casi scholarship program at work
June 2005 Web Page www.chili.org Volume 18 Issue 6 CASI SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AT WORK Photo by Donn Shands Dani Medlin, Great Pepper (R) and Shree Duncan, Pepper Popper (L) of Dam POD, presenting a check to Mel Fitzhenry, CASI President Dallas Area Metroplex Pod (DAM) is proud to contribute a check for $1000 to the CASI Scholarship Fund with proceeds from their annual New Year’s Eve Chili and Black Eyed Pea Cook Off and Ring In The New Year Party. Each year holds a new theme. Anything from Disco in the Tropics to a Frat House Toga Party! This event is held on New Year’s Eve at the North Texas State Fairgrounds in Denton, Texas. Cooks from as far away as Houston, Terlingua and Snyder make the trek to this fun filled event yearly. The chili is hot, the peas are lucky and the music is loud. But, the PARTY is not to be missed! CASI Hot Line 888-CASIHOT If you have a cookoff coming up in the month of August your cookoff information must be in the hands of the CASI Upcomings Director by June 15th to meet the 30 day cookoff advertising requirement. Grace Lim, a graduating senior from Buena High School in Sierra Vista, Arizona, was presented her four-year CASI scholarship for $1000 each year on Monday, May 16, 2005 by Greg Monger, Pepper Popper from High Desert Pod. Grace will attend Georgetown University in the Washington D.C. area and study pre-medicine and hopes to eventually become a pediatrician. Grace is a fine example of American youth today. She and her family thanked CASI for the scholarship. Chili Appreciation Society International Inc. 3802 Manchaca Road Austin, Texas 78704 Non Profit Organization US Postage Paid Kerrville, Texas Permit No. 81 Page 2 Terlingua Trails June 2005 ED Ponderings Susan and I decided it was time to look for a motorhome that would afford us more living space when we’re on the road for extended periods of time. I felt that we should honor our sponsors by starting at Ancira. We didn’t need to go anywhere else. They were great. The entire process of looking at vehicles and working out acceptable terms was very pleasant and professional. I’m glad we gave them a chance. CASI has great sponsors and they deserve our loyalty. Please let them know you appreciate their support and give them an opportunity when you decide to make a purchase. Let’s take a look at the timetable for Great Peppers Meeting preparations. Sammie Plant and her committee have been working hard to arrange a great time for everyone in San Angelo. Great Peppers Meeting registration forms have gone out in the mail. To avoid a late fee, these must be returned to Sammie Plant by August 2. The host pod needs to plan meeting space, meals, and other details that vary depending on the number of attendees. Please register early to make their task easier. Rules change letters have gone out to all of the pods. I hope there is a lot of productive discussion going on. To be considered, rules change proposals have to be back to me no later than July 1. I will then compile the proposals and send them to all Great Peppers before the end of July so they can be discussed at the August pod meetings. Pod Credentials forms will go in the mail in late June and will be due back no later than September 1. Last year, everyone did a great job of getting their credentials in so they could be processed in time. I thank you for that and hope we can do it again. This year, I will be typing your information into the live database on the CASI Central Information System. Please be certain all of your pod officers and referees have paid their dues through next year or include a check for their dues with your packet. If you don’t, the CIS will reject them and we’ll have a lot of extra work to get it cleared up. Again, let’s keep up the good work just like last year. Candidate forms, included in the packet, are due back to me by July 25. If you need one and you don’t have access to a pod copy, let me know and I’ll send one to you. Phew! We all have lots to do in the next three months. We’ll be at cookoffs in Texas, Wyoming, and Colorado this month. I hope to see you on the trail. Thanks for all that you do.

