"I'm very disappointed," Planned Parenthood regional director Connie Cook said after the 10-minute special meeting. "This should have been decided on its merits, and I don't believe it was.

We are not going to go away. Planned Parenthood will open a clinic in the Quad-Cities as we were invited to do." Pro-life leaders declared the vote a victory in their campaign to block the clinic. "When you fight city hall, you wonder if anyone hears you," Life and Family Coalition spokeswoman Luana Stoltenberg said. "It's wonderful to see the citizens of Bettendorf have been heard." In its written recommendation, the commission said it found conflicting evidence as to whether a clinic performing abortions would hurt the value of neighboring property. Davenport's former St.

Luke's Hospital performed enthood of Greater Iowa's site plan for a women's health care clinic, saying the clinic would harm neighboring property values. Most of the nearly 100 audience members who packed council chambers and overflowed into the hallway burst Into cheers and applause after the 5-2 decision. The clinic proposed for a 2-acre lot at Tech and Commerce drives would provide women's health services including abortions.

All The Quad City Development Group honors companies for community involvement. A10 By RKa Paarson Staff writer MOLINE Deere Co. chairman Hans Becherer challenged the Quad-Cities' private sector Tuesday to step up its commitment to the Quad City Development Group and work together to make the community better. Membership in the development group has lagged in recent years as the local economy has picked up, said Mr. Becherer, keynote speaker at the development group's annual meeting at The Mark of the Quad-Cities.

About 300 people attended. "The message is loud and clear. Area companies and businesses must step up their support of the Quad City Development Group, if we expect it to continue attracting new businesses and new jobs as in the past," Mr. Becherer said. The development group's president, John Gardner, and chairman, Tom Robinson, "can do only so much on their own, without increased support and enthusiasm from our business and industry," he said.

"Big improvements have been made in recent years," he said, with a better housing supply, a more vigorous arts community, more hotel space and a first-class sports and entertainment center in The Mark. However, "more needs to be done for this area to fulfill its potential as a commercial hub of the upper Midwest," he said. Cooperation among the various communities has improved, "but we still compete for business at times, not as Quad City USA, but as Rock Island, or Bettendorf, Iowa," he said. "More broadly, however, we are part of the same economic family. What's good for Bettendorf helps East Moline.

What hurts Davenport is felt in Milan." The Quad-Cities must provide "a united front" for attracting industry, by developing a commu-nitywide program for placing heavy industry in one location and building office parks in another. "At a minimum, we should be able to come up with a common approach for each side of the river," Mr. Becherer said.

"When we had the staff meeting this morning to discuss grief counseling, several of his close friends stood up and spoke. How people felt about Dave was clearly written on their faces."
