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.

Bishop faces angry crowd at church
where accused priest was assigned
JAFFREY, N.H. (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.

HOPPER
Paleontologist Paul Sereno has encountered some
of the weirdest creatures that ever walked the earth. Yet some of the scariest
things he’s discovered aren’t likely to become extinct anytime soon. Sad to say,
mutual fund management fees will probably outlast us all. That’s why Dr. Sereno
was afraid of getting eaten alive ^ So he turned
to a company famous for keeping the costs down. That meant more money for
him and less for the monsters.
