HOME AGAIN: Scott Squires must be glad that he didn’t sell his Newbury Park home. Squires, a former assistant football coach at Cal Lutheran University, is returning as head coach (C10). . . . “My first meeting with the players was a little emotional,” said Squires, who spent the last year coaching in Las Vegas. “A lot of those kids I recruited as an assistant here.”

GOOD DEEDS: The high school version of the Kiwanis Club is celebrating Kiwin Week, during which club members do good deeds daily. The helpful acts by the 30 Kiwins at Camarillo High School include delivering cookies to police officers and working at a local food bank. . . . It was tougher to get the deeds orchestrated at the site of the only other Kiwin Club in the county, since members are incarcerated. But the two dozen members of the California Youth Authority chapter managed to raise $900 for a victims’ relief fund.

NO REPLY: It’s eight days into the space shuttle Columbia’s mission, and Sharon Sickler’s class at Acacia Elementary School is still waiting for e-mail from astronaut Scott Horowitz. Horowitz, who attended Acacia as a sixth-grader, agreed to e-mail the class from space after Sickler asked him to take a banner made by her students on the shuttle. . . . Sickler said the class isn’t taking it personally, since it appears that no shuttle crew members have answered their e-mail. The children will try again today, she said.

NIGHT LIGHT: Shuttle aficionados should be able to catch a glimpse next week of the satellite that broke free from Columbia. . . . The satellite and its 12-mile cord should be visible for one to three minutes a day as they zoom eastward over Southern California. . . . But you’ve got to get up early: NASA expects the space junk flyover at 5:02 a.m. Thursday, 5:18 a.m. March 8 and 5:32 a.m. March 9.
