In the end, a combined 195 people attended meetings in Wabash on Tuesday, Aug. 20, and North Manchester on Aug. 22, deemed it important to maintain a competitive public K-12 education system to help stop population loss.

A young child’s squeal of glee Sunday afternoon was all Shelly Myers needed to know that Friendship Hill was a big hit. Friendship Hill, the city’s inclusive playground, was dedicated during a brief ceremony that saw Matthew Hipskind and Cason Myers cut the ribbon made of paper chains.

Five-year old Carson McKee is the newest member of the Manchester University mens soccer team after signing a two-year deal with the NCAA Division III Manchester Spartans. McKee, the son of Jarrod and Heather McKee, was formally introduced to Spartan fans Sunday, Aug. 25, at a press conference where family and friends joined him in celebration of his two-year contract. Manchester University President Dave McFadden welcomed the crowd and media to the signing event. “A lot of you are Manchester students,
some of you are neighbors to Manchester – we are glad you are here,” McFadden said. “We have a lot of dedicated athletes but we talk about them first and foremost as student-athletes – students first. They work hard at both of them, but always the person comes first. “That is what we are doing today with Carson,” McFadden added. “Carson, you are only five years old. It’s going to be a long time before you can contribute on the field, but as a person, you can be a part of our team at Manchester.” Men’s head soccer coach Corey Brueggeman said he is excited to have Carson join his team. “Right away I could tell he was fast, he was very smart and he loved sports,” he said. “All of those things made me realize that was going to be a big impact for joining our team.

Conference urges attendees to break the chain of addictions By Mandy Underwood munderwood@thepaperofwabash.com A large crowd was gathered on Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Emmanuel Free Will Baptist Church for the Break the Chains conference. The conference was open to anyone who wanted to attend, but geared toward people who are in the midst of addiction or have loved ones who are struggling with addiction. The conference started with a welcome from Emmanuel pastor, Terry Hinds. Hinds explained that this conference had been in the works since he had the idea for it about a year earlier. “I asked [Jim MComas and Joseph Habedank] ‘Could we coordinate a service where we get both of you together to share a story that we need to hear, and this community needs to hear, and that this
country needs to hear, that there is hope and that our hope is in Christ.’” Joseph Habedank took the stage next to share his music and his story. The crowd was clearly enthralled by his music before hearing his story. Habedank is a Christian singer/songwriter who battled with a narcotics addiction for years before finally going to rehab and beating his addiction. He started his story explaining that he grew up in a nice Christian home, but was surrounded with drug addiction his whole life. His brother had been introduced at an early age to drugs and has struggled ever since. “I watched my brother’s life unravel. On the flip side of that, I kind of felt guilty because all of my dreams started coming true at an early age. All I ever wanted to do was sing Christian music
and I got the opportunity to do that on a full-time level when I was 17 years old,” said Habedank. He then went on to explain how he found himself at his rock bottom, addicted to narcotic drugs. Habedank woke up one morning with an ulcer in the back of his throat that was causing him the worst pain he had ever felt. That day, he was singing at a church, and a lady from the church that was hosting him for dinner innocently offered him some narcotic drugs to help with the pain, so that he would still be able to perform. Not long after that first experience, he was to the point of taking 10-12 narcotic pills a day just to be able to feel normal. Luckily, he shared, his wife had stood by him through all of this and encouraged him to (continued on page 7)

Knights Inn and has a family dining room and a separate bar room for people over 21. “I really like [the food here],” said Ellie LeBonte, a first-time diner at the grand opening. “I got the California Burrito and it had really good chicken in it, and real beans, not
the refried kind, and avocado, which I love,” she said about her order. “This is the best salsa I have had,” said another customer, motioning to the bowl of salsa on the table. Molcajete’s is a family run operation, Laticia Capulin told The Paper. She and her husband, Aaron
Garrido, had a restaurant in Rochester, but loved the city and community feel of Wabash, so they relocated and got to work on opening a new restaurant here. Capulin told the paper that the grand opening went well, and they look forward to continue serving the city of Wabash.

