SPORTS NJCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL

North Central 80, Southwestern 69

NO LOOKING AHEAD With Monster Match-Up On The Horizon, Pirates Take Care Of Business In Iowa The North Central Missouri College men’s basketball team will travel to Overland Park, KS tonight for their biggest game of the season to date. The Pirates, ranked 16th in last week’s NJCAA Division II national poll, are set to take on Johnson County, the number-one ranked team in the nation. With both teams ranked, it is a marquee match-up in the realm of junior college basketball. With such a match-up coming, it would have been easy for North Central to overlook Southwestern Community College on Saturday, when the Pirates traveled to Creston, IA. But the Pirates did not. Instead, North Central stayed focused on the task at hand and dispatched the Spartans on their home floor, 80-69. The game was anything but a walkover for the Pirates as Southwestern put up the fight of a team better than their 4-6 record would indicate. North Central had its hands full early

on and the game was certainly up for grabs at the break, with North Central leading 36-26. The Spartans kept themselves in the game in the second half, but began dropping players to fouls late in the contest. Southwestern, which only had six players available for the game, finished the contest with just three on the court as the Pirates played keep away, running out the clock for the 11-point victory. “It wasn’t our prettiest win of the year, but our guys buckled down and got stops in the second half when we really needed them,� Pirates’ coach Jeremy Esry said. “I thought we started off sluggish and didn’t value the basketball as much as we should, but we did what we had to do to win. We locked in and were focused on Southwestern, which shows some signs of maturity and leadership. “Now we turn our attention to finals week and the number-one team in the nation, which I know our guys are really looking forward to.� Individual statistics were unavailable for the Pirates, who improved to 11-1 overall on the season with the victory. Tonight’s battle of ranked squads is scheduled to tip off at 7:30.

SPORTS NCAA FOOTBALL

ODOM OUT: Mizzou Fires Coach KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri fired football coach Barry Odom on Saturday, ending the four-year stay of a respected former player who took over a program in disarray but could never get the Tigers over the hump in the brutal SEC. The Tigers finished 6-6 and 3-5 in the conference after beating Arkansas on Friday. That left Odom with a 25-25 record, a perfectly middling mark after Gary Pinkel’s successful run. Athletic director Jim Sterk called the dismissal a “difficult� but “necessary� move. “He and his staff have worked diligently during the past four years,� Sterk said in a statement. “Coach Odom has represented our program with integrity and dedicated himself to developing our student-athletes on and off the football field for which we are grateful.� Sterk was expected to speak later in the day at Mizzou Arena. The Tigers were projected to contend for the top of the SEC East this season with the return of several key players and the arrival of high-profile Clemson transfer Kelly Bryant at quarterback. But the season began with a bumbling loss to Wyoming and never really got on track, and the Tigers were forced to beat Arkansas just to become bowl-eligible. Not that winning six games mattered. This past week, the school lost its appeal of NCAA penalties stemming from an incident involving a rogue tutor. That decision left in place postseason bans, recruiting and scholarship restrictions levied against the football, baseball and softball programs. “As a program, we had tremendous momentum com-

ing into the 2019 season with the opening of the new south end zone facility as well as other strategic investments in our football program,� Sterk said. “However, we lost a great deal of that energy during the last half of the season.� It remains to be seen what candidates Missouri can given its significant disadvantages. Along with the current NCAA sanctions, Odom was one of the lowest-paid coaches in the SEC. The school also resides outside the league’s natural footprint, and will forever battle SEC East behemoths Georgia and Florida — along with the powers in the SEC West, such and Alabama and Auburn — for both recruits and wins. Near the top of the list could be Josh Heupel, who coached at Oklahoma and Missouri before taking over at Central Florida. Memphis coach Mike Norvell, Boise State’s Bryan Harsin and Louisville coach Billy Napier are up-and-coming options, while Greg Schiano is still available after a deal fell through to return to Rutgers. Odom was hired in December 2015 when Pinkel retired because of health reasons, and it seemed a natural fit. Odom had played for the Tigers in the late 1990s, coached prep football in Missouri and began his college career as a student assistant for Pinkel during the 2003 season. Odom then spent several years in football operations before returning to the sideline. He coached the Tigers’ safeties and then joined Justin Fuentes’ staff at Memphis as the defensive coordinator. He came back to Missouri as Pinkel’s defensive coordinator during the 2015 season. That year race-related protests erupted across the Missouri campus.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The movement primarily was led by a student group, but football players later announced they would not practice or play until school president Timothy Wolfe resigned — a move that could have cost the school $1 million in forfeited game fines. Wolfe ultimately announced his resignation, and the football team returned to the field to finish Pinkel’s final season. Odom stepped into that stillvolatile situation in December, at 38 becoming the secondyoungest coach in school history. He provided a calming influence that extended across the campus, and set about rebuilding a program that had started to slip. The Tigers won four games his first season but improved by three wins in the next, earning a trip to the Texas Bowl. The Tigers went 8-5 last season with a loss in the Liberty Bow, but had shown enough progress to earn Odom an extension in December 2018. Missouri brought in several high-profile transfers this season, including Bryant and Arkansas wide receiver Jonathan Nance. But after the Tigers were picked third behind Georgia and Florida in the SEC East, they absorbed a stunning 37-31 loss to the Cowboys to open the season. The Tigers rebounded to win five straight games, beating South Carolina and Ole Miss to start 2-0 in conference play. But their offense unspooled in a stunning streak of futility: They lost 21-14 at Vanderbilt, 29-7 at Kentucky, 27-0 at Georgia and 23-6 to Florida. Their loss to lowly Tennessee ran the Tigers’ losing streak to five straight, and not even a season-ending 24-14 victory over border-rival Arkansas was enough to save Odom’s job.

