The World Health Organization has officially removed India from the list of polio-endemic countries. Ghulam Nabi Azad, India's minister of Health and Family Welfare, made the announcement at the Polio Summit 2012 in New Delhi on 25 February. Azad said that he had been informed of WHO’s action by its director-general, Dr. Margaret Chan. "It is a matter of satisfaction that we have completed one year without any single new case of polio being reported from anywhere in the country," said Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the summit, which was organized by the government of India and Rotary International. "This gives us hope that we can finally eradicate polio not only from India but from the face of the entire mother earth. The success of our efforts shows that teamwork pays." India's last reported case was a two-year-old girl in West Bengal State on 13 January 2011. Before polio eradication can be certified in India, it must go two more years without another case of the disease. Polio remains endemic in only three countries: Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

A pair of new bakeries and dine-in restaurants add to the selection of sweet treats and hot meals available in Columbia County.
At Delightful Bites Cakery, owner Sharon Hutko makes sure customers are greeted with cupcakes, freshly baked cookies and cake pops when they enter her store. Sweet Treats Bakery in Liberty Square across from the Evans Walmart is another store offering delectable goodies. Also coming soon to Liberty Square is Cali’s Grille, opening in the former Cowabunga Grill location. Javier and Irma Lieras, natives of San Diego, are bringing a taste of Southern California to Evans. The casual restaurant will offer everything from ribs, hamburgers and chicken strips to soups and salads. Cali’s will also take carry-out orders.