Christopher resigns 4-H post By Joseph Slacian jslacian@thepaperofwabash.com Angela Christopher has left the Purdue Cooperative Wabash County Extension Office. Christopher, the Extension Educator – 4-H Youth Development agent, resigned effective Wednesday, Aug. 21. She will now be teach-
ing middle school science in the Maconaquah School District. “It was a tough decision,” she told The Paper of Wabash County. “I have a lot of really good memories, fun times, especially with the 4-H members and some awesome volunteers here in Wabash County.” Christopher, who has been here for
seven fairs and six years, said she will miss the kids the most. “I’ve been posting some fun Facebook posts over the past week,” she said. “The camp counselors, my Teens as Teachers programs, those are kids I’ve spent a long time with.” Christopher has teaching licenses for elementary school as well as high school English and language arts, as well as speech communications. “Science isn’t quite what I’m licensed in, but 4-H has prepared me well for that because that’s one of the three mission areas that we’ve been focusing on heavily ever since I’ve been in this job. “I think it will be a good fit for that rea-
son. I’ve applied for an emergency science license, so we’ll go from there.” Information on applying for the vacant position created by Christopher’s departure will be posted on the Purdue University website. A master’s degree will be required for the position, and any applications must go through Purdue, not the local office. In the meantime, some staff members will pick up some slack, while other things will be placed on hold until a replacement is hired.

Signup begins for USDA program From the USDA Signup is open for the Market Facilitation Program (MFP), a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program to assist farmers who continue to suffer from damages because of unjustified trade retaliation from foreign nations. Through MFP, USDA will provide up to $14.5 billion in direct payments to impacted producers, part of a broader trade relief package announced in late July. The sign-up period runs through Dec. 6. “Our team at USDA reflected on what worked well and gathered feedback on last year’s program to make this one even stronger and more effective for farmers. Our farmers work hard, are the most productive in the world, and we aim to match their enthusiasm and patriotism as we support them,” said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue. MFP payments will be made to producers of certain nonspecialty and specialty crops as well as dairy and hog producers. Non-Specialty Crops MFP payments will be made to producers of alfalfa hay, barley, canola, corn, crambe, dried beans, dry peas, extra-long staple cotton, flaxseed, lentils, long grain and medium grain rice, millet, mustard seed, oats,
peanuts, rapeseed, rye, safflower, sesame seed, small and large chickpeas, sorghum, soybeans, sunflower seed, temperate japonica rice, triticale, upland cotton, and wheat. MFP assistance for 2019 crops is based on a single county payment rate multiplied by a farm’s total plantings to the MFPeligible crops in aggregate in 2019. Those per acre payments are not dependent on which of those crops are planted in 2019. A producer’s total payment-eligible plantings cannot exceed total 2018 plantings. Wabash County’s payment rate is $68 per acre. Dairy and Hogs Dairy producers who were in business as of June 1, 2019, will receive a per hundredweight payment on production history, and hog producers will receive a payment based on the number of live hogs owned on a day selected by the producer between April 1 and May 15, 2019. Specialty Crops MFP payments will also be made to producers of almonds, cranberries, cultivated ginseng, fresh grapes, fresh sweet cherries, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. Each specialty crop will receive a payment
based on 2019 acres of fruit or nut bearing plants, or in the case of ginseng, based on harvested acres in 2019. More Information Payments will be made in up to three tranches, with the second and third tranches evaluated as market conditions and trade opportunities dictate. If conditions warrant, the second and third tranches will be made in November and early January. MFP payments are limited to a combined $250,000 for nonspecialty crops per person or legal entity. MFP payments are also limited to a combined $250,000 for dairy and hog producers and a combined $250,000 for specialty crop producers. However, no applicant can receive more than $500,000. Eligible applicants must also have an average adjusted gross income (AGI) for tax years 2015, 2016, and 2017 of less than $900,000, or 75 percent of the person’s or legal entity’s average AGI for those tax years must have been derived from farming and ranching. Applicants must also comply with the provisions of the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation regulations.

First, we want to thank our sponsors for their continued support year after year. Next, we want to thank Greg & Gabi Pettit, Bill and Lois Rettig and Gary Bryant and all those who volunteer their time to help in any way to make the Cruise In such a wonderful event for the city of Wabash. We, also, wish to thank those of you who brought your cars for the show and all of you who attended this special, once a year occurrence. Of course, a big thank you goes to the Honeywell Center for providing a beautiful location for the show. As you may know, this was the 20th Anniversary of the Cruise In so it was an extra special event for the Kunkel Family. We had 24
family members in attendance from six different states – Idaho, Wyoming, Tennessee, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. Some of these family members had never been to the Cruise In and they were so impressed with the number of vehicles involved and the organization of the event. Family members were also
Just get along Dear Editor: I just feel that I have to express my feelings about our country. This isn’t about politics, this is about caring and compassion for other people that don’t look like you or me or anybody that is different. Our country is so full of hate and most of us don’t know what to do about it. We’ve never had this problem. We’ve always been a giving and wel-
coming country. We need to come together again. I always remember being so proud of the United State of America and sadly I feel ashamed of what we’re becoming. Who I’m concerned for are my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and all the younger generation of today. — Marcia Short, Wabash

It is the hope and prayer of the Kunkel Family that someday ALS will be treatable and that patients suffering from this ailment will be able to live a long and meaningful life.

