Outsider Trump wins stunning victory to be 45th president WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump claimed his place Wednesday as America’s 45th president, an astonishing victory for the celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on voters’ economic anxieties, took advantage of racial tensions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House.

Trump’s triumph over Hillary Clinton, not declared until well after midnight, will end eight years of Democratic dominance of the White House. He’ll govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply divided by his rancorous

campaign against Clinton.

He faces fractures within his own party, too, given the numerous Republicans who either tepidly supported his nomination or never backed him at all.

As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.”

Clinton, who had hoped to become the first women to be elected president, called her Republican rival to concede but did not plan to speak publicly until Wednesday morning.

She was leading the nationwide popular vote, though some states were still counting ballots.

Global stock markets and

U.S. stock futures plunged early Wednesday, but later recovered, reflecting investor concern over what a Trump presidency might mean. The Dow Jones industrial average was flat after trading opened Wednesday.

President Barack Obama called Trump to congratulate him and invited the Republican to a meeting at the White House Thursday to discuss transition. Obama also called Clinton to convey his admiration for the “strong campaign she waged throughout the country,” White House spokesman Photo by JOHN LOCHER/Associated Press Josh Earnest said.

Dennis Brown, Monday secure Surrounding Union County supervisor seats counties’ local election results in

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

Unofficially, Dennis Brown and Lois Monday have secured the two Union County supervisor positions over Robert Brown, following the release of general election results from Union County Auditor’s Office Tuesday evening.

Dennis earned the highest count with 4,105 votes and Monday received 2,696. Robert wasn’t too far behind Monday with 2,272 votes.

“Oh my gosh, I’m just grateful for everybody who turned out to vote – no matter who they voted for – and I t h a n k the people who v o t e d D. Brown for me,” Dennis said. “I’ll do my best to live up to their expectations.”

Monday said she was prepared for a contested race and is happy to have won a position on the board again.

“All the years I’ve sat there on that board, I’ve never had a free ride in with nobody running against me,” she said.

“I’ve had to work and do what I was supposed to do, ... and I made up Monday my mind that I wasn’t done yet.

to see that we got to it and that it was better for Union County and the people in it.”

Monday and Dennis have said there is work to be done in the county, especially on the roads, which is the main ongoing project.

“I just wish all the best to the supervisors and the county,” Robert said. “It’s our county and I love it very much, so I wish the supervisors all the luck in the world.”

This year, the number of registered voters in Union County was 8,197 people. Of that number, 5,878 voted. So, unofficial Union County voter turnout was 71.7 percent.

Schaefer said there was a 72 percent voter turnout,

Adair County. This compares to a city election, which has about 20 percent turnout.

“There was a decrease in absentee ballot voting,” Schaefer said. “Four years ago, we had 1,690, and this year we had 1,445. I really think, and this is just my opinion, I think people were having difficulties making up their mind and were waiting until election day to cast that ballot.”

St. Malachy to hold first STEM event Thursday

By KELSEY HAUGEN CNA associate editor khaugen@crestonnews.com

In an effort to offer students hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) experience and show them what the local workforce has to offer, St. Malachy School will hold its first-annual STEM night.

“STEM is more doing instead of just reading and learning. The more students do, the more they learn and think outside of the box,” said Spencer Scar, St. Malachy middle school science and social studies teacher.

“The more you get the kids doing instead of being taught at, the more they get Scar out of it.”

The free STEM event, open only to St. Malachy students and their families, will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the school gymnasium in Creston. St. Malachy PTO will provide free popcorn for the evening.

Obama planned a televised statement Wednesday on “what steps we can take as a country to come together after this hard-fought election season,� the White House said.

Trump, who spent much of the campaign urging his supporters on as they chanted “lock her up,� said the nation owed Clinton “a major debt of gratitude� for her years of public service. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Obama and Trump had “a very nice talk� when the president called him.

