RI Presidents April 2013 Message

Rotary is an international organization, and when I travel for Rotary, I usually speak inEnglish. But it has been a long time since my last English exam, and when I am workingn Evanston, I always have a Japanese interpreter. It is important to understand everyword of the meetings, and it is important as well that the staff understand what I amsaying.

t was a new experience for me to speak Japanese to a group, and then hear my wordsspoken in English. Even now, I find it interesting. I hear new ways of expressing myself inEnglish, and I also have a small glimpse of what it must be like not to speak Japanese.But perhaps the most interesting moment came early on in my year as president-elect,when I was in a meeting with Rotary staff members. To be sure that we could communi-cate well, I had with me a Japanese interpreter. I spoke in Japanese, and she inter-preted what I said into English. We had a pleasant and productive meeting.After it was over, one member of the staff came up to me and asked, There is one word

heard you use many times in Japanese. I would like to know what it means. What is theword ichiban? I told her that ichiban in Japanese does not convey any philosophy orcomplicated thought. It simply means to be the best.But it made me think. Of all the words I had used in Japanese, of all the words she had heard over and over, this was theword she had heard the most. I did not realize I had used it so often. But for me, that one word, ichiban, is essential to hfeel about my job as a Rotarian, and as president of RI.

For me, Rotary service means beingichiban. It means doing your best, and being the best you can be. It means working hard as you can not for yourself, but for others. It means achieving as much as you can, to make other peoples lives bter.n the dictionary, ichibanmeans best. But in Rotary, best means something different. It means bringing Service AbovSelf into all of your thinking. It means looking at your own effort, not in terms of what it costs you, but in terms of what itcan give. In this way, we are inspired to do so much more. It is our job to see to it that our Rotary service is ichiban sothat we do the most we can to build Peace Through Service.

New world strategy aims to eradicate polio by 2018

WASHINGTON (AP) April 3, 2013 - A newglobal plan aims to end most cases ofpolio by late next year, and essentiallyeradicate the paralyzing disease by 2018 -f authorities can raise the $5.5 billionneeded to do the work, health officialssaid Tuesday.Part of the challenge will be increasingsecurity for vaccine workers who havecome under attack in two of the hardest-

hit countries. And the plan calls for chang-ng how much of the world protectsagainst polio, phasing out the long-usedoral vaccine in favor of a pricier but safershot version.ntense vaccination campaigns havedropped cases to a historic low, a goodopportunity for what's being called theendgame" strategy for this paralyzing dis-

ease, noted Dr. Rebecca Martin of the U.S.Centers for Disease Control and Preven-ion.We have a chance now, with the fewest

cases in the fewest places," she said, join-ing officials from the World Health Organi-zation, Gates Foundation and Rotary Inter-national to discuss the strategy that willbe finalized later this month.Officials acknowledged that financing thesix-year plan upfront will be difficult giventight government budgets. The moneywould cover vaccinations as well as themonitoring required to be sure polio really

is gone.Last year, authorities counted 223 casesof polio worldwide, down from 650 theyear before. Once a worldwide scourge,vaccinations began in the 1950s, andwere successful enough in developedcountries that a global fight for eradicationbegan in 1988. Now polio remains en-demic in parts of just three countries -Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria - whereall but six of last year's cases occurred.Other countries remain at risk, as travel-ers can spread the infectious disease to

the unvaccinated.Recent killings of vaccine workers in Pastan and Nigeria have made the anti-pocampaign more difficult, but it hasstopped and it won't, said WHO polio rector Dr. Hamid Jafari. Despite the tacks, those countries made progreagainst polio last year, he said.The new strategy says countries also mudeal with a smaller but real risk: po

cases caused by the vaccine itself. Thighly effective oral polio vaccine contalive, weakened virus that can occasionaregain strength and cause the very dease it was intended to prevent. A shversion of the polio vaccine is made okilled virus that poses no such risk. Tpolio-free U.S. switched to the shots ovedecade ago, but 144 countries still uthe oral vaccine. The new strategy calls them to begin phasing out oral vaccine2016.
