Having just cleared the four-month mark in his role as interim executive director of Friends Care Community, Sean Riley told the News this week that he’s settling into the fabric of Yellow Springs.

“It’s felt great,” he said. “I love what I do, and going to help a community that needs time and space in order to do a proper search is rewarding professionally — and selfishly, I get to explore a community by hiking, by dining, by walking around.”

Riley stepped into the interim executive director role Jan. 8, following the retirement of longtime Executive Director Mike Montgomery. His arrival comes during a transitional moment for Friends Care, amid ongoing conversations about how the 46-year-old nonprofit long-term care center will continue serving the community.

Riley came to Friends Care through AQORD, a faith-based health and human services organization formed through a merger between the former Friends Services Alliance and Mennonite Health Services. In addition to helping oversee day-to-day operations, Riley said he’s working with board members, staff and residents on strategic planning discussions centered on what services and programs Friends Care should prioritize in the years ahead.

At the same time, he’s also helping the board with its search to fill the role of executive director in the long-term; it’s his second time in such a transitional role, having previously worked via AQORD with a similarly sized nonprofit elder-care community south of Iowa City.

Originally from Canton, Ohio, and having lived for nearly 30 years in Lakewood, Ohio, Riley said he’s spent four decades in post-acute care, older adult housing and aging services, including in some larger, corporate systems.

“This is better,” he said of nonprofit work. “We work just as hard. It’s a kinder, gentler, more appreciative environment.”

Riley added that Friends Care’s roots in Yellow Springs and the Quaker community are part of what drew him to the role; in particular, he pointed to the organization’s nascent years in the 1980s, when a lack of good information and, for many, prejudice created stigma and fear around those living with AIDS; in 1987, Friends Care became the first nursing home in Ohio to admit people with AIDS.

“That’s pretty courageous, and it speaks to the community as a whole,” he said. “There’s such good history here. There’s such a good team here.”

That team, along with the institution as a whole, is experiencing some of its own transitions: Clinical Admissions Director Melissa Herald is retiring after 19 years with Friends Care and more than three decades working in nursing homes.

“Friends Care had always been the place I wanted to come to,” Herald said. “I’d tried before to get in years ago, and it was always full.”

When an opening finally appeared, she started on night shift in a PRN position before steadily moving through the organization into management. The clinical admissions director role is outward-facing and focused on communication with families and incoming residents, but Herald said the “clinical” part of the position held true during her time.

“I still worked the floor when needed, and would do wound care and different things,” she said, adding that she also oversaw the facility’s rehabilitation center.

As Herald departs, Julie Clements, a floor nurse who has worked at Friends Care since 2018, will succeed her. Clements said her years providing direct resident care have prepared her for the relationship-building aspect of the role.

“I feel like working the floor has just made me more comfortable in that communication aspect,” Clements said.

Clements added that she’s spent four weeks training alongside Herald during a six-week transition period, and is optimistic about the new leadership role.

“I feel very fortunate that they’ve trusted me with this position, and I’m excited to see what’s to come,” she said.

Also retiring, Herald said, is her chiweenie dog — part chihuahua, part dachshund — Stella, who has accompanied her to work every day for the last six years, and become a familiar companion to residents and staff.

“The residents are all telling me I have to bring her to visit,” Herald said.

‘What comes next’

Amid those staffing changes, Riley said Friends Care is acutely aware of the challenges that plague long-term care centers, many of which the News has reported on in recent months, including rising labor costs and stagnant Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement models.

Riley noted that, in recent state news, LeadingAge Ohio and the Ohio Health Care Association successfully sued the Ohio Department of Medicaid over nursing home reimbursement calculations, with the Ohio Supreme Court last year ordering the state to recalculate payments of about $1 billion, though the state hasn’t yet made any moves in that direction.

As the News reported in February, about 800 elder care facilities have closed nationwide since 2020 due to funding shortfalls; about half of the facilities that remain open are either limiting admissions or have wait lists.

Friends Care also currently has wait lists for its independent living and assisted living units. Riley said that, since he’s joined the staff, the Friends Care board has continued to discuss potential service expansions first identified in a 2023 community survey: additional independent and assisted living offerings, as well as community-based care — services Riley said he feels confident are “inevitable.”

