Ty Rushing/Daily NewsNewton’s own Daniel Lopez-Sanders was recently crowned the Iowa Knights of Columbus Spelling Bee champion. Daniel, 12, is a seventh-grader at Berg Middle School, enjoys reading, playing “Minecraft” and participating in other academic activities.

he is the B-E-s-TBy Ty Rushing

Daily News Senior Staff Writer

In Newton, there happens to be a young man who devours 300-plus page novels overnight, can play the clarinet well enough to be named to the 2013 South-Central Iowa Bandmasters As-sociation District Honor Band and has had various roles in Newton Community Theatre productions over the years.

The previous examples provide just a small sample size of the things that Dan-iel Lopez-Sanders, 12, enjoys doing and can do fairly well.

Daniel also happens to be a very tal-ented speller and just 11 days ago, he be-came the 2014 Iowa Knights of Colum-bus Spelling Bee Champion for seventh graders.

“Ehh, medium,” Daniel said, motion-ing his hands up and down when asked how hard it was to win that title.

Don’t make the mistake of assuming Daniel is over-confident based on that answer — he’s not. He was just very sure of himself based on how hard he prepared for the KOC’s local, regional and state spelling bees.

“I studied really hard with my mom,” Daniel said with a laugh.

And study hard the pair did.Daniel and his mom, Lori, had been

studying the 900-word spelling bee list released by KOC since the middle of Jan-uary. The four pages it took to print off the list are covered with markings form various writing utensils — pens, pencils, highlighters — and feature everything from stars to check marks and up to en-couraging words.

“I knew in my heart that Daniel very much had the capability to go far in this competition, because he and I had done lots of studying of the words, let me tell you,” Lori said. But his determination and confidence is what really helped him through this.”

“We went through the entire list a couple of times,” Daniel said. “But then, we would just go through the ones that I missed.”

If the results are any indication, it’s needless to say Daniel wasn’t missing very many words on the list by the time the state competition rolled around on March 2 in Ames.

“I wanted to (be the champion) but didn’t know if it would happen,” Daniel said.

March 7, 2014

In 1987, Roy began his ministry with the Baptist Fellowship in Fullerton, was ordained on March 8, 1990, and on Oct. 7, 2000, the fel-lowship became the duly

organized Victory Baptist Church.

On Dec. 17, 1994, Roy married Fran (Good-speed) in Omaha, Neb. They served together at Whispering Cedars un-til the summer of 2003, when they moved to Ful-lerton to serve full-time at Victory Baptist Church. On Oct. 7, 2012, Roy and Fran started Grace Baptist Church in Genoa, Neb. They were enjoying their 20th year of marriage and loved serving the Lord to-gether.

Joe Heller Cartoon

You can tell I have been knocked down and around throughout my life but, no one has ever been able to stop me from moving forward.

For a few years, I lived in Muscatine. The claim to fame of M u s c a t i n e is it has the most mil-lionaires per capita in the state of Iowa.

I have had the chance to meet many of the millionaires who lived in Muscatine and their sto-ries were prime examples on how to be a success in what you do. I remember hearing the stories of how they were knocked down and around, but simply kept moving forward.

I find myself in a professional job getting knocked down and around throughout each day, but I keep moving forward. I found myself talking with my father about my column and he remind-ed me that to have all the success in the world isn’t anything with-out being truly happy and doing good in life.

He told me how in all his time of searching for success have you be able to do what makes you happy. He told me of the times we would get off work and have a father and son night, about how happy we were knowing we just finished a hard day of work.

He reminded me of how we haven’t had a father-son day. He reminded me how we have been missing out on a trip to Twin Peaks in West Des Moines, hav-ing a 29-degree beverage, a big greasy meal all the while flirting with the waitresses to turn my cousin’s face red.

He reminded me of how I wanted to take him to Blue Moon Dueling Piano Bar to meet my buddy Papi Sorrels, to have a night of singing off-key and for him to know what the “Ice-Ice-Papi” is.

He reminded me its great to have success, but what is success without true happiness?

I have had the chance on a few occasions to write about my ex-periences sailing on Lake Michi-gan with family, which will be my summer vacation this year for Cherry Festival in Traverse City, Mich. I have always been taught experience is a measure of a suc-cessful man.

