Let Classified Work For You Call 546-7355 or 1-800-841-5005 Man gets probation in feud with police By JAMES E. REID Staff Writer Judge Cerena Wong placed Edward DeFilippis on three years probation Friday, rejecting recommendations by police, probation officers and prosecutors that he be jailed for "tampering" with a police patrol car and resisting officers in performance of their duties. The judge observed the 29-yearold man's "conduct is absolutely the slightest type of criminal behavior I have seen" in 10 years experience with the criminal justice system.

A Municipal Court jury in October found the unsuccessful candidate for the Santa Rosa City Council guilty of resisting arrest and "tampering" with a patrol car driven by Patrolman Keith Thomas. The same jury acquitted DeFilippis of assault charges. The case stemmed from an altercation in a darkened service station across from the Santa Rosa Junior College the evening of May 27 last year. The episode launched police and DeFilippis on a running feud, and at one point DeFilippis filed a $3 million harassment claim against the department. On Friday, Judge Wong's view of the entire affair echoed in part, at least, the conclusions reached Dr.

John Podboy, a psychologist she appointed in December to evaluate DeFilippis prior to sentencing. DeFilippis has After five hours with DeFilippis, plus discussions with his landlord, Podboy concluded the confrontation between him and the city's police force "certainly ranks as the criminally most minor matter to be elevated to a status of such judicial and media attention." He said he found "no psychological basis to in any way affirm or predict that Mr. DeFilippis has been or will be given to an assault on a peace officer or member of a peace officer's family." While DeFilippis seemed to be "needlessly provocative" in his contacts with police, Podboy said police shared responsibility for escalating the confrontations. "While Mr. DeFilippis has undoubtedly been the moving party in terms of initiating this ongoing drama with local law enforcement, surely wiser heads in law enforcement could prevail and recognize the fact that this individual will respond to other approaches to modify his behavior," Podboy said.

Deputy District Attorney Bernabe Hernandez suggested Podboy's report was biased. He noted Podboy's suggestion prosecutors contributed to a circus atmosphere covering the case. He noted Podboy found that DeFilippis has outbursts of unpre- 'lack of control' dictable anger and seeks troublesome situations to attract the attention of authorities. Hernandez said DeFilippis "has a total and utter disregard for the law." Since his conviction, he has become the defendant in three additional cases involving allegations that he violated orders of the court, he said. "He's provocative.

He's threatening. He's a danger," said Hernandez. Defense attorney Walter Moreno said the same argument permeated the whole affair between DeFilippis and police. "For the district attorney to say Dr. Podboy's report is biased smacks of the same attitude that has prevailed all along," Moreno said.

He conceded DeFilippis tends to place himself in confrontation with police, but not to the extent that warrants prosecution. Asked by Wong if he wished to comment, DeFilippis asked to be placed on probation. He says he believes in the justice system and law enforcement in general. But he said his problems begin when he is stopped by police for what he said are "no reasons." He promised to follow Podboy's recommendations to stay away from high-profile areas of the city. "I'm asking you to give me a chance," he said to Wong.

Wong, noted DeFilippis' "lack of self-control in court." "I could see how your behavior would be totally out of control on the street," she said. A year in jail, however, would be inappropriate, she said. She placed DeFilippis on three years probation with a year jail sentence suspended. She told him his past made him unsuitable for the work release program and any violation of probation would send him to jail. She ordered him to pay a $650 fine at $25 per month beginning March 1, as well as $41.87 restitution to the police department for damage to Officer Thomas' uniform, a $50 restitution fine and a $25 fee for probation services.

She also ordered DeFilippis to perform 250 hours of community service and to undergo counseling. As a final order, she directed him to stay away from the Mendocino Avenue area from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays for a year. DeFilippis later thanked the judge "for her trust." He called the sentence appropriate and said he'd abide by her orders.

And he had a parting word about law enforcement. Reward offered for arrest of rape suspects By RANDI ROSSMANN Staff Writer A $1,000 reward has been offered to anyone who can help Santa Rosa police catch two men who recently kidnapped and raped a woman at gunpoint. An unidentified Santa Rosa business is putting up the reward for information leading to the arrest of one or both of the men, said Detective Sgt. Brad Marsh Friday. The victim was a 41-year-old Santa Rosa single mother.

