credits to build a 50-unit low-income housing development.

Tuesday, Aug. 13, began like any other day for the Lewis family — until the sound of a helicopter grew louder and louder, its shadow widening over their Wright Street home.

On a sweltering Tuesday afternoon, July 30, a small group gathered in the Coretta Scott King Center at Antioch College to learn traditional African drumming techniques and rhythms with Gyamfi Gyamerah.

A brown belt who has trained and competed throughout the country, villager Shane Creepingbear hosts a jiu-jitsu training class every Thursday, 7–8 p.m., on the top floor of the Antioch College Wellness Center.

For sale are two, 20.6-acre tracts on Dayton-Yellow Springs Road — near the Snypp Road intersection, beyond Village limits — as well as two 19.9-acre tracts on West Jackson Road, just beyond Young’s Jersey Dairy in Clark County.

On Sunday, Aug. 18, at 2 p.m., a presentation on the history, labor and artwork of Antioch Publishing Company, titled “It Started with Bookplates…” will be held in the Senior Center’s Great Room.

Glen Helen Nature Preserve’s Trailside Museum, a stout building located atop the head of the Inman Trail, reopened its doors to adults and children alike earlier this summer after being closed since 2020.

Soon, Yellow Springs residents will have meters that can be read remotely and quickly — each producing hour-by-hour usage data.  The goal of this initiative? To help local utility customers better monitor usage, and as a result, save money and resources.
