If you have a cookoff coming up in the month of MAY your cookoff information must be in the hands of the CASI Events Coordinator, Nancy Hewlett, by MARCH 15th to meet the cookoff advertising requirement.

CHOPPS Pod Puts the "International" in CASIPUERTO PENASCO, MEXICO – The

25th annual South of the Border, Fun in the Sun chili cookoff proved to be just what it adver-tised – Fun in the Sun! It was perfect weather for cooking chili at Rocky Point, as the cooks began with a Bloody Mary competition during registration and set-up. Jose Flores, owner of the Boo Bar and sponsor of the cookoff, pro-vided each cook with a cookoff t-shirt. And of course there might have been a little tequila tasting throughout the day.

Approximately 200 tasters came to the beach, including the Director of the Esquela Regular #12, Diana Vega Flores, and three members of her staff who helped out with the raffle and passed out the ironwood chili pepper trophies. Esquela Regular #12 is a school for Special Needs children, and every dollar we donate to them is greatly appreciated and used wisely.

The winners of the cookoff, which is an automatic qualifier, are: CHILI – Genee Jol-liffe 1st, Denise Cabello 2nd, Demis Cabello 3rd, Sunny Fichtl 4th, Gail Edwards 5th, Kyle Bonita 6th, Pam Diffin 7th, Ted Fichtl 8th, Eddie Love 9th, and Tom Klug 10th. SHOW – Kokopilich-ili Too/Name That Cheese, Sunny Fichtl, 1st; Cottonwood Chili Chicks, Pam Diffin, 2nd; and Pablo and Toots, Paul “Pablo” Hetrick, 3rd.

Anticipation...Happy March, chiliheads! Where has the time gone? The CASI membership is

now headed toward our busy time of year. The weather is cooperating a little more and the number of cookoffs are too numerous to mention.

The Rule Change proposal forms have been sent to the GPs and, during the next few months, there should be discussions in all the Pods as to which, if any, rules need to be looked at, refreshed or rewritten. I would like to caution everyone to please take the time to thoroughly review the rules you are considering changing. Proposing a change just for the sake of change doesn’t serve anyone in the long run. When we

get into semantics, nine times out of ten, a word change here or there doesn’t really affect the intent of the rule. I am asking that when you propose a change, make sure that it is a clarification or an expansion of an existing rule, or it is something that pertains to an issue that has arisen that wasn’t clearly addressed when you consulted the Rule book. May 15 is the deadline for the Great Peppers to submit proposed changes.

Also as we look forward, the 2107 Great Pepper’s Meeting will be held in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia, this year. This is the first time in many years that the meeting will not be held in Texas. The dates are September 8-9. This is going to be a very important year for us, and we need as many of the Great Peppers in attendance as possible. Please make every effort to attend. Not only will we be electing new board members, but we also have the above-mentioned Rule Changes.

We need the GPs there so they can attend the Friday rule change meeting. At this meeting, all the voting delegates will review every change that has been proposed so they can understand your intent and make an informed decision when it comes up for a vote. If your Pod submits a change, it is even more important that you are there to explain and answer questions about your proposed rule change. The Friday meeting is extremely important to the process, and discussions with other GPs will help you to decide whether to move the proposal for a vote in the meeting Saturday or to withdraw your proposed change.

We will advise you as we receive more details on accommodations, so you can stay as up-to-date as possible.

While we are on the subject of important business, I would like to take this time to speak about our Pod officers and the important roles they fill in our organization. When you make the decision to lead one of the CASI pods, you also accept the responsibility of becoming a CASI Official. As an official, you are our local representative for the city, state, or region. You are the face of CASI. Pod structure closely aligns with the Board structure. On the Board, the President, ED, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer form CASI’s Executive Committee; the Great Pepper, Pepper Popper, Chili Scribe and Chili Penny form the Executive Committee of the Pod. These four officers are recognized by CASI as your Executive Committee. On the Pod level, the Regional and Area referees are also recognized as CASI officials.

It is the responsibility of each of these officials to carry out CASI business on the local level. Without your dedication, support and passion, we can’t exist. I understand that this is our hobby. I understand that this is for fun. I understand that we gather for fellowship and to help charitable causes.

But you must also understand that we are a national charitable organization, subject to all the rules and regulations of the federal authorities. On this side of the coin, CASI is a business staffed completely by vol-unteers. From the Board of Directors to the Pod Great Peppers and officers, we are all non-paid volunteers who believe we have something to contribute outside of cookoffs.

