Prior to this, the area had over 10 inches, give or take, in August and September. We had another 4 tenths of rain this morning, which I hate to say we don’t need at this time, but Mother Nature does what she wants. The desert is covered in a green carpet of blooming flowers and many green plants. This is good. The bad news is the rain has also brought many tall weeds and grass to the Ranch. Diane and I, along with Tom & Dorathy Williams, have started cleaning up the cookoff site, filling in holes, and planting new plants, which add to the over 2,000 plants Tom & Dorathy already planted throughout the site. The removal of weeds, grass, left over junk, and any other items that don’t belong will be our chores for the next couple of weeks. The judging, concession, and pavilion areas will also be cleaned as Mother Nature usually covers these areas with mud when we have significant rains as in the past couple of months. Who said there is nothing to do out here; never a dull moment. I spoke with Jimmy Taylor regarding the site. Our good friend and contractor Dale Blackstock has offered to put a road grader and tractor on the site to rework, widen, level, and do general cleanup due to the rain; a couple of days of machine work and labor at no charge to CASI. Jim Ezell tells me he has been swamped with last minute vendor requests, which usually happens just prior to TICC. Jim continues to work with all of our sponsors. All of the Board is working hard to make this year’s TICC a great success. As far as the road construction on Highway 170, the contractor is working on a fourmile stretch from the Ghost Town to the entrance of the CASI Ranch. For those of you going up Peppers Hill, it won’t be quite as difficult a trip this year. They have lowered the hill by about 8 feet and widened much of the road. Tom and I paid a visit to the State Highway Department in Alpine and were told that the road construction will be put on hold from the Sunday before the cookoff to the Sunday after the cookoff, or October 31 to November 8. We hope the road will be in good shape for TICC week, but only time will tell. I know they will do what they can in the time they have. If anybody has questions or concerns, please contact me. As you know, the water company down here will again be selling water during the TICC week. Water will be TEN CENTS PER GALLON, not the 5 cents in the packet. That’s the same amount that was charged last year. The hours this year will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (November 2-4) from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Please remember the Christmas gifts for the Terlingua area children. They are so appreciative of everything they receive. Diane and I wish all of you who survived the recent storms and floods out east well. Our sincere condolences to those who have lost loved ones recently. We hope all have a safe trip to the desert; we look forward to seeing you. Mel & DI Terlingua Trails Editor & Publisher: Doug (Bucky) Seelig Contributing Editors: Upcoming Cookoffs: Dorathy Williams Cookoff Results: Bill Pierson Articles: Renee Moore Printer: Kerrville Daily Times - Kerrville, Texas November 2004 ED Ponderings Greetings from the chili trail. Susan and I are on the road cooking chili, and visiting new and old chili friends on the way toward Terlingua. By the time we get home for a cookoff in December, we’ll have been gone for close to two months and attended eleven cookoffs. This is really exciting for us to have the extended time to visit, and we’re really looking forward to this trip as we’re planning the next tour for springtime. Speaking of Terlingua, the Directors have been working hard for many months to make TICC better than ever. There are a number of improvements that have been put in place for this year. We hope you’ll be there to enjoy them. If you haven’t already volunteered, please consider giving a little of your time to assist with judging on Friday, helping at the gate, at one of the concessions, or at registration. TICC is a large event and takes the best efforts of many to run smoothly. I look forward to seeing many of you in Terlingua, and I hope you’ve all had a successful start at accumulating points to qualify for next year.

