Standing, past IL Champs (l to r): Candy Thomas, 2004; Bret Centers, 2002; Bill Thomas, 2010; Wes Carlson, 1996 & 2011; Mike Usiak, 2009; Jeff Netser, First Place 2001; Kathy Martin 2001; Jim Filgut, 1998; Gloria Stevens, 1995 & 1999; Mike Stevens, 1994, 1997, 2000, BATAVIA, IL - The TWENTIETH ILLINOIS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP was held July 28, 2012, as usual, at Batavia s Riverwalk Park. Like much of the country, it has been very dry in the Chicago area. Two weeks before the cookoff the grounds resembled the Old 320 at the Ranch. However, a little rain the week before let the grass green up, and look close to normal. Our usual contingent of out of state cooks was a little small this year, but we did draw a representative from Arizona, Oklahoma, Iowa, and two from Indiana. We also welcomed back a couple cooks who have been inactive the last few years. Twenty years is a long time to do anything, so we felt a party was in order, and we had it. We truly appreciate all the cooks who made the effort to help us celebrate 20 years of CASI chili in Illinois. John Gastaldello continued his hot streak and is the 2012 Illinois State Champion. John also won the 20th Chillini Pod Cookoff in May, so he has a new nickname, John 2:20. Kathy Martin was second and Georgia Weller third, and Mike and Morty Stevens of Dumb Continued on page 18 Photo by David Mitchell Zachariah and Grace Mitchel help their dad, David Mitchell, support his championship trophy. BURK'S FALLS, ON - August 11, 2012, was the 1ST ANNUAL BURK'S FALLS LIONS CLUB STATE OPEN AND COUNTRY JAMBOREE. Despite hard rains and occasional high winds our intrepid chili cooks delivered pot after pot of the best Texas chili this side of the Magnetawan. The competition was fierce and the judging was tight. After all was said and done David (Dark Horse) Mitchell reigned supreme. After the cooking came the sampling and the music. A small but enthusiastic cook off and a great bunch of cooks who will all return next year with secret recipies and weapons to foil Dark Horse Mitchell. Reporting from Burk s Falls Peter Hall CASI Hot Line 888-CASIHOT If you have a cookoff coming up in the month of November your cookoff information must be in the hands of the CASI Upcomings Director, Lee Kroencke, by September 15th to meet the cookoff advertising requirement - see page 21.

It s now that time of the year when the heat is on to get one s final points to become qualified to cook at the 2012 Terlingua International Chili Championship. In a trek to Buda, Texas to cook at the US National Open Chili Championship, Larry and Janie Burruss welcomed us with lower temperatures this year. It was in the low 100 s. Whew! Better is relative. Still, there was the usual camaraderie amongst the cooks and a familiar name called, our past TICC Champion: Tom Dozier. Congratulations! As we go to press, the Tropics are firing up and the fun will be flowing in the Virgin Islands. Good luck to all that make the trip. This is one of the International Championships that put the I in CASI as Erik Ackerson loves to remind us. Good luck to all and have a blast. Now to the business of CASI, it s here: the 2012 Great Peppers Meeting. I hope you are already registered, your Pod Credentials approved and your GPS tuned to the DoubleTree in Irving. The Meeting is the focal point of our event, but there will be a Board meeting to start Friday s schedule, followed by an assortment of breakout sessions including the Candidates Forum. Arriving Thursday afternoon or evening to get settled is a good idea. Join folks in the Hospitality Rooms for some food and beverages. Mixed in with the fun is the important opportunity to meet new friends and share ideas. On a note about the day to day operations of CASI, please remember that your Directors are volunteers just as with every Pod Officer and CASI Official. Most of us have day jobs and when we receive an inquiry on a matter, will do our best to timely respond. Sometimes it will be quick, but other times it may take some time. If you observe a problem, let us know; then allow us some time to resolve it and get you an answer. We are a family and let s all keep the objectives clear: Chili, Charity and Fun. To get a certificate (proof of insurance) for your cookoff, please contact Janice Miller Phone: ; Cell: garjans@suddenlink.net ED'S REFLECTIONS Information from CASI s Executive Director, Janice Miller CASI members, please check your personal information in the CASI Information System. Corrections and additions should be sent to Janice Miller at garjans@suddenlink.net UPCOMING COOKOFFS Lee Kroencke - CASI Upcomings P.O. Box Lenexa, KS lee.kroencke@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 Ed Blair Reflections from the ED This is the last article I will be writing for the Terlingua Trails as your Executive Director. I want to thank each of you for your support and encouragement. I could not name everybody who has assisted me during the last 4 years. I will miss all of you. But, I will still be out there supporting and promoting CASI. I believe in our mission! As I record the Annual Credential Report, I realize how many charities and how much money we have supported! We have made a difference for organizations and people in so many ways. I am excited that Richard Knight will be taking over as your new Executive Director. He has been a part of CASI from its conception and is one of the Founding Fathers. Please give him support and encouragement. As each of you know, that this CASI Chili year is quickly coming to a close. I hope each of you have qualified for TICC. If you have not, there are several CCOs this month at which you still have a chance to get those last points. Here s hoping that you each do that. It is exciting that we have 2 new pods. We have the Proud of Texas Pod (POT) which is located in Central Texas and the Sho-Me Pod located in the Kansas City, MO area. They have presented the necessary documents required to request to be a seeded CASI POD. It is also exciting that we have 2 new International CCOs. On August 11, 2012 there was a CCO in Burk Falls Alberta, Canada and on September 15 there will be a CASI CCO in Shanghai, China. Thanks to Bill Pierson for training referees for both of these CCOs. Sadly we have several pods that are no longer active and will be either put on probation for the CASI Chili year or are suspended for no report for the last 2 years. I hope that some of them will be able to regenerate interest in CASI and can again become an active pod. I want to remind the Regional Referees that they need to send to the Executive Director (ED) or the TallyMaster (TM) the referee assigned to each CCO so that it can be reported in CIS. This provides these 2 directors a contact person if a problem has been identified for a specific cookoff. If you are still in need of a log on for CIS, please send that request to me. After September, this request will go to the new Executive Director. Remember that you must use Internet Explorer to access CIS. As I close my final article for the Terlingua Trails, I want to again thank all of you for your support during the last 4 years. I want to give a special thanks to my husband, Cliff Miller, who as often served as my secretary (he has resigned several times, but I have rehired him). He has been a great support to me and has been there to give me encouragement. Remember our motto: Chili, Charity and Fun! See you down the Chili Trail! Janice

