WELCOME TO OUR TOWN

Don’t let that ‘small town’ moniker fool you Welcome to Maryville. Something you’ll notice about our town is that Maryville is not like a lot of small towns. Sure, it has all the qualities you’d expect — like friendly faces, people who remember your name, and those who are willing to go out of their way to help in any way they can. But so many small towns are seen as regressing, falling victim to the aftermath of a depressed rural economy. Not so in Maryville. Maryville’s citizens have their feet planted firmly on a foundation built by a history of unsurpassed work ethic, yet have an eye toward what is best for future generations to come. The past several years have seen unprecedented growth, fueled by forward-thinking leaders who plan, not only for today, but with tomorrow in mind. Maryville’s landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years, and continues show the results of investments being made in the future of this region. A new Wells Bank greets customers entering the south end of town, just the first of more development to take place at Fountain Park, developed by local entrepreneur Bill Ingels. Go east of town five miles to Mozingo Lake Recreation Park

and you’ll find the gem of the ment in this small town’s future is city, and really of this region — a well placed. 3,000-acre park, highlighted by a Head west down Fourth Street 1,000-acre lake, from the downwhich serves as town square, and the city’s water as you approach supply and its Northwest Misprimary source of souri State Unirecreation. versity, you’ll see Mozingo is the results of a nationally recogpowerful partnernized for its bass ship between the fishing, and for its City of Maryville two exceptional and the university golf courses, the — a “Town and Sechrest 18 and Gown” partnerthe newly-opened ship which drew Watson 9 hybrid statewide recogcourse, designed nition in 2015 as Phil Cobb by PGA legend Missouri Main Editor & Publisher Tom Watson.

Keep driving throughout the campus and downtown areas and you will undoubtedly witness the results of concerted residential revitalization efforts. The Campus Town Redevelopment Incentive Program, which was originally designed to encourage the removal of substandard buildings and promote redevelopment near the university by waiving debris disposal fees and permit cost, has resulted in improved campus and single-family housing throughout town. In doing so, it has also broadened the tax base, replacing dilapidated structures with new more valuable and more highly assessed properties. If you’re new to town and you have school-aged children, you’ll be excited to know that the Maryville R-II public school district is investing in its future as well. A new performing arts center at the high school is the crown jewel of recent development, but a close second is a completely new cafeteria facility at Eugene Field Elementary. So, yes, Maryville is a small town, and you will enjoy all of the benefits of living in a small town, but don’t let that make you think there’s not plenty going on here. And don’t let that make you think it’s not somewhere you’d want to stay for good.

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. Jason McDowell was appointed to his first term as mayor in April 2016. Other members of the council are Rachael Martin, who was appointed mayor pro-tem, Jerry Riggs, Renee Riedel, and Tim Shipley. State law stipulates that the majority of city business requiring council approval must be presented to the council during open public meetings. Maryville’s City Council and Mayor are tasked with hiring a City Manager to manage the day-to-day operations of the city. Greg McDanel serves in that role. 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 2016 fiscal year totals more than $27.24 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 construction, code enforcement and building inspections, operation of a regional solid waste transfer station, and the municipal airport. The Maryville Department of Public Works provides supervision of these activities. C.E. Goodall is the Director of the Department of Public Works. The public

works department is located in the basement of City Hall and the phone number is 660-562-8012. PeopleService is a private operations company, which supervises both the city’s water and wastewater treatment facilities. PeopleService offices are located at the municipal water treatment plant, 3613 E. First, on Highway 136 east of Maryville. The phone number is 660-582-3863. The city’s Water and Sewer Maintenance Department is responsible for construction and maintenance of approximately 50 miles of water distribution and 50 miles of sewer collection lines, as well as five sewage lift stations throughout the city. Water department maintenance personnel may be contacted at 660-562-8012. The Maryville Street Department is responsible for city street maintenance, signage, snow removal, and street improvement projects. The city has spent approximately $700,000 in major street improvement projects during the past year. Questions or problems regarding the streets should be referred to the Public Works Department at 660-562-8012. The Code Enforcement and Building Inspections Department is responsible for ensuring all new construction is in compliance with uniform building codes adopted by the city council. In addition, this department is responsible for enforcement of storm water ordinances and various other code requirements of the city. The code enforcement department’s contact number is 660-562-8015. The city provides far-reaching recreational opportunities to residents through the Maryville Parks and Recreation Department and at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park, the city’s 3,000-acre park that includes a 1,000-acre lake. The park is located five miles east of Downtown on Highway 136. The finance department, headed by Denise Town, serves as the collection agency for city services and maintains records of the city’s finances and activities. The city clerk can be contacted at 660562-8003 and the city budget office may be contacted at 660-562-8007.

