Storm Tragedy and Trap Shoot Highlight Franklin County News
A Princeton area storm caused a significant fish kill along Middle Creek and the Marais des Cygnes River due to leaf coverage and oxygen depletion from decomposition, with walnuts intensifying the effect. Wildlife Officer Johnny Ray notes quail and other species affected. Ottawa Quail Unlimited hosts a trap shoot Sunday at WOWCC, 5 to 10 p.m., near Williamsburg, with $2 lines and cash prizes. Proceeds fund habitat projects, wildlife feed programs, and conservation efforts including a native grass drill purchase for the Franklin County Soil Conservation District.
