Sue Doyle DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -The city's alter ego showed itself Tuesday as thousands flocked to the Balboa Peninsula to celebrate, transfonning the normally peaceful seaside town into a gigantic fraternity party. Bare-chested men and bikini-cl4(1 women poured into the streets and roamed from house to house on a nev- er-ending quest for the perfect party. Costa Mesa resident Chad Fassler stood Witt} friends on the porch of one home, deciding who would pass inspection and be allowed to. enter their party. •Tue blonder their hair, the tanner their skin and the bluer their eyes,· Fassler said. •lbat's how we decide who gets in." Despite the huge crowds, there were no reports of the lawless behav- ior that has tainted past celebrations. Newport Beach reported a decline in arrests made over the holiday weekend when compared to previous years. Authorities made approximate- ly 75 arrests Friday through Monday and about 50 more Tuesday, mainly alcohol-related. •There's been a lot of people, but Block party Bl,AST Families of Costa Mesa neighborhood have made Fourth of July block party an annual tradition Sue Doyle DAILY Pit.OT .

From turtle races ro balloon tosses, the annual party mainly involves the neighbor- hood children. But it also gives adults a chance to be a kid again, as many marched in their own neighborhood parade. They even elected their own grand marshal. 1b1s year the honorees were John and Judy 'laylor, who rolled down the street in a red-and-white car decorated with streamers. A cluster of grills sizzled with hot dogs, hamburgers and steaks in front of the home of Ron and Carol Raya. The couple bas always hosted the party, which usually spreads to the lawns of other neighbors later in the evening.

Sue Doyle DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -Although thousands of people celebrated the Fourth of July by buzzing around town from one event to another Tuesday; overall there were fewer problems than anticipated. Officials chalked up the low ind- dent rate to the four-day weekend, which extended the celebration instead of compressing it into a single · day.

What many people fail to realize is that pet owners need to be just as careful about their companion ani- mal's health in warm weather as they would about their children's or their own. The biggest mistake a pet owner can make is to leave an animal in a car during the summer months, safd Made- line Bernstein, president of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles. A car parked in 70-degree weather with the windows rolled up can rea·ch an inter- nal temperature of nearly 100 degrees, she said. •People' should leave their pets at home and not in cars,· Bernstein said. "Pets and children don't do well in bot cars; they're much more com- fortable at home.• Summer trips to the beach may seem like an ideal time to take the family dog out for exercise and quality time near the water. However, the seashore sometimes holds dangers for animals that would not ordi- narily present problems for most people. Bernstein said dogs should not accompany their families to the beach unless there is plenty of shade and fresh water. Sand during the sum- mer becomes very hot and can burn a dog's foot pa(ls, he said. "lf you can't get from your blanket to your car without shoes, then your dog can't either,• Bernstein said. Jackie David, spokesper- son for Los Angeles Animal Services, said it is better to simply leave pets at home 1'"1 not worried, my agent Is C,.111 Brown lnaur1nce Call today for aulo & home owner's Insurance! (949) 760-1255 Fashion Island New rt Beach • Uc* 0550 Jamise Johnson REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK when it comes to beach trips. The family barbecue is another summer ritual in which dogs and cats should not be included, 'said Bern- stein. Besides the danger of bone fragments getting caught in a pet's throat or puncturing the stomach lin- ing, rich, spicy food is gener- ally not good for an animal's overall health, no matter how much theY. beg. When it comes to feeding pets jn general. David recom- mends meal time be pushed back to the cooler hours of the day. "Feed them later in the evenings because heat can reduce an animal's afpetite just as with humans, he said. While many of the sum- mer warnings posted are aimed at dogs, cats have spe- cific concerns which need to be addressed as well. "We don't advocate letting cats outdoors,• said Bern- stein. "ff your cat is indoors, like it should be, then they should be in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment.· Spring and summer months are also the season when flea populations explode. A flea treatment such as Aea Busters, which uses a nontoxic salt substance to treat carpets in the home, should be used in conjunc- tion with pet treatments like Advantage, which is applied directly to an animal's coat. Pets, like humans, can also get sunburned, so an animal's coat should not be shaved too closely, said Bernstein. Another danger to guard against is heatstroke. "Heatstroke can affect both dogs and cats, especial- ly if the animal is heavy or SteveMmble NOIEIOOI Steve Marble is on vacation. old or suffers from heart con- ditions,• said David. Symptoms of heatstroke are heaVy panting, weakness, vomiting and increased heart rate. If your pet displays any of these signs, move them to the shade and try to bring the body temperature down by bathing them in cool water, David advised. After that, get the animAl to the vet as soon as possible. Along with the potential . for heatstroke and stmbums, dog bites become more fre- quent during the summer months. Both animals and humans spend more time outside, increasing the likeli- hood of a calamitous con- frontation between the two species ..

So, she asked her dad to get her one. "He's all, 'OK, l'U get you one for Christmas or your birthday,'• Krys- tal, now 9, said. With her dad fixing up motor bikes they had bought used, Krystal started racing junior motocross at age 15. It wasn't long before sh~ startM winning. She could still be racing, and winning motocross races, but that doesn't interest Krystal anymore.

"After her mom passed away, she lost all interest in motocross.• But racing was still ln Krysta.l's blood, so she turned to the race track closest to her home, the Costa Mesa Speedway. Krystal1s first race at Costa Mesa was the last junior event of 1999. She bas raced three times at Costa Mesa this year. Krystal won the junior race June 17, which her dad describes as the highlig~t of her short speedway car~r. Her smooth riding style, her dad said, allows Krysta.l to excel in the demanding Speedway races. •She used to have a little rocking horse, and she showed a lot of bal- ance on that thing," Neil said. "She used to bounce up and down with no hands.

She was also one of the few girls competing. Krystal, however, earned more than 40 trophies, including 16 for first-place finishes, in three and a half years of motocross racing. She proved to be a natural on the bike. •It was kind of easy,• Krystal said of her first time on the track. "I was good at it from the start.• "She's always been real 'smooth," Neil said.

She settled into a weekly routine of practice Wednesday, practice Saturday, and race on Sat- urday night. Jlicking up trophies with regular- ity, things were going smoothly for Krystal until she lost her mother, with whom she shared her success. She continued to race for another year, but it wasn't the same without her mom. •There was the thing with her mom, and that weighed pretty heavily on her,• Neil said. "But once she started racing at Speed- way, things have been going pretty well." Just like motocross, Krystal got into Speedway racing by going to Costa Mesa every Saturday with her dad. With the loss of her mother fresh on her mind, Krystal decided to change sports. She now races whenever Costa Mesa schedules )unior races.

"We're just going through the junior programs,• Neil said. "I'll tell you one thing though, whenever she's done, I'm done. But I don't see that happening for a long time."
