Mozingo planners Six county schools graduate question proposed location for lodge By TONY BROWN News Editor

Mozingo Lake Recreation Park Advisory Board members, city of Maryville officials and other local residents with a stake in the future of the 3,000-acre park, golf course and wildlife area gathered at the Mozingo Lake clubhouse Friday to weigh in with suggestions for a proposed comprehensive plan that would govern development at the park over the next 20 years. Also present were staff from RDG Planning & Design, the consulting firm hired by the city to assist with drafting the development blueprint, which is scheduled for completion later this summer. RDG is the same company that put together the city’s comprehensive growth, development and zoning plan, which was adopted in 2012. The Maryville City Council appropriated $58,000 to pay for the Mozingo planning document, which to guide development at the lake. The reservoir serves as the city’s primary water source. RDG landscape architect Hans Klein-Hewett said the last major planning effort at the lake took place as it was being completed in

the mid-1990s. Many of the provisions in that earlier document, he said, such as the development of the 18-hole golf course, recreational vehicle camping areas, boat docks and other facilities, have been completed. The council elected to move forward with a new round of planning following the failure of its effort to find a developer willing to build and manage a proposed hotel, banquet facility and meeting center at the lake. Several council members have said being able to show potential developers that the city has a longrange vision for the park could help attract the kind of private-sector dollars that building and running such a facility will require. And while RDG’s preliminary proposals deal with the park as a whole, the lodge is already shaping up as a centerpiece. On Friday, Councilman Glenn Jonagan sharply disagreed with RDG’s plan to place the lodge somewhere on “The Point,” a hillside that rises above the eastern shore of the lake near the south end of the main channel. Over the past year, The Point has become something of a special

Father and son work so Maryville can play By KEVIN BIRDSELL Staff writer

Rod Auxier (left) and his son Erick (right) both have jobs that give them the responsibility of directing recreational activities for the city of Maryville. Rod is the director of Maryville Parks & Recreation and Erick is the operations manager at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park.

By different routes, a father and son have taken on the responsibility of making sure Maryville residents have quality parks and recreational facilities at which to make the most of their downtime. Since 1986, Rod Auxier has served as director of Maryville Parks & Recreation, the quasi-independent municipal agency responsible for the city’s parks and playgrounds. Beginning this year, Auxier’s son Erick was named operations manager at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park, which is controlled directly by the City Council rather than Parks & Rec because it also functions as Maryville’s primary water source. When Rod became the top administrator at Parks & Rec, Erick was barely a year old. The younger Auxier had worked at Mozingo for more than five years before being picked by City Manager Greg McDanel as operations chief. Rod Auxier grew up in Gower and attended East Buchanan High School before earning his undergradu-

ate degree at Northwest Missouri State University. Prior to joining Parks & Rec, he held similar jobs in St. Joseph and Peoria, Ill. Erick Auxier is a graduate of Maryville High School and earned his undergraduate degree in Parks, Recreation and Tourism at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He earned a master’s degree at Northwest in 2010. Erick had been working at city-owned Mozingo Lake Golf Course when the new opportunity opened up late last year. “In January we kind of redid the structure of the organization, and I was promoted up to operations manager of the entire park plus the golf course,” he said. As for Rod, he recalls thinking that Maryville would be just a brief stop on a career path leading elsewhere. “When I came here, I didn’t think I’d be in Maryville long,” Rod said. “I thought it would be about three to four years, but I made a promise to my kids when we moved that once they got to middle school, I would not move.” Those children are now

grown, and Auxier is still here. “The other reason I stayed here was because Maryville has been supportive of parks and recreation,” he said. “That’s why I’m still here. Just the support the community has shown.” Auxier also praised the backing he was gotten from the Parks & Recreation Board of Directors. “They hire the director,” he said. “Close to 50 individuals have been on that board since I’ve been in town, and I’ve always had a good board to work for. A lot of directors couldn’t say they’ve been around a board or community that has been as supportive as Maryville.” Once Erick graduated from MU, he came back to Maryville looking to attend graduate school and find a job. “When I graduated from Mizzou, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do,” he said. “I wasn’t sure if I wanted a job or to go to get my master’s. The assistant athletic director at Northwest contacted me and let me know about a (graduate assistant) opening that was going to open for the first time. I applied See AUXIER, Page 14