In Michigan, I was able to learn how to sail on Lake Michi-gan, but also survive without the simple things in life we take for granted. I grew a passion for life in Michigan. I have always won-dered if I would ever meet some-one back home who had the same passion for Michigan as I did.

During a recent community event, I had the chance to offi-cially meet Iowa Speedway Presi-dent Jimmy Small.

I finished my interviews and taking pictures for the night when I approached Jimmy and after breaking the conversation of letting him know I wasn’t in re-porter mode was when we started talking about Michigan. It was amazing to hear him talk about his home state of Michigan, which made me want to go back sooner.

In this conversation, I could tell Jimmy’s passion makes him a very successful person. I have always been asked “how cool is it?” to be able to interview Jimmy and I smile because in honesty its more shooting the bull with him, just talking about racing, life and most of all Michigan.

In being a staff writer for the

Daily News, I have found it’s great to have a network of suc-cessful people to work with on ideas, but most of all enjoy the fruits of our success. I never really got the true meaning of this until I had a chance to get introduced to the Jaycee presence in town.

I was always told about this group in town, which have one thing in common: they were all Jaycees.

I was told by a friend the brains of the operation is Angie Taylor. After about five months of hear-ing about her, I actually got to meet her and her rag-tag group.

After conversations with the group, I came to the conclusion that, in combination with who they are and what they know, they have become very successful group.

I have learned much from this group, but the biggest les-son I have learned is sometimes people may hate or dislike you for being so passionate, and will try to knock you around and down to slow you down. If you know you’re going to beat them by do-ing the right thing, keep beating them.

I find myself writing this be-cause it has come to my atten-tion, from many people, that it’s believed I am “slow” because of my speech issue. I tell you my speech may be off, but I have spent a lifetime studying conver-sation; studying Newton and the surrounding communities; and if there’s something I don’t know a lot about, I will find the smartest person I know on the subject and I will learn from them.

In the end, I have found being a journalist you’re an eternal stu-dent, learning about everything you will encounter throughout your week. I have made it a pas-sion to acquire skills from the most successful people I know.

The Hometown Kid

By Zach JohnsonStaff Writer

Clowns send a cold shiver down my spine. Clowns play a recurring role in any night-mare I have.

Clowns are the rea-son I am still afraid to be in the dark. Clowns are why I look over my shoulder when I am walking down the street by myself.

So I breathed a sigh of relief recently upon learning the glorious news that America is suffering from a clown shortage. The life and times of a career clown are fading, or so says the president of Clowns of America Inter-national.

The clown population in this nation is at an all-time low and clown experts claim membership in clown organizations have dwindled in the past decade.

I contacted the president of the Interna-tional Association of Mimes about these de-velopments and he refused to speak with me and otherwise had no comment.

To any clowns who may be reading this, please don’t take offense. I am just overjoyed because this shortage of clowns drastically reduces my actual chances of being murdered by a clown in the shower (provided that any clowns reading this are not offended and are not the murdering type).

I think I speak for a wide segment of the population when I suggest that clowns are absolutely terrifying. I can’t for the life of me understand why because that’s the exact op-posite image that a clown wants to project.

In the case of clowns, I am afraid that for me it’s another example of a few bad apples — Pennywise and John Wayne Gacy — ru-ining the bunch.

So I say good riddance to clowns because even on a fundamental level clowns are scary. If you don’t believe me let us try an experi-ment. Think of the worst way to die.

Now think of the worst way to die and imagine a clown also being involved. For in-stance, falling overboard off a ship is pretty scary.

Not the way any one of us wishes to leave this Earth.

Envision floating out at sea, the muscle fatigue and the constant paranoia of sharks. Now imagine a clown swimming in your di-rection, just over the next crashing wave.

Just thinking about that gives me a case of the heebie-jeebies.

Even if you take away the white makeup, the red nose and the dramatically large shoes clowns are scary. The type of person behind the costume is unsettling to think about.

The main reason is at some point in time during a person’s life they were going through a rough patch and wondering what their pur-pose in life was.

