Prey animals are always on the lookout for their predators. If I were a tasty salmon, I would certainly keep well clear of the sounds of whale-watching boats.

Re: 鈥淟aurel Point gets $17-million cleanup,鈥� Sept. 22. Ten or 15 years from now, a similar headline will likely appear in the sa国际传媒. Except the location of this future cleanup will be Shawnigan Lake, and the cost will be double, at least.