You serve on our committees, you chair our special events, volunteer your time and specific talents and share your thoughts and opinions. For this, we are truly grateful.

Members of the Houston, Pasadena, Piney Woods and Space City Pods gathered on Saturday, January 28 to provide meals to first responders work-ing the Super Bowl festivities in Houston. Spearheaded by Piney Woods GP Nancy Netardus, 15 members prepared and served over 1,000 Frito® pies that day.

It began the night before at the Stafford Elks Lodge #151, where they began all the prep work for the next day. They prepared eight gallons of broth, 1,100 two-ounce servings of grated cheese and 1,100 two-ounce servings of onions. On hand were 1,200 bags of Fritos® generously donated by Lays, 1,100 freshly baked chocolate chip cookies donated by Fuddruckers, 60 gal-lons of chili and financial contributions from the local Pods and members.

Saturday morning dawned bright and early with the group leaving in three trucks and a 15-passenger van at 5:30 am to make the trip to downtown Houston. After setting up for work, the volunteers began to bring the chili to temperature and assemble to-go containers for two meal times – 11 am and 6 pm. It was an amazing day, with an amazing number of first responders. If they had a badge and carried a weapon, we fed them.

During the morning meal, one of the HPD captains picked up 70 meals for her officers. While the team was setting up more containers, she came back with a man who talked to us and watched for about 45 minutes. Turns out this gentleman was the Director of Strategic Planning for the city of Houston. Part of his job is organizing volunteers to help feed the first re-sponders for large events in the city and when there are natural disasters. He asked if we would be interested in helping in the future. Proudly, CASI is now part of the volunteer groups for the city of Houston.

It was a long day but it was also very rewarding. The group headed back to the Stafford Elks Lodge to get off their feet and enjoy some well-deserved adult beverages. All told, the group prepared and served 1,000 meals.

Special thanks go out to the following members who contributed to the success of the day: Nancy & Larry Netardus, Susan & Ken Armand, Pat Krenek, Maxine Reed, Mayo & Ed Blair, Sherrie Davis, Earl “Who” Gorhum, Colin Dann, Leslie Pate, Deanna Johnson, Nancy & Melissa Draper, Mike Callahan, Chuck & Dorothy Spishock, Michael Mayorga and Keith Karaff.

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler from Louisiana to my fellow chiliheads. It is Mardi Gras time in Louisiana, and even though we have closed ap-plications for this year’s scholarship applicants, we are already on a Mardi Parade-like roll for next year. If you have not seen us along the chili trail, we are having drawings for Janet Nash’s famous

Swamp Pickles at cookoffs we attend. Make sure you see us for your chance. All the money raised from the pickles goes directly back into the CASI Scholarship fund in memory of chili cooks and family members. I want to thank Dusty Hudspeth and Patti Myers-Jones for allowing us to support this great cause at their recent cookoffs. Please be sure to read the note from Bobbie Jones, Superintendent of the Terlingua Consolidated School District. I think it truly says why we do this.

Good Morning,

Thank you so much for the generous donation to our scholarship fund at the Regional Cookoff at the High Sierra. We have 14 seniors this year, and your generosity will help ensure that each student with a plan has the opportunity to continue their education. We have more students able to pursue a post-secondary education.

One of our former students graduated from the University of Texas at the Permian Basin in December. Two more are scheduled to graduate in May, and two more are in the second and third years of their gradu-ation plan. We have two students attending Sul Ross State University, one at Sam Houston State, one at Midland College, one at culinary school in New York City, and one at cosmetology school in Houston.

Your organization is definitely making a positive difference in the lives of our students.

Sincerely,

Bobbie JonesSuperintendent Terlingua CSD

Christopher Watkins is “King of (Adroit) Beers” Again

What goes great with beer? Just about anything of course, but how about 20 CASI cooks, plus their friends, supporters and patrons at the Third Annual Adroit Theory Brewing Company Midwinter Chili Classic? Cooks from North Carolina, Virginia, Mary-land and even a few Yankees from Pennsylvania came together to enjoy a great day of chili, charity and, well, beer!

