And when all is said and done, there’s still no guarantee Megale will be able to beat his own addiction and stay on the straight and narrow. “Only you can keep yourself clean,” U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema warned him. On March 24, Megale pleaded guilty to distributing heroin to a person under 21. He also acknowledged that, from January 2008 through Jan. 29 of this year, he distributed heroin on a regular basis. Four people died from heroin overdoses as a result of the drug ring’s actions. One was Alicia Lannes, 19, of Centreville. Yet her death failed to deter any of the dealers from getting other young men and women hooked on heroin. “On March 8, 2008, three days after Alicia Lannes died, the defendant sold heroin to a girl who, like him, was 17,” said Barnett at Megale’s June 12 sentencing. “She overdosed, was hospitalized and survived — and she and her mother are in the courtroom today. She overdosed because she ingested heroin after getting it from the defendant.” Barnett said that, by that time — and throughout that summer — Megale had become a “reliable” heroin dealer. The argument’s been made, said Barnett, that the 17-year-old’s overdose was “her fault,” because she chose to use heroin of her own, free will. “But Mr. Megale sold heroin to an immature and unstable drug addict, and we can’t excuse that conduct,” said the prosecutor. “True, he stayed with her, provided support and called 911 — but he also provided the dangerous situation [in the first place].” FURTHERMORE, he said, Megale’s already been “rewarded” for helping the girl. Said Barnett: “The government had the ability last year to ask the court to transfer Mr. Megale to a mandatory, 20-year minimum [sentencing status] and we did not.” And once again, someone’s overdose did nothing to prevent Megale from using and distributing heroin. Authorities say that, after turning 18 in January — thus becoming liable for prosecution as an adult — he continued selling heroin to five more people under age 21. In a Jan. 30 affidavit, FBI Special Agent Bryan Wilhite wrote that, on Jan. 24, a person directed by law enforcement gave Megale $80 to purchase heroin for him, which Megale did, from his Washington, D.C., supplier. Afterward, authorities stopped their vehicle and found Megale in possession of that heroin. Wilhite wrote that Megale actually admitted purchasing $200 worth of heroin that day from the same source from which he’d bought heroin on “at least three prior occasions” in January. “When he continued to pool money with people and sell heroin in 2009, he knew the government was investigating him — and yet he continued,” said Barnett. “Nothing really stopped him.” That’s why, he said, the best place for Megale has been the Alexandria jail, where he’s been incarcerated since January. “He filled the void created by the arrests of [nowconvicted heroin dealers] Quickly, Nash, Schreider and Gibson and became a regular dealer,” said Barnett. He said authorities arrested Megale in January because “We could not delay and allow another young person to suffer — or to have Mr. Megale, at age 18, clearly face a 20-year, mandatory-minimum sentence.” But Defense Attorney Fred Sinclair said Megale was a victim too because he was also addicted to heroin. He said Megale’s local source overdosed and died, but Megale and two others still pooled their money to buy heroin and share it among themselves. He also noted that Megale didn’t drive, so others drove him to the District for the purchases. Regarding Megale’s continuing to deal heroin after becoming his client, Sinclair said, “Frankly, he let me down, and his parents and I believed he should sit in the Alexandria jail and consider his misdeeds.” Earlier, said Sinclair, Megale’s parents sent him to an expensive treatment facility which was for behavior modification, but “didn’t treat his addiction. So when he came out, he used Oxycodone and heroin.” Sinclair said Megale completed a 10-week, substance-abuse course in jail, obtained his GED and was a jail trustee. “There’s a redemptive quality to him,” said the attorney. “At 14, he switched peers, nosedived and went downhill.” Sinclair then asked Judge Brinkema to “temper justice with mercy” and sentence Megale to just 12 months and a day. He said Megale’s parents want to move to New York, where their son would be placed into a Catholic facility, Hope House, “to address his addiction and the psychological problems that led to it. It’s a one-year, inpatient treatment, so he won’t begin his mainstream life until that’s done.” “There’s a job waiting for him, and community college,” added Sinclair. “so plans are afoot to turn Matthew’s life around, but the only one who can do it is Matthew. Beginning at age 14, he used marijuana, then ecstasy, cocaine and heroin. [But] he’s gotten a cold dose of reality in jail.” MEGALE THEN STOOD and addressed the court. “Poor choices led me to this point,” he said. “It’s hurt not only myself, but the ones closest to me, my family — especially my little sister and my mother. I take full responsibility and I will overcome