Ulupalakua, Maui, HI – The 1st Annual Hawaii State Chili Championship Cookoff was held on Sunday, September 1 at the Ulupalakua Ranch Store & Grill in upcountry Maui. The inaugural event drew 17 chili teams and hundreds of spectators who all enjoyed a day of chili, charity, and fun. The non-profit event raised over $1,600 for the Maui 4-H Livestock Association. The 2013 Hawaii State Champion was Don Miller of Makawao, HI who not only won the judges over with his 1st place “Hawaii Ranch Chili” but also took the People’s Choice award. A seasoned chili cook and longtime Maui resident who has competed in cookoffs for 23 years, Don attributed his winning chili to a Continued on page 22 TICC 2013 - Details CASI Hot Line 888-CASIHOT If you have a cookoff coming up in the month of December your cookoff information must be in the hands of the CASI Upcomings Director, Lee Kroencke, by October 15th to meet the cookoff advertising requirement.

The annual business session and family reunion was not without the highs, lows, and differing opinions. I would like to thank departing directors Ed Blair, David Sexton, and Glenda Vrba for their years of service to the organization. Join me in welcoming incoming directors Tim Collier, Patti Meyers, and Kris Hudspeth. Changing of the guard brings new ideas and fresh perspectives on reinventing the CASI wheel. I thank you for the opportunity to serve as an officer and hope that I can be open minded to all challenges. And speaking of challenge it is time to move on to our 47th Terlingua International Chili Championship. 47 times and we’re still trying to get it right! Everyone that qualifies is a champion in their own right. You qualify to get to Terlingua and that is not easy. We don’t take walk-ons so be proud of your invitation. There are many thoughts on the qualification process, but there is no doubt when the winner is crowned that they defeated worthy competition. TICC is a destination. It is a reunion, a party and a challenge in a remote and beautiful setting. It is a place for our sponsors to come and witness CASI at its best. There is nothing artificial about our championship; it is the real deal. So is the warmth and compassion of our members for the cult that we call chili. Sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes we have to be shaken to awake from a slumber. However, beware of waking a slumbering giant as it might take some large steps in the right direction. Salud amigos and safe travels on your chili trail and the road to Terlingua.

Great visiting with Peers! Valuable Sessions! Terrific Slide Show! Unbelievable Hospitality! Easiest registration ever! Splendid Hotel!! Cold Libations!! Wet Pool!! These were only a few phrases that I heard at the 34th Great Peppers Meeting. Thanks to the members of the Great Peppers Meeting Committee for making the meeting a success. Congratulations to the new Directors joining the Board; Tim Collier, Kris Hudspeth, Patti Meyers, and to Lee Kroencke on his re-election to the Board. I also thank Harvey West and Glenda Vrba for stepping forward with their candidacy. A special thanks to the delegates who attended to the business side of our fun. October brings the start of our new chili year and the count down to the 47th Annual Terlingua International Chili Championship. The beginning of October levels the playing field and everyone starts from the beginning gathering those points for the 2014 TICC event. TICC this year will bring some new events and fun for the participants and spectators. Wednesday night will begin with the Tequila Rose Party, the Tequila Rose Dessert Contest, and the Tequila In Terlingua Society. After these gender specific (except for the Dessert Contest) parties have concluded, then both parties will converge in the Ancira Concession area and the Main Stage area for entertainment by local Terlingua musicians. Thursday is the Fun Day at the Ranch! Decorate your golf cart, ATV, UTV, trucks, pets or spouses and join in the first ever Parade. The Parade will wind through the cooks area, the road to Krazy Flats, and end at the Krazy Flats Saloon for Happy Hour! Also at the Si Brown Pavilion will be old time Chili Games and a band. After the Krazy Flats affair, then join us at the Memorial Board by the Main Stage at 7:00 p.m. The Buster Bledsoe Band will kick off the Halloween Night festivities with music. Everyone is invited to join the Halloween Costume Party during the dance. Sounds like Chili, Charity, and Fun to me.

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES SCHOLARSHIP RAFFLE An exciting new opportunity for both our chili family and the scholarship fund has arisen with the donation of Southwest Airlines tickets. CASI will be selling raffle tickets, with all proceeds after printing expense and Pod incentive going to the Scholarship Program. First prize will be two (2) Southwest Airlines tickets to anywhere they fly; second and third prizes to be determined. Tickets will be $10.00 each or 3 for $20. Winners will be drawn on Saturday afternoon at TICC. Because of multiple Texas laws concerning a Texas corporation selling raffle tickets over state lines, tickets can only be sold in Texas. Great Peppers in states outside of Texas can take orders for tickets – then purchase those tickets at Terlingua. Detailed instructions will be sent to all Great Peppers. Contact your Great Pepper today! The Pod that sold the winning ticket will receive $200, so the more the Pod sells the better chance they have to win the money. Please support the Scholarship Program by purchasing your tickets today! Contact Nancy Hewlett, nancyhewlett@msn.com, or your Great Pepper.