The Republican blasted through Democratic strongholds of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states that hadn’t voted for a GOP presidential candidate since the 1980s. He needed to win nearly all of the competitive battleground states, and he did just that, including Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and others.

A New York real estate developer who lives in a sparkling Manhattan high-rise, Trump forged a striking connection with white, working class Americans who feel left behind in a changing economy and diversifying country.

He cast immigration, both from Latin America and the Middle East, as the root of problems plaguing many Americans and tapped into fears of terrorism emanating at home and abroad.

GOP Senate candidates fended off Democratic challengers in key states, including North Carolina, Indiana and Wisconsin. Republicans also maintained their grip on the House.

Senate control means Trump will have great leeway in appointing Supreme Court justices, which could shift the bench to the right for decades.

Trump has pledged to usher in sweeping changes to

He has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and spoken of building a better relationship with Moscow, worrying some in his own party who fear he’ll go easy on Putin’s provocations.

Putin sent him a telegram of congratulations.

Trump upended years of political convention on his way to the White House, leveling harshly personal insults against his rivals, deeming Mexican immigrants rapists and murderers, and vowing to temporarily suspend Muslim immigration to the U.S. He never released his tax returns, breaking with decades of campaign tradition, and eschewed the kind of robust data and field efforts that helped Obama win two terms in the White House, relying instead on his large, free-wheeling rallies to energize supporters. His campaign was frequently in chaos, and he cycled through three campaign managers.

Conway, his final campaign manager, touted the team’s accomplishments as the final results rolled in, writing on Twitter that “rally crowds matter� and “we expanded the map.�

Clinton spent months warning voters that Trump was unfit and unqualified to be president. But the former senator and secretary of state never sold the nation on her own candidacy.

She faced persistent questions about her honesty and trustworthiness. Those troubles flared anew late in the race, when FBI Director James Comey announced a review of new emails from her tenure at the State Department. Just two days before Election Day, Comey said there was nothing in the material to warrant criminal charges against Clinton.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, November 9, 2016

Trump bests Clinton in close election HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Election Day on Tuesday saw a massive voter turnout in the contest for U.S. president between Donald J. Trump and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The election didn’t turn out to Hollywood’s liking. On Wednesday morning, street vendors were selling maps to the stars’ place in line at Air Canada.

New York hotel magnate Donald Trump astounded his critics in the media and Hollywood and was elected president of the United States on Tuesday. Trump There had to be silent rejoicing on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Donald Trump’s election is the Comedian’s Full Employment Act of 2016.

Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States on Tuesday after one of the most contentious and divisive elec-

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

tions in American history. Once the dust settles, there can be no doubt about one thing. Now that Trump will succeed Obama in the White House, orange is the new black.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had the highest negative poll numbers of any rivals for the presidency Tuesday. Many voted for the least bad. Millions of disaffected voters went into Tuesday not seeing it as Election Day, but as the kick-off to the impeachment process, regardless of who wins.

Barbra Streisand said she’d move to Australia if Trump was elected and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg said she’ll move to New Zealand Streisand

and Rosie O’Donnell to Canada.

You can’t make it up. Committed liberals are so angry America elected a racist they’re moving to the White Dominions.

Donald Trump triumphed on election night thanks in large part to his colorful but contentious and patriotic personality.

It produced either a stirring idea or a consensus outrage every day. It could be the first time that Americans decided to elect a man president just out of morbid curiosity.

Donald Trump’s victory had to wait late Tuesday when he was leading by a slim margin in four states and he needed to carry one to get elected president.

Many Americans watching the returns took advantage of this delay. In L.A., people rushed outside to buy tacos before all the taco trucks are gone.

Donald Trump surprised pollsters with his much-stronger-than-expected showing Tuesday in the Rust Belt states.

There was also some confusion.

At first, it was reported Trump was doing very well with black

voters in Western Pennsylvania, but on closer inspection they were coal miners.

Newt Gingrich was mentioned Monday as the likely appointee for Secretary of State if Donald Trump was to be elected president.

These two men view the world Gingrich the same way.