LOCAL NEWS Assembly caps Optimist charity effort

Nine seventh-grade students at St. Gregory’s School in Maryville will learn the results of their recent fundraising efforts sponsored by the Maryville Optimist Club’s Pay It Forward program during an assembly set for 8:15 a.m. Tuesday in the St. Greg’s gymnasium. Earlier this year, the class was given $45 in seed money to help establish fundraisers to benefit the University of Kansas Cancer Center; Ronald McDonald House; and Landon Shaw, an infant stricken with cancer whose plight has drawn national attention. “The Maryville Optimist Club believes that we must be role models for our youth,” said Mary Noel-Owens, past chapter president and Pay It Forward chair. During Tuesday’s assembly, the students will report on their various projects prior to the announcement of how much money this year’s initiative raised.

CAPITOL NEWS Budget higher in spite of flat revenues

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s tax revenues have been falling short of expectations. Yet spending is on the rise in the Missouri Legislature. Legislators this past week approved a $26.4 billion operating budget for the fiscal year that starts in July. It represents a greater than 6 percent increase over the current budget. Yet state revenues for the current budget year are essentially flat and have fallen short of projections in three of the last four months. House and Senate budget leaders acknowledge some concern, but they remain hopeful that revenues will still grow enough to fund everything in the budget. If revenues continue to fall short of projections, it could be up to Gov. Jay Nixon to make budget cuts.

Missouri Senate OKs student reimbursement

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Senate has passed legislation that could allow high school students who go on to receive state-sponsored scholarships to be reimbursed for some student fees. Under legislation sent to the House on Thursday, students participating in dual-credit high school courses can use some scholarship funds to pay off fees charged as a result of those classes. Students in Missouri’s Bright Flight and A+ scholarship could take advantage of the program if they meet criteria developed by the Department of Higher Education. Bright Flight scholarships are awarded based on ACT or SAT scores. The A+ program gives students attending a participating high school money to attend a community or technical college.

Capitol Hall to honor tax-limits champion

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Springfield man who led the drive to place limits on Missouri state revenues and local taxes will be inducted next week into the Capitol’s Hall of Famous Missourians. Mel Hancock was a businessman when he authored a Missouri constitutional amendment approved by voters in 1980. Now known as the “Hancock Amendment,” it establishes a state revenue limit, bars state government from imposing unfunded mandates on local governments and requires voter approval of local tax increases. Hancock went on to serve four terms in the U.S. House representing southwestern Missouri. He died in 2011. An induction ceremony for Hancock on Wednesday in the House chamber of the Capitol.

Maryville City Councilman Jeff Funston, left, and RDG architect Hans Klein-Hewett, center, wearing glasses, were among those looking over maps of Mozingo Lake Recreation Park Friday during a public comment session that was one of the first steps toward completion of a comprehensive plan for the lake scheduled for submission to the council later this summer.

Mozingo planners have questions Continued from Page 1 events venue. It also offers easy access to the park’s boating, camping and picnicking facilities. However, the area is separated from the golf course by a large cove, meaning that golfers staying at a hotel there would have to drive out of the park then south for a few hundred yards on Liberty Road in order to tee up. “I just think that it would be a disaster,” Jonagan said of plans that would site the hotel anywhere but in the vicinity of the current clubhouse. “Golf is what they’re coming for,” Jonagan said of potential hotel guests. Klein-Hewett said RDG picked The Point as a pro-

posed hotel site because the hillside’s visibility would create a Mozingo landmark that could be exploited for marketing purposes, and because the lodge is envisioned as a “destination for the park and not just the golf course.” Councilman Jeff Funston, who was also at Friday’s planning session, said he too favors locating the lodge near the golf course, if only because business gatherings, weddings, tournaments, reunions and other events that the hotel is expected to attract would cause too much traffic and congestion in the main part of the park. He added, however, that the discussion may be moot, since anyone deciding to develop a hotel and meeting

Tornado roars through Orrick ORRICK, Mo. (AP) — Residents in a small northwest Missouri town that took a direct hit from an EF2 tornado were busy Sunday assessing damage and rescheduling events, like next week’s high school graduation. The tornado Saturday evening in Orrick yanked roofs off homes and other buildings and also ripped up trees and power lines. No injuries were reported amid the widespread damage. The town of around 800 residents is about 25 miles northeast of Kansas City. By early Sunday, the Orrick High School website had posted a “huge thank you to everyone who has sent us offers of help and prayers.” The note signed by the Orrick administration said the district was still assessing damage and had canceled classes in Orrick for Monday and Tuesday because it didn’t want “anyone in the building until it’s

It will be up to the council, Funston said, to balance the commercial interests of such a developer with the aesthetic and non-golf recreational aspects of the park.

