Events have changed over the years , and some have even been canceled . However , there are others from Baby Boomer ’ s youth that are still going strong .

When Cynthia Abood thinks of summer events from the past , Canal Days comes to mind .

“ I loved dressing in costume and entering the contests ,” she said . “ My youngest son , Evan , was the first Canal Days junior king when he was 3 .”

While Canal Days is no longer held , the Bakersville Homecoming still is .

“ Up here it ’ s a red letter on the calendar holiday ,” Larry Stahl said . “ Cows are milked at odd hours , tractors pull for three days , homemade pie and barbecued chicken , fellowship and friendship .”

Others couldn ’ t wait to head to camp when summertime came .

“ Scout camp for the experience of camping , training and socializing ,” Tom Dile said .

Gail Littler Piper couldn ’ t wait to go to 4-H Camp .

“ It was a great time to do something different , meet other people , learn new activities and much more ,” she said . “ I was a camper many years and a counselor when I was older . I didn ’ t grow up in Coshocton County , so I went to Camp Whitewood instead of Camp

Emily Gephart spent her time at Camp Ohio .

“ I enjoyed meeting up with old friends and making new ones ,” she said . “ An added bonus was one week away from the farm , no milking cows , no hay to bale , no fence to mend , only fun for a week .”

time to take care of our bodies .

this study was to test a unique fitness program with a group of healthy , fit and extremely active adults in early middle age . Given known sex differences in response to exercise training , this study quantified health

and performance outcomes in separate groups of women and men .

The study made a significant — though accidental — discovery about the time of day you exer-
