The funds that wilt be collected are spelled out in
both the question and by the Iowa Code. In Nor, walk
50% of the money will be used for capital improve-
ments for recreation, convention, cultural or enter-
tainment facilities. Other uses will be in the General
Fund, but could be used by a City Council for economic
development, marketing or another purpose allowed
by law.
It is a tax, but it is not a direct tax on you. You pay
it now in places where you travel whether that is
business, pleasure or personal and it is a fact of life.
It is something that Norwalk needs and if we are
fortunate, to land a, facility like this, it will be an
important revenue resource.

A funeral mass was

Nicholson began work-
ing at the UI College of
Medicine's Department
of Occupational and En-
vironmental Health
starting in 1988 as a re-
search assistant, doing
field work for the Iowa
State-Wide Rural
Well-Water Survey.
That study has been of
international impor-
tance in documenting
private rural well wa-
ter contamination by
farm chemicals and has
helped raise awareness
of this important issue.

years, he was Project
Coordinator for two
studies addressing occu-
pational exposures at
the Iowa Army Ammu-
nition Plant (IAAAP)
outside of Burlington;
the Burlington Atomic
Energy Commission
Plant - Former Worker
Program, and the
IAAAP Munitions
Workers Study.
)ks coordinator, he
was the primary go-be-
tween between the re-
search staff and the
funding agencies at the
US Departments of En-
ergy and Defense.
Mr. Nicholson was
well known to his col-
leagues for his positive
attitude, sense of humor
and his gift for connect-
ing easily with people
of all walks of life.
Survivors include his
wife, Beth; two daugh-
ters, Morgan and Emma,
and one son, Adam, all
of Iowa City; his fa-
ther, James B. of Wash-
ington; one brother,
Jimmy (Pat) of Slidell,
LA; one sister, Teresa
(David) Fleming of
North English and a
dog, Sadie.
He was preceded in
death by his mother,
Alice, and his father-
in-law, Francis Dono-
hue.
In honor of Mr.
Nicholson, the Univer-
sity of Iowa flag was
flown at half-mast over
the Old Capitol Oct. 24.

tion regarding Mr.
Nicholson "s ties to

cluded in the original
obituary we received
