The Village News :: Dictionary Day at Bonsall Elementary

12/1/2005 7:15:50 PM

BONSALL — On November 9, Bonsall Rotary Club donated over 200 English and Spanish-to-English dictionaries to the Bonsall third-graders. Participating schools were Bonsall Elementary, Bonsall West and the Vivian Banks Charter School.

Tom Ewan, past president of the Bonsall Rotary and executive director of Rawhide Ranch, started the presentation with a brief explanation of Rotary and specifically the Four-Way Test: “Is it the Truth? Is it Fair to all concerned? Will it build Good Will and Better Friendships? Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?” Then the teachers distributed the books. The Rotary Club of Bonsall was one of the first participants of The SoCal Dictionary Project, founded by Don White of the Vista Rotary. Mr. White stated that this year the project has grown to many other clubs and as far away as Missouri and Mexico with a distribution of over 50,000.

Ovid Technologies, a Wolters Kluwer business and global provider in electronic medical, scientific, and academic information research solutions, has announced new partnerships with Blackwell Publishing, Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, McGraw-Hill, Nature Publishing Group, and Oxford University Press (USA). As part of its strategy to expand content offerings, Ovid has entered into a product planning and development agreement with Primal Pictures with the intention to distribute 3-dimensional anatomy images on the Ovid platform.

Ovid will add more than 60 medical and nursing journals from Blackwell, a society publisher, increasing to more than 250 the total that will be available on Journals@Ovid. Ovid is also the exclusive provider of Elsevier’s EMBiology life science database, which contains more than four million international bibliographic records dating back to 1980. Eight Nature Clinical Practice journals in oncology, cardiology, and other specialties, published by Nature Publishing Group, will soon be available on Journals@Ovid. With internationally known advisory boards and editorial boards, these journals discuss key research developments, translating the findings into clinical practice. The Group’s flagship journal, Nature, is a multi-disciplinary scientific journal.

More than 20 dictionaries and encyclopedia in technology, science, and engineering from McGraw-Hill are launching on Books@Ovid, Ovid’s ebook product. Books@Ovid will also feature more than 30 reference works and textbooks in all areas of psychology from Oxford University Press. In addition, Ovid has entered into a partnership agreement with Primal Pictures, an anatomy image resource company. Based on this understanding, Ovid and Primal would develop a distribution agreement for end-users to access three-dimensional images that are relevant to and further supplement the content they’re viewing on the Ovid platform.

Port Arthur News
In a special project conducted by a local Rotary Club, elementary students all over Port Arthur are receiving dictionaries.

“I know it is dictionaries, but the kids really do get excited about the books,” Shannon Harris, member of the Rotary Club of Port Arthur and director for the dictionary program, said.

Since the middle of November, members of the club have been traveling to third grade classrooms to deliver the books to children to help with their educations

“It is an honor. Every one of these kids has the potential to be the president of the United States and this program will help kids to achieve goals like that,” Ed Boone, Rotary member, said about delivering dictionaries to third grade students Thursday at DeQueen Elementary in Port Arthur.

Selecting third graders to receive the books was intentionally done to help support a specific literacy problem in Port Arthur youths.

Harris said the club selected third grade students because studies showed that Port Arthur youths maintain proper levels of reading until they reach the fourth grade.

“We are delivering the books to keep them involved and motivated to read,” Harris, said.

The last batch of books will be delivered next week to Tekoa Academy by Harris.

The Rotary Club of Port Arthur has been involved with the nationwide program for four years and Harris has been the organizer for the past two.

Purchasing the books is made possible from funds collected through the club’s annual Taste of Gumbo event.
