“Polio, The Rest of the Story”Plenary Session I

Following the introduction by PDG Joe Clark, D7230 (Riverdale, NY) Jo Anne Settles, RN, re-viewed with us where we are with respect to the eradication of Polio; how we as Rotarians have been an integral component, along with our WHO, UNICEF, governments of the world and CDC partners, in the effort to finally rid the world of one of the most devastating illness we have known. For the past 4000 years, this tiny virus has killed and crippled millions of children. With its partners, RI provides a good portion of the funds and many thousands of volunteers. But more than that,

Rotary provides the tenacity to keep the effort going and get the job done. What is Polio? First, it is incurable. It is a virus that enters the body through the mouth and throat, reproduces in the intestines, moves into the blood stream and throughout the body, causes paralysis (usually of the lower limbs) and sometimes infects the base of the brain causing paralysis of the respiratory centers, leading to death. Polio’s three viruses are Type 1 – the most dangerous, most spreadable, most paralyzing; Type 2 – weakest – in fact, GONE from the face of the earth; and Type 3 – common, easier to control and eliminate, and is less devastating. It is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Poor sanitation can increase the rate of transmission from person to person. HOWEVER, man is the only known reservoir; the virus does not replicate anywhere else. Recounting the history of the discovery and development of the polio vaccines, Jo Anne described how the project to eradicate Polio began when Rotarians started a polio immunization drive in the Philippines. in 1979. After a severe outbreak oc-curred, Rotarians thought they could help with this and the first 3-H grant awarded went to this polio effort. It

Welcome

PDG Fernando Favela, 2011 POR Chairman, warmly welcomed attendees to this year’s reunion. He emphasized that going back to basics while accepting new challenges is important as Rotary leaders to keep up-to-date on changes in older programs and the development of new programs. He also reminded us that good will shall always prevail and serves to keep us all united in the cause of Rotary the world over.

D5340 Governor David Breeding also greeted an audience of over 120 Rotarians and spouses and after acknowledging the activities of his southern California district this past year, he extended an invitation to attend Wednesday evening’s “Bye Polio, Thanks Rotary” lighting ceremony on the Star of India, the second-oldest sailing ship in the world. Additionally, it was Restaurant Week in San Diego, with over 168 participating businesses offering their unique selection of fine food beginning Sunday, January 16th and running through Friday, January 21st.

the seeds were sown that we could eliminate polio.

Rotarians were the 1st who had the vision/dream of a polio free world. In 1985, the goal was set. Many of you have contributed to the eradication effort through your contributions and hands-on support of NIDs. In 1988 the WHO finally caught up with us and figured out that this group – YOU Rotarians – were serious. You need to realize that it was the Rotarian minds that decided that this was possible and set out to do this and that year WHO declared this a worldwide initiative. Since that time, massive National Immunization Days (NID’s) have been held in Africa, Middle East, China, and others to where today only four endemic countries remain: Nigeria, Pakistan, India and Afganistan.

Rotary’s $200 USD Million Challenge began 1 January 2008 and runs until 30 December 20121. Each club challenged to organize fund-raising events aimed at the general public. 2. Clubs commit to a goal of at least $2,000 USD per year for the next three years.3. All Rotarians invited to participate, with special emphasis on new members and clubs.

For success we must continue National Immunization Days (NID’S), and funds must still be given. It is the last out of the last inning of the game – the very hardest part -- and we must dig deep into our resolve to finish this effort, Jo Anne emphasized,for “the children of the world are watching you and cheering you on, to give it your all; the children of the world are waiting for you to win the battle.”

PolioPlus requires “no tolerance to lose”

And Bill Gates has said: “We don’t let children die because it is fatiguing to save them.”

Concluding Jo Anne shared the following list of Web Sites where you may find additional information on the effort to eradicate the disease:

There were no questions from the audience.

Plenary Session II

PDG Ron Goodsite D5500 (Tucson, AZ) introduced Rotarian Paul McQueary, member of the San Juan County East Rotary Club in Farmington, NM. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Paul worked for many years as a project engineer on several bridge projects across the Midwest and down to the Mississippi coast. He moved to Farmington, NM in 1991 and became the owner and operator of two successful businesses, including an embroidery business that he and his wife Jill operated together. Paul joined the San Juan Rotary Club of Farmington, NM in 1994 and since then has contributed many volunteer hours to Rotary projects. He was Chairman of the Board for a Juvenile reintegration program, member of a San Juan County juvenile solutions committee, worked on a gang graffiti clean up committee and has chaired many other Rotary

projects. Paul has been Chairman of San Juan County Rotary’s “Don’t Meth With Us” program since its incep-tion five years ago in 2006. There are currently 15 club members on the committee and 12 of these members are planning on attending the RI Convention in New Orleans in May to further promote this program. Paul and committee members have presented the program to Rotary clubs in several states, two District Conferences, the Zone 21b/27 Institute in Oklahoma City, and the Rotary International convention in Montreal. The program has spread to Rotary Clubs across the USA, Canada & as far away as New Zealand.

