    A Huntington Beach Treasure

    Longtime friends of Scott Dekraai sayhe was an endearing sportfishingcaptain until a gruesome accident

    turned him into "a ghost of who he was."

    Neighbors call him friendly and considerate.

    The Accused Gunman in the SalonSlayings. Below is Scott Dekraai in hissenior class photo, 1987, Wilson High inLong Beach. His parents also are alumni.Woodrow Wilson High yearbook

    When longtime friends of Scotty Dekraaisaw him being hauled away by policeon TV Wednesday , they scarce lyrecognized him at first.

    Gone was the fit and endearing WilsonHigh grad who fished the local waterfrontand worked port docks. In his place stood adisheveled, aged, perhaps bloated figure,accused of gunning down his ex-wife andeight others at a Seal Beach hair salon.

    Interviewed late Wednesday, friendsand a former boss recalled the oldDekraai as a passionate sportfishing cap-tain who worked waterfront jobs so dirtyand demanding that you had to love fish-ing and the ocean to do them. But it wason the water, they said, that the seeds ofWednesday's unfathomabledestruction might have been sown.

    In 2007, Dekraai was involved in agruesome tugboat accident that killed deck-hand Piper Cameron cutting her in twoas Dekraai tried to save her and nearlysevered Dekraai's legs, according to friendsand news accounts.

    "I saw him two years later,and he was like a ghost ofwho he was," a formerco-worker recalled.

    Another friend saidDekraai "was just never thesame after the accident. Itphysically destroyed him ...and it emotionally devastated him. Piperwas like his little sister ... and he could notsave her."

    Aside from family, nobody knewDekraaian embattled, thrice-marriedfather so disabled he needed a caretakerlonger than Don Ashley. Widely knownamong anglers as the owner of the PierpointLanding charter operation, Ashley had goneto Rogers Middle School and Wilson Highwith Scotty's parents.

    When Scotty was a young teen, Ashleyput him to work on the docks of his charter business. After graduating Wilson High,class of 1987, Scotty rose to 2nd captainmeaning he ran the vessel sometimesanddelighted customers and crew. "You couldjust tell how much he loved what he wasdoing," said one friend.

    In an odd twist of fate, when Ashley livedon 14th Street in Seal Beach, one ofhis neighbors was the woman who wouldeventually become Dekraai's second wife.

    "Hey, I married your former neighborMichelle,"Dekraai told Ashley years later,when the two men bumped into each otherafter a long absence.

    Michelle was six years older thanDekraai and already had two children whenthey met. Together they would have a son .

    But in 2007, not long after thetugboat mishap, Dekraai filed fordivorce. The boy became theepicenter of a lingering custody

    feud some believe sparkedWednesday's shooting.

    Passionate, Emotional and ArtisticMegan, a cop who asked that her last name be withheld, was a teenager when sheworked beside the avid fisherman everyoneknew as Scotty. She said he treated her likea little sister "and my dad like his own,calling and checking on him."

    Dekraai was passionate, emotional andartistic a painter who did "squidlike"abstracts, she said. He also owned aclothing company called Bendo that madeT-shirts "everyone wanted to wear."It wasa sideline for seven years, she said.

    "He was just a pleasure to be with, towork with,"said Megan. When she got intolaw enforcement about a decade ago andDekraai went on to commercial and indus-trial boating, she saw him less frequently.

    But her best friend was one of Michelle'ssalon clients until "things got so tensebetween Scotty and Michelle that she [thefriend] went somewhere else. She didn'twant to be in the middle of it."

    Jekyll and HydeOne of Michelle's former salon co-workers

    described him as mean to Michelle andodd. She said other salon workers wereafraid of Dekraai's anger and temper.

    Dekraai's friends said they too witnessedor heard about DeKraai's screamingmatches with Michelle.

    "When he and Michelle got divorced, itwas ugly afterward," Ashley said.

    On his street in Huntington Beach,however, Dekraai was considered friendlyand thoughtful.

    I just waved at him this morning on myway to work, and he seemed fine, saidDekraais next-door neighbor, StephanieMalchow. When I came home, I didntknow what had happened until I saw policedigging through our trash.

    Its hard to reconcile the image of OrangeCountys worst mass murder with the

    friendly neighbor who shared gardeningtips and plants, gave birthday gifts tonewborns and joined the NeighborhoodWatch program, said Malchow.

    I dont want people to think he is justan evil monster. Hes a nice guy, but hemust have snapped, she said. If he wasin a custody dispute, that would explainwhy he snapped. He loveshis little boy more thananything else in the world.

