Millennium Twist nets buzz from Miramar mechanic inventor
Ralph Millen, a 45 year old Florida car repairman and part time artist, invented the Millennium Twist to stop lateral line twist in Texas style rigging. He and detective Walter Schatzel patented the device, partnered with Eagle Claw, Bullet weights, and Culprit worms, and market it from a Miramar shop with 200000 worms and 1.2 million hooks. The product ships from his garage and will air on Home Shopping Network after early tests with pro anglers.

Elk and deer harvest in Colorado falls in 1999
Colorado hunters took about 29 600 deer and 39 700 elk in 1999 down from 1998 levels as warm weather kept many animals out of range. Only 17 percent of 239 109 hunters succeeded, with elk herd size objectives unmet and antlerless elk licenses set to rise in 2000 amid habitat and livestock conflicts.
