When Rotary clubs around the world were called into action to fundraise for the newly established PolioPlus program, the Rotary Club of Kingston launched its plan under the guidance of president John Boone and committee chair and past president Reg Shadbolt. We raised $79,000 that year!

To begin, every member was asked to donate US$100; each donation was enough to immunize 100 children in the world. The committee then developed a public fundraising campaign, and anyone donating more than $200 was given a certificate of appreciation.

Hot on the heels of the Iveco S-WAY Magirus Deutz comes the limited edition A-WAY Stratocruiser.
Built to commemorate Seddon Atkinson’s 51st anniversary, the A-WAY is packed with a range of optional creature comforts, including a heater and air suspension for the vinyl-covered driver’s seat.
In-cab entertainment consists of a MW/LW radio, but buyers can upgrade to an 8-track cartridge player.
Power is supplied by a specially de-rated 180hp version of Iveco’s Cursor9 engine, which has been matched to an Eaton Twin-Splitter.
Available for special order today only (1 April), the first five A-WAYs sold will come with a pair of free Oldham Athletic season tickets.
Government wildlife officials released two more critically endangered red wolves into the wild in North Carolina and could place several more captive-bred wolves into the habitat this year, according to a new plan submitted to a federal judge.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said in the filing March 1 that it brought two male wolves from a Florida wildlife refuge, paired them with wild female wolves from North Carolina and let them loose in February. One of the male wolves was later killed by a car. The service said it also plans to release another captive-bred pair into the wild this summer and will aim to introduce captive-bred pups into any wild litters born in the breeding season that runs through May. Releases of captive-bred wolves had largely been halted by the government in recent years.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has placed captive wolves with wild ones in hopes of saving the species in North Carolina. One male has disappeared and another was killed on the highway.