And somehow deciding to become a clown was the solution.

After all, what decent human being actu-ally elects to enroll in Clown College?

I don’t think it is too much of a surprise to learn about the deflating population of clowns across the country. I don’t think clowns get many work benefits.

Maybe a leftover piece of birthday cake here or there, but besides that and carpooling opportunities it all seems meaningless to me.

Personally, that’s one of the great things I love about America.

That’s what we are worried about, a short-age of clowns. Talk about living high on the hog.

Do you think other countries are as dis-tressed as America is about a clown shortage? Of course not!

A clown shortage is a First World problem if I ever heard one. Other countries are more concerned about a shortage of food, drink-able water, stable government and undeni-able human rights. Do you think the popu-lace of Ukraine is worried about this alleged shortage of clowns?

I use the words “alleged shortage of clowns” because I genuinely feel this is noth-ing but clown propaganda. There can’t ac-tually be a shortage of clowns because the halls of American government are filled with them.

Though with unemployment rates as high as they are and the need for more clowns ev-er-present, perhaps this could be the much-needed shot in the arm to bolster our econo-my. If this next generation decides to follow in the large footsteps of famous clowns like Bozo, then more power to them.

I just hope they understand that they will have some mighty big (and terrifying) shoes to fill.

tile, new floor, all the addi-tions to the departments, we have much more to offer our customer with a larger vari-ety,” Greiner said. “We are re-ally pleased the way it turned out.”

Fareway corporate officials were contemplating moving out of the current location but found through studies com-pleted by the company that being close to downtown was the best option for business.

“We like the location, its a little bit closer to the actual

downtown versus having to move further off of the main street. So we really liked the location and after looking from an engineering perspec-tive, we felt we could do some updates to remodel the store and take us into the future,” Greiner said. “We absolute-ly wanted to remain down-town. The other areas that we looked at would take us fur-ther away and we felt that this would just be best.”

Greiner feels that shopping in Newton Fareway will be a new experience with the same quality of service for years to come for regular customers or first time customers.

“They will find depart-ments that we haven’t had and the selection of frozen food has expanded to over half of what it was,” Greiner said. “There’s additional offerings in our fresh meat department and the dairy department dis-plays has more flavors and brands to offer customers. Just the fact that we have been able to put in larger cases allowed to bring in a better variety, so hopefully customers will find that it ’s easier to shop.”

Lori says that during the competition, her husband, Emigdio, and Daniel’s older brother, David, kept teasing her and calling her the “ner-vous mom.”

“I bet anything, I was way more nervous than Daniel was. I’m sure many other par-

ents can relate to that feeling, when their kids compete in sports, music or in anything really,” Lori said. I just tensed up during the spelling bee. However, I was just so incred-ibly proud — and I must say relieved, as well — when he’d finally accomplished this in-credible feat.”

Daniel simply sums up wining by saying it was “amazing.”

While a lot of people are fixated on this victory, Dan-iel has other current activities he’s turning his focus towards. At Berg Middle School, where he attends classes, he participates in yearbook, stu-dent council, band, chorus, jazz band, woodwind choir and “Cardinal Company,” which he describes as “an ex-tra-curricular choir.”

“I’m not much of a sports

person, but I’m into this type of stuff,” Daniel said. “My schedule can get pretty hectic, but it’s all worth it.”

With such a busy schedule, Daniel remains non-commit-tal towards possibly trying out for the 2014-15 Scripps National Spelling Bee — next year would be his last eligible year— but admitted it could be a possibility.

For now, he is looking for-

ward to Spring Break; howev-er, he does offer some advice for those who want to take up the mantle of Iowa’s spelling bee champion next year.

“Three words: practice, practice, practice,” Daniel said.

Zach Johnson/Daily NewsCommunity members vote on their favorite points made throughout the discussion about the vision for downtown.

Community members create their vision for downtown NewtonBy Zach Johnson

Daily News Staff Writer

Main Street Iowa held a community meeting on Tuesday night at DMACC to create a five-year vision plan for downtown Newton.

The conversation was facilitated by Main Street Iowa. The community mem-bers and leadership were challenged with nine ques-tions involving the highlights and challenges of downtown Newton.

