Our town has a lot to offer newcomers

Welcome to Maryville, and welcome to Our Town! In the following pages, you will find all you need to know about the community we call home — Maryville, Our Town. The community bond will be obvious from the day you move in. The community blends perfectly with Northwest Missouri State University, making a great atmosphere for a thriving city. Moving to a new town can sometimes be difficult, but the staff at the Maryville Daily Forum strives every year to give new residents and students alike a detailed insight into what’s available, and happening, around Our Town. You can find information on city and county government, including utilities and other public works. There is also information on local law enforcement, SSM Health St. Francis Hospital, airports, the Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce and more!

City government leads the way for Maryville The City of Maryville, headquartered at the Maryville City Hall, 415 N. Market St., operates under a council-city manager form of government. A five-member city council presides over the city government and meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month in the City Hall Council Chambers. Under Maryville’s form of government, the council members are elected to three-year terms on a rotating basis. The council then selects a mayor, who presides over meetings. Renee Riedel is currently serving her second term as mayor. Other members of the council are Tim Shipley, who serves mayor pro-tem, Jerry Riggs, Rachael Martin, and Jason McDowell. State law stipulates that the majority of city business requiring council approval must be presented to the council during open public meetings. City Manager Greg McDanel is responsible for managing the day-to-day

operations of the city. In that capacity, he is responsible for the enforcement of all policies, laws, and ordinances; coordination of all municipal programs and services; makes recommendations to the mayor and city council as appropriate concerning the operation, affairs and future needs of the city; participates in city council meetings without voting, and keeps the council members advised on the operation, finances and needs of the city. The city manager is appointed by the city council and serves at its pleasure. Ryan Heiland is the assistant city manager. The annual Maryville budget for the 2015 fiscal year totals more than $25 million as the city supports many projects and services through its various departments. Major services provided by the city include water and sewer treatment and distribution, street maintenance and

Maryville’s square is hub of county government

The hub of government in Nodaway County is centered in the county’s new Nodaway County Administrative Center, located diagonally northeast, across the intersection of Market and Fourth streets, from the Nodaway County Courthouse on Maryville’s Downtown Square. The sparkling three-story building is the center of the county business and will increase in that role as time moves along. There is space designed into the floor plans not only for today’s needs, but for the future as well. The county is administered through the actions of the three Nodaway County Commissioners, who meet regularly in their office on the first floor of the Administrative Center to conduct the county’s business dealing with budget and other finance matters, road and bridge projects and the general business of the county. The commissioners’ office is situated in the southeast corner of the complex. Primary access to the county officers’

The commissioners’ telephone number is 660-5825541. The Nodaway County Clerk’s office is located on the south side of the main floor. As the county’s principal budget office, the clerk pays for all invoices, handles payroll and is responsible for preparing the county tax statements.

Maryville area served by two airports Built following World War II, Maryville’s Northwest Missouri Regional Airport, 25775 Hawk Rd., is situated on 175 acres located just north of Missouri Highway 46, west of Maryville. The airport now provides a newly extended runway that is 4,600 feet long. Private hangar space is available. The City of Maryville received grant funds to extend the runway to accommodate larger planes. Runway lighting upgrades have also been recently completed. Grant funding was also utilized to construct a new terminal building at the airport. The new facility features meeting rooms and a pilot’s lounge. It was completed and opened in 2008. A shelter house and grass resting area are also on the airport property. The airport can provide aviation fuel and oil sales, maintenance and major repairs to planes. Kevin Rankin is the fixed base operator at the airport, which is open from 8

a.m. to 7 p.m. in the summer. Hours may vary during the winter months. The base operator station’s telephone number is 660-582-2233.

Facilities at Rankin Airport include an office, a shop/hangar and four additional hangars. It has a 3,200-foot runway. Rankin Aircraft offers flight training for private, commercial, instrument and flight instructor ratings. The Rankins have been in the airport business for 38 years and have a substantial amount of aircraft experience.

Mozingo Lake golf, fishing a great asset to area

Top quality outdoor recreation is only minutes away from Maryville at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. Mozingo Lake, located five miles east from downtown Maryville, is a 1,006acre lake with 26 total miles of shoreline creating numerous inlets and coves conducive to freshwater fishing. The comparatively small lake located in the center of the Mozingo area is ranked No. 79 among the top bass fisheries in Bassmaster Magazine’s 2014 list of the most productive sport-fishing lakes in the United States. The popular park is also home to the 18-hole, par-72 championship Sechrest 18 Golf Course at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. It will be complEmented later this fall, or early next season, by the spectacular new Watson 9 junior golf/executive course. Designated as one of the top 50 courses in Missouri, according to a Kansas City Star golf publication, and as the best

