MARIETTA — The Washington County Fair continued on Monday, with the 4-H Flippin’ Breakfast and Show, Dairy Showmanship event and Mr. Puppet, a comedy entertainment show.
Hal Epler, a caterer that specializes in fundraising events, has traveled across Ohio doing pancake breakfasts for almost 20 years with Chris Cakes of Ohio.
This is the fourth year he has visited the Washington County Fair for the 4-H Flippin’ Breakfast and Show. Epler cooks the pancakes in front of everyone and creates a show by flipping the pancakes off his spatula and on to a plate. Fairgoers expressed shock, excitement and joy as they saw flying pancakes land on their plates.
“It’s the look of shock on a little kid’s face when he actually catches it,” he said, when asked what he likes about flipping pancakes. “There’s that certain moment where the kids totally stunned that the pancake is on his plate. Those are the entertaining ones.”
Epler said the pancake breakfast is important to the fair because it instills a sense of community within attendees.

“The biggest reason you have any type of pancake breakfast, whether it’s for raising funds, whether it’s in somebody’s backyard, whether it’s in a school, it’s to create that sense of community,” he said.
Cadence Griffin, 7, and Lynnlee Holland, 7, attended the breakfast and said they enjoyed the show.
When asked if they caught their pancakes, Griffin replied, “I caught the second one,” while Holland, her cousin, said “I caught both of them.”
Jeremy Barth, chairperson for the 4-H Endowment Committee, said the breakfast grows a little more every year as people encounter the fun show.
“Yeah you get to eat breakfast, but I think the interaction with the pancake guy (Epler) makes it a fun experience,” he said. “He does a great job of interacting with the crowd that comes in.”

Barth said the breakfast helps raise money, which goes back into the program to help pay for workshops, project books and scholarships for 4-H members, as well as helping purchase much-needed items for the fair, like an ice machine or new tables.
Barth said he chooses to volunteer at the fair and with 4-H to give back to the community. He has been volunteering with 4-H for 21 years and has previously been on the fair board for 12 years. He said he was in 4-H as a child and now gets to work alongside community members who taught him when he was in the program.
“That’s what 4-H is about, community,” he said. “We’re a community.”
Macie Smith, with the Decatur Buckeyes 4-H group and Warren FFA, received first in her market class for her dairy beef showing. She grew up surrounded by cattle, on a market beef farm and has been showing animals at the fair for nine years. Smith said she enjoys the companionship between her and her animals and was excited to receive a blue ribbon.
“I definitely take it to heart. It shows how much hard work I’ve done throughout the years of showing,” she said. “I actually grew up and had the role model of my sister, Morgan, she’s taught me what I know. It makes me really proud of myself, because I worked hard for this.”

Smith acted as a role model for her cousin, Waylon McCoy, 3, during the Pee-Wee Showmanship event. She helped him lead her heifer around the ring in the Multi-Purpose Building.
Bob Abdou, also known as Mr. Puppet, performed Saturday, Sunday and Monday at the fairgrounds. When asked how he got into puppetry, he explained how adults from the 50s, 60s and 70s grew up with puppets in their lives, due to puppets appearing on television and in theater.
“So I was 34 years old, I decided I wanted to make a switch in my life and I remember having a puppet as a child,” he said. “And so I got a puppet to use on my job as a salesman in my printing business.”
Abdou realized that he was getting more work from his clients, by making them happy and filling them with laughter. Later, he closed his business to go into puppetry full time.
Abdou said his inspiration came from the Uncle Floyd Show, a sketch comedy show featuring Floyd’s right hand, Oogie. He eventually met and had the chance to perform with Uncle Floyd and Oogie during a dinner theater show.

Abdou said his life changed five years ago while performing at the fair. He said he realized that Washington County is a “poor area” and some of the kids here are being raised by their grandparents due to their parents being incarcerated, in rehab, or even deceased.
” So I realized that instead of making these children laugh, which is my ultimate goal, I want them to feel special,” he said. “I realized that I want to turn my spotlight on my audience and make them shine, because the children here need it.”

