First commercial satellite
may launch from island
JACKSON. Mtw. — An island
near the MiHMfpi Gulf Coast
could be the u«r of the nation *>
first cotmnemal satellite bun
rhmf in early l&fl.V officials say.
Gov WiKam Winter and for
mer NASA astronaut Donald K.
“Deke’* Slayton said at a news
conference Tufsdav Cat island,
an uninhabited area 10 miles off
the coast, is under strong con
sideration bv S^ace Services Inc.
of Houston for its first launch
“Subject to state and federal
approval, we would like to
bunch from that location be
cause it would be the only non
governmental site that would
allow us ooMnuoi conditions for
polar orbital bunches.** said
§bvton. now president of the
firm.
The tatcflite liftoff would be
the first onittrcial bunching
m the nation. Winter said, and
"would put Mississippi squarely
in the middle of the space busi
ness.*'
Negotiators from the com
pany have talked with the is
land's owner. Nathan Boddie,
and found him ‘‘amenable*' to
the project. Slayton said He said
SSI is interested in buying or
leasing 200>25# acres of the is
land tor its bunc h site
“This is a splendid opportun
ity for both Mississippi and SSI,**
Winter said
“We hope they establish a
thriving, cranmercial space port
on Cat island and that their ven
ture will attract ocher high-
technology companies to our
state." Winter said “In fact, the
Mississippi Department of Eco
nomic Development directly en
couraged iSI to look over the
site, wid cm examination they
found it highly suitable."
The an manned satellites
would gather information on
the atmosphere, weather, agri
culture, geology and other con
ditions, sWton said. The infor
mation then would be sold to in
terested parties
Slayton said he expected
most of the company's business
to come from the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and private
oil companies interested- in data
gathered by the satellites The
number of satellites bunched,
he said, will depend on the num
ber of customers purchasing
gatfiered information.
If the company obtains the
Land, Sbvton estimated instalb-
tion of the bunch pad and re
lated facilities would cost about
$2 million, with the actual
bunch of «ach satellite costing
$8-10 million. He said no price
has been discussed for the island
acreage

A launch sue on 9the island
would not affect development
outside the bunch area. Slayton
said, nor would it; adversely
affect the environflient The
power and exhaust df the 900-
pound satellites. «ro4ld be 20
tunes smaller than comparable
larger NASA sacelliuts. he said
In other bubnekt, Winter
appointed Col. Charlie D.
Brae keen of Decatur as assistant
adjutant general of the Missis
sippi National Guard, Brackeen
will replace Gen. Gray Harrison,
who was appointed recently as
the guard’s new adjutant gen
eral
Brackeen is a SO-y^ar veteran
of the military, Wintdk said, cur
rently serving as dean of stu
dents at East Central Junior Col
lege in Dacatur.
Also at Tuesday'% news con
feiVnce, Winter’s wife, Elise.
E resented a $2,000 dieck to the
lississippi Children’s Founda
tion for continued w4rk in help
ing mentally disturbed children.
The money represents the
royalties from the first printing
of her book. “Dinner at the Man
sion," a recipe manual. Mrs
Winter said, bhe saai the royal
ties from the bock’s second
printing this fall also will be don
ated to the foundaubn.

EDMOND, Okb — Televi
sion evangelist Richard Hogue
says asking for money to film his
religious program made him
“uncomfortable,'* so he laun
ched his own secular Donahue-
type Hollywood talk show.
Hogue's previius media
offering — “Richard Hogue
Weekdays," a commercial-free
combination religions and en
tertainment talk sh^w — ran
short of funds, so thf Edmond-
based evangelist decided in Sep
tember 1982 secubr was the way
to go
But was he
a good cook?
Praaa latarSafltoaal
CORTE MADERA. Calif. —
Garry James Odehil was jailed
and faces charges far being an
uninvited guest
Police said the problem was
that Odehift, 35, of San Francis
co, apparently used a ladder to
climb in the windofv of Susan
EmUy Zivkr's home in Corte
Madera.
Ms. Zivic heard noises and
called police, who said they
peeked in the window to see
OdehiR put something in the
oven. The "somethkig* turned
out to be a pound of kozrn ham
burger, taken out of Ms. Zivic’s
freezer
With dinner in the oven,
police said they observed Ode
hill remove his clothifig as he left
the kitchen
When they finally broke into
the house to apprehend him,
they found the suspect comfort
ably languishing in the bathtub
He claimed he Ihfed in the
house.
Police arrested him and
booked him into the Marin
County jail, where ke was held