    DeKraai doted on hisson, playing with himin the front yard andworrying when the boywent to stay with hisex-wife. He spoke bitterlyabout her to Malchow. Hesaid he didnt trust herparenting, and complainedshe did things like droptheir son off at school tooearly in the morning.

    His son is such a s weetlittle boy and an innocentin all this. Its so sadto think that he is going tosuffer the most out of every-one. He is just a poorkid, not even 9, and his family is gone from him,

    said Malchow. Hell never be able to get far enough away from all this. Hell bethat kid at school who all the kids point atand say, 'Thats the kid whose dad didthat horrible thing.'

    DeKraai recently married his third wife,Mindy, in the backyard of their HuntingtonBeach home and invited the neighbors.

    Friends said the couple met after histugboat mishap. Dekraaicould not drive immedi-ately afterward, so thecompany provided acaretaker. He fell inlove with her.

    After moving to theircurrent neighborhood,the couple quickly became popular forvarious thoughtfulgestures, said Malchow.When DeKraai wentfishing, he shared hiscatch with neighbors.And when Malchowleft her garage dooropen, it was Dekraaiwho knocked on herdoor and pointed it out,warning about burglars.Even the succulentslining Malchows houseare from cuttingsDeKraai shared.

    I cant make senseout of any of this, saidMalchow. I still thinkhe is a nice guy, but just when you thinkyou know someone,

    this happens.

    Two 71-year-old women and an 82-year-old manwere taken to a hospital emergency room

    Saturday following a friends memorial service,where a tray of pot brownies was offered. They

    complained of nausea, dizziness and an inability tostand without assistance.

    The three, residents of Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, didnt know the marijuana-lacedsweets were being offered in memory of their friend,

    who ate marijuana brownies. Police saythe baked goods were put out without any

    announcement about what was in them.

    Huntington Beach does not permitlicensed medical marijuana dispensaries

    in the city limits. Federal authoritiesannounced Friday they plan to crack down on

    marijuana sales and growing operations throughout the state.

    Herman Cain is running for

    president. Hes not a career politician (in fact he has

    never held political office). Hesknown as a pizza guy, but theresa lot more to him. Hes also acomputer guy, a banker guy, and arocket scientist guy.

    Heres his bio:

    o Mathematician for the Navy,where he worked on missile ballistics(making him a rocket scientist).

    o Computer systems analyst forCoca-Cola.

    o VP of Corporate Data Systemsand Services for Pillsbury (thisis the top of the ladder in thecomputer world, being in chargeof information systems for a

    major corporation).All achieved before reaching the

    age of 35. Since he reached the topof the information systems world,

    he changed careers!

    o Business Manager.

    Took charge of Pillsburys 400Burger King restaurants in thePhiladelphia area, which were thecompanys poorest performers inthe country. Spent the first ninemonths learning the businessfrom the ground up, cooking

    hamburger and yes, cleaningtoilets. After three years he hadturned them into the companys

    best performers.

    o Godfathers Pizza CEO. Wasasked by Pillsbury to take charge of

    their Godfathers Pizza chain(which was on the verge

    of bankruptcy). Hemade it profitable in14 months.

    o In 1988 heled a buyout ofthe GodfathersPizza chain fromPillsbury. He wasnow the ownerof a restaurantchain. Again hereached the topof the ladder ofanother industry.

    o He was alsochairman of the National RestaurantAssociation during this time. Thisis a group that interacts withgovernment on behalf of therestaurant industry, and it gave him

    political experience from thenon-politician side.

    Having reached the top of a secondindustry, he changed careers again!

    o Adviser to the Federal ReserveSystem.

    Herman Cainwent to workfor the FederalReserve BankingSystem advisingthem on howmonetary policychanges would

    affect Americanbusinesses.

    o Chairmanof the Kansas

    City Federal Reserve Bank.

    He worked his way up to thechairmanship of a regional FederalReserve bank. This is only onestep below the chairmanship of theentire Federal Reserve System(the top banking position in thecountry). This position allowedhim to see how monetary policyis made from the inside, and under-stand the political forces that impactthe monetary system.

    We al-readyknow

    the price ofsuccess in college

    football is steep. But it seems the price of failureis on the rise as well.

    The University of Arizona recently firedhead coach Mike Stoops after a 1-5 start tothe season. Along with his terminationnotice, Stoops was also given acheck for $1.4 million as partial

    payment for the two andone-half years remaining onhis contract.

