Charge dismissed against Adamson

<p>A misdemeanor charge of violating a court order was dismissed Monday against Windsor Town Council candidate Julie Adamson.</p><p>The case stemmed from a lengthy child custody dispute Adamson has been involved in with Joseph Pheffer, the father of her 9-year-son.</p><p>Contact between the parents is supposed to be limited to e-mail for visitation issues. There were allegedly two instances in which Adamson went beyond that, but a judge last month found Pheffer had violated the order and, therefore, it was unenforceable, according to Martin Woods, Adamson's attorney.</p><p>The Sonoma County District Attorney's Office agreed to dismiss the case against Adamson, said Chief Deputy William Brockley.</p><p>Adamson, a former town councilwoman, is seeking re-election today. Her personal life became campaign fodder after a letter was sent to her fellow Rotary Club members mentioning the pending court case.</p><p>-- Clark Mason</p>
