here’s still no cure for the hepatitis C that claimed Tim
Harmon’s life in 1999 at age 51.
But it’s hoped that funds raised
by a 5K race in his honor will help toward
that goal and also educate the public about
this disease.
The 10th Annual Tim Harmon Memorial

Woman Given Suspended
Sentence for Lack of Permit
Fairfax County police officers and zoning inspectors received
information on Friday, March 13, about a massage parlor at 6201
Leesburg Pike, No. 400, operating without a proper permit. 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.
Free Carseat Inspections

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

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

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

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.
McAuliffe, a McLean resident, started a
driveway paving business at 14 years old
in upstate New York so that he could pay
for school.

City of Alexandria and Fairfax County, recalls when he father was laid off and his

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.

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

lot of them knew Tim and worked with
him; others come to support friends and
family members with hepatitis C. 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.
Silent auction items include signed footballs by Brian Griese of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his father Bob Griese, the Hall
of Fame quarterback from the Miami Dolphins; a baseball signed by Washington
Nationals outfielder Elijah Dukes; and gift
certificates for rounds of golf at Osprey Bay
Golf Course.
Adding to the fun is a live, classic-rock
band, The Sock Monkeys, who’ll entertain
before, during and after the race. “They’ve
played every year, since the first year, and

However, the attorneys also
noted Richter’s “substantial assistance in the investigation and

Prior to [her] cooperation, the

to Schreider and Quick’s involvement.”

Jim Clark’s voice broke as he said,
“This is a difficult case. Anyone listening can’t help but say, ‘This

a glowing letter about her. 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.”

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

‘Insane’ Win Brings Bulldogs Home
In 1-0 victory over Cosby, forward
Sean Murnane hurts knee, his
status questionable for Friday.
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

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.”

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. For more information on Chantilly/SYA Challenger baseball, contact head coach Sean Fitzsimmons at [email protected].
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. The Challenger team
includes Meredith Cripe, Hailey Fitzsimmons, Jacob Franchi, Bradley Hatfield,

Chris Moehler, a senior boys’

bars, juice and soda will be available.
“Last year, we raised nearly $13,000 and
had 700 participants,” said Cook. 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.
Literature in the race packets also helps

was discovered through a routine blood test
but, unfortunately, there’s no vaccine for
this silent killer. For more information, call

Harmon left behind a wife and two

associates once he and his co-conspirators
made it readily available in the Centreville
area.” They also stated that Kacvinsky
needed to be stopped from “continuing
down a path of drug abuse and criminal
conduct, while allowing him ample time to
build a productive life after [being] released
from prison.”
Both as a juvenile and an adult, he’s been
involved in crimes involving violence or the
threat of violence, plus weapons. 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.

“Because your story would be helpful to

them.”

Regarding “Victim Accuses Former Coach” (Centre View southern edition, May 28-June 3):
According to the Catholic Diocese of Arlington,
John E. Hamilton, now of Centreville, was a oneseason coach at Bishop Ireton High School for the
1999 baseball season. Regarding Paul VI, he was
