OUR DISTRICT 5180 GOVERNOR’S MESSAGEDear Rotarians,
I am amazed at how much our Rotary clubs have done these past seven months. Recently, your club president or Assistant Governor reported at the presidential mid-year retreat on some outstanding projects, fundraisers and grants you have been doing. Great work everyone! Our Rotary Foundation is also doing well and now is a great time to start off the year by making a difference with your contribution to the Rotary Foundation.
Our District Conference is about three months away! This year’s con-ference will be at the Double Tree Berkeley Marina in Berkeley, CA. A lot of planning has taken place to make this conference the best ever! We have plenty of Bay Area excur-sions scheduled for you and your family, plus club hospitality suites! The theme is “Sports, come dressed to play”. Go to the district website Rotary5180.org to sign up today and avoid being shut out!
February is Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month. I recently returned from attending the Rotary World Peace Conference
2016 in Ontario, CA. This was one of five Peace Conferences and the only one held in the United States. The two-day event was filled with over 100 speakers sharing great stories, their programs, ideas and awareness on how Rotary clubs and individuals have done, and can do more, around the world. Some of the topics included Terrorism, Peace in Schools, and Using Social Media for Peace and here at home, Human Trafficking. Former Attorney General Dan Lundgren delivered a key note speech highlighting the success of our local Courage House helping those transitioning from Human Trafficking. It may be hard to believe but Sacramento
is ranked one of the top 5 cities for Human Trafficking. Other outstand-ing speakers included former CIA Operatives rescuing lost and stolen children and also actress Sharon Stone with her new documentary FEMME Women Healing the World. There were plenty of other speakers from different parts of the world sharing their success stories as well. For future reference, I highly rec-ommend attending a Rotary World Peace Conference!
Locally we have upcoming a Rotary Peace Forum on March 10, 2016 at Consumnes River College WINN Center, details are on the district website.
LIVE Rotary!
Yours in Rotary,
Glenn Fong2015-2016 District 5180 Governor

American Heart Health Month is recognized each February and blood donors help patients with heart conditions get back to health. From newborns to elders, heart conditions may invoke the need for blood.
Rotarians can help patients like Faith and Roger.
Nine-year-old Faith Schaad has endured nearly 20 heart procedures since her birth, countless blood transfusions and recently celebrated her very first year without a hospitalization. Senior Roger Stenbock, amateur ham radio operator, received a heart transplant in his early seventies after many years of cardiac health issues. Both Faith and Roger thank blood donors for their lifesaving gifts.
Rotarians and friends/family are all invited to show some heart this February by donating blood. Make sure to use your Rotary’s Club name! If you donate blood soon, you can donate at least twice before the end of the Rotary Blood Drive Challenge (April 30, 2016). Pull your club up in the rankings!
Put your heart into life this February. Donate blood soon!
ROTARIANS HAVE THE HEART TO SAVE LIVES!

ROTARIANS PRESENT DICTIONARIES TO YAV PEM SUAB STUDENTS
Members of the Rotary Club of Pocket/Greenhaven presented dic-tionaries to the third grade students at Yay Pem Suab Academy. The hardbound dictionaries with thir-ty-five thousand words, pictures and definitions are designed to be valuable to students throughout their educational career.
Dictionaries were personalized and each student was announced and called to the podium to receive the dictionary from a Rotarian. The excitement continued as students began exploring the volume from cover to cover.
The Academy is a charter school of the Sacramento City Unified School District and is located in the former
Lisbon Elementary School. A stan-dard curriculum is taught and the academy is open to all students. Electives are available in art, music, Hmong language development, and sports.
While the presentation of dictio-naries is one of the highlights of the Rotary year, the Pocket/Greenhaven Club service projects began with an entry and information booth at the Pocket 4th of July Parade, sponsor-ing an Interact Club at Kennedy High School and co-sponsoring a Rotaract Club at Sacramento City College, Garcia Bend Levee Cleanup with Councilman Rick Jennings, teaming with the Red Cross to install smoke detectors, providing hand-written cards for Christmas boxes to soldiers,
don at ion s to t h e R o t a r y Foundation and worldwide po-lio eradication program, and b e l l - r i n g i n g with the Salvation Army
T he Rot a r y C lub of Po c ke t/Greenhaven is one of 41 clubs in District 5180 and has been honored as one the district’s four outstanding clubs each of the past four years.
The club meets Thursday, 7:30 a.m., at Aviator’s Restaurant (Executive Airport) and information is available at pocketgreenhavenrotary.org.

