Our ideas were at turns cautious and audacious, both zeroed in on history and zooming forward to the future, with thematic consid - erations first rigid and then scattered to the breeze. This experience will not sound unusual to any group of people meeting again after long months of remote communicating. Like you, we wanted to do every- thing. So we did — in a way. We cobbled together our fragmented ideas and began assembling some of our favorite past News articles. Almost inadvertently, we had created a mosaic — a kaleidoscope. As such, may we present the theme of the 2021–22 Guide to Yellow Springs: A Kaleidoscopic View of Yellow Springs. We’ve often said the job of the Yellow Springs News is to hold a mirror to the vil- lage — and we believe we’ve done just that for nearly 150 years. So, it may seem some- what odd now to thematize our Guide through a more irregular lens. After all, a kalei - doscope distorts, warps and abstracts. Upon its rotation, a kaleidoscope fans out an ever- changing representation of what’s in view. Is what’s seen through the eyepiece really there? By holding a kaleidoscope to Yellow Springs — its constit - uent culture, winding history and colorful inhabitants — this Guide offers a novel view of our beloved village. In it, you’ll find tributes to some of the groups and organizations that lay the foundations of our commu - nity; historical accounts of people and events with lasting legacies; and visual odes to the rhythms and cycles of our village life. And because we’re human and as self-indulgent as the next folks, you’ll find some things that don’t fit any of those descriptions — but we left them in anyway because we like them. (Please note the photo of Colonel Sanders visiting the Riding Centre on page 63 that Chuck begged the designers to include, and which they very kindly did.) That stubborn humanness is as good a representation of our community as any. Turn Yellow Springs on its side on a given day and different pieces will drop into focus: we’re artists and we’re peace- makers and we’re scientists and we’re activists and we’re people. Shake all those pieces up and the picture changes, but no matter the angle, it all looks good to us. — Reilly Dixon & Lauren “Chuck” Shows