this, one way or another.” Brinkema said the most difficult part of her job is sentencing young offenders. “Do you give them a hard hit, the first time, or give them a break,” she asked. She then spoke directly to Megale. “The fact that you continued to be involved in heroin after the investigation began and your parents had hired you an attorney — and you continued to associate with these people and use drugs — is an indicator that the lesson hasn’t been learned,” said Brinkema. However, she also noted the number of letters she’d received on Megale’s behalf, how his problems had adversely affected his mother’s health and that his wheelchair-bound sister “depends upon” him. The judge was also pleased with how well he’d behaved in jail. “So I’m going to take a chance on you,” said Brinkema. “But ultimately, it’s on your shoulders.” She then imposed a sentence of one year and one day, plus credit for time already served, and placed Megale on six years supervised release. She also advised him that she’ll maintain jurisdiction over his probation, so “If you get in trouble in New York, you’ll come back to this court. That means no violations of law, including traffic laws.” Megale must remain drug-free, submit to regular drug testing and complete whatever drug and mental-health treatment his probation officer recommends. And he must maintain full-time education or employment because, Brinkema told him, “You need lots of structure in your life for the next few years.” She also said she’d recommend he be incarcerated in the Federal Correctional Institution camp in Cumberland, Md., so he could participate in its 50hour drug-treatment program. Afterward, outside the courtroom, Sinclair said, “I got what I asked for; I was quite happy with the result.” www.ConnectionNewspapers.com News Roundups Newsome Sentenced to Jail A Chantilly man has been convicted of assault by mob. He is Ross Aristotle Newsome, 19, of 14064 Eagle Chase Circle. In an April 29 affidavit robbery, Fairfax County Police Det. Eric Deane detailed the case against him. Deane wrote that on March 28, around 10:20 p.m., a male was walking to his home through an apartment-complex parking lot at Route 50 and Majestic Lane in Greenbriar when the incident occurred. According to the detective, “Several young males approached him, beat him and stole his personal belongings.” The subsequent police investigation developed Newsome as a suspect, and on April 23, he was charged with robbery and assault by mob. He appeared on June 8 in General District Court, and at that time, the robbery offense was dropped. Judge Michael Cassidy then found him guilty of the assault and sentenced him to 20 days in jail (360 days with 340 suspended. Newsome was also ordered to pay $100 restitution to the victim. Gambling Case to Grand Jury The criminal case against a Fairfax Center man is moving forward in the justice system. He is Michael G. Cox, 47, of 4132 Fountainside Lane, Apt. 301, in Fairfax, and he’s accused of conducting an illegal gambling operation. A detective with the Fairfax County police Special Investigations, Narcotics and Money Laundering Unit explained the case against him in a Nov. 12 affidavit. He stated that, acting in an undercover capacity, he placed illegal sports bets with Cox from May 20, 2008 through Nov. 9, 2008. Wrote the detective: “[I] placed over 180 illegal sports bets on professional football and professional baseball with Cox. The illegal sports bets totaled over $40,000.” Police arrested Cox on Nov. 12, 2008, and he appeared in General District Court last Wednesday, June 10. At that time, Judge Lisa Mayne sent his charge to the grand jury for possible indictment. Pears Enters Guilty Pleas Believing that a former employee of a Vienna gym used other people’s personal information to try to pay his rent and other bills in December 2008, Fairfax County police arrested a Fairfax Corner man. He is Jason Pears of 4245 Summit Corner Drive, No. 345, in Fairfax. On May 26 in Circuit Court, he pleaded guilty to one count of identity theft and two counts of credit-card fraud. Judge Randy Bellows then scheduled his sentencing for Sept. 4. Suspended Sentence for Worthy In September 2008, Fairfax County police charged a Centreville couple in connection with an escort service that defrauded and assaulted its clients. The charges were later dropped against the female, but went forward against the male. Carl E. Worthy, 38, of The Meadows community, has been convicted. In each case involving the escort service, said police, the victim met the female escort at a local motel or hotel. But once money changed hands, the escort fled without providing her services. If the victim chased her, he was assaulted by the escort’s partner with an expandable baton. Police said that happened on Aug. 27, 2008, and charged Worthy with crimes including malicious wounding. The Nov. 17 grand jury indicted him on a reduced charge of unlawful wounding. Then on May 26 in Circuit Court, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery, and Judge Marcus Williams gave him a 12-month, suspended sentence.

