Monday, October 7, 2002 NEWS IN BRIEF Company looks to open new spaceport FORT STOCKTON, Texas (AP) — A company successfully launched a 14-foot rocket Saturday night on arid Texas ranchland that organizers hope will become a commercial spaceport. The 50 or so people cheered when the slim white rocket blasted off, then roared again when it came down five minutes later with a parachute. The rocket traveled about 20,000 feet in 34 seconds and came down several miles away. The launch was delayed for 3 1/2 hours because of high winds. The launch site — on tree less, scrubby ranchland about nine miles south of Fort Stockton — is a far cry from NASA. But California company JP Aerospace, which has built and flown low-cost aerospace sys tems over the last 23 years, is trying to establish a private launch service. With a small core staff of about four people and 50 volunteers, the company is billing itself as “Americans other space program.” Using government facilities for commercial launches is expensive, said Alfred Differ, a volunteer who is the company’s director of analysis. He said the company will launch just about anything from science experi ments to stunts.

(AP) Bishop John B. McCormack confronted angry parishioners Sunday as he explained why he assigned to their church a priest who had a sexual rela tionship with a teenage boy. “Don't accuse me of lying. I'm not lying, he shouted as many in the crowd of about 200 at St. Patrick Church accused him of withholding information about the Rev. Roland Cote. Asked by several people to resign, the bishop responded: “I have no intention of resigning, I am here to serve.” McCormack celebrated Mass and took questions from the congregation to discuss the allegations against Cote, assigned to the church in June. Cote greeted McConnack at the church, but did not attend the service or the discussion afterward. In April, Cote was accused of sexual mis conduct with a teenage boy during the 1980s. Cote has acknowledged the relationship, but said the young man was at least 18 at the time. The man, now 35, told authorities Cote molested him while assigned to St. Patrick’s Church in Newport. Reporters were not allowed in the church during the service or discussion, but could hear the raised voices from outside. Before Mass, about 40 people picketed at the church, carrying signs saying, “Rectify, Redeem, Resign,” and “No $$ to diocese until McComiack resigns.” During the discussion after the service, the bishop was asked why he didn’t tell the com munity about Cote’s history. McCormack said it was a private matter that violated nei ther the law nor church policy. Mark Your Calendar! 2002 Graduate & Professional School Day Planning to pursue an advanced degree?
