Ole Augie

"Ole Augie," also known as Tom Augsburger was honored by the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club on Sunday. The number one tagged trout was named in his honor. Augsburger has served as the club president for over 22 years. He is part of the first "father-son" team to share the number one trout honor. Tom's father, Ralph, was recognized by the club when it named the number one trout in his honor in 1983.

On Saturday May 12, letter carriers in Bluffton and Beaverdam
will participate in the Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

The nationwide food drive is the largest one day food collection in the
country filling food pantries and food banks. It is easy to help and
participate. Just collect and bag non-perishable food items or paper
products and place by your mailbox or bring them to the Post Office.

Please do not include expired items or items in glass containers.

It was a pretty good day for fishing. Just ask Robbert Tidd of Ada, or Elmer Noble of Lima, or Wyatt Matter of Bluffton, or Jeff Huff of McComb.

Turns out "Old Augie," named after Bluffton Sportsmen's Club president, Tom Augsburger, tagged trout number one, was snagged by Tidd. The Ada fisherman took home $1,157.50.

Huff of McComb won the 50-50 drawing and also took home $1,157.50. Noble didn't win cash, but took home bragging rights for catching the longest trout. It measured 20 1/2 inches.
