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
