DEAR ABBY: I’m a 29-year-old self-made millionaire whohas spent the last decade sav-ing and investing my middle-class income. I grew up dirtpoor, so at 18 I left home with$5, went straight to work andnever looked back. Recently, I’ve realized that I
struggle to make friends forfear they’ll find out about myfinancial situation. Those whoknow only want to talk aboutmoney or treat me differently.Most of my peers are broke andit makes me feel guilty. Thosewith high incomes blow theirmoney on fancy dinners andluxury vehicles. I’m just aworking-class woman wholikes driving my 10-year-oldcar, and I don’t feel like I fit inwith anyone. In fact, I’m devel-oping an anxiety. A few months ago I went to
the bank to deposit a large sumof money and was mortified to
see that the bank teller was afriend of the family. I havegone to the extreme of lyingabout owning homes and goingon vacations, and it’s makingme crazy. I even have issueswith letting my young daugh-ter’s friends come over forplaydates, for fear that theother moms will think ourhouse is “too nice.” Do I needcounseling or is this just aturning point in my life that Ineed to grasp? — MONEYWORRIES DDEEAARR MMOONNEEYY WWOORRRRIIEESS:: IIff

To the editor:Once again spring has arrived.The birds are singing in the
early mornings and the flowersare blooming. But maybe Ishould rephrase it.The calendar says spring, but
mother nature seems to be hav-ing different ideas. But hopefullyit will be warming up and get-ting nice.This year, the Town of Redkey
is going to be very busy. A lot ofdifferent things will be takingplace. The long overdue sewerseparation is slated to beginsoon. We know this will causesome temporary closing of somestreets and navigation around
some areas may be tricky, but itwill all be worth it.Also before long, the demoli-
tion of the old town hall willbegin. Then, the construction ofa much-needed fire station willbegin.Already this year things have
been taking place. The Key Dinerhas moved into the Key Palace
Theater, where they are havinglive entertainment shows eachweekend. Lil Bistro restaurantjust celebrated its fourthanniversary. The antique shopsare growing and doing well. Sothings are beginning to look upfor our town.Also, the circus will be coming
back to town. There will be a carshow taking place downtown.The annual tractor pull will beback and hoping not to be rainedout as it was the last two years.The junior league baseball teamswill be coming back to the park,so exciting things are happeningin our town.The town-wide rummage will
be May 13 and 14. The heavytrash pick-up day will be May 21.Remember, no TVs, electronics,refrigerators, air conditioners,tires or any type of buildingmaterials. This is the perfectopportunity to get rid of thingsyou don’t need or use.The police department has
begun issuing citations for ordi-nance violations. They includedogs at large, curfew, golf cartsand four-wheel vehicles beingunregistered and ATVs drivingin streets or alleys.Last year the town started a
town-wide clean-up project. Wemade some progress, but weintend to make a lot more this
year. Citations will once againbe given for all types of trashand rubbish, old tires, weeds,abandoned vehicles andunmaintained properties. Theresidents of our town deserve tohave a clean and safe environ-ment to live and raise their fam-ilies.The citizens of Redkey have a
hard-working and dedicatedtown board. It is interested indoing everything possible to helpour town grow and prosper. Anyideas or suggestions you mayhave or any help that you cangive will be greatly appreciated.Mike WrightRedkey
Keep working to improve RedkeyLetters tothe Editor
By LEONARD PITTS JR.Tribune Content AgencyBy the next day, Bill Clin-
ton was feeling remorse.Almost.“Now I like and believe
in protests,” he explainedto an audience at PennState Behrend. “But I neverthought I should drownanybody else out. ... So I didsomething yesterday inPhiladelphia. I almost wantto apologize for it, but Iwant to use it as an exam-ple of the danger threaten-ing our country.”That danger, said the for-
mer president, is the inabil-ity to have respectful dis-cussions with those withwhom we disagree.“We’ve got to stop that in
this country,” he said.“We’ve got to listen to eachother again.”The reference was to an
incident Thursday whereinthe 42nd president, whilecampaigning to help hiswife Hillary become the45th, got into a shoutingmatch with Black LivesMatter activists inPhiladelphia. Had thisbeen a Trump rally, the pro-testers would have beenbeaten up, so we can atleast be thankful the inci-dent ended without stitch-es or icepacks.Not to say it wasn’t ugly.
