University of Illinois Medical Center and Cook County Children’s Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, USA

In conclusion, U.S. urban children have markedly reduced exercise capacity, indicating inadequate physical fitness. Inactivity and lack of fitness, if not corrected, are likely to lead to cardiovascular problems in adulthood. Efforts should be made to promote an active life style begining in early childhood

However, I view lost parking as a PRACTICAL matter that should be dealt with in a PRACTICAL way: e.g., working with city officials to reorganize resident, church, and visitor parking around the immediate neighborhood. I object to a few neighbors’ portraying the loss of parking as a loss of power & privilege under the current Principal.
