Whirlpool, Miami Valley Vending team up RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – When local companies team up great things can happen. That was never more evident than when the Greenville Whirlpool plant and Miami Valley Vending came together to raise funds for the Darke County United Way. While workers were eating their Jim’s Drive-in recipe Spanish Hotdogs, they probably didn’t realize that purchase helped 35,000 Darke County residents who rely on one of the 24 partner programs supported by United Way. Miami Valley Vending brought their food truck to the Whirlpool plant and served hotdogs to all three shifts. The funds raised
were designated to go to the Darke County United Way. Although Miami Valley Vending’s donation would have been a good one on its own, Whirlpool Corporation agreed to double the funds. A donation of $690 quickly turned into a donation of $1,380. Ariel Green coordinated the event for Whirlpool and pointed out a couple of the employees bought a few extra Spanish Hotdogs. The employees explained Jim’s Drive-In wouldn’t be open again until spring and they wanted to make sure they could have a few this winter. Christy Baker said the funds raised by Whirlpool and Miami Valley Vending will count towards the United Way’s $425,000 campaign goal.
GFD investigates another vacant mobile home ďŹ re CLINTON RANDALL
STAFF WRITER crandall@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – Crews battled another vacant trailer ďŹ re in Greenville Wednesday night. At approximately 9:15 p.m., the Greenville Fire and Police departments and Greenville Township Rescue responded to the Colonial trailer park on Sweitzer Street on the reported vacant trailer ďŹ re at lot #13. Flames were high in the air, at the rear of the mobile home, as crews arrived on scene. A second alarm was soon requested as the New Madison Fire Department soon arrived on scene to offer mutual aid. The ames were quickly contained to the trailer before the ďŹ re threatened surrounding structures. According to the Greenville Fire Department, the ďŹ re began in the rear of the
structure, which was conďŹ rmed to be unoccupied. The cause of the ďŹ re appears to be suspicious, but an ofďŹ cial arson ruling is still pending an investigation. The department has responded to several vacant trailer ďŹ res in the past few years – which most have been ruled as arson. This is the second suspicious ďŹ re of a vacant trailer at the park since February. An ongoing Nuisance Abatement Ordinance has been in the works against the property owner of the trailer park since 2014. The complaint revolves around the vacant structures which are targets for intentional ďŹ res. If you have information about any of the vacant trailer ďŹ res that have been reported at Colonial, you are urged to contact the Greenville Fire Department at 937-548-3040 or the Greenville Police Department at 937-548-1103.

GREENVILLE – Less than four years after graduating from Mississinawa Valley, Shelby Rehmert ďŹ nds herself back in the classroom. Only this time she’s standing in front of the classroom. A 2012 MV graduate, Rehmert said she always knew she was “meant for the classroom.â€? Following obtaining a degree in K-3 education in December 2015, from Indiana University East in Richmond, Ind., Rehmert was hired this past summer as an intervention specialist for Greenville City Schools. She spent last winter subbing with several Darke County schools. Following an interview with GCS, Rehmert began working with ďŹ rst-graders in August at Woodland Primary. Rehmert said she minored in mild intervention and also is licensed to teach in Indiana. She completed her student teaching with Ansonia Schools. “I feel strongly about differentiation in the classroom,â€? Rehmert said.
The term ‘differentiation’ applies to the variety of ways a child can be taught a speciďŹ c concept. Greenville City Schools, Rehmert said, practices inclusion of all children within their grade level. Different ways of teaching so each student can learn is used within inclusion classrooms. Currently, Rehmert is working with two classes of ďŹ rst-graders, she said, with her main responsibilities centered on reading, then math skills. Although the ďŹ rst-graders aren’t told ‘you must learn this for state testing,’ Rehmert said lesson plans follow state approved curriculum for ďŹ rst-grade learning. Rehmert said she sees the biggest struggle for would-be-readers is the concept of phonics. As children are learning, adults often concentrate on the beginning sound of a word. But, Rehmert said, more effort needs to be placed on the middle and ending sounds of words. “Parents can deďŹ nitely help by asking questions, making sounds for the beginning, middle and end. Ask ‘what are the different parts’ of the word,â€? she ex-

plained. Rehmert said one of the most important thing parents and grandparents can do with young children is to have conversation. “There’s so many iPads and other stuff that keeps them (children) busy. We forget about regular conversation,� she said. Rehmert said she plans on continuing her education to obtain a master’s degree, possibly in read-
BRC supporters Shine Bright at Gala RYAN BERRY
MANAGING EDITOR editor@earlybirdpaper.com
GREENVILLE – The Brethren Retirement Community’s (BRC) mission and core values were at the forefront of this year’s Shine Bright Like a Diamond Gala on Sept. 23 at Romer’s in Greenville. BRC President/CEO John Warner reminded attendees the mission and values the organization set about to fulďŹ ll on April 15, 1902 have changed little. The purpose 114 years ago was to provide care for adults and children incapable of providing care for themselves. “The more things change, the more they stay the same,â€? said Warner. While they no longer care for orphaned children, the staff continues to provide exceptional care for persons that can no longer care for themselves. BRC’s mission continues relatively unchanged – “Guided by Christian values, we provide exceptional service to all entrusted to our care.â€? They are able to accomplish this through their core values of benevolence, compassion, excellence, integrity and innovation.
The Brethren Retirement Community hosted several hundred supporters at its annual Gala. John Warner shared the organization’s core values during the event.
In its 10th year of hosting a charity auction and dinner, BRC has come to its supporters asking for help in purchasing speciďŹ c items. They have raised funds to purchase a new bus, equipment and programs. This year, Warner said he was asking for help in maintaining two speciďŹ c core values – benevolence and compassion. The organization is known for its care to
residents that have outlived their funds. They have never refused service to an individual that can no longer pay to stay. According to Warner, over a one-third of their residents receive charity care. The price tag for that type of care is approximately $178,000. Warner noted balancing charity care with ongoing operations can sometimes prove to be difďŹ cult. They recently

ing. “I was one of those people who just knew I wanted to be a teacher. I always played school with my dolls and I always have worked with children my mom babysat. I’ve always been around kids. It’s been my passion,� she said. When not in the classroom, Rehmert said she likes to golf and be outside, working around her home in New Weston.

learned the cost to ďŹ x an elevator was over $22,000. Gala attendees had the opportunity to give a donation or participate in the silent and live auctions. Darke County residents once again proved to be generous in their support. If you would like to donate to BRC, visit their website, www.bhrc.org and click on the Make a Donation tab.