Right after that, I was inundated by two address change notifications. With the advent of the CASI Central Information System and its merged membership/ cooks databases, it is even more vital to let us know your current address. If you want to receive your Terlingua Trails and/or you want to be invited to TICC, we need to know where to find you. Mikie, Ralph and I all have our addresses, phone numbers and emails published in the Terlingua Trails. Please think of us when you move. By the time you read this, I will have mailed over 300 cook and show team qualification cards. Are you saving these cards? They can be very useful. They can remind you that you have to be somewhere on November 5, 2005. They can settle an argument if someone doesn’t believe that you qualified. And, most importantly, in the event you can’t make it to Terlingua, they might get you a contestant shirt. I will go over the contestant shirt policy later when we are closer to TICC, but here is a brief on why that qualification card could come in handy. The fact that you qualified in Chili or Show does not guarantee you a TICC contestant shirt. Registration for Chili and/or Show at TICC does. In ordering the shirts, our goal is to make sure that every TICC participant gets a shirt, and it’s the size they want. To do this, we order more shirts than our anticipated need. Allowing absent qualified cooks or show team captains to have a shirt is our method of disposing of the extra shirts. Presenting your card is our way of making sure we give the person presenting your card a shirt intended for you.

To get a certificate (proof of insurance) for your cookoff, please contact Michelle Moreau-Account Manager, Consolidated Insurance Center, Inc., 11403 Cronridge Drive, PO Box 0664, Owings Mills, MD 21117-0664, Phone: 410-356-9500, Fax: 410-363-3520, Email: [email protected] Scholarship Recipient Update I would like to thank CASI for giving me a scholarship in 2002 to allow me to pursue my degree in the teaching field. I am in my third year at Northlake College obtaining a slow degree while working at the YMCA doing what I love: coaching, umpiring, and being the Assistant Sports Director. After my time at Northlake, I plan to transfer to the University of North Texas to pursue a degree in Secondary Education. Thank you once again to all the people of CASI who have facilitated my college education. Kris Hudspeth Page 4 Terlingua Trails June 2005 Bess's Best CASI Membership Report Hello to all from cool and chilly Lamar, Missouri. Just when I thought it was time to forget about all the frost and cold weather, here it comes again. Fortunately, we’ve been able to save our tomato plants and several flowers. I know our yard doesn’t look the best with old sheets and bedspreads draped over everything, but it does the job. And it’s a lot easier than getting up at sunrise and spraying Mikie McGarity - Membership Chairperson Thank you to all of our members who have renewed their annual dues.

As I write this in May, school is out in Lamar. This year they didn’t have to miss school days during the winter because of bad weather. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad; it gives us the grandkids for two extra weeks. Harry made out a schedule of small jobs for the kids to do, but if it’s like last year and the year before, he ends up doing more fussing about the way they work, so I usually end up helping or doing most of the work. I’m starting to fall back into my daily routine after my near encounter with serious injury or possible death about 3 weeks ago. For those who have been to our shop, they will know what I’m talking about and for those who haven’t, I will try to explain. The building we have for our shop and detail business used to be the main office for the area Phillips 66 agency. The agency closed several years ago, but the large 4X6 foot outdoor sign has remained as a landmark in Lamar. The sign was on a pole some 30 feet in the air and it came down without warning, missing me by about a foot. Harry and I were finishing up a detail job when this occurred. I have no idea what the sign weighs, but it took Harry and two other guys to carry it into the shop. I’m not sure when the sign is going to get put back up. Harry’s having problems with his hands and arms, and I have to do a lot of the things that he normally does. This year is both of our 45th class reunions, but different schools and towns. I’ve had to do about all of the work on Harry’s reunion and have now been made chairperson of my class reunion. Somehow in the midst of all this confusion, I have been successful in increasing the amount of items donated for the Missouri State Chili Cookoff raffle. I’ve had this raffle, as well as very large goody bags for the cooks, for the past 3 years and as I said, this year looks super! This year, I have two ladies designer wristwatches, tickets and accommodations to shows in Branson, Missouri, plus many more large items. Oh, somehow I found the time to transport Harry back and forth to his specialist in Springfield, to make sure Austin and Cheyene have clean clothes every day which means extra laundry, scheduling time for rodeo practice and dance lessons, and summer baseball. I thought by now we would have made several cookoffs, but as bad luck or whatever would have it, we’ve only been able to cook twice this year. I know and realize that each and every one of you have just as many problems and difficulties as Harry and I, but somehow when you hear others are having problems also, it makes you think that what you have is not so bad. Always remember that it doesn’t matter how well you have things scheduled or planned, you always want to be ready for the unexpected. I have seen on television when a sports star has to give up his profession for one reason or another and how emotional and upset they become. I understand now what they are going thru when I see Harry having to give up so much he loves and has done most of his life when he cannot do it or has to ask for help. As I said, be ready for the unexpected and give thanks for what you have each day. In the morning starts a busy summer, so I have to get started planning menus, making Kool Aid, and all the other good stuff that goes with being a Granny. So if the Lord is willing and the creek doesn’t rise (and no more signs fall), I’ll talk to you about this time again next month. Bess and Harry Donations, Contributions and Memorials Many thanks for contributions this month to the National Scholarship Fund from the Dallas Area Metroplex Pod and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford County, Maryland.

