Liberal High School students present Freeman newborn infants with handcrafted costumes

(From Freeman Health)

More than a half-dozen newborn infants inside the Freeman Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on the west campus sported handcrafted Halloween costumes courtesy of Hannah Shaw’s Liberal High School 3-D art class.

The 16 donated costumes, eight each for girls and boys, ranged from the traditional – Disney’s Mickey and Minnie Mouse – to the trendy, a replica of the National Hockey League’s Stanley Cup trophy. Other cute costumes included a blue crayon, a rocket ship, a ‘60s hippy and a boxer.

The class – consisting of students Cooper Trout, Haylee Goodwin, Crista Perry, Kylee Melton and Katelyn W, along with contributions made by Shaw and substitute teacher Dana Meadows – have been working on the costumes since early October. It’s the third year Shaw’s students have brainstormed, crafted and donated Halloween costumes for Freeman Health System’s youngest patients.

“We have had several staff members’ children in the NICU, and I was a NICU baby myself,” Shaw said. “When I asked my students three years ago if they were interested it was a resounding yes. Our school is very supportive of community-driven projects.”

The students’ Halloween costume creations ranged from fads to pop culture. Supplies used to craft the costumes were donated by Liberal resident Doris Fast.

“I feel as a teacher it’s my job to teach them art, but not every student that comes through my classroom is going to end up using those skills,” Shaw said. “If I can throw in some projects that teach them the value of giving back, those are the things they are going to remember when they leave me. If they leave school as good people with good hearts – that’s my goal.”

Freeman employees tour new mass casualty/communication trailer

(From Freeman Health)

Freeman Health System employees toured one of the new Mass Casualty/Communications trailers Thursday morning that serve as a key community asset – should the unthinkable occur.

Parked outside the Freeman Emergency Department, the trailer is equipped to provide rapid emergency aid and uninterrupted communications during a local or regional disaster like a tornado strike or mass shooting.

 

“We hope we never have to use them,” said Skip Harper, Freeman Health and Safety Officer, “but they’re here if needed.”

The system owns and operates two trailers; one based at Freeman Hospital West and the other at Freeman Neosho Hospital.

“No other hospital in the state of Missouri has two trailers like these,” Harper said. “We just want folks to know that if a disaster happens in Pittsburg, Kan., or in McDonald County or Lamar, that they are available and ready to help.”

 

Each trailer is equipped with state-of-the-art 5G cellular data systems, wireless internet, satellite- and radio-communications systems, preventing a repeat of the “communication bubble” that descended across Joplin immediately following the May 22, 2011 tornado strike.

In addition, each trailer holds large quantities of life-saving equipment and medical supplies that can significantly boost support to EMS units responding to a mass casualty disaster in the field. Each trailer can triage or stabilize up to 200 trauma victims.

Crowder Quill accepting literature, photography, art entries

(From Crowder College)

The Crowder Quill art and literary magazine of Crowder College is now accepting entries for its annual contest in literature, photography and art.

The free competition accepts entries in eight different categories: poetry, fiction, nonfiction, B&W photography, color photography, digital art, 2D art, and 3D art.

 

“With the rise of artificial intelligence in society, we welcome the creative expression of human-generated art and original thought,” stated Latonia Bailey, Quill Adviser. “Of course, digital technology may be used as a tool as the Quill is primarily a digital contest.”

All entries should be sent as digital files and uploaded online at www.CrowderQuill.com. Exceptions may be made for the categories of 2D art (paintings, drawings and hand-made prints) and 3D art (pottery, ceramic, and sculptures), which may be mailed or hand delivered but preferably scanned or photographed to be entered digitally.

Individuals may submit up to four entries in each category by the Feb. 1 deadline. Specific guidelines for each category and more information may be obtained from the website.

Crowder students as well as area high school students and community members compete for awards and publication. High school students may also win a $500 scholarship for top placement in each category.

Email Quill@Crowder.edu to make arrangements for hand-delivered art entries or if internet access is an issue. Winning entrants will be notified by mid-March. The magazine will be published in May.

The Quill has been published since 1980 with the mission of encouraging and showcasing local authors, artists, and photographers. It is distributed free on campus and in the community as well as digitally.

The Crowder Quill class is part of the Digital Media Marketing certificate at Crowder College in which students gain skills in content creation, marketing strategies, social media, graphic design, and communication.

For more information about the contest or college course DIGM 103 Applied Graphic Design and Media Campaigns, contact Latonia Bailey: LatoniaBailey@crowder.edu.
