  • 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.

The Clifton Town Meeting records illustrate the varied activity of the Clifton neighborhood, the evolution and development of a community organization and its relationship to the larger urban community of Cincinnati. In particular, the records reveal the origins and problems of neighborhood-controlled community planning, the prospective uses of zoning, the various attempts to preserve the image of Clifton’s nineteenth-century “village” past (in one case, via retention of gas lighting), and the existing traffic and education conditions of the Clifton community during the 1960s and 1970s. Also, the records highlight the development of other Cincinnati neighborhood and community councils during this period. The records of the Clifton Town Meeting were accessioned by the Special Collections Department of the University of Cincinnati Library in 1977. Periodically, other materials dated from 1977 will be deposited in the Department and increase the scope of the present collection.
