Fifteen minutes before chow-
down. Kenny Minnick is dancing
and stretching like a boxer before
a fight
“ I ’m psychin myself up now,”
he explains to the sidehners and
begins a short chant. “ Dog food,
dog food, dog food ”
Arm chair kibbitzers fling ad
vice—"R e la x that stomach of
y o u rs ,” —and casual o b s erv a
tions—"You can take the boy out of
the field, but you can't take the
field outa the boy,” —as Minnick
continues his banter
“ That's a fact,’’ Minnick agrees
“T hat’s a fact.”
The 25-year-old Sandy resident is
training for a world championship
title try the following weekend
The only guarantee his entry fee
would bring is a T-shirt with the
legend “Team Alpo "
The competition is new and,
seemingly, brings out the beast in
a man, but someone has to do it.
Minnick is readying for his first
salvo into the world of dog food
eating competition

The shakedown gulp this night is
to see if he has the stomach to bury
his face in a pound of dog food and
eat it. without using his hands, in
as little time as possible
Word at the bar in Ron's No
Place has a contestant at the
Donald. Ore competition chomp
ing through the pile in 1:37 That's
the standard Minnick w ill chew for
to see if he can masticate with the
big dogs, so to speak
A night earlier he tried his first
taste of dog food, just "a couple
spoonfuls ”
“ I ate one off the top. I said,
That's kind of greasy ' So they
gave me one off the bottom and I
said, 'That ain't bad ”
Five minutes ahead of his ap
pointment with the canine cuisine.
Minnick is still psyching himself
up
" I ain’t thinkin' about dog food,”
he reports, “ I ’m thinkin' about bet
ter than that.”
Whatever his thoughts, the w it
ching hour arrives Two piles of
chicken, beef and liver-flavor Alpo
are duped out in front of Minnick
He looks at the piles, one a pound,
the other a half-pounder.

I t ’s a how-to book for survival in the office of the future.
In this new look at stress and hazards, from lighting and
computer terminals to open office concepts, the much-
talked-about office of the future is both a blessing and a
curse. Tom orrow’s office may be more dangerous and
less efficient than ever.
"A ll rig ht.” he roars "L e t’s go
L et’s go ”
Buoyed by his success and the
absence of nausea, Minnick is
ready to reflect on the act " I'm all
right now I t ’s right when you’re
eating it, you think you're gonna
get sick
“ It goes up your nose ”
Then thinking about the possible
entry into the world-class contest
in Donald ” , don't know," he
hesitates, "they might have 'The
Stomach' down there."
COUPON
Oregonians are proud of their state and rightly so.
I t ’s steeped in history from Lewis and Clark to the
Barlow Trail.
Now on the shelf in Northwest reference at Sandy Public
Library are several new books for Oregon history buffs.
Other new books include “ Office Hazards” by Joel
Makower.
"F irs t ume, I don't even get to
practice or nothing?" Minnick
asks
Then he’s at it. After 40 seconds
the one-pound pile is gone The
sm aller piled is wolfed up in
another 50 seconds and Minnick
has met his challenge—more dog
food in less tim e than the unofficial
record the radio reported that day
