Bill to House
floor
The bipartisan Conservation and Reinvestment Act
(CARA, H.R. 701) passed a major milestone Wednesday when the House Resources
Committee voted to forward the conservation legislation to the
House floor for full consideration. The legislation would provide
conservation with the largest infusion of federal funds in
history, $ 44 billion over the next 15 years. Much would go to various state and
local conservation programs, including including nearly $ 22
million for Georgia wildlife in just one of the bill's seven programs.
Triple team
The last name Millsaps probably caused some
double-takes, or maybe triple- takes, to those following the leaderboard in last
weekend's Ranger Millennium M1 bass tournament near Cypress Gardens, Fla. Three
brothers --- Jimmy Millsaps of Canton, Mike Millsaps of Acworth and David
Millsaps of Woodstock - -- all competed in the big-money tournament. They also
represented the family well; all three reached the top 50 semifinal round. David
had the best showing, reaching the co-angler, or amateur, finals and finishing
10th, despite being shut out on the final day. Jimmy was 40th in the pro
division and won $ 7,000. Mike finished 41st in the co-angler division and won $
2,500. . . . The H.D. Marine Benefit for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta bass
tournament on Lake Lanier last weekend raised $ 40,000 despite a drop in entries
from the previous year. Jackie and Kelly Bagley of Adairsville won the event
with a total of 24.7 pounds, including the opening day's big fish winner, a
7.58-pounder.. . . Glen Miller of Newborn and Jimmy O'Neal of LaGrange won the
Durand-Wayland March of Dimes fall charity bass tournament on West Point Lake
last weekend ($ 3,000) with a one-day weight of 14 pounds, 7 ounces. The big
fish was a 6-6 bass caught by John Salers of Anniston, Ala. The tournament
raised $ 1,290 for the March of Dimes. . . . John Smith and Billy Maddox, both
of Macon, teamed to win the season-ending Patriotic Bass Anglers Top Six
Championship on Lake Varner near Covington, catching a five- fish limit weighing
9.38 pounds. . . . Randy Jackson of Poplar Bluff, Mo., won last weekend's
BASSMASTER Missouri Central Invitational held on Arkansas' Lake of the Ozarks
with a three-day total of 14 bass weighing 34 pounds, 13 ounces.