Newt and Donald were last onstage together in Atlanta for the opening of the new theme park, Six Wives Over Georgia.

Hillary Clinton endured an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation and her misuse of classified emails to wage a close battle for president. The FBI Clinton Director came down twice in her favor despite the evidence.

The day after the election, Bill

Cosby asked his judge for Hillary’s lawyer.

California voters went to the polls Tuesday and passed a ballot initiative to make smoking pot legal. The backers of the initiative had no idea the measure was short-sighted. Making smoking pot legal in California wasn’t enough because now that Trump’s their president, it needs to be mandatory.

The Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank had to cancel polo matches and riding events and quarantine all the horses inside their stables to keep them safe. It was all due to an outbreak of a mysterious and potentially deadly horse virus. Everyone wonders what the horses had on Hillary.

Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday didn’t just anger Democrats, it mortified Republicans in the Never Trump Movement who’d refused to endorse him. Here’s the safest bet this month. The first member of the Bush family to mention Trump’s name at the Thanksgiving table is out of the will.

2016

BEAUMONT, France – I’ll never forget the first day I saw the little French millhouse. It had been my choice as a holiday rental, a blind decision, sight-unseen except for one blurred photograph, made because of the romantic description of its former role as a mill and the promise of a lagoon.

This was in the days before the internet, and you didn’t take virtual tours.

Four of us arrived late one summer Sunday as the red roses climbed the stones and the sunflowers in fields all around rotated toward the Dordogne sun.

I was ecstatic, and probably irksome in my self-congratulatory enthusiasm.

“It’s perfect,” I announced, daring anyone to disagree.

It had been 20 years and some months since I first saw the small stone storybook house in the Dordogne countryside. It has remained my all-time favorite house, anywhere, ever, and I have photographs and Christmas cards and all manner of sentimental scrapbooks to prove it.

It was French perfection.

I lived in the fairytale rental for one month, with the others, and we spent much of our time convening out front on a wide patio. We raced baguette boats in the lagoon, watched the snaz-

King Features commentary Rheta Johnson

zy French farmers ride by on tractors and the grazing sheep across the way.

It wasn’t a perfect time, but close. Travel always gets better in the rearview mirror.

I wanted to see if the house was still there. I wanted to see it in the fall. I wanted to see if it remained as enchanting as I remembered. I had tried to find it online to rent again but could not.

We drove about an hour, from another French rental that was somewhat less enchanting, but anything would have been. I had no problem locating the right turn down a dirt road in the middle of French Nowhere.

I felt unreasonably anxious.

It was still there. At the end of the path, where the yard meets a farmer’s field, the stone house sat empty and boarded up, more lonely-looking than any place I’ve seen in this part of France.

I jumped out of the car and took a couple of photos, but “No Trespassing” signs were everywhere, and I didn’t linger. The

rose bush was still there, but not blooming. The table where we’d solved the world’s problems was gone. The ducks weren’t in the lagoon.

The surroundings seemed different, not July profuse, not as inviting. It was depressing.

And I remembered something my mother had said countless times. When we vacationed in Florida, where we nearly always vacationed, and I begged for postcards, usually I got what I asked for. Mother loved them, too.

Every now and again, when our travel funds ran low, I guess, Mother would say, “No. Hold that memory in your heart.”

And now I think that might be the best way to keep things from spoiling. Let memory do the work. There’s no going back.

The husband who shared that house with me is dead. The friends who were with us are no longer part of my life. The little house that has stood there since the 13th century remains, but my short page of its story has turned.

A lot of water’s been under the bridge and over the mill wheel. The trick is to work at creating new memories, then to hold them unmolested in your heart.

Renowned animal behaviorist Provenza will lead three-day workshop WINTERSET – Practical Farmers of Iowa has invited renowned rangeland scientist and animal behaviorist Fred Provenza to teach a three-day workshop exploring how behavioral processes link the health of soil, plants, herbivores and humans, Nov. 15-17 in Winterset.