He finished his time on stage with a song that he deems his “most personal song,” called “Beauty of the Blood.” Next, Jim McComas was welcomed to the stage where he began by asking the audience “Who is God’s favorite?” He then went on to prove, through scripture, that God favors the people who are broken. “If you are broken for any reason, you are God’s favorite,” he told the crowd. “The truth of The Word is that the very thing that has caused you to be broken is the very reason that God is closest to you.” He explained that it doesn’t matter why a person is broken, whether it is because of grief, sickness, or circumstance, that

He followed his message with the telling of his story, how he lost his son, Michael, to drug addiction. “Our family was a typical Midwest, small town American family,” McComas said. He shared anecdotes about the normalcy of his son’s childhood, baseball games and birthday parties. McComas then went on to explain that his Michael’s addiction started with alcohol, then pot, then pills. “It is so easy to wake up one day and find that the thing you thought you had control over, has taken control of you,” he said before sharing that Michael’s addiction to pills turned into a heroin addiction. After jail, and rehab, Michael was
clean nine months and doing the best he had done for a while. This was Christmas of 2016. He shared a picture of himself, his wife, and his sons. “We had no idea that that would be the last picture we would have with him,” he said to the crowd who went silent as they
waited for him to continue. Through tears, McComas challenged the audience to enjoy each day as it happens. “One day, those memories of today, may be all that you have left.” McComas lost his son to an overdose
February 25, 2017, just a few days shy of his one-year anniversary of being clean. He said that God worked through this loss by making it possible for him to share his story and help other people who are struggling with addiction or loss due to addiction.

Newest Spartan Their entire family is very loving, very fun and very energetic, and that’s exactly the type of people we want to be around our soccer team.” Team IMPACT Executive Director Seth Rosenweig sent a letter to Carson congratulating him on his selection at Manchester. “The mens soccer team at Manchester University … is thrilled to be adding Carson to their roster this season,” the letter read. “Your teammates have big goals for this season and know that adding you to their roster is the first step in achieving those goals. “Team IMPACT is also excited to have you join our family. You are a fighter, Carson, and it is your ‘never give up’ attitude and unbreakable spirit that make you an ideal teammate,” Rosenweig continued.
“Your teammates are counting on you, Carson. Your commitment to your team is what makes you so special...” Jarrod McKee, Carson’s father, was beyond thrilled for Carson. “This is a great day for our family to be a part of this with Carson,” he said. “It’s such a big day for Carson just being part of something that’s bigger than himself. I think it’s really cool for these student-athletes to be exposed to something like this.” McKee said Carson was excited for the day and the time he would spend with his new teammates. “He was really pumped up,” McKee said. “He has a lot of fun with them and jokes around with them in just the short amount of times we’ve spent with them. He’s looking forward for this year.”

He also takes medication with every meal that allows Carson’s pancreas to absorb fat soluble vitamins. However, Carson is not limited physically right now with his condition. “The best thing for Carson throughout his life is physical activity,” McKee said. “It’s the best therapy for him to be active. He’s going to be involved in every sport that he can. This is going to help his condition exponentially as he gets older – the more active he is, the better.” McKee said Carson enjoys all sports beyond soccer. “He’s a typical Hoosier – loves basketball and baseball –