Quoting PRIP Frank Devlin, Paul stated that now is the time for Rotarians to “Create Awareness, Take Action” in order to stop the worldwide epidemic of Methamphetamine addiction. No country nor community is immune to its people becoming addicted to this drug. In Thailand, Paul says, the authorities are shooting twenty addicts/day. In New Zealand meth is known as “Pee.” In our society, the more acceptable term is “meth,” although it is also know by other names, such as Speed, Crank, Ice, Crystal, Glass and Chalk. Meth today is the fastest spread-ing drug crisis ever known. NO ONE is Immune; no town is unaffected. From his CD, which was made available after his presentation, Paul showed graphic photos of several “Faces of Meth,” examples of what this drug does to an addict in a very short time before the addict dies, revealing open sores and “Meth Mouth” in several photos. Furthermore, dealers and drug gangs are now lacing candy to give to unsuspecting children. They are making chocolate-, bubble gum-, strawberry-flavored candies, gum balls and even meth in a straw!

Drug dealers are targeting native American children living on reservations in the United States because of “sparse law enforcement and easy prey” Paul continued, “we have to stop the demand for this and other drugs. The answer to the problem is prevention. We need to ‘break the cycle.’” Citing what the San Juan Rotary Club has been doing to remedy the problem, Paul informed us that the target groups are fifth graders, three-fourth of whom know what meth is and one-half know someone who is actually using meth. Because of this epidemic, home invasions are on the rise everywhere. Drugs and drug wars in Mexico last year, for example, killed more than 30,000 people.

Denial seems to be very common among parents. Many parents are not spending time talking with their children about drugs because their “kids don’t do drugs!” Paul’s CD, available to you upon request, presents several ex-amples of programs which the Farmington Rotary Club has implemented to prevent meth addiction. One such program demonstrates “Talking with the Fifth Graders.” Another program involve several full-time Rotarians who serve on the native American Task Force. A third program is a short PSA shown before the start of each movie; 1.5 million people/year have watched this PSA.

“Don’t Meth With US”

The result of all these efforts? Since January 2010 to present there have been no arrests for meth use in Farming-ton. And, there has been a 64% decrease in overall drug use during this same time period.

Concluding, Paul emphasized the need to attract financial support from our non-Rotary partners, several of which in New Mexico have contributed from $1,000 USD to $10,000 USD to assure continual success for the programs.

There followed a short Q & A session. PDG Rod Eide, D5320 asked about the expenses for running these pro-grams. “Don’t Meth With Us” T-Shirts (with the graphic displayed below), wristbands and CDs constitute a large part of ongoing costs. PRIP Frank Devlin asked Paul to compare meth use with marijuana use. Paul’s answer: “stay away from marijuana; it takes away your ambition.” Cesar Reyes, D4110, Mexico, wanted clarification about so-called “recreational” drugs such as marijuana and alcohol. Paul stated that these drugs usually give one a “light buzz” then “wear off.” Meth, however does not wear off; it hits your brain’s dopamine pathway at first making you feel that the “lights are going off in Vegas.” But, he noted, the more you use, the more meth destroys your dopamine production. Eventually, you die. The last question was from PRID Sam Greene, D5340, who wanted to know how one starts this kind of program. Paul stated that you need to begin with fifth graders, “before any-one else gets to them.”[Editor’s Note: for further information, go to: http://www.rotary.org/en/MediaAndNews/TheRotarian/Pages/Meth1008.aspx

It would have provided the type of travel (first class, business class, or economy class) to which Rotary senior leaders would be entitled.

However, the RI president, past presidents, the RI president-elect, the Rotary Foundation Trustee chairman, the General Secretary and their partners would travel at the highest available of business or first class, but once their term in such office is completed, would travel at the highest available of business or economy class. RI directors and Foundation trustees would, during their terms in office, travel at the lowest available of first class or business class. Currently, the Rotary Code of Policies provides for a travel policy that states that: RI is committed to using per capita dues and contributions wisely by ensuring that those traveling at the expense of RI and its Foundation do so at the least expensive available cost, consistent with good service and RI’s travel policy. All individuals traveling at RI expense are encouraged to conserve the funds of the organization.

The statement of purpose and effect would have to be 300 or fewer words in length, describe the issue Resolutions relating to programs or problem that the proposed legislation is intended to address and provide an explanation of how the proposed legislation would resolve the issue or problem. These statements would be mailed to all Rotarians who receive copies of all duly proposed legislation.

Don Schoening, Ph.D., is an unusual educational leader because of his broad range of experience in the private sector. He has been successful in community development, fruit production, sales, marketing, public speaking and consulting. Dr. Schoening has been invited to make presentations across the United States and in foreign countries about the effective management of both private and public organizations.

He has leadership experience in business, finance, coaching, and as a Rotary club president. He has authored a book entitled :Running a Juice Stand: the 6 E’s of Wise Management. His seven-minute preview of his presentation for Plenary Session VI was entertaining and informative.

Duane Sterling, Rotary Centers Committee member and aide to RI president Ray Klin-ginsmith, introduced Ray as a “doer of things.” Ray welcomed all past officers back to the Hyatt, noting that past officers are not “second class citizens of Rotary, that 85% of past officers are major donors. He spoke briefly about RIPE Kalyan Banerjee and then gave an overview of the process by which the new General Secretary, John Hewko, was selected for this position. He provided us, too, with an overview of the musical enter-

tainment to be presented in New Orleans at the International Convention. Some of the entertainers being The King ‘N’ Trio, 200 Youth Exchange Students, Simon Estes, opera star who not only sings opera but also performs roadway songs. He also sings with youth exchangees and with a 32-member Capetown choir. Michael Martin Murphey will sing “Cowboy Logic” and Lacey Dalton, a Pennsylvania country musician, will perform her original composition, “We are Rotary.” Ray emphasized the importance of developing RI’s public image to move us into this new century, and concluded that we need to preserve and perpetuate the Spirit of Rotary.
