WELCOME TO OUR TOWN

Maryville — make it your town, too

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 to 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 city, and really of this

Phil Cobb Editor & Publisher Maryville Daily Forum region — a 3,000-acre park, highlighted by a 1,000-acre lake, which serves as the city’s water supply and its primary source of recreation.

Mozingo is nationally recognized for its bass fishing, and for its two exceptional golf courses, the Sechrest 18 and the newly-opened Watson 9 hybrid course, designed by PGA golf legend Tom Watson.

Just about anyone can find an activity of their liking at Mozingo — camping,

RVing, swimming, tubing, horseback riding trails, hiking and biking trails, an archery range, and the list goes on.

Then, as you return to Maryville from the east, you’ll see a new Casey’s convenience store, a new car wash, a new Pizza Ranch restaurant, and a new hydroponic lettuce growing facility called Lettuce Dream, all part of the Eastside Development brought about by father and son developers Mark and Myles Burnsides.

Further evidence that investment in this small town’s future is well placed.

Head west down Fourth Street from the downtown square, and as you approach Northwest Missouri State University, you’ll see the results of a powerful partnership between the City of Maryville and the university — a “Town and Gown” partnership which drew statewide recognition in 2015 as Missouri Main Street Connection awarded the project its Outstanding Public Partner Award.

Keeping with that spirit of university and city collaboration, in November, voters passed a 5-percent transient guest tax — “bed tax.”

The initiative helps to make possible a $20 million indoor multipurpose complex on campus, and is projected to inject $65,000 annually into the city’s budget for tourism and marketing efforts based on current

average occupancy numbers.

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 designed to encourage the removal of substandard buildings and promote redevelopment near the university by waiving debris disposal fees and permit costs 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 to do here.

And don’t let that make you think it’s not somewhere you’d want to stay for good.

Five-member city council presides over Maryville government The City of Maryville, headquartered at the Maryville City Hall, 415 N. Market Street, 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 at City Hall.

Under Maryville’s form of government, the council members are elected to threeyear 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 and is now serving his second term. Other members of the council include Rachael Martin, who was appointed mayor pro-tem, Jerry Riggs, Renee Riedel, and Benjamin Lipiec.

The Missouri Sunshine Law dictates that the majority of city business requiring council approval is presented to the council during open public meetings.

The city council is tasked with hiring a city manager to manage the day-to-day operations of the city. Greg McDanel has served in that role since 2012. In that capacity, he is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the organization, enforcement of all policies, laws, and ordinances; coordination of all municipal programs and services; and making recommendations to the city council as appropriate. The city manager is appointed by the city council and serves at its pleasure.

Ryan Heiland currently serves as

the assistant city manager and directly oversees Mozingo Lake Recreation Park and Northwest Missouri Regional Airport.

The annual Maryville budget for the 2017 fiscal year totals more than $27.24 million as the city supports many projects and services through its various departments.

City departments include General Administration, Public Works, Public Safety, Finance, Municipal Court, Northwest Missouri Regional Airport, Parks & Recreation, Mozingo Lake Recreation Park, and Central Garage.

Through these departments, basic services such as law enforcement, fire response, water treatment and distribution, sewer treatment and collection, snow removal, street maintenance and construction are provided.

The organization also focuses on code enforcement, building inspections, fiscal management and transparency, human resources, records retention, economic development, aviation, and public recreation throughout the community.

The City of Maryville is dedicated to improving the quality of life by providing citizens with responsive public services, safe and vibrant neighborhoods, dynamic economic growth and vitality, and transformative partnerships throughout the community.

area youth a chance to put together and perform a musical on a three-week rehearsal schedule.

The first show took place in the Mary Linn Auditorium in the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts in the summer of 2007, when about 40 students between the second and ninth grades produced The Princess and the Pea. Since then, the troupe has performed “Junior” versions of numerous Broadway shows, including Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, and Once on This Island.

In 2011, MYP had grown to a point where it needed more than one cast, and as a result, the company was split into two casts which doubled the number of speaking parts and performances. MYP also began offering cross-curricular classes in 2011, allowing students to go deeper into the arts to study topics such as set design, choreography, song writing, and improvisational skills, among other topics.