“But whether it’s inevitable in six months or six years, we don’t know yet,” he said.

And, he added, the Friends Care board and staff are intentionally taking their time in making some decisions about how, and when, expansions will be made to adapt to the changing landscape of long-term care.

“We have to slow down in order to speed up,” he said. “We have to get our team on the same page. We have to get our board on the same page. We have to have our campus residents participate in this conversation. And of course the village, because this is the village’s asset.”

To that end, he said, he’s not sure yet how long his tenure in the interim position will last; that depends on how long he’s needed to help move the organization into its next phase.

“I’m here as not just a transition between one long-term leader and another, but also at the beginning of — I like to say, and perhaps I heard it from the board first — ‘what comes next,’” Riley said. “[I’m bringing] a fresh perspective, right? There are no sacred cows. I don’t know who’s who and what’s what, so I get to go in and make observations.”

Grounding the operational discussions, he said, is the deeper goal of rebuilding relationships between Friends Care and the wider Yellow Springs community.

“We want the citizens of Yellow Springs to be our friends,” Riley said. “And there’s no pun here — friends of Friends Care — because you want to support your friends, and in order to become friends, you need to get to know each other.”

Aiding Riley in the effort for Friends to make friends is new staff addition Hypatia McLellan, who was recently hired as Friends Care’s marketing and development coordinator. At press time, McLellan — a longtime local resident — is in her second week at Friends Care, but she said she’s not new to the residential community, as she was introduced to the campus on field trips as an Antioch School student, and she visited her grandparents when they received rehabilitation care within Friends Care’s walls.

“So it just felt like this was a perfect fit for me,” she said.

The focus of her role, she said, is on helping reconnect Friends Care with the wider village community after the years in which COVID-era precautions limited engagement between the organization and the rest of the community.

“We want more ways to collaborate with the village at large and have events here,” she said. “I think people see [Friends Care] as an institution, but really, it’s a community. There’s some really active people here who have things to say and stories to tell.”

Riley agreed, saying the pandemic years forced facilities like Friends Care to “build a wall” around residents in order to keep them safe, and that some of the habits and community connections interrupted during that period still haven’t returned.

“We’re re-establishing those as we can,” he said, and pointed to two upcoming events: Friends Care will host its fourth annual “Cookout with Friends” this Saturday, May 16, 4–7 p.m.; and “Friends Care Community Night” with the Dayton Dragons baseball team on Thursday, June 25; see the “Local Events” column on page 2 for more information on both events.

Part of the effort to rebuild relationships, Riley said, involves collaborating with other local nonprofits, including the YS Senior Center — “Hypatia’s got some great ideas and has already reached out to our comrade, [YS Senior Center Executive Director] Caroline Mullin,” he said. Another part is creating and encouraging more opportunities for Friends Care residents and members of the wider community to interact.

“We’ve learned a lot about loneliness and the stress [it puts] on your body — how do we address that?” Riley said. “How do we engage more, not less, so that everyone can feel like they’re not alone and part of something? Come hang out with us; we have a beautiful campus. We have all kinds of resident engagement going on, and volunteers are always welcome.”

He added: “Friends Care is not an extension of the community — it’s an expansion of the community. … Whatever is done for Friends Care Community is done for Yellow Springs.”

The annual Donnell Land festivities, hosted by comedian and local resident Donnell Rawlings, will return to Yellow Springs over Memorial Day weekend with four days of comedy, outdoor recreation and community gatherings.

Now entering its sixth year, Donnell Land will run Friday–Monday, May 22–25, and feature stand-up comedy, the returning “Streets vs. Creeks” kickball game, family activities, outdoor recreation and wellness programming, as well as this year’s invited guests, including comedians and entertainers Angela Yee, Talib Kweli, Tiffany Haddish, Jivanta Roberts and local resident Dave Chappelle.

Speaking with the News this week, Rawlings said that, the event’s entertainment offerings aside, he views Donnell Land’s value as resting within its emotional impact.

