      Gift of sight: Mornine Poonah, 56, was blind in one eye, and had only 1 per cent vision in the other, before an operation last year by mississauga ophthalmologist Dr. Brian Newbigin. Now she has 25 per cent vision in one eye, which is improving steadily as she becomes accustomed to her glasses.

      Looking over Toronto's railway yards, Sanford Duplassie, 25, left White River in June when CP Rail laid off workers. There's a future here, he says. Only one of his friends has remained in the north. There's nothing there for the younger person. There's no industry. There's nothing. Over half the town is made up of pnsioners. His father is one of them. Sanford's 11 brothers and sisters are scattered across North America, from Texas to British Columbia.
