M-I-C-K-E-Y will roll again complete with music videos
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Annette Funicello is gone, and so are Sherry, Cubby, Darlene and Bobby.

But Chase Hampton knocks 'em dead with a calypso song-and-dance number. And Josh, Tifflin, Lindsay, Albert and the gang get the studio jumping with a rap-and-disco blend of M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-U-O-S-E.
The "Mickey Mouse Club" is back. And although its style has been updated, the people at Walt Disney say it's just as good and relevant as the original television show was when it began 34 years ago.
"We had a lot of skepticism about doing the 'Mickey Mouse Club' in the 1990s," said Steve Fields, senior vice president of the Disney Channel, which will carry the show. "But so many elements (of the old show) were terrific, and kids still release to kids."
Just like its predecessor, the new show is for and by kids from about
ages 8 to 12 and features music, dancing, comedy skits, celebrity guests and the "Mickey Mouse Club" movie. The comedy skirts are often geared to preteens' problems: dating, sibling rivalry, messy rooms, homework.
"I't hard to say, Hey, it's not easy be a kid. . . We're going to make you laugh and reduce some of the stress," said Steve Clements, executive producer.
The show is designed to provide education through entertainment, but the accent is clearly on the latter, Clements said.
"It's all great fun. There are no messages that are knocked into people's heads, no public service anecdotes, nothing about things or anything like that," he said.
"This is my dream job," said head writer Alan Silberberg, who has a master's degree in education from Harvard University. "We take entertainment and use it to educate about kids issues. . . . the show
There's a big difference from the 1950s show - cartoons have been replaced by music videos. One of the early episodes features a jazzy song-and-dance number on a New York city street set.
gives them a sense that they're not along out there."
Another innovation is a segment in which club members from around the country are selected to spend a day with their special heroes. Among the celebrities taped so far are Los Angeles pitcher Orel Hershiser, model Christie Brinkley and New York developer Donald Trump.
The not-so-grown-up hosts are Fred Newman, an actor, writer and comedian, and Mowava Pryor, a former camp counselor with theater experience who has appeared in dozens of television commercials.
The "Mickey Mouse Club" makes its debut April 24. The half-hour show will be shown weekday afternoons.
Officials examine Exxon's proposal for cleanup of oil spill in Alaska
The Associated Press
VALDEZ, Alaska - State and federal officials examined Exon's plan to clean hundreds of miles of shoreline as an environmentally risky steam-cleaning method was tested Sunday on rocks blackened by America's worst oil spill
Oil from the 10.1 million-gallon spill, mostly in the form of tar bulbs and mousse-like foam, threatened Homer and other ports on fish-rich Cook Inlet.
Boats from Kodiak, the nation's No.1 fishing port, were forced to avoid part of a herring grounds closed late Sturday due to oil nearby.
State wildlife biologist Dave Prokopwich said he thought no potentially tainted fish were taken in the closed area, at the northern tip of the Kodak Islands.
With winds mainly from the south, there was no sign of oil advancing toward Kodiak and rich
crab waters nearby, said Coast Guard Lt. Jim Madden.
"They (fishermen) seemed to have stayed away from those areas where they feared there might be contamination," Prokopowich said.
Homer residents complained of delays in placing booms they have built to protect their town. Exxon officials say the booms are being stockpiled at nearby Port Graham to make them easier to deploy when the oil strikes.
"People here in Homer are being jerked around," said Lee McCabe, a resident who was building booms. "If the fishermen in this town fished like Exon deploys boost, you'd never see a fish on the dock."
Exxon-paid workers tested cleanup methods on blackened rocks at Block Island, including high-pressure, hot-water sprayers. The company has about 200 of the sprayers, but they have not been previously with salt water.
Adm. Paul Vost, the Coast Guard commandant sent by President Bush to hasten the operations, watched the steaming streams of water blast ankle-deep muck from a beach about 20 miles from where the Exxon Valdez ran aground.

those using high pressure, have little impact on microorganisms and small marine life. But the jets of high-pressure steam up-end rocks, strip away sand and gravel and kill beach life. Scientists say it takes as much as two years for life to return to the sterilized shore.
The admiral also said the logistics of keeping enough equipment and workers on the beaches of Prince William Sound during the brief summer would be enormous. Asked if the task could be completed by September, when Alaska begins bracing for winter, he said, "I don't know. It's going to be very, very tough,"
Cold-water techniques, even
Yost, however, said he thought the steam method was the only one that could cleanse the sound's shoreline.
Yost said he was unlikely to make public Exxon's shore cleanup plan, which he received Saturday. He said it was the company's plan, and it was up to Exxon whether to release it and let everybody in the United State second-guess them.