In a sometimes angryexchange, Clinton defend-ed himself against heck-lers’ charges that the crimebill he signed in 1994, withits harsher sentencing,new prison construction,three strikes rule and revo-cation of education grantsfor inmates, helped fuel themass incarceration crisisthat has decimated theAfrican-American commu-nity.That’s nothing but true,
as Clinton himselfacknowledged in a speechlast summer before theNAACP.“I signed a bill that made
the problem worse,” hesaid. “And I want to admitit.”He should have stuck
with that.Thursday’s confronta-
tion was light on contritionand long on finger wag-ging. Clinton remindedprotesters that the bill inquestion was signed in anera of lurid headlinesabout gangs shooting chil-dren.“You are defending the
people who killed the livesyou say matter,” he shout-ed.He credited the bill with
dropping the nation’scrime rate to historic lows,which is a dubious claim.As PolitiFact has sinceobserved, the crime ratewas already falling whenthe bill was enacted.Clinton also noted that
the bill was passed withthe support of at least
some African-Americanleaders. That part, at least,is true; it was also support-ed by his wife and herchief rival, BernieSanders. Even so, it wouldbe naive to believe oppor-tunism did not play a partin Clinton’s signing thebill. After all, it gave himthe perfect retort to Repub-licans who accused him ofbeing “soft on crime.”Now, 22 years later, the
bill is back in the news andthe ex-president wants touse an argument about itas an example of politicalincivility? Yes, that is agnawing concern. But ifClinton thinks it’s the keytakeaway from last week’sconfrontation, he is miss-ing the point. It is immate-rial whether he and thoseprotesters ever apologizefor talking over one anoth-er.Who’s going to apologize
for all the non-violentAfrican-American offend-ers who have lost decadesof their lives behind barswhile white offenders whohad the same records andcommitted the samecrimes went free? Or forchildren sentenced to eatat fatherless tables and sitin motherless rooms? Orfor the fact that the land ofthe free now has the high-est incarceration rate onEarth?Who will apologize that
a community alreadywithstanding high rates ofpoverty, unemploymentand neglect has been hol-lowed out by an ill-con-ceived law?Who will apologize?
More importantly, whowill work to change it?That’s the question for
which African Americansand all voters who careabout justice must demandanswers.“I almost want to apolo-
gize,” doesn’t cut it.It’s weaselly and ulti-
mately, it’s not even ontopic. If he truly desires tobe forthright and toengage the people hiscrime bill has injured,then what the ex-presidentneeds to say should beobvious:“I passed a bad law.
Here’s how Hillary will fixit.”

Who will fixthis bad law?