The workshop, “The Web of Life: Three Days with Fred Provenza,” runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day and will include classroom and field segments.

Classroom portions will take place in the Jackson Building, at Madison County Fairgrounds, 1204 W. Summit St. The second day will feature a visit to the farm of Practical Farmers member Frank Santana, who operates All 4 1 1 4 All Cattle Company just north of Winterset, where attendees will apply lessons learned in the classroom.

The workshop is free, but registration is required. Contact Lauran Zastrow at 515-232-5661 or lauren@practicalfarmers. org by Wednesday, Nov. 9, to sign up. Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day. Dinner and lodging, for those who need it, are not covered. A block of rooms is available at the Cobblestone Inn and Suites in Winterset. Mention Practical Farmers of Iowa for a room discount.

The event is sponsored by Practical Farmers of Iowa and Niman Ranch.

Workshop attendees will explore the interrelationships between plant, ani-

mal and human behavior and what those links mean for how people and the animals in their care can transform – ecologically, economically and culturally – with the landscapes they inhabit. Attendees will learn how the vitality of the land influences the species and behaviors of soil-dwelling organisms, which in turn affects the varieties, chemical characteristics and behaviors of plants. Other topics will explore epigenetics, creative systems, foraging challenges, the value of plant diversity, grazing and plant palatability and producing nutrient-rich food.

“Plants are the glue that binds ecosystems together,” said Provenza, professor emeritus at Utah State University. “Ultimately, the health and well-being of people is linked with the health of soil through plants and herbivores. The goal of the workshop is to help people become aware of behavioral principles and processes that foster healthy relationships among soil, plants, herbivores and people.”

Provenza said understanding these behavioral links can help livestock REGULARsave MEETING OF THE farmers money and CRESTON CITY COUNCIL NOVEMBER 1, 2016 start to develop creative The Creston City Council met in reguapproaches managing lar session at 6:00 to o'clock p.m. on the above date in theand Council Chambers of the their land animals.

Fire Chief Todd Jackson informed Council about their recent ISO (Insurance Service Office Inc.) rating. The Fire Department has improved its ISO rating from Class 5 to Class 4, in turn giving improved services and hopefully improved insurance rates for homeowners. The new rating reflects the department's significant improvements in providing the city with more protection. Since the last ranking, the department has added company-specific training for its firefighters, weekly training sessions for its officers, equipment carried on the truck and more detailed mappings of the municipal. The dispatch center was also updated and the water disPaid fortribution

Todd Jackson also spoke to Council regarding the retention pond being built close to his property. The huge dirt pile is directly outside his fence line. Not only does it look terrible, he is very concerned about the runoff where it slopes down both directions, and feels it's not aesthetically appealing to the area.

Have these beans lost their magic?

Dear Heloise: I found some DRIED BEANS that I must have stored in the pantry years ago. They were in the package, but seemed extremely hard to the touch.

Are they still good? – Peggy E., Rockford, Ill. You can try cooking them, and they may be all right. A lot depends on storage, and for how long. The following info comes from the United States Dry Bean Council: Stored longer than 12 months, beans can lose moisture or absorb moisture, which can make them rockhard. When this happens, no amount of soaking will make them soft again – don’t waste your time.

In the future, store beans in airtight glass jars in a cool pantry or kitchen cupboard, out of direct sunlight.

Label the jars with the date.

– Heloise FRESH COFFEE Dear Heloise: I love coffee, and I thought I would share my hint: Put a pinch of salt in the coffee before you brew it to keep it from having any bitter taste. I learned this years ago, and it always works! – Heidi R., via email Coffee tastes vary, and everyone has his or her

Hints from Heloise personal preferences when making coffee selections.

If a pinch of salt works for you, I say pinch away! This is a longtime Heloise hint, and sure can’t hurt! I also enjoy many different coffees, and I have my Heloise’s Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet available, which is filled with hints and recipes for coffee, and tea as well.

