Bobcat Gridders Bring Home Victory

by CCHS Coaching Staff

-WESTCLIFFE, Colo.
The CCHS Football team traveled to Elbert Friday night for a non-conference game and the opener to the 2018 season. After a scoreless first half, the Bobcats broke out in the second half to pull out a 20-6 victory.
The first half was a defensive battle as both teams struggled to get their offenses going. “We had very little information on Elbert going into the game,” noted head coach Troy Bomgardner. “So it was adjust on the run and try to figure out their defense and their best players and it took our kids a while but we started to roll in the second half.”
Special teams played a big part in the victory as the Cats continually kept the Bulldogs pinned deep in their own territory with punts by Adam Sapp and great snaps by Jake Morris. Defense played a solid game led by linebackers Cole Budds with 20 tackles and Ray Perez with 18 tackles. Sapp added 16 tackles from his defensive line position.

The Colorado Press Association: Part of the Deep State?

by George Gramlich, Editor

I received this email below from Jill Farschman of the Colorado Press Association last week:


The last line is a link to the Boston Globe article calling for all the newspapers in the U.S. to write editorials condemning President Trump’s attacks against the main stream media concerning the media coverage of him and his administration.
The Colorado Press Association (CPA) is the “trade” group for Colorado newspapers. It has been around for a long time. It is definitely left leaning. Regrettably, when we started the Sentinel six years ago we thought it prudent to join the CPA for a variety of reasons, one being credibility as a new, startup newspaper. It isn’t cheap to join. It became apparent when working with them and viewing their publications over a period of two years that the Sentinel was probably a lone sheep dog in a pack of left wing wolves. So we quit the organization. Continue reading The Colorado Press Association: Part of the Deep State? →

Drought Seminar

Been Through the Desert
on a Horse with No Name…. Drought Seminar

by Arthur Gerard Michael
von Boennighausen
I attended the drought seminar with 40 other people at our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church community room. The audience included Fred Berry, Jerry Seifert, Dorothy Nepa and Robert Miller. The seminar was facilitated by a USDA Ethnographer. As part of the seminar the attendees shared their current situation along with any course of action that would help all of us. The consensus was that we are in an extreme drought. People as old as 88 could not remember even the most reliable mountain streams and creeks drying up like this year. Hay production is at 20 percent of normal and many Ranchers have sold off their herd at a very low price as there is not enough grass hay to feed the animals. Continue reading Drought Seminar →

Why We Cannot Stop Mass Shootings

Dear Editor,
I just read the Tom Knighton column on “How to Stop Mass Shootings” in your July 27th edition. While Tom makes some good points, the simple answer is “no, we can’t stop mass shootings.” This is America, a constitutional Republic, with 400 million firearms legally in civilian hands. Sadly, few in public office are serious about doing anything about mass shootings, school shootings or neighborhood shootings like those that happen daily in Chicago. There exists in America many who are sympathetic toward illegal alien murderers, terrorists, MS 13 gang members and even school Continue reading Why We Cannot Stop Mass Shootings →

The Printz Transcript

The missing sections of Custer County’s video recording are highlighted here in red bold italics.

To compare the audio that the Sentinel reporter took, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCWmDsnziFo

To see how much Mr Printz likes that recorder, see this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVjXRDXp47U

Mr. Printz: “I’m going to take a couple of minutes here because I think it’s very important for me to tell this audience, the audience at home and the audience watching on the computer, that I am sick and damn tired of being personally attacked by that lady sitting there in purple, Jaxine Bubis, a.k.a. Jaxine Daniels and her newspaper.
What I’m referring to is an ongoing and continuous attempt to harass me, to discredit me, and make me look bad. Continue reading The Printz Transcript →
