OhioSenateproposesmorechangestostatebudget
By ANN SANNER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS A pro-
posal before a Republican-
controlledOhioSenatepanel
would give more money to
schools in the state budget
and keep a provision that
would effectively defund
PlannedParenthoodbysend-
ing it to the back of the line
for public family planning
money.
The Senate Finance
Committee on Tuesday
released its latest changes to
the more than $61 billion,
two-year spending plan. The
panel is expected to vote on
the measure today, with the
full Senate voting Thursday.
Senate passage would send
the bill into compromise
talks.
The latest package of
changes would boost state
spending on K-12 education
by more than $717 million
compared with the current
budget,whichendsJune30.
Schools would see an
additional $141.6 million
in direct state aid under the
Senate plan, compared with
the funding formula the
House passed in its version
ofthebudget.
Majority Republicans in
the Senate also want to set
aside an additional $50 mil-
lion per year for the gov-
ernors proposed Straight
A fund, which will deliver
grants to school districts for
innovation and efficiency
measures. Early childhood
educationwouldgetanaddi-
tional $20 million over the
budget period, on top of the
$10 million the House allot-
ted.
A proposed amend-
ment would set up spend-
ing requirements for schools
that get money for economi-
cally- disadvantage students.
The funding would have
to be used on an extended
school day or year, read-
ing improvement, dropout
prevention, school safety,
instructional technology, or
professional development in
readinginstructionforteach-
ers of students in kindergar-
tenthroughthirdgrade.
Senators also added an
amendment to make sure
the director of JobsOhio and
its employees and officers
couldntbebribed.JobsOhio
is a private entity formed by
RepublicanGov.JohnKasich
and approved by state law-
makers to spur economic
developmentinthestate.
Senate Finance Chairman
Scott Oelslager said the
technical change was made
because bribery wasnt
defined under the law that
createdJobsOhio.
Therewasagaptherewe
discovered,soweclosedthat
loophole to make sure that
nobodycouldtakeabribeas
part of JobsOhio, Oelslager
said. And if they did, they
wouldbeprosecuted.

VW Elks lodge
announces Flag Day
observance
Information submitted
VAN WERT All citi-
zens are encouraged to
attend the annual Flag Day
Services which will be held on
Wednesday, June 12 at 7 p.m.
in the Elks lodge home.
The annual event is spon-
sored by the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks. Also
participating will be the Van
Wert unit of the Civil Air
Patrol.
Flag Day, celebrated
each June 14 as specified by
President Woodrow Wilson
in 1916, honors the creation
of the Stars and Stripes as
the official flag of the United
States. Flag Day did not
become formally recognized
until President Truman, him-
self an Elk, signed the resolu-
tion in 1949 declaring Flag
Day an official national holi-
day.
The continental Congress
adopted the design of the Stars
and Stripes on June 14, 1877,
resolving that The flag of the
United States shall be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white
on a blue field, representing a
new constellation.
The Elks is the first and
only fraternal organization
to mandate that on June 14th
every year, each lodge must
conduct a solemn and beauti-
ful Flag Day ceremony. This
ceremony is open to the public
so that we can show our local
communities that we honor
our flag and all it represents.
As part of this years cer-
emony the local lodge win-
ners of the Grand Lodge
Americanism Contest will
read their winning essays.
Gerard Mazur, exalted
ruler of Van Wert Elks Lodge
1197, encourages all citizens
to attend the lodges Flag Day
ceremony and demonstrate
their love of flag and coun-
try. All citizens are asked to
proudly display the flag on
Flag Day.

Fake health
insurance entity
targets Ohioans
Information submitted
COLUMBUS - Ohio
Lieutenant Governor and
Insurance Director Mary
Taylor has issued a cease and
desist order to United States
Contractors Trust (USCT) for
selling fictitious health insur-
ance coverage to at least four
Ohioans. USCT is not licensed
to sell insurance in Ohio and
has also recently been ordered
to stop its unauthorized
insurance business in South
Carolina, North Carolina,
Vermont, Florida and Maine.
Our mission at the
Department is to protect
Ohioans and take action against
those who prey on innocent con-
sumers, Taylor said. We urge
Ohio consumers with informa-
tion about this scam to contact
the Department immediately.
USCT is targeting people
over the Internet with pre-exist-
ing health conditions that are
experiencing difficulty finding
insurance. Desperate to secure
individual or family health
insurance, the Ohioans eagerly
completed contact information
forms on innocuous-looking
websites. The victims were then
called by a USCT representa-
tive and eventually signed-up
for what they thought was insur-
ance. The victims agreed to have
the monthly premium, ranging
from $200 to $550, debited from
their bank accounts.
The victims first few claims
were paid but thereafter they
began to receive unpaid medi-
cal bills and calls from medi-
cal providers explaining they
were having difficulty pro-
cessing the claim with USCT.
When contacted by the victims
and medical providers, USCT
blamed the mix-up on comput-
er problems and explained the
matter would be resolved soon.
This back and forth continued
for months while money con-
tinued to be withdrawn from
the victims checking accounts.
The Ohio Department of
Insurance advises potential
victims of this scam to take the
following immediate steps:
Contact your bank and have
the automatic premium with-
drawals stopped. Then call the
Departments fraud hotline at
1-800-686-1527.
Avoiding Health Insurance
Scams:
Fake insurance companies
and dishonest people often try
to sell coverage that is usu-
ally difficult to secure and sell
policies that are significantly
cheaper. If it seems too good to
be true, it usually is.
Ask if the company and
person representing the prod-
uct are licensed in Ohio. Then
confirm the license status at
www.insurance.ohio.gov and
by calling 1-800-686-1526.
Be cautious if there are not
many questions about your health.
Ask your own hard questions
about the coverage and company.
Be mindful that scammers
will make marketing materials,
letterhead and websites appear
legitimate, including copying
and using official documen-
tation from real companies.
Always carefully read and
scrutinize all materials, includ-
ing information on websites.
Never provide your check-
ing account number to have
your premiums automatically
deducted unless you are deal-
ing with a reputable company.
Be suspicious if you are being
pressured into using the direct
deposit payment method.
If you believe youve been
victimized by this scam, call the
Departments fraud hotline at
1-800-686-1527. You can also
report it at www.insurance.ohio.