She stopped at the Marlow Road Safeway on her way home Feb. 2 to do some shopping. Once inside the store, she realized she'd forgotten her shopping list and went back outside. As she reached her car a man came up behind and put a gun in her back, police said. The woman Transit Continued from Page BI Contra Costa County transit tax measure that was approved by that county's voters last November.

Supervisor Janet Nicholas, while pointing out that Sonoma County's proposal should be able to assure voters their tax money will not be used merely to finance improvements to handle new growth, said the Contra Costa plan probably is not the way Sonoma County should go. "Contra Costa ventured into very new ground with this," she said. "But they don't have all of the answers." The Contra Costa plan calls for any new development in the county not to adversely impact specific "performance standards" including the county's ability to provide adequate police and fire protection, sewage and garbage disposal and other needs but to this point few of those standards have been established. The plan also allows each jurisdiction be it the county as a whole or individual cities to set and evaluate its own standards. Sebastopol City Councilman Nick Seniors Continued from Page B1 The board plans to supplement its budget, now made up largely of donations and memorial contributions, by renting out parts of the facility to community groups.

Vintage House leaders also say one of their main goals is to reach out more to young people and different groups in the community integrating them into senior projects and activities. "This building was designed so you could have almost any activity you could think of here for any age group," Sabel said. Future plans call for a computerized gerontology library linked to agencies serving the aging. Sabel said the most important function of the new Vintage House however, will be its roles as simply a cheerful and fun place for seniors to come. According to a survey conducted five years ago by the American Association of University Women, the biggest problem facing valley seniors is boredom and loneliness.

With more than 1,000 members, said Sabel, Vintage House is doing much to address those problems. She added the organization's was driven to a rural area of west Santa Rosa in a van and raped by both assailants. Her attackers then threw her from the car and fled. The victim a escaped. The crime happened about 10:45 p.m.

on a Thursday night. Business owners stipulated the reward money will be given for an arrest. It does not have to lead to conviction, said Marsh. "It was a brutal and intimidating rape," Marsh said. "It is somewhat unusual" that there were two men and one following in a second car.

The man with the gun was described as 35-40 years, 6 feet 2 inches, 230 pounds, dark curly hair, thick eyebrows and a full beard. A front tooth is either chipped or crooked. The second man is in his 30s, 6 feet 2 inches, 185 pounds, Stewart, a member of the subcommittee, said that to succeed, a Sonoma County growth management plan would need to be overseen by a countywide agency with the "teeth" to decide what growth could be allowed without overloading new roads and other improvements. "Some areas are going to have to give up something for the greater good," said Petaluma Councilman Brian Sobel. But former county supervisor Bill Kortum, who touts a light rail system instead of a widened Highway 101, said later in the day that he doubts Sonoma County's cities would "surrender their planning powers" to some overriding transportation authority.

"I'm very hesitant about the idea that the way to control growth is to attach it to this tax," said Kortum, a leader in the county's environmental circles. Both Nicholas and Harberson, however, said the county has little choice now but to forge ahead with plans for an election on the issue. "Good traffic circulation is an absolute requirement for the quality of life, and our transportation network has not kept up," said Harberson. "We're going to have to fix it ourselves, and this is the only vehicle available." next goal is to make sure seniors as well as every member of the community "is made aware that this place is there for them." "This is really rather a novel project representing a wonderful outpouring from the community," said June Sabel, president of the Vintage House board of directors. "But older people need so much more support than they get.

This will help keep our valley seniors healthy." The new 19-room facility offers seniors six times the space of their old quarters at the Congregational Church. The center includes two professional kitchens, one exclusively for the Senior Nutritional Program; a dining room, arts and crafts rooms with running water; a library and lounge, numerous offices, an apartment for a live-in caretaker and even a 338 square 1 foot storage "closet." The center provides office space for nearly all state and local agencies serving seniors, among them Home Care Connections, the Volunteer Center of Sonoma County, Care-A-Van, the County Council on Aging, Senior Day Care Services, and the Insight program for the visually impaired. Casson, whose expectations have always been big for Vintage House, said the facility is even "more than short blond hair combed straight back and clean shaven. They were driving a light colored '80s Ford full-size van. It may be beige or yellow, Marsh said.