“We need to suit all of Maryville,” Funston said, “not just one investor.” Aside from the hotel, Hans Klein-Hewett said the biggest planning challenges at Mozingo revolve around its dual nature — a heavily developed south end and a relatively isolated northern section comprising open prairie, brushy timber and wildlife.

Excelsior Springs is located about 15 miles north of Orrick. The National Weather Service said the tornado was part of a super cell storm that formed over the Kansas City metropolitan area earlier Saturday and continued eastward, spawning at least one more tornado that also struck near the town of Marshall.

SOCIAL SECURITY

From big screen to computers

It’s summertime, and that means it’s time for popcorn, snacks, and blockbuster movies on the silver screen. Have you noticed that many of the heroes in theaters this year seem to be of a certain age? In fact, some of them are old enough they could easily be getting Social Security retirement benefits even as they continue to work—saving the world or otherwise. These days, retirement isn’t what it used to be. Modern day retirees are more likely to be traveling, volunteering, and being active—even continuing to work—while collecting retirement benefits. That’s likely the case with many of the actors we’ll see in this year’s movies. Take The Expendables 3. Expendables Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are all old enough to be eligible for retirement benefits. Captain America returned to the big screen this year. Even though he’s still out saving the world, he first appeared on the job in a comic book in 1941, making him a likely candidate for collecting Social Security retirement payments. Spiderman, also back on the big screen this summer, is a little younger, first appearing in 1962. But he is old enough to plan for his retirement by using our Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity. gov/estimator. And although he’s not old enough for retirement yet, it’s likely he could get disability benefits, along with Rhino, Electro, and Green Goblin. Their conditions are all expected to last more than a year. Another group with unusual conditions: the X-Men, returning to the big screen for the summer. Professor X and Magneto are surely old enough to receive full retireDanny Zimmerman ment. In addition to X-Men like Wolverine and Beast, there are a number of X-Women, such as Mystique, Storm, Rogue, and Kitty Pryde, who could possibly qualify for Social Security benefits. While none of them appear old enough to apply for retirement, they should consider applying for disability benefits given their severe conditions. If any of these on-screen heroes and villains need advice on the best way to apply for benefits, perhaps Johnny Depp could lead the way. In his new film Transcendence, he finds himself online—literally. How long does it take to apply for benefits online? This year’s Fast and Furious 7 seems slow by comparison. You can complete and submit the online application for benefits in as little as 15 minutes from start to finish. Whether you’ve been bitten by a radioactive spider or find yourself reaching the latter years in life, the place to go for all of your Social Security information and business is our website at www.socialsecurity.gov.

MY WORD

American citizens remaining silent when they should be loud

Many, notably those on the Right, think America is in decline, that our sun is setting, that we are a remnant of our formerly remarkable selves. What do you think? Personally, I believe we have hit the skids temporarily, but wrongs can be righted, and there is still time, if little. Taken as a whole, we are as we have always been: creative, sensible, industrious, capable, and freedom-loving. Those abstractions are our strengths, not weaknesses as purported by some. We Americans are accustomed to success on the national level. Indeed, most of us are proud of our country. We still get a little misty when the flag goes up, and the anthem we have heard all our days is sung with respect. But America has fallen into neglect too. Our greatest gift, freedom, it seems, is misunderstood and taken for granted. For some, ambition and desire has been replaced by a sense of entitlement. Responsibility and character-building has too often been overwhelmed by a phony sense of self-esteem willfully promoted by shallow sources in education, politics, and media. We have mistaken the steady erosion of values and traditions as progress. The low road has become the high road as if society is somehow advanced if intoxicated, unemployed, and strangled by endless legal entanglements and partisan refusals to political partnership. Our leadership has failed us, and much blame can be placed where it rightfully belongs, on the shoulders of those who scorn our history, who seek to redesign the most successful country in the world into a listless social slug, who lecture, correct, and corrupt. Aren’t they the ones who have demonstrated that “illegal” is

really okay with them? They are. It is our fault also. Too many are willing to pay for education without evaluating its content. Too many are silent from pulpit, stump, and podium when traditional principles come under attack.