Kansas City 40, Oakland 9

CHIEFS’ ROUT: KC Rolls To Win KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes looked up at the scoreboard late in the third quarter and was stunned to see the Kansas City Chiefs had taken a 31-0 lead over the AFC West rival Oakland Raiders. “I felt like we’d only scored a couple of times,� he said. That’s because the Chiefs’ high-powered offense didn’t need to do a whole lot Sunday. Their defense and the inept Raiders took care of the rest. Mahomes did throw for a touchdown and run for a touchdown, but it was Juan Thornhill’s pick-6 and a long list of blunders by Derek Carr and Co. that really made the difference. They allowed Kansas City to cruise to a 40-9 victory and into a two-game lead over the Raiders in the division race. “That’s what we expected all season long, and you’ve seen it week by week the defense getting better,� Mahomes said, “and the offense just played in the flow of the game. We’ve been in every type of game so far and we’ve been finding ways to win them.� LeSean McCoy and Darwin Thompson also had TD runs for the Chiefs (8-4), who can clinch a fourth straight division title with a win over New England and an Oakland loss to Tennessee next weekend. Oakland (6-6) sure didn’t play like a team fighting for a piece of the division lead. Carr dropped to 0-6 at Arrowhead Stadium with , throwing for 222 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. The Raiders failed to score twice in the red zone, were penalized 12 times for 99 yards, and watched Kansas

1. Object of the game is to amass as many of the 136 weekly points as you can.

City put together a 9½-minute drive almost entirely on the ground that soaked up most of the fourth quarter. When the Raiders finally scored a touchdown in the last minute, the Chiefs blocked the extra point and — one more insult to Oakland in a game full of them. It was the Raiders’ seventh straight loss in Kansas City, and the continuation of a major late-season spiral. The blowout came on the heels of a 34-3 loss to the Jets last weekend. Josh Jacobs was Oakland’s lone bright spot, running for 104 yards on 17 carries. “We put ourselves in horrible situations,â€? Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. “We had turnovers in the kicking game, I think four (offside), a pick-6 and we just never found our rhythm at all.â€? Meanwhile, the Chiefs were not penalized once in a game for the first time since Dec. 8, 1974. “Do that and be productive in the red zone,â€? Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “good things happen.â€? Both teams struggled to move the ball at times with frosty winds whipping at 40 mph out of the west. Flurries even fell during halftime, adding to the misery for fans huddled in the stands. As if those dressed in silver and black weren’t depressed enough. In the first half alone, . The Raiders lost a fumble on a kick return; failed to convert on fourth-and-1; committed seven penalties; and watched Daniel Carlson yank a 44-yard fieldgoal attempt about 20 yards wide left. The Chiefs took advantage

