Wright Memorial to host Living Nativity The Wright Memorial Hospital Spiritual Wellness Team will be hosting an event featuring a live nativity scene on Tuesday, December 12 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. The event will begin on the hospital’s walking trail, and will end inside the hospital’s Education Center.   The live display will feature five simple scenes that illustrate the story of Christmas. Each scene will have live role paying with two scenes featuring live animals. The five scenes will be spaced out along the walking trail, so some walking will be necessary. Christmas carolers will be also be spaced along the trail. The entire walk around the trail should take between 15-20 minutes to complete.   “The Spiritual Wellness Team here at Wright Memorial really wanted to do something that honors Christ and demonstrates our organization’s faith-based heritage. Our faith is centered on Jesus, and this live Nativity is a fun and purposeful way to illustrate that,” said Corey Wallace, Manager of Hospitality Services. “Part of Saint Luke’s mission is to enhance the spiritual health of the communities we serve. We hope that our community and employees will come out and have a great time experiencing the story of the first Christmas.”   As attendees finish the live nativity route around the walking trail, they will be welcome to warm up, visit, and enjoy refreshments in the hospital’s Education Room.   Parking for the event will be in the east parking lot and, if needed, the south parking lot. Signage will be posted, and parking attendants will help guide the traffic. Wright Memorial Hospital is located at 191 Iowa Blvd, in Trenton. For questions, or for information on how to help with the event, please call Corey Wallace at 660-358-5963.

4 Second Edition 2011 LifeFlight Eagle

Scott Rasa knows all too well about traumatic injuries, and is fanatical about safety

on his farm and in all his busi-nesses.

The Lafayette County, Mo., farmer’s cousin and great-grand-father were both killed in tractor accidents, but it is one a little clos-er to home that sticks in his mind the most and proves that even careful people have accidents.

In 2005 while driving a skid-steer loader, Rasa accidently backed over his father’s foot, caus-ing severe injuries that almost cost his foot. However, LifeFlight Eagle f lew Rasa’s father to a Kan-sas City trauma center, where through a series of operations,

surgeons were able to repair and save his foot.

Rasa recognized the value of having such an important public-safety organization near his fam-ily and his community. In 2010, he partnered with LifeFlight Eagle to build a new base on his farm-land just east of Odessa, near In-terstate 70 and the intersection of Highways M and O.

Rasa built a state-of-the-art climate-controlled hangar facility that now houses one of LifeFlight Eagle’s Bell 407 helicopters and its round-the-clock f light team, which consists of a pilot, f light nurse and f light paramedic.

The new Lafayette County base has been operating for 17 months

now. Combined with its other three bases (Trenton, Harrison-ville and Clinton, Mo.), LifeFlight Eagle serves communities sur-rounding Kansas City.

In its February edition, The Progressive Farmer magazine named Rasa, age 39, one of Amer-

ica’s five “Best Young Farmers & Ranchers.”

LifeFlight Eagle wrote a let-ter of recommendation for Rasa’s nomination, citing his partner-ship with LifeFlight Eagle as just one example of Rasa’s community-first attitude.

To promote responsible driving and good decision making, LifeFlight Eagle partnered with the Riverside Police and Fire Department and others to stage a mock DWI crash and response simulation at Park Hill High School on Tuesday, April 10, — the week before the school’s prom. With the help of Riverside Fire personnel, LifeFlight Eagle Flight Nurse Val Hammergren and Flight Paramedic Gillian Pederson loaded “victim” Amy O’Guin, an administrative assistant at PHS, into the helicopter while pilot Tim Schlupp waited to lift. As part of its ongoing community education initiatives, LifeFlight Eagle participates in numerous educational mock scenes each year in the communities it serves.

TRENTON, MISSOURI DECEMBER 2017

Holiday Hoops What is quickly becoming a holiday tradition in North Missouri is the annual High School Holiday Hoops. Tipping off in just a few days is the 13th annual event sponsored by the North Central Missouri College Foundation and directed by a steering committee of 15 individuals. The 2017 edition of Holiday Hoops will this year feature the most teams in hoops history with 110 teams representing 62 high schools across Missouri and Iowa.

It is expected that nearly 2,000 high school student/athletes will converge on the campus of North Central Missouri College with games scheduled to begin on December 18th and conclude on December 30th. This number of young people, all prospective students, does not include cheerleaders, pep bands, student managers and special entertainment from many of the participating high schools…not to mention family members, coaches and fans.

Now labeled as the largest high school holiday basketball shoot-out in the entire state, Holiday Hoops will also bring together over 250 volunteers from across the region. What does all of this mean for Trenton…..hundreds of visitors looking for places to eat, purchase fuel, seek lodging and patronize local stores in addition to watching some of the finest high school athletes in action on the court of the Ketcham Community Center. Many folks will be in Trenton for the first time ever and officials of Holiday Hoops are encouraging the community to “deck the halls” with outdoor greetings and welcoming signs to Trenton creating a positive and pleasant environment.

Persons wanting to volunteer or get involved are asked to contact Hoops Director Steve Maxey at 660-359-7244 or sending an email to maxeysteve@gmail.com. Holiday Hoops promises to be a tremendous experience for the participating students and their families, the local retail community and area residents to come together and enjoy the season. Let’s continue to support this outstanding holiday tradition right here in our hometown.
