City Manager Allan Roeder said the program was brought back this year mainly because the city needed someone to watch over its athletic fields. "If groups are using them with- out authorization we will have them removed," Roeder said. "In general, with the numbers of res- idents and non-residents using the parks, there's going to be inevitable conflicts.

Mandell, a former Orange County animal control officer, may also have to cite park users who allow dogs to run off leashes. Unlike park rangers in Santa Ana who carry guns. Costa Mesa rangers are armed with a can of pepper spray and a book to write tickets. Their dubes are to enforce the city's codes and laws such as no alcoholic beverages and no camping. Mandell also will verify whether people using piauc facil- ities or athletic belds have per- mits. Although a permit is not necessary to use these facilities, if someone purchases a permit to use the facilities and reserves a time the re can be some conflicts.

He speaks of his "lile conver- sion,. the neetingness of the world, the New Order that God has promised.

Bennett bad befriended him, ministered to him, converted him to the Jehovah's Witness faith and furnished him with photos of the Bennett family - evidence, the defense argued, of Bennett's generous character. Kirkwood pointed out the inmate was a convicted pedophile who now had shots of Bennett's two young boys. Bennett gives the prosecu- tor's tactic a principled thumbs- down: fflt was kicking below the belt." He adds he didn't know the man was a child molester when he befriended him and wouldn't have cared anyway. • 1sn 't a p erson more thari what tus crime is?" he asks. Ya rds away, convicted serial killer Richard Ramirez and his wife. Doreen, are stocking up at the vending machine.

The backdrop is a water- fall-and-valley mural done in idealistically bright colors, like a prisoner's misremembered vision of nature, like the Garden of Eden. U the family portrait seems jarringly wrong, an illusion of harmony concealing deep and irreparable fractures the boys do not yet even understand, it also seems to resemble the longed- for picture fixed in Benne tt's head. In a letter dated May 23, 1997, addressed to "Tyler and Toshy," Bennett writes: "I love you forever and ever. And remember Jehovah's promise. For some day very soon we (will) be together forever in paradise.• Included with Bennett's letters are crude sketches -mountains, skies, lions and stick-figure peo- ple -meant to represent the idealized New Order, where families are whole and killers are washed clean of their flaws.

He bad a religious upbringing. He had a wife that supported him. He was skilled at a trade. He had employment and the oppor- tunity for endless employment." Ask Bennett's family what went wrong, and their faces assume a puzzled, stricken expression.

FALLBROOK Bennett's hometown, Pall- brook, is a drowsy place of scrub-covered hills and large, empty fields where teenagers gather on weekends to kill the small-town boredom with the usual favorites -sex, liquor and drugs. A Wyoming native, Be n- nett came here as a teenager and took up all the worst local habits. Leah Bennett says he went lo school drunk and ditched often to go swfing. Beset by dyslexia, he found winning girls much easier than schoolwork. ~He went through tons of girl- frie nds,• she says. •Even when he had a girlfriend, he had other girlfriends.• Despite appearances of nor- malcy, the defense argued dur- ing trial his childhood was marked by emotional coldness, particularly with regard to his father. Young Bennett couldn't read, couldn't keep up, couldn't live up to expectations. A high school dropout, Ben- nett left hOme ln hi.I mklteeN, sold and uMd dNgl, worked at an auto parts aeon and finally went to work for iu,. father'• car- pet businelll. Bennett'• tint mar- riage ended quickly: Monogamy was not b1J strong suit. By the time be came to work as a subcontractor for the Costa Mesa-based Mike'• C~t Emporium in 1994. bis father had fired him for having missed jobs, and he was on his second maniage with two kids to sup- port. Coming to Costa Mesa was •the worst move we ever made," says the second wife, 25-year-old Karen Bennett. •tte didn't have to answer to anybody," she. says. •. ~ LAST MINUTES "I miss dirt, sticking my hands in it," Bennett says, holding up his hands. The fingers are meaty, a thumb is scarred where be almost severe d it on an installa- tion job, and the knuckles are discolored from doing pushups on his fists. •I'm on concrete here.

