If you’re a teen boy, there’s really no place for STD testing without having your own doctor and your own insurance. It’s very much of a block.” “Then there’s the awareness factor – the information,” Rivas says of the third compo- nent. “A lot of times parents think the schools are doing the job of informing teens on sex and health issues. And the schools think par- ents are, and should be, doing that. “We work a lot with school health teachers to make sure the information is getting out, but it really has to be a community effort. The kids have to hear the same thing from every- body – parents, teachers, and others – or the message isn’t consistent. We can’t solve this with, ‘Here are some condoms.

THE LANGUAGE OF COMPUTERS NOW ESSENTIAL TO MODERN LIVING

BY MARK ASHTON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — When Literacy Volunteers of South Central Massachusetts (LVSCM) decided to offer free computer training to anyone wanting it, no one knew how many takers to expect. Executive Director Holly Christo had 10 donated laptops to dedicate to the cause, but she wasn’t sure if computer illiter- ates would either admit to their shortcomings or be capable of overcoming them. A couple of months later, she has some answers. Attendees at “Computer Skills 101” were introduced “A lot of students finally to a variety of basic computer skills. decided to enter the digital age — the computer age,” says Christo. tutors, Christo is aware bandwidth and WiFi In fact, she filled that first of “the changing defini- resources. class – five weeks of training at Donated laptops are put to use for tion of literacy.” And even while Jacob Edwards Library over computer literacy classes.

Fried Mozzarella Sticks makes 16 sticks (at the Southbridge Airport) YEAR! Bastoncini di Mozzarella Fritta cookbook: Lidia’s Italy in America Ingredients: Vegatable Oil, for frying 2 large eggs 1 (1-pound) block low-moisture kosher salt mozzarella cheese 16 medium fresh basil leaves, cut in We are 2 cups all-purpose flour, for dredging half lengthwise (optional) 2 cups fine dry bread crumbs Warm Marinara sauce, for serving

Directions: Fried mozzarella is a tasty dish that children especially like; it can be half fried in Reopening advance, then reheated in the oven when guests arrive. It is great finger food to be passed around at a party. In a large skillet or wide shallow pot, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to about 365 degrees F. (If you don’t have an oil thermometer, drop a few bread crumbs in and if they sizzle but don’t burn, the oil is ready.) for the Cut mozzarella into 4 slabs, then cut each slab into 4 pieces to get 16 sticks. Spread flour and bread crumbs on 2 separate plates. Put eggs in a shallow bowl and lightly beat them. Season with salt. If using the basil, dip the leaves in the beaten egg and let the excess drip off back into the bowl. Stick a leaf on each of the mozzarella sticks, down the length of the leaf and press to adhere. Don’t worry if the leaf doesn’t stick completely, it will stay on once you begin the breading process. season on Working a few at a time, dredge mozzarella in flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. Once all of the mozzarella sticks have been breaded, repeat dipping in the egg and then bread crumbs so that no cheese is visible. th When the oil is ready, add half of the mozzarella sticks. Fry until golden on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes in all. Remove mozzarella sticks with a spider or slotted spatula to April 20 drain on paper towels. Season with salt. Repeat process with remaining mozzarella sticks. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
