So police went there and arrested three people. Among them was Jun Wang, 39, of 4107 Marble Lane in Greenbriar. Police charged her with one count each of prostitution, residing in or keeping a bawdy place, operating a massage parlor without a permit and not concealing an erogenous area. Last Wednesday, May 27, in General District Court, Wang’s prostitution and bawdy-place charges were dropped. But she was found guilty of the other two offenses, and Judge Mark Simmons gave her 30-day, suspended sentences for each one and placed her on a year’s probation. Drug Charge to Grand Jury In October 2008, Fairfax County police charged Matt Deam, 28, of Chantilly’s Rockland Village community with three counts of marijuana distribution. According to police, three controlled purchases of marijuana were reportedly made at his apartment and the substances later allegedly tested positive for marijuana. Police also stated that, during an Oct. 29, 2008 search of his home, they seized drug paraphernalia and baggies of suspected marijuana, and they arrested him, that day. His court case was then continued several times. However, last Tuesday, May 26, in General District Court, two of his charges were dropped, and Judge Michael Cassidy sent the remaining one to the grand jury for possible indictment.

Call Judy Pedersen at 703-324-8662. www.ConnectionNewspapers.com The harm caused here is immense.” News Nearly Four Years Prison for Zuiker — Daniel Grooms, Assistant U.S. Attorney From Page 1 “He was a drug dealer in the truest sense — selling drugs for profit,” said Grooms. “He was only stopped when he was arrested [in May 2008] and prosecuted in Fairfax County. This wasn’t a person selling because of his own addiction, but [mainly] selling and also using. The harm caused here is immense; the need to deter is incredible.” In a sentencing document submitted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Grooms, Erik Barnett and Lauren Wetzler, the prosecutors stated that Zuiker’s involvement in the heroin ring ran from summer 2006 through May 2008, making him “one of the conspiracy’s earliest and longest-running participants. He was also among the largest distributors of heroin — acknowledging that he distributed 400700 grams of heroin.” In 2006 and 2007, Zuiker regularly went from Centreville to Waldorf, Md., with Angela Aycock, Andrew Kacvinsky or Anna Richter to buy heroin from Antonio Harper. Zuiker bought some 10 grams of heroin per week from Harper for about a year, and he and Kacvinsky sold it in Centreville. In December 2007, when Harper stopped selling to people from Centreville, Zuiker started purchasing heroin in Baltimore from a source he met through Richter. He kept buying about 10 grams of heroin per week in Baltimore through May 2008. In addition, wrote the prosecutors, “On January 2007, he supplied Richter with approximately 100 Klonopin pills for her to sell on her college campus. Then on Dec. 30, 2008, Zuiker was convicted in Fairfax County Circuit Court of possession with intent to distribute 1,300 Xanax pills. But, countered defense attorney Stuart Sears, “Despite his actions, Kevin is a decent young man — kind, honest and truly sorry for what he’s done. He knows it’s a defining moment in his life and [that] the actions of the Lannes family, law enforcement and the courts saved his life.” Calling Zuiker “out of control,” the past three years, Sears said, “The worse things became for him, the more he turned to drugs — mistakenly believing they’d help him deal with things better.” He asked for a 36-month sentence, noting Zuiker “has 20 years to be on good behavior from Fairfax County” because of his suspended sentence for Xanax distribution. He wanted that sentence run concurrently with the federal punishment and asked that Zuiker be housed in the Butner, N.C., facility because of its drug-treatment program. Then Zuiker apologized to “everyone I sold drugs to, my family and the community. I’m unhappy with my past choices and decisions, and happy for a second chance. Fear and depression fueled my use of drugs. [It] was so rampant, I believed suicide was better than living out my life that way. Being clean and sober has helped me regain my passion, motivation and desires. This situation was my wakeup call, and I’ll have plenty of time to change my life and become a productive citizen.” Judge Leonie Brinkema noted that Zuiker’s just 21 and suffers from “significant and genuine” mentalhealth issues and depression, aggravated by drugs and alcohol. “You were clearly more of a dealer than just a user,” she told him. “But your record is not as bad as some of the other defendants.” She then sentenced him to 46 months in prison, running concurrently with his Fairfax sentence, and said she’d recommend he go to Butner for mentalhealth treatment and its 500-hour, intensive addictions program. Brinkema also placed him on five years supervised release and ordered him to have no contact with any of the co-defendants. He’s also to maintain full-time education or employment, she told him, because “You’re articulate and have a lot of potential.” Richter: 60 Days for Heroin Distribution From Page 1 court