In the summer of 2018, MYP will produce Alice in Wonderland Jr. at the Mary

Linn Auditorium. Registration opens March 1. More information, including how to audition, will be available in the spring of 2018.

Throughout the venture, numerous parents and show attendees were clamoring for a similar opportunity for adults and for students who had gone through MYP but “aged out.” As a result, in 2017, MYP announced the creation of Second Stage.

Second Stage molds together community theater with the MYP formula, bringing actors of all ages together to put together a full Broadway show in only three weeks of rehearsals. The opening performance took place in July 2017, when Second Stage produced Hello, Dolly! in the new Schneider Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Maryville High School.

Second Stage is currently planning the 2018 show; more information will be available in the spring of 2018.

Ambulance district serves 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.

All EMTs have 300 to 600 hours of classroom training in basic life support techniques, as well as 20 to 50 hours of clinical experience. Paramedics receive an additional 1,000-plus 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 Charlie Standiford of Ravenwood, board chairman; Julie Crady, Maryville, vice chairman; John Redden, Maryville, secretary; Scott Walk, Maryville, treasurer; and Rick Allen of Skidmore and Herb Snodderley of Clearmont 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 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 arrives 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 Nodaway County Ambulance also does free CPR training available to the public; more information is available on the website, www. nodawaycountyambulance.org.

Red 911 yard signs are available for county addresses only; contact the Nodaway County Ambulance District for more information.

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 follow-up 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 prim a r y 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 660-562-7904.

SSM Health at Home, Maryville accepts patients regardless of age, sex, race, creed, handicap or ability to pay, excluding pediatric care.

For detailed program information or for emergencies, call 660-562-7904.

The goal of home health is a holistic, family centered approach that promotes physical, psychosocial, and spiritual wholeness. Services include skilled nursing care, home health aides, occupational/ physical/speech therapy, medical/social work, nutritional counseling, and palliative care.

If you or a loved one wants to heal in the home while recovering from a debilitating injury or illness, or need help managing a chronic health condition, talk to your physician about SSM Health at Home services.

St. Francis Hospital continues its commitment, as first instituted by its founder, Mother Augustine Giesen, to “turn no one away,” treating all patients without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, handicap, age, or ability to pay.

Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans are accepted. Information about billing and the possibility of financial aid can be addressed through the business office.

Hospital services offered locally include emergency, general, gynecological, ophthalmologic, and orthopedic surgeries; nutritional services; obstetrics; behavioral health; cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation; physical, speech, and occupational therapies; inpatient and outpatient diagnostic and treatment services; and an outreach specialty physician clinic.

Patient rooms are both comfortable and high-tech, and most are single-private rooms. Hospitalists now provide physician coverage 24 hours a day.

Emergency services at SSM Health St. Francis Hospital are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Fulltime physician coverage provides treatment for patients for a wide range of

emergency situations.

Housed in three locations on the hospital campus, SSM Health Medical Group is an organization of some 38 providers from a variety of specialties offering healthcare services to patients of all ages.

Inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services are offered through SSM Health. Free assessments and a 24-hour crisis line are some of the services available from a staff of trained professionals, including a full-time psychiatrist.

As an enhanced sports rehabilitation and conditioning program, the hospital’s sports acceleration program is a member of the Athletic Republic, an industry leader that uses science based approach, proprietary technology and advanced sports specific training protocols to increase an athlete’s speed, power, quickness, agility, and conditioning level. Certified athletic trainers supervise the acceleration program as well as providing outreach trainer services to area schools.

Obstetrics at St. Francis facilitates the latest in labor, delivery, and postpartum options. Accommodations allow mothers to labor and deliver in the labor/delivery/ recovery room, and then move to the postpartum room, allowing the newborn baby to stay with its mother. The majority of the postpartum rooms are private and an infant security system gives parents piece of mind knowing that their newborn is safe and secure.

SSM Health Preschool & Child Care Center provides day care and preschool services for children from six weeks to 14 years on a full-time and part-time basis. The state-licensed nonprofit facility is near the hospital at 2112 S. Main St. Opened in June 2017, the SSM Health Cancer Care service includes a full-time oncologist/hematologist and infusion therapy center.

Maryville Public Library offers reading material for children and adults of all ages The Maryville Public Library, located at the intersection of Fifth and Main streets, was established in 1904.

Library hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday. The library is closed Sundays and holidays.