Reigning champ Christopher Watkins of Yorktown VA returned to defend his title, but the field was not going to let the top spot go home with him so easily. As the results were announced, cook after cook was called, and many of the Mid-Atlantic’s heavy hitters came forward to claim their places. Yet when the final ticket was read, Watkins again reigned supreme, retained his title as the “King of Adroit,” and accepted tributes from fellow cooks as he sat atop a huge barrel of Adroit ale.

People’s Choice and beans winners also claimed ribbons and half growlers of Adroit Theory’s finest ales for their efforts. Congrats to first time cook Maria Dampman of Purcellville VA for her 3rd place People’s Choice with Mammoth Jack’s Kick-Ass Chili. In what has become an epic battle of the Mid-Atlantic PC heavyweights, Brian Michelle and Karen Ott of Chili Chili Bang Bang took the 2nd place PC spot. And in a convincing win, Mark McDowell of MacDaddy Conti-nental Chili took 1st place.

Thanks largely to these cooks, $724 was raised for our charity, the Lustgarten Foundation for pancreatic cancer research.

In the first Mid-Atlantic beans competition of 2017, Kit Rudd of Warrenton VA took a few of the lessons he learned back home in Texas and parlayed them into a 1st place finish. Big congrats to 2nd place finisher Christii Watkins of Gaithersburg MD and 3rd place Rob Spitler of Berryville VA.

Next up for Chili MAC is the Third Annual Mid-Atlantic Chiliheads Pod CCO at the Tin Cannon Brew-ing Company in Gainesville VA. And of course we are looking forward to seeing everyone in September at the 2017 GPM!

After Watkins, the remaining chili winners are: Dick DeiTos, Fairfax VA, 2nd; John Daly, Palmyra VA, 3rd; Sharon Rudd, Warrenton VA, 4th; Cheryl Koltz, Palmyra VA, 5th; Kid Rudd, Warrenton VA, 6th; Brian Ott, Trinity NC, 7th; Patti DeiTos, Fairfax NC, 8th; Mark McDowell, Accokeek MD, 9th; and Christii Watkins, Gaithersburg MD, 10th.

Tri-State Open and TiT Cookoffs Raise$20,000+ for Make-a-Wish North Texas

AMARILLO, TX – On Saturday, Janu-ary 14, the Tri-State Open Chili Championship raised over $20,000 to benefit Make-a-Wish North Texas.

This is the largest chili cookoff in the Texas Panhandle with 105 cooks from Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The community of Ama-rillo and the surrounding areas really got in-volved in the cookoff. The weather was a great day for chili – cold and misty – which brought out around 2,000 spectators for the event.

She Ebeling of Dimming TX won 1st, first-time cook Ashlyn Fisher of Bushland TX (granddaughter of Vickie Childers) placed 2nd, and Shannon Carrick of Amarillo TX took 3rd; all three are qualified for TICC 2017.

Rounding out the top ten on Saturday were Steve Lopez, Pampa TX, 4th; Tom Noe, Wichita Falls TX, 5th; Blake Carrick, Amarillo TX, 6th;

Russell Williams, Amarillo TX, 7th; Danisse Garcia, Amarillo TX, 8th; Clint Wooster, Wich-ita Falls TX, 9th; and Tiffany Messer, Amarillo TX, 10th.

Making the final table were JR Messer, Am-arillo TX, 11th; Denny Antel, Amarillo TX, 12th; Ronnie Walker, Amarillo TX, 13th; Brandon Gonzales, Amarillo TX, 14th; Jennifer Staggs, Amarillo TX, 15th; Tammy Wooster, Wichita Falls TX, 16th; Cindy Noe, Wichita Falls TX, 17th; Brittanie Brown, Amarillo TX, 18th; Mike Gatlin, Amarillo TX, 19th; and Michael Arel-lano, Amarillo TX, 20th.

Showmanship winners were the Pink La-dies, captain Kayla Weaver, Dimmitt TX, 1st (AQ); Family Recipe, captain Kenneth Cotter, Lewisville TX, 2nd; and 806 Sports, captain Johnny Wiseman, Amarillo TX, 3rd.

The Tall in Texas Pod held its Pod cookoff

on the previous day, Friday, January 13, with 47 cooks competing for a first-place qualify-ing spot. That honor went to Clint Wooster of Wichita Falls TX. Other winners were Tammy Wooster, Wichita Falls TX, 2nd; Cindy Noe, Wichita Falls TX, 3rd; Denny Antel, Amarillo TX, 4th; Tiffany Messer, Amarillo TX, 5th; Mat-thew Cox, Amarillo TX, 6th; Kent Fletcher, Amarillo TX, 7th; Shannon Carrick, Amarillo TX, 8th; Taylor Smith, another first-time cook of Amarillo TX, 9th; and Susan Campbell, Ama-rillo TX, 10th.