course in Missouri playable for less than $50 by Golf Digest, the Sechrest 18 offers an incredible golfing experience, one totally unexpected in a community the size of Maryville. And that experience is slated to get even better next spring with the opening of the newly constructed nine-hole Tom Watson-designed Junior Golf Course that is now maturing. A 2,700-foot-long earthen dam that is 77 feet high and provides excellent water for boating and skiing impounds the lake, which has three boat docks — two that are handicap accessible — with a fishcleaning facility at the main ramp. Non-motorized boat fees are $5 per day, $35 for a season pass. Boats with motors are charged $8 per day, with season passes $45. Boat lengths for use on the lake are set at a 28-foot maximum for both traditional and pontoon boats. The speed limit on the water is 40 miles per hour. The 2,000-acre park surrounding the

lake features a 3.5-mile nature trail along with a 70-foot walking bridge, from which many wildlife observers have been kept busy with sightings. Many species of birds have been spotted at the park — everything from pheasant, quail and several varieties of ducks and geese to pelicans, turkey and an occasional swan or bald eagle. Birds are not the only wildlife in the park, however. Deer, rabbits, squirrels, red fox, and even bobcats — plus many species of insects, have been seen throughout the park.

95 RV sites available

There are 95 RV parking sites available in the park. Electricity is available to each concrete pad, as are laundry facilities and a shower house. Rates are $25 per night

during the peak summer season; $18 per day in the off season. The rate for any of the 20 reservable RV pads is $35 per night, $25 during nonpeak times. Located on the west side of the lake, there are also 13 reservable RV pads and stabling facilities at the trailhead of the newly developed seven-plus mile equestrian trail. Other basic support facilities are also available. Mozingo Lake Recreation Area also has seven cabins available for rent, all with unobstructed views of the lake. Any of the furnished one- and two-bedroom cabins make a great place for visiting relatives to stay, or they are the perfect weekend getaway location for Nodaway County residents.

Two-bedroom cabins sleep 10 or 12 persons and can be rented as reasonably as $107 to $176 per night, depending upon occupancy and seasonal rate schedules. The units are quite popular, however, and reservations should be made as early as possible. Primitive campsites, located in a beautiful wooded area offering lake views, are also available at Mozingo. The 37 sites are available on a first-come, firstserved basis at $10 per night per tent. Two large picnic shelters are available and other small picnic areas are scattered throughout the park. There is also a swimming beach, and sand volleyball court area. For more information, and for all reservations, call the park office at 660562-2323. Missouri residents 65 years old or older and anyone 15 years or younger do not need a fishing permit to try their hand at catching any of the many species of fish available.

Great golf available

The popular — and challenging — Sechrest 18 Course at Mozingo Lake Recreation Area is located on approximately 250 acres of lush, rolling hills along the eastern shore of

Mozingo Lake. The course features lush greens, wellkept fairways and challenging native grass rough, water and sand hazards in a setting that pays tribute to the area’s agricultural past. New concrete cart paths have been installed to make play even more accessible. In addition to a complete pro shop, a clubhouse snack bar is available. Group outings and tournaments are easily accommodated. The new Watson 9 Course features nine regulation greens on its 1,600-yard layout. An added feature is a large pitching and putting area specially designed for teaching and practice. The new specialty course is located adjacent to the existing No. 10 hole on the regulation course. Weekday greens fees for the Sechrest 18 are $16 for nine holes, $25 for 18 holes (all day). Weekend rates are $18 for nine holes and $28 for 18. Cart rentals are available for $10 per person for nine holes, $15 per person for 18. An added $15 per person cart charge is required when playing more than 18 holes. Punch passes and seasonal rates are available, as are reduced rates for seniors and students. For complete information or to schedule tee times, contact the Mozingo Golf Course Pro Shop at 660-562-3864 or visit www.mozingogolf.com.

Ambulance service available for all county residents Emergency and non-emergency ambulance transportation is available to residents of Nodaway County through services provided by the Nodaway County Ambulance District, headquartered at 103 Carefree Dr., in Maryville. Although the district is based in Maryville, emergency and non-emergency services are available for all of Nodaway County, and some outlying areas, a total of 885 square miles. Every ambulance is staffed with a paramedic and EMT, 24-hours-a-day. The crews work 24-hour shifts, and two units are scheduled for service at all times. On weekends, Friday through Monday, there are three crews available at all times. All EMTs have 300 to 600 hours of classroom training in basic life support

techniques and 300 to 600 hours of combined ambulance and hospital clinics. Paramedics receive an additional 1,000plus hours of training on advanced life support techniques and an additional 1,000 hours minimum of combined ambulance and hospital clinics. A supervisory board comprised of six elected citizens, each serving a threeyear term, governs the district. Current supervisors are Rick Allen of Skidmore, board chairman; Julie Crady, Maryville, vice chairman; John Redden, Maryville, secretary; Brian McPherson, Burlington Junction, treasurer, and Charlie Standiford, Ravenwood, and Scott Walk, Maryville, board members. The board’s monthly meetings, open to the public, are held at 7:30 p.m. each second Wednesday.

