Since the Democratic Party Lark's, who run Public Access television in Calaveras County, will
never apologize for the incmpetent, politically biased and completely worthless activity they promote on our two public access channels in Calaveras County, we will.
For two nights in a row, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors video was stopped after a few minutes. On Tuesday night, it came back after a few minutes. Last night, we received all kinds of complaints that the video disappeared after 10 minutes and NEVER RETURNED.
To say that this is disgraceful and disgusting is not enough. We have emailed Calaveras County Superintendent of Schools Kathy Northington, who is the Board Chair over public access in the County. She will not likely even respond!!
The City Administrator of Angels Camp told us that he has tried to get Lark to fix the sound on their videos. That has gone on for many months. Our tax money pays for these meetings to be filmed.
Between she and the other political appointments on that Board, nothing ever changes. They take people's money and refuse to return it when they totally screw up.
Northington refuses to take complaints and deal with them, once actually telling us that the only complaints they even consider are those of people who take days off work to come to their few and far between meetings.
As we told Northington this morning, she uses the 2 channels to promote her next election and the incompetence and lack of professionalism is a disgrace to our county. Hire someone who cares!!
We also need to make sure one political party and Callaway's appointees are not the only people in charge, like it is now. It is disgusting!
Northington promotes "civility", her civility! She is actually against "civility", since it is uncivil to prevent the public from seeing our elected officials meetings with normal sound, without cutouts, and with employees who are well-paid, but act as if they are volunteers. "Oh, well!!" is the entire attitude.
We really do not need a Superintendent of Schools over this county, not one like this one, anyway! What a complete waste of money. Our TAX MONEY!! Something should be done to change this!!
No! The Larks will never apologize, nor will Northington. She believes it is "UNCIVIL" to dare complain about this disgrace.
The Sierra Sentinel apologizes to the public for this behavior of elected officials failures. Nothing will change!!

Oh my gosh. i tried to watch that video last night too. bout time someone calls them for what they are.
Civility is your ACTIONS more than your WORDS, Ms Northington. Pay attention!!
Their equipment is old and needs replacing. Ask the BOS if they will fund new equipment.
I'm not excusing, just trying to provide facts.
Wait, i heard that they give the old television group, what was it cctv or something, money every month to rent that building. is that true. what a waste. are they still involved. that money should go to buy all new everything. they never cared about anything but theselves anyway. I remember them.
Calaveras Department of Education has always used public funds to campaign for the County Superintendent's next election on public access. Rmember the last guy who was in there. Same thing. What was his name?
This has nothing to do with equipment. I don't think lark cares about the most important thing they do, provide the PUBLIC ACCESS to public meetings of elected officials. They don't even know how to push the right buttons. Don't blame the equipment!
