  • GROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE a GUIDE to OUTDOOR PLAY Turn Over a New Leaf!
    GROWGROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE A GUIDE TO OUTDOOR PLAY Turn over a new leaf! www.LNCIgc.org Dear Reader: Do you remember when parents told their children to “Go Outside and Play”? A time when unstructured play in nature built healthy bodies, encouraged creativity and a sense of wonder, relieved stress, facilitated learning and developed important social skills? In the relatively short span of thirty to forty years, we have removed our children from the natural environment that so effectively nurtured healthy child development. When Richard Louv published his book “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” in 2005, he issued a call to action for the parents and mentors of today to return children to the healthy, outdoor lifestyle that has prevailed throughout human evolution. We hope this guide will inspire you to encourage today’s children to “GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY”!! ! Leave No Child Inside – Greater Cincinnati sage ... es from uv M Richard Lo A Author, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder Today, kids are well aware of the global threats to their environment, but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature on a day-to-day basis, is fading. A fifth-grader in a San Diego classroom put it succinctly: “I like to play indoors better ‘cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are.” I believe our society is teaching young people to avoid direct experience in nature. That unintended message is delivered by schools, families, even organizations devoted to the outdoors, and codified into the legal and regulatory structures of many of our communities – effectively banning much of the kind of play that we enjoyed as children.

  • Cincinnati: Many Rivers Run Through It
    Cincinnati: Many Rivers Run Through It Susan Paddock Attendees at ICMA’s 86th Annual Conference 2000 in September, held in Cincinnati/ Hamilton County, will see that the Ohio River is a fascinating local asset. Downtown and riverfront development means that more attractions are yet to come. Cincinnati always has been defined by its relationship to the Ohio River. This enviable river location symbolizes the success Cincinnati enjoys as an ever- changing place to live, work, and play. Cincinnati’s early development was a direct result of its access to the river because commerce thrives in a location with a transportation advantage. Growth and development in the downtown and on the riverfront reflect the “rivers” that now flow through the city, as well as next to it. Cincinnati’s rivers of vitality, tradition, information, creativity, and opportunity demonstrate the city’s advantages not only in transportation but also in quality of life, historic preservation, technology, the arts, and development. River of Vitality Streams of people living, working, and playing in Cincinnati contribute to its urban environment. In particular, the city’s broad-ranging, well-planned housing options create a 24-hour city full of vitality. Eugenie Birch, professor and chair of the department of city and regional planning at the University of Pennsylvania, has compared housing trends in 40 cities from 1990 to 1999. She found in her 1999 study “Downtown Living: A Deeper Look” that Cincinnati had one of the more robust markets in downtown housing in the United States. “Cincinnati is one of the brighter stories,” Ms. Birch says.