The district PAT van, which can help with transportation, is available to anyone for transportation to or from any type of medical appointment they might have in the county. Use is not restricted by age or physical limitations. The van can travel outside Nodaway County, but special arrangements need to be made at least 24 hours in advance and those trips are on a first- come, first-served basis. In-county fees are $15 one-way; $30 for round trip. Out-of-county fees add $1 per loaded mile to the in-county rates. The ambulance district also aids in supporting five rescue squads in the county that are manned by volunteer crews of first responders. They are stationed in Burlington Junction, covering the north and west parts of the county; Hopkins, the north and east sections; Platte Valley (Ravenwood), east part of the county; Tri-C Fire Department, and Maryville, covering any location not covered by the others. Additional trained first-responder

volunteers are also located in Clearmont and Skidmore. These first-responders attempt to stabilize the patient until the ambulance arrives to transport them to the hospital. The ambulance district responder units are equipped with automatic external defibrillators. Use of AEDs expands the range of the rescuers by adding the ability to make early defibrillation available to the patient. Some studies show that if CPR and early defibrillation are used in the first four to six minutes from the time of cardiac arrest, survival rate for the patient improves dramatically. This is important to area patients because of longer response times to some parts of the county. The ambulance district’s Web site is www.nodawaycountyambulance.org. The business office observes normal weekday office hours. The non-emergency phone number is 660-582-3311.

Ten unique parks are located in Maryville

From the shimmering waters of the Maryville Aquatic Center in Beal Park on the city’s east side to the hustle and bustle of seemingly constant softball games at Donaldson Westside Park, the Maryville Parks and Recreation operates one of the finest, most complete public recreation complexes in Missouri. Opened at a cost of $4.24 million in 2003 and improved with the addition of a $1.9 million, 900-square-foot expansion in 2009, the Maryville Community Center is a “joint use facility” that provides Maryville residents with all-season recreation facilities, including basketball courts, volleyball courts, a walking track, a newly expanded aerobics and fitness area, a complete weight-training room, and specialty fitness training facilities. Meeting rooms are also available for various community meetings and gatherings The aquatic center was the third of its kind in Missouri when it was opened in 1993 and it remains one of the best. It fea-

Northwest Missouri State University Northwest Missouri State University, a state-assisted, four-year regional university offering 140 undergraduate majors and 36 master’s programs, has been a part of the Maryville community since 1905. The institution, first named Fifth District Normal, was initiated to provide teachers for schools across northwestern Missouri. Now, with an enrollment approaching 7,000 students and more than 800 employees, Northwest has evolved into a nationally recognized educational institution offering bachelor’s, master’s, specialist and doctoral degrees as well as two-year certificate programs. Traditional classes are available on a trimester calendar and via interactive television and the Internet. Since 1987, Northwest has maintained its ongoing reputation as the Electronic Campus. Northwest provides a fully loaded and networked laptop computer to full-time (minimum of 12 hours) undergraduate and graduate students (9 hours)

and there are more than 2,400 computing stations across campus. Because of this commitment to technology, Northwest students enjoy some of the best computer resources of any college in the country. Students have free 24hour Internet and e-mail access. Via their computers, students are able to search the library, enroll in classes, check their transcripts and financial aid standing, create an employment file or find a campus job. Northwest Missouri State has earned a national reputation as a leading practitioner of continuous quality improvement through its Culture of Quality program to strengthen all aspects of undergraduate and graduate education. Northwest’s efforts to achieve total quality management resulted in the university’s winning the Missouri Quality Award in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2008. In 2003, Northwest was a finalist for the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. University President Dr. John Jasinski

is beginning the third year of his tenure as the university’s 10th president. A former member of the Northwest faculty and administration, Dr. Jasinski succeeded Dr. Dean Hubbard at the conclusion of his 25-year tenure with the school. The new president has brought significant change to the campus, not only in the makeup of his administration, but also in numerous other aspects of campus life. Northwest, a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, has a proven record on the playing fields and courts as well.

Northwest’s Bearcats captured the 2013 NCAA Division II National Football Championship, the fourth time the team has captured that championship. Previous championships concluded the 1998,1999 and 2009 seasons. Former Bearcat offensive lineman and the team’s offensive coordinator, Adam Dorrel, was promoted to Northwest’s head football coaching position following the retirement of legendary Bearcat coach Mel Tjeerdsma after the 2010 season, and the subsequent untimely dearth of newly See NWMSU, Page 34