    Going back to lastseason, Stoops is 1-10 inhis teams last 11 starts,making the why ofStoops termination selfexplanatory. However,the timing of his dismissalisnt quite so clear. Whynow, when the Universitywill have to hire - and

    pay - another coach tolead the Wildcats forthe remainder of thisseason? Apparently,the decision not to bringStoops back for next yearhad already been made.Better to make the movenow rather than have theteam go on a winningstreak and run the riskthat Stoops supporters,of which there are few inTucson at the moment,would raise a ruckus iftheir man was canned.

    Stoops parting giftshould forever put to rest theargument that universities donot have the financial where-withal to fill the gap between

    the amount of a student-athletes scholarship

    and the actualcost of a yearof highereducat ion. A

    recent study pegged that numberat an average of

    $3,222 per year for the120 BCS schools.

    With 85 scholarshipsallowed by the NCAA, the

    total scholarship deficiencyis approximately $275,000/

    year/ school. In U of Ascase, Stoops termination pay would cover thescholarship gap forfive years.

    Stoops was the first,but he wont be the last,BCS coach canned thisseason. And somethingelse you can count on.Stoops successor at the

    U of A will earnmore than he

    did. Think atleast twice and

    perhaps threetimes more.

    Thats just how

    the system works. If you want to keep up withthe Joneses, i.e., win enough football games toreceive an invite to a BCS bowl game, you haveto pay the going rate for a big-name coach.

    Dont feel sorry for Arizona. The Universitywont be at a loss for revenue to pay its nextcoach, whoever he may be. All Pac 12Conference members, including Arizona, will

    begin receiving an additional $15 million peryear in 2012 as a result of a new TV deal.

    While the escalation in coaches salariesseemingly has no end, the student-athletes playfor free. Forget the argument that they receive afree education. Less than half of BCS football

    players graduate with a degree in anything and

    a significant number of those who do earn adegree are unemployable.

    As for Mike Stoops, he has his termination payand a job offer from brother Bob at Oklahoma,from whence he came.

    Octobers annual St.Bonaventure Parish FallFestival in Huntington

    Beach did not disappoint. A tradi-tion for 45 years, theFestival is anticipated

    by the entire city population 20,000 in1966 and 200,000today. This yearsevent, themed TheSpirit of Surf City,had a large turnout as

    both parishioners andcommunity memberstook advantage of per-fect Huntington Beachweather, fun rides andgreat food.

    Preparation began the week be-fore, as the parking lot filled withmotor homes and large trailersholding rides and equipment. ByFriday, the school field and parking

    lot were transformed into a bustlingMidway of carnival games, food

    booths and thrill rides.The unmistakable shrill screams

    and laughter signaled the begin-ning of three days of excitement.Savory aromas from food boothsfilled the air as grills sizzled withchicken and beef and sausage.

    The sweet scentof funnel cakesand cottoncandy could besmelled as the

    breeze shiftedslightly.

    During theweekend thedance floor wascrowded with peo-

    ple of all ages en- joying the soundsof local bands and

    musicians. The St.B o n a v e n t u r eevent was de-scribed as a greatopportunity to re-

    connect withold friends byMary LynnHearn, who ex-

    plained that FallFestival is a"homecoming"of sorts for allof last year's 8thgrade graduates."We get to see friends we haven'tseen since graduation since many

    of us attend different high schools."Sheriffs were busy taking in

    prisoners, all of whom were beingarrested in the name of a goodcause. One well known inmate,Father Angelos, was interviewed

    while behind bars. He went on therecord stating that the Kamikazewas his favorite ride, although he

    noted that he wasntquite sure hed bewaiting in the longline again.

    Proceeds from theevent help fund parishyouth programs. TheFestival, one of thelargest parish eventsin the Diocese of Or-ange, is chaired byMr. and Mrs. SteveMorano and produced

    by about 80 parishvolunteers.

    Oh, and the Food...did we men-tion, Italian, Vietnamese, Burgers,Sausages, baked goods, sometwenty food booths that just did notstop giving...food that is until theyran out on Sunday night.

    Dear EarthTalk:Whats the latest

    in regard to puttinglimits on greenhouse gas

    emissions in the U.S.? Is there any hope thatObama can get something done?

    Bradley Johnson, Helena, MT

    Our best hope to datewas 2009s AmericanClean Energy and

    Security Act (ACES), a bill that called for theimplementation of a cap-and-trade system to limitcarbon dioxide emissions bycapping overall emissionsand allowing polluters to

    buy or sell greenhouse gaspollution creditssimilar towhat the European Unionhas been doing since 2005 tosuccessfully reduce its ownemissionsdepending uponwhether they were exceedingestablished limits or hadsucceeded in coming in

    below them.