Mike Mecey (center back) and his wife Ginny (far right) have made it a regular holiday activity to provide extra turkeys for the local Salvation Army. This year they decided to offer the Rotary Club of Roseville the opportunity to participate with them, in addition to the other food drives we already coordinate. On short notice, Mike was able to arrange donations of cash and food totaling nearly $1,000. The Salvation Army joined us for lunch this week to express their thanks in meeting almost all of their Thanksgiving food needs and to let us know that ap-proximately 400 people will be able to eat based on this donation.
If you're interested in joining leaders in the Roseville community who aim to make a difference each and every day, just like Mike, then please join us for lunch Thursdays at noon. We're dark for Thanksgiving this week, but we're always looking for people who support service.

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE
Rotary Youth Exchange RYE is the opportunity of a lifetime for more than 8,000 students who partici-pate each year by sharing cultures to help foster global understanding. RYE is a study-abroad chance for young people to spend a full year as an international student hosted by local Rotary clubs. It is a positive life-changing experience for them.
During last year’s district confer-ence, I had the opportunity to meet many of our District’s 2015-16 RYE students. RYE truly is a two-way exchange. We Rotarians get to
“travel” in time and culture through our interactions with these amazing young people.
As a dental professional for over 30 years, I wondered if the RYE stu-dents were receiving preventative dental care during their stay in the United States. The answer is—no they weren’t. And I didn’t find that an acceptable answer. I contemplat-ed how I might bring other Rotarian dental professionals in District 5180 and our 10 Sacramento area RYE students together to ensure healthy smiles are among their memories.
The resulting answer: Local dental professionals were receptive to my idea and graciously offered to pro-vide a complimentary preventative dental exam, cleaning and preven-tative dental care kit. Dental kits were donated by Roseville Rotarian, Dr Kayla Nguyen of A+ Dental Care.
The “Exchange Smiles” Program was created and implemented none too soon! One of the RYE students experienced a dental emergency the weekend after receiving her kit.
District 5180 RYE Students with Rotarian JoAnne Tanner center
Ann Hively, transitional host Mom shared this story:
“Greetings! Thanks to the wonderful dental program put together by Passport Rotarian, JoAnne Tanner, Malu was examined first by dentist Dr. Ramouna Karvar of Fair Oaks concerning a possible gum infection after a wisdom tooth extraction in Peru. Dr. Karvar's X-rays showed a possible root canal problem so Malu was referred to Fair Oak's Rotarian and endodontist, Dr. Richard Chang. Fortunately his conclusion was that it was an infection, not a root canal problem. After taking antibiotics for a week, we returned to Dr. Chang Monday afternoon. The infection has cleared up! All 3 of these exams were given with NO charge, and in each case they made time to see Malu the day I called!!! We were so im-pressed with the generosity and kindness of both den-tists and thank JoAnne for creating this great program for our exchange students!”

IRA Charitable Rollover Now Permanent!
The law that allows you to make a tax-free gift
from your individual retirement account (IRA)
directly to charity has been reinstated and
made permanent! Known as the IRA charitable
rollover, this law no longer has an expiration
date so you are free to make annual gifts to The
Rotary Foundation from your IRA this year
and well into the future.
The recently reinstated law allows individuals
70½ and older the ability to transfer up to
$100,000 from their individual retirement
accounts directly to a qualified charitable
organization without being subject to federal
income taxes on the distribution.
Are you eligible?
• You must be at least age 70½ or older at
the time of the gift.
• You may transfer up to $100,000
directly from your IRA. This opportunity
applies only to IRAs and not other types of
retirement plans.
• You may transfer the funds outright to
one or more qualified charities.
• The legislation does not permit direct
transfers to charitable trusts, donor advised
funds, charitable gift annuities or supporting
organizations.
An IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all
or part of your minimum distribution
requirement, and is a great way to meet your
Paul Harris Society goal through a gift to the
Annual Fund!