Internet access, wireless Internet, and printing/copying/scanning and faxing are available to the public at the library.

The library provides nearly 50,000 books and materials such as CDs, DVDs, books on CD, newspapers, and magazines, as well as thousands of e-books and downloadable audiobooks for kids and adults. The library also offers a number of other electronic resources, such as online foreign language learning software available to active cardholders.

Books will be delivered to the

homebound in Maryville on request.

Books are also available through interlibrary loan.

A reciprocal agreement with the B.D. Owens Library at Northwest Missouri State University allows Maryville Public Library patrons to use the academic library and university students to use the public library.

The library offers a leisure reading room, independent study rooms, a young adult area, a conference room and a community room which may be used by the public, a children's area, and elevator access.

Story Hour for preschoolers is conducted year-round. A summer reading program is conducted from late May through July for children ages birth to 18.

There are also weekly programs available for children from birth to three years old throughout the year, as well as children’s book clubs, a Lego Club, and a computer coding/maker’s club.

To obtain a library card, an application must be filled out and supplemented by a photo ID and two proofs of current address. Maryville residents within the library’s taxing district support the library through a 28-cent per $100 Assessed Valuation property tax levy.

Therefore, a library card is free to those households and property owners.

Individuals living outside Maryville’s taxing district may obtain a library card by paying a $38 per year non-resident fee. Nodaway County households who are food-stamp eligible may have

Founded as the Fifth District Normal School, the institution has evolved into a vibrant and diverse learning community with an enrollment of about 6,500 students hailing from 39 states and 35 countries. More than 700 faculty and staff are employed by the university, which offers classes on its Maryville campus and at Northwest-Kansas City at the Northland Innovation Center in Gladstone. In addition to bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, the university offers specialist and doctoral degrees as well as two-year certificate programs.

The university takes pride in its core competencies of being safe, trusted, invested and resourceful as well as its role as a steward of taxpayer dollars. It saved an estimated $66 million between 2012 and 2016 through cost containment and efficiency measures while a third-party economic impact study showed Northwest generates $617.5 million in added regional income – the equivalent of creating 9,465 jobs – for the region.

Furthering its regional impact, Northwest broke ground in 2017 on the Hughes Fieldhouse, a 137,250 square-foot, $20 million facility designed to serve a multitude of social, recreational and economic needs for the University and region.

When finished in 2018, it is expected to provide an additional economic impact of $23.8 million, the equivalent of creating 946 new jobs, for the region.

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.

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. Combined, the laptop and textbook rental programs save students nearly $7,300 during their four-year academic career.

The emphasis on hands-on experiences and technology at Northwest is reflected in the university’s high success and graduation rates. Northwest boasts a freshman retention rate of 71 percent and a graduation rate of 59 percent, which is in the 89th percentile of Northwest’s national peer group.

Additionally, 97 percent of Northwest bachelor’s degree earners and 99 percent of master’s degree earners report finding employment or continuing their education within six months of graduation.

A member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, Northwest also has a proven record on the playing field as well as in the classroom.

Northwest student-athletes have a student-athlete academic success rate of 79 percent.

The Bearcats have captured three of the last four NCAA Division II Football National Championships and are the owners of six overall in football program history, an NCAA Division II record. Additionally, the Bearcat men’s basketball team captured an NCAA Division II National Championship in 2017, making Northwest the first Division II institution to

Since 1993, Northwest has been Missouri’s official state arboretum. More than 1,300 trees of 125 different species cover the campus and fulfill both aesthetic and educational purposes.

MARYVILLE BOARD GAME CAFÉ

Maryville’s newest entertainment option is the Maryville Board Game Café,

which is scheduled to open in September 2017 at 324 N. Main Street.

There will not be free Wi-Fi, but there will be couches, chairs, tables, coffee, and “a ton of board games,” according to owners Scott and Thuy Copeland.

Located at the southwestern corner of N. Main and Fourth streets, the business is right on the Square – the social hub of Maryville – and right down the road from Northwest Missouri State University.

The front area will have a feel of a typi-

cal coffee shop, with chairs and tables for people to lounge around and talk.

The north wall will have shelves that will store the board games, with the Copelands hoping to have around 400 when all is said and done.

