No Comments on The Biggest Fish Species in Delaware You Should Know About

Delaware, the second smallest state in the United States, might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of big fish. However, this coastal gem is a treasure trove for anglers.

Its diverse aquatic ecosystems, from the expansive Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean coastline to the tranquil inland ponds, rivers, and estuaries, are teeming with a variety of fish species. But among these, a few stand out due to their sheer size and the thrilling battles they offer to those who dare to catch them.

Today, we’ll go over the giants of the state’s waters and the record-breaking catches that have etched their names in the annals of the state’s fishing history. Let’s dive deep into the world of the biggest fish in Delaware and their records, and reveal where you can find them!

The Kings of Delaware’s Waters

Delaware’s waters are home to some truly massive fish. The Atlantic Sturgeon, for instance, can reach lengths of up to 14 feet and weigh over 800 pounds. The Sand Tiger Shark, another giant, grows up to 10 feet in length and weighs around 350-450 pounds. Bluefin Tuna are also known to surpass 1,000 pounds, as well as lengths of 10 feet or more.

However, the Striped Bass, often exceeding 50 inches and weighing over 50 pounds, holds a special place in the hearts of Delaware’s anglers. Delaware is often referred to as the “Striped Bass Capital of the World,” and for a good reason. The state’s waters provide an ideal habitat for this species, leading to some truly impressive catches.

Record-Breaking Catches

The Delaware Sport Fishing Tournament, which runs annually from January 1st to December 31st, has seen some record-breaking catches. One of the most notable is the largemouth…

Why Townsend cannot house Empire’s Nanticoke development

No Comments on Why Townsend cannot house Empire’s Nanticoke development

A faded monolith introducing visitors to Townsend's village centre offices stands as lingering evidence of Ontario's plan for a city of 250,000. In the last year, election campaigns have discussed Townsend as an alternative to Empire Communities' plan for a residential development around Stelco's Lake Erie Works. A faded monolith introducing visitors to Townsend's village centre offices stands as lingering evidence of Ontario's plan for a city of 250,000. In the last year, election campaigns have discussed Townsend as an alternative to Empire Communities' plan for a residential development around Stelco's Lake Erie Works.

In the debate surrounding Haldimand County council’s request for a minister’s zoning order (MZO) to allow for the development of industrially zoned lands around Nanticoke as a mixed-use community, many in the have asked whether the 1970s plan to expand Townsend could be an alternative.

Townsend was once planned to be Haldimand-Norfolk’s central metropolis of 250,000, with shops and trails, a library and art gallery, nine schools and an indoor athletic centre, a train station and even a movie theatre.

Today, fewer than 2,000 people reside within the urban boundary, which has no more room to expand. Residents don’t have any of the once-proposed amenities except for the man-made pond and an outdoor sports area.

Former municipal offices now house the local Children’s Aid Society and regional mental health services.

Only 161 hectares of the planned 34,595 hectares were ever developed, and after selling to some farmers, the province held on to the remaining 567 hectares.

Infrastructure Ontario declined to answer questions by the Sachem, but there are currently no provincially owned surplus lands being offered for sale surrounding Townsend.

Retired provincial planner Ted Visser said in the 1970s, the province wanted “to move toward orderly growth so as…

Six Nations’ huge battery project is the future of energy supply in Ontario — and maybe all of Canada

No Comments on Six Nations’ huge battery project is the future of energy supply in Ontario — and maybe all of Canada

The future of Ontario’s energy supply — perhaps even Canada’s — depends on 10 acres of rugged land wedged between an oil refinery and a steel plant some two hours south of Toronto.

This is not land humans can live on. But it is land that powers their lives — literally, in the past, present and future. It’s surrounded by an endless grid, a maze of grey steel frames and white wind turbines casting enormous shadows on the ground, as thick black and grey plumes float through the air from the Imperial Oil and surrounding aggregate and steel facilities framing the horizon.

This energy corridor was created just a few kilometres away from Six Nations of the Grand River, the only reserve in North America where all six Haudenosaunee Nations live together. It was built around them in the early 20th century, without their input or consent.

But the currents are shifting. Decades of energy policy is being transformed on these 10 acres of land where, in two years, 278 batteries will be able to power a city the size of Oshawa, Ont. (population 410,000). If the energy stored in the batteries comes from renewable sources, carbon pollution equivalent to that generated by 40,000 cars will be kept out of the atmosphere every year.

This energy corridor is soon to be the site of Canada’s largest battery storage farm and the third largest in the world: the Oneida Energy Storage Project. Now under construction, the project will be part-owned by Six Nations, which also owns many of the wind turbines spinning around it.

Energy storage is as it sounds: technology that allows for energy created by any source, from solar power to natural gas, to be stored for later use. For over a century, energy has largely been sent down…

Nanticoke man sentenced for threatening child caseworker

No Comments on Nanticoke man sentenced for threatening child caseworker

Jun. 8—WILKES-BARRE — A Nanticoke man accused in separate incidents involving aiming a handgun at a Luzerne County Children and Youth Services caseworker and a police officer and throwing a car battery through a windshield of a vehicle occupied by a toddler was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Thursday.

Cory Ma Gonzalez Crudop, 41, was sentenced by President Judge Michael T. Vough to 11 to 22 months at the county correctional facility on four total counts of simple assault and a single count of terroristic threats. Crudop was also ordered to perform 30 hours of community service.

Crudop pled guilty to the charges April 10 when prosecutors withdrew several felony counts of aggravated assault.

Nanticoke police accused Crudop of placing the barrel of a handgun in the mouth of a woman during a domestic dispute and threw a car battery through the windshield of a vehicle occupied by an 11-month old girl in the area of 64 Hill St., Nanticoke, on July 12, 2022, according to court records.

Two days after the domestic incident, two caseworkers from Children & Youth Services being assisted by three Nanticoke police officers inspected the residence on Hill Street where Crudop hid in the basement.

A Nanticoke police officer found Crudop who stood accused of aiming a handgun at the officer before fleeing the residence through a basement door.

While running from the house, Crudop aimed a firearm at a caseworker, court records say.

“He has changed his life around and accepted responsibility,” said Crudop’s attorney, Frank T. McCabe.