SSM Health at Home offers home health solutions SSM Health at Home, Maryville is a nonprofit, Medicare-certified community service providing home healthcare services after a hospital or nursing home stay, and provide support for chronic disease and symptom management. Hospice service enables patients who elect the service to die at home among family and friends, or in a nursing home served by hospice. The hospice care team ministers to the physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs of the patient. Directed by the patient’s primary physician, this multidisciplinary team includes doctors, nurses, home care aides, massage therapy, social workers, spiritual counselors, and volunteers. Hospice emphasizes preserving dignity and improving quality of life through symptom management, which includes relief from emotional, spiritual, and physical pain. The hospice staff is sensitive to the unique needs of bereaved family members and continues to provide supportive services to survivors for 13 months after the patient has died. The team maintains contact with the family through phone calls, visits, and letters. Since numerous research studies have

concluded that bereaved persons have an increased risk of illness, bereavement followup and support is a major component of the program. Ongoing support through individual and group bereavement counseling and social events offer opportunities for fellowship and support during this difficult time. By respecting individual differences and cultural influences on grieving, the hospice team promotes a positive expression of grief, consistent with social and religious expectations. For a patient to be admitted to the program, two basic criteria must be met: • Both the primary physician and the hospice medical director must certify the patient is terminal with a life expectancy of six months or less, if the disease runs its normal course. • The patient must live within Nodaway, Worth, Andrew, Gentry, Atchison, or Holt counties. SSM Health at Home, Maryville, as part of SSM Healthcare, provides the following services: Medicare/Medicaid certification; physician services; trained volunteer; registered nurse on call 24 hours, seven days a week for

emergencies; and spiritual support. Special services include pain and symptom management, caregiver/family support, focus on care at home, community education, and bereavement support for caregivers. The program’s staff members are available for presentations to church, social, or civic groups. Persons interested in becoming a volunteer or arranging a presentation may call 660-5627904.

Mozingo Lake offers several amenities for all Top quality outdoor recreation is only minutes away from Maryville at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. There are several amenities at Mozingo for anyone and everyone to enjoy. Mozingo Lake Mozingo Lake, located five miles east from downtown Maryville, is a 1,006-acre 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. 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 fish-cleaning 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 3,000-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. Golfing The popular park is also home to the 18hole, par-72 championship Sechrest 18 Golf Course at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. Praised by USA Today as one of the “Top 10 golf courses under $50” and by Golf Digest for being a “role model for municipali-

ties,” the Sechrest 18 offers an incredible golfing experience, one totally unexpected in a community the size of Maryville. The popular — and challenging — Sechrest 18 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. Concrete cart paths make every hole

more accessible. The experience at Mozingo was improved in May 2016 with the completion and grand opening of the Watson 9 hybrid golf course. A 9-hole course, the Watson 9 was ranked as one of the top 15 hybrid courses in North America by Golf Digest before it was even opened. The new Watson 9 Course features nine regulation greens on its 1,600-yard layout. An added feature is a large pitching and See MOZINGO, Page 23

Lodging There are 103 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 non-peak 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 eight log 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. Onebedroom cabins sleep four or six and can be rented for as low as $65 per night, with rates increasing for weekends and holidays. Twobedroom 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, first-served 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, sand volleyball court area. For more information, and for all reserva-

tions, call the park office at 660-562-2323. 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. Boulders Inn and Suites, a privatelyowned hotel, which is currently under construction, is expected to be ready for reservations at the beginning of 2017. The hotel will feature 40 rooms and quick access to the new city-owned conference center. Mozingo Lake Conference Center (coming soon) In addition to the Boulders Inn and Suites, construction is underway on the new Mozingo Lake Conference Center. Funded by a new 1/8 of one cent sales tax for the city, the facility will have a large meeting space which will seat 500 and will be able to be split into three smaller meeting spaces. Staff offices, a catering kitchen, and indoor storage for golf carts and clubs used for youth programming will be housed in the conference center. The new space will also have a full-service restaurant to be bid to a third party, indoor swing space for adults and juniors, and a redesigned golf pro shop.

