Sue Doyle DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -Rosalind climbed onto her mother's lap to watch a fireworks show in her driveway when a stray bottle rocket -launched . from a neighbor's house struck the 2-year-old. Topics and trends that affect your life The child burst into screams, terrilied. And so were her family and friends who were gathered around for a Fourth of July celebra- tion. However, the rocket only .. burned two boles in her sweater and did not mar the little g irl, e xcept for her memories of that day. The neighbors came over to apologize for the close call. NLuckUy, nothing hap- pe ned, but it could have been on her bare arm or l\ead and been worse,• said Margaret Nolde, Rosalind's mother. The experience forced Nolde to take a second look at ._pyrotechnics. and their dangers. She urges 'Others to take tnore responsibility with them. The. Costa Mesa Police Department received 145 calls from residents con - cerned about fireworks -not out of the ordinary for July 4, said Lt. John FitzPatrick. It's also predictable for a place where fireworks, which are contraband in many cities, are legally sold. Many people around the county travel to one of the five cities that still sell the the safe and sane variety: Costa Mesa, Buena Park.

Longtime resident and writer John Blaich informed me that at one time, Newport Harbor was a repair facility for large ships. The South Coast Shipyard stood where the Bal- boa Bay Oub now resides. In HMS, the yard was commis- sioned to repair a 364-foot Aetcher- dass destroyer with a 2,100-ton chs· placement. In 19'3, the same yard repaired a 327-foot. 2,000-ton lSf, as well. To the best of Blaich's recollec- tioo. the largest yacht ta enter New· pert Harbor was the MS. Stranger. She was 230 feet long, had a 33-foot beam and weighed 1,309 tons. Stranger entered Newport Harbor in 1936 and was moored in front of CapL Fred E. Lewis' estate at 2100 E. Balboa Blvd. In 1935, Lewis hired 13 local Sea Scouts to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Blaich was one of the fortunate. •eapL Lewis sent us by rail all the way to Connecticut. where we assisted in fitting out tbe Stranger for her voyage to Newport Beach,• .. Blaich said.

On weekends, the New- port Beach resident stands among cages of kittens out- side Russo's Pets at Fashion Island, hoping to find goOd h'emes for them. About 70 felines and tow dogs are waiting in line and sell for between $75 and $150. "lt's destiny that I'm here." Pfaff-Martin said. •And I'm destined to succeed with this but need the community's support, too." She certainly got their attenti0n. Shoppers swanned around the cages to take a peek at the sleepy kittens. Some stuck their fingers through the cages to pet them. bthers could not resist and opened the cage doors to cuddle.

Richard Dunn DAILY PILOT Some ~ay in order to • remain young at heart, you need to surround yourself with young people. If that's the case, figure skating coadi John Nicks, who has seen every move and twist imaginable on an ice rink, never seems to grow old ... only his list of Olympians gets longer. "The most significant thing at.(age) 71 is still being in the business and being a survivor,• said Nicks who has been based out of the lee Chalet in Costa Mesa for 18 years. and has coached a U.S. national champion in every division -men's, ladies, pairs, -novice. juniors and seniors. own ice show for two years out of South Africa. In the spring of 1961, while Nicks was visiting his sister in Canada, he learned of the tragic news that would change the course of his life. An airplane carrying the entire U.S. Olympic Figure Skating team crashed in Belgium, killing every skater and all six coaches. Nicks later replaced Bill Kipp as U.S. Olympic coach and helped resurrect the American program. His first year as U.S. Olympic coach came at Grenoble in 1968, the country's first year back since the catastrophic plane crash. "I'm a survivor -I'm not frozen out yet.• Nicks once said in March 1992, following the Winter Games in Albertville, France, where he coached five U.S. skaters.

"It's a real exciting time of my life, and, really, the most enjoyable,• Nicks said. •Just being at my age and winding down (in my career), yet still being able to be associated with two young ladies of the future, is quite enjoyable.· Todd Sand and Jenni Meno formed a noted pair in the 1990s because of their romance off the ice (and eventual marriage) and Olympic moments, but the top pair coached by Nicks included Tai Babllorua and Randy Gardner, the 1979 world champions who skated at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. Nicks, who has coached U.S. skaters at nine different Winter Olympics, trained JoJo Starbuck and Ken Shelley in the 1970s, but Babilonia and Gardner captured five straight national championships from 1976 to '80. A two-tune Olympic skater for Great Britain in 1948 and '52, Nicks won the world and European championships in · 1953, then turned pro, skAting in ice shows throughout Europe. Nicks went on to operate his As an Olympic competitor, Nicks placed eighth at the 1948 Games and fourth in · 52, skating with his sister in the pairs. •I've always been fortunate,• Nicks said, "because I've always been associated with talent in ice skating. r don't know why, but I've been lucky to coach a lot of very talented people. "One reason why I wanted to come tq California 40 years ago was because I knew that California bad youth, not only for skating, but for any sport. The people seemed to be very focused and had a lot of ambition. They were very intense in their approach and usually very successful. and there's not really a better place to finish up (a coaching career) than Orange County, California.