Presbyterian School hires new director The Presbyterian School announced this week that Addie Neher has been hired as director. Neher is an Association of M o n t e s s o r i Internationale (AMI) certified Primary Montessori Guide. She holds a Master’s of Education from Loyola University Maryland and a bachelor’s degree from M a n c h e s t e r University. For five years, the Wabash Presbyterian Church has offered Godly Play, a Montessori-inspired Sunday School curriculum during services on Sundays and during chapel time at The Presbyterian School. In 2018, the Presbyterian School re-evaluated its entire curriculum to focus on play-based activities which included Montessori work. Carol Early, a longtime Southwood Elementary kinder-
garten teacher, praised The Presbyterian School’s curriculum for encouraging the natural brain development of young children. “The Presbyterian School prepares children for the classroom work of Kindergarten while also encouraging outdoor, sensory, and community play that preschoolers need,” she said. Neher’s appointment as director will provide the background experience and education to hone in on the Montessori aspects of primary education at the Presbyterian School. The Presbyterian School will be the only school in Wabash County to offer this type of education. Neher indicated that she pursued Montessori education because of its emphasis on the natural emotional, physical, and brain develop-
ment of children. She said that, “Children should have concrete, sensorial experiences with foundational concepts. They should be able to follow their natural tendencies and be treated with respect.” A difference that parents will notice in a Montessori Children’s House is that the classroom includes children between ages 3-6. This allows students to learn from each other and to be teachers to each other. Parents will also notice that the entire classroom is centered around the student’s independence and is student-led. Children will be encouraged to choose work that interests them and to spend as much time as they’d like working on a project or activity they start. An important goal of Montessori education is to prepare students to be critical thinkers,

Population then, and is projected to continue through 2050. In the end, Mark Becker of Becker Consulting, told the audience that there is no magic bullet to stop the decline. Rather, he continued, local leaders should focus on what they can control. To do that, according the study’s findings, local leaders need to develop one plan and work on developing a countywide fiscal policy analysis. It also suggests aligning with regional partners, develop leadership and create ways for leaders to engage and impact the community, and to welcome newcomers, particularly those from diverse cultures. M a n c h e s t e r University, Becker noted, is a perfect place to help make that last recommendation a reality. Other recommendations include contin-

ued focus on downtown revitalization in Wabash and North Manchester, and create advanced housing strategies in those two communities. Being aggressive in support of existing businesses and employers also was suggested, as was a long-time focus to identify and understand the county’s core economic strengths. Education also was a part of the recommendations. The county must maintain a competitive public K-12 education system, the study suggested. It also noted that school administrations should develop programs to inform students about local job opportunities and related skill requirements, as well as creating sustainable incentives for young adults to start their careers in Wabash County. One area noticeably
missing from the education recommendations, as pointed out by an audience member, was school consolidation. Becker noted that following the discussion, audience members were invited to give their input on the various aspects of the findings and rate what they believed to be the most important things needed to be done to stem the population loss. If they chose, he said, consolidation could be addressed via that input. In the end, maintaining a competitive public K-12 education system was deemed by attendees at the two meetings as the most important thing on which to work. Building Wabash County’s brand, developing a county plan and having advanced housing strategies in both Wabash and North Manchester also were deemed the second, third and
fourth most important items, respectively, organizers reported. Officials from C o m m u n i t y Foundation will be announcing plans for the next step in the process in the coming weeks.

Teen entrepreneurs receive grant On Wednesday, Aug. 21, local business owners Landon Topliff and Alix Winer traveled to Fort Wayne to be presented a Young Visionary grant. They are the cofounders of Bizzy Beez LLC, a beekeeping business located south of town. They have just recently been established as an LLC, as of June 28. They have received a total of three grants in the last year including the Grow Wabash County’s Innovate Wabash County pitch competition. That grant included $500 cash, and $3000 worth of local services. They have taken advantage of their opportunity, and have hit the ground running. They received their second grant valued at $1,000 from
The Fortitude Fund based out of Fort Wayne. Their third grant awarded was the Young Visionaries Believe in a Dream Grant valued at $1,000. Both of these young entrepreneurs are still in their high school career. Landon is a senior, and Alix is a junior, both attending Southwood High School “Beekeeping is one of those things that just clicked,” Landon said. “I have never really thought of being anything other than a beekeeper since we have started this.

