He’s really ready
to go out fishing

By SINA QUEYRAS
Herald Staff Writer

After close'to seven years
of work, Jim Allen of
Terrace launched his boat
“First Try” Saturday in
Kitimat.

“The boat started out as a
pleasure boat,” said Allen,
“but later on I realized I
would need money, so I
made a few adjustments and
built it as a. halibut
schooner.”

The hull of the boat was
made with eight layers of
cement and chicken wire,
and rebar vertically and
horizontally every four in-

The boat has a 120-
horsepower motor and is
capable of doing up to nine’
knots. Eventually it will
have two masts for sailing.
Allen had a lot of help
building it from friends and

- especially his three sons

Jim, Fran, and John, who
will be his crew on the boat.
Allen is by no means an
experienced sailor. He said
he knows nothing about
navigation and. very little
about fishing. He plans to
learn as he goes along,

Allen recently quit his job
to become a full-time
fisherman, he said he had

quite a bit of trouble getting —

a license. It took him a year
and a half to get the license,
with two trips te Vancouver
to haggle with the federal

_fisherles department.

“The fisheries are con-
stantly changing
regulations,’ said Allen.
After — “months of

corresponding with fisheries
and letters to the govern-
ment, Allen got bis license,
however. -

. He wanted an “yy license
and found that they:had been
banned, The ‘“C” license,

which he had already had °
was only geod for crab and ,

ground fish. Allen said he
needed the halibut licence to
make enough money.

“We have had nothing but .
“First .

trouble,” said Allen.
with the fisheries, then
moving the boat, and then
the accident at the laun-
ching. ”

vWle ‘the boat was being
hauled: from ‘his backyard
where it was made, the
driver pulling the boat

almost hit a house and a

garage.
“He only had a couple of
inches to spare,” said Allen,

“there is only 20 feet bet-

ween the building.” .

On Saturday while the boat
was being launched, a cable
that was being used to hold
the boat broke. and the
massive craft weighing 25
tons smashed down. The
accident set Allen back
about two weeks, damaging
the keel of the boat. .

Allen is hoping to get
things’ under way quickly
and get te work fishing so
that can start to get some
output from the $100,000
boat.

“We are hoping io use the
boat for pleasure svon,’’ says
Allen, who would like to do
some long-distance sailing.
- “That was what we in-
tended to do in the first
place.”

He just keeps —
marching ahead

ATLANTA (AP) — Ted
Turner, sitting behind his
desk, turns his eyes away
and his voice cracks ever so
slightly as he explains how
he took over his father's
business at age 24.

“It's hard to describe
exactly how I felt because
my father and I were ex-
tremely close.

“T decided to throw myself
Into my work and get what
happened out of my mind.”

He says nothing more of
his father’s suicide and it is
nearly 30 silent seconds
before his eyes return to his
visitor.

Now, at 41, the handsome
millioaire with the straight-
line moustache, the straight-
line teeth, the straight-line

eyes and the straight-line.

approach keeps marching
straight ahead. The motto on
his desk, facing his visitors,
reads: “Lead, follow, or get
out of the way.”

Once, with a short lead in
an ocean sailing race, a tig
and barge with a long, taut
cable crossed between his
yacht and he finishing buoy.
The crew urged him to turn
away, risking the lead to
save the boar from being
damasted. Ted Turner hel
course. It was the tug that
slowed and Turner won the
race.

Once he said, “If] only had
a little humility; I'd be
perfect.”

There are many other Ted
Turner images. There is the
brash heretic challenging
the elite sailing establish-
ment. There is the tobacco-
chewing, beer-drinking
baseball owner pretending to
be dead on the dugout roof
while his team plays dead on
the field, There is. the
devoted father of five, taking
his children sailing or for a
walk in the woods, There is
the Intimidator who tries to
keep strangers off balance.
There is the adored husband,
the macho male, the
respected, even loved, boss,
the man with apenchant for
saylng shocking things.

But the excuse for all of
this is Ted Turner the doer.
He took his father’s faltering
venture into billboards and
reacued jt. He branched Into
