📰 News we're reading
• Killing of Catalina Island deer will go forward despite last-minute appeals (charlotteobserver.com) — A major wildlife and fire-safety decision affecting Avalon is moving ahead as a judge tentatively refused to pause Catalina Island Conservancy's long-term plan to kill all mule deer. Supporters say removal protects native species and reduces grass-fueled fires, while county officials warn it could increase chaparral fuel and wildfire danger near Avalon's homes. A final court ruling on the injunction is expected within 90 days. 
• Bacteria Warnings in Effect at 10 LA County Beaches (mynewsla.com) — If you're planning to swim at Avalon Beach, be aware that county health officials have issued bacteria warnings for the area west of the Green Pleasure Pier, advising people to avoid entering the water. The alert is part of a broader advisory covering 10 Los Angeles County beaches after tests showed elevated bacteria levels that could increase illness risk. Updated maps and details are available from the county.