Bucky Page 6 Terlingua Trails TALES FROM THE RANCH Orale CASI, God bless CASI y que paso everybody? Pretty quiet here at the ranch. Actually, not much going on here in Concho County. Well, I traveled on down to South Padre Island for a homeowners meeting last week and lo and behold, a chili cook-off broke out. So, being down there already, I decided to attend the festivities. Ran into some chili friends throughout the chili world. Being familiar with the country side, I decided to volunteer myself to be the designated tour guide. Mr. Bruce Pinnell and his lovely wife Sharon came down Thursday and as soon as the motor home was parked and hooked up, we headed for Mexico. I took Bruce and Sharon to a little town called Nuevo Progresso, just across from Progresso, Texas. We did the usual turista thing. Went shopping, drank some of the local beverages, and ate some very good seafood cuisine. Had a good time in all. Friday, Bruce and I made a visit to the local establishments on the island while Mrs. Sharon and Debbie Eiland (Ginger) Turner went shopping. Mr. (Fred Astair) Wayne Turner was partaking in some R & R in his RV so we decided not to bother him. Later Friday night, Bruce, Sharon and I went back to Mexico. This time we went to Cuidad Matamoras Tamalipas, a little town across from Brownsville, TX. Once again, we did the turista thing, went shopping, ate some good food, purchased some curiosidades and came back to the island. Had a real good time with Bruce and Sharon. Next time you see Ms. Sharon, ask her about the chicken. I can’t elaborate on it, cause what happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico. You knowwhatimean Vern? Saturday was cook-off day. I mingled around the area, visited with Bruce and Cindy Wilkins, Mama Maxine, Bruce and Honey Jones, another couple from Houston, Ray King and his wife pat, Clif Dugan, Mr. Bob Coats and his wife Doris C. Had a good time visiting all day with all my chili friends. Next day was Sunday, Mothers Day, so I decided to treat Mrs. Doris to a trip to Mexico. Bob, Doris, Clif Dugan and I got up early and headed for Mexico. I took everybody to Nuevo Progresso since Bob and Doris C had never been there. Again we did the turista thing. Went shopping, ate some good food, etc, etc, then went back to the island. Everybody went to bed, got up Monday and everybody went home. I stayed, still had some more business to tend to. I was glad to see some chili friends and visit. Don’t see very many chili folks on the island very often. Just had our Black Gold cook-off here in Odessa. Had several out of town folks drive in for the fandango. Now some people have shenanigans, but down here in Odessa, we have gala’s, fandango’s, pachangas, windmill fixins, nut cuttins, an occasional wedding, once in a while a couple in their mid fifties decide to elope, and then we have lots of rodeos. The cook-off went well. Our GP, Mr Leroy Childress and his wife Patsy had their hands full. My fellow rancher and trusty companion, Mr. Dave Boone and staff treated everyone to a wonderful fish fry. Our wonderful Black Gold ladies and out of town visiting ladies also June 2005 provided covered dishes for the occasion. Good job everybody. Hats off to all those who received the coveted pump jack. The 2005 Texas Ladies State champ flew in for the affair. We thank Dana for making the long trip. Sunday’s cook-off was cancelled due to inclement weather otherwise we would have had another great cook-off. Way to go to the winners of the domino tournament. Thanks to everyone involved. Couldn’t have done it without you. More happenings. It seems that we have a dedicated chili cook that has decided to take up farming, along with cooking chili so to speak. The man in question is no other than Mr. Green Acres, Future Farmer of America, Steve Nadeau. Yo Rita. Scuttlebutt has it that Mr. Nadeau has this forty foot tractor that can plow a row straighter than anyone can imagine, and this is according to some veteran farmers that were present. It all came about at a chili cook-off where Mr. Nadeau was demonstrating his farming skills and had one of his rows on display. Yea buddy. Folks from all around came to see this display of modern farming technology. His wife Margaret was interviewed about the instant fame and all she could say was that she was proud to be married to a blond husband. What can I say folks. Next time you see Steve, ask him about his hydraulic jacks on his new motor home. Who knows, you might even get to see a straight row. To go along with this subject, Mr. Tex Riley has just purchased a new tractor and it seems that there may be a farming venture in the works between Tex and Steve. Nobody knows about what type of crop production these two farmers will produce but for more up to the latest news, click on chiliphoto.com for your updates on chili news and progressive farming. What can I say folks, CASI has talented members with undisputed, impeccable taste. Ok folks, gotta lock up the chickens before rocky raccoon beats me to it. Keep cooking; see you down the road somewhere. Words of Wisdom: 1.The one who asks, is a fool for 5 minutes. The one who does not ask, is a fool forever. 2. Experience is a wonderful thing.