See descriptions below. • $15.00 per entry. • Turn in will be at 1:00 pm for both. • Top 5 in each category announced. Traditional Salsa Salsa is the Spanish word for sauce, and in Mexico it refers to sauces that are used as an ingredient for a variety of dishes and as a condiment. It is normally a spicy blend of tomatoes, onions, and hot peppers finely pureed or cooked to a liquid like consistency. Secondary ingredients are traditionally garlic, salt and optionally, cilantro. Non-Traditional Salsa Pico de Gallo, Verde (green), Greek, Fruit based, etc. Anything goes here, be creative and have fun. Any fruit, vegetable, or spice is acceptable (pineapple, ginger, bell pepper, etc). Additionally, non-traditional ingredients such as Worcestershire sauce and tequila are perfectly acceptable as long as the endproduct tastes great. Salsa Judging Rules and Characteristics: • Color/appearance – is the product attractive and visually appealing? • Smell/Aroma – the product should have a pleasant aroma, without one ingredient overpowering the others. • Flavor – independent of spiciness, the product should be delicious. • Viscosity/Texture – do you like the texture in terms of smooth, crunchy, easy to dip, etc? • Heat/Spiciness – CASI is looking for a “classic” level of heat, not extreme or mind-numbing heat – mild, medium or hot are all fine, but try not to destroy the judges’ taste buds! Prizes ($1,600.00 total prize checks): • 1st in each category: $350 • 2nd in each category: $250 • 3rd in each category: $150 • 4th in each category: $50 • 5th in each category: gift box of salsa TICC - Thursday Events Prizes for all events will be product and gift sets from McCormick and Bruce Foods.

This event which featured three days of music, a couple of CASI chili events (CASI Red and State of New Mexico Green) and a BBQ event had all the elements to make it a memorable event! Wonderful weather, blue skies, special music, the smell of chili and BBQ emanating from Town Park, friendly people and lots of public/spectators help to make this an annual event that should not be missed! The picture of the event featured the winner, Tim Collier (watch out for the Cowboy hat!!) and the rest of the winners. How did that one Colorado cook sneak in there? Other winners that day included Mike Gatlin – 1st in Green and Bob Seymour – 1st in Showmanship. Congrats to all and thanks to everyone who made the weekend a special one! We hope to see all of you next August (August 2014) for the Four Corners Regional! John Montgomery OKLAHOMA STATE DURANT, OK – The OKLAHOMA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP COOKOFF was held August 31st at the Choctaw RV Park, part of the Choctaw Casino Resort. Don’t know how lucky she was at the casino but Rene Cortez of Grand Prairie, TX showed her luck at winning the cookoff, her third first place in a row. Way to go Rene! Photo by Susie Shaw LEBANON, TN - NO, not aliens… just a bunch of good, “out-of-state” chili cooks who took 9 of the Top 10 Chili awards, plus 1st Place Show, at the Tennessee State Championship held on August 24th. Congratulations to Jack Cobb (GA), Darin Jester (IN), and Donnell Dickerson (MS) for taking home the top 3 Chili titles, and to Bill Heslop (AL) for winning Show. James Brockman, 5th place chili, was 1st Tennessean with Katie Seadler and Susie Shaw picking up 11th and 12th chili for the 2nd and 3rd place Tennessee cooks. Thanks to all the chili teams, especially the out-of-staters, who made this a fun and successful event on a great day in Tennessee! Susie Shaw Hawaii State continued from page 1 combination of balance, timing and his secret ingredient, “Natural Punishment,” made with fresh habaneros and jalapenos. Other top chili cooks included 2nd place Roger Foltz, from Dallas, TX, 3rd place Christine Vestfals from Kihei, 4th place Larry Lutz from Kihei, and 5th place June Werner from Kula; 1st place Showmanship team was El Chivos Banditos headed by Jeremy Johnson. Island-grazed natural beef was provided to the chili teams by the Maui Cattle Company. A panel of 14 judges ranged from members of the public to local media and notable restaurateurs including Alan Wong, Bev Gannon and Karen Christenson. Prizes donated by event sponsors Shaka Pops, Ulupalakua Ranch, and Maui’s Winery included a handpainted cook stove by Maui artist Kyle Miyajima for the Hawaii State Champion. Ulupalakua Ranch Store manager, Diana Azevedo, was thrilled with the turnout. “This was our first year so we didn’t know what to expect, but the response was really amazing. All of the cooks had such a good time and the public support was really terrific. We couldn’t have pulled it off without the generous involvement of our judging panel and the hard work of the 4-H kids who sold tasting kits and Shaka Pops. Together we raised over $1,600 for the Maui 4-H Livestock Association. By the end of the day, we had chili enthusiasts and future competitors all wanting to know when next year’s event will be and if it will be larger because they want to participate! We will definitely be having a 2014 CASI Hawaii State Championship in Ulupalakua.” A complete list of the top ten chili winners and photos of the event can be found at www.facebook.com/casihawaiichili.