“You can feel a wonder-ful sense of engagement and commitment to the re-vitalization of downtown as well of a sense of passion, a

sense of community pride of what downtown means to the community of Newton,” Iowa Main Street State Co-ordinator Michael Wagler said.

The community meeting was supposed to have taken place during the initial meet-ing, but the city was holding the “Get to Know Newton” community rally, so the Iowa Main Street community meeting was delayed until Tuesday.

“I think one of the new unique aspects of what New-ton has to take advantage of is with the Comprehen-sive Plan and what the city has done in the past five

years,” Wagler said. “The branding effort that was re-ally wrapped up in February, when we were here for our first visit, provides a won-derful opportunity to build a foundation on everything that is being done to use the visionary ideas that were in-cluded in tonight’s conversa-tion.”

Iowa Main Street will take the result of the community response to the nine ques-tions to draft a vision state-ment for downtown Newton.

“We will present that at Main Street University to the board and we will come back to present it to the commu-nity in April,” Wagler said.

PAJAMA DIARIES

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: When I was in my early 20s, I had a baby boy I placed for adoption. I could barely take care of myself, let alone a newborn. The father wanted nothing to do with me or the baby, so I placed him with his relatives out of state, who adopted him. With counsel-ing, I got my life back on track, finished college and got a good job. I am married now and have a family.

After 20 years, this child, “Fred,” called me. We talked every night for a few weeks and I invited him here to live with me. BIG MISTAKE! Long story short, Fred is greedy, lazy and expects everyone to wait on him. He refuses to look for a job or go to school, and he expects me to pay all his expenses.

I called his adoptive family. They said when things don’t go his way, Fred pouts and doesn’t communicate until he needs money. They feel exactly as I do — he should get a job or go to school.

Abby, my family loves Fred and wel-comed him with open arms, but I feel detached from him. As soon as I learned I was pregnant, I began separating myself because I knew it would be difficult to let go. I do not regard Fred as a member of my family and have no maternal feelings for him. I’d be OK if I knew he was doing well — from a distance. But I’d prefer not to maintain a relationship. I don’t love this young man, and I don’t know what to say when he says, “Love you, Mom.”

Am I wrong to feel this way? Is there anyone else out there who feels as I do? My family is trying to guilt me into ac-cepting him, but I can’t. It’s not because of his greedy behavior, although that’s part of it. Have others had a similar experience? — SINCERELY NOT HIS MOM

DEAR SINCERELY: I’m printing your letter because although many adop-tion reunions go well, not all of them do. If other birth mothers would like to share their experiences, I’m inviting them to do so.

However, I do have this to offer: Do NOT allow yourself to be trapped into doing anything with which you are not comfortable. Your feelings may be based on the circumstances surrounding Fred’s

birth. They may also result from your disappointment in his lack of character. While you will always be Fred’s birth mother, you are NOT his “mom.” That distinction belongs to the woman who raised him.

DEAR ABBY: My brother is dat-ing one of my employees. She has one of those “take charge” personalities. She’s pushy and she’s trying to worm her way into the family.

At work I can keep her at bay, but at family events she’s out of control. She insists on doing and cooking everything — including cleaning my mother’s house, which isn’t dirty, by the way.

My older brothers’ significant others have noticed, but being the only daugh-ter, I’m at my wits’ end. She won’t take “no thanks” for an answer. I am sick of her “I’ll get this, I’ve got it, it’s OK” attitude.

I’m trying to keep my brother’s hap-piness in mind and not cause a scene, but I’m afraid I’ll lose it one of these days. Any advice? — I, TOO, CAN ORGA-NIZE A PICNIC

DEAR I, TOO: Has it occurred to you that your brother’s girlfriend (your employee) may be desperate to be ac-cepted, which is why she’s going to such great lengths to please? My advice is to relax, because her efforts are no reflection on you. I’m sure you have done your part at many family functions. If her efforts are alienating the other significant others, perhaps they can stage an “intervention” and get her to calm down. In the mean-time, hang onto your temper.

