Original Toronto Star caption: Filth spoils a fantasy: Warren Shepell; a psy-chologist; suns himself on a log at Woodbine Beach and tries to pretend he's in the clean Caribbean to take his mind off the dead fish and garbage that litter the sand. But such fantasies are hard to sustain amid rotting fish. He tried swimming there last year; but never again.