At some point, there’s a price to pay, and Randolph Brooks will pay it in prison. He was sentenced last Friday to five years behind bars and, said Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Brandon Shapiro, “This defendant is a criminal, by all means.” In April, Brooks, 28, of no fixed address, was convicted of five larcenies in connection with a Jan. 23 crime in Centreville’s Country Club Manor community. A Centreville woman, 45, started her car in the 13900 block of Deviar Drive and left it unattended — with her purse inside — while she went back inside her house. Some 10 minutes later, she discovered her car was gone. Fairfax County police investigated and learned that her credit card had been used at a store in Fair Lakes. Officers found Brooks in a parking lot — standing next to the stolen car, a 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer — and arrested him on the spot. On March 16, the grand jury indicted him on four counts of larceny with intent to sell, plus one count of credit-card larceny. He pleaded guilty to all five offenses on April 6 in Circuit Court. He returned June 12 for sentencing. “He was stealing vehicles while people warmed them up and then he sold them to undercover officers,” said Shapiro. “He said he was going to use the money to pay his restitution [for other offenses], but didn’t. He also stole a credit card from one vehicle.” Shapiro said Brooks owes at C least $4,000 restitution and was on probation in both Fairfax County and Charles County, Md., when he committed these offenses.

And he assured the panel that, “We’re a family organization, and we educate our employees to not sell alcohol to people already intoxicated or to those whose age they’re not sure of.” Explaining that E&C is a “very small business,” he said he personally doesn’t agree with alcohol use, but he realizes that having the ability to sell it at the mini-mart would be best for the employees there because of the money it would yield. “We’re not a large oil company, so the pressure we have to sell a gallon of gas is tremendous,” said Hall. “We make less than 10 cents/gallon, in most instances. So we need the other revenue streams to make a profit and continue to stay in business.” “I think it’s good that you’re revisiting this,” Hart told the panel. “It helps to figure out what you’re doing.” Health Notes The Fair Oaks Parkinson Foundation Support Group meets monthly on the fourth Saturday, from 10 a.m. -12 p.m. at Sunrise at Fair Oaks, 3750 Joseph Siewick Drive, Fairfax.

Every day, they go to a classroom to focus on work they’ve missed or haven’t understood. It’s a chance to learn again and retake tests.” Centreville is moving into a new age, he said, because it’s now a majority minority school, with non-Caucasians accounting for 53 percent of its students. Almost 25 percent of the students are Asian — which requires the faculty and staff to adapt to new ways of teaching and reaching them. “We’re having to research to meet their needs and incorporate their cultures and traditions into the school and make them feel more a part of Centreville,” said Campbell. “Culturally, we’re finding out their parents are supportive of the school system, but not as involved in it. So we need to find ways to bring them into the school.” But on the whole, things are going well, he said. During this school year, Centreville received the 2009 Governor’s Award for Educational Excellence — the highest honor given by the state for academic achievement. The International Center for Leadership in Education labeled Centreville as a Model High School in Virginia. The College Board selected the school’s math department for the Sieman’s Award for its student success rate in AP math, science and technology. Besides all that, said Campbell, “Our performing arts and fine arts department won numerous, local and regional awards and 18 out of 22 of our athletic teams qualified for regional competition — with four going to states. In addition, this year’s senior class will receive over $4 million in scholarships. I’m proud to be a Wildcat.” www.ConnectionNewspapers.com Results Rehab & Fitness, Inc.

