It's working, usually alone for months, years, in a basement or bedroom with a modest tape deck, pen and paper, and a guitar or a piano. Only the most dedicated musicians have the self-discipline to put off the ego stroke of playing before a live audience the universal rock 'n’ roll dream — for woodshedding. Bryan Adams is dedicated The wiry blond from North Vancouver is one of the best songwriters in pop today, and he’s also considered one of the most exciting rockers to blow the doors off a stadium in years. But at age 17, with his mother's support, Adams dropped out of Grade 12, quit playing the Vancouver bar scene and bought a piano. “Once I got serious about it, I decided I was going to dedicate myself to being a writer,” Adams said in a telephone interview before a recent concert in Greensboro, N.C. “For two years, I spent hiding in a basement, just banging away for hours and hours . . . and hours.” ‘And in the last decade, Adams has become one of the most successful musicians in Canadian history. “He’s also one of the world’s most popular rockers: he topped the bill at the Prince's Trust concert in London on June 5, and he's twice sold out New York's Madison Square Garden — rock's proving ground. MARKS FIRST His Reckless album in 1985 sold more than seven million copies worldwide, including more than one million in Canada, making him the first Canadian to achieve that feat in his own country. Before his woodshedding period, Adams played in the popular Vancouver band Sweeney Todd, but the most significant event of his career was, at the age of 18, meeting Jim Vallance in a Vancouver music store. Vallance was a proven writer, having recorded with Prism under the name of Rodney Higgs. But he left the band in 1977. He was looking for a singer to perform his material when he ran into Adams. “I always fancied a songwriting team,” said Adams. “I always recognized that I was a better songwriter with someone else.” In the first year of their collaboration, Adams and Vallance wrote hundreds of songs, including Straight From the Heart, which became a hit in 1983, as well as jingles for Labatt's beer and Thrifty’s jean stores. Canadian groups such as Loverboy and Prism recorded their songs, and word of their writing prowess spread. READY TO SING But after about three years of writing, Adams felt he was ready to sing. Brian Chater, who ran the publishing arm of A and M Records, signed him to the company’s songwriting division for $1 “I was an unknown,” as a singer, Adams explained ‘It was a way of getting my foot in the door - and it worked.” After releasing his self titled debut album in 1980, Adams set out on the road and htat’s prtty well where he’s been ever since. He stayed on the road for 285 days during the Reckless tour and he'll spend a like number of days for the tour to promote Into the Fire. Adams said the increased dynamics on Into the Fire ‘comes strictly from touring.” “Some of those songs on the record fill the gaps in the show hwich Ithink are necessary. I just wanted to have more highs and lows and it’s done the job. “The best part of the whole Adams package is seeing me live. That's where it will all tie in. The way these new songs blend in with the old songs is thrilling. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to playing every night to sing all these songs ” Difficult time to be a child OSHKOSH, WISH. (AP) — These are difficult times to be a child, says Robert Kee- shan, better known as Cap tain Kangaroo. “In my day it was OK to enjoy childhood, to believe in Santa Claus and to bask in the sun,” Keeshan told the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups. “Today we stage a full force attack against cre ativity in childhood.” Keeshan, who played the cheerful captain for 32 years, said children spend hours each day being influenced by television, but that TV pro gramming practices commer cial exploitation of children “Rambo and the Transfor. mers did not start in a cre ative studio setting, but they began on a toy shelf,” he said. “They are all part of a mar keting plan to sell, not to nurture children.” DIABETIC DISCUSSION . . .

Herman Engberink of ficiating. Cremation followed and a memorial service and burial will take place July 31, 1987 at Spirit River, Alberta. Mr. Perra was born June 15, 1904 at Montmartre, Sask. He was raised in Sas. katchewan and for over 30 years was a farm implement dealer in northern Alberta. In addition to his implement business, he operated a num ber of other small businesses. In 1963 he retired from business and moved to Ed monton where he resided, until coming to Castlegar in 1972. He was a member of St. Rita's Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, found- ing chairman of St. Mary's at 83 Separate School, a position he held for 15 years in Spirit River, Alberta. During his lifetime he always took an active role in community af- fairs. Besides his wife, Mr. Perra is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, Leonel and Carol of Winlaw, Manny and Maxine of Montreal, and Romeo and Annette of Mc. Lennan, Alberta; daughter and son-in-law Solange and Ernie Newbold of Duncan; 11 grandchildren; six brothers, Benoit of Hope, Louis of Ver- non, Victor of Canoe, Mad- gella of Christopher Lake, Sask., Antonio of Donnelly, Alberta, Alphonse of Grand Prairie, Alberta; three sis- ters, Priscilla McClinton of McBride, Bernadette Mit- chell of Grand Prairie, and Nathalie Roy of Spirit River, Alberta.

Hnatyshn noted that a royal commission, headed by Judge Omer Archambault of Saskatchewan, has already recommended reforms to tighten sentencing and par- ole for violent criminals. NEW INDUSTRY? In Victoria, Premier Bill Vander Zalm also expressed the hope that more approp- riate punishments can be found for dangerous offen. ders. He raised the possibil- ity of a penal colony — adding that it should be on the East Coast, not the West Coast. The Commons vote against restoration of the death pen alty won praise from civil lib- ertarians and_prisoner-aid groups. Organizations represent- lice, expressed disappoint- ment but said he doesn’t ex- pect much ‘moaning and groaning” from police. The 21-vote margin against the death penalty surprised even MPs who had lobbied hard against reinstatement. All 30 New Democrats in the House opposed capital punishment as expected, and so did 39 of 40 Liberals. The Liberal exception was George Baker of Newfound- lahd. Among Conservatives, 125 voted for restoration, in- cluding 14 cabinet ministers and an overwhelming ma- jority of backbenchers from Ontario and the West. But fewer than a dozen Quebec Tories supported the move,. while 48 — including prime Minister Brian- Mulroney — were opposed. pstairs in Trail’s Towne Square Diabetic talk held at hospital By CasNews Staff More than 30 people at- tended a “diabetic discus- sion” Monday afternoon at the Castlegar and District Hospital. cise and Diabetes.” The discussions e was the second in an ongoing ser- ies.