of all the squandered opportunities. Mahomes, who perhaps more than anyone benefited from a week off, capped a 47yard drive in the first quarter with a short TD pass to Darrel Williams. Then, late in the first half, the reigning MVP scrambled to his left and for another touchdown. The Chiefs put the game out of reach in the third quarter. First, they moved swiftly downfield on the opening possession before Harrison Butker drilled a 50-yard field goal into the wind. Then, on their next possession, Mahomes threw a when replay showed wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was held on the play. The penalty gave Kansas City the ball back and . Oakland finally ended the Chiefs’ streak of 59 straight points against them when Carlson hit a chip-shot field goal in the fourth quarter. The streak dated to their Week 2 matchup and was a record for a 122game series that traces its roots to the earliest days of the AFL. It also ended the Raiders’ streak of 15 drives against Kansas City without a point. “Every team that makes the playoffs, it's about what their defense can do. I think this week we were able to refocus,� Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu said. “Our coaches did a good job of challenging us. Coming off the bye week, we knew what we needed to work on. I'm just proud of our guys. We haven't played well at home. This type of performance against a division team is pretty good." Ried Improved to 25-3 against the AFC West going back to 2015 with the win.

Teen Injured In Shooting A teenager is recovering from a gunshot wound after an accidental shooting at a residence at Leisure Lake. The Grundy County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating the shooting, which occurred Saturday, Nov. 30. According to the sheriff’s office, a person in the house was handling a 9 mm handgun when it accidentally discharged. The bullet traveled through the living room wall and into a bedroom, where it struck a 13-year-old male in the upper torso as he was lying in bed. The teen was transported by private vehicle to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton and then taken by ground ambulance to Children’s Mercy Hospital, where he underwent surgery to remove the bullet from his abdomen. The juvenile was released from the hospital.

Firefighters remained on the scene until utility workers from Trenton Municipal Utilities arrived.

SCHOOL UPDATE Thanksgiving break has provided us with time to spend with family and give thanks. My hope is that all of you had this opportunity to enjoy this holiday as I did visiting with family and being so thankful for all the gifts we have. As we enter the winter season, it creates special challenges for our school children. We try very hard to keep this in mind when dealing with adverse weather conditions during the school season. Please refer to the school webpage to find how we will disperse information regarding any school closures and/or late starts or early outs. In regards to these decisions, we utilize the best information we have at the time to determine when we have school. You can find this information under the news section at www.trentonr9.k12.mo.us . http://www.trentonr9.k12.mo. us/article/153612?org=schooldistrict Also, please register for the BULLDOG ALERT found on our school website. With this alert you will get the most current information available for our district. Construction Project. Mr. Ockenfels has done a fantastic job placing photos on the website periodically of the construction of the new Performing Arts Center and the concessions upgrade at C.F. Russell Stadium. Please continue to watch the website for additional photos of

the construction. The precast walls of the PAC are scheduled to be poured beginning in late December and could be constructed in late January providing the weather cooperates with us. The walls of the concession stand could begin yet this month providing the weather stays warm enough to lay them. All in all, I am pleased to let you know that the projects are on schedule at this time. Activities. The winter months are full of activities for our students. A great place to find the most current list of activities is our school website. Please take the time to attend those activities that you can in order to support our students and see the rewards from all the preparation they put in prior to the events. Holiday season. I started this article talking about a holiday and will end it with one also. Because of Thanksgiving being so late this year we have only three short weeks until our next break. This will be a very hectic time for our educational system as we prepare our students for the end of the first semester at the same time all our winter activities blast off. I want to mention how fortunate we are to have such dedicated teaching staff to pull this off, and I know they will with the fidelity in which they always teach. In closing, I want to wish each and every one of you a very safe, joyous and rewarding holiday season.

ACROSS MISSOURI

NME Program To Run Out Of Funding This Month JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When Bob Rule fell off a third-floor balcony a month after he turned 21, he knew as soon as he hit the ground something bad had happened. In fact, two of his lower vertebrae had broken, leaving him a quadriplegic with the use of his arms, but not his hands and legs, reports The Kansas Star. Instead of being confined to his bed, however, Rule, 51, went on to live a life most could relate to: He drives a modified van from his home in Parkville to a Kansas City door company, where he works as a project manager. A home care attendant helps him for about two hours in the morning. Rule plays with and feeds his beloved 12-year-old miniature Schnauzer Elli by himself. Now the life he has made for himself is at risk, because the state program that pays for his home attendant will run out of money this month. The funding allows non-Medicaid eligible Missourians with severe disabilities to get the basic care they need to remain independent of a much more expensive nursing home. He is scared for his future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like for people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get on this program,â&#x20AC;? Rule said, sitting in his wheelchair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are destined for a life of nothingness, really.â&#x20AC;? The NME (non-Medicaid eligible) program was set to expire in June. Lawmakers voted to renew it through 2025, adding a required monthly premium. But legislation to do so only gained traction in the final week of the session, after House members slipped it into a Senate bill along with other healthcare-related measures. By that time, however, the state budget was already approved. Ruleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disability service provider, The Whole Person of Kansas City, which supplies the state-funded home attendant, was told by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) that the little money set aside to settle invoices runs out this month.