By MICHAEL LEPPERTContrariana.comNot long ago, I read a column in
The Indianapolis Business Jour-nal written by Marshawn Wolley.He is an impressive young man
who I was lucky enough to meetand work with on an issue thiswinter. His column serves as a pre-cursor to April 4, a famous date inAmerican history, and of particu-lar notoriety in Indianapolis.April 4, 1968, is the day Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King, Jr. was assassi-nated in Memphis. That evening inIndianapolis, Bobby Kennedy,while on a presidential campaignstop, made the announcement ofDr. King’s death in his famousspeech calling out for peace. Indi-anapolis gave him peace thatnight, while many cities rioted.The park and monument enshrin-ing the event is just up the streetfrom my house, and it is awesome.The point of Wolley’s piece
though was to shine light on ourcity’s lack of diversity on civic andnon-profit boards in comparison toour community’s actual diverseethnic culture. It is an unquestion-able flaw. Its solution however, isone that should be sought most bythose currently in control of thoseorganizations.Why? Because it will simply
make all of us better in every way.Saturday, there was a Rally For
Women’s Rights scheduled for thesouth Statehouse lawn. Based onthe RSVPs on Facebook, thousandswere expected to be there. That’sright, thousands. Organizers gath-ered this group in response to therecent, and horrible, abortion billpassed by the legislature andsigned by Gov. Mike Pence. Ournational culture has reacted to thenew Indiana law with almost uni-form outrage.How did it pass? Because we
weren’t listening to the majority
of women in the Indiana commu-nity.We have all been watching a presi-
dential campaign like no other inmodern history. The leader in therace for the Republican nominationprovokes predictable hatred fromlarge numbers of his own party. It isnot just opposition. It is shamefulanger that I hear from many of myRepublican friends. It is fascinatingto watch one of our two major politi-cal parties plot and scheme thedefeat of the guy their own membersare voting to nominate.Political experts have been throw-
ing out new theories every week as towhy Donald Trump is still leadingthis train wreck, so it is high timethat I threw my theory in the mix. Atthe same time, I want to make clearthat some of this theory also appliesto gubernatorial politics right hereat home.Republicans are making bad deci-
sions on the biggest stages right now.Why? Because of the party’s lack
of any kind of diversity.For the last few days I have been
carrying around “A Deep Dive IntoParty Affiliation,” an April 7, 2015,report published by the PewResearch Center. Its findings areintriguing though not completelysurprising.The first page of the report shows
the groups that tilt Republican andDemocrat. The only demographicsthe GOP leads by more than 20 pointsare among Mormons, white evangel-icals, white southerners and whitemen with some college or less.
Democrats lead by 30 points or morewith Blacks, Asians, the religiouslyunaffiliated, post-graduate women,Jewish and Hispanic populations.Women generally “tilt” Democrat
52-36. Men are almost equally divid-ed 44-43, leaning Democrat.It has long been my view that the
worst decisions come from groupsthat look and think too much alike. Isee this in corporate America andthe non-profit world as much as I doin politics. People have heard medescribe bad group ideas often bysaying things like “those guys havespent too much time talking only toeach other.”And that is what a lack of diversi-
ty delivers: bad ideas.The top businesses in Indiana are
embracing the need for a diversework force. Again, why are theydoing that? It is not to be politicallycorrect or even charitable. It isbecause it makes their ideas, andtherefore their businesses, better.Much better, and more profitable.Women represent 20 percent of the
current U.S. Congress, an all-timehigh. The same percentage applies tothe Indiana General Assembly. It isno question that contributes to someterrible outcomes.Wolley is absolutely right that we
need more diversity across the boardin our community’s leadershipgroups.As a middle-aged white man, I
want to be clear that I believe mydemographic is who needs thatdiversity most of all. We are spend-ing too much time talking only toeach other, and that has becomewhen we are at our worst.

Continued from page 1Preference polls show
Clinton and Trump lead-ing their respective con-tests heading into Tues-day’s primary, an edge NewYork billionaire John Cat-simatidis attributes totheir local ties.“I favor them both, as
New Yorkers,” said Catsi-matidis, a grocery chainowner who hosts a weeklyradio show.Clinton spent eight years
as a New York senator.Trump is a Queens native,built his fortune in NewYork’s real estate marketand lives in an opulentManhattan high-rise bear-ing his name.Sanders, a Vermont sen-
ator who was born inBrooklyn, has also beentouting his local roots as heseeks to upset Clinton inNew York. While Sandersis on a winning streak inprimaries and caucuses,he desperately needs a bigvictory in New York if hehopes to cut into Clinton’sdelegate lead and slow hermarch to the nomination.The Democratic race has
become increasingly heat-ed in New York — includ-ing Sanders first question-ing Clinton’s qualifica-tions to be president, andthen reversing himself —and the tensions could spillover onto the debate stage.Even getting Clinton andSanders to agree on thedate and location for thedebate was a herculeantask, underscoring the dis-cord between the rivals.Early today, Sanders had
to distance himself fromcomments made by a sur-rogate at Wednesday’srally that voters shouldn’t“continue to elect corpo-rate Democratic whores.”Sanders said on Twitterthat the comment by Dr.Paul Song “was inappro-priate and insensitive.” Hewrites that “there’s noroom for language like thatin our political discourse.”Jennifer Palmieri, the
Clinton campaign’s com-munications director,responded on Twitter thatit was “very distressinglanguage to say the least.”