    According to the bill, U.S.businesses needing to pollutemore could buy emissions credits on the openmarket; those able to reduce emissions could selltheir pollution credits on the same trading floor.Thus there is a built-in incentive to reduceemissions: If you exceed pollution limits youhave to keep buying costly credits; and if you canget below limits you can profit from the sale ofcredits for the difference.

    Among the bills key provisions was a 17 percentreduction in greenhouse gas emissions below2005 levels by 2020, with a mid-century goal ofan 80 percent reduction. Also, billions of dollarswould have gone to initiatives bolstering greentransportation, energy efficiency and relatedresearch and development. The bill was approved

    by the House in June 2009 by a narrow 219-212vote. But Senate Democrats decided they didnt

    have enough votes to get a version of the billpassed, and tabled the discussion.

    While ACES may not have made it into the lawbooks, its passage by the House was significantas it represented the first time the legislative

    branch called for sweeping climate legislation.

    Also, the bills provisions served as a guidelinefor U.S. negotiators heading to Denmark later in2009 for the COP15 international climate talks(although in the end nothing binding was agreedupon there).

    Then, in May 2010 Senators John Kerry andJoe Lieberman unveiled their own cap-and-tradeclimate bill for the Senate. Dubbed the AmericanPower Act, it aimed to reduce overall U.S.greenhouse gas emissions by similar amounts asACES. But with the nation still reeling from theeffects of BPs Gulf oil spillthe AmericanPower Act include provisions for offshoredrillingand Senate Republicans leery of anyclimate legislation, the bill failed to make it to afloor vote. Some point the finger at a handful of

    Democratic Senators from coal-producing statesfor not supporting their party colleagues. Otherssay Obama wasnt advocating strongly enoughdespite his campaign rhetoric on the topic.

    The best one could plausibly hope for inthe next Congress, assuming only modest

    Republican gains, is somesort of weak cap on utilityemissions, possibly withsome weak oil savingmeasures, though that wouldstill require Obama to dowhat he refused to do undermore favorable politicalcircumstancespush hardfor a bill, writes commen-tator Joe Romm of ThinkProgress, a liberal political

    blog. Romm adds that itsinconceivable to think thenext Congress would evencontemplate strong climateor clean energy legislationwithout Obama undergoinga major strategy change andtaking a very strong leader-ship role in crafting the billand lobbying for the bill and

    selling it to the public.

    THE SITUATION: In Washington, DC,at a Metro Station, on a cold Januarymorning in 2007, this man with a violin

    played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes.During that time, approximately2,000 people went through thestation, most of them on theirway to work. After about 3minutes, a middle-aged mannoticed that there was a musician

    playing. He slowed his pace and

    stopped for a few seconds, and thenhe hurried on to meet his schedule.

    About 4 minutes later: The violinistreceived his first dollar. A woman threwmoney in the hat and, without stopping,continued to walk.

    At 6 minutes: A young man leanedagainst the wall to listen to him,then looked at his watch andstarted to walk again.

    At 10 minutes: A 3-year old boystopped, but his mother tuggedhim along hurriedly. The kidstopped to look at the violinistagain, but the mother pushed

    hard and the child continued to walk, turninghis head the whole time. This action wasrepeated by several other children, but every

    parent - without exception - forced theirchildren to move on q uickly.

    At 45 minutes: The musicianplayed continuously. Only 6 peoplestopped and listened for a shortwhile. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at theirnormal pace. The man collected a

    total of $32.After 1 hour:He finished playing

    and silence took over. Noone noticed and no one

    applauded. There was norecognition at all.

    No one knew this, but the violinist

    was Joshua Bell,one of the great-est musicians

    in the world.He played

    one of themost intricate

    pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bellsold-out a theater in Boston where the seatsaveraged $100 each to sit and listen to him

    play the same music.

    This is a true story. Joshua Bell, playingincognito in the D.C. Metro Station, wasorganized by the Washington Post as part ofa social experiment about perception, tasteand people's priorities.

    This experiment raised several questions:

    n In a common-place environment, at aninappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

    n If so, do we stop to appreciate it?n Do we recognize talent in an

    unexpected context?

    One possible conclusion reached from thisexperiment could be this: If we do not have amoment to stop and listen to one of the bestmusicians in the world, playing some of thefinest music ever written, with one of the most

    beautiful instruments ever made ...

    How many other things arewe missing as we rush through life?

    Enjoy life NOWit has an expiration date.