ONLY 25 RECIPIENTS LEFT Since the state will no longer reimburse claims, providers are now scrambling for ways to care for their clients while waiting for lawmakers to decide whether to fund the program again. DHSS requested in October for a supplemental appropriation of about $505,000, which legislators will consider in the session that begins in January. However, any legislative action next year will still mean a potential lapse in care. For a person with a severe disability, that can mean languishing in bed, losing a job, or even dying alone at home. The program, which started in the 1980s, stopped accepting new participants after 2005. Most recipients have been moved into a nursing home, become eligible for the same services through Medicaid, or have died. That has left Rule among the remaining 25 recipients, scattered across the state. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eligible for Medicaid because their assets exceed $250,000, which may include retirement savings, a paid off home or a handicap-accessible vehicle. State budgeters allowed the program to be defunded this year because they thought lawmakers wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass the necessary legislation to renew the program in time, according to state Rep. Cody Smith, RCarthage, who heads the Missouri House Budget Committee. Now that it is renewed, the odds of a supplemental appropriation, as well as the funding for another budget year, are much better, Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I anticipate that the conditions are favorable,â&#x20AC;? he said. Since Rule is its sole client using the program, The Whole Person plans to cover his services with the hopes that it will get paid back if and when lawmakers approve a supplemental appropriation, its CEO Julie DeJean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, we are not going to let Robert down,â&#x20AC;? DeJean said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with us a long time and I think we can work through this.â&#x20AC;? Rule says he receives about $1,000 a

month to supplement what he pays out of pocket for his home health assistance. State officials said they will try to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Department is currently in the process of working with NME (non-Medicaid eligible) providers and eligible participants to attempt to coordinate continued services through either the NME program or alternative programs,â&#x20AC;? Lisa Cox, DHSS spokesperson, said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A SAFETY ISSUEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; However, other disability service providers are not so optimistic. Paraquad, based in St. Louis, serves five NME clients. With its razor-thin margins, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to assume the cost of care, which would amount to thousands of dollars, according to Kim Lackey, Paraquad senior director of public policy and independent living. Their clients donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have many options for home help, either. Private insurance often doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover home help, Lackey said. The state, through Medicaid and this program, are â&#x20AC;&#x153;the only game in town,â&#x20AC;? Lackey said. Possibilities to maintain service include fundraising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as specific development/fundraising activities, we are exploring all options to try to protect funding now, but we will likely be seeking funding support in the near future,â&#x20AC;? Lackey wrote in an email. One of Paraquadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients out of luck is Lisa Petty. Petty, 56, has had cerebral palsy her whole life, and now has two blood disorders--one that keeps her platelets from clotting and another that pre-

vents her blood from absorbing iron, leaving her perpetually anemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all of this combination, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not physically not able to provide all my personal care needs like dressing and toileting,â&#x20AC;? said Petty, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify for Medicaid because of her retirement fund. Her home attendant also does housekeeping and meal preparation, and goes shopping with her. As a wheelchair user, Petty canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reach items on higher shelves or hold her own bags. On Saturday and Sunday, she tries to make it on her own. But she has already re-injured a foot she had surgery on after falling while trying to use the toilet by herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the house by myself, the doctors are concerned because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safety issue,â&#x20AC;? she said. Petty works 10-hour shifts Monday through Thursday for a large private insurer, where she gets the health insurance and the income to pay off medical bills. On Friday, she spends 8 hours getting blood infusions. She expects her health will only continue to deteriorate, making her working days numbered. Her only living relative close by is her 81-year-old mother, who has a heart condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She can only do so much,â&#x20AC;? Petty said. Once she passes, Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is to use the retirement fund to move to Florida, where other relatives can help care for her. She said Missouriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;current political climateâ&#x20AC;? makes the alternative--spending down her savings and relying on Medicaid as a safety net-- risky.

