Kids can create own cartoons WATCHING SATURDAY morn- ing cartoons and reading comic books has- become a ritual for many children. But recCentre Lonsdale is offering children nine years of age and over the opportu- nity to be the creator, rather than the observer. Beginning April 10, novice car- toonists will refine their drawing techniques and create their own cartoon characters on paper under the guidance of instructor George Ashcroft. Ashcroft, who majored in animation and fine arts at the Emi- ly Carr College of Fine Arts, will also assist students in the produc- tion of their own claymation video shorts. Adults can join in the fun, too. George Foster will lead a class of adult beginners through comics, caricatures and animation beginn- ing April 21. Foster, a 10-year veteran of fine arts education specializing in car- toon graphics and computer animation, says: ‘‘Cartooning is fun, educational and entertaining, especially if you deal with children.’” To register for the cartooning courses call 987-PLAY or visit a branch of the North Vancouver Recreation Centre. Collins presides at WV ceremony CAPILANO-HOWE Sound MP Mary Collins will preside Saturday afternoon in West Vancouver over a@ graduation ceremony organized by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind (CGDB). The ceremony, which is sched- uled to take place at 3:30 p.m. in the theatre of West Vancouver Senior Secondary School, 1750 Mathers Ave., will recognize the successful matching of two guide dogs with their visually-impaired masters. CGDB saises funds to train guide dogs for blind people. It costs approximately $20,000 to train each dog. Recipients of the dogs pay a nominal $1 lease fee for the animals. Of the 56,000 blind people in Canada, 2,600 could odenefit from the use of a guide dog. But only 600 currently have guide dogs. Saturday’s ceremony is open to the public.
