FEATURED CATCH Well Ain’t That Just Swell NEWPORT BEACH— Davey’s Locker Sportfishing in Newport had a cool find last month when they pulled up a swell shark while out on a nighttime fishing trip. “This little guy is called a ‘swell shark’,” said a June 16 Facebook post from Davey’s Locker Sportfishing. “If threatened, the shark has an unusual response… it can actually bend its body into a ‘U’ shape, grab its own tail in its mouth, and it can swallow a large quantity of sea water, which makes it swell to twice its normal size. This behavior makes it difficult for a predator to bite or pull out a swell shark from its rocky crevice.” The sharks can reach up to three feet and are found throughout California along the coast of Chile. They are identified by their brown blotches and white spots, which are scattered across their yellow-brown body. The sharks spend their days hiding out in rocky crevices and come out at night to hunt for fish and crustaceans.

“Surfboard interests desire a modification of the proposed plan to preserve surf riding off Dana Point,” said the report. “It is considered, however, that modification of the project for this purpose is not economically justified.” According to the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, from 1967, the project was adopted by the 1962 River and Harbor Act and was approved in Feb. 1966 with modifications. The same report says the east and west breakwater construction was initiated in July 1966, and the project was scheduled for completion in Dec. 1968. By July of 1966, the breakwater was about 49 percent complete, and the engineers had already spent $2,148,899 on the project. The surfing community lost the battle for “Killer Dana” in favor of the financial benefits of a harbor. When the first boulders were dropped,

tainment as well as a movie screen. With 1,122 seats in the vintage theater, there is a lot of space for visitors and locals to enjoy the screenings. Movies start with a pre-show at 7 p.m., which offers classic cartoons, vintage film clips from Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, and Universal News Reels meant to give the audience a classic movie-going experience that fits the décor, and then the main showing starts at 8 p.m. Snacks and refreshments are available in the lobby, and wine and beer are available for viewers over 21. Alfvin hopes to bring back the same movie-going joy he felt as a child walking into the Avalon Theater. “I just have really fond memories of seeing movies and being swept away by what felt like stepping back in time and being a part of something special,” said Alfvin. “There is just a magical feeling in the air when you step inside the Avalon
there were spectators along the shore, including local surfers who were lamenting the loss of spot. “When the first of many boulders was dropped in 1966, spectators stood on the shore and clapped, marveling at the sight and excited for the future economic boost,” said Jeremy Evans in The Battle for Paradise. “Killer Dana’s surfers were also there that day, powerless to stop what they considered to be nothing more than aquatic rape. They were saddened and stunned as the boulders were dropped into the cove, which had been the setting for some of their greatest surfing memories and was, to some, their second home. For others, it was their only home.” On the same day, there was a time capsule containing engineering plans, historical documents, photos, and other mementos embedded in an 8-ton rock and opened 50 years later on Aug. 29, 2016. The harbor opened on Aug. 1, 1971, and now has a slip capacity of more than 2,500 boats and more than 50 specialty shops and restaurants.
Theater. Something sticks with you, and you remember it, and people will come back over and over again just for the opportunity to see a film in such a historic venue.” For more information, see https:// www.theavalontheatre.com/.