to conspiracy to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin. But in a court document filed last week, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel Grooms, Lauren Wetzler and Erik Barnett wrote that Richter acknowledged actually distributing 400-700 grams, from approximately June 2007 through March 2008. When Richter, 20, returned to U.S. District Court in Alexandria, last Friday, May 29, for sentenc- ing, Wetzler requested she receive a 50-percent reduction of the 4657-month federal-guideline sentence because of her cooperation with the authorities. She said Richter kept the Centreville heroin conspiracy “flourishing” by introducing the young dealers to a new heroin source when their local one dried up. “She’s made laudable and impressive strides in addressing her addiction and reclaiming her life,” said Wetzler. “But she caused tremendous damage to others and there still is a debt to be paid.” In their document, the prosecutors called Richter one of the earliest users and distributors of heroin among the Centreville coconspirators. “After meeting a supply source through her then-boyfriend Kevin Zuiker, the defendant personally introduced Angela Aycock and others to heroin,” they wrote. “While away at college, [Richter] developed a source for heroin in See Richter, Page 10 Gibson: 30 Days for Dealing Drugs From Page 1 In a sentencing document, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel Grooms, Lauren Wetzler and Erik Barnett explained that Gibson was part of the Centreville-based heroin ring and the girlfriend of J.R. Quick, “one of Centreville’s most prolific heroin dealers.” She drove him and others to Washington, D.C., so they could buy heroin from Antonio Harper. When Quick was jailed in April 2008, Gibson took over his customer base and bought heroin in Baltimore for resale in Centreville. She continued selling heroin until August 2008. On Jan. 16, Gibson pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin. However, wrote the attorneys, she admitted that, “from approximately June 2007 through November 2008, she was personally involved in the distribution of 400-700 grams of heroin.” They also noted that she provided “substantial assistance” in the investigation and prosecution of the co-defendants and spoke with authorities “well before anyone was charged federally.” Friday morning, May 29, in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Gibson was sentenced. At the outset, Barnett said, “We are not in the revenge business, yet we seek from the court justice. The medical examiner’s office told me recently there’s been a lull in the number of heroin-overdose deaths since we began this process. A lull means lives were saved, and that is general deterrence.” He said Gibson deserved credit See Gibson, Page 11 Centre View South ❖ June 4-10, 2009 ❖ 3 More at www.ConnectionNewspapers.com The County Line Primary Tough Choice for Dems Strong candidates lead to indecision? By Julia O’Donoghue Centre View ith the Democratic gubernatorial primary less than two weeks away, Scott Surovell still had not made up his mind about his vote. Surovell, a Mount Vernon resident, is not a typical voter. He is the chair of the Fairfax County Democratic Committee, one of the largest local Democratic organizations in the commonwealth. Surovell is paying very close attention to the race and the three candidates — state Sen. Creigh Deeds (D25), former Democratic National Committee chair Terry McAuliffe and former Del. Brian Moran (D-46). “These candidates are pretty similar on policy. There are subtle differences but they are all strong candidates. I think the question a lot of people are trying to answer is which candidate would be the best to go up against Bob McDonnell,” he said. “I am actually undecided. I have really been struggling with this myself.” Many other likely voters are having a tough time choosing a candidate in Democratic Party’s gubernatorial primary June 9. “It was a tough decision. We are have embarrassment of riches this time around and it was a tough choice to make,” said Greg Zimmerman, a Democratic activist from Arlington County, who would not reveal who he was supporting publicly. “I think, for Democrats, I think this primary is really difficult,” said Loretta Nawakowski, the Democratic Party’s captain for the Greenspring voting precinct, which traditionally has the highest election turn out of any precinct in Virginia. Though the residents are known for being politically active, attendance at a candidates’ forum May 14 on the Greenspring campus was particularly high, about 250 people. Volunteers who have knocking on the doors of reliable Democratic households in Northern Virginia have also found a lot of uncommitted voters. “I am going door to door and a lot of people are undecided,” said Steve Baker, an Arlington resident who supports McAuliffe. Voters may be having a tough time choosing a candidate because the three men in the race are similar in many respects. Deeds, a native Virginian who lives in Bath County where he grew up, likes to tell the story of his mother only giving him a few $20 bills in his pocket when he went off to college.