Meanwhile, Trumphopes New York marks anend to the worst period ofhis candidacy, a stretchthat raised new questionsabout his policy chops andrevealed his campaign’slack of preparedness for apotential delegate fight ifthe GOP race heads to acontested convention. Abig victory in New Yorkcould preserve his abilityto clinch the nominationbefore the convention.Cruz has been cutting
into Trump’s delegate leadand working feverishly tocourt the delegates whowould determine the raceat the July convention.But New York hasn’t
been friendly territory forthe Texas senator. Even ashe’s tried to embrace EastCoast culture, includingmaking matzo with chil-dren in an Orthodox Jew-ish neighborhood inBrooklyn, he’s beendogged by his earlier criti-cism of Trump’s “NewYork values” and had tocancel an event at a schoolbecause students threat-ened to walk out.Seeking to lower expec-
tations, Cruz said Wednes-day that if Trump doesn’tget more than 50 percent ofthe vote in his home state,“that’s widely going to beseen as a crushing loss.”Still, Cruz is looking for
opportunities to pick offsome delegates bothupstate and in the Bronxand Brooklyn. He was par-ticipating in an MSNBCtown hall in Buffalo beforeheading back to New YorkCity for the state partygala and his first appear-ance on “The TonightShow Starring Jimmy Fal-lon.”Kasich, the Ohio gover-
nor who has stayed in therace despite only winninghis home state thus far,also sees areas where hecould pick up delegates inNew York. Kasich is eyeingcongressional districts inthe Albany and Syracuseareas, where he’s arguingthat he’s the only Republi-can left in the race whocould defeat Clinton in afall campaign.

By MARK BERMANThe Washington Post North Carolina Gov. Pat
McCrory (R), responding to abacklash against the state’s newlaw banning anti-discriminationprotections for gay and transgen-der people, on Tuesday signed anexecutive order he said “expand-ed” the state’s employment poli-cy to include sexual orientationand gender identity.He also said he would seek leg-
islation restoring the right to suefor discrimination. However,McCrory stopped short of alter-ing the bill’s most high-profileprovision mandating that trans-gender people use bathrooms
that correspond only with thegender on their birth certificate.In a videotaped message
announcing the order, McCrorydefended the state law as beingneeded to respond to what hecalled the “government over-reach” of a Charlotte city ordi-nance that expanded civil rightsprotections for people based onsexual orientation and genderidentity. He also said the issuehad sparked what he called“selective outrage andhypocrisy.”Roy Cooper, the North Caroli-
na attorney general, and multi-ple LGBT groups criticizedMcCrory’s order as being a half-
measure that left discriminationintact.“Governor McCrory’s execu-
tive order is a day late and a vetoshort,” Cooper, a Democrat andMcCrory’s gubernatorial oppo-nent this fall, said in a statement.“The sweeping discriminationlaw he signed has already costNorth Carolina hundreds of jobsand millions of dollars in rev-enue. I’m glad Governor McCro-ry has finally acknowledged thegreat damage his legislation hasdone, but he needs to do muchmore.”This law prompted intense
backlash from LGBT groups andbig businesses alike, with a host
of major companies calling onthe state to withdraw its propos-al. The state law prohibits trans-gender people from using publicbathrooms in schools and gov-ernment facilities that don’tmatch the gender on their birthcertificate, and it also barredlocal governments from extend-ing civil rights protections to gayand transgender people.Two major companies — Pay-
Pal last week and, earlier onTuesday, Deutsche Bank —announced that they would calloff proposed expansions inNorth Carolina due to the newlaw.The Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce offered praise forMcCrory’s order on Tuesday, say-ing it was in favor of anythingthat promoted the city and state“as places that promote diversity,inclusiveness and equality.”“We applaud the governor’s
actions today which demonstratethat North Carolina is an openand welcoming state,” the Char-lotte Chamber of Commerce saidin a statement. “We stronglyencourage the leadership andmembers of the General Assem-bly to take quick action to thegovernor’s call to ensure citizenshave the right to pursue claimsof discrimination at the statelevel.”