Larry Anderson Americans see wrong but are irresolute. We see destructive behaviors but let them slide. We mistake change for progress and hope as an answer instead of a placebo. We shrug and accept the “I can’t do anything” argument as if it is meritorious. We mind our own business, but we forget America is our business. Citizens are silent when they should be loud. We should speak out when we see the following even if it isn’t in our back yard at the moment and seemingly trivial within the big picture. At Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, the following class will be offered: The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender, and Media. The course description says Miley

will be the lens through which society will be explored. Pretty deep, huh? Nothing speaks more clearly to the atrophy of American education than a class on a 21-year-old brat whose contribution to society thus far has been an adolescent TV show and a demonstration of twerking. Of course students will flock to a soft course that fits so concisely to a party-all-night mentality. Cost to Mom and Dad and America? Way too much. This is an example of our obsession with meaningless social attraction while in China the best students are studying engineering, physics, and economics. How long will we be able to compete with serious nations like China, Germany, and Japan if what we offer is nothing more than an analysis of pop culture defined by insignificance? At Rutgers they teach a class on Beyonce. That sounds more advanced than the Miley course. Maybe it’s a grad class! In any case, it should contribute greatly to the mundane prospect of obtaining a job and making a living. Money well spent, don’t you think? Oh, I know it’s only one class and will only affect a few students, but it symbolizes much more. It defines an inconsequential direction and contrasts the need to know with the tease associated with an emptyheaded culture. It represents poorly. These matters will not get better until we raise our expectations concerning the quality and reach of our collective example. Time to suit up if you want more for this society than Twitter, a doobie, or an absurdity disguised as insight. Twerk that. Larry W. Anderson is a cranky old man and proud of it.

Aim for harmony in your business and personal relationships this year. You will fall short of your goals if you give in to self-doubt. Spend more time doing things that relax and revive you. Size up your situation until you know what you want, and make your dreams come true. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are always ready to lend a hand, and it will win you many friends and valuable allies. An associate will provide the key needed to help you realize a professional opportunity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will be admired for your creative talents. You may be in a mood to party, but don’t give in to excess. Overindulgence will lead to stress and weight gain. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Problems with your partner may require professional help. If you are not getting the honest feedback you need, get legal advice. Taking a casual“wait and see”attitude could be costly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can’t take things at face value. Someone may be stretching the truth. Rather thandependonothers,youwillneed to do some independent digging to get the real story. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -This is not a good time to lend or borrow. Someone may try to take advantage of you. Steer clear of any loan requests, and keep tabs on your

possessions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Concentrate on personal pleasures ratherthangroupinvolvements.Take time to pamper yourself. It will help dispeltheworryanduneasinessthat are distracting you from your goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It may be a favorable time to invest. Look into antiques, art or other objects that have the potential to increase in value. Choose items that also enrich your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t be deceived by a fast talker. Your trusting nature could cost you. Rely on your instincts. If something seemstoogoodtobetrue,stayaway. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -You will get ahead if you overcome your shyness. Others cannot help you until they know what you have tooffer.Beself-assuredandpromote your assets and potential. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -It’s important to clear up unfinished business and stay on top of small details. Do whatever it takes to prepare for obstacles that may stand between you and your goals.

Hounds do their share

Maryville High School student-athletes John Zimmerman and Jarret Cronin pitch in to help clean up a yard on S. Clayton Ave. in Maryville Saturday morning. The Spoofhound football team completed several projects around town, including, above, tearing out 100-feet of fence and cleaning up a yard off Twelfth Street. The proceeds go to help pay for summer camps.