“The objective was to create memories for a lifetime,” he said. “And I’m starting to feel that.”

He added that the yearly undertaking is “a lot to organize” and, in its way, stressful; last year, he considered taking a year off. However, a conversation with a friend who, with her mother, had attended Donnell Land three years in a row, took that consideration off the table for him.

“Her mom passed away a few months ago, and she said one of her mom’s fondest memories was coming to Donnell Land,” Rawlings said. “That kind of triggered me … and made me realize, ‘This is why you do it — for those memories.’”

And he credited his sister, Erlinda Franklin, with taking the lion’s share of event planning off his plate, so he can focus on being a good host.

“She’s doing an amazing job of making sure my life is easy, so I can just be like the mayor of Yellow Springs,” he said with a laugh. “You know, wave to people, give out candy, stuff like that.”

Rawlings said Donnell Land has expanded quite a bit since its first year, both in terms of the programming offered and the number of folks who attend — and the distance people travel to participate, as Donnell Land now consistently attracts visitors from outside Ohio. Nevertheless, Rawlings said he aims for the event to maintain its local identity.

“It’s continuing to grow, but this is the home [of Donnell Land], and I want to keep it here,” he said. “I don’t gauge [success] by how many people show up; I gauge the feeling they leave with.”

Donnell Land’s roots remain closely tied to the pandemic-era comedy gatherings spearheaded locally by Dave Chappelle, Rawlings said; while Chappelle focused on stand-up performances, Rawlings began organizing activities around them. Rawlings, originally from Washington, D.C., said planning the initial events drew him to make Yellow Springs his home and embrace the slower rhythms of village life: short drives, quiet evenings, time wandering in the outdoors.

“I realized that I had to understand how to appreciate the smallest things in life,” he said, adding with a laugh: “Where I grew up, our birds had one color: gray. Pigeons. Now I get excited knowing the difference between a cardinal and a blue jay. So if I can introduce people to the simplicity of nature, that’s a win.”

As in years of Donnell Land past, the emphasis on simplicity and connection continues to run through the four-day event, with a Friday, May 22, “Kids Night Out” party; a Saturday, May 23, nature hike and sound bath; the first annual “Austen Bowl,” named in honor of Rawlings’ son, on Sunday, May 24, featuring a family-friendly field day and flag football for kids; and kayaking down the Little Miami River on Monday, May 25.

Noting the ubiquitous reliance on technology for people of all ages, he said he feels it’s especially important for young people to have an outlet for fun and connection — particularly across different age groups — that takes place away from screens.

“I want kids to put their phones down,” he said. “I want them to do musical chairs, I want them to do a three-legged race —  the old-school stuff.”

For those keeping score, the ongoing “Streets vs. Creeks” celebrity kickball rivalry, which returns Saturday, May 23, stands firmly in favor of the Creeks, who lead the Streets by two wins. Rawlings said comedian Angela Yee will captain the Streets this year, and he will return as captain of the Creeks.

Asked how he’s managed to maintain the Creeks’ advantage the past few years, Rawlings put the victories down to his teammate selection strategy.

“Me personally, when I recruit for my team, I look at your calves and your thighs,” he said with a laugh. “I’m not looking at how many followers you’ve got on Instagram. I’m like, ‘Are you built for this?’”

He added: “Maybe that’s cheating the system, but it’s been good so far.”

And no Donnell Land would be complete without some comedy from the weekend’s resident stand-up comedian; this year, Rawlings will perform at the Fairborn Phoenix on Saturday, May 23, with an after-party to follow. Laughter, he said, is what he hopes will “resonate through all of Donnell Land.”

“In this world, you better be able to laugh — laugh at pain, laugh at joy, laugh at everything,” he said. “I love my community, and I want people to know that we can come together as a community, laugh and have a good time.”

Well, that was a simply dreadful week.

Our sewer pipe in Yellow Springs backed up again and, for the second time since we have been here, raw sewage exploded out of the downstairs toilet. This time it was triggered by me emptying the bath upstairs without knowing the pipe was blocked. Last time the sump pump caused the effluent to fountain out of the toilet.

