🌸 Rotary Connects the World: A Special Connection in Yamagata, Japan 🌏✨

During a recent trip to northern Japan, Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club Past President Ronald Kahn attended a presentation in Yamagata Prefecture highlighting the region’s designated Nationally Important Agricultural Heritage System.

The lecture centered on the region’s historic 500-year tradition of cultivating benibana (safflower) and the centuries-old, intricate craft of extracting rare, vibrant crimson dye from its golden petals. The speaker was 73-year-old Master Masaaki Konno—a renowned Safflower Technology Inheritor, Vice Chairman of the Yamagata Prefecture Safflower Producers’ Association, and leader of the Shirataka Beni Flower Blooming Association.

Amidst the fascinating talk, Ron noticed a familiar symbol displayed behind the presenter: an official Rotary banner.

At the end of the presentation, Ron approached Master Konno to ask about it. The moment he said the word "Rotary," Master Konno’s face beamed. Speaking through an interpreter, he shared his deep love for Rotary International, speaking passionately about our global commitment to peace, understanding, and goodwill.

Master Konno presented Ron with his club’s official Rotary banner to bring back across the Pacific, and Ron sent him a Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club banner via their guide, in the true spirit of international fellowship,

Back home in Delaware, Ron proudly presented the Yamagata banner to Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club President Dan Taylor—a tangible reminder of the unbreakable bond shared by 1.4 million Rotarians across 200+ countries.

Whether halfway around the globe in a quiet Japanese mountain valley or right here in Kent County, Rotary proves that a shared dedication to Service Above Self and international peace makes the world smaller and warmer. 🤝🕊️

Advancing Towards a Polio-Free World: The Final Push
As Rotarians, we are well aware that eradicating polio is our organization's flagship project. Recently, Rotarian Alex Vaughan visited the Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club to provide an update on the status of this initiative and the necessity of a final push to achieve a polio-free world. Alex showed a photo of his personal experience of contracting polio at 18 months old. He credited the subsequent physical therapy and attention by his mother to his good fortune of leading an active life for decades. He is now experiencing post-polio syndrome, a condition caused by the long-term effects of the virus. Alex emphasized that while wild polio virus is nearly eliminated globally, recent outbreaks in Pakistan and Afghanistan from March to October this year pose a significant threat to our collective progress. This threat is underscored by the recent polio cases in an unvaccinated population in New York, which were caused by the virus being transported undetected on a flight. Alex urged Rotarians to donate to the Rotary International's Polio Plus fund, which will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous donor in our district and 2:1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. What actions will you take to commemorate World Polio Day on October 24th? Your contribution could be the key to achieving a polio-free world.

Issues of concern to Delaware Citizens
State House Minority Whip Rep. Lyndon Yearick spoke with members of the Camden-Wyoming Rotary Club on October 7th, offering thoughts on the status of many key issues affecting their lives. Brief overview:
The need for more energy sources: Very real need with no quick solution. Restarting Indian River Power Plant with switch to natural gas is possible, but 5-10 years away.
Micro-hospital in Camden, DE: The 24x7 Emergency care would increase emergency access, which some citizens use in place of primary care, but there are legitimate concerns about plans for the patient’s care once the emergency issue is resolved. Decision on this is pending.
Property taxes: Kent is in the third year of re-assessment without major disruption, but current law requires re-assessment every 5 years, so more changes will come.
Data centers: A data center is not likely to be sited in Delaware.
Flock cameras: While they have proven benefits to law enforcement, they will probably be banned due to concerns about mis-use.
Incorporation fees: These corporate payments represent 30%-40% of the State’s revenue. Delaware still has an advantage with its Chancery Court and the volume of its legal precedents.
Planning for highways and school buildings: Changes are needed. There is a DELDOT sponsored event on October 14 from 4pm-7pm at Magnolia Fire Company regarding plans for that area. Concerned members are urged to attend.
