Accused family says criminal charges not true SANTA CRUZ An Aptos family charged with beating a 24-year-old man found fondling their teen-aged daughter called a press conference Tuesday to publicly rebut the allegations. Appearing with attorneys James Boccardo of San Jose and Peter Chang of Santa Cruz, the Terrence Ford family denounced the criminal charges as being untrue. Ford, 48, a Stockton attorney with a home in Aptos, had originally called the press conference to announce the filing of a $5 million claim against the county, Deputy District Attorney Roy Hubert for filing the charges, and Sheriff's Sgt. Dave Deverell for investigating the case in the manner in which he did. However, attorney Boccardo said the family will wait to see if they can talk with the district attorney's staff to explain their side of the story before proceeding with the claim.

Deverell has already spoken with Ford once, but other attempts at talking to family members have been unsuccessful for various reasons. Today, District Attorney Art Danner said, "We want to get to the bottom of this. Sure, we'll talk with them." The criminal charges stem from an incident June 23 at the Fords' family home on Beach Drive in Aptos. A handyman who lived with the family for a year, David Burdg, was found fondling the 16-year-old Ford daughter. Burdg is being prosecuted on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The allegations against three Fords, Mrs. Susan Ford's 73-year-old mother, and two women who live in the home, come from what may have followed when the Fords found their daughter with Burdg. The charges include that Burdg was beaten with a baseball bat between the legs and on the genitals, burned with a cigarette on the left cheek, struck with a stone figurine, and hit with a wastepaper basket. The criminal complaint alleges false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to commit mayhem and assault with intent to commit great bodily injury. Said Ford, "We're people who acted with the utmost restraint." He said he was extremely angry that his daughter was being molested and may have said things in the heat of the moment.

He distributed to the press a copy of a medical report which shows, he said, that Burdg was not injured seriously. Today, District Attorney Danner said if it was just a simple case of a family getting upset and hitting the young man once the criminal charges would not have been filed. Attorney Chang, for the family, said, "Any violence which may have been done was done within the first five minutes that of the violence was done by his (Burdg's) own Peggy Burdg told the press conference she hit her brother with a plastic basket which broke "and that was the only time he was hurt." Mrs. Ford said she may have hit Burdg, but categorically denied burning him on the face. She said the first time the cigarette burns were observed was six days after the incident.

But two deputies said they saw the burns on his face the day of the Burdg's arrest. And Burdg's parents, who live in Lodi, said when they were called to the Aptos home, they observed two burn marks on their son's face. Burdg said he and his wife "decided to play along with the program (of calling the sheriff's office) to get him out of the Burdg observed two cigarette cheek, a cut near his hairline stitches, a "busted up and his legs. "I told my son, 'If you've said Mrs. Burdg.

are going down to chew him Fashion sales probed SANTA CRUZ The County Consumer Affairs office is investigating complaints against Sabrina International Fashions of Hong Kong, Santa Clara and Tarzana. At least five county residents have told consumer affairs watchdog Gloria Lorenzo that they placed orders with the company over a year ago for men's and women's clothing. They have received either none or only partial shipment of their orders. Lorenzo said the county negotiated a settlement with a representative of Sabrina Intl. Fashions.

It called for fulfilling the orders or paying back the money by early July. The deadline has come and gone and still the orders have not been filled, said Lorenzo. In one case, a Santa Cruz man ordered a suit and six shirts. Lorenzo said the only item the man has received so far is the suit. According to Lorenzo, the company operated in this county by advertising a two-day opportunity to place the orders at a local hotel.

Customers were told the orders would take several months to fill because they involved placing an order with a Hong Kong manufacturing firm which obtained its material from England. Customers were told that delivery times varied considerably. Lorenzo said at least two customers have not received any part of their order. Three others have been sent part of their order, but are waiting for the remainder. Lorenzo said she would like anyone who thinks he or she has not received their order, and who wants to file a complaint, to pick up a form at the Consumer Affairs office, 701 Ocean Room 240, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, or send a selfaddressed stamped envelope along with a request for a complaint form.

Lorenzo said the investigation into the company's activities is continuing to determine how many other customers have not received their orders. CSU board considers report LONG BEACH (AP) Sonoma State University President Peter Diamondopolous, facing the most serious threat to his sixyear tenure, said today he expects to retain his post after California State University trustees debate his administration. Diamondopolous, 55, defended his tenure at Somona and said he didn't know whether his strongwilled style would change as a result of any action today by trustees. The CSU board planned a closed session this afternoon in which they were to consider a report on Diamondopolous prepared by five educators at the request of CSU Chancellor W. Ann Reynolds.