Officials tour Eel River Watershed Wabash County officials hosted a legislative tour of the Eel River Watershed projects in the county on Monday, Aug. 5. The purpose of the tour was to provide an experiential journey to a few key sites that clearly illustrate how scientists, farmers, local, state and federal natural resource agencies have worked side-by-side to improve the Eel River basin while maintaining or improving agricultural productivity. The tour began at 9 a.m. at the Wabash County Soil and Water Conservation District office at 599 Bryan Avenue. The tour group was composed of local county council representatives, state representatives, and congressional representatives. During the tour, participants met and learned from key conservation partners including the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Wabash County Soil & Water Conservation District, Ecosystems C o n n e c t i o n s Institute, LLC, Indiana Corn Marketing Council, Indiana Soybean Alliance and local producers. Because of
these close working relationships, the Eel River Watershed was voted one of the top 10 watersheds to watch in the United States by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2017. During the threehour journey, legislators got to visit the Wabash County Farm, where conservation farming and education/outreach techniques were discussed. The County Farm was followed by a visit to Beargrass Creek two-stage ditch and water quality gage station. The third stop on the tour was the dam removal site in North Manchester. Low head dams, their ecological and recreational effects were covered in detail. The last stop of the day was the Stockdale Mill Dam Fish Ladder.

I could talk and talk about this topic because there is so much I could say. I am very excited, and I know Alix is as well. This is a life long journey that we are very excited about.”

and there are plans for further development if the Lions can get community support. Currently it is being used for baseball games and car shows. Over the past two years indoor restrooms with running water have been built and a new charcoal grill has been installed which adds to the value of the park as a picnic area. The Lions would like your ideas for increased use of this well equipped and maintained center of activities for Urbana. The park now features existing children’s playground equipment, baseball field, basketball court, barbeque grill, pavilion and a snack shack. These are just a few of the items that could be used to host your event. If you would like to
indicate your interest in helping this area serve the residents of Urbana, you can contact any of the Urbana Lion members and give them your ideas for use of the park. The Urbana Lions are always looking for new members. If you want to be a part of an organization that does a lot of work for the Urbana community, contact any
Lion member and they will see that you get an application to join. U r b a n a Streetlights: It is my understanding that several people have made a comment or questioned as to why the streetlights maybe shut off. Here is the best explanation I can give you. Right now the lights are not in real

U r b a n a Community had a National Guard unit which was an exceptional unit. This unit was called Company G, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment. The guard consisted of 67 brave men of Urbana. Joe Beeks was one of them. Remember when I stated that the school was constructed on Main Street in Urbana in 1910 and in 1928 it was remodeled to have 12 grades? Beeks was the principal at that time. With him are some other members from Urbana. Maybe some of them you might know or remember. Boyton Baker, John Wolf, Myrval Kratzer and Roy Clark just to name a few. The Indiana National Guard can trace its beginnings back to 1801, when the Indiana Territory organized militia companies to defend local settlements. Forefathers of Indiana National Guard’s 151st Infantry Regiment fought with General William Henry Harrison at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. But the founding of militia elements that later came to be recognized as the National Guard of the United States, of which the Indiana National Guard is part, happened much earlier in our nation’s history. Regiments in North America were organized in Massachusetts in December 1636. The National Guard predates the United States Army which was founded in 1775, and all other militia forces of the United States of America. So take pride that our little town of Urbana had a National Guard unit, Company G, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment and were willing to defend this nation. Just how cool is this. THE URBANA LIONS are looking for additional ways the Lions (community) park can be used by the residents of Urbana. The park has been developed into an area with many features that make it stand out in our community. The park has much potential at present

danger, but within the next few years without the funds the lights will be shut off. Some of the residents here in Urbana have not given any money for the lights in several years. They figure that they have a security light, that is enough light. Remember when Urbana held a Christmas Journey several years ago and we had all the Streetlights turned off. Boy! It was dark and it cost a substantial amount of the light fund’s money to turn them back on. Duke Energy failed to tell us that part of the deal. That is why we only did the journey for one year. We just could not afford it anymore. If anyone would like to look at the books that others as well as myself have been keeping, you are welcome. Figures don’t lie.

