5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2018 Film: Crew is shooting movie at Flavel House Continued from Page 1A Not only is the Clatsop County Historical Society allowing the crew to use rooms inside the Flavel House, moving furniture around from room to room, a number of artifacts from the society’s collection are on loan as props, things like medical equipment and medicine bottles. It’s a big under- taking for a small staff to take on. “Our curator’s main mission is to catalogue and take care of our artifacts and this is certainly pushing the com- fort zone of a curator,” said McAn- drew Burns, executive director of the historical society. “It’s the biggest artifact we have,” added Sam Rascoe, the historical soci- ety’s director of marketing. “And it’s irreplaceable,” Burns said. “There were questions like ‘Can we paint the walls?’ Well, no, you can’t because these are the original colors … and the woodwork has never been touched.” But the historical society also oper- ates the Oregon Film Museum out of the historic Clatsop County Jail just next door to the Flavel House. So Burns and Rascoe love that not only is a film shooting in Oregon, it’s shoot- ing in Astoria, at one of the city’s most recognizable historic landmarks. “It would probably be easier for us not to participate,” Burns said. “Prob- ably it would be easier for them just to build a set, but, you know, it wouldn’t be real.” Moving day To accommodate the crew, museum staff and film crew will move furniture around — in the large music room on the ground floor almost everything, including a piano, will be shuffled around — stashing pieces that won’t be used as props around corners, in hallways, in other rooms, and even up in the tower. It’s some- what in keeping with history: the Fla- vels first moved into the house in April 1886. “So it’s moving day,” Burns said. “It’s just we’re interpreting moving day from 1886.” The Flavel House, in pristine con- Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian A member of a film production crew makes adjustments to the set in Astoria. dition and with its massive rooms, high ceilings and wide hallways, was an ideal workspace for a film crew. Oregon offers incentives for compa- nies that film in the state, including rebates for using Oregon-based goods and services, but producers of “The Mortuary Collection” have also cred- ited Rascoe with selling them on Asto- ria. Rascoe took location scouts and producers on a tour of the city, show- ing off a variety of potential locations, not just historical society properties. They now plan to film at spots across Astoria and Clatsop County. “One of the things we recognize is just like a visitor doesn’t come to town for one thing, a film company’s not going to come here just to film in the Flavel House,” Burns said. “And, you know, rising waters.” Ross said the company has looked around Clatsop County for some of its crew, even bringing in high school students to prepare sets. Calls have gone out locally for film crew candi- dates and even for old cars. One-of-a-kind Burns would not disclose how much the film company is paying the historical society for the use of the Flavel House and museum artifacts. “They are an independent produc- tion and they’re paying us appropri- ately,” he said. “Certainly enough that we are being closed to the public. If we were going to lose money for lost admission income, we wouldn’t do it. We’re a nonprofit, we can’t afford to do that.” The Flavel House was closed to visitors on Monday, marking the first time Burns can ever remember clos- ing the museum to the public for any reason other than weather. It opened Tuesday, but will be closed again for the next three days as filming contin- ues. A section of Eighth Street was also closed Monday to allow film crew to move around safely and get exterior shots, but will likely be open for most of the week as filming moves indoors. A museum staff member will be on site at all times to make sure the house is respected and the artifacts taken care of during filming. “As much as I’m saying things like that and it seems like we’re going to be tough guys, they’ve been very aware that they’re filming in a very precious, one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable artifact and a significant piece of local history,” Burns said. “They’ve fallen in love with Astoria, they’ve fallen in love with the house and so far they’ve shown a great deal of respect.” Housing: A closer look at accessory dwelling units Beach: Grass Continued from Page 1A In other business: • The City Council unani- mously approved a contract with Hampton Tree Farms for a tim- ber harvest on approximately 50 acres of the Bear Creek water- shed, the source of Astoria’s drinking water. Hampton was the only bid on the project. The commercial thinning and variable retention treatment will occur near the watershed’s north- eastern boundary during the sum- mer and after the primary bird breeding and nesting periods, said City Forester Ben Hayes. Part of the harvest involves the removal of Douglas fir stands impacted by Swiss needle cast, a fungus that attacks the crowns of the trees and stunts their growth. Wind-firm native hemlock and spruce will be left standing. The harvest is estimated to bring in a gross revenue $259,400. The costs of road improvements and replanting are expected to cut the final net revenue down to an estimated $199,500. Commercial thinning and other types of timber harvest occur regularly in the water- shed and are key to maintaining a healthy watershed, according to city staff. Astoria harvests less than 25 percent of the growth in the watershed. The money gained from the harvests goes to the city’s capital improvement fund and has helped pay for things like a new ladder truck for the Astoria Fire Department. Last year, Hayes oversaw a routine thinning of 52 acres near the watershed’s southwest- ern boundary that brought in $228,651 net revenue for the city.

Removal is not expected to affect endan- gered bird species. In January 2017, residents filled the Gear- hart Fire Station for a town hall meeting on an amendment permitting the removal of noxious weeds. The workshop led to the formation of the Dune Vegetation Committee, comprised of both permanent and part-time residents. The committee presented its findings to the City Council last summer. City coun- cilors agreed to consider recommendations from the committee after finding that city rules, written in 1994, failed to provide clear guidance. A decision to proceed with the amend- ments was endorsed by councilors last week. The written ordinance will likely be pre- sented in May, with a goal of passage by July, Sweet said.