Yet be has not described Oct. 13, 1994, the last night Marie Powell- Evans was seen alive. He has not told how a rape progressed into a bloodbath. He bas not explained why he broke almost all the bones in her face and stacked a television on her head. Pressed for ariswers, Bennett shifts his weight uncomfortably. His fingers rub violently, rhyth- mically, against the crumpled-up sandwich wrapper. He knew he'd done something terribly wrong after he raped her, he says. He wanted he r to call 911 , he says. She even had the phone in her hand, he says. Yet Bennett is not going to cast light on Powell-Evans' last minutes JUSt yet. "Come back tomorrow," he says.

I had been in Southern California exactly one week when I got a taste of the volleyball scene, and it was delicious -thundering kills, amazing digs, rocket serves. I was hooked. As the college and high school seasons approach in a month or so, the excitement builds. The guls are all on a hiatus from !he highly successful dub teams in the region, and the wait begins. COLLEGES molly yanity I •. I'm left wondering, 1f we took the rosters of all the collegiate volleyball programs in the nation, what percentage of those names would be the names of girls from Southern Cahlonua? I am willing to bet that it would be a percentage higher than any other region in the United States. A pile of women from the local high schools have scattered throughout the nation, going as far north as Michigan, as far east as Washington D.C. and even sticking around the hotbed • Joanna Fielder, University of Michigan Fielder capped off a stellar career at Corona del Mar by earning a starting role in the Orange County All-Star game. The 6-foot-2 middle blocker earned second team All-CIF Division I honors, and was an All-Sea View League first teamer. Fielder will be a freshman for the Wolverines of the Big 10. Last season, two of the Wolverines' biggest rivals, Michigan State and Ohio State, were ranked in the nation's Top 20. • Misty May, Long Beach State Enjoying the most successful collegiate career among recent local products, May, who will embark upon her Junior year as a 49er, has captured two consecutive Big West Player of the Year honors. Considered to be one of the most versatile players m the nation, the Newport Harbor grad led Long Beach State to a 32-2 regular season record last season. A setter, she was third in the conference with assists (11.85 per game), seventh m hitting (.315) and set for the nation's fourth-ranked team in hitting percentage (.305) • Sara Fairborn, Georgetown Not many of the local prep stars can say that her team picture was taken in front of the Capitol. As a matter of fact, Fairborn, a Newport Harbor alum, is the only one. A 5-foot-9 outside tutter, she begins her junior season with the Hoyas, who were 19-14 last season. Fairborn delivered 181 kills for Coach Jolene Nagel m 74 of the Hoyas' 117 games. That was good for the fourth-highest on the team. She was also fourth with 22 aces. •Julia Schnurstein, Wichita State A senior-to-be at Wichita State, Schumstem has moved her way into the pages of the Shockers' recordbook. Despite a 9-22 team record, the Estancia graduate collected a season-tugh 14 kills in a loss to Creighton in the second-to-last game of the season Schnurstein is ninth on the Shockers' all-time IJst m blocks (240) and seventh in block assists (204.) She also tallied 172 kills lourth best on the squad. Her freshman year, she was a All-Mlssoun Valley Conference honorable mention • Jeannette Hecker, Loyola Marymount The defensive specialist played. in each of the Llons 95 games (27 matches), not too shabby for a freshman on the nation's sixth-ranked team. which finished the regular season at 25-2 and swept the West Coast Conference with a 14-0 mark Hecker posted a season-high 13 digs versus Santa Clara, and had 18 asSl.Sts against USF. The Newport Harbor alum registered double figures in dtgs seven times. The Lions met up with UCSB in the NCAA tournament and beat the Gauchos 3-1. The significance? Hecker's sister Julia plays for UCSB. • Julia Hecker, UC Santa Barbara The twin sister of Jeannette, Julia pocketed a wmning season m first year of collegiate play, as well, as the Gauchos finished at 23-9 and earned a rank of 14th in the country. Juba played in 20 of the Gauchos' 32 matches and notched 40 digs and four service aces. Hecker could play a big role in the continuing development of an NCAA powerhouse. The Gauchos, who have participated in the postseason townament in each of its 16 years, return two All-Big West first teamer& (a sophomore and a freshman) and two members of the all-freshman team. • ICelly campbell llDd Melllu Schutz.