The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess takes stage at the Civic Center

DES MOINES —Des Moines Perform-ing Arts will present “The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” at the Des Moines Civic Cen-ter Tuesday, April 1, through Sunday, April 6. The musical is part of the 2013-14 Willis Broadway Series.

Tickets to “The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” are on-sale now at desmoinesperform-ingarts.org, the Civic Center Ticket Office, all Ticketmaster loca-tions and charge-by-phone at (800) 745-3000. Groups of 15 or more should call (515) 246-2340.

Performance sched-ule includes: Tuesday, April 1, at 7:30 p.m.; Wednesday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, April 3, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 5, at 2 p.m.; Saturday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, April 6, at 1 p.m. and Sunday, April 6, at 6:30 p.m.

“The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” by George Gershwin, Du-

Bose and Dorothy Hey-ward, and Ira Gershwin, features one of Broad-way’s most accom-plished creative teams, led by Tony Award —winning director Diane Paulus (Pippin, Hair), Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan –Lori Parks (Topdog/Underdog), and two-time Obie Award-win-ning composer Diedre L. Murray (Running Man).

Based on DuBose Heyward’s novel “Por-gy” and the play of the same name, which he co-wrote with his wife Dorothy Heyward, the Broadway revival of “The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” is a stunning and stirring new stag-ing with a magnificent 23-piece orchestra, in-cluding such legendary songs as “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “I Got Plenty of Nothing.”

The classic story is set in Charleston’s fabled Catfish Row, where the beautiful Bess struggles to break free from her scandal-

ous past, and the only one who can rescue her is the courageous Por-gy. Threatened by her formidable former lover Crown, and the seduc-tive enticements of the colorful troublemaker Sporting Life, Porgy and Bess’ relationship evolves into a deep ro-mance that triumphs as one of theater’s most exhilarating love sto-ries.

“The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” first premiered at the Co-lonial Theatre in Bos-ton on Sept. 30, 1935. Broadway performanc-es followed featuring a cast of classically trained African-Amer-ican singers — a daring and visionary artistic choice at the time. This new adaptation of “The Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess” was specifically created for Broadway and features a revised book in a musical the-atre format and jazz-oriented musical ar-rangements.

The Vernon Company and UAW ratify contract

Union workers at The Vernon Company ratified a three-year con-tract agreement that includes wage increases and changes in health insurance coverage for union em-ployees at the company.

In addition, the parties agreed to modifications in contract lan-guage to allow for more flexibility and more efficient operation of the facility.

“Given the competitive na-ture of our business and, more specifically, the rising costs of health care, we are happy that we were able to come up with a new

contract going forward that will provide the flexibility needed to maintain costs for the next three years,” stated Tony Oberman, vice president of Vernon Graphics. “We feel this is a fair contract for both the company and our union employees.”

The previous contract was to expire at midnight on Friday, Feb. 28. The new contract will remain in effect until 2017.

The Vernon Company produc-tion facility was organized by the UAW Local 997 in 1952. There has never been a formal work stoppage during this 62-year re-lationship.

Iowa’s graduation rate increasesDES MOINES

— For the third year consecutive year, the state’s graduation rate has increased, accord-ing to figures released by the Iowa Depart-ment of Education. At the same time, few-er students were drop-ping out of high school in Iowa.

Graduation rates for the class of 2013 in-creased for all but one subgroup of students.

Of particular note are significant increases among students whose first language is not English (1.82 per-cent), Hispanic stu-dents (2.02 percent), and Native Americans (10.5 percent).

“As a former Iowa superintendent and high school principal, I know the hard work that goes into getting every student across the finish line to com-

plete high school,” said Iowa Department of Education Direc-tor Brad Buck. “Iowa’s increasing graduation rate is a testament to the commitment of everyone across the state, from parents to teachers to adminis-trators to policy mak-ers.”

The statewide graduation rate is 89.68 percent, mark-ing a three-year trend.

A fond farewell to Daffodil Days2014 marks the 101 birthday

of the American Cancer Society. Time has been taken to reflect on the progress that has been made in the fight against cancer. In an effort to maximize its impact, the society has chosen to invest in fundraisers that can help reach more people, raise the most funds, and inevitably save even more lives faster.

