President'sMessage

A Report from the Desertand the Rancho CASI de los Chisos

Diane and I arrived in the Terlingua area in late Septemberand the first three days we were here, it rained 3 inches. Prior to

this, the area had over 10 inches, give or take, in August and September. We had another 4 tenthsof rain this morning, which I hate to say we don’t need at this time, but Mother Nature doeswhat she wants. The desert is covered in a green carpet of blooming flowers and many greenplants. This is good. The bad news is the rain has also brought many tall weeds and grass tothe Ranch.

Diane and I, along with Tom & Dorathy Williams, have started cleaning up the cookoffsite, filling in holes, and planting new plants, which add to the over 2,000 plants Tom & Dorathyalready planted throughout the site. The removal of weeds, grass, left over junk, and any otheritems 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 mudwhen we have significant rains as in the past couple of months. Who said there is nothing todo out here; never a dull moment.

I spoke with Jimmy Taylor regarding the site. Our good friend and contractor DaleBlackstock has offered to put a road grader and tractor on the site to rework, widen, level, anddo general cleanup due to the rain; a couple of days of machine work and labor at no charge toCASI.

Jim Ezell tells me he has been swamped with last minute vendor requests, whichusually happens just prior to TICC. Jim continues to work with all of our sponsors. All ofthe 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 four-mile stretch from the Ghost Town to the entrance of the CASI Ranch. For those of you goingup Peppers Hill, it won’t be quite as difficult a trip this year. They have lowered the hill byabout 8 feet and widened much of the road. Tom and I paid a visit to the State HighwayDepartment in Alpine and were told that the road construction will be put on hold from theSunday before the cookoff to the Sunday after the cookoff, or October 31 to November 8. Wehope the road will be in good shape for TICC week, but only time will tell. I know they willdo what they can in the time they have. If anybody has questions or concerns, please contactme.

As you know, the water company down here will again be selling water during theTICC week. Water will be TEN CENTS PER GALLON, not the 5 cents in the packet. That’sthe 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 soappreciative 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 safetrip to the desert; we look forward to seeing you.

Mel & DI

Greetings from the chili trail. Susan and I are on theroad cooking chili, and visiting new and old chili friends on theway toward Terlingua. By the time we get home for a cookoffin December, we’ll have been gone for close to two monthsand attended eleven cookoffs. This is really exciting for us tohave the extended time to visit, and we’re really lookingforward to this trip as we’re planning the next tour forspringtime.

Speaking of Terlingua, the Directors have been working hard for many months to makeTICC better than ever. There are a number of improvements that have been put in place for thisyear. We hope you’ll be there to enjoy them.

If you haven’t already volunteered, please consider giving a little of your time to assistwith judging on Friday, helping at the gate, at one of the concessions, or at registration. TICC isa 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 asuccessful start at accumulating points to qualify for next year.

‘A View from the Top of an OldChilihead’©

By H. Ray King

Last month I promised to write briefly about the first Great Peppers Meeting in 1980. AndI will, but first I can’t resist putting in my two cents worth about the Twenty Seventh Annual CASIGreat Peppers Meeting in Austin, Texas in 2006. I know some of you think it is early for us to bemeeting and planning for an event that is not until two years hence. But that is not the way we dothings around here. Just because we talk a little slow does not mean we don’t react fast. Slow talkingwas 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 inAustin met on September 21, 2004. It was a lot more fun and sometimes just as sensible as a KinkyFriedman 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 yourown individual image and we all have a different one. To a San Antonio writer it is Babylon on theBrazos. It’s Esters Follies, Sixth Street and western music to some. But to me, it’s CHILI. That’swhat I think of when I think of Austin. Specifically 1977 when the 65th Texas Legislature met insession. Even more specifically when the House Concurrent Resolution No. 18 passed and CHILIbecame the state dish of Texas.

Ben Z. Grant of Marshall and Ron Rice of San Antonio cosponsored the resolution thatmade chili the state dish. There was a big push from West Texas to make Bar-B-Que the dish. Thegolden triangle of Beaumont and Port Arthur wanted gumbo; the Mexicans wanted Menudo and onit went. Sound like the theme scenario mentioned previously? It was finally decided that chili wasdeveloped in San Antonio and the only contender that had a Texas birthright. Making chili the Texasstate dish has some fun and entertaining history and Terlingua Cookoff connections. Look it up, thereare 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 knowthat doesn’t have a room full of stuff with chili peppers on them? They will also darn sure buy thenext item involving a chili pepper the next time they see one they don’t have. The chili pepper hasmany themes. I think of cowboy boots and tennis shoes, country music to rock and roll, Dorals orroll your own, Armadillo races and Armadillo hunts, lemon roll to bowling, doctors and lawyers andIndian chiefs. Anglo, Latino, Black or a what, who cares. Friends with mostly first names. Howlarge can this kaleidoscope get, just thinking of the chili pepper. I can tell a chili tale about any ofthe above.

I thought the parallel was worth mentioningNext 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

Bess's BestHello all! Boy how things have changed since last month.

Many of our cooks have suffered losses from hurricanes and other typesof 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 groundand the smell of burning leaves in the evening. If you remember in the past I told you Lamar wasstill a one-horse town, now with two stoplights. Lamar still lets people do a lot of things other townsdon’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 workin the yard this morning. Harry has his nights and days mixed up. He is up all night and then wantsto sleep all day. I have no idea how I’m going to deal with him at Terlingua, but he has his airplaneticket 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 onthe clothesline to dry. Yes, you guessed it. After we cleaned in the yard, I washed the bedclothesand hung them out. Harry then decided to burn the leaves we raked up. Now I have to rewash theclothes 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. Myleft 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 goout. I could have had it done the last of October but we couldn’t have made the trip to Terlinguathis 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! Harryand I have not been able to make it out so far this year. Raising the grandchildren and them growingolder, it seems there are more and more school activities to plan our weekends around. Also, the olderthey get the more expensive it becomes. Raising the grandchildren is a lot different than raising ourchildren 40 years ago. I am not complaining as God gave us two wonderful kids, and it’s the leastwe 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. Bess & Harry