"Controversy is Diamondopolous told The Associated Press prior to the trustee's secret meeting. Asked whether he expects to be president come Thursday, he said, "I think so." Sonoma's faculty has criticized the Greek immigrant for what it considers his autocratic administration. The faculty's Academic Senate has thrice censured Diamondopolous, and earlier this year a special investigation by the American Association of University Professors resulted in a formal censure. That means the national association recommends professors in search of a job avoid Sonoma. Diamondopolous countered that the AAUP's practices conflict with those established by the 19-campus CSU system.

He also defended layoffs of 14 tenured professors in spring 1982 as an unavoidable response to shifting student interests.

Boudreaux said he was called about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday by Ernest Ashford, LeBlanc's stepfather, who found the bodies of Randy Perry and LeBlanc in a house. Boudreaux said he went around the corner to the Perry home and found the other three victims. The time of death was unknown pending an autopsy report, but a heavy stench pervaded the area where the bodies were found, he said. "It's hard to determine (when they died)," he said.

"It's a good possibility that it was The Perrys had returned from vacation Sunday and had not been seen since, he said. Handguns, a shotgun and perhaps more weapons may have been used for the killings, the chief said. "In Perry's house, some of them were in bad shape, like they were all hit in the face, the head area. Especially the little baby," Boudreaux said. Residents of Lake Arthur, a rural community of about.

They're hearing noises in their attics. They're seeing things outside. They're running us crazy. Ervin Trahan, chief of detectives for the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff's Office, told reporters that several diagrams and messages relating to the killings were found at one of the houses. "I saw some of Boudreaux said.

"Crazy stuff, stuff he's got written down, all kinds of little, crazy drawings." Boudreaux said that about a month ago Ma had talked about going to Tijuana.

SC police launch drug crackdown SANTA CRUZ In response to community pressure to do something about proliferating drug sales in public areas, Santa Cruz police have launched a new program aimed at cracking down on drug dealers. The program is a joint operation involving the patrol and detective divisions of the police department, said Lt.

Keith Duel. It's geared toward identifying and arresting persons selling and possessing drugs in public areas parks and places. One man was arrested with about a quarter of marijuana on him at San Lorenzo Park Monday, Duel said. Another man was cited for possessing marijuana which he allegedly had bought in the park. The men were observed by detectives making the transactions at 1:30 p.m.

San Lorenzo Park is just one of the places police plan to watch in the coming months, said Duel. "Obviously we don't want to reveal where we're going to be, but the operation will be conducted on a hit-and-miss basis in several public areas." Said Duel, "'There are some areas around the city that are more exposed to public view than others. Residents and passers-by observe what's going on and often times give us a call," he said. "But by the time we respond, it's too late and they (the suspected dealers) are gone," said Duel. "We're going to put forth an effort to take care of these he said.

"Of course, San Lorenzo Park has been brought to our attention." In Monday's operation, detectives set up surveillance of San Lorenzo Park early in the afternoon. Within minutes, they had seen what they believed was a drug sale. When they arrested the suspected drug dealer they found baggies of marijuana weighing more than 100 grams (about a quarter-pound, said Duel). Taken into custody on possession and sales of marijuana charges was Robert Lindsay May, 29, Davenport. Duel said May was also charged with sales of LSD (he had 13 tablets on him) and possession of a dagger.

Also cited for possession of less than an ounce was Glen Louis Scott, 40, Ben Lomond. Duel said the arrests were low-key, but the effect of the arrests was a slow migration out of San Lorenzo Park by most of the backpackers who had been lounging in the area. Metropolitan Transit bus and car collide CAPITOLA A Santa Cruz Metropolitan Transit District bus collided with a car this morning, sending one man to the hospital with minor injuries. A Highway Patrol spokesman said the accident occurred about 7:15 a.m. at Soquel Drive and Park Avenue.

A car came around the corner and collided with the bus, side-swiping it. It was not known at press time which way the vehicles were traveling. One man was treated for a concussion at Dominican Hospital and was later released. The CHP spokesman identified him as Charles Percy, but had no further information.