“The Daffodil Days program is one of many beloved fundraising activities that has brought volun-teers, staff and community mem-bers together to help create a world with less cancer and more birth-days” stated Jeff Pence, Ameri-can Cancer Society volunteer and Chairperson for the Daffodil Days event. “The program has brought hope and cheer to many people; however, currently Jasper County has been one of only a limited num-ber of campaigns still taking place across the country.

“Given the passion and dedica-

tion of our committed volunteers and donors, this was not an easy decision, but ultimately it will al-low the Society to have greater re-sources to invest into our lifesaving mission. It will also give everyone a chance to participate in events that celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost from the disease, and fight back in communities nationwide and across the globe. Along with raising funds, these events, like Re-lay For Life — scheduled for Fri-day, June 13, at H.A. Lynn Stadium in Newton — are instrumental in reaching millions with lifesaving information and resources.

For other ways to continue to support the Society and the fight to end cancer, contact the American Cancer Society by visiting www.cancer.org or contact the Jasper County Relay for Life co-chairs, Debby Pence (641)521-9301 and Roxann Wormley (641)792-3833.

Older Adult Wellness: Down-Shift

Whether you’re retired and carefree or at the peak of your career and working more than you should, tak-ing time to down-shift is vital to optimal well-being. Down-shifting can look different from person to person depending on stages of life and personalities. For a career-driven executive, down-shifting may need to be a couple of hours of “dig-ital detox” each week. For a retiree, down-shifting could be taking time each day to reflect and be grateful.

Without giving our-selves dedicated time to unwind, stress can build up to become a true problem. Learning how to handle stress before it handles you is the key to maintaining a

healthy life. Taking time to down-

shift is essential not only to fighting off stress-related chronic conditions, but also to simplifying and enjoy-ing life. If you want to start getting a grip on your stress levels or experience a sim-plified life, commit to just one of the following list of six healthy behaviors. Sticking to even one of them can help you feel bet-ter instantly.

Sleep Soundly. Quality is as important as quantity when it comes to sleep. Im-prove your chances for a sol-id night of sleep by keeping the room at a cool tempera-ture, turning off the TV, cell phone, and digital clocks. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day to give your body a routine.

Create a Relax Room. Find space in your house that you can dedicate to re-laxing. Set up a comfy chair with pillows. Place lamps, candles, and plants around the room to create a sooth-ing environment. Spend time each day in the space to down-shift.

Laugh Loudly. A good laugh goes a long way to decompress. Sit down to watch a funny show or movie. Invite a friend and laugh until your cheeks are tired and your belly hurts.

Set Aside Unwind Time. Each day, set aside time to relax and refresh. Turn off all screens —phones, tablets, and TVs. Reflect on your day and everything for which you are grateful.

Friends and Family First. Spend time invest-

ing in important relation-ships. Grab coffee with a friend or call a family member to catch up on life.

Protect Your Day Off. Make sure your day off is actually your day off. Rath-er than rushing to fill up your schedule, protect your day off as a relaxing day for you. Try to run errands and do chores on other days so you have more down time on your day off.

The way to change the effects of stress on your life isn’t to annihilate stress it-self, or completely change your circumstance — it’s to change the way we ap-proach and interpret the events around us. So how-ever you choose, make sure you take time in your life to down-shift in a way that nurtures your mind, body and spirit.

Eating green for this St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. When my kids were young, it was fun to turn ordinary foods green. With a little food coloring, we ate green pancakes for breakfast and green macaroni and cheese for supper. Now that my kids are grown, the green food coloring will stay in the cabinet. But that doesn’t mean I won’t bring a plate of green good-ies to my St. Patrick’s Day party, I’ll just let nature handle the green part. Here are some tips to eat green on St. Patrick’s Day — the way nature intended.

Green Vegetables on a Veg-gie Tray with Green Dip. Arrange a combination of celery, broccoli, green pepper strips, cucumbers, fresh zucchini and green onions on a vegetable platter. Serve with spinach dip. To keep the dip on the healthy side, use low fat cream cheese and reduced fat sour cream in your recipes.

