Park residents still angered by fireworks

ANAHEIM Patsy Krueger is literally sick of Disneyland's nightly firework " I got deathly sick over it '' she said. " I always slept with my window open." Krueger is one of about 80 resdents at the Anaheim Harbor RV Park who have complained about air and noise pollution from Disneyland's nightly fire- work shows. And they say Disney's response to their complaints isn't enough. Disneyland earlier this week sent claims assessors to the park to advise residents about what they would be paid or reimbursed for damage done to their vehicles by the fireworks. The park residents filed a petition two weeks ago saying the fireworks are a public nuisance because of debris that falls down and damages their vehicles. Although Disneyland stopped using 8-inch shells that pyrotechnicians determined to be the cause of the fallout, the RV park residents are less than satisfied with the response. Bob Izykowski, leader of the petition drive, said the fireworks must stop. He has debris ranging from 3 inches in diameter to about a 6- inch cardboard cylinder that he has picked up in the park and on neighboring Ball Road. Not only has ash collected on his vehicles, but large pieces of cardboard fall down every night. Izykowski said. "If someone throws a cigarette out of a car, they get in trouble," he said. "But it hasn't changed (because of the claims adjusters). It irritates me. Just because they're Disneyland, it doesn't give them the right to do this every night." Izykowski said wind during the 9:30 p.m. show blows the debris onto the top of his motorhome. "It's like burnt charcoal," he said. Kama Thulin has lived at the RV park for about two months and said when she arrived with her new truck, "It didn't have a mark on it. "The ash falls down like snow every night," she said. "The dew later on at night mixes with it and it creates a chemical reaction." Izykowski and Thulin said that they still find debris on their vehicles even though the eight-inch shells have been eliminated. "It's unbelievable," Thulin said. "It still comes down. We're subject to the wind here. I don't know what they think they've done but we want a continuous solution because it's going to be a continuous problem. "Look at the finish. It was pure as the driven snow," Thulin said as she pointed to her truck's paint. "This crap is falling down on it now and who knows what it's doing?"
