"A Family Tradition for 130 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 28, 1996 - 13 BIA negotiating with film maker From Page 1 to affected merchants for shooting during regular business hours. In an interview Friday Mrs. Mitchell said it's not the intention of the BIA to chase film makers out of town; the point is to compensate merchants for the loss of business brought about by street closures and traffic dis- ruptions. "It (filming) shouldn't be at the expense of busi- nesses," said Mrs. Mitchell. "They shouldn't subsidize the film indus- try, which is what has happened in the past." Port's merchants were caught unaware by the sudden film boom. Suddenly movie makers knew about the pic- turesque main street and surrounding country side, and were descending upon Port with regularity, sometimes occupying the town for days. Merchants were soon grumbling that they were virtually shut down by the process, and received no compensation for the loss of business. That's why the BIA, after surveying other municipalities in "Hollywood North", drew up a preliminary filming olicy. It calls for a fee of $5,000 to be paid to the BIA, and shooting fees for individual businesses. In addition, film compa- nies would be required to put down a $5,000 deposit to ensure they fulfilled other obligations in any agreement. Mrs. Mitchell said last week that's the frame- work within which the BIA is working as it nego- B-ball camp in Oshawa Gold Medal Basketball Camp is pleased to an- nounce its third annual and first basketball camp in Oshawa.

She said Port is a "desirable" location for film companies, and there's no reason why res- 1idents shouldn't capital- ize on that fact. "This (downtown) has been created by business people," she said. "Why shouldn't they benefit from the film industry, or at least not suffer from it?"
