(Editor’s note: Our Hero was volved In an argument with a lawyer last week over the number of Jurors a court can seat on the head of a pin Nothing Important was settled as a - It was after result of the argument all with a lawyer except the relative size of the egos Involved While MM admits he did not win he insists he came in a dose second Battles of ego you see are often determined not by logic but by volume He who Is loudest loses This weeks column is about ego big ones little ones and other peoples It is not being done as a mere philosophical exercise It Is being done to for future confrontations prepare with egos that rival Fred Flinstones) Thanks Ed I could have done the introduction myself but it’s okay lean be big about it I realize you need to justify your paycheck too Okay so what is an ego? When one’s opinion about oneself is referred to as fact by the one and when (to everyone around one) it just plain old everyday basically isn’t so that’s ego Some profound (just ask me) observations about ego: Physical size and ego are not had a 6’7” ego lated in a 49" body Remember Baby Herman in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” After observing Wyoming Senator A1 Simpson I’m convinced (despite the Samson story) that dimension of hair loss is not directly proportional lo the size of the ego I find this revelation (I have been profoundly comforting asked by Cato the Wonder Kitty my journalistic sidekick why I don’t make the same reference to Utah Senator Jake Gam whose is also hairless and Republican Believe it ornot the dimension of the reference in this column is directly proportional to the degree of respect for the subject) Sex has nothing to do with ego By that I mean the gender of the individual has no influence on the size of the ego (Editor’s note: I think you’ll need to be very careful there) Right Never- - mind Consumer brought to newspaper Government The ex act location of the ego in the human body has never been scientifically established Clearly for some it is in the head for others it is manifest in the stomach and for others it is warmest when they are sitting down You can't eat an ego or pay rent with it But certainly when all else fails you can justify more with it Lawyers call themselves attorneys reporters call themselves journalists politicians call themselves statesmen Too often attorneys are thieves journalists are liars and statesmen are convicts Everybody has an ego even Elmer Fudd although his ego is fictional The Disederata says there are always greater A true and lesser people than you is above it all egoust keeps track Some egos are bigger than others the size of Mt Some approach Rushmore Some people are not famous enough to justify the size of their egos Dealing successfully with massive egos comes under the heading of diplomacy or tact For example men must learn when on a date that it is counterproductive to laugh at a women who says something stupid (Editor’s note: no living h uman being actually understands the female ego) Here are some other very amazing and profoundly shrewd insights (just ask me) about people with huge egos: Although they may be full of hot air people who have inflated egos do not have gas They do not have dents in their cars they are They will find ways lo use words like “paradigm” and “normative” in a conversation Or a humor column They do not run down the street nekkid with their hair on fire to relieve stress They hire someone to do that for them If your ego were a sandwich would you put catsup on it? -- Whoever has the smaller ego does the dishes An egotist invented thumb wres- - tling Finally it has come to my attention from one of my many fans that have been accused of having a disproportionately large ego myself A shocking cusation I know but it is not true I am am not egotistical above all that merely I am proud of my humility In fact I am (Editor’s note: The ability to write with his foot In his mouth at the same time makes MM truely one of the great columnists of

Operators of the plant had been air quality in Millard monitoring County roughly once a week Cordner said plant managers were ordered to make daily tests after it was found that federal standards for a particulate material known as were exceeded at least once “The assumption is that had they been monitoring every day” he said “they probably exceeded the level more than the one time” Cordner said the company is analyzmonitoring filters from the ing station to determine whether the particulates are dust or from combustible material “We’re assuming it’s from the facility unless they can show us that it isn’t” he said Company spokesman Roger Pelot said Jie pollution may have come from other sources such as trucks cattle or military maneuvers Pelot is director of public affairs for the Los Angeles De partment of Water and Power IPP’s biggest customer At present the state is requiring little more than daily monitoring and quarterly reports Cordner said “Ifwecould identify the source” he said “we would ask them to tell us what they were going to do to solve it” There is no timetable for dealing with the problem Cordner said The power plant supplies 35 percent of electricity needs of Los Angeles The city buys 60 percent of IPP power the plant's largest customer according to Los Angeles Water and Power Department spokeswoman Mindy Berman The rest of the plant output goes to five other Southern California cities Riverside Pasadena including Anaheim Burbank and Glendale Intermountain Power Service Corp provides the work force at the power pi ant wh ilc the LADWT directs the staff and is responsible for operation and maintenance of the plant Berman said This year the state Junior Livestock shows are undergoing some major revisions that you need lo be aware of First 'of all slock shows have been grouped into three categories according to show dales Millard County has been put into the same group as Spanish Fork and Vernal Each county will weigh in beef for all three shows at the same time We will be weighing cattle on January 13th at four locations in the county (Scipio City Scales 10 am Holden City Scales lpm Delta Old Stockshow Bam 10 am and Leamington at 10am Maximum steer weight is 800 lbs and Heifers are 750 lbs There is no requirements this year Cattle will be tagged and the entry forms filled out at the weigh in There are a great many rule changes as well You must be between the ages of 9 and 8 on January 990 except for mentally handicapped participants Record Books are still required for the Millard County show and are due at the time animals are weighed in at the show There is a mandatory dress code for exhibitors For FFA it means a while shirt and FFA jacket For 4H it means a white shirt with a collar and sleeves and a 4H emblem on the pocket or shoulder Since you may be weighing cattle in for all three shows you could bring 3 or more animals You are also allowed to tag one additional animal as a substitute which would bring the total to 4 Any of the 4 animals could go to any of the three shows as long as they have been registered for that show However they can only go to one show Once they have been shown they cannot be exhibited again Once again we will have the rate of gain and careas contest Minimum ownership for beef is 100 days Drug use is unethical and in most cases unlawful within days of slaughter If they’re not halter broke leave them home or bring your alternate Don’t use a needle The Dept of Agriculture will conduct random tests this year lo determine drug use on animals There will be a weigh-ifee of $ 00 for each animal to pay for ear tags This years Millard County Junior Livestock Show will be May 29 to June Our sheep and swine weigh-iwill be March 10 Call me Larey Campbell at or Terry Taylor at