Barrie’s waterfront was lined with hundreds of young anglers on Sunday for the return of a popular family-friendly fishing event.
After a two-year pandemic pause, the annual Rotary Kids Fishing Day returned to the shorelines of Kempenfelt Bay Sunday. The event, put together by the Kempenfelt Rotary Club, is a tradition the club looks forward to every year.
“It’s a fabulous way for us to give back to the community,” said Joan Bell-McKee, the club’s incoming president. “It’s a free day for the kids; free fishing rods, free bait, pizza supplied by Domino’s and all provided by our wonderful sponsorship by TD.”
Participants were required to register ahead of time, with nearly 1200 people expected to attend the event, which Bell-McKee says would not be possible without months of hard work by dedicated volunteers.
“This is an event that kids come back to year after year with their parents, their grandparents and their siblings,” she said. “It’s wonderful to have this event again. It’s something that everyone in our Rotary Club looks forward to.”
CORNWALL – All youngsters come away winners during the Cornwall Multisport Club Kids’ Day.
From tiny tykes ages 6 and under, through to 16-year-olds, this year’s popular event will be held Sunday, July 10 at Lamoureux Park and is free to everyone in the community.
“We really want to encourage parents to bring their youngsters down to the park for it,” encouraged Monique Branchaud, one of the event leads. “The event is meant to encourage kids’ to become physically active, but it also promotes important qualities like good sportsmanship and fair play. “Plus, it’s tons of fun, too.”
The CMC club has organized the event for several years, and members eagerly look forward to it every summer. The organization is especially delighted to welcome its return this summer after two years of it being sidelined due to the pandemic. The event is truly a kid-friendly morning that is specifically designed to encourage participation in a positive, non-competitive atmosphere geared towards all levels of physical ability.
“For instance, not only do we have awards for each age group, but every participant who crosses the finish line receives a finishers’ medal,” she added. “They take such pride in this, it’s a real sense of accomplishment for them, and they’ll end up wearing it the whole day. “It’s great to see them running across the finish line with big smiles on their faces.”
In addition, club members also volunteer as pace bunnies for the events. This ensures that no participant is left behind on the course, and that there’s someone there to see they get over the finish. Kids’ of all levels of physical fitness are encouraged to register and no special equipment is required except a pair of running shoes.
“You see the pacer run up with the kids, then step back as the kids would cross the finish on their own. It’s a very positive thing for participants.”
Registration takes place from 10 – 10:20 a.m. at the bandshell. It will take place rain or shine. Those interested may also sign-up in advance by visiting http://www.cornwallmultisportclub.com/cmckids.shtml
The race routes are all in Lamoureux Park and around the bandshell area. Distances vary from 700 metres (6 and under), 1.25 km (7-9), 2.5 km (10-12) to 3.75 km (13 +). It is very important to remember, however, that any child is welcome to run a shorter distance if they prefer: participation and fun are the names of this game.
Events for ages 6 and under begin at 10:30 a.m., with all other age groups as listed to follow. The awards ceremony will be held immediately after the final participant crosses the finish line.
The event takes place rain or shine.
A light snack will be provided for the participants, and their supporters are welcome to pack a picnic to enjoy while cheering them on. The awards ceremony will be held at 11:30 a.m.
On average, 80 youth register for the event, but there’s no cap on it. The non-competitive atmosphere still has an official air which makes it especially fun for them.
“Each participant has their own race bib, it’s on a marked course, we have race marshals and pacers, plus they receive a finishers’ medal. It’s such a positive event for them, even if they’ve never run before. It’s a great day,” Branchaud enthused.
Alex Saunders loves doing drag storytime for kids and has no plans to stop, even after being the target of online hate.
Saunders, a Saint John drag king whose stage name is Justin Toodeep, has been a drag performer for 12 years.
They’ve also been a dedicated volunteer with the YMCA and the Salvation Army, as well as spending the past five years reading books and making crafts with kids through the public library with drag storytime.
“Doing drag is about first and foremost giving back to your community,” they said.
The past week, though, Saunders experienced something they say they’ve been through before.

