The Trenton Downtown Improvement Association and Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce are proud to,
once again, sponsor the annual Downtown Christmas event. This year’s event will take place Friday,
December 5th beginning at 4:30pm with a Soup
Supper provided by North Grand River Baptist Association. The supper will continue until 7:00pm.
The annual lighting of the Mayor’s Christmas Tree will take place at 5:30pm at Sesquicentennial Park.
There will be light entertainment during the lighting
of the tree. One lucky child will get to help Mayor Nick McHargue light the tree, as in years past.
Several downtown businesses will be open from 5:00 to 7:00 pm for those who wish to do a little later
shopping.
Beginning at 5:30, several activities are taking place. They include, but are not limited to: kettle corn near
Five Points flag provided by Cooksey’s, cookie walk in the old Smith’s clothing store provided by Hodge
Presbyterian Church, live shelf elf and live music in
The Barn and horse-drawn carriage rides provided by David Kurtz.
At 5:45pm Santa will be coming through the downtown area in a fire truck with his destination
being the Museum to greet children and have photos taken. Photos will be taken by Bailey’s Studio. Other
activities in the museum include Christmas train
display, coloring activities and Christmas stories read by First Christian Church.
L&P Dance students will be performing inside the Weldon building at 5:45. Viewers will be able to watch
just outside the large front windows.
Come out and enjoy some fun in our own downtown Trenton!

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.