Spoofhounds give back By JASON LAWRENCE Sports editor

It was a busy weekend for the Spoofhound football team with graduation, Mother’s Day and a little philanthropy. The Spoofhounds held a community clean-up day Saturday to give back to a community that helps them out so much during the season, completing countless projects around town. “Our community helps us so much. They’re at games, they’re supporting us, so we have to give back a little to just show our support for the support they give us,” junior offensive lineman Jacob Cacek said. Head coach Matt Webb said the objective was to teach the importance of giving back as well as raise some funds to offset some of the cost of the four high school football summer camps. “The objective of (Saturday) was to give back to the community that supports us extremely well and for our guys to realize

that it’s important to give back. Also in an effort, we were able to raise some funds, which go to offset our summer camp costs,” Webb said. “We got to a lot of camps over the summer to help our team get better and sometimes those expenses add up. We wanted to do some service projects and be able to go off a donation-basis to help out. It’s just another example of Maryville supporting young people.” The fact that it was such a busy weekend — and nice out — played a role as well, since “everyone has projects that need done.” The event also coincided with the City of Maryville’s cleanup days, which aims to pick up tree limbs, yard waste and discarded furniture. “Springtime is a busy time to get things done,” Webb said. “I think it’s neat that it coincides. It’s a busy weekend, it’s graduation weekend, Mother’s Day weekend, school’s winding down and everybody’s looking forward to summer. I think it’s just See Football, Page 13

Boeh ready to start coaching Continued from Page 11 Big Brothers, Big Sisters, her experience with youth sports in the community. Once she applied, the recommendations started to flood in on the idea that we couldn’t get a better person for the position. I really, truly believe that Candace will be a role model for our young female athletes at Maryville High School.” The coaching gene comes from her father, who always coached her and her twin sister, Alexis, growing up. Alexis will also be joining her at MHS next year, having been hired a week prior to teach special education. “We just feel relieved because we didn’t know what was going to happen,” Candace said. “... It’s just a really good support system to have. “I was really excited because we wanted to stay in the community and I knew this was a good place to start and really have a lot of support. Starting out in a community like

this that was so supportive of when Alexis and I played, our activities in the community and so what better place than to start in an environment where you’re comfortable.” Just because Maryville is comfortable, though, doesn’t mean the first-year coach will not have high expectations for her new team. “I have really high expectations,” she said. “I know academics is a huge thing. We are a basketball team, but I am going to have high expectations for their work in the classroom because ultimately that’s going to take them to if they decide to go to college, have post-secondary education or go straight to jobs. The second thing is I jus want to see improvement. I would love to go to state, I would love to be 20-0, but I want to see improvement every day, every week, every game. That’s what I’m really looking forward to. I want to celebrate small accomplishments while working toward the big end goal.”

Left: Erick Auxier became the operations manager at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park in January after graduating from Maryville High School in 2004 and going on to earn college degrees at the University of Missouri-Columbia and Northwest Missouri State, where he completed a master’s in 2010. Above: Rod Auxier has been the director of Maryville Parks and Recreation since April 1986. He moved back to Maryville, where he received his undergraduate degree from Northwest Missouri State University, after career stops in St. Joseph and Peoria, Ill.

Auxier father and son play key leadership roles Continued from Page 1 for it and got it. It was a win-win because I got education and experience at the same time.” Once he received his master’s degree, he looked around Maryville for a job and found one working part-time at the golf course. “It’s just timing,” Erick said. “I was looking for jobs, and I either didn’t have enough experience or I had too much education. Timing works out in strange ways, but the operations manager at the golf course left, and they promoted me.” As director of Parks & Rec, Rod Auxier said he does a little bit of everything from overseeing various departments to putting together the annual budget. Erick has much the same job at

Mozingo, where he is responsible for virtually all park activities and operations that directly affect the patrons. “We both deal with the public on a day-to-day basis,” Erick said. “I think we are both here to hopefully make Maryville healthier and more enjoyable. Both of our facilities are very family oriented. Young or old, you can come out to Mozingo or the Community Center and enjoy your day. That’s the service that we both provide.” One difference in the two positions is that father and so work for different bosses: Erick for the city manager and, ultimately, City Council, and Rod for the Park Board. Their customers also come from somewhat different, though overlapping, demographics. “Mozingo deals with the com-

munity and the Maryville area, but they draw people from outside more than Parks & Recreation,” Rod Auxier said. “We do at the pool and sometimes at the parks. We get a few people from the outside, but they get more (out-oftown visitors) on the day-to-day.” Rod has held his current position for virtually all of Erick’s whole life, and growing up watching his father work has been a great example, the younger Auxier said. “When I was a little kid, I got to go to basketball games, softball games and helped volunteer,” Erick said. “I guess you could say it was in my blood growing up. He had a huge impact on the field I chose to get into.” Rod said he was surprised at first to see Erick follow in his footsteps, but he enjoys watching his