N.C. governor seeks partial change
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency is failing inits mandate to protect underground drink-ing water reserves from oilfield contami-nation, according to a federal review sin-gling out lax EPA oversight in California,where the state routinely allowed oil com-panies to dump wastewater into somedrinking water aquifers.The U.S. Government Accountability
Office review also sampled EPA operations
around the country before concluding fed-eral regulators were failing to collectpaperwork and make on-site inspectionsnecessary to ensure states are enforcingthe Safe Drinking Water Act when itcomes to oilfield operations.“The takeaway overall is that the EPA
doesn’t collect and states don’t provide theinformation for the EPA to exercise theoversight that’s its job,” said Kassie Siegelfor the Center for Biological Diversity.

By SIMON DENYERThe Washington PostBEIJING — The United States
announced today it had started jointpatrols with the Philippines in thedisputed waters of the South ChinaSea and was ramping up its militarypresence in the area, a move thatChina immediately denounced as“Cold War thinking.”In Manila, Defense Secretary Ash-
ton Carter said the first two patrolshad taken place in March and April,and missions would continue on aregular basis.The deployment comes amid grow-
ing concerns about Chinese reach inthe strategically and economicallyimportant waters of the South ChinaSea, which borders the Philippines,Vietnam and several other nations. Beijing has built artificial islands
and runways on seven disputed reefs,raising fears that China could seeknew military outposts in the region.The latest U.S. moves are certain toboost tensions.“Countries across the Asia-Pacific
are voicing concern with China’sland reclamation, which stands out insize and scope, as well as its milita-rization in the South China Sea,”Carter told reporters, according tothe Reuters news agency. Around 300 U.S. troops, including
Air Force crews with combat aircraftand helicopters, will stay in thePhilippines through the end of themonth. They are among a contingentalready taking part in 11 days of com-bat exercises, the Associated Pressreported. Troops and military equip-ment will also be sent on regular rota-tions to the Philippines.China, in turn, accuses the United
States of militarizing the region aspart of President Obama’s strategicrebalance to Asia. It has also pointedto a 2011 deal to station marines inDarwin, Australia, and a recentannouncement allowing U.S. troopsaccess to five bases in the Philippines.“Reinforcing a military alliance is
a sign of Cold War thinking, and itruns against the trend of this era —peace, development, cooperation andwin-win,” the Ministry of NationalDefense told China Daily in responseto the latest news.Tensions between China and the
Philippines have been steadily build-
ing in the run-up to a ruling expectedsoon from an international tribunalin the Hague on the South China Seadispute. The government in Manilainitiated proceedings after Chinaseized control of Scarborough Shoalin the Spratly islands in 2012. Chinasays it will not recognize the tri-bunal’s decision, and that all disputesmust be settled bilaterally.The Philippines government wor-
ries that China could begin a new pro-gram of land reclamation and build-ing on the shoal, which lies 145 mileswest of the Philippines and 620 milesfrom the Chinese coast.

vases and everything fell onthe floor,” he told NHK.There were multiple
aftershocks, the largest onemeasuring magnitude 5.7about 40 minutes later,according to the JapanMeteorological Agency.