AC Service was summoned and Tyler promptly snaked the pipe. Alas, this was to no avail, the pipe remained blocked. The cause was simple, yet traumatic: The main sewer lateral in Elm Street was blocked and had frozen. This was a job for the Village crew.

Strictly, the sewer laterals are the homeowner’s responsibility, but the crew needed to find where the block was to determine what should be done. They broke the ice with spades and steel rods, then sucked all the sewage out and fired high pressure water down there. Fortunately for us, the block cleared and the crew left. Clearing blocked sewers isn’t the high-profile danger job like electrical, but it’s pretty important, and the Village crew were very efficient.

Our sewage pipe was still blocked.

Luckily Tyler was only five minutes away and popped ‘round to snake the pipe again. Bingo, it cleared, and Karen no longer had to poop in Kroger bags. Happy Valentine’s Day, love.

Then Karen snapped a molar off at the base and had to have emergency dental surgery to remove the roots. There was much sadness, but very little gnashing of teeth.

Feb. 16, 2026

Then she broke a second tooth on Valentine’s Day. I swear I’m not feeding her rocks.

Feb. 21, 2026

I taught about stress this week. Students get pretty stressed, and most haven’t developed coping mechanisms yet. For me finding time has always been the most important thing when dealing with stress. We can identify the stressors, but often we can’t do anything about them. Working to find time to do things that mitigate the stressors seems to be critical for me.

Can I get up earlier so I can spend a bit of time with my wee dog before work? Sure I can, I just go to bed a bit earlier.

I love cooking and so make batches of delicious food at the weekend, freeze it in bags, and then I can take it to work. That way I have tasty, home-made lunches at work rather than the worst sandwich in the world or expensive “to-go” food.

Learning to find time took me a while. It doesn’t matter what you do with the time, as long as it’s something you find rewarding. The list of rewarding things varies from person to person. Patterdale Hall and the little dog have been very useful de-stressors in my life, and my life would be utterly different without them.

Temperatures are now back above freezing and so I shall head to the Hall and build a cozy fire. We haven’t spent much time out there over the last month as it has been so very cold. Aside from emptying mouse traps every week, nobody has been out there at all. I think that will change as the temperature moves above freezing, and we can put the water back on.

Feb. 22, 2026

Hurrah! Snow again this morning. It really has been a proper winter this year. We kept a fire in all day yesterday, and Bob kept it going through the evening and into the night. I’ll need to split more kindling, but that shouldn’t be difficult as we only have a light dusting of snow. A job for later though, as I need to get chores done at home.

Feb. 23, 2026

A day of interviewing medicinal chemistry professor applicants. Should be interesting. I shall report back.

Later

It went poorly.

Feb. 28, 2026

I spent a lovely night at the Hall. The fire was in, I had a bag of crab rangoons and a good zombie novel — “The Girl with all the Gifts” by MR Carey.

First order of business was to evict two noisy little wrens who had taken up residence in the great room. I opened the window at the top of the stairs and the kitchen door, then wandered around a bit while shouting encouraging expletives. Mr. Wren left through the window and Mrs. Wren left through the open door.

I am essentially a swearier version of St. Francis of Assisi.

I put the water back into the house, as it now looks like we will avoid extended periods of brutally low temperatures. However, this reintroduction of water caused the shower head to explode and water went everywhere. We will need a little bit of teamwork to assess what is going on and then, after a poorly defined period of umming and ahhhing, a plumber.

I should retrain as a plumber when I retire. “Problems with your pipes? Call the doctor.”

March 1, 2026

The showerhead didn’t explode. Upon closer inspection a copper pipe has become unmoored in the shower cubicle. It will need to either be capped or plumbed back in. A simple job, but beyond this electrophysiologist’s abilities. I’ll call in YS Greene during the week, and Matt can fix it.

When I blew the water out of the pipes I forgot about the line to the shower, lesson learned. We never use the shower anyway and so there is no trauma. We do use the toilet though, so the pipe needs to be mended before The Hall is livable again.

Two milk crates of starter wood are now split ready for spring break fires to defeat the endless rain forecasted. Ugh.