June 2005 Terlingua Trails Page 7 A View from the Top of an Ole Chilihead I’m still having pink dreams. Bud was right on about the Texas Ladies State Cookoff. I have never seen so much pink. I think Colleen Wallace has started a new tradition with the pink decorated hats parade. I hear ladies already discussing what they are going to wear next year. Congratulations, ladies. Your cookoff is now the largest cookoff in the world except for Terlingua. There were 207 cooks registered. You surpassed Texas Men’s State for the first time. Guys, we have to make a concerted effort to get more cooks to Johnson City for Men’s State. They run an excellent cookoff. We need to give them our full support. The Texas Ladies State Board has made some changes. After many years of hard work, three members have retired from the board. They are Bob & Ava Horan and Sherrie Davis. The three new members are: James Bauer Registrar, Donna Conrad and Jim McKee. Here’s some information you need to mark on your calendar for next year’s Ladies State weekend. As you may or may not know, the date has always been predicated by the date Easter falls. It is always the third weekend when Easter is not on the third weekend. Next year, Easter falls on the third weekend, so Ladies State will be moved up a week as in the past. The date for Texas Ladies State next year will be April 8, 2005 and the Classic Pod cookoff will be on Sunday April 9, 2005. The TLS board tells me they will keep on making your cookoff better each year. I’m already looking forward to being there. See you on the trail to Terlingua. H. Ray King ANCIRA CHILI COOK OFF Hello all you chiliheads out there! Well it’s been another whole month. It sure seems like the time is just dragging by. Well did any of you figure out what a woman’s yet is? If I don’t forget, I’ll tell you at the end of the letter. I don’t know but I’ve been told that the Trails is going to print a registration form in it. I wouldn’t know for sure because I’m not getting mine! And I’ve been told I can’t feed you any tree rats, either! I told them if they didn’t want me to come up with all these delicious exotic delicacies to just quit asking me about the menu. Anyway, I am in charge of hospitality and when I get through with you, you won’t care if we feed you tree rat or escargot! Hey, how about that, a Frenchy two-dollar word out of my two bit brain! Here’s a little something from our Great Pepper. Good morning! I’m supposed to write something for the Terlingua Trails but not to the point of discrediting anything Bill has written. He’s only in training and no one else could do the jobs I’ve imposed on him. We’re having a great time putting together this Great Peppers’ Meeting. The SACA Pod probably has the best of the best members when it comes to something of this magnitude. Sometimes they even tell me NO! Can you imagine? They think I’m at the point that maybe I can keep my mouth shut a little and not tell everything we’re doing. I just love secrets, don’t you? We’ll have three smoking and one non-smoking room on the 4th floor for hospitality. Only chili people will be on that floor, so it should keep down the complaints. If you don’t want to be there, let me know as I do have a little pull with the hotel. We are looking forward to seeing you and showing all of you some old fashioned San Angelo hospitality. Sammie Ha! I wouldn’t touch that pile even if I had rubber gloves on up to my neck. Well, I don’t have a lot to say now (Sammie said it all) but you can bet your bottom dollar I will next month because we’re having a chili cookoff and some “Sammie Meetings” this month.

