COMMUNITY
Hate crimes on the rise locally
By Rebecca Merritt
Of0ffon 0&&Y l.
The number of hate t rimes in
Lane County is growing ns lot nl
human rights organizations have
fallen vii tim to vandalism and
harassment by white su
prematists. group leaders said at
a news conference Tuesday.
“We have a problem in this
city," said Greg Evans, president
of the Oregon/Washington
branch of National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. “It's time now that wo
stand up as a community."
Evans said the Eugene
Springfield NAACP recently re
ceived a white supremacist news
paper in the mail and has been
a repeated victim of harassing
telephone tails and death throats
The newspaper had a Eugene
postmark and the organization
believes it came from a local
white supremacist group, he said.
Clergy and laity Concerned,
a Eugene human rights group, is
also receiving threatening phone
tails, said Norman Riddle, a
member of the group s steering
committee.
About a month ago. the group's
office was broken into, which
members believe was done as a
hale crime. ClALC's computer, fax
machine, hard drive and data
disks were taken during the
break-in. CALC member Jonn
Lundsworth said.
Ten days after the burglary,
two hate stickers were left on the
office door One sticker read
"Eight Crime: Deport Niggers."

and the other said "Deport Race
Mixers."
"When organizations which
work to promote inclusiveness,
justice and equity are targeted,
wo all need to be alarmed." said
Gregory Rikhoff. human rights
analyst said
Painted swastikas and other
street graffiti is also evidence of
hate crimes in Eugene. Rikhoff
said. Lane County had 22 re
ported hate or bias crimes in the
first half of the year, he added.
More than 25.000 white‘su
premacists work actively in the
United States, said Eric Ward, a
representative of Communities
Against Hate, a CAI-C project. In
Oregon, about 300 active skin
head neo-nazis promote hate
crimes in communities. Ward
said people need to be more
aware of the white supremacist
literature that is being read
nationally by 500.000 people.
Ward said law enforcement
should play a large role in stop
ping hate crimes, but the prob
lem is more community-based.
“We need to build coalitions
with one another," he said.
Kikhoff said the human rights
commission is working with
community organizations to stop
hate activity.
Police take bicycle traffic law seriously
By Ban Moebius
for trie Oregon Oeriy f. meratd
After almost two months of
fall classes, the Eugene police
department is still taking bicycle
traffic laws seriously.
When Officer Kel Williams,
supervisor of the Eugene Traffic
Unit, was asked if bicycle traf
fic laws were being more strictly
enforced than in the years past,
the answer was simply. "Yes."
"The risks involved in not
making a complete stop at all
stop signs, or riding a bike at
night without a light are numer
ous," Williams said
Williams said Eugene has a
higher than average number of
bicycle-related accidents.
Most bicycle infractions are
issued in the campus area or on
the bicycle commuter routes to
campus. A few of the possible
infractions and their fines run as
follows:
• Disobeying a traffic signal.
This includes traffic lights and
stop signs. It is the same fine as
would Ite issued for a motorized
vehicle. A $50 fine
• Lighting violation. Riding
after dusk or before dawn with
out a bike light. A $40 fine.
• Unsafe use of a bicycle on
the sidewalk. It is not illegal to
ride a bicycle on the sidewalk.
This infraction would be issued
to a bicyclist that was endanger
ing a pedestrian. A $50 fine.
• Failure to signal a turn or
stop Hand signals are required
by law. Williams admitted that
this was not consistently
enforced, but stressed that in
court, on matters of liability,
failure to use hand signals could
be upheld. A $40 fine.