Ray King Last month I promised to write briefly about the first Great Peppers Meeting in 1980. And I will, but first I can’t resist putting in my two cents worth about the Twenty Seventh Annual CASI Great Peppers Meeting in Austin, Texas in 2006. I know some of you think it is early for us to be meeting and planning for an event that is not until two years hence. But that is not the way we do things around here. Just because we talk a little slow does not mean we don’t react fast. Slow talking was invented to fool our Yankees brethren into thinking they were smarter than us. The second meeting of the committee to prepare for the 2006 Great Peppers Meeting in Austin met on September 21, 2004. It was a lot more fun and sometimes just as sensible as a Kinky Friedman novel. Someone brought up that we needed a theme for the meeting. Some wanted western, some music, some Mexican, and I suggested Chinese. From there it went down hill and was tabled. It is hard for some people to put a tag on Austin being known for anything specific. I guess it is your own individual image and we all have a different one. To a San Antonio writer it is Babylon on the Brazos. It’s Esters Follies, Sixth Street and western music to some. But to me, it’s CHILI. That’s what I think of when I think of Austin. Specifically 1977 when the 65th Texas Legislature met in session. Even more specifically when the House Concurrent Resolution No. 18 passed and CHILI became the state dish of Texas. Ben Z. Grant of Marshall and Ron Rice of San Antonio cosponsored the resolution that made chili the state dish. There was a big push from West Texas to make Bar-B-Que the dish. The golden triangle of Beaumont and Port Arthur wanted gumbo; the Mexicans wanted Menudo and on it went. Sound like the theme scenario mentioned previously? It was finally decided that chili was developed in San Antonio and the only contender that had a Texas birthright. Making chili the Texas state dish has some fun and entertaining history and Terlingua Cookoff connections. Look it up, there are many sources for information. After all of that, am I missing something or isn’t the Great Peppers Meeting about CHILI? The chili pepper has always been the integral part of chili cooking. What chili cook do you know that doesn’t have a room full of stuff with chili peppers on them? They will also darn sure buy the next item involving a chili pepper the next time they see one they don’t have. The chili pepper has many themes. I think of cowboy boots and tennis shoes, country music to rock and roll, Dorals or roll your own, Armadillo races and Armadillo hunts, lemon roll to bowling, doctors and lawyers and Indian chiefs. Anglo, Latino, Black or a what, who cares. Friends with mostly first names. How large can this kaleidoscope get, just thinking of the chili pepper. I can tell a chili tale about any of the above. I thought the parallel was worth mentioning Next month’s article will be about the first Great Peppers Meeting. It made this month’s article too long. But, it is written and in Renee’s trusty hands. I will see you on the trail to Terlingua Page 3 Page 4 Terlingua Trails CASI Membership Report Mikie McGarity - Membership Chairperson Thank you to all of our members who have renewed their annual dues.

Scholarship Recipient Update I graduated from Big Bend High School in May 2000 and am attending Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. I have attended Angelo State University and Howard College. My major is Range Animal Science and minor is Natural Resource Management. Upon the completion of my Bachelor’s degree, I plan on pursuing a career relating to my field of study or entering the United States Border Patrol. While attending Big Bend High School, I was actively involved in many school improvement projects. I helped improve the playground by building soccer goals, benches, covered seating areas, basketball goals and sidewalks. I have also been involved in projects regarding the community center. I have been honored to be a recipient of the CASI Valedictorian Scholarship. Scholarships awarded by CASI have helped so many students pursue their education.

Boy how things have changed since last month. Many of our cooks have suffered losses from hurricanes and other types of storms. Harry and I continue to say our prayers for those affected, because I am sure it is much worse than we can think. Fall has fallen here in Lamar, Missouri, and it can be seen from all the leaves on the ground and the smell of burning leaves in the evening. If you remember in the past I told you Lamar was still a one-horse town, now with two stoplights. Lamar still lets people do a lot of things other towns don’t allow and burning leaves is one of them. Today was a beautiful day in Lamar so I finally got Harry out of bed and outside to work in the yard this morning. Harry has his nights and days mixed up. He is up all night and then wants to sleep all day. I have no idea how I’m going to deal with him at Terlingua, but he has his airplane ticket so he’s going and going to cook. I always like the fresh air smell of bed sheets after they’ve been washed and hung out on the clothesline to dry. Yes, you guessed it. After we cleaned in the yard, I washed the bedclothes and hung them out. Harry then decided to burn the leaves we raked up. Now I have to rewash the clothes and dry them in the dryer. Time is running out on me, and I have so much to try to get done by November 16. My left knee didn’t last the two years the Doctor told me it would, so I’m scheduled for knee replacement. I guess the extra stress I put on it after having my right knee done earlier this year caused it to go out. I could have had it done the last of October but we couldn’t have made the trip to Terlingua this year. I would rather endure the pain than miss the trip and seeing my chili family. I notice many of you have cooked and placed for the new year. Congratulations! Harry and I have not been able to make it out so far this year. Raising the grandchildren and them growing older, it seems there are more and more school activities to plan our weekends around. Also, the older they get the more expensive it becomes. Raising the grandchildren is a lot different than raising our children 40 years ago. I am not complaining as God gave us two wonderful kids, and it’s the least we can do to at least make a hard time in their life a little smoother. Until Harry and I see or talk with you just remember: To start slow and then taper off.

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.