The summit would not just address job creation but also housing needs and other problems that have cropped up in the down economy. “We need a governor who puts the people first,” said Moran at the Greenspring forum. Deeds and Moran have similar professional backgrounds. Both worked as local prosecutors and are currently lawyers at small law firms. They are also both former members of the House of Delegates. In 2001, Moran replaced Deeds as the House of Delegates Democratic caucus chair when Deeds won his election to the state senate. A fixture of political talk shows, McAuliffe is one of the most recognizable Democratic Party figures on the national stage, even though he has never held elected office. McAuliffe is trying to reshape his public persona into that of a Mark Warner-like businessman, who does Democratic Party activism on the side. He has rescued both a failing bank and Florida home building company during his career. Through these and a few other business ventures, McAuliffe said he has created several thousand new jobs. Deeds and Moran tout their legislative experience in Richmond as an asset. Deeds said he was able to get legislation passed as member of the minority and the majority party in the House of Delegates and Senate. “I am going in knowing that system like the back of my hand,” said Deeds. While McAuliffe talks about needing to win more Democratic seats in the House of Delegates, Moran points out that he has actually done that as head of the House of Delegates Democratic caucus. “I helped build the House Democratic caucus from 33 members to 45 members,” said Moran. McAuliffe, who has lived in McLean for almost 20 years, does not seemed phased by his lack of experience at the Virginia statehouse. The Washington insider is running as a Richmond outsider. “If you are happy with Richmond, I am not your guy,” said McAuliffe. See www.ConnectionNewspapers.com for more. www.ConnectionNewspapers.com News Kacvinsky From Page 1 Court Judge Leonie Brinkema sentenced him to five years in prison for his role in the Centrevillebased, heroin-distribution conspiracy. Kacvinsky was actually slated for sentencing June 5 but, after missing three curfews and testing positive for marijuana, he was ordered to surrender to the court last Thursday, May 28, and was sentenced the same day. In a document filed with the court, May 27, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel Grooms, Lauren Wetzler and Erik Barnett explained their sentencing position regarding Kacvinsky. His offense — conspiracy to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin — carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 60 months (five years) in prison, and the prosecutors sought a sentence within the federal guidelines of 7087 months. They wrote that, from summer 2006 through March 2008, Kacvinsky worked with Kevin Zuiker to obtain heroin for their own use and to sell. In 2006 and 2007, they both traveled regularly from Centreville to Waldorf, Md. — often with Angela Aycock or Anna Richter — to purchase heroin from Antonio Harper. “[Kacvinsky] and Zuiker bought approximately 10 grams of heroin per week from Harper for approximately a year, and he and Zuiker distributed [it] in Centreville,” wrote the attorneys. “Among those who obtained heroin from them were Skylar Schnippel, David Schreider and Joshua Randolph (J.R.) Quick. “In December 2007, when Harper stopped selling to individuals from Centreville, the defendant and Zuiker started purchasing heroin in Baltimore from a source of supply they met through Anna Richter. [Kacvinsky] and Zuiker continued buying [about] 10 grams of heroin per week in Baltimore through at least March 2008.” The prosecutors also noted that Kacvinsky admitted personally selling 400-700 grams of heroin. Furthermore, wrote the attorneys, Kacvinsky “was far more directly involved than he acknowledged at his plea hearing. He actively participated in the conspiracy throughout by contributing substantial sums of money for heroin, by personally distributing to customers and by introducing new customers to Zuiker.” Stressing “the devastating impact” this conspiracy had on the community, the attorneys wrote that “heroin tore a path of destruc See Kacvinsky, Page 13 www.ConnectionNewspapers.com BARBER SHOP 2 00 $ Heather’s Dancewear Boutique Classic and popular dancewear and shoes for all sizes–most at Below Retail Prices! 1st Time Pointe shoe fittings by appointment only.