OK, I am not a teacher. I am not a psychologist, or a sociologist, or an “ologist” of any kind. At best, I am an amateur philosopher; at worst, an opinionated fool. My point is, however poorly qualified I am to do so, I like to think and I have been thinking a lot recently. I have been thinking about thinking, and learning, and learning to think, and I have been thinking that we need to rethink how we approach learning.

I hated going to school. It was nothing personal against my school, or my teachers, it was just, you know, school. And it sucked. Even without the anxiety that came with being a confused little trans kid, it sucked. It was all day, five days a week, plus sports, plus homework, plus extracurriculars, plus community service. Year after year, there I was, and as far back as my young brain could see clearly I had been at it. Most days the only thing that got me through was the thought that someday it would be over and I would be free.

I spent 13 years in K–12 working my butt half off and another seven in college working off what remained of my poor tired backside. But then I graduated. I was finished, done, out. I was free. It wasn’t until this past year that I took a second to consider the deeper implications of that feeling.

What was it that was over? What had I finished? What exactly was I free from? Not working, certainly. Not being tired, obviously. In fact, I was just getting started there! No, what I was saying was that I was finished with school. But school is just an institution; it’s only a framework for scheduled learning. So, was I saying that I was free from learning? Was I celebrating being finished with learning?

I realized that I was indeed saying that, but also that that was not at all what I wanted. I don’t hate learning. I love it! So why was I so desperate to be free from it?

We all have those friends, family, or co-workers who are plenty intelligent, they just are not interested. Like, in anything. They eat at the same places they’ve always eaten, listen to the same songs they listened to 20, 30 or 40 years ago. I’m not here to say that an oldie isn’t a goodie, just that I don’t remember any of my fellow students not loving and being excited about finding something new. I don’t believe any human is born not loving to learn and explore.

Observing that in people is what has me thinking about all of this. I have come to believe that we have inherited an educational system that is designed not to foster and encourage learning, but to turn our minds against that natural instinct to explore and discover so that we will fit better into the machine that is capitalism. I can’t see any other reason to make school so much like work. Why would one exhaust a mind and a body so thoroughly, if one was not trying to break it and remold it into something more profitable? Is there a better way to make someone reflexively turn away from learning than to fill their day with constant negative associations to it? Stress, grades, work, pressure, tests, practice, conference, regional, state, work, work, work.

I am not here to blame any of the people sweating and pouring themselves into this system to do their best for all of these students. I am, ultimately, only speaking from my experience, and as I have said, I am in no way an informed observer. But I am an observer nonetheless and I cannot help but observe how perfectly suited this early training is for turning out the obedient workers and consumers that a capital-driven economy needs.

By the time we step out of school into the world, we are already accustomed to being overworked, to having no free time, to being graded and judged and to thinking that those grades matter and that this stress is natural. As new grads we would have just spent the entirety of our lives being taught that being tired and stressed is the rule, not the exception, and, most critically, we will have been conditioned not to explore or seek out new knowledge because that just means new work.

We live at a time when we can explore anything, a time when knowledge of any topic is available, for free, instantly. And yet most of us are on the couch, watching, listening to and buying whatever the algorithm shows us. Learning has become work to us now and we already have plenty of work. Like an abused dog, we will flinch away from it because for 12 or more long, exhausting years, we dreamed of nothing more than an escape from learning.

The way we educate our people is a testimony to, or perhaps an indictment of, our values as a society. I think that we all need to think more about the way we are training ourselves to think. Humans are born to learn, born to discover. There is a joy in that purpose that can be seen in any child — a joy that has been beaten out of whole swathes of us, and it shows. It shows in our consumerism and waste, in our populism and groupthink and in our deepening societal depression.

I don’t know what the fix for this is. I don’t know how to shift the cultural values of an entire world. I am not a teacher, a philologist, a psychologist, or an “ologist” of any sort. I am just an observer. I am just a human who loves to think and learn, who has noticed how many of us are bored, and sad, and who thinks that we must learn to do better for ourselves and for each other. We are not machines. We are humans and we deserve to rediscover our joy.