To order a pamphlet, go online to www. Heloise.com, or send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (68 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Coffee, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Did you know that 37 percent of coffee drinkers like their coffee black, with nothing added?

If you are one of the others who adds sweetener, try dropping in a piece of your favorite hard candy. – Heloise

Creston News Advertiser | Wednesday, November 9, 2016

Make brunch ‘eggs-citing’ this fall (BPT) – Eggs, they’re the superstars of your fridge.

Delicious on their own, or the perfect addition to a salad, skillet or even breakfast tacos, their versatility makes the possibilities truly endless.

And as families today are choosing fresher, unique ingredients to inspire their own ethnic dishes at home, eggs are a perfect choice.

They are especially prevalent in Hispanic cuisine - and are a celebrated ingredient in a variety of Latin dishes from around the world, such as traditional Spanish flan, to Brazilian feijão tropeiro to Mexican huevos rancheros.

It’s no surprise that eggs pair beautifully with the brightly-colored, bold ingredients often found in Latino cuisine.

While these beloved egg-tastic dishes celebrate a vibrant culture, they also deliver high quality protein - 6 grams in one large egg!

These perfect little protein powerhouses are an inexpensive, nutrient-dense, and tasty way to start off your weekday routine. And with the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans removing the daily cholesterol limits and recommending eggs in all healthy eating patterns, people can feel good about including them in their diet.

This pair of surprisingly simple recipes will take your repertoire to a new level.

The Chilaquiles with Fried Eggs are served up with a rich tomato sauce, making this dish special enough for brunch with company, while delivering a heartiness that will satisfy any dinner appetite. The Huevos Divorciados is one of those effortless entrees that require common pantry ingredients, but deliver big, bold flavor.

Explore more tasty ways to serve up eggs with these recipes and more from the American Egg Board at incredibleegg.org.

what’s cookin’ in THANKSGIVING I spent Thanksgiving with my son and family in Ohio and here are couple of recipes I enjoyed while I was there. The Thanksgiving turkey was an easy, flavorful recipe with a hint of honey and herbs. The pumpkin pie was also easy to prepare and was the perfect ending to our Thanksgiving meal. Smakelijk eten!

HONEY HERB GLAZED TURKEY 1 - 16-lb turkey, neck and giblets removed 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground pepper 1 onion, quartered 1 tsp. dried thyme extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup melted butter 1 tsp. dried sage

1 Tbsp. fresh minced parsley 1/2 tsp. dried basil 1/2 tsp. salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 300°. Rinse the turkey and pat dry with paper towels. Place turkey in a large roasting pan. Stuff the cavity with the quartered onion. Brush the turkey completely with olive oil. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper and thyme. Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours. In a bowl, combine the honey, melted butter, sage, parsley, basil, salt and pepper. Stir until completely combined. Baste the turkey with the mixture. Continue to cook the turkey until an instant-read thermometer reads 180° when inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, about another 2 hours. Continue to baste the turkey with the honey mixture as the turkey roasts. Remove the turkey from the oven and cover with foil. Let sit for 10-15 minutes before carving.

CLASSIC PUMPKIN PIE For the crust: 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp. granulated sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1 stick cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes 3-5 Tbsp. ice-cold water

For the filling: 1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree 3 eggs 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream 3/4 cup whole milk 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/4 tsp. allspice 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp. salt

Make the crust: Place flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the largest pieces of butter are the size of small peas, about 6-8 pulses. Add 3 tablespoons ice-cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together, adding more water by the teaspoonful as needed. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface (I use parchment paper) and form into a round disk. Roll the dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer dough round to a 9-inch pie dish by wrapping it partway around the rolling pin. Place pie crust in refrigerator while you prepare the filling. You can use a prepared crust if you wish.

Make the filling: Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, heavy cream, milk, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well combined. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.

Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° and continue baking pie for 45-55 more minutes, until filling is set in the center when you jiggle the pan. (If desired, you may also insert a tester into the center to see if it comes out clean.) Halfway through baking, check on the pie and cover the crust with foil or pie protectors if needed to prevent over-browning. Cool pie on a wire rack for 2 hours and then transfer to the refrigerator. The pie flavor will develop overnight and it will taste even better on the second day. what’s cookin’ in kyp’s kitchen sponsored by:

Lazard a bright spot in tough year for Iowa State

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

AMES (AP) — Even as the losses mount at Iowa State, Allen Lazard’s numbers keep climbing.

The junior wide receiver was the No. 1 recruit during the seven-year tenure of former coach Paul Rhoads, and he’s living up to the billing for first-year coach Matt Campbell.

The Cyclones might be 1-8, but it’s certainly not be-

cause Lazard has failed at his job.

“If you came to practice and watched the last three weeks of practice -- Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday -- Allen is as locked in as anybody on our football team,” Campbell said Monday. “That’s what I want for Allen because in my humble opinion, I think Allen has a chance to be one of the best players in college football.”

Lazard is entirely comfortable hearing that from

his coach because the standout from suburban Des Moines wants the same thing.

“I think very highly of myself,” he said. “I think I still have a lot of room to grow.

I haven’t reached my full potential this year, I don’t think, but I think I can do a lot of special things out there.”

He already has.

Lazard leads the team in receiving (48 catches), yards (658) and touchdown

catches (five) and is steadily climbing the school’s career records list. He has caught a pass in all 32 games he has played and now ranks fifth in career receptions (145) and TD catches (14) and third in receiving yards (2,059).

If he stays another year -and he says he will -- Lazard almost assuredly would pass Todd Blythe (176) as the career receptions leader and would have a shot at Blythe’s 3,096 receiving

yards. Blythe’s 31 career TD receptions would be out of reach without a monster, injury-free senior season, but who knows?

He keeps getting better separation from defensive backs. At 6-feet-5 and 223 pounds, he has always been an enticing target.

“He’s one of those guys that in any situation, you can throw him the ball,” quarterback Joel Lanning ISU | 9A

Lenox’s Stoaks becomes a Spartan

By KALEB CARTER

CNA sports reporter kacarter@cresttonnews.com

LENOX — With a group of family, friends, coaches and more looking on Tuesday, Lenox senior Jacy Stoaks signed on to play collegiate athletics as a Southwestern Community College Spartans.

Stoaks will have her shot on the volleyball court and the softball field for the Spartans while pursing her Associate of Arts degree. Stoaks said she was thinking about possibly pursuing a Master’s degree in Athletic Training at Northern Iowa in the future.

“They’re (volleyball and softball) my favorite sports so I wanted to play both of them if I could,” Stoaks said.

“I can come home and see my friends and they can come watch me play.”

Being close to home was a big part of the decision for Stoaks.

“I like being not far away and I can just come home whenever I want to,” Stoaks said.

SWCC volleyball coach Aleesha Cleaver and new Spartans softball coach Paige Cassady were present for the signing and spoke glwoingly of Stoaks.

“She definitely has all of the fundamentals,” Cassady said. “She’s very coachable. She seems like she’s really going to be one of those kids that’s going to work hard and be a team player.

Cleaver spoke with equal, if not greater optimism.

“It’s nice definitely to be able to get that first (recruit) and get things rolling, especially getting a local player who is really talented,” Cleaver said.

Iowa State men’s basketball

Iowa State bolstered by return of star PG Monte Morris

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

Editor’s note — Today is the second in a series of four previews of major college men’s basketball in Iowa.

Today features the Cyclones.

Thursday will feature Northern Iowa and Friday Drake.

Iowa appeared in Tuesday’s C-NA. AMES (AP) — Iowa State had already planned on losing Georges Niang, perhaps the best player in school history, to graduation. The Cyclones were left to hope that star point guard Monte Morris wouldn’t follow Niang to the NBA. The surprising return of Morris , a senior, should keep Iowa State in Big 12 contention and beyond in 2016-17.

