DNREC Fish & Wildlife stocks trout for fall in White Clay Creek

 

WHITE CLAY CREEK (Oct. 16, 2014) – The Fisheries Section of the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife announced today that White Clay Creek has received its annual fall stocking of trout. Fall stockings have occurred at White Clay Creek since 2007.

 DNREC Fisheries staff, along with volunteer help, stocked about 1,000 pounds of rainbow trout throughout White Clay Creek at all normal stocking locations from near the border with Pennsylvania downstream to Newark. Volunteers used float boxes to carry about 800 fish weighing about 1.25 pounds each from the truck access points along White Clay Creek, which offers the most public access of any Delaware trout stream.

It was a deadly mix: a mentally troubled man from an abusive, broken home turned radical racist and then serial killer.

His name was Joseph Paul Franklin, and he went on a horrific killing spree beginning in 1977 at the age of 27. Before his reign of murder ended in 1980, he took the lives of at least 15 men, women, and children in some 11 states. He also admitted shooting civil rights leader Vernon Jordan and paralyzing pornography publisher Larry Flynt.

Franklin—born James Clayton Vaughn, Jr. before changing his name to reflect his admiration for Benjamin Franklin and Nazi Joseph Goebbels—was drawn to white supremacist ideologies as a teen. Dropping out of high school following a severe eye injury, he got married, became an abusive husband, and began racking up minor legal violations.

A Hi-Nella NJ man who pleaded guilty to having unwanted sexual contact with a nuclear plant co-worker was ordered at sentencing today (10/17) to avoid being seen by the woman when he picks up his wife, who still works with the victim at the Salem I nuclear facility.

 

 \”Let’s make it happen,\” Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen Jackson told defendant Michael J. Ford (DOB 5/30/58) and his attorney, after hearing the victim read an \”impact\” statement in which she said her trustfulness \”has been replaced with fear, suspicion, anger, shame and utter embarrassment.\”

 

 She went into an \”emotional downward spiral\” after the incident that occurred on Route I-295 in Logan Twp. NJ as she drove Ford home from work on 10/25/13, the woman said. The woman’s husband reported Ford’s actions to the New Jersey State Police afterward. Ford no longer works at the plant, but his acts \”continue to haunt me\” she said.

 

 As a first-offender who pleaded guilty to the fourth-degree crime of criminal sexual contact, Ford was sentenced by Judge Allen-Jackson to three years on probation and was required to undergo a psychological evaluation and follow its recommendations.

 

 In addition to the general order that Ford have no contact with the woman or her family, Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Michelle Jeneby asked the judge to include a sentencing requirement that Ford change how he picks up his wife after work at the Salem County NJ nuclear plant. \”It’s the fear of seeing him,\” said Jeneby. One afternoon, Ford parked his car one vehicle away from the woman’s car, Jeneby said.

 

Judge Allen-Jackson suggested Ford’s wife walk to another building and parking lot at the end of the day. \”’I’m not trying to make it convenient for Mr. Ford,\” the judge said. \”I want to make it safe for the victim.\”