It has dark, tinted side windows. Detectives received a report this week of two men in a van who kidnapped a 16-year-old at knifepoint and kept her trapped six hours while they raped her repeatedly. That rape is not related to the Hamilton Continued from Page BI Of the money spent, $9.6 million was to remove 65 underground fuel tanks. Berg-Revoir spokesman Bob Howard said the public hearing was academic. No matter what the Army decides, Berg-Revoir will adjust its plan and the project would proceed.

"We believe it can be cleaned up," Howard said. "Their concern is that sometime in the future, the standards may change. They're worried about the downside use sometime in the future. We'd just shift our uses. It could be commercial, could be open space, could be parkland." Berg-Revoir partner Skip Berg, however, took a harder line.

"If they say we can't put housing on it, if they say we can't put on it, a day-care center on it, we'll say we won't put anything on it," Berg said. "They have a contract (to sell it) for unrestricted use." Rep. Barbara Boxer, D-Greenbrae, criticized the Army for selling the property before having a plan to clean up the toxic site. "They made a serious mistake when they decided to go ahead with the sale," Boxer said. "But they've assured me that this site will be clean.

"I have one concern, that whatever goes on at Hamilton, whether it be developed in housing, a shopping center, or a park, that every single human being who works there or lives there is safe," Boxer said. "What it may mean is that certain portions of the proper- I envisioned." "It's beautiful. It's perfect," she declared this week amid a flurry of moving in activity. The center embodies a little of the dreams of a lot of people.

They stopped him at Sonoma and Yulupa avenues as he was walking home. They punched him in the face and pulled off his Yankees baseball jacket.

The boy went to Memorial Hospital for a broken nose and swollen lip. Earlier that day they stopped a 17-year-old Montgomery High School student as he was walking after school, Sverko said. They tried to take his George- other attack, Marsh said. "We have not been able to develop additional information" on the rape of the teen, he said. Police are asking anyone with information on either rape to phone detectives at 576-5411 days or 576-5342 after normal business hours.

At the request of the firm, police refused to disclose the name of the reward makers. ty will be restricted." Berg-Revoir is proposing to build 2.9 million square feet of commercial buildings that would generate 7,330 jobs and 2,550 housing units, of which half would be for sale and the other half rentals. Critics contend it will worsen traffic on Highway 101, put pressure on Sonoma County to provide housing and services for the workers, and is an inappropriate use of $60 million in redevelopment funds. The proposal has caused Sonoma County to sue and a Novato citizens' group to collect enough signatures to force a referendum. The Army has eight proposals to clean up the 15 acres, which are not a health hazard if left undisturbed.

If the Army was to just monitor the site, at a cost of about $2.9 million, it could still be used for wildlife, recreation or open space. The site could be encapsulated, at a cost of $10.6 million, but then no uses would be allowed. The soils could be partly excavated, sealed in place or washed, at costs ranging from $13.2 million to $30.9 million, allowing uses defined as rural, commercial, industrial, wildlife, recreation or open space. To combine biological treatment with some soil removal could cost $39.4 million, while total excavation would cost $53.5 million. Those alternatives would allow residential urban uses, but still with restrictions.

Walker said the Army will make its decision in April. The decision will be based on cost, what is technically feasible and environmentally sound. saw to it the center would have one of the best and most resilient hardwood floors to accommodate line and tap dancing, senior exercise classes and formal balls.

The youths did, however, steal his Notre Dame cap, Sverko said. On Jan. 27, the gang unsuccessfully tried to get a Chicago Bulls starter jacket from a 14-year-old Cook Junior High student. "They chased him, grabbed him and scratched him," Sverko said. "He hollered for help and they fled." Sonoma County sheriff's deputies also investigated cases involving the group, he said.

Detectives, however, were unavailable Friday for information. England was released from Sonoma County Jail after posting bail. Brinson remains in jail in lieu of $20,000 bail. The juveniles were cited and will be charged through the juvenile court process, Sverko said..
