Original Toronto Star caption: Roseanne Leonard, 47, a grandmother of nine, has fished the Rainy River since she was so young she had to be tied to her parents' boat. But she hasn't this year since cancer-causing dioxins turned up in fish samples taken by U.S. officials. Fellow fisherman Murray Bombay, 27, says, ''I'd like to get back into fishing but I won't if the fish isn't any good.''

      He wants money: Dr. Mario Piacenza of the southern Italian town of Altomonte is in Toronto lookin for funds to build a school for peasant children. He's hoping to get it from the parents of the children he's leading here - natives of Alomonte who left their home town for North America. So far, he's visited 7 cities on a 3-month North American tour but has raised only $2,000 of the $20,000 he needs. He's had a picnic with Altomonteans here and plans another one.