Taylor Smith, show team captain of Roof Smith, from Amarillo TX, won Showmanship on Friday.

Vickie Childers

Tri-State Open top 3, L-R: Sha Ebeling, 1st, first-time cook Ashlyn Fisher, 2nd, and Shannon Carrick, 3rd. These

ladies are all qualified for TICC 2017.

Clint Wooster of Wichita Falls, TXplaced first in the Tall in Texas Pod cookoff

and is now qualified for TICC 2017.


New Mexico Men and Ladies Vie for State Honors

The New Mexico Men’s & Women’s State Championships were held on Saturday, February 4 in Hobbs, NM. After a little research by Dave Hewlett, we learned that there has not been a Men’s Championship since 1993, and there is no record of a Women’s Championship. We had 36 women and 31 men who attended.

The top winner for the men was Matt Jones from Lubbock, Texas. Taking first place for the Women was Carol Knight, Elgin, Texas. The New Mexico Men’s Champ was Marshall Filler (first time cook) from Hobbs, NM and for the Ladies Brandy Reid also from Hobbs. We were very honored and excited that Lisa Stone, the current TICC Champion, was in attendance and brought her crew with her. We cannot thank our Pod members, sponsors, judges, chili family and the Moose Lodge enough. We had a great turn out and everything ran smoothly. Thanks again and see you down the chili trail!

Candid Shots from the Day...


“Cookin’ for CASI” (CFC) was conceived more than three years ago as a way for cookoffs to raise funds to help cover CASI operating expenses and help reduce the likelihood of ever-increasing dues and assessments. Originally, we pictured one day out of the year when all CASI Pods could hold simultaneous CFC cookoffs to benefit our 501(c)3 organization; it was envisioned as a CASI-wide special event, not rooted in state sponsorship, jurisdiction or governance, so that CFC cookoffs did not count against state point totals.

However, two problems immediately became apparent. First, the sheer magnitude of identifying one day for multiple events around the country quickly proved to be impractical. And the rules do not provide an exemption allowing CFC events to be excluded from states’ total cookoff amounts, as determined by the Rules Committee when requested.

Their ruling was appropriate, in keeping with Rule VI. CASI OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS, but it was clear to a majority of the Board of Direc-tors that keeping it “as is” would penalize states holding CFC events and actually discourage them from doing so.

However, the Great Peppers have approved an exemption, and no CFC event will apply to state totals, and all proceeds from CFC events will help cover CASI operating costs.

Cookoffs during the program’s first two years raised over $11,000, and our goal for 2016-17 is to raise $7,000 more. I hope that more Pods will take advantage of the rule change and promote “Cookin’ for CASI” soon.

Keith LongabaughDirector/Vice President

GPs Approve Rule Change to Aid CFC

The New Mexico State Cookoffs in-volved three days of chili cooking, which required many judges.

As an incentive to increase judges' participation, the cookoff organizers packed a cooler full of goodies. Every time someone judged a round of chili, they got another chance to win the cooler and all its contents.

KUDOS to Jennifer Sherfield and her SENMSC crew for this fabulous idea!

If your Pod has come up with something new and fresh, or if y'allhave a tradition you'd like to crow about, please tell us about it.

Send the information and a photo to [email protected].

What a great idea!

I want to let everyone know that they are do-ing a great job when creating events in CMS. I would like to remind everyone that I need an email, county, and ZIP code for each cookoff. It would also be great if everyone would check their profiles to make sure their information is correct, especially phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses. If you have a cookoff coming up in the month of MAY, your cookoff information must be to me no later than MARCH 15th to meet the coo-koff advertising requirement. You may enter your

information at www.casichili.net or you can complete the Upcoming Cookoff Information form found in the back of the Trails and send it by mail to me at CASI Events, 802 Horizon Dr, Murphy TX 75094, by fax to 972.578.9232, or by email to [email protected]. If you have any questions you can reach me at 214.802.8194.

Free Quarter Page Ad to CASI Pods, State, Regional and International Opens

As a CASI Pod you are required to put on a pod cookoff once a year. 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" 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.