And they can either walk or run the course.” Harmon worked 20 years for Fairfax County and was director of Residential Services for Alcohol and Drug Services (ADS). He also founded a substance-abuse treatment program for teen-agers. Because of his efforts, seven new residential treatment programs were opened. He also helped expand those at A New Beginning and Fairfax Detox in Chantilly, New Generations in Vienna, plus Crossroads and Sunrise House. “Tim hired me in 1984 as a substanceabuse counselor [for ADS],” said Cook, who still holds that position and works with teens. “This county’s lucky to have so many services, and Tim was a driving force behind a lot of them.” The race is held to remember Harmon and to raise awareness of hepatitis C. Proceeds go to charities including the Hepatitis Foundation, the American Liver Foundation and local drug-treatment centers, including Sunrise in Fair Oaks. Prizes in the 5K are awarded to the top three, male and female overall finishers, plus the top three finishers in 14 age groups in five-year increments. There are four race divisions: Runners/walkers, Fairfax County (703) 961-1200 employees, baby joggers and public safety. Fire and police personnel will compete against each other for team and individual trophies. Registered participants receive custom Tshirts designed by Kay Rankin. They’re orange, black and white and feature an image of a runner. Said Cook: “I run in about 25 races a year, and it’s always great to get a nice, bright T-shirt.” Sports Plus, Battlefield Screen, Cassaday Inc. and The Miller Firm are the major sponsors. And more than 100 trophies, plaques and medals will be presented, as well as door prizes from local restaurants and merchants. They include Potomac Nationals baseball tickets, goody bags from Starbucks and gift certificates from Potomac River Running Store, Ledo’s Pizza, Panera, Foster’s Grille, Chipotle and J.R. Stockyards.

Richter provided critical information about the origins of the conspiracy in 2005 and 2006. Prior to [her] cooperation, the government had very little information about Zuiker, Aycock and Andrew Kacvinsky, and the role they played in the conspiracy prior to Schreider and Quick’s involvement.” In court Friday, defense attorney Jim Clark’s voice broke as he said, “This is a difficult case. Anyone listening can’t help but say, ‘This could be my kid.’” But he didn’t have to proceed further because Judge Leonie Brinkema stepped in and finished things, saying Richter, “more than any other defendant I’ve seen so far, has made extraordinary strides in kicking her addiction.

