1 February 2013 Web Page Volume 26 Issue 2 CLIFF MILLER WINS TRI-STATE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP AMARILLO, TX The weekend of January 12 th was a great one. We had two cookoffs the, TALL IN TEXAS POD COOKOFF benefiting the Mavericks Girls and Boys Club on Friday night and the TRI-STATE OPEN CHILI CHAMPIONSHIP on Saturday benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. They were both a success with 68 cooks for the Pod cookoff and 131 for the Open. We had cooks from Oklahoma, New Mexico, and from several places in Texas. We had a band for our Cook s Party and Pod Cookoff Friday night and they were back again on Saturday; we also had a great silent auction. What a family! Cole stole everyone s heart. The cookoff committee would like to thank all of the people that helped with both cookoffs. We could not name them all in fear of leaving someone out so you know who you are and we could not do it without you. A Big Thank You to All. Also, thank you to the cooks for coming out to cook with us. So mark your calendar for next year s cookoff and come join the fun. The top three winners of the Tri-State Open were automatic qualifiers to TICC.

That makes it a great time to cook a bowl of red. When you are in the store shopping for your cookoff items, think about the Casa Fiesta fund raising program.

Also, when you and your Pod are choosing a charity for your next cookoff, think about the CASI Scholarship Program.

Box 173, Valley Mills, TX Home (254) , Cell (254) randyduke37@yahoo.com Printer: Kerrville Daily Times - Kerrville, Texas From the President Chili, Charity, Fun and Chattering Teeth. It is winter and acting like it in many parts of the country. That makes it a great time to cook a bowl of red. When you are in the store shopping for your cookoff items, think about the Casa Fiesta fund raising program. Buy a few cans of beans and other items in the Casa Fiesta line. We can eat our way to providing scholarships to even more high school graduates deserving of a chance to get ahead in life. Also, when you and your Pod are choosing a charity for your next cookoff, think about the CASI Scholarship Program. We have 70 Pods in CASI and if each one raised just $500 each year at a cookoff, we could add $35,000 more into the Program. The Houston Area Pods have hosted cookoffs and contributed $5,000 in recent years. During the last 4 years, the Program has received $6,000 as the beneficiary of the Canyon Lake BBQ & Chili Cookoff. Let s challenge ourselves to support on own charitable cause during our fund raising choices. Between Bruce Foods and your support, this would be a great year to raise enough money to not only increase the number of scholarships but to consider increasing the amount to each student. The amount has stayed the same since inception of the program and yet the cost of college has about doubled. You are CASI! YOU can make things happen. Let s put our focus in 2013 on making CASI a bigger and more importantly better organization. Ed Blair CASI INSURANCE To get a certificate (proof of insurance) for your cookoff, please contact Richard Knight Phone: ; Cell: casichilied@gmail.com ED'S REFLECTIONS Information from CASI s Executive Director, Richard Knight CASI members, please check your personal information in the CASI Information System. Corrections and additions should be sent to Richard Knight at casichilied@gmail.com UPCOMING COOKOFFS Lee Kroencke - CASI Upcomings P.O. Box Lenexa, KS casicookoffs@gmail.com COOKOFF RESULTS Please send all CCO results along with entry sheets and money to: Jenny Windsor TallyMaster 390 South Drive Severna Park, MD Reflections from the ED This month, I would like to focus on the role our Regional Referees play in the CASI organization. The CASI rules state that all cookoffs seeking CASI sanctioning must have on site a CASI Regional Referee, CASI Area Referee, CASI Great Pepper, CASI official, or an authorized CASI Representative. A Regional Referee is responsible for all cookoffs in their assigned region; this is why it is the responsibility of the cookoff chairman to contact the CASI Regional Referee responsible for the location in which the cookoff is held. A list of Regional Referees can be found on the CASI website. The Regional Referee will assign themself, an area referee, or work with the CASI Executive Director to find a CASI representative to serve as the referee for a cookoff. If the cookoff is in a region where there is not a CASI Regional Referee assigned, then the CASI Executive Director can appoint a CASI representative for the cookoff. The cookoff referee plays a critical part in the cookoff being sanctioned and the cooks getting their points. Referees are a consultant to the cookoff chairman and head judge and are there to observe the different functions (cooks meeting, registration, chili turn in, chili judging, tallying, marking cups, announcements, etc.) and maintain the integrity of the CASI rules at the cookoff. Some cookoff chairmen think it is the responsibility of the CASI Referee to run the cookoff, but if this was the case it would be hard for a Referee to observe and be impartial in any necessary rulings. It is the referee s duty to observe and report in writing to CASI any and all infractions in following all CASI rules. After the cookoff, the Referee becomes the cookoff official that is the liaison with the CASI Tally Master to insure that the cooks get their deserved points for their cooking efforts. The referee must sign the official CASI Results sheet after winners are determined. They must in a timely fashion mail or fulfill the entry on the CASI website of the results sheet, cook and showmanship entry list, and appropriate sanctioning fees. So the next time you see a referee at a cookoff, shake their hand and thank them for their volunteer service to the CASI cooks and the CASI organization. I invite all CASI members to attend the Winter Meeting of the CASI Board of Directors which will consist of a board workshop on Saturday, Feb 16, and a board meeting on Sunday, Feb 17. The meeting will be held at the Irving Elks Lodge, Irving, Texas. In closing, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day and to leave a tip for anyone in New Orleans during the Mardi Gras: If you re standing watching a parade next to a bunch of old grandmothers dressed in high heels and playboy outfits, do not think your chances of picking up beads thrown from a Mardi Gras float are any better. They may be old, but they have fast feet and the spikes on those heels.ouch!!!!! Richard Knight CASI Executive Director