“Trykig to raise enoui
money through gift* to func
top-q ualily show is a difficult
thing to do," Hogue said.
“Frankly 1 got to the puce where
1 was very uncomfortable hav
ing to ask people for funds."
Hogue, pastor of the 5,000-
member non-denominational
met roc h nr. h in Edmond, says
his new talk show, “With
Richard Hogue," contains
“some laughs and some tears
too," plus “those Hollywood
guests you want to meet."
“We're going to talk about
things like how to rear your
family and negotiating for sex,"
he said in filming promotions
for 16 stations that will added to
the present 25 subscribers
“We’re also going to look at
some fun stuff like chocolate
mania and cosmetic surgery.“
Hogue said the difference be
tween the two shows “is more in
the funding aspect of the show
than the actual content.”
“The thing about ’Richard
Hogue Weekdays' that was
Christian was me because I'm a
Christian and I love Jesus
Christ,” he said in a telephone
interview. “I still do. It’s Christ
ian in pentpective because 1 am a
Christian.
In his 30-second promotional
spots, Hogue promises to dis
cuss “topics that affect your ev
eryday life"
While the old show was filmed
in Dallas, “With Richard
Hogue" is being taped in Holly
wood.
The new 30-minute show
aimed at women began airing
every weekday ia January and
now is carried on 25 stations.
The number of stations will in
crease to 41 in the fall. •
Among the new cities airing
the show are Denver. Houston
Dallas and Salt Lake CiW. The
show also will be aired in fUiaoss,
California. Missouri and Ala
bama.
Although “With Richard
Hogue” is not being broadcast in
Oklahoma. Hogue said he is
Irving to arrange that
“We are very close with a ma
jor affiliate here. We want to
show it in Oklahoma City very
badly"
7-foot fish bites Chicagoan
UaiMri Praaa Ii
RHINfLANDER. wis —
Forget about “Jaws” and
"Shark '' Wisconsin has grown
its own snmmer horror story in
the form of a 7-foot-long muskie
that took a bite out of a Chicago
girl.
The narr muskie attack left
Amber Fairley, 13, with a cut on
her foot that required 15 stitches
to close. It scared off some swim
mers, bqt brought scores of
fishermen to Island Lake.
Fairley said Tuesday that she
was pulled “three or four inches
into the water” by the giant fish
before it |et go. She said she felt
pain and swam hack to the raft.
"1 didn't know what it was. 1
could picture this monster biting
my foot."
She said the bite covered her
whole foot. “I even have teeth
marks on my toes.” Fairley said.
"My whole foot is all mutilated.
It’s really gross-looking."
The attack last Thursday and
the giant nature of the game fish
was confirmed by the girl, the
doctor who treated her, fisher
men and Iron County sheriffs
deputies.
r ‘The lake gets as dear as
glass," Fairley said, adding she
and others had seen the nuge
muskellunge for two days be
fore the attack. “We saw this big
muskie circling a duckling. It
must have been about seven feet
long."
"Fishing has really picked up
since the attack." said Jodv Tee
ters of Raap's Resort, where the
girl and her family were staying.
"One guy had it on his line
Saturday night But it got off."
Muskie attacks are rare but
not unheard of in the north
woods, said Steve Sernt of the
Department of Natural Re
sources in Woodruff. A muskie
attack was reported on Tom
Doyle Lake near Rhinelander in
19o0, and Serns himself was bit-

ten in 1978 on Mid Lake in the
Mintxqua Chain of Lakes.
Serns said he was Attacked
while treading water next to a
boat. •"It feh Hke an i IsgRli gl
shock. I felt a real strong lotting
sensation, then pain " Hts gash
required 23 stitches.
“A muskie wouldn't noramltv
attack anything that it couldn’t
swallow," Serns said. “They
swallow things whole, unlike a
shark which bites
"Poor visibility contributes to
a muskie attack. The fish can’t
see the whole body and goes af
ter a flash-in the water- They
think they can swallow it whole . 4 '
Serns said.