Thanks to everyone for submitting your cookoffs early. We have seen dramatic improvement in submitting information timely, and as usual CASI members are rising to the occasion. October 15th is the deadline for submitting December cookoffs, so continue to check your calendars closely and connect with your promoters and referees. An advantage for submitting cookoffs is to have an electronic trail of your submission. That is a very easy process when you submit your cookoff using www.casichili.net As the chili year winds to a close I encourage you to take a look at how you can grow CASI chili in your area. Maybe all it takes is a phone call of encouragement. Maybe reaching out and contacting someone you think would enjoy chili charity and fun. This year has been a year with plenty of change, and lots of new younger members are attracted to CASI. We are so blessed to have them, and we are excited to have the additional competition. Congratulations to everyone reading this and involved in CASI cookoffs. Your investment of time, enthusiasm, competitive spirit, and adventure is infectious, and I thank you for your involvement with CASI whether you are a cook, a promoter, a judge, a volunteer, or just enjoy the company of enthusiastic chili heads. All the best to you in finding what you are looking for in CASI chili, whether it’s points, camaraderie, contribution, entertainment, education, energy, or all of the above.

It is my goal to bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to help grow CASI and make her stronger. I would like to thank Ed, David, and Glenda for the time and effort they have given, and congratulate Tim, Lee, and Patti who were voted as director. If there is anything I can do to help you, your pod, or your cookoff please feel free to contact me at casipublicrelations@gmail.com. Kris Hudspeth I would like to thank all the Great Peppers and chili supporters for electing me to serve on the board. I look forward to working for and with the organization to make CASI even better and I look forward to helping with the growth of the organization. Patti Meyers I would like to thank all those who gave me a vote of confidence to allow me to serve on the CASI Board of Directors. A special thanks to each person that made the Great Pepper Meeting such an enjoyable and successful event. I look forward to being Director of Membership for the next three years. Glenda Vrba has done a great job. She has graciously agreed to continue to do Membership until October 31st so there will be a smooth transition at TICC. I want to thank Glenda for all she has done for CASI. Until October 31st, please send all renewals, new members, as well as Corporate and Lifetime payments to: CASI, P.O. Box 450907, Garland, TX 75045. Thank you for your continued support of CASI! Tim Collier CASI Members, I would like to thank the members of CASI and the Great Peppers for electing me to the CASI Board of Directors for three more years. I am honored to serve this organization that I love and look forward to our chili trail ahead. CASI is an organization like no other, rich in passion and charitable work, and embracing the fun of competition. As we look toward the future there is considerable change on the horizon. Being part of change and a new Board of Directors I would first like to thank three people who have made considerable contribution to CASI, and who are stepping off the CASI Board following TICC. To Ed Blair, David Sexton, and Glenda Vrba, thank you. Your hard work and long hours are greatly appreciated by myself and CASI. Technology is changing the way we do business. 2014 is a rules change year. Change is all around us. We all know change is not easy, it is uncomfortable and demands our attention. As Richard Knight noted at the Great Pepper’s Meeting, we need to hang on to the old, but not so tightly we are unable to embrace the new. Please feel free to contact me with any idea’s, suggestions, critics, or complaints you may have. More than anything I want to hear from you and applaud you for being involved in CASI. Best wishes to each of you on the chili trail, and once again, thank you for the trust and faith you have placed in me. CASI is looking at bright new future, and thank you for active involvement.

Cooks meeting 10:30am. CASI rules apply. Entry fee $20, turn in 2:30PM. Chili Grind Only. Health Dept will inspect -3 wash basins & hand washing water needed (can share). Billed as the longest International** Tug of War over water in the world , The Tug of War was originally conceived by the residents of Eastport sixteen years ago when the City of Annapolis used the excuse of a “public works project” to close the Spa Creek bridge that leads to Eastport from Annapolis. This unprovoked act of aggression on the part of the City of Annapolis had the effect of cutting off Eastport residents and businesses from the rest of the city. The somewhat fractious citizens of Eastport, feeling the sting of rejection by The City and, perhaps, somewhat emboldened by the generous pouring habits of a local bartender, decided to declare war against The City of Annapolis and secede. Thus, to the rallying cries of “ Up The Republic” , the micro-nation known as The Maritime Republic of Eastport was born.