So what is the point of yanking her out when she’s made such strides and is in a successful treatment program?” Brinkema said Richter had no tragic events in her past, nor any mental-health issues, and came from a strong family. Sometimes, said the judge, “Teens get involved in [the wrong] group. It doesn’t excuse it, though. The most important issue is to make sure they don’t get involved in drugs again.” Clark said Richter’s been in rehabilitation in a place in Florida where there’s a “tremendous support system” for former drug users. Then Richter addressed the court. “My heart goes out to the Lannes family, and [I’m grateful] for the gift of sobriety and recovery that’s been given to me,” she said. “I try to help other women in the program; I make amends through what I do in my daily life. I know what it’s like to be on the dark side and I never want to go back there again.” BRINKEMA THEN sentenced her to 60 days community confinement with work release, plus five years supervised release, participation in drug-treatment tests and programs, and full-time employment or education. Richter must also perform 200 hours of community service, warning young people of the dangers of drugs. She must also have no contact with the codefendants. Afterward, Richter’s father said the family was “too emotional to comment” on the outcome, but their relief was obvious, as he and his wife and daughter stood outside the courtroom together in a long and tearful group hug. Heroin victim Alicia Lannes’s father, Greg Lannes, speaking on behalf of him and his wife Donna, said they’re proud Tayler Gibson and Richter can make new beginnings and have so far been successful in changing their lives. “All the individuals in this Centreville drug ring have had their lives saved, not to mention [those who’ve] been spared by breaking up this ring,” he said. “Let’s hope the seeds this ring has planted in our community do not take root [from those] still on heroin who may turn to distribution to feed their addictions. Donna and I want to continue to bring drug awareness in our community to help prevent this from happening. Our dream is that Alicia’s tragedy will, in the end, be a positive impact to our community.” www.ConnectionNewspapers.com News Gibson From Page 3 for stopping her drug using and selling after Fairfax County police targeted her in August 2008, and he appreciated her help providing information about “the players and manner of operation of the conspiracy.” But he said prison was appropriate for her because “she engaged in a serious crime and … became a good dealer.” Defense attorney Greg Beckwith said his client was a Brownie, Girl Scout, field hockey and soccer player and member of Young Life, and a “wonderful photographer.” And, he added, “When Alicia Lannes was first hospitalized [for a heroin overdose], Tayler drove the lead car to take her there.” When Gibson was 15, her mother had a brain bleed and was in a rehabilitation hospital for a year so, said Beckwith, Gibson had “relaxed supervision. I don’t think she had the willpower to say no to friends like J.R. Quick.” Although she “went astray for 14 months,” Beckwith said she’s received comprehensive addiction treatment since last August and is employed. “Tayler Gibson is salvageable,” said Beckwith. “Mike Cantrell, a prior juvenile probation officer, referred her to me. He said she’s pulled herself up and persevered; and from the day I met her, she’s come a long way.” He requested that she serve at least half her sentence in home confinement, and then Gibson stood and addressed the court. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to change my life,” she said. “I’ve learned so much about myself and addiction and want to be the best person I can be. I’ve made horrid decisions that affected people, and I’m sorry for that.” In response, Judge Leonie Brinkema said Gibson’s case was an ideal one for a work-release sentence. “An important part of rehabilitation is for the defendant to have regular contact with civilian treatment programs, which are better than prison programs,” she explained. “This is a 20-year-old defendant who suffered a personal tragedy as a young adolescent, but turned her life around.” Addressing Gibson, Brinkema said, “You’ve worked a significant amount of months. Incarceration would mean you’ll lose employment and contact with civilian drug-treatment programs.” The judge then sentenced her to 30 days in prison, to be served on weekends, plus five years supervised released. Gibson must also continue drug treatment, as well as any mental-health treatment See Gibson, Page 13 www.ConnectionNewspapers.com Complete Dental Care for the Entire Family BRUCE R. HUTCHISON, D.D.S.