They’ve been receiving hate messages, some even threatening their life, after Saint John People’s Party of Canada candidate Nicholas Pereira made an online post about a drag storytime event.
Saunders was part of that event last weekend through the Saint John Free Public Library in Market Square.
Pereira paired the event’s information with an unrelated image of a young person tipping a burlesque dancer by putting money in their underwear, spreading misinformation about what drag story time is all about.
He has since deleted the post, but not before it reached hundreds, causing both strangers and people Saunders knows to attack them online.
“I haven’t been letting it get me down too much,” Saunders said. “But it makes me feel very unsafe in my own community.”
No plans to stop
Although they fear for their personal safety, Saunders has no intention of stepping back from drag performances, including events for kids.
Support from the community has kept pace with the hatred they’ve been experiencing, they said, and they plan to keep going and perform at more Pride celebrations in Saint John in August.
“The outpouring of love from my own community, and from supporters and allies has been unreal, absolutely unreal.”
The library said it has hosted four drag storytime events, intended to celebrate diversity during Pride Month, and people have been “very supportive.”
“Activities such as this are a healthy part of a child’s development as they develop an understanding of and respect for differences, while feeling free to explore identities,” head librarian Laura Corscadden said in an email.
“Programs such as this have been offered successfully over the past several years in many other public libraries in other jurisdictions around North America.”
Saunders said they want to be part of events for kids because kids don’t have very many queer role models.
“They see me out there, being my weird self and living my best life. And, you know, they fall in love with that,” Saunders said.
Saunders said because they have a charisma kids are drawn toward, the least they can do for the community is read to children and show them there are different kinds of people in the world.
“People need to know that they’re not alone. And that’s what I like about drag story time. Plus, how cool is it to read stories to kids, make them happy and give them cookies?”
What happens at drag storytime?
Blair Richardson and her family moved to New Brunswick from Toronto a year and a half ago.
Richardson, who has a young daughter nicknamed Mouse, said her family was always connected with the queer community in Toronto, going to events like drag storytime and drag brunches.
“I think a lot of youth need to not only hear it if they are part of that community, or will eventually be, but also the kids that will just grow up to be straight,” said Richardson, a supporter of the drag storytime series in Saint John.
“It’s important that they hear the regularity of the stories that are presented here, the inclusion, the messages of love.”
While she’s noticed a difference in how many queer-friendly places are available in Saint John — there are no gay bars, for example — she said attending events like drag story time has helped her family find friends when they didn’t know anybody in the city.
She even worked with the library to expand storytime events beyond just Pride week in August.
Richardson said the drag storytime events themselves are always full of colour and costume — all outfits are appropriate for kids, she added.
Her daughter also loves books and reading.
“It really combines a lot of the passions that a five year old should have, which are, you know, stage and entertainment and literacy.”

The stories the drag kings and drag queens read to kids usually focus on themes of acceptance and being yourself — Richardson pointed to a recent story by Michael Hall called Red: A Crayon’s Story about a blue crayon inside a red wrapper that goes on a journey to find its true colours.
On top of reading stories, kids get to do crafts and have a snack at drag story time.
“It’s just a really beautiful event for kids to be a part of,” Richardson said.
Her daughter, who looks forward to drag storytime “more so than anything else in life,” is even trying out drag for the first time later this summer.
“Mouse just wants to be just like Alex, in kind of every aspect of life, and really looks up to them.”

The country is once again in mourning after yet another deadly school shooting. Details continue to emerge about the shooting deaths of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. And America’s parents find themselves in a sadly familiar position of having to explain the events to their own children and help them confront fears about violence.
Parents of very young children might be wondering whether they should talk about violent events like the Uvalde shooting at all. But Nilsa Ruiz, associate director of mental health and community initiative at Gads Hill Center, said honesty is the best policy.
“There’s no age too young to talk about these kinds of tragedies. Our brains are sometimes unable to fully process experiences and challenges,” Ruiz said. “Children age 0-5 express their fear by getting closer to their caregiver, either by crying or throwing tantrums. I expect adults and parents to really open and create that dialogue for their children. Talk about how they’re feeling, or just going over certain scenarios.”
Nestor Flores, director of behavioral health initiatives at Pilsen Wellness Center, said an honest approach applies to talking with older children and teenagers as well.
“They’re like sponges, they kind of feel your energy. They can tell when you’re not being genuine. So as a parent if you’re afraid, then I would talk about my fear and have that conversation,” Flores said. “Talk about safety. Remind yourself and your family, how do we make ourselves feel safe again. What do we do? Do we have dinner together? Do we go to church this Sunday? Whatever it takes to make you feel safe again, but mostly it’s that honesty and that transparency.”
Ruiz said that parents should also first attend to their own feelings and fears about traumatic events before shepherding their children through theirs.
“Ask yourself, how much does your child know, and how much do you want to share? Processing the trauma of gun violence can feel incredibly overwhelming,” she said. “Find ways to cope and manage these emotions … you’ve got to remind yourself that your children look at you as role models, so if you practice self-care for yourself, you can do it for them.”
Flores said reports that signs the Uvalde shooter had been experiencing a mental health crisis went ignored are particularly troubling. He urged adults in any child’s life to pay attention to signs of deteriorating mental health and take action.
“Definitely don’t look away from the signs,” he said. “Changes in behavior, they’re isolating, they are self-harming — obviously any of those are a sign of some sort of struggle, it doesn’t have to be that they will be violent, but they are struggling. Things like hurting animals or hurting others or bullying, all those things can conspire to have someone’s mental health deteriorate … It should spur action. Inaction is painful. Look at what we’re witnessing … So choose what discomfort — do you have a conversation that’s uncomfortable, or keep living these experiences?”
Ramstein Air Base in Germany is overhauling its Pride Month festivities after critics, including a Republican senator, complained that a drag queen was picked to read to children.
Ramstein, the largest American air base in Germany and headquarters of U.S. Air Forces in Europe, was slated to host local drag queen Stacey Teed at a 30-minute story time event for kids at an on-base library, according to a since-deleted Facebook event.
“Be sure to wear your brightest and most colorful outfits!” the post read.