Green Fruit Kabobs with Lime Dip. Alternate green grapes with thick-cut slices of kiwi, and granny smith apples that have been cut in chunks, on to skewers. Dip the apples in lemon juice to prevent browning. Serve with lime flavored yogurt.

Green Pinwheel Appetizers. Instead of the flour tortillas usu-ally used in this popular appetizer, use spinach wraps that you can pur-chase in most grocery stores. Spread spinach dip over the wraps and roll up tightly. Wrap each with plastic wrap, twisting the ends. Refrigerate for several hours. Unwrap the plas-tic wrap, and cut into ¾-inch slices.

Pesto Bruchetta. Pesto is a natu-rally green spread made of minced basil, pine nuts, and healthy olive oil. Spread store bought pesto on top of toasted French bread slices for a delicious appetizer.

Pistachios. Fill a snack bowl with these colorful, naturally green nuts instead of candy. In addition to offering fiber, Vitamin E and healthy fats, pistachios are one of

the lowest calorie nuts.Guacamole. This delicious dip is

always a hit. The main ingredient in this classic is avocado which is also rich in Vitamin E, fiber, and healthy fats. As nutritious as guacamole is, the calories still add up. Try dipping green vegetables in your guacamole and don’t overdo the chips.

This St. Patrick’s Day, go for the naturally green, and find a wealth of nutrition at the end of the rainbow.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — It’s the marquee matchup that everyone fi gured would happen in the Big 12 tournament: Kansas against Oklaho-ma State, featuring Andrew Wiggins and Marcus Smart.

Not many people thought it would be happening in the quarterfi nals.

The top-seeded Jayhawks earned a bye into Thursday’s showdown with their 10th consecutive regular-season title, but the eighth-seeded Cowboys — who at one point lost seven straight league games — needed to beat Texas Tech in a fi rst-round matchup just to get the opportunity.

None of that matters now. The two teams picked as favorites to win the Big 12 title last fall will meet at the Sprint Center for a spot in the tour-nament semifi nals.

“We understand the challenge. It’s going to be an incredible challenge,” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. “We have a lot of respect for Kansas, and we understand how good they are.”

In the other quarterfi nals, second-seeded Oklahoma will play seventh-seeded Baylor, which didn’t put away pesky TCU until late in their game

Wednesday night. No. 3 seed Texas will play No. 6 seed West Virginia, and fourth-seeded Iowa State will play fi fth-seeded Kansas State.

The game that’s sure to draw the most interest, though, is Kansas-Oklahoma State.

The Jayhawks have the star fresh-man in Wiggins, while the Cowboys have arguably the league’s most dy-namic player in Smart, who had 18 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and six steals in an 80-62 victory over Texas Tech on Wednesday night.

Neither player was particularly good in their fi rst meeting — Smart was 3 for 14 from the fi eld and 0 for 6 from beyond the arc, while Wiggins scored just three points. And they played to a virtual draw when the teams met in Stillwater earlier this month.

So maybe the game will be decided by their supporting casts.

The Jayhawks will be without star center Joel Embiid, who has been ruled out indefi nitely with a stress fracture in his back. The 7-foot shot-blocker participated in a light shoot-around at the Sprint Center

on Wednesday, but Kansas coach Bill Self said he was just “jacking around.”

The Jayhawks and Cowboys will take the court about 30 minutes after Iowa State and Kansas State kick off the four-game quarterfi nal slate on Thursday.

The Cyclones, who are fi rmly in the NCAA tournament, beat the Wildcats in Ames earlier this season, but fell in Manhattan just over a week ago. Kansas State is trying to take any drama out of Selection Sunday with at least one victory in the conference tournament.

Another team trying to play its way into the NCAA tournament is West Virginia, which is just 17-14 but is carrying momentum from a victory over the Jayhawks. The Mountaineers will face a Texas team that has lost four of its last six games.

After knocking off TCU 76-68 on Wednesday night, the Bears have won eight of their past nine games, and believe they have done enough to slip into the NCAA tournament. But beat-ing the Sooners would almost certain-ly seal the deal, even if it’s something they’ve yet to do this season.

