LOCAL Saturday, April 23, 2005 The Advocate Carney will make another go at mayor CORRECTIONS -i Construction superintendent seeks Pataskala office what we want may not be good for the city." If anything, Carney said he wants people to view Pataskala as a viable, vibrant city, not a the city. I've been talking to business leaders around the community about bringing economic development to the city to bring some iracturea one. "I do believe we live in the greatest city in Central and people snoma siari io reai-, ize that," he said. Baird said he intends to run" for re-election in November, but" has not yet taken out any peti tions. r- a long history of serving his country.

He retired last June after 40 years combined service with the U.S. Air Force and Ohio Air National Guard. While Carney, who has lived in the city for 40 years, usually stays busy building commercial structures, he believes he can build some symbolic bridges in Pataskala. In recent years, city council meetings have turned contentious as two separate factions have argued about funding for the police, funding for the city and zoning issues, among other concerns. If elected, Carney said he would work to bring the two sides together.

"We need to put aside what we want for the betterment of the city and do whatever the city needs," he said. "We all want certain things, and By CHAD KLIMACK Advocate Reporter PATASKALA Pataskala resident Milton "Nick" Carney is living by the motto, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Carney, who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2001, intends to make another run at Pataskala's top office in November. He recently approached the Licking County Board of Elections to designate himself treasurer of the Carney for Mayor Campaign. Carney, 60, next plans on taking out the needed petitions to get on the November ballot. Carney said he is running for mayor because he cares about Pataskala, and he wants to make the city a better place to live.

"Why am I ninning again?" Carney asked.

AKRON (AP) When pornography accidentally aired on the cable access channel Christmas morning, the city was flooded with complaints. Full-frontal nudity and explicit sex scenes shown during a time when church choirs were supposed to be singing carols was just the latest straw for officials. For years, they have heard from residents who hated that the channel that showed school programming by day aired a mix of sermons, sexually suggestive music shows and homemade skin flicks by night.

Four months later, stricter rules govern what goes on Channel 15, leading to a fight that has preachers and porn producers on the same side in defense of free speech. What started as a local rift has ballooned into a federal court battle that is being watched nationwide. The stations usually air low-budget community announcements notices about changes to trash pickup or events for local charities, for example educational programming and local government meetings. Some show amateur music videos and local political com be disappointed," he said. Al Henderson of Canton produced programs about community events along with "Illmatic TV," a 1 a.m.

variety show that aired porn scenes sent from a Los Angeles friend along with music videos and interviews with area artists. He, too, believes his First Amendment rights are in jeopardy. "Illmatic TV" cannot air on Channel 15 because Henderson is not from Akron and neither were the people in the sex scenes he showed. The stricter rules are intended to save money and rein in a cable access channel that had become too busy to properly manage, said Bill Jasso, a spokesman for Time Warner. Since the rules went into effect April 1, the number of access programs has dropped from 170 a week to about 70, decreasing the burden on Time Warner employees, he said.

The new rules technically target residency, not content, which is protected by the First Amendment. But they have the effect of getting controversial shows off the air because many of those tapes were produced by out-of-towners or include non-local content. Time Warner surveys show about 10 percent of any given community's cable subscribers say they watch access stations, Jasso said. The company has 11 million customers in 27 states.

Lee, 28, last known address 109 Terrace Newark, was indicted on one count each of aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery, first-degree felonies, one count of improperly firing a gun at or into a home, a second-degree felony, and one count of having a weapon while under disability, a third-degree felony. The charge also includes a three-year gun specification. Authorities allege Lee broke into a Montgomery Avenue apartment on Aug.

6 to commit theft while possessing a Glock handgun, which he fired before leaving. Lee is forbidden to possess a gun due to prior assault on a peace officer, escape and domestic violence charges. Anthony T. Cunningham, 20, 4921 Montgomery Road NE, Newark, was indicted on two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, fourth-degree felonies. Prosecutors claim Cunningham engaged in sexual conduct with a 15-year-old girl on Feb.

25 and March 5. Sentences NEWARK The following people were sentenced recently in Licking County Common Pleas Court on felony convictions. John L. Leake, 30, of Columbus, was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to pay all fees after being found guilty of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, a fifth-degree felony. On Jan.

9, Leake borrowed friend's car with the understanding he would return it in few hours. He was found three days later asleep in the car in New Lexington, records stated. Albert Pressley, 52, last known address 48 Philmont Newark, was sentenced two years in prison with credit for 39 days and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine after being found guilty of trafficking in crack cocaine, a third-degree felony, and possession of crack, a fourth-degree felony.

CARNEY In 2001, Carney ran for mayor and lost to current Mayor Bruce Baird, but Carney said he learned a lot from the defeat, and he is excited about taking another run at mayor. Carney currently works as a construction superintendent and project manager for TC Weiser Construction, but he has mentary.

Nationwide, rules vary on what can be aired, depending on what the local government required in its contract with the cable company. At Channel 15, whoever submitted a tape got it aired for free. Earlier this month, Time Warner Cable toughened the rules, and the city agreed. People who want a show on the station must pay $25, show a driver's license that proves they live in Akron or selected suburbs and promise to produce shows that feature only residents. "I find the new rules offensive and a denial of our rights to access TV," said Rabbi David A.

Lipper. His Temple Israel of Akron can no longer afford to air its weekly services, which Lipper said not only helped shut-ins unable to come to synagogue but allowed people of all faiths to learn about Judaism. The Rev. Mike Frazier, pastor of Canton Baptist Temple, said his church can afford the fee but he is upset about it.
