Thousands of runners who braved the scorching heat early Saturday, July 24 for the Bix 7 race got a glimpse of the heart of the Hilltop Campus Village (HCV) in Davenport.
Though they likely did not stop then for a stirring jolt of coffee or admire some of the area’s striking architecture, Scott Tunnicliff and Molly
Molly Otting Carlson will start as new HCV executive director on Aug. 2.
Otting Carlson certainly hope they’ll be back soon to take in all the area has to offer.
Tunnicliff – an avuncular, dedicated 66-year-old economic development leader – recently retired as the first HCV director in its 12-year history. Carlson, a 52-year-old Davenport native, left her job as a vice president at Visit Quad Cities to take the reins of the nonprofit (and only Main Street Iowa organization in Scott County) as of Aug. 2.

Walter Suza: Let’s end poverty to create a better future for all children

I can still feel how the texture of the umbilical cord felt inside my hand as I squeezed the handles of the scissors. After severing one of the conduits of life, I turned to the doctor and said, “This is a miracle.”
A miracle that couldn’t be sufficiently explained by my science education. The child in my hands was breathing as I breathed, yet just a few hours earlier had been living underwater.
I believe children come into the world to teach us to love instead of hate, to create friends instead of enemies, to seek peace instead of conflict.