Across from that wall will be a place to get coffee and snacks. The Copelands hope to eventually incorporate a complete bistro-type menu into their offering as well.

The Café will be staffed with several employees, baristas, and “game gurus”

who will teach new games or answer questions about the variety. The gurus will also suggest games that players may enjoy.

There will be a small library fee charge for use of the games, which will go to expanding the library of games as well as replacing parts of games that may go missing.

For more information on when the Café opens, as well as its hours, visit their Facebook page, facebook.com/MaryvilleBoardGameCafe.

Mozingo Lake Recreation Park offers amenities for all Top quality outdoor recreation is only minutes away from Maryville at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park. There are numerous amenities at Mozingo Lake for anyone and everyone to enjoy.

MOZINGO LAKE RECREATION PARK

Mozingo Lake Recreation Park, located five miles east from downtown Maryville, is a 3,000 acre park containing

a 1,000 acre lake with 26 total miles of shoreline creating numerous inlets and coves conducive to freshwater fishing.

Mozingo Lake was ranked in the “Top 100 Bass Fishing Lakes in the United States” by Bassmaster’s Magazine and allows for tremendous leisure and sportfishing opportunities. Boating and skiing is permitted at Mozingo Lake from three boat docks – two of which are handicap accessible.

Additional amenities at Mozingo Lake include numerous trails, both paved and natural surface. Located on the west side of the lake is an approximately 7-mile natural surface multi-use trail that connects to the Equestrian Campground.

Equestrian enthusiasts, along with hikers, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts, enjoy utilizing this trail along with the quaint campground facilities. Mozingo also

features a 3.5-mile nature trail beginning at the southern edge of the park, with the trailhead located just off of Highway 136.

This nature trail features some unique features, such as a 70-foot walking bridge and a gazebo overlooking the lake. The gazebo provides an excellent spot for observing the local wildlife — 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, otter, red fox, and even bald eagles have been seen throughout the park.

Several large picnic shelters are available and other small picnic areas are scattered throughout the park, as well as a public swimming beach are available within the park. A group camp is also available at Mozingo Lake. The group camp is

made up of five rustic cabins that can sleep up to 65 individuals and a shower house. A multi-purpose building with a commercial kitchen can accommodate up to 100 people. The group camp is an excellent venue for church camps, family reunions, or even corporate retreats. More information on the group camp facilities and all amenities at Mozingo Lake can be found at www.mozingolake.com

GOLFING

Mozingo Lake Recreation Park is also home to 27-holes of world class golf courses. The oldest course, the Sechrest 18, was opened for play over 20-years ago and has been praised by USA Today as one of the “Top 10 golf courses under $50” and by Golf Digest for being a “role model for municipalities.” The Sechrest 18 is a beautiful and challenging golf course that provides an incredible golfing experience.

Sechrest 18 is located on approximately 250 acres of lush, rolling hills along the eastern shore of Mozingo Lake. The course features lush greens, well-kept fairways and challenging native grass rough, water and sand hazards in a setting that pays tribute to the area’s beautiful natural setting.

The experience at Mozingo Lake Recreation Park 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 the same year it was opened. The new Watson 9 Course features nine regulation greens on its 1,600-yard layout. An added feature is a large pitching and

2017 Our Town, Supplement to The Post – Tuesday, August 22, 2017 - Page 35 putting area specially designed for teaching and practice. The course was designed

by Kansas City-based golfing legend Tom Watson and largely funded through donations. The Watson 9 provides both a unique challenge for experienced golfers and a welcoming layout for beginner golfers. Since opening, the Watson 9 has attracted several competitive youth golf tournaments and has also seen a significant increase in the number of beginner youth golfers that attend one of the numerous junior golf camps held on the Watson 9. Given the quality of the design and course conditions, the Watson 9 is affordale and welcoming for all ages and abilities to play. Junior golfers only pay $5 and a portion of all green fees are donated to the local Junior Golf Committee to provide equipment and scholorships for any youth golfers in need.

The Mozingo Lake golf course is an excellent venue for any group outing or tournaments. While currently under construction, a renovated driving range will be available in spring 2018 and provides a fantastic amenity to begin your golf outing at Mozingo. For com-

plete information or to schedule tee times, contact the Mozingo Golf Course Pro Shop at 660-562-3864 or visit www. mozingolake.com.