son doing something he loves. “The reason why we both chose recreation is because we both love sports,” Erick said. “We enjoy being around that kind of activity.” Since Erick took over as head of operations at Mozingo, he has worked with his father on such joint projects as the Active Family Pass, which provides access to the Maryville Community Center, Maryville Aquatic Center and Mozingo Lake Golf Course. “We want to get families to (be active) together,” Rod said. “Not only fitness-wise, but even going to a concert, a movie, walking trails at Mozingo or in town, skipping rocks on Mozingo Lake or going golfing.” “I’d say the idea (for the pass) came from us,” Erick said. “We may have been at La Bonita one

night, and it just popped up. We kicked around the idea for a while then we asked the administration if we could do it, and they said go for it.” Being the son of a veteran recreation professional has been a great resource, Erick said. “If I ever have any questions I can always ask him,” Erick said. “Part of being in the same field is that if an idea pops up, you can bounce it off of somebody before you make a fool of yourself or look like a genius.” Both Erick and Rod say they value the high level of support they have received from park patrons and the community at large. “They’ve always supported us,” Erick said. “It makes your job easier when you have that kind of support from the community.”

Host Lions still serving at 75 years By TONY BROWN News editor

More than 70 members and guests of the Maryville Host Lions gathered at the Maryville County Club Thursday night for a banquet and awards ceremony celebrating the group’s 75th anniversary. The club is associated with Lions International, the world’s largest service organization. Lions International was founded by Chicago businessman Melvin Jones in 1917 and has grown to embrace more than 46,000 local clubs comprising 1.35 million members in 200 countries. The Host Lions were founded in April 1939. The first president was Dr. Loren Egley. Highlights during Thursday’s banquet included a keynote address by International Director Donal Knipp and the presentation of 50-year-plus membership awards to Host Lions Bob Severson, Vilas Young, Henry B. Sears, George Gayler, Orval Heywood and Dr. Harold Poynter. Together, the 50-year members have compiled a total of 387 years of Lionsrelated service to their community, country and planet. During his remarks, Knipp called the local club’s 75 years of community service “remarkable” and praised the Host Lions for staying true to Jones’ vision of “people putting their talents to work improving their community.” “Your club is a perfect example of what Lions do,” Knipp said. “Whenever possible you have extended a hand to those in need.” Examples of the Host Lions’ commitment to Maryville are legion, said club historian Galen Lewis during a summary of the organization’s achievements over the past eight decades. Host participation in Lions International vision programs alone results in the donation of 2,000 pairs of glasses annually. Members also serve as volunteers for “meals on wheels” and make regular donations, both in kind and in cash, to the Nodaway County Ministry Center food pantry. Aside from working to make sure essential physical resources are available to those in need, Host Lions are also committed to promoting the values of good citizenship and community

pride. The club has worked for years with Boy Scout Troop 75 to provide U.S. flags for local businesses to display on national holidays Another club tradition — begun in 1945 — is sponsorship of the annual Easter egg hunt held in recent years at Donaldson Westside Park. By way of recognizing key leaders of these and other initiatives, the Host Lions on Thursday presented Melvin Jones Fellowship awards to members Dan Edmonds, Mark Rosewell, Matt Gaarder and Phil Cobb. Cobb serves as current Host Lions president and is publisher and editor of the Maryville Daily Forum. The Melvin Jones Award is the highest members’ honor presented by the Lions Clubs International Foundation, and is bestowed on Lions who perform exemplary service over an extended period to their clubs and communities. Jones fellows must also make significant contributions to such overall Lions initiatives as youth development and scholarships, sight restoration and assistance for the visually impaired, and disaster relief. After accepting his Jones Fellowship pin from Knipp, Cobb summarized the reasons for the Host Lions’ longevity and success with a single word: “selflessness.” “We have a lot of guys who put others before themselves,” said Cobb, noting that current members have played important roles in humanitarian relief programs stretching from Nodaway County to Thailand and Africa. “They have worked to help people around the globe,” Cobb said. “It’s hard to believe the reach this club has, and nothing has to do with personal advancement. Tonight it’s good to be recognized, but the goal of the Host Lions is to help others.” An especially touching moment during the banquet came with the introduction of Gladys Ritterbusch, the widow of charter Host Lions member Louis Ritterbusch, who served as president of the service club in 1951-’52. Also honored was Al Orgeron, who received the Don Robey Award. Named for the club’s 1944-’45 president, the Robey plaque is presented to the local organization’s outstanding member of the year.