But the event created a furor. Chief among its opponents was Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who confirmed the Air Force had canceled “Drag Queen Story Time” the same week he wrote to Secretary Frank Kendall demanding the service “immediately cancel this politically divisive event, and take appropriate disciplinary action against all involved in allowing this gross abuse of taxpayer funding to place children in a sexualized environment.”
Rubio also asked Kendall how many events “involving drag queens spending time around children” have been held on American military installations around the world, and what resources have been used to hold them.
“Decisions over children and their bodies should be left to moms and dads serving our nation,” Rubio wrote Thursday. “The last thing parents serving their nation overseas should be worried about, particularly in a theater with heightened geopolitical tensions, is whether their children are being exposed to sexually charged content simply because they visited their local library.”

His opposition comes amid a spike in baseless accusations of LGBTQ people “grooming” or befriending children with the intent to sexually abuse them.
“It’s story time, not RuPaul’s Drag Race,” said Natalie Ricketts, a member of the Ramstein community who created a Change.org petition to reinstate the events. “Stacey Teed isn’t a sexualized name, nor would they wear the same clothes [to the reading that] they would for a show.”
Neither Ramstein’s 86th Airlift Wing nor the Modern Military Association of America, an advocacy group for LGBTQ service members, responded to questions by press time Friday.

Drag is the centuries-long practice of dressing in exaggerated makeup and clothing of the opposite sex, most commonly used in theater and other stage performances. It’s often on display during Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Pride Month events, held worldwide each June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York that served as a catalyst for the gay rights movement. Pride Month also celebrates the community’s contributions and remembers those killed in hate crimes or by HIV/AIDS.
Military organizations have started hosting Pride events in the decade since the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy banning openly gay service members ended.
This year, Ricketts wrote in the petition, the 86th Mission Support Group commander canceled all Pride events unless they are rebranded without drag queens.

“The reason for this is because the [public affairs chief] received a lot of angry emails from ‘taxpaying Americans’ … most of which aren’t stationed here,” said Ricketts, whose public LinkedIn profile shows she served as an active duty geospatial intelligence analyst before joining the Air Force Reserve.
“Per the [86th Airlift] Wing … ‘You can do the event but remove the drag queen [and] have someone ‘normal’ reading the stories,’” said Ricketts.
According to the Change.org petition, which had gathered more than 140 digital signatures as of Friday afternoon, the library will only hold Pride story time if a drag queen participates.
Objections centered on the library gathering but allegedly led to a blanket ban from local leadership on any drag-related event. Pride was slated to kick off next week with a karaoke event run by drag queens at the base’s enlisted club, Ricketts said.

Ricketts disputed the idea that the event would involve anything untoward.
The “Monarchy of RoyalTea,” a drag group in the Kaiserslautern military community that holds performances and events like holiday drag brunches, is losing out on funds it would have received for working at Pride Month activities, she said. Most of the drag queens are enlisted members.
A note anonymously posted to the popular Facebook page “Air Force amn/nco/snco”, which airs airmen’s questions and gripes and shares news articles, said those involved with Ramstein Pride are working with the Air Force’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning Initiative Team; the Modern Military Association of America, an advocacy group for LGBTQ service members; and 86th Force Support Squadron on a solution.
“We are deeply disappointed that discrimination like this continues to be tolerated,” the note said.

