Charity drives ‘Star Trek’ on the Web W Y BEN TINSLEY KRTCAMPUS Techies and Trekkies for a good cause? A strange partnership of the two subcultures have banded to gether to raise money for the fam ilies of astronauts who died in the space shuttle Columbia tragedy. They’ve put together an Internet version of “Star Trek,” picking up where the original series left off. Sounds like Trekkie heaven. But there’s a catch: The Net series features an entirely different cast. Dr. McCoy is portrayed by a urol ogist from Oregon, and Capt. James T. Kirk works during the day as Elvis at an amusement park. James Cawley, who plays Kirk, also is an executive producer. He said it will work because the time has come for fans to accept Kirk, Spock and McCoy as classic char acters who can be portrayed by more than one person. “I love William Shatner. I think he is absolutely the best, but I think the character of Capt. Kirk is like James Bond or Batman or Superman,” Cawley said. “You get a good actor, and they can also play the part.” NASA was somewhat circum spfect about the projexU, titled "New Voyages,” but Gareth Conway, media liaison for the nonprofit Space Shuttle Children’s Trust Fund, said it will be a wonderful tribute to the memory of the seven astronauts killed during Columbia’s disin tegration over East Texas last February. “Certainly, the vision of Gene Roddenberry in the 'Star Trek’ se ries is tantamount to what many believe the explorations of the heavens might be,” Conway said. Even Shatner had something nice to say. He praised the project in a statement issued by publicist Robin Guido. “I think it’s a wonderful thing for the fans of a science-fiction space show to give real money to real people in a loving desire to help,” Shatner said. “New Voyages” focuses on the continuing voyages of Kirk and crew in the 1966-1969 “Star Trek” television series, which was can celed after its third season — the same year the first astronaut walked on the moon. The series is being restarted as if it were in the fourth year of the original five-year mission. The actors and producers, working for free, hope to raise at least $250,000 to donate to the Space Shuttle Children’s Trust Fund on Sept. 8, the 38th anniver sary of the first episode of “Star Trek.” But episodes are free to anyone who can download them onto a computer, says Jack Marshall, an executive producer and series di rector of “New Voyages.” Filming — most of which takes place in up state New York — will be spaced throughout the year. The show is produced by Cow Creek Films, Marshall’s Maryland-based nonprofit corpo ration, which partners charity or ganizations with art projects. Cow Creek has produced fea tures such as the “Ddre To Dream Project,” a documentary of the re vitalization of a poor, failing com munity in the Washington, D.C., area. Cawley, who also is production designer, has spent many years and at least $100,000 collecting the original “Star Trek” set pieces, props and costumes that are being used on the show. In his day job, he plays Elvis at Six Flags Great Escape Splashwater Kingdom in upstate New York. John Kelley, an Oregon-based urologist who plays Bones McCoy and writes for the show, said episodes will challenge fans with interesting, thought-provoking storylines. Paramount Television, which owns the “Star Trek” franchise, didn’t have ^comment on the site, publicist Rachel Fox said.
