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.

Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP)The Trenton Downtown Improvement Association (TDIA) is selling tax credits through the Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP). NAP tax credits allow donors who contribute to qualified non-profit organizations in Missouri to receive 70% of their contribution back as a state tax credit. These credits can be used for up to six (6) tax periods, including the current year.
Who can use NAP credits? The answer is Corporations, insurance companies, express companies, banks & other financial institutions, partnerships, limited liability companies, and individuals who operate a sole proprietorship in MO, operate a farm in MO, have rental property in MO or have royalty income in MO.
How it works:
1. Make a contribution of $1,000 or more to Trenton Downtown Improvement Association.
2. Fill out the NAP credit claim form and return it to TDIA (via the Chamber of Commerce).
3. Submit a copy of the front & back of the cancelled check, after it has been processed through your bank, to TDIA.
4. Allow 3 to 4 weeks for Dept. of Economic Development to process your application and send your tax credit certificate.
For more information, you may contact the Chamber of Commerce at 660-359-4324.
Shop LocalAs we enter a new year, let’s consider keeping more of our money locally here in Trenton. If you think about it, most things we need we can get here in Trenton. Some of the same items we purchase in other towns end up costing the same amount of money once you drive to and from another location and spend the “saved” money in gas or diesel.
Also, consider that our local businesses are the ones who support and help sponsor our local sports teams, schools, activities and other events. Shouldn’t we support them as well?
We, as the Trenton Area Chamber of Commerce, promote our members as well as our community. We strive to be a positive voice in the community for our local businesses as well as in the state for our community as a whole. Won’t you join us in supporting our community and local businesses?