The Cyclones won’t have as much sheer talent at the top of its rotation as it did a year ago, when it was led by Niang and his 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

But Iowa State’s depth, a major concern last season, should be markedly improved this year.

Beyond Morris, the Big 12 preseason player of the year, the Cyclones r e t u r n Prohm shooting guard Naz Mitrou-Long from season-ending injuries and swing man Matt Thomas, who blossomed into a high-level Big 12 starter in 2015-16. A pair of 6-foot-8, one-and-done senior transfers, Merrill Holden (Louisiana Tech) and Darrell Bowie (Northern Illinois), replace Jameel McKay at center.

Junior forward Deonte Burton is expected to take a big step forward in his first full season in Ames, and second-year coach Steve Prohm said newly-eligible guard Nick Weiler-Babb has the most NBA potential of anyone on the roster. Even the expected loss of Morris turned out to be a blessing for Iowa State. It recruited junior college standout Donovan Jackson to replace Morris and now has both.

“Morris has been terrific.

He had a great summer. He got bigger. He got stronger.

He understands he has to be a leader on this team,” Prohm said.

Here are some of the story lines to follow as Iowa State looks to make its sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance this March.

MORRIS’S ROLE Prohm built a reputation for developing lead guard-type players while at Murray State, so it’ll be interesting to see how Morris’s role develops in 201617. Morris has always been happy to dish out assists, setting the NCAA record for assist-to-turnover ratio as a freshman and a sophomore. But last season Morris began to look for his own shot more than ever, finishing with a career-high 13.8 points per game.

NAZ IS BACK Mitrou-Long’s decision to seek a medical redshirt after just eight games in 2015-16 robbed the Cyclones of some much-needed depth. But his return should make Iowa State better than expected

ISU men’s hoops Last season: 23-12, lost in the Sweet 16.

Coach: Fran Steve Prohm Conference: Big 12 Who’s gone: F Georges Niang, F/C Jameel McK-

ay, F Abdel Nader.

Who’s back: G Monte Morris. Senior guard is the Big 12’s preseason player of the year and arguably the nation’s top point guard; G Naz Mitrou-Long. Redshirted to heal ailing hips in 201516. He’s healthy and primed for an All-Big 12 type season; G Matt Thomas. Senior came into his own filling in for Mitrou-Long last year.

Who’s new: G Donovan Jackson. Junior college star signed as insurance if Morris went to NBA. Shot 49.5 percent on 3s a year ago; C Darrell Bowie. Senior graduate transfer who averaged 13.1 points and 7.1 rebounds at Northern Illinois last season before a shoulder injury set him back.

in 2016-17. Mitrou-Long, a fifth-year senior that Prohm said is among the best leaders he’s ever coached, has promised to be the Cyclones “glue guy” this season. Mitrou-Long averaged 12 points a game a year ago.

BEAST OF BURTON Burton, at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, is a unique player in that he can mix it

up in the post and take the ball down court for high-flying dunks. But Burton was inconsistent last season, dominating one night and disappearing the next.

Prohm said he wants Burton, who scored 9.7 points a game with 3.9 rebounds in his Iowa State debut, to average a double-double this HOOPS | 9A

Cole Tanner of Greenfield (played varsity football for Creston/Orient-Macksburg), is CNA photo by KALEB CARTER overcome with emotion after being pulled from the game in the fourth quarter of Central Dutch senior offensive lineman and former Creston/Orient-Macksburg player Central’s 49-14 Senior Day victory over rival Simpson College.

HOLDEN AND BOWIE Iowa State likely won’t need either of them to play like stars. In the Cyclones’ small-ball system, Holden

ISU: CONT. FROM | 8A

said. “If he’s double-covered or whatever, if you just give him a chance to catch it, he’s more than likely going to catch it. He’s one of those guys that just wants the ball all the time.”