DRIVE FOR MEDICAID EXPANSION Missouri is one of the most restrictive states when it comes to Medicaid eligibility. This year, the state cut funding that would go toward new Medicaid patients, which has created a waitlist for those with severe developmental disabilities who need around-the-clock care to maintain independence, according to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the 14 states that have chosen not to expand Medicaid eligibility, even though 90 percent of the cost would be paid by the federal government. A drive to place expansion on the 2020 ballot, extending it to those who make up to $18,000 a year, has attracted support from the healthcare industry and collected more than a quarter of the required signatures. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee Missouri voters will pass the measure. Plus, if the state were to decide a person with disabilities is no longer eligible for benefits, winning them back has become nearly impossible, Legal Aid of Western Missouri has found. The win rate for appealing disability cases has diminished from 54 percent in 2017 to less than 20 percent as of April this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I get rid of the cushion I have, what happens? If I take care of my needs right now, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a cushion to keep somebody paid,â&#x20AC;? Petty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that money is gone, then what?â&#x20AC;? Petty said she plans on asking her home care attendant if she will take a temporary pay cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept that offer, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

going to do,â&#x20AC;? Petty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking it one day at a time.â&#x20AC;? Although the top concern for NME participants is to get through the next year, the specter of 2025, when the program is set to expire, hangs over Rule. Currently, Ruleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement savings keep him ineligible for Medicaid. Would he move into his sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, which is not as accessible as his current one? Would he be relegated to life in a nursing home? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I become a ward of the state?â&#x20AC;? Rule said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then how much would that cost them?â&#x20AC;? He cut back on his home care attendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tasks after the state reduced the amount each participant receives two years ago. Now, an attendant visits just to help him in and out of bed every morning. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;bath and bowelâ&#x20AC;? routine has been limited to three times a week. His sister makes a monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of meals, which he keeps frozen, so he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go shopping or try to cook. Still, the program allows him to stay in his house, where his cups and plates are stored in the bottom cabinets within reach. He gets to watch baseball and hockey, rooting for the Calgary Flames because they are affiliated with the Kansas City Mavericks. His kite-flying supplies remain stored in his garage for when he decides to take up his favorite hobby again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m appreciative of what The Whole Person has done for 30 years,â&#x20AC;?he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the thought of it all going away really scares me.â&#x20AC;?

Dear Annie: One of my cousins lives about two hours away. Her parents are deceased, and she is estranged from her siblings. She has been in the hospital several times for mental health care. I believe she is bipolar but don't know that for sure. Because she lives alone now, we invite her to family gatherings for the holidays. About once a month, I will receive a burst of text messages from her, sometimes 20 or more at a time, telling me about something that is going on in her life. Recently, in one of those bursts, she said she wants to move and might like to rent a room from a relative. I reminded her that she has a comfortable home in a place where she already knows people and that it can be hard to establish a new network of friends and support in a new place. She said she knows all of that but wants to move anyway. I am worried that she is hinting that she would like to move in with my spouse and me. We have a large, comfort-

able home with spare bedrooms now that our children are on their own. But we enjoy our home as it is and don't want anyone else living here with us. I know that is selfish, but I just don't see how it could work to have my cousin live with us. If she asks directly if she can move in, I plan to tell her no. Am I wrong? -- Caring Cousin Dear Caring Cousin: There is nothing wrong with enjoying a quiet home with you and your husband. You are very kind to invite your cousin over for the holidays and family gatherings. Setting boundaries with family members is the right thing to do. It is your house, and you have a right to keep it as is. It sounds like she might be experiencing a manic episode. Sometimes during a manic episode, people can experience risk-taking behaviors, hyperactivity or impulsive decisions. Check-in with her and ask her how she is feeling, how life is going and if she is getting treatment for her mental health. Really listen, too. It has 28,200

Lowe’s earlier this month reported yet another solid quarter of sales growth as it rebuilds itself under CEO Marvin Ellison. The nation’s second-largest home improvement retailer has posted surprisingly good sales growth this year while larger rival Home Depot has been cutting sales forecasts. It’s a noticeable turnaround for Lowe’s after years of disappointing results that highlighted its position as runner-up in the sector.

He also focused on getting more shoppers into stores by improving customer service and making sure the right items are in stock. “Neither of these things is revolutionary but they are essential housekeeping points that were neglected until Marvin Ellison and his team remedied them,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail.

Be kind and loving to her while protecting your personal space. Everyone will be better off for it in the long run. Dear Annie: "Daughter of a Narcissist," please write a book!

I am going to repeat the "phrases" until they are etched in my mind. -- Wife of a Narcissist Dear Wife of a Narcissist: I am printing your letter in hopes that "Daughter of a Narcissist" sees it and takes you up on your suggestion. Knowing that there are other people out there who understand exactly what it is like to live with a narcissist could be comforting for others.
