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 Passing of the Guard: Chief Jack Slater Retires

Story and photos
by George Gramlich
It was 1988 when Jack and Audrey Slater, owners of The General Store on Oak Creek Grade, (they’re on the Fremont side about a mile north from the Custer County border,) decided that due to their remote location, some sort of firefighting capability was needed on the Grade’s plateau. (The “plateau” starts around mile marker 10 on County Road 255 and extends north past the Fremont County line to the National Forest Lions Canyon Trailhead campsite going down “the hill”. About five miles long.) Continue reading The Passing of the Guard: Chief Jack Slater Retires →

Silver Cliff Honored

by Fred Hernandez
In the bygone era of the early 1800’s when people had to care for each other, organizations formed to act as security nets for the workers of this country. Conditions were always difficult and sometimes downright dangerous. Men lost their lives in the course of making a living to support their families. Wives and orphans were left to fend for themselves in the harshest of conditions. To alleviate some of the hardship, fellow workers banded together and formed associations with the main purpose of helping the unfortunate families who lost their breadwinners. One such group was first founded in Virginia at the beginning of 1800. By 1830, it had a counterpart in California, but it really took off in 1849 at the start of the gold rush. From then on it grew rapidly. Continue reading Silver Cliff Honored →

Hospital District Board: WHERE IS OUR SECOND AMBULANCE THAT WE PAID FOR?

Another Hospital District Mirage

by George Gramlich,
News and Commentary
The critical issue of not having a 2nd Custer County EMS (CCEMS) ambulance with a qualified crew reliably available still plagues Custer County (CC) and its citizens. Not to mention that the Clinic has NO doctors. (See below.) This problem has been with us for a long time and has been quite visible for the last seven years or so.
It was supposed to have been solved with the large EMS mil levy ($280,000) voters approved in 2014 but that has NOT happened.
After reading multiple incidents on the daily Custer County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) Incident Report and listening to them on the scanner, the Sentinel reached out to the Sheriff’s Office (SO) and asked if there were any statistics available for times when a 2nd CCEMS crew was needed and called and was NOT available. It turns out that there was. The SO was gracious enough to compile a spreadsheet from 1/29/18 to 6/12/18 showing the cases where someone in Custer County needed an ambulance crew while one was busy on another call and CCEMS could not provide the 2nd crew. To say the least,it is very, very alarming.
In a four-and-a-half-month period, FIFTEEN TIMES CCSO Dispatch requested a 2nd crew and CCEMS was UNABLE to answer those calls. In those cases, thankfully, Deer Mountain EMS was able to send their primary or SECONDARY ambulance to help CC out. On at least one call, Flight for Life was also called as it was uncertain if Deer Mountain could make it in time. (Flight for Life would have caused the patient to incur an enormous bill, of $10,000 to $20,000!)…

Sheepdog to Graduates…

Sheepdog Speaks to Graduates

Last week I watched a few college graduation addresses by several prominent LPSCD leaders like Clinton, Carter and Gore. Turned my stomach and made me want to bite someone. I believe that I could provide better conservative advice and decided to speak to my many, many young readers, especially at the high school level. If you know any other young people graduating from high school this year please give them a copy of this sheepdog wisdom. WOOF!

Dear Graduates,
Congratulations! Here are some thoughts for a successful and responsible life: America is a wonderful place. Be thankful if you were born here or live here. America has many faults and challenges but it is still the greatest country in the world. Continue reading Sheepdog to Graduates… →

Sheepdog Explanations

The New Subscriber’s Guide
to Reading and Loving
the  ‘A Sheepdog Barks!’ Column

We constantly get questions from new readers about the strange “sounds” and “abbreviations” in my column. This column was inspired by an article I read many years ago called “On Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs.” New readers can always find it on our web site at SangreDeCristoSentinel.com. Today you can read a condensed version on page 19. Please read it; it will help you understand.
Today I’m reprinting excerpts from several of my previous columns. I’m calling this one “The New Subscriber’s Guide to Reading and Loving the ‘A Sheepdog Barks!’ Column.” Continue reading Sheepdog Explanations →

The Naked Communist

The LPSCD Manifesto

Cleon Skousen (1913-2006) was a conservative constitutionalist and author. He was an FBI Special Agent and the Police Chief of Salt Lake City, UT. Skousen was a controversial author and speaker, extremely anti-communist and opposed all federal regulatory agencies and argued for the abolition of everything from the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He also wanted to repeal the minimum wage, eliminate unions, nullify anti-discrimination laws, sell off public lands and national parks, end the direct election of senators, eliminate the federal income tax and estate taxes, remove the walls separating church and state, and end the Federal Reserve System.  His book, The Naked Communist, was first published in 1958 and exposed the dangers of the Communists trying to destroy America from within.  In his book he printed the strategic Communist Goals of that time to accomplish that task.  We are alarmed at how many of them seem to be the current goals (bolded) of the Liberal Progressives and the Democrat Party in America today.  Please review these (at the link below)  and judge for yourself.  We believe they have already accomplished many of them.   The LPSCD Manifesto
