C-4 Wednesday, September 5, 2018 The Press-Dispatch HOME LIFE TO ADVERTISE: Call: 812-354-8500 Email: ads@pressdispatch.net Visit: 820 E. Poplar Street, Petersburg Deadline: 5 p.m. on Monday Youth First Today by Marge Gianopoulos, Youth First, Inc. Youth in a digital world According to the Pew Re- search Center, 95 percent of teens currently report they have a smartphone or access to one. Since the advent of MyS - pace (Does anyone even re- member that one?) and then Facebook, social media has become the primary way for teens to connect with their peers, friends and family. In a 2014 Pew survey, 24 percent of teens stated they are online "almost constant- ly." In just four years the per- cent of teens using social media "constantly" has al- most doubled. Social media has been infused in our teens' lives and apparently it's here to stay. Several years ago the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation started using tablets, and this year Warrick County high school students began using them as well. Between the use of smart phones, computers, tablets, and gaming sys- tems, how much screen time is considered healthy? On Monday, Sept. 10, from 5:30 –7:30 p.m., Indi- ana Youth Institute, Youth First, Inc., Warrick County Cares, and Warrick Coun- ty School Corporation will provide some insight for parents, youth workers and other adults who want to know how social media and screen time are impacting our teens. Dennis Jon Bailey, WIK Y Morning Show DJ, will con- duct a panel discussion on the pros, cons and effects of social media and screen time. The panel is made up of area professionals who have contact with youth and see firsthand how social me- dia is affecting teens' health (physical and mental) and academics. The panel includes War- rick County School Admin- istrators Ashlee Bruggen- schmidt, Abbie Redman and Josh Susott; Warrick County Sheriff Deputy and School Resource Officer Mike Di- etsch; Youth First Director of Social Work Laura Keys; Youth First School Social Worker Terra Clark; War- rick County Deputy Prose- cutor Parker Trulock; and Vice President of the Psy- chology Program at Evans- ville Easterseals Rehabil- itation Center, Dr. James Schroeder. As a pediatric psycholo- gist, Dr. Schroeder has con- ducted extensive research on screen time and the im- pact of social media on our youth and often writes for the Evansville Courier. You can access his articles at http://james-schroeder. com. In addition to the pan- el discussion, the real ex- perts, local teens, will be available to show adults how to navigate the most popular social media apps such as SnapChat, Insta- gram, and Musical.ly. Each of these apps will have a ta- ble where adults can learn from the teens. Teens will share the ins-and-outs of the app, explain privacy settings and demonstrate how adults can keep children and teens safe while online. Youth in a Digital World: Pros, Cons and Effects of Social Media, will take place from 5:30 -7:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 at the New - burgh Chandler Public Li- braries, 4111 Lakeshore Dr., Newburgh, and light snacks will be served. Registration is required, as space is limited. Regis- ter at https://warrickcoy- wc091018.eventbrite.com.

CR 700 S., VELPEN $ 450,000 BUFFALO CHICKEN POTSTICKERS MEALS IN Monica's MINUTES Share your favorite recipe! www.facebook.com/mealsinminutes Monica's Meals in Minutes PO Box 68, Petersburg, IN 47567 mealsinminutes@pressdispatch.net FACEBOOK MAIL EMAIL By Monica Sinclair I'm always looking for new ways to enjoy one of my favorite things: buffalo chicken. I received email this week with several different ways to prepare it. It was hard to choose just one but I managed to find one that wouldn't be too difficult to make, and it sounds delicious. It only has nine ingredients and takes about a 30 minutes to prepare. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS • 2 pounds chicken cooked and shredded • 1 1/2 cups buffalo sauce • 3 green onions • salt and pepper • 48 wonton wrappers • water for sealing wonton wrappers • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1/3 cup chicken stock DIRECTIONS 1. Combine first four ingredients (through salt and pepper) in a large bowl. 2. Place 1 tablespoon of buffalo chicken mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush water along all edges of wonton wrapper for sealing. Bring two corners of wrapper together in a point and then seal edges of wrapper closed. Form filled wrap- per into a crescent at the bottom to help the pot- sticker stand during and after cooking. 3. Place on a baking sheet covered with a damp towel to prevent wrappers from drying out before cook- ing. 4. Add olive oil to the bottom of a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add 10 -12 wrappers to the skillet at a time and cook for two minutes. Then, pour chicken stock into skillet and cover with a lid. Allow to cook for two more minutes. 5. Remove lid and remove potstickers from skillet. Place onto a baking sheet and keep warm in a 225 degree oven until all potstickers are ready to serve.