Wilmes leaving West Nodaway after 22 years By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer

Kenny Wilmes always planned on spending his life involved in agriculture, but early on teaching teenagers about farming in a classroom was the furthest thing from his mind. But 22 years after beginning his career in public education, Wilmes is retiring from the West Nodaway R-I School District with more than two decades worth of stellar memories and the gratitude of students past and present who have learned the lessons about farming and life he had to teach. “I was farming in the area, and (former West Nodaway Superintendent) David Grubb got me involved driving the bus and substitute teaching,” Wilmes said. “I really enjoyed being around the kids, so I went to school and got my degree in Ag education.” Wilmes spent his entire school career in Nodaway County. He taught for seven years at North Nodaway before moving for five years to Northeast Nodaway, then

switching districts again to West Nodaway. This, his final year on the Burlington Junction campus, is his tenth. “It has been a blast, especially working with the FFA kids,” Wilmes said. “Without the hands-on outlet that FFA provides, I don’t think I could have been just a classroom teacher.” Wilmes said his favorite part of the job has been watching kids work and grow through contests and activities. One example is current West Nodaway senior Haley Snow, who had never taken an agriculture class before this year. “It never crossed my mind to take an agriculture class before my senior year,” Snow said. “Now I wish I would have done more with the Ag program throughout high school. I was on our state FFA contest bug team, and I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Mr. Wilmes is a great teacher.” “In my opinion, one of the things that makes Ag education special is the hands-on practical experience a student can gain,” Wilmes said. “I had farmed for several

Wilmes is retiring from teaching after a 22-year career. years, and didn’t become a teacher until I was 35, so I had a lot of real-life experience I could share with the students. Those lessons are things they can use for the rest of their lives.” One former West Nodaway student, Tyler Adkins, attained the office of vice president with the Missouri FFA Association. To show his gratitude for all he learned in high school FFA, he presented Wilmes with

a framed plaque thanking him for “…being the best Ag teacher I could ever ask for!” “Tyler got me with the plaque,” Wilmes said. “It meant a lot to me, as I enjoyed working with him and watching him develop and grow through high school.” When asked why retirement comes now, while he’s still enjoying teaching, Wilmes offered a simple three-word explanation. “Cows and grandkids,” Wilmes said. “I tell people those are the reasons for retirement. I have six grandkids, and I want to have time to enjoy them.” Wilmes said he would still be happy to be involved in the West Nodaway FFA program on a volunteer basis, if asked. “I would be glad to come back and work with contest teams if they need me,”

Wilmes said. “And I would be glad to drive the bus on FFA trips as well.” Wilmes has been very active in the youth livestock exhibitions during the Nodaway County Fair for several years, but said his work with the fair will change as well. “I will still be glad to help with the fair,” Wilmes said. “But most of my help will go to my grandkids as they participate in the pee-wee divisions.” West Nodaway Superintendent Nancy Greeley said Wilmes has been a vital member of the school staff over the past 10 years. “Kenny’s positive contributions to students and staff here at West Nodaway cannot be measured,” Greeley said. “He has been a very important part of our team here over the past 10 years and we will miss him.”

Special presentation

Assistant Principal Roger Johnson said he will especially miss a unique bit of tradition that has come to be associated with Wilmes. “We won’t get to hear ‘good morning West Nodaway’ on the intercom anymore,” Johnson said with a laugh. “Whenever Kenny needed to make an announcement, it always began that way, and I know the kids began to look forward to those announcements.” Senior four-year FFA member Emily Cordell captured the sentiment of students, school staff and the community with her response to Wilmes’ retirement. “I’m sad that my two little brothers won’t have the chance to have Mr. Wilmes as a teacher,” Cordell said. “But if he’s going to retire, I’m glad I’m ‘graduating’ with him.”