The U.S. Geological Sur-vey measured the quake’spreliminary magnitude at6.2 and said it was 14 milesdeep. It said there’s a lowlikelihood of casualties butsome damage is possible.Footage from an NHK
bureau in the area showedbooks, files and papersraining down to the floor.One employee appeared tohave fallen off a chair,while others slid undertheir desks to protect theirheads.

Continued from page 12It helped too that she
could pull the string on herchangeup to fool hitters.“They were expecting
fastballs a lot,” said Augs-burger, who did not allow awalk or a hit. “I threw anoff-speed pitch and itcaught them off guard.”At the plate, the pitcher
was one of four Starfireplayers to record a multi-hit game. She and Albersonboth had a pair of singleswhile Abby Myers and ToriRaugh both notched a sin-gle and a double.Senior Keirstyn Grimm
had an RBI triple in thefirst inning and laterscored on an error as SouthAdams nabbed a 2-0 lead.Augsburger’s two-run sin-gle up the middle highlight-ed a four-run third inning,during which KaylaLeFever and Myers bothdrove in runs.“Started off slow a little
bit in that first inning butafter that (we) hit the ballhard,” O’Dell said. “A cou-ple line drives, a couple popups that could have beencaught, but by and large Ithought we did a good job.“We are pretty disci-
plined at the plate.”After Augsburger gave
way to Alberson to start thefifth, the junior recordedthe first out of the inningbefore Eastom broke up theno-hitter with a single toleft field. It was the only hitof the game for the Cavs.Back-to-back errors and
a bases-loaded walk later inthe frame helped Canter-bury end the shutout withthree unearned runs.“We needed to play a lit-
tle bit better defense in thatinning (Alberson) was play-ing,” said O’Dell. But at nofault to their own, theStarfire defense hadn’tdone much until that point,as Augsburger handled allthe work herself.“That’s just it,” he added.
“I don’t want them to get to
the point where they arelulling asleep and thendecide they don’t have toplay defense.“You can’t sit back on
your heels and expect herto get it done.” With its lead cut to 7-3,
South Adams tacked onthree more runs in the fifthinning, during whichRamirez hit an oppositefield, two run double toright field, and Augsburgernotched her third and finalRBI.Alberson drove in her
only run in the sixth, thenshe and LeFever camearound to score on passedballs for the victory.
Continued from page 12As a freshman and soph-
omore, Laux, ran the firstleg of the Patriots’ 4x100-meter relay that won con-secutive sectional champi-onships. During the sametime, the Patriots had wontheir fourth and fifthstraight sectional titles.“She has improved every
single year and I don’tthink she’s reached howgood she is going to be,”Brian McEvoy, Jay Coun-ty’s girls track coach, saidof the senior. “I think a pro-gram like that, the facili-ties they have and the com-petition they are goingagainst, I think it is goingto make her take the nextstep.“I think we’re only see-
ing the foundation of whatshe can do and I think sheis going to really excelthere.”Laux, who plans to study
psychology, is a two-sportathlete for the Patriots. Sheplayed a crucial role roam-ing the midfield in helpinglead the Jay County girlssoccer team to back-to-backsectional titles — the onlytwo in program history —during the 2013 and 2014seasons. She scored threegoals and totaled fiveassists as the Patriots wontheir first Allen CountyAthletic Conference cham-pionship in 2015.The sprinter is Jay Coun-
ty’s indoor record holder inthe 60-meter dash, a markshe set March 5 in 8.47 sec-onds, besting her time as a
junior by eight hundredthsof a second.“Emma just went about
everything right her entirefour years here,” McEvoysaid. “Not only athleticallybut academically. She washeavily involved in clubsand organizations. In theclassroom she is an excep-tional student. She hasworked really hard for hersuccess. Colleges reallylook for that thing and I’msure that is one of the firstthings (Butler) checked outand looked into with her.“She has really put in the
