Valdy may have come a long way from the days when
he began performing just to feed himself but, despite
success, his music hasn't changed.

“I don't live with a jock strap and a Bowie knife like I
did in the granola days,” he said. “I've got a dishwasher
and a Porsche now.

“It’s folk music,” he said. “And I try to keep it folk
music myself.”

In an interview with the Castlegar News Monday
night at Red Mountain ski lodge in Rossland, Valdy said
his values have remained the same and he tries to reflect
that in his music.

“A lot of people are calling my music pop or country
rock,” said Valdy (he was nominated last year for a Juno
in the best country male vocalist category). “People are
really considering me something different.”

Valdy spends much of his time on the road, Last year
he performed 230 “one nighters,” leaving him only three
months at home.

“You pretty much concentrate all your energy on
tours,” he said. “The road is work time. There's so few
days spent at home, chores to do, a loving relationship to
nurture, so it doesn’t lend itself to work.

“Home is home. Although in, show business there's
no differentiation between the two.”

Nonetheless, show business has given Valdy its
share of hardships as well as rewards.

“I left my first wife and then my second wife left
me,” he laughs. Valdy married again last August and,
after only a short time at home, it was back to his busy
schedule.

A new record is in the works and, at the end of the
month, he will be playing with the Victoria symphony
orchestra.

“That kind of thing is different,” he said. “It's very
formal. I have to have all the songs arranged.

“Any kind of challenge is good for the human spirit,”
he said. Next month Valdy will spend two weeks playing
concerts in the Northwest Territories as part of a
promotion for the Canadian Native Arts Foundation.
After that, he leaves for the Soviet Union, accompanied

language and a mime, “to do the link between the acts.

“I'm a believer in peace and that's between people,”
he said. “Ultimately, it has to be signed between
administrations but it has to start with people.

“We can go over there and music is a real common
denominator,” he said. “We want as much non-verbal
communication as we can get into it.

“We're going to give the Russians an earful.”

Not only is Valdy concerned with world peace, he
also takes a keen interest in Rick Hansen. Monday night's

individual doing for other disabled individ-

stamina and fortitude . . . and just about all the other
superlatives I can think of.

“We can be the best that we are,” he said. “I think
that’s the ticket.

“I rather like that fundraising comes from
individuals. It becomes more noticeable and probably
gets a bigger purse than if it was a government
fundraiser.”

But Valdy wasn’t always the big name musician that
could draw attention to a cause. Born in Ottawa as
Valdemar Horsdal 41 years ago, Valdy originally set out
to be an architect.

“] learned how to play guitar and drink beer in
university and that was the end of my formal education.”

In 1964, Valdy set out to hitchhike to the Peace River
country.

“| got as far as Winnipeg and ran out of money.” he

in Rossland. Valdy leaves for a tour of the Soviet
Union later this year.

said. “There, I bought a 12-string guitar and started
playing in clubs and that’s when I became an entertainer.

“Tt was “quite by accident,” he said.

Since then, Valdy has played with Sheri Ulrich in the
Hometown Band, then later peaked in popularity in the
early 1970s with such hit songs as Rock and Roll Song and
Yes I Can. He has had four gold albums and won two Juno
awards.

Now, finally established as one of Canada’s best
known male vocalists, Valdy has become so recognizable
he’s appeared as a guest panelist on Front Page
Challenge.

“At the end of the show, just as I was leaving,
(columnist and author) Allan Fotheringham kind of winks
and says, ‘You are now part-of the Canadian Institution.”

Between tours, Valdy lives with his wife on
Saltspring Island and occasionally goes to a small bar in
Maple Bay near Duncan where he tries out his new tunes.

“I treat Vancouver Island a little differently then
everywhere else,” he said. “The accessibility of an
audiénce for new material seems to be greater.

“I know people have a hard time playing their own
music in most bars across the country. Concerts are
different of course, but in the bar situation, they want to
hear top 40.”

Nonetheless, in Valdy's very first performance in
Rossland, he tried out four new songs on the capacity
crowd and, if the way he was mobbed for autographs
after the show is any barometer, they must have loved
them.

Valdy has an album, tentatively titled Benchmark for
Craziness, in the works.

Art Townsend received the Priory of Thanks which
includes the signature of Gov. Gen. Jeanne Sauve, from
Dave Dudley, chairman of St. John Ambulance for
Castlegar.

“The award is given for outstanding dedication in the
field of bettering people through St. John Ambulance,”

Nakusp areas,” said Townsend.

He added that he spent part of 1983 and 1984
travelling throughout B.C. teaching people industrial
first aid and said he has noticed “a definite increase” in
the number of people who are learning about industrial
first aid.

Dudley said people who are trained in first aid have
fewer accidents “even at the home level” because they
know what accidents can occur in certain situations.

In related news, the board
agreed to ask Premier Bill
Vander -Zalm to re-evaluate
past of reducing
staff and closing government
offices.

Masuch said the reduction
in staff at the Ministry of
Forests office in Creston has
“severely deteriorated the
availability of service.”

KAMLOOPS (CP) — John
Turner's celebrated friendly
bum-patting notwithstand-
ing, it is sexual assault to
touch a woman's behind
without her consent, a pro-
vincial court judge ruled
Tuesday.

Judge Bill Blair found
pharmacist Raymond Gag-
non, 35, of nearby Logan
Lake guilty on one count of
sexual assault but not guilty
on a second count, saying the
offence was not sufficiently
proved.

Gagnon will be sentenced
Feb. 18.

Defence lawyer Phil Maher
had argued that if touching a
woman's behind is sexual as-
sault, then Turner, the fed-
eral Liberal leader, could
have been found guilty of the
offence during the 1984 elec-
tion campaign.

When Turner patted then-
party president Iona Cam-
pagnolo’s behind during the
campaign, she at least spoke
out about the incident, Maher
said, but the two teenaged
girls who said Gagnon touch-
ed their buttocks as they
worked in his store, didn't
say anything to Gagnon.

The two girls did not ex-
press “any grave concern or
outrage about the circum-
stances,” Maher said.