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM It has been a wonderful four years. When I took on this endeavor, there were no guidelines or instructions on how the CASI Scholarship Program should be run. With the help of several individuals including the Great Peppers and the Board of Directors, the program now has a structure to help guide us. I want to thank the Great Peppers and the Board of Directors for giving me the opportunity to work with this program. I also want to thank all those who have served and continue to serve on the Scholarship Committee. I also want to thank all of you who let me run my ideas by you before we ever put anything into print. Last but not least, I want to thank all of you who have contributed to the Scholarship Fund. Without you we would not have been able to grant fortyfour (44) scholarships during the last four years. As my term is coming to a close, I will be more than happy to let someone else grow this program to greater heights.

I served as PTA President for two years and Treasurer of the PTA for two years. I also served as Band Booster President for 5 years and Band Booster Treasurer for one year. Those positions called upon me to direct many different committees and complete many tasks within limited time frames. I have served on the Scholarship Committee for the last three years submitting 20 applications in 2010, 40 in 2011 and 54 in I have been Treasurer of the DAM Pod for the last seven years and have been Regional Referee for the last two years.

17 September 2012 Terlingua Trails Page 17 Thank You CASI! Duke Running for the Board Dear CASI Scholarship Committee, Thank you so much for choosing me to receive the CASI scholarship. I am very excited to start a new chapter in my life! This scholarship will most definitely help me out. I am going to attend Victoria College to become a Medical Laboratory Technician. To My Chili Cook-off Family, You have always been the greatest people I have known. Thank you for being there! Sincerely, Felicia Borgfeld Chili Appreciation Society International, To: All CASI Great Peppers and Board of Directors After very serious consideration I would like to announce my candidacy for a position to the CASI Board of Directors. My involvement with CASI and TICC started in I have been the Great Pepper of Central Texas Pod for 8 years and have participated in every Great Peppers meeting during those years. The Central Texas Pod has grown from 1 cook-off a year to 8-10 a year and has grown in membership as well. I am a good listener and welcome your concerns and requests. I will present your requests with an open mind to the Board for their consideration. If elected I will take my position very seriously because CASI has a very special place in my life and it makes me proud to serve this organization. I promise to serve the CASI members and TICC to the best of my ability. Thank you for your consideration and support. Randy Duke Great Pepper Central Texas Pod I don t even know how to begin to thank you for the very generous scholarship. The day that I received the letter saying I had won your scholarship had been a rough day. It was coming near the end of the school year, and I was very confused and stressed about which university was right for me and what my future would hold. School had been busy and I had just lost an important softball game. When I read the letter, I was speechless. My dad had to take if from my hands to know what it said. I suddenly was calm and knew everything would be okay now. Because of your scholarship I can attend my first choice of university. I feel very humbled that out of all the applications, a small-town Arizona girl was chosen. Thank you so much! I know it is after all of your hard work that I received it. I will use it wisely. Thank you for opening a window of opportunity for me. Thank you, Natalie Jones. CASI Foundation, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for selecting me as a recipient of your scholarship. I can t even begin to express how much I appreciate your help in allowing me to pursue a higher education and to continue to strive for academic success! Sincerely, Megan Skiles