POLIO ERADICATION: IS 2016 THE YEAR?As Yogi Berra (or Niels Bohr or Samuel Goldwyn) is supposed to have said, it’s difficult to make pre-dictions, especially about the future. It’s especially dangerous to try to predict the behavior of infectious diseases, when small unpredict-abilities in climate or trade or the behavior of governments can bring a problem that we thought was han-dled roaring back to life.
But as 2016 opens, it is fair to say that the disease public health ex-perts are pinning their hopes on, the one that might truly be handled this year, is polio. There were fewer cases last year than ever in history: 70 wild-type cases, and 26 cases caused by mutation in the weakened virus that makes up one of the vac-cines, compared to 341 wild-type infections and 51 vaccine-derived
ones the year before. Moreover, those wild natural infections were in just two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the vaccine-de-rived cases were in five. The noose is tightening.
The most that health authorities can hope for this year is to end transmission of polio. The ultimate goal is eradication, which has hap-pened only twice—for one human disease, smallpox, and one animal one, rinderpest. To declare a disease eradicated requires that the entire world go three years without a case being recorded. If there are no polio cases in 2016, eradication might be achieved by the end of 2018.
Which would make for nice round numbers, because the polio eradi-cation campaign began in 1988. It
is safe to say that no one expected it would take anywhere near this long; the smallpox eradication campaign, which inspired the polio effort, reached its goal in 15 years.
Smallpox was declared eradicat-ed in 1980, so long ago that most people have no knowledge of how devastating a disease it was, or even what a case of the disease looked like. (There are survivors left, but they are aging; the last person in-fected in the wild, Ali Maow Maalin of Somalia, died in 2013.) In the same way, we’ve forgotten how dif-ficult it is to conduct an eradication campaign. Smallpox was the first campaign that succeeded, but it was the fifth one that global authorities attempted. In its success, it demon-strated what any future campaign would need: not just a vaccine that

civilians could administer, but an easy-to-access lab network, granular surveillance, political support, huge numbers of volunteers, and lots and lots of money.
In its own trudge to the finish, the polio eradication campaign has stumbled over many of those, from local corruption to extremist oppo-sition to the still almost unbelievable interference of the CIA (which I covered here and here), along with the virus’s own protean ability to cross borders (to China) and oceans (to Brazil).
But now, at last, the end does look in sight. I asked Carol Pandak, director of the Polio Plus program at Rotary International — which since 1988 has lent millions of volunteers and more than a billion dollars to the eradication campaign — how she thinks the next 12 months will go.
“We are getting closer,” she told me. “We have only two endemic countries left. Of the three types of the virus, type 2 was certified eradicated in September, and there have been no type 3 cases globally for three years. And Pakistan and Afghanistan have goals to interrupt transmission inter-nally in May 2016.”
The diminishment of wild polio paradoxically creates greater vul-nerability to vaccine-derived polio, which happens when the weakened live virus used in the oral vaccine mutates back to the virulence of the wild type. The only means of defusing that threat is to deploy the killed-virus injectable vaccine,
which is widely used in the West but until recently was considered too expensive and complex to deliver in the global south.
To begin the transition, Pandak said, countries that still use the oral vaccine have agreed to give one dose of the injectable as part of routine childhood immunizations for other diseases. That should strengthen children’s’ immune reactions to po-lio, so that the reversion to wild type — which occurs as the weakened virus replicates in the gut — does not take place.
In the smallpox campaign, when eradicators thought they were almost done, there was a freak weather event—the worst floods that Bangladesh had experienced in 50 years—that triggered an internal migration and redistributed the disease. Polio is just as vulnerable to last-minute disruptions, especially since the two remaining endemic countries are hotspots of unpredict-ability. Travelers from Pakistan ac-tually carried polio into Afghanistan in August.
“In Pakistan, the army has commit-ted to providing protection for vac-cinators in conflict areas,” Pandak told me, “and another strategy that has been successful has been to set up border posts to immunize people as they are fleeing areas of conflict and military operations. I have seen Rotary volunteers staffing 24/7 ki-osks in train stations and toll booths, so that we can get people wherever they happen to be.”
There is no question that hur-dles remain. By the World Health Organization’s order, polio is still considered a “public health emer-gency of international concern,” which requires countries where the disease is extant to either ensure its citizens are vaccinated before leaving, or prevent their crossing the border. And polio still lives quiescently in lab freezers all over the world, and those will have to be searched and their contents elim-inated lest a lab accident bring the disease alive again (a warning that was recently circulated for rinder-pest as well). Plus, up til now, the injectable vaccine has been made by starting with a virus that is not only live but virulent, posing the risk that a lab accident that could release it; British scientists announced on New Year’s Eve that they may have found a way to weaken it while still yielding a potent vaccine.
When it goes, if it does, polio will gift the world not only with its absence, but also with the abundant health infrastructure that was set up to contain and eliminate it, and can be turned to other uses. When I talked to Pandak, she sounded excited at the possibility that countries and volunteers would be able to turn their attention away from a single disease and toward ensuring the overall health of children.
“We have been doing this for 30 years,” she said. “We’ll continue to fundraise, advocate and raise awareness to the last case. We are committed to seeing this to the end.”