Keith Barkley presenting 1st place trophy to James Bauer at the Backbone Creek Cookoff June 2005 Terlingua Trails Page 17 Candidates Running for the CASI Board of Directors Moore to Run for Re-Election to Board To CASI Members, Great Peppers and Board Members: I come to you asking for your consideration in re-electing me to the CASI Board. I want to continue on the Board of Directors because I believe I still have much to contribute. As your Public Relations Director, I responded to over 100 e-mails requesting information relative to CASI, and wrote and disseminated press releases relative to the National Scholarship Program, the Great Peppers’ Meeting, and TICC. The Terlingua Passport was updated while I served as Public Relations Director. I also started a CASI Press Scrapbook to store articles relative to the organization. Chuck Taylor Letter of Candidacy To the CASI Great Peppers, Board of Directors and Members: Yes, I’m back again! It is with great pleasure that I announce my plans to run for a Directors position on the CASI Board of Directors at the 2005 CASI Great Pepper’s Meeting in San Angelo, Texas. I have served as the Great Pepper of the State of Texas Pod, Editor of the SOT Pod Newsletter and Chairperson of the Nominating Committee. I am currently serving my third year as an Area Referee, and on the SOT Pod Stirring Committee, along with being on the TMS Committee for 2 years. I am a Lifetime Member of CASI and an Old 320 Member. Last year, I volunteered to run the 2004 Bean Championship Cookoff at TICC, which was bigger and better than the year before and have volunteered to do it again in 2005. I have been around and involved with the Chili World for approximately 30 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I hope that I have the opportunity serve as a Director on the CASI Board, so that I can give back to the Chili World what I have gain from it over the years and to serve to the best of my ability the members of CASI. This still takes to heart the CASI mission statement: “We are making a difference with Chili”. We must maintain an open line of communication between the CASI members and the Board to enable them to ask questions, express ideas and voice concerns. None of this means anything unless the Board fulfills its responsibility to respond back to the members and work as a team together to meet its goals and challenges. I have the enthusiasm and energy needed in helping CASI and TICC grow. I am not afraid of the hard work performed by the Board. CASI is a business and we must ensure that we are prepared to address the issues of running the business side of CASI. I feel that my background and experience has prepared me to take a leadership role to meet the challenges that come with being a Director of CASI. I ask for your support and vote at the upcoming 2005 Great Pepper’s Meeting in San Angelo, TX. I look forward to serving the members of CASI and work to strengthen and grow CASI as an organization. I currently serve as your Secretary to the Board and have distributed all meeting minutes well within the thirty-day mandated deadline. I also serve as Articles Editor for the Terlingua Trails. I am responsible for the Memorial Board at TICC. I am also responsible for the CASI store; Dorathy Williams and I have worked hard to bring you new and varied items at TICC. While there have been instances when we may not have totally agreed on matters, I think you’ve found that I have been more than willing to listen to your concerns and suggestions. I have always taken those issues to the Board in order that your opinions and concerns could be heard. I feel the chili cooks’ opinions are very important to the organization! I would consider it a great honor to continue serving as YOUR representative on the CASI Board and hope you will consider me at the Great Peppers’ Meeting in San Angelo. Renee Moore Luney Announces Candidacy Greetings to All CASI Members: I would like to announce my candidacy for Director of CASI. When I first traveled to Terlingua, I was amazed to see such an encampment in the middle of the desert. I know it takes a great deal of work by the Directors, and CASI members to put on a successful cookoff, such as TICC. These are the people that I wish to serve by being a Director. I have been a member of CASI for six years and have served as Great Pepper and Pepper Popper. I now wish to serve as Director. I will try to always have a willing ear and an open mind. Thanks for your consideration I care what happens to CASI !

To help you advertise your pod cookoff we allow each pod to place one quarter page ad in the Terlingua Trails, each year, free of charge. This ad should run the month before your cookoff occurs. Should you decide that you need an ad larger than a quarter page we will simply bill you for the difference in price. This ad should not be confused with the article advertising your cookoff in the "Cooking with CASI Calendar" section in the Terlingua Trails. That article will start to run as soon as you request your cookoff packet and will run until your cookoff occurs.