With two years of COVID-19 in the rearview mirror, anxiety among US adults has turned instead toward global events, results from the annual Healthy Minds Poll from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) show.
“It’s not surprising that recent events, such as the war in Ukraine, racially motivated mass shootings, or the impacts of climate change, are weighing heavily on Americans’ minds,” APA President Vivian Pender, MD, said in a news release.
“COVID-19 in a way has taken a backseat, but the pandemic and its mental health effects are very much still with us. It’s important that we are cognizant of that and continue to work to ensure people who need psychiatric care, whether the causes are tied to the pandemic or to other issues, can access it,” Pender added.
Results from this year’s poll were released yesterday during the APA 2022 Annual Meeting.
Record Low COVID Anxiety
The poll was conducted by Morning Consult between April 23-24 and included 2210 adult participants.
Results showed that anxiety about COVID is at its recorded lowest, with 50% of respondents indicating they are anxious about the pandemic. This was down from 65% in 2021 and from 75% in 2020.
Instead, nearly three quarters (73%) of adults are somewhat or extremely anxious about current events happening around the world, 64% are anxious about keeping themselves or their families safe, and 60% worry about their health in general.
Overall, about one third (32%) reported being more anxious now than last year, 46% reported no change in their anxiety level, and 18% were less anxious.
About one quarter (26%) have spoken with a mental healthcare professional in the past few years, which is down from 34% in 2021. In addition, Hispanic (36%) and Black (35%) adults were more likely to have reached out for help than White (25%) adults.
Despite the US Surgeon General’s recent advisory on the mental health crisis among children, the poll results also showed that Americans are less concerned about their children’s mental health than last year. A total of 41% of parents expressed concern about this topic, which was down from 53% in 2021.
Still, 40% of parents said their children had received help from a mental health professional since the pandemic hit. Of that group, 36% sought help before the pandemic, whereas half said the pandemic had caused mental health issues for their children.
“While the overall level of concern has dropped, still 4 in 10 parents are worried about how their children are doing, and a third are having issues with access to care,” Saul Levin, MD, CEO and medical director of the APA, said in the release.
“This is unacceptable and as a nation, we need to invest in the kind of systems that will ensure any parent who’s worried about their child has access to lifesaving treatment,” Levin added.
Workplace Mental Health
In addition, the poll showed employees often have a tough time getting mental health support from employers, or are hesitant to ask for help.
“What’s troubling about the results of this poll is that even as the pandemic has continued and its mental health effects wear on, fewer employees are reporting that they have access to mental health services,” Pender said.
“Workplaces need to ensure that they are paying attention to what their employees need, particularly now, and moving away from mental health benefits isn’t the right move,” she added.
About half (48%) of those polled said they can discuss mental health openly and honestly with their supervisor, down from 56% in 2021 and 62% in 2020.
Only about half (52%) said they feel comfortable using mental health services with their current employer, compared with 64% in 2021 and 67% in 2020.
In addition, fewer workers felt their employer is offering sufficient mental health resources and benefits. This year, 53% of workers thought resources and benefits were adequate, which was down from 65% in 2021 and 68% in 2020.
“It’s quite concerning to see that fewer people feel comfortable discussing mental health with a supervisor, at a time when people experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other conditions are on the rise and impact nearly every aspect of work, including productivity, performance, retention, and overall healthcare costs,” Darcy Gruttadaro, JD, director of the APA Foundation’s Center for Workplace Mental Health, said.
“As rates of these conditions rise, we should see more employees knowing about available workplace mental health resources, not less,” Gruttadaro says.
Strong Bipartisan Support
Perhaps unexpectedly, the poll shows strong support among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents for three APA-backed approaches to improve timely access to mental health care and treatment.
Specifically, about three quarters of those polled support:
making it easier to see a mental health professional via telehealth,
allowing patients to receive mental health care through a primary care provider,
funding mental health care professionals to work in rural or urban communities that are traditionally underserved.
“We’re in a moment when mental health is a big part of the national conversation, and clearly political party doesn’t matter as much on this issue,” Pender noted.
“It’s a rare thing in Washington these days to see such a resounding endorsement, but there is strong support for these practical workable solutions that mean more access to mental health care,” she said.
“What you see in this poll is agreement: it’s hard to access mental [health care] but we do have great solutions that could work across party lines,” Levin added.
“Many policymakers, in the administration and in Congress, are already putting these ideas into action, and they should feel encouraged that the public wants to see Congress act on them,” he said.