Plans for Grissom air expo taking shape By Master Sgt. Benjamin Mota 434th ARW Public Affairs BUNKER HILL — As Sept. 7-8 gets closer the lineup of acts and static displays continue to come into focus for the Grissom Air & Space Expo. “Many of the plans our committee have been working the last 18 months are starting to really come into fruition,” said Douglas Hays, 434th Air Refueling Wing chief of public affairs. The event is free and open to the public. “When we say free, we mean free parking and free entry,” Hays said. Recent updates to the event were announced and include an FG1-D
Corsair, P-51 Mustang, F-5A, and F-86 Sabre demonstrations, and a American Champ Super Decathlon to the list of aircraft flying during the show. “This is a flying event,” said Col. Larry Shaw, 434th ARW commander. “We want to have as many aircraft up in the air for people to see as we can – we’re the Air Force!” P r e v i o u s l y announced fliers include the Thunderbirds, F-16CM Viper, KC-135R, A-10 Warthog and Army Golden Knights The committee hopes to land a couple more fliers within the next couple weeks to bolster the flying lineup. “We’ve got a couple contracts in the works for some exciting civil-
ian acts,” said Lt. Col. Brian Thompson, airshow director. “Once the ink is on the paper we’ll be announcing those as well.” While the skies will be filled with aviation acts and performers, those needing to give their necks a break from looking up will find plenty of aircraft on the tarmac to see. Recent addition to the static display line up include a C-47, F8F Bearcat, and TBM Avenger. They join previously announced static displays of T-6 Texan, T38 Talon, KC-10 Extender, C-5 Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster, F-35 Lightning, A-10 Warthog, F-16 Fighting Falcon, UH-1 Huey and UH-60 Black Hawk. Other events and activities are in the
works as well. “This is a great event for our neighbors,” Hays said. “You can’t beat the price, it’s free!” The Grissom Air & Space Expo is the first major community relations event since 2003. “Air shows are a great way for our friends and neighbors to see what Grissom is all about,” Hays said. “The whole intent is to inspire people to join the military, retain the quality force we have and to inspire visitors by highlighting the capabilities and professionalism of the Air Force.” He added that he’d

the Gallery encompasses the semi-circle of the Honeywell Center Porter Lobby, foot traffic exceeds 170,000 guests per year. Corporate sponsorship is provided by American Huey 369. The Gallery is open to the public during
regular operating hours. For more information, contact Michele Hughes, Clark Gallery Manager at mhughes@honeywellfoundation.org or by contacting the Honeywell Box Office at 260-563-1102.

Zingy Zucchini Zeros Note: I’ve divided the recipe in two as both can be prepared separately or in tandem. ZEROS Prep Time: 15 minutes: Cook Time: 20-30 minutes; Total Time: 40-45 minutes Yield: Approximately 8 shells. 4 cups coarsely grated/shredded zucchini 1 large egg 4 ounces parmesan cheese, hand-grated 1/4 cup bread crumbs 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon natural fine sea salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper then spray with cooking spray and set aside. Shred or grate zucchini then squeeze out as much excess liquid as you can. (Pre-freezing then thawing or microwaving fresh zucchini slightly will help this veggie to release excess moisture.) Place drained/squeezed zucchini in a large bowl then add remaining ingredients and, using clean hands, mix well until mixture cleans the sides of the

bowl and makes a formable dough. Using a 1/4 -cup measure, divide dough up into even portions, forming into balls. Place each ball onto prepared baking sheet then press down, flattening evenly into a thin, approximately 5” zeros (circle). Repeat with remaining dough. Place pans in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes then rotate pans and, using a spatula, carefully flip each zero over. Return to oven and bake about 10 more minutes or until zeros look to be browning around the edges. Do not over bake or zeros will dry out and become hard. Remove from oven and use immediately or refrigerate for later use. Alternate Stove Top Method: Zeros can be cooked on a stove griddle instead. To do so, preheat griddle to medium heat. Place one dough ball in the center of a 6-inch square of parchment sprayed with cooking spray. Flatten dough into a 5-inch zero (circle). Place parchment with dough face down on griddle and cook until it begins to separate from parchment. Remove paper and flip zero to cook other side. Once cooked through and edges get slightly crispy, remove from griddle. Repeat with remaining dough. Do not overcook or zeros with become hard and stiff. Note: to soften zeros, place them, along with a wet paper towel, into a microwave and then cook at 10-15 second intervals until softened. Keep in a covered container with a wet paper towel to keep soft.
FILLING Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 30 minutes: Total Time: 45 minutes Yield: Approximately 4 servings 1 tablespoon oil 1 small onion 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 cups vegetable broth 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 tablespoon tomato paste In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, combine oil and diced onion. Cook, stirring, until onions begin to caramelize – about 10 minutes. Using spatula, scrape onions off to the outer edges of the pan then add the chicken. Scoot onions over the top of the breasts and for 3 minutes on each side of breast to encourage browning. Add broth, spices and tomato paste then stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen bits into the broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook, slightly covered for 15 minutes then reduce heat to low and, using two forks, shred breast meat into the broth. Once chicken is completely shredded, cover pan and let coast on low heat until serving.
