Rod Allin making a name for hiris�lf Rod Allin, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Allin of RR No. 5 Goderich, is making a name for himself in the field of cinematography these days. The freelance cinematographer, who hail worked on location_ for the past six years. with the television series "Wild Kingdom", ex- plains that 'he spends at least nine"'months out of the year travelling. "I'm lucky if I spend three months at home," he notes. Home is now in Cache Creek, Jackson Hole, New York. The 44 -year -old Allin, who grew up in Banff,, Alberta, ex- plained that he got his start as a photographer after being a ski instructor for 14 years teaching at Banff, Quebec, Mt. Snow and New Zealand. "I got into skiing in Banff, and raced for awhile; and then started making ski films for Warren Miller., John Jay and Dick Barrymore," he said. In 1958 he won the men's slaloin in the New Zealand Chmpionahips where he alsp competed in the downhill event: That same year he appeared ;on the other side of the camera and filmed the FIS world championships at Badgastein, Austria. Although Allin spends most of his time now working for "Wild Kingdom," he still films the ski events that got him star- Wheat producersget cheques The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board issued statements this week concerning payments being made to wheat producers across the province. Board chairman, Fergus Young, R.R. 1, Ennismore, ad- vised that two different payments were being made. The first, he said, is a 10 cent per bushel Marketing Board rebate to producers on wheat they sold during the 1972 crop year. An explanation of that payment accompanies ,the cheque and states, "The 1972 crop wheat cheque from the marketing board is a rebate on the 16 cent per bushel stabilization levy paid by producers on wheat they sold during the crop year July ist/ I972 to June 30th, 1973." "Total producer sales for;the 1972 crop amounted tci 14,778,429 bushels. The:. board purchased and sold 6.2 million bushels 'of that total. Money left for rebate after marketing costs were paid amounted to 10 cents per bushel. This rebate closes out the 1972 crop stabilization account of ' the marketing board. • The cheques to some 17,000 producers were Mailed during the past week, according to the board chairman. The second payment, Mr: - Young said, involves the 1973 crop and is an interim payment of 50 cents per bushel "for wheat sold by producers during the three month period between July 1, 1973 and September 30th, 1973". An acco'rnpanying ' ex- planation with that payment further states, "The - interim payment at 50 cents per bushel applies to all wheat sold during the three' month period on which the initial payment of $1.51 per - bushel had- been paid." "Final payment amount which is not known at this time will .be made after the 1973 crop year end June 30th, 1974." The interim payment cheques to those producers involved are expected to be mailed this week. Mr. Young further advised that necessary records*, have been forwarded by the marketing board to the federal government for its, use . in making up cheques' for the two price subsidy payment to be made ‘by, the federal govern, ment to Ontario wheat producers for wheat they sold during'the 1971-72 and 1972-73 crop years. - Mr. Young said- that it is hoped the fede'al government would be making an announ- cement concerning the two price payment in the near future. . ted on his "second career. In 1962 he covered the FIS Cham- pionships at Chamonix, and in 1970 at Val Gardena. Allin also worked as a ski action photographer for the Jean- Claude Killytelevision series four years ago and as cameraman for the film "Ski on the Wild Side." 2'I- got tenni elbow from carrying the camera while skiing," he laughed, "so I switched it to the other arm. Then I had tennis elbow in both arms." Allin's association with "Wild .Kingdom" resulted from a chance encounter in the bank', in Jackson in 1967. He ex- plained, "I'd been out here in '67 to film -the Wild West Classic and fell in love with it. I sold the ski lodge I'd had in Vermont and moved , here. "While I was in the bank the,. man asked me what I did for a living and I told him I.was a movie cameraman. Ha said that 'Wild Kingdom' was shooting here, so I went out to talk to them, and ended up being an animal handler. That lasted for a couple of months, and then I started filming." In the course of a career that keeps him cris-crossing the globe, Allin recounted some of the places' he' d been in the past three years - Africa, to film rhinos and lions; the Australian Outback and the Great Barrier Reef for a land and an underseas assignment; ,and closer to home in Idaho for a project on cougars aid in Minnesota for a 'show on wolves and moose. For another project on wolves, the feature length movie " 3rbther of the Wind," Allin was director of photography; His more recent assignments, have taken him to Peru to film the vicuna, an animal similar tg a llama and to the Galapagos Islands, where Charles Darwin carried out his investigations of the origkt of species; One of the most in- teresting of his assignments was filming harp , seals, so called because of the white shape on their backs; under the ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. "They, come up and bump you," he said. "I've ,had a lot of close calls during my life," Allin chuckled, "five in the past two years. "The last one was coming back from Melville Island& 900 miles from the Arctic Circle, where' we'd been doing a show • on the musk ox. The plane started to ice up, and we were over the water without any pontoons. The pilot tried flying at different altitudes to try to find warmer air, and we finally ended up flying about 15 or 20 feet above the water where it was warm enough to melt the ice," he recounted. There have been some close calls with animals, too, Allin explained, but "Wild Kingdom" doesn't like that to be made public. "mostly we work from the back of a truck with the wild animals," he said, "or we use a blind. After a few days the animals get used to the blind and don't even notice we're there." For underwater work he has• constructed a special water- proof case for his movie camera, an Aeroflex, with which he uses a 650)mm. lens so aa -not to intrude upon the animals whose habits he is filming.' For still photography, which is a hobby, he has an If you'arekoking for: ow • FARROWING PENS • COW TIE & FREE STALLS • SOW TIE STALLS • WATER BOWLS • FINISHING PENS • LIXIP PIG NIPPLES • ALL TYPES OF FEEDERS Henry G Barn Plumbing & Equipment 4 8'2-9 5 $ $ Distributor for HYDE PARK Farm Supply Contact underwa er- case b camera an be.