A toe injury slowed Lazard at midseason and his performance suffered. He couldn’t plant and drive off on that foot and during one three-game stretch, he managed only nine catches for

and Bowie will be asked to provide a front-court presence, gets as many rebounds as they can and fling it up the court so that Morris and the backcourt can exploit matchups in transition. Holden had 8.1 points with five rebounds a game for Tech last season.

Bowie was averaging 13 and seven for the Huskies before a shoulder injury set him back.

THE SCHEDULE Prohm must have figured that the Big 12 round-robin was tough enough, because Iowa State’s non-conference schedule is far from daunting. A home date with Cincinnati and a road game at Iowa are the highlights, although the Cyclones could get Miami in a tournament game the day after Thanksgiving.

88 yards. His longest play in that time covered a mere 17 yards.

“It was hard just because I would sit there during practice and watch my teammates,” he said. “That’s probably the hardest part, knowing you can’t go out there and practice because you physically can’t. Then have to try to turn it on on Saturday and you’re not really in shape at all and you really haven’t gotten the reps and the timing down. It really hurts you in that aspect.”

Then the injury healed

and his production took off.

His numbers for the last four games: 27 catches, 330 yards, three touchdowns.

“All of a sudden he gets a chance to catch his breath and get healthy,” Campbell said. “I think you’re starting to see the byproduct. In critical situations, he’s making those plays.”

Lazard has thrived despite working with a revolving door of quarterbacks. He has caught passes from four different quarterbacks in less than three full seasons and even hauled in a touchdown

pass from a wide receiver on a trick play.

“They were all right-handed, so that helps,” he said.

“It’s not a different spin. I had a left-handed quarterback in high school. For the most part, it’s not really different, just the trajectory of the ball is a little bit different, especially on deep balls.

The deep ball’s different just because some throw it flatter and harder and some just kind of throw it up there. It’s CNA photo by RYAN KRONBERG something you’ve got to get Junior receiver Allen Lazard has been a bright spot for the used to, I guess.”

STEM: CONT. FROM | 1A

“It’s to expose our kids to different careers and to STEM outside what they’re used to in their classrooms,” said Jennifer Simmons, St. Malachy principal. “It’s to expose them to some of the stuff they maybe don’t see every day relating to different sciences and technologies, engineering and math – the four components of STEM.” Simmons said representatives from a number of organizations, including Stalker Chevrolet, Southern Hills Veterinary Services, Union County Extension and Outreach, Greater Regional Medical Center EMS, A&G Pizza Steakhouse and Lounge and Southwestern Community College, will be on hand with equipment and hands-on activities relating to their fields of work. There will also be a soil scientist, augmented reality sandbox, robotics team and

compound pharmacist.

“We’re going to have the gym set up in a circle shape with maybe an interior circle as well, and the kids will go around to the different stations,” Simmons said. “They’ll have a passport to check off different places they go, and they will do the activity each group has brought in. It’s kind of a come-and-go event for our students and families.”

Right now, St. Malachy teachers do incorporate STEM into their curricula, but the engineering component of building and problem-solving is “not quite up to par yet,” Simmons said.

“Through the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards), there are new science standards that Iowa has adopted and teachers are going to fully implement here in a couple school years,” she said.

“Right now, we’re training for that implementation. The standards are not just content-driven; it’s doing science, asking questions about science, the creative design of science and

how it incorporates the math, technology and building.”

In her second year as St. Malachy principal, Simmons decided this fall, shortly after learning a Catholic school in Des Moines had hosted a successful STEM night, that she wanted St. Malachy to hold one.

“It’s good for the school to come together, and the students can get exposed to a lot of things they might not be exposed to from just being in the classroom,” Scar said.

“There’s a lot of things in the community that the kids don’t know about, especially some of the stuff at SWCC. It will be good to show them what’s right here in our community.”

Simmons added: “My big thing is I want our kids thinking about what they want to be when they grow up, and if they don’t know these jobs exist as things they can do, we’re doing them a disservice. It’s really nice to provide them with opportunities to see that these jobs exist and that they are really respected careers.”