In “Fool’s Gold,” your meeting with the bank president takes a turn for

the worse when you realize what has happened to him. Can your group save him before time runs out? Opening soon at Encryption are two zombie-themed rooms. In the first, Zombie Outbreak: The Cure, zombies are running rampant. You and the team of researchers need to pick up where the last team left off, and the cure is almost ready. Can you complete it before the zombies break in? In the second, Zombie Outbreak: The Hunger, zombies are running rampant, and you and your zombie companions have been held for far too long with no fresh meat. Now, new researchers have entered the lab; can you get them before you grow too weak? Encryption is open Friday afternoon through Sunday night every weekend, with escape experiences starting roughly every 75 minutes. You can book your escape at encrypttheville.com.

Ambulance district serves all Nodaway County Emergency and non-emergency ambulance transportation is available to residents of Nodaway County and some outlying areas, a total of 885 square miles, through services provided by the Nodaway County Ambulance District, headquartered at 103 Carefree Dr., in Maryville. 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 three-year term, governs the district. Current supervisors are Rick Allen of Skidmore, board chairman; Julie Crady, Maryville, vice chairman; John Redden, Maryville, secretary; Scott Walk, Maryville, treasurer; and Charlie Standiford of Ravenwood and Brian McPherson of Burlington Junction serve as board members. The board’s monthly meetings, open to the public, are held at 7:30 p.m. every second Wednesday of the month. The district Patient Assisted Transportation van is available to anyone 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; Ravenwood, the east part of the county; Tri-C Rescue Squad, covering the Tri-C area; 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 ar-

rives to transport them to the hospital. The ambulance district responder units are equipped with automatic external defibrillators (AEDs). 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.

From the Maryville Aquatic Center (MAC) in Beal Park on the city’s east side to 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, which will be explained more in depth on our Fitness page (page __). Meeting rooms are also available for various community meetings and gatherings. The Maryville Aquatic Center was the third of its kind in Missouri when it was opened in 1993 and it remains one of the best. It features two waterslides, two diving boards, zero-depth entry, fountains, and the traditional eight swimming lanes to accommodate the competitive Maryville Sharks swim team. Complete information about the MAC is available by calling 660-562-2663, or by visiting the Parks & Recreation tab under Departments at www.maryville.org. Aaron Dobson was recently appointed Director of Maryville Parks and Recreation to replace Rod Auxier, who served as Director from 1986 to his retirement in February. Dobson’s office is in the Community Center at 1407 N. Country Club Rd., adjacent to the Missouri Army National Guard Armory. The telephone number at the Community Center is 660562-2923. Maryville has 10 unique community

parks. Several are designed with recreational sports in mind; others are ideal for a day of play with the kids or grandkids; and still others are perfect for a quiet picnic or just a day in the sun. The Maryville park system consists of: - Beal Park, 500 N. Laura — Maryville Aquatic Center, ball fields, tennis, sand volleyball and basketball courts, picnic facilities, and playground equipment - Donaldson Westside Park, 1000 N.

Northwest Missouri State University Northwest Missouri State University – a state-assisted, four-year regional university offering 127 undergraduate majors and 40 master’s programs – has been a part of the Maryville community and the northwest Missouri region since 1905. Founded as the Fifth District Normal School, the institution has evolved into a vibrant and diverse learning community with an enrollment of about 6,600 students hailing from 39 states and 30 countries. More than 700 faculty and staff are employed by the university, which offers classes on its Maryville campus, at centers in Kansas City and St. Joseph, online and through instructional television. In addition to bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, the university offers specialist and doctoral degrees as well as two-year certificate programs. Profession-based learning experiences are widely available to students in a variety of fields. The 448-acre R.T. Wright Farm is a living, hands-on laboratory for agriculture students. Additionally, the Horace Mann Laboratory School and the Phyllis

and Richard Leet Center for Children and Families, which is located in the center of campus and serves children in preschool through sixth grade, provides hands-on practical classroom experience for students in education and related fields. Northwest’s internationally benchmarked student employment program also offers 1,200 opportunities for students to gain professional development and specialized training in administrative, communications and environmental roles among other areas throughout the university. The first public university in the nation to implement a fully networked campus, in 1987, Northwest provides fully-loaded notebook computers to all students. The university also offers an innovative textbook rental program that dates back to the early days of the institution and saves students nearly $1,200 each year.
