AND (AP) — When (he producers of a tele vision movie about (he World Trade Center bomb ing needed a stand-in for New Yori Qly. they chose a city better known for its burgeoning film indus try than its resemblance to the Big Apple Film and television productions pumped Sfil mil lion into Oregon's economy in 1992. said David Woo Ison, exes ulive dins tor of the Ortigon Film and Video Office, which promotes the state as a loca tion for feature films, television programs and com mercials Wilshire Court Productions chose Portland for "We've got a reputation of being a community that works well with the movie industry, and that's been our best PR.” said Lynn Wallace, the execu tive dire* tor of the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce. That reputation has translated to economic ben efits for the community. In addition to the money actually spent by pro duction crews, the area's exposure on film stimu lates its tourist industry. "Our film industry has created another attraction in our tourism industry," Wallace said. Without Warning Terror in the Towers because I buy knew I hey could shoot the movie in a hur ry hen!, said Karen Runk el. a project manager for the film office. The Hol lywood production com pany previously had shot 13 other television films in the city. The movie will be broadcast on NHC May ‘Part of the appeal Is the diver sity of locations, from the deserts to the sea and every thing In between — David Woolson, executive director of the Oregon Film and Video Office Visitors most often ask about Kindergarten Cop. but Wallace said some tourists still inquire about the loca tion of scenes from Goonies and Short Cir cuit, which were released nearly 10 years ago. A pool of technical and acting talent has helped the state's film 26, just three month!! after the ret) 26 bombing and in lime lor the crucial May sweeps rating period. ''They had a crew they could pull together here quickly." Kunkel said So the crew imported noise and garbage and trans formed pads of ( lean, orderly Portland into chaot ic. |>osi homhtng lower Manhattan Set builders con structed a replica of the bomb crater in a warehouse, and creative camera work makes some of the city's buildings look more like New York. The weather cooperated by hiding Mount St. Helens and Mount flood, the snowcapped peaks that overlook the c ity, in clouds Although Woolson and Kunkel agree that Hi*J2 was probably a high-water year for the industry, they are confident that producers will keep coming lx‘( ause of (lie slate's diverse scenery and tec fini cal and acting talent. "Part of the appeal is the diversity of locations, from the deserts to the sea and everything in between," Woolson said. The historic coastal town of Astoria has been the setting of several movies, including the Arnold Schwarzenegger hit comedy Kindergarten Cop. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and Free Willy. industry grow as well, vvooison said. Megann Ratzow. who owns LAM Ratzow Casting in Portland, cast more than 50 local actors for Ter ror In The Towers. She said the local talent makes the stale an ideal place for high-pressure projects "A lot of people think of Portland as podunk nowhere, they think they have to bring in their crews and their actors, but we’ve got everything up here." she said. Ratzow is a former agent and assistant casting direr tor who fled Los Angeles for a liettur quality of life Runkel said commercials were shot in Oregon for years liefore the recent burst of feature films put a spotlight on the film industry. Kven more commercial producers have been drawn to the Oregon locations by big-screen por trayals of the state's spectacular scenery. "Seeing Oregon images on the screen so often from the past few years has fed the demand. The Columbia Gorge and the (.oust, those images are so dramatic." Runkel said. Hut when Portland roaches what may lie its largest national television audience May 26, viewers will think it's New York. Students defeat anti-gay proposal HKKMKRTON, Wash (API — ()jx*iily gay teens ore welcome on Bremerton High School's student t ouncil after pupils Wednesday rejected a proposer! amendment to the school's constitution that would have let studenLs oust their homosexual |>eers from the elect ed body. The measure, which identified homosexuality as an "immoral liehavior" akin to index ent expo sure and sexual harassment, was voted down 635-475, said Prin cipal Mari lee Hansen. ‘Tm delighted it's not going to he added to the constitution." Hansen said "But I'm a little tak en aback by the number of stu dents who have this (anti-gay) feeling. We have a lot of educat ing to do." Hie pro|>osal was passed -t‘l-47 last week at the school's annual constitutional convention, where changes are made to school rules. Supporters said it was merely intended to prolong debate at the convention, but it polarized the student body and attracted national attention. The anti-gay measure would have made it jxissible for students discovered practicing "immoral behavior" to be impeached from elected office by their peers on the council "in order to preserve the integrity and high moral stan dards that BUS is built upon." Immoral behavior, according to the amendment, includes sexual harassment, indecent exposure, sodomy and homosexuality Hansen said it was unlikely the rule would hat e ever gone into effect, even if students passed it Administrators tan override con stitutional amendments and seemed to be against this one, she said The two-hour debate that pre ceded lust week's convention vote was made spicier when a senior stood up and told delegates that he was gay. "Someone in the meeting said, 'Nobody gay would ever stand up and say they were gay because they know it is wrong,'" Todd McCauley. 19, told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer "1 had to speak up 1 told them what I do in my bedroom is none of their business. I'm here for an education." The final outcome Wednesday followed a complicated, school wide voting procedure that last ed three days. After the congressional vote last week, the matter was sent to home rooms on Monday Thirty six home rooms rejected the pro posal and IH supported it, Hansen said Apparently, a majority of stu dents shared the opinion of stu dent council president-elect J.J. Hewitt. 17. who said he found the proposal "disastrous" for the school's image UNIVtlSOT Of ORK.ON fH I\o*» A DEGREE A DEGREE COOLER. FRAME DURING DIPLOMA DAYS SAVE 20%.