Perez, Moustakasshine in Royals’

win over A’s PHOENIX, Ariz. (AP) —

Yordano Ventura struck out six in 4 1-3 innings and Salvador Perez hit a two-run home run, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 3-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

“I like his composure. I like the way that game doesn’t speed up on him for a young player,” Roy-alsmanager Ned Yost said of the 22-year-old Ventura. “He always seems to be in control of his emo-tions on the mound.”

Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas continued his torrid spring, going 3 for 3 with a solo homer, double and single to raise his batting average to .500 in 11 games. Moustakas has four home runs and 13 RBIs.

Moustakas got two of his hits with two strikes.

Ventura allowed a run on two hits, leaving after giving up a sin-gle to Oakland’s Derek Norris.

“I felt good. I threw good pitches and I threw a lot of strikes,” Ventura said in Spanish. “I’ve been working hard on when not throwing hard, having control of the ball.”

The Royals scored three runs in the sixth inning off A’s reliever Sean Doolittle. Billy Butler dou-bled with one out and scored on Perez’s two-out long ball.

Perez is 10 for 21 in spring train-ing and returned after missing most of Monday’s and all of Tuesday’s game with a bruised left palm.

Scott Kazmir silenced the Roy-als for four innings in his second start of the spring. He has not al-lowed a run and only three hits over seven innings. He has fi ve strikeouts.

Ventura, a right-hander from the Dominican Republic who is one of the Royals’ top prospects, has the statistical edge over teammate Dan-ny Duffy so far in spring training. Ventura or Duffy look to be the third man in the regular-season starting rotation between two left-handers, Jason Vargas and Bruce Chen.

Perez said Ventura was working both sides of the plate and had a good changeup, but that he has to talk to him at times to make sure he doesn’t always throw hard.

Astrograph

It is only natural to feel like a scared animal when faced with totally unfa-miliar circumstances. To survive the wilds of civi-lization, our inner animal must understand, predict and exert some measure of control over the environ-ment. The cosmic lifeline today is a trine of the sun and Saturn. Keep calm and take it all in; good fortune follows.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 13). You’ll lavish in special attention over the next three weeks — your sense of drama works in your favor. Your creative flair will attract employ-ment or a highly beneficial relationship. Those in your inner circle need special care in April and May, and it’s rewarding for you to provide this. August brings a lucrative venture. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 1, 33, 38 and 13.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are multifaceted and usually can tell right away which part of your personality is best matched to the situation at hand. However, today’s situa-tion is different. Observe

awhile before you decide how to react.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To a forest animal, a snapping twig could mean your cub has come home, your next meal is close by or you’re in imminent danger. Be alert to the snapping twigs today and ready to respond in kind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you’re not a mon-arch, CEO or traffic cop, you probably won’t be able to command people to do what you want today. But if you are crafty and clever, you’ll be able to engineer a desired response.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The cosmic gift offered to you today is objectivity. You will feel like a story writing itself, and you will enjoy the plot and affect it. You are both the audience and the main character.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success will require half-skill and half-confi-dence. You don’t need to worry about the confidence part. As you work on your skills, your confidence will grow quite naturally.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You didn’t set out to discover how you are perceived by others, and that is part of what makes today’s information from the “peanut gallery” so interesting and delightful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Has ennui set in? Your outer world will blossom after you gently shake your inner world awake. Get back to reading more. The magic that happens in your mind as you read is real and powerful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be in mixed company: those who really want the truth and will ap-ply it to a successful end, and those whose egos are too fragile for this. It will therefore be unwise to be too direct and honest in today’s discourse.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not be able to use a tool you regularly employ to do your daily work. This may leave you feeling like a coyote with-out a sense of smell, but ultimately it will broaden your horizons, forcing you to explore your other gifts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Caution: You’ll be tempted to rate and rank the work and appearance of colleagues, competi-tors and random people in magazines, but that will only lead to jealousy, envy and self-limiting thoughts. Instead, focus on you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who cares too much about what others think will always feel and be victim to the constraints of convention.That’s not you. Try the thing you’ve been thinking about. It won’t go right the first time, so try it several times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You seldom think about striking a beauti-ful pose or executing a charming gesture, gener-ally preferring to do what comes naturally. However, today’s caper may require a stretch in this regard, and you will likely enjoy that, too.
