It is estimated that the cost of re-building the road to suitable standards would be in the neighbourhood of $30,000 per mile. Just how bad is the road?

North is okay, but that far? ~ When they say "up north", they're not kidding. Twenty Port Perry High School Canadian Studies students will be heading up to the Arctic sometime next spring on an exchange with Inuit families living in a tiny settlement named Clyde River. The lucky teenagers will be chosen from seven classes of Canadian Studies students at the Grade 10 level, and will be billeted to Inuit homes in Clyde River, on the East coast of Baffin Island in the Northwest Territories. In return, a group of Inuit students will be billeted to homes in the Port Perry area. Although fundraising for the trip won't officially begin until late October, teacher Keith Jones is already planning to raffle off an $800 Inuit carving. He is also looking for support from the community for what will surely be an expensive trip.

And he'll be doing just that for the Port Perry Star. the 42-year old comm- ercial artist will be drawing cartoons for the Star's editorial page. In fact, his first submission appeared in the September 18 issue of this paper. Unlike some cartoon- ists whose creations can be downright nasty, Mr. Platten says his style is to poke fun by under- stated parody, subtle and above all else with a human approach. "I don't like rude cartoons,"" he says flatly. His cai..ons for the Star will have a local flavour to them through the use of street-signs, local land. marks, polit- icians and individuals in the community. Mr. Platten recently moved to Cadmus, east of Blackstock, with his wife and two young children. He is setting up a commercial studio for his company known as Toad Hall Creative Workshops. After living a hectic life in the Los Angelos area for the last couple of years, he says the relative peace, quiet and easy going pace of rural Ontario is some- thing he greatly enjoys. Mr. Platten received his formal training as a commercial artist in his native England and over the years has worked as a designer for pavilions at Expo 67; for the Craven Foundation restoring old cars; and had a hand in the design and construction of the well known Carlsberg beer wagon. While living in the States, he worked on story-board illustrations for films, drawings for car and motorcycle magazines, and designs for Expo 84 in New Orleans. His interest in car- tooning goes back several years when he was hving near Tweed, Ontario. "Every New Years Eve, I would come up with an idea for a new career for the year", he says with a smile. And one year it was car- toons. He began submitting cartoons to the local weekly newspaper in the area, and continued for the next four years before deciding to move to the States. Cartooning, of course, is just a small sideline for this commercial artist, something he enjoys doing. He is also doing design and illustration work for well known Blackstock sculpter Bill Lishman, including a large serpent which will be on display at Expo 86 in Vancouver. The management of the Port Perry Star are delighted that Mr. Platten will be drawing cartoons for the editor- ial page of this paper, and are confident that Star readers will enjoy his creations. The work of cartoonist and artist Carl Platten will be a regular feature on the Port Perry's Star editorial page. Mr. Platten's Carl pokes fun with his cartoons drawings will have a distinctive local flavour based on issues and events in Scugog Township. (See story for details) a ug e o
