MAYOR'S MOMENT
Concluded from p. 1
today, only I in 100, so the percentage of today's America
who have experienced the "military way of life" is about
17/o. However, that 17/o is the most dedicated and pro-
fessional group of individuals that you can find - when
you look at our service men and women of today in the
eye, you are very impressed with what is looking back
at you.
So remember, each time you see someone who is serv-
ing or has served our country, take time to say Thank
You. That's all most of them need and, in most cases, it
will mean more than any awards they have received.
So as a former 'Brother in Arms', I thank all Veterans
and their families for the sacrifices they have made in
defending freedom and ensuring the continued secu-
rity of our Nation!
I wish each and every one of you a Happy and Safe
Thanksgiving! Remember, Thanksgiving is a day we
pause to give thanks for what we htve and Veterans
Day is a day we give thanks to the people who fought
for the things we have ....

-=€ir With FreS]i, Seasonal Produce
by James Parker
(NAPS)---You can jazz up
everyday meals by cooking
with seasonal produce and
considering these fresh
answers to questions about
keeping mealtime healthy
and delicious:
1. What tastes best cooked
on the grill? During warm
months, vegetables like
squash, peppers and eggplant
are all in excellent supply
and are great for outdoor
grilling. Grilling peaches are
a delirious dessert option. As
weather cools back down,
figs, bananas and pineapples
taste great on the grill.
2. How can you make a
typical salad sing anytime of
year? A great salad, no mat-
ter the time of year, pses in-
season ingredients. In the
heat of summer, add berries,
peaches or nectarines to your
leaf-based salad. Cherry
tomatoes, cucumbers and
basil are all excellent in the
summer and fall. Turn to
apples, figs, pears, grapes and
citrus to jazz up fall salads.
3. Which ingredients will
add a burst of flavor and
nutritional value to an ordi-
nary vegetable side dish?
Fresh herbs can really add
flavor to any dish. For eLm-
ple, try chopped mint over
melons, oregano in a sautd
or parsley sprinkled on a
salad. Nuts are nutritionally
dense and add texture to any
salad or side.
You may also care to try
this recipe from the experts
on taste at Whole Foods
Market, in which the rich-
hess of smoky grilled vegeta
bles is well complemented by
the creaminess of goat cheese:

removed and gills

2 zucchini, sliced
lengthwise
1 red onion, cut into 4
even slices
1 red bell pepper,
thickly sliced
3 tablespoons bal-
samic vinegar
I tablespoon
extra-virgin olive oil
teaspoon sea salt
teaspoon freshly
ground black pepper
4 ounces Humboldt
Fog or other fresh
goat cheese
4 whole wheat pitas or
thin sandwich buns,
halved
Preheat a grill to medi-
um heat. Brush mush-
rooms, zucchini, onion
and bell pepper with vine-
gar and oil and sprinkle
with salt ahd pepizv r. Grin
vegetables, covered, 8 to
12 minutes or until ten-
der, turning once halfway
through cooking (mush.
rooms and onions will
take longest). Set vegeta.
bles aside to let cool, then
roughly chop. Spread
cheese in pitas and stuff
with vegetables.

deep sentimentality these buildings have within the
community. If individuals are interested in structural
components of the Old School building or any of the
other buildings (McLaughlin Building or the two metal
storage buildings) they would need to contact Dan
Cretors with DeCarlo Demolition at 515-243-1214. Per
the bid specifications, the buildings are now property
of DeCarlo Demolition.
July 2012-The School Board appointed a SIAC Task
Force Committee to review the facility needs for Cen-
tral Office and School Maintenance operations.
October 2012-The SIAC Task Force Committee issued
a recommendation to the School Board. The Commit-
tee recommended the Board to take action to move the
offices and maintenance operations out of the buildings
at 906 School Avenue and relocate to a flex building
property at 380 Wright Road.
December 2012-The Board entered into a purchase
agreement to purchase the flex building property lo-
cated at 380 Wright Road.
February 2013 -April 2013-The future move of Cen-
tral Office was listed on each regular monthly meeting
agenda, offering an opportunity to public input. The
District had also engaged in conversations with City
offidals regarding the future of the site. The City in-
formed the Board that the property was zoned R-l,
single-family residential. During this time the Board
commissioned a professional property appraiser to com-
plete a market valuation of the property. The appraiser
determined that the highest and best use for the prop-
erty would be a residential housing development. The
appraiser recommended that the lots be cleared, with
the exception of the one-story building, and the prop-
erty be sold as vacant lots for new home construction.
Estimated cost for demolition of old school and metal
building was $110,000-$125,000. Estimated land value
as vacant lots would be a minimum of $145,358.
May 2013-The Board took action to advertise the
property for sale "as is" with the intent of receiving of-
fers for potential uses of the property with the existing
buildings. Offers were due June 30, 2013.
July 8, 2013-The Board received one offer, submitted
by the City of Norwalk to acquire the property for a
price of $1 if the School District agreed to remove all of
the buildings except for the one-story wooden build-
ing. The City would acquire the property to be used for
a community park and primary age children's recre-
ational fields. The Board considered the City's offer
along with the appraiser recommendation. The Board
decided they had a fiduciary responsibility to see if th@
property could be sold as vacant property for the pur-
pose of a housing development. Offers to purchase the
property as vacant property for development were due
September 11.
September 12-The Board received one offer to pur-
chase the property. The Board did not have a full quo-
rum at this special meeting and decided to defer any
action until the next regular meeting September 16.
September 16-A full quorum of board members was
present. The Board decided to reject the offer, move for-
ward with the demolition of the buildings and then
possibly re-offer the property for sale at a future date.
September 27-School administration advertised the
demolition project and received three bids on Septem-
ber 27. The low bidder was DeCarlo Demolition Com-
pany of Des Moines. Demolition is scheduled to begin
November 11 and is scheduled on or around December
15.
October 9-Board Member Rick Kaul, Superintendent
Denny Wulf, Business Manager Kate Baldwin and
Grounds Director Tom McLaughlin held a neighbor-
hood meeting with residents that own property adja-
cent to the school property/lot. The purpose of the meet-
ing was to update the neighbors on the process used to
determine the future of the school property and the
timeline for the demolition project. Four individuals
representing three households attended the meeting.
October 15-Business Manager Kate Baldwin and
GrOunds Director Tom McLaughlin held a community-
wide meeting to update any interested parties on the
process used to determine the future of the school prop-
erty and the timeline for the demolition project. Four
individuals attended this meeting. Two were residents
of the Norwalk Community School District and two
were out-of-district residents.
October 20-The Old School Building was available
for final tour by community members and alumni.
I do not object to people looking at their watches when
I am speaking. But I strongly object when they start
shaking them to make certain they are still going.
-Lord Birkett