Page 14 Terlingua Trails February 2013 SPONSORSHIP REPORT In the months that immediately follow TICC each year there is a time for visiting CASI sponsors and surveying them on information to help us

Many have products that fit nicely into everyday CASI routine and others are just there for us financially. Many have support services instead of a product that they put at our disposal.

No member should ever think that the smallest act for CASI is not appreciated. We cannot impact our sponsors if we all do not push for their brands and services.

14 Page 14 Terlingua Trails February 2013 SPONSORSHIP REPORT In the months that immediately follow TICC each year there is a time for visiting CASI sponsors and surveying them on information to help us better perform. As chairman of the sponsorship group, CASI sponsors are my clients. It is my job to represent their interests and promote our support. We have a highly diverse group of sponsors. Many have products that fit nicely into everyday CASI routine and others are just there for us financially. Many have support services instead of a product that they put at our disposal. CASI members are also sponsors. Obviously, you are not compensated for your time. You only have the satisfaction of participating in our success. No member should ever think that the smallest act for CASI is not appreciated. We cannot impact our sponsors if we all do not push for their brands and services. Remember that when you see them and one of our events and give them a sincere thanks for believing in us. And please, accept a sincere thanks from me for what each of you does for CASI. The initial feedback I get from the 46th Terlingua International Chili Championship is that it was a tremendous success. We had the highest participation of sponsor representatives in our history. Banners, product samples, personal appearances and financial underwriting were evident at every activity on the grounds. Local officials, businesses, and citizens describe have told me that they were very pleased with the event. There are some areas of concern as befits any activity of this size. The primary purpose of the CASI Winter Workshop is to review the pros and cons, and set a course for the next year. Financials are presented and issues are discussed while they are still fresh on the mind. The workshop is casual. It is an open opportunity for the membership to give their input to the Board and CASI in an informal setting. Duties are allocated for the year and the quest for TICC 47 begins. The workshop is an opportunity for members and directors to bond together for the common good of the organization. There is never enough time during the year to adequately do this, so we need to make the most of our time. I urge you to consider this opportunity to participate at ground level. Consider yourself a leader and jump in. There is a great deal of satisfaction in moving us forward. Every member has the ability to put their mark in our history book. Thank you for your support!

February 2013 Terlingua Trails Page 19 Cooking With CASI Greetings! Once again I would like to personally thank all of you involved in organizing and conducting CASI sanctioned cookoffs.

19 February 2013 Terlingua Trails Page 19 Cooking With CASI Greetings! Once again I would like to personally thank all of you involved in organizing and conducting CASI sanctioned cookoffs. Your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated and because of you CASI continues to bring on new promoters, judges, cooks, and members. We continue getting positive feedback regarding the website and calendar. You can view scheduled cookoffs and even click on a map directing you to the location. If you have not yet been to the website, go online and check it out. If you have a Cookoff you would like to schedule for April 2013 your cookoff must be submitted for approval no later than February 15th. Thanks to all of you for planning early and getting your cookoffs submitted. Also, if you are ing information regarding an upcoming cookoff, the address is casicookoffs@gmail.com According to CASI Rules all CASI cookoffs must be advertised in the Terlingua Trails before the cookoff takes place in order to be sanctioned. You run a risk of not being sanctioned if you submit your cookoff for approval during the month before your cookoff if it is after the 15th of the month. And as we discussed in last month s Trails, more and more Pods are printing their own forms which is a convenience for you and saves CASI postage. A majority of the Great Peppers took cup tickets for the year with them at the Great Peppers Meeting. Once again, thanks to all of you who already have your cup tickets. For those folks who do not have tickets and are expecting a packet the packets are mailed out the first week of the previous month. This is due to an increasing number of lost packets and duplicate requests. So do not be alarmed if you have submitted a cookoff but have not received a packet. March Packets will be mailed the first week of February, and so on. If you have an exception and need your tickets earlier feel free to a special request and we will get your packet in the mail earlier. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve as one of your Directors and best wishes for a successful cookoff! Lee Kroencke Feb 2, Fort Smith AR 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.