Centre View Bulldogs will face Frank W. Cox at 8 p.m. ven one of the game officials had been caught up in the moment. When Westfield’s Sean Murnane finished a rebound from in front with eight seconds left in the fourth overtime of his soccer team’s 1-0 win over Cosby Tuesday night, the Bulldogs’ bench emptied and a wild celebration ensued. And after Murnane scored, that official tried frantically to clear the field so Cosby could regain control of the ball at midfield, as if the Titans had some sort of fivesecond magic saved up for this exact time. One problem: The fourth overtime in high school soccer means sudden death; only the first two periods are played in their entirety. Game over. Westfield had advanced. “It was definitely one of the greatest games that I’ve ever been involved in,” said Westfield coach Tom Torres. “It was insane for 100 minutes. It was crazy.” With the win, Westfield improved to 16-3 on the season and will advance to Friday’s Virginia AAA semifinal round — at home. Playing on their home field, the THE WIN, though impressive, might’ve come at a cost. As he picked up a pass from teammate Irvin Herrera late in the fourth overtime, Murnane fired a shot and hit the right post. And as the ball caromed off the post to Murnane’s left, he chased it down and regained control. Another problem: As Murnane moved, a Cosby defender ran into the side of his right knee. Though he was able to continue — later chalking it up to a sudden adrenaline rush — Murnane hurried after the game to ice his knee, which has never caused him significant trouble in the past. If Murnane, who had an MRI late Wednesday, cannot play, Torres may be forced to face Frank W. Cox (19-2-1) without his team’s leading scorer, who has 23 goals and 11 assists this season. “All you can do is hope,” said Torres, who said that because Cosby plays a system with four defenders, five midfielders and one forward, he very well may do the same if Murnane can’t play, moving Herrera (18 goals, 18 assists) up top. Murnane nearly eliminated the By Jason Mackey E Photo by Robbie Hammer/Centre View With Sean Murnane’s status (knee) unclear for Friday’s Virginia AAA state semifinal match with Cox, Irvin Herrera’s role may increase dramatically for Westfield’s boys’ soccer team. need for overtime altogether against Cosby. Eleven minutes into the second half, he fired a blistering shot at Cosby’s goalkeeper, who, despite leaning the opposite way, was able to get the tip of his hand on the shot and deflect it away. “I think we just kinda wore them down,” Torres said. “We just constantly pressured them.” WESTFIELD’S WIN also punched a ticket home. Torres said that ever since last season, a primary goal for his team has been to still be playing soccer when the state playoffs shifted back to Westfield for the annual Spring Jubilee. Many expected last year’s team to make it back to Westfield, but Murnane transferred to Herndon for a season, leaving the Bulldogs without their best player. But with Murnane back this spring, the expectations have been many. And with only four seniors on this year’s team, the Bulldogs might not totally grasp the significance of the moment, although the tangible benefits of not having to drive five hours for a game are fairly obvious. “It takes them a while to understand what you get,” Torres said. “You get a little advantage there because you don’t have to do any of the traveling. You can do everything you would normally do on a game day.” A third problem: The advantages, though, may only exist in theory because in the Concorde District tournament — at Westfield — the Bulldogs were bounced in the semifinals by Centreville. “We obviously need to make sure that the boys have the right mentality because we didn’t fare well [at home] in our district tournament,” Torres said. “We definitely want to get back home and play as well as we can.” Week in Sports Moehler Vulcan-ized Under the Lights On Friday, May 15, the Chantilly/Southwestern Youth Association Little League Challenger baseball team — the Nationals — teamed up with the U-12 Chantilly Raiders for a fantastic night of food and baseball under the lights at Chantilly Park. The evening started with a dinner buffet donated by Red Hot’n Blue, CiCi’s Pizza and Moe’s Southwest Grill. The families then packed the stands and cheered while the excited Challenger squad took the field, batted and ran the bases. The Raiders, meanwhile, helped out in the field, the dugouts and at the plate, encouraging, cheering and coaching along the way.

The Chantilly Raiders include Evan Baker, Cameron Cardinal, Parker Crenshaw, Wesley Coleman, Brett Dschuhan, Mick Glakas, Kordell Hutzell, Jacob LaFlamme, Zack Perine, Ryne Siesky, Ryan Trzaskoma and Matt Ventrelli.

Moehler led Paul VI with 14 goals and 16 assists last fall and was a driving force behind the Panthers’ run to both the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference and Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association semifinal rounds. He was also a first team All-VISAA and third team All-WCAC selection. The Vulcans play NCAA Division II soccer and compete in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

It costs about $8,000 to put on the race, with the T-shirts and trophies being the biggest expenses. But Cook wouldn’t dream of stopping. “We start working on it in January and, after 10 years, it’s what I do, each spring,” he said.

And, wrote the attorneys, “These crimes were serious ones that placed others in danger.” They also believed that, since pleading guilty in March, Kacvinsky hasn’t taken his situation seriously. “[He] minimized his conduct and displayed little contrition at his plea hearing,” they wrote. “Since that time, he repeatedly has violated the conditions of his supervision.” Now, though, he’ll be under close supervision — for the next five years.