Nathan Miller Memorial Tournament goes to Kalida
BY LARRY HEIING
DELPHOS The fourth annual Nathan Miller Memorial
Baseball Tournament was played under dark clouds for the
entire three days last weekend at Delphos Stadium Park.
Nathan passed away in 2009 from a sudden dissecting
aorta at the age of 13. This memorial tournament was cre-
ated the next year to keep his memory alive. The parents of
Nathan, Angie and Sam, received a gift in the form of a quilt
made up of T-shirts from past tournaments during the open-
ing ceremony Friday night.
The tournament began under threatening skies that cast
a cloud over the hard work put into planning for this large
event. Despite that, a pair of scholarships from proceeds of
the tournament were awarded to graduating seniors Seth
Wollenhaupt (Jefferson) and Curtis Geise of St. Johns.
It was a rough night on the diamond as all four Delphos
City teams were defeated in the opening round: the Delphos
Reds lost 4-3 to the Van Wert Dons in the closest game of the
night; the Delphos V.F.W. fell 9-2 to St. Marys; the Delphos
Braves lost 6-3 to a good Shawnee squad; and in the final
action of the evening, the Delphos Pirates fell 11-7 to Elida
in a slugfest.
Overnight storms early Saturday dumped nearly two
inches of rain on the Delphos area, causing the parking lots
and ball diamonds at the park to look more like the pool that
was opening than ball fields. Sam Miller spoke with Craig
Mansfield of the Delphos Parks Department and the threat of
more storms caused the cancelation of all games for the day.
When the impending storms never developed, they again
talked and decided that the fields could be ready for play.
Craig and the Delphos Parks staff worked hard to dry out
the diamonds and did a great job getting the fields ready in a
short time, Sam commented.
The games resumed at 4 p.m. with Van Wert defeating
St. Marys 4-1 and Shawnee beating Middle Point 6-3. In the
evening, Ft. Loramie outslugged Van Wert 11-2 and Kalida
shut out Elida 2-0. Delphos squads returned to action with
a pair of shutouts: the Braves blanked Middle Point 3-0 and
the V.F.W. fell 12-0 to Van Wert.
Angie Miller was relieved: Getting those six games in
Saturday night was big. Otherwise, we would have to move
the schedule back with 24 games on Sunday and that would
make a long day for the ball players. We cant thank the
Delphos Parks crew enough for all their efforts.
Pool-play games picked up again early Sunday morning
with action on all four diamonds. The Delphos Reds defeated
Leipsic 7-5 and the Delphos Braves made a lone run stand
up in blanking Leipsic 1-0. Van Werts 12-year-olds squad
outscored Columbus Grove 9-2 and Spencerville defeated
Kalida 4-3.
As a light rain fell, the competition continued into the
afternoon. St. Marys fell to Columbus Grove 5-2 and Middle
Point gave Miller City a goose egg, 8-0. The Delphos Pirates
survived Spencerville 10-0 and Ft. Loramie got by Leipsic
with a slim 2-1 victory.
The final round of pool play saw the weekend come to an
end for the city ball clubs in the double-elimination tourna-
ment. The Reds went out with a 3-2 victory over Ft. Loramie
and the V.F.W. bested Columbus Grove 6-2. Kalida ran over
the Pirates 6-1, Van Wert defeated Leipsic 11-3, Elida beat
Spencerville 4-3 and Shawnee homered its way to a 11-1
victory over Miller City.
After three days of games, the final four came down to
Ft. Loramie defeating Shawnee and Kalida knocking off Van
Wert to move onto the finals. In the consolation matchup,
Shawnee survived Van Wert to take third place. The 2013
Nathan Miller Memorial Tournament championship went
to Kalida as they used outstanding pitching to knock off Ft.
Loramie.
The weekend concluded with the closing awards cer-
emony. Angie came onto the Little League field and the
sky cleared as if Nathan was saying no rain on my mom
at my celebration, leaving only blue skies, tears and happy
memories.