legwork for that.”Laux credits past team-
mates for helping instillher work ethic as a trackathlete, alluding to AbigailJohnson and Abbi Dunlavy,
both 2014 JCHS graduateswho run at the next level.Johnson competes for Indi-ana Wesleyan, andDunlavy runs for IPFW.Laux’s younger sister
Lucy, a sophomore, hasemerged as a sprinter andhas given her sibling moreof a drive to become faster.As a junior, Emma Laux
finished second and thirdrespectively in the 100 and200 dashes during JayCounty’s inaugural appear-ance in the ACAC champi-onships. In the sectionalmeet four days later, shefinished sixth in the 100dash and fourth in the 200,finishing out of the topthree and a regional berthby 0.14 seconds.Her career-best times are
12.6 and 26.8 secondsrespectively. She also com-petes in the 400 dash — sheexpects to do the same atButler — and her best timein the event is 1 minute, 2seconds.Laux becomes the first
Division I track athletesince Dunlavy, and McEvoyis not looking forward tohaving to replace her.“You hope they leave a
legacy on your program asa role model for theyounger girls,” McEvoysaid. “It is possible, thatyou can compete at thatlevel and if you work hardgood things are going tohappen to you.“I’m hoping the next
Emma Laux is comingalong.”

were making the most oftheir opportunities at theplate too.Augsburger continued
her strikeout tear, fan-ning 14 of the 15 battersshe faced while addingtwo hits and driving inthree runs Wednesday asthe South Adams HighSchool softball teamdefeated the sectionalrival Fort Wayne Canter-bury Cavaliers 13-3 in sixinnings.“I was feeling pretty
good,” said Augsburger,who after striking out 17in seven innings April 5against Blackford hasregistered 31 Ks in 13innings in two outings. “Ithought I threw prettywell.”The junior, who was
celebrating her 17thbirthday, struck out ninein a row to begin thegame, and it wasn’t untilthe top of the fourthinning that the Cavaliers(1-1) put the ball in play.Reiley Brown led off theframe with a groundoutto Isabella Ramirez at
shortstop, then Augs-burger got both AlexHartburg and Claire Ror-ick to go down on calledthird strikes.“She threw strikes,”
said SAHS coach JessieO’Dell. “When she hitsher spots she is prettytough to hit. Just dependson when she hits herspots.“She did a great job.”On two occasions, once
in the second inning andagain in the sixth — shere-entered after givingway to Morgan Albersonin the fifth — she fellbehind batters but stillmanaged a strikeout. Shewas behind 3-1 toDanielle Hanning-Beanto lead off the secondinning before blowingback-to-back fastballs bythe Cavaliers’ cleanuphitter.Then in the sixth,
Augsburger threw threestraight balls to AaliyahEastom before battlingback to fill the count andget Eastom to go downswinging.“Just focusing,” Augs-
burger said of what shedid to get back into favor-able situations. “A lot ofit is focusing.”See BBlloowwoouutt page 11

team win back-to-back sec-tional championships.She’s had her part in a
pair of team sectionaltitles in two sports.Next year, she’ll have the
opportunity to help theBulldogs chase a Big Eastconference title.Emma Laux, a Jay Coun-
ty High School senior,signed a national letter ofintent Wednesday to runtrack for Butler University.“I feel like I have every-
thing figured out andeverything is falling intoplace,” said Laux, who onMarch 31 was awarded ThePortland Foundation’s2016 Lilly EndowmentCommunity Scholarship.“It is nice.”Running track for the
Bulldogs wasn’t in herplans initially, but onceshe visited the campus onthe north side of Indi-anapolis and met withcoach Matt Roe and someof the members on theteam, she was hooked.“He was really nice and
he had really high expecta-tions for the girls and theteam,” she said. “Thatreally drew me in. Once Isaw their facilities, got togo to one of their practicesand meet with some of theathletes, I knew it wassomething I really wantedto do.”