By Jason Mackey The Connection s far as affiliation goes, Alex Gregory and Justin Bour aren’t linked by much. A Great Falls native and a graduate of Paul VI High School, Gregory spent four years on the Radford University baseball team. Bour, meanwhile, graduated from Westfield High School and has played at George Mason University for the past three years. But last Wednesday afternoon, Gregory and Bour became intertwined through Major League Baseball’s First-Year Player Draft when their names were called and they were counted upon as the local area’s lone representatives in the annual process. Gregory was a 17th-round pick — Alex Gregory, (524th overall) by Paul VI graduate the New York Mets. The Chicago Cubs picked Bour in the 25th round (770th overall). Both players, who possess nearly identical skill sets as power-hitting first basemen, will begin their professional careers this week. “It’s something that you work at for so long, and it’s great to see that all of your hard work paid off,” Gregory said. “I tried to outwork everybody A “If you can hit, there’ll always be a spot for you at the next level.” Photo courtesy of Andrew Gregory Photo courtesy of George Mason Athletics Westfield graduate Justin Bour hit .339 this past spring at George Mason University and was chosen in the 25th round by the Chicago Cubs last week. every day.” “It wasn’t really a big deal when I was taken,” said Bour. “It’s just the matter of getting the chance to go out there and play. The round really wasn’t much of a concern. It was just going to a good organization.” Gregory will report to New York’s Class A short-season affiliate, the Brooklyn Cyclones. Bour, meanwhile, will report to the Boise Hawks — the Cubs’ Class A short-season affiliate. Gregory will play in the New York-Penn league, while Bour will play in the Northwest League. As a member of the Radford University baseball team this spring, Alex Gregory hit .407 with 10 home runs and 42 RBIs. He also led the Big South with his on-base percentage of .518. LISTED AT 6-foot-4, 250 pounds, there’s little conjecture involved in assessing Bour. He’s a hitter and one with power. This past spring while earning first team All-Colonial Athletic Association honors at Mason, Bour hit .339 (75-for-221) with 66 RBIs. Of his 75 hits, 14 were doubles and 17 were home runs, and his slugging percentage of .633 was third on the team. In the history of George Mason’s program, Bour is second in home runs and RBIs, and he’s fourth in total bases. In addition to his own prowess at the plate, Bour helped author a record-setting season this spring for the Patriots. Historical marks for wins (42-14) and winning percentage (.804) were both tied. The team made its sixth NCAA tournament appearance this season, but the Patriots dropped its first two games to South Carolina and Binghamton. Still, Mason’s run made an impression on Bour, who admitted that leaving college one year early wasn’t an easy decision to make. “Obviously, I had a lot of good friends at See MLB, Page 19 Week in Sports The battle for the boys’ U-15 lacrosse Northwest Blue division began with eight teams on Saturday, June 6, but in the end it was the Southwestern Youth Association Warriors who emerged victorious. Teams from the Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League participated in the single-elimination tournament at Wakefield High School in Arlington. After scoring a 4-3 win over a CYA team, the Warriors faced off with a lacrosse squad from Vienna. The Warriors answered a 1-0 deficit with five straight goals to grab a 5-1 lead at the half. In the second half, the Warriors scored three goals in the third quarter and two more in the fourth to seal the 10-2 win.

While Bour found himself surrounded by a support structure of his grandparents, parents and his girlfriend, Gregory sat alone in front of his computer. Furthermore, Bour received a phone call from Billy Swoope, a scout in the Mets’ system and someone Bour has known since his junior year in high school, letting him know that he would be chosen shortly. Gregory saw his name pop-up on MLB.com’s draft tracking program before he received his phone call. “I actually saw it on the computer, and I got the phone call within a minute or two of my name popping up,” Gregory said. Playing at Radford and in the Big South Conference, Gregory had yet another productive offensive season. He hit .407 to win the conference batting title and also totaled 10 home runs and 42 RBIs. Even more impressive, Gregory led the Big South with a .518 on-base percentage. Gregory, who became the first player in Radford history to hit over .400 for three consecutive years, expressed confidence when asked how he’d handle the task of hitting major league pitching. “I feel like I can hit the best pitching in the country. Now it’s just a matter of going out and backing it up,” Gregory said. “I always have to work on hitting. There are obviously new things to learn and improve on because if you can hit, there’ll always be a spot for you at the next level.” Sports Briefs courtesy of Sally Parcell Reach Your Community The Washington Area’s Leading Community Newspapers www.connectionnewspapers.com 703-821-5050 www.ConnectionNewspapers.com “Team Purple” includes (front row, from left): Laly Sosa, Kelly Parcell and Bryanna Angello; (middle) Dominique Sidrak, (back row) Lexi Hunter, Haley Koeninger, Vanessa Alayza, coach Erin Rafferty and coach Eileen Rafferty.
