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." orPORT UIGGt' RS MORGAN SMTT H/fa m« f nwM Grigory Rlkhoft, human right analyst, dlscusaas the growing problem of hate crimes In Lane County. 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. | Here to serve all I of your needs 5 ( )/ < Dill SC . lilt If (III t \( t / 'HOMS l<> ( \ ( n I till A 1/icLOSr I'ii l .imptis • SO I I I ()/>t n I \ 11 \ da\ uu • -lit. im$3 khor Ensombla piu-\ yutMa Jiw. iith $3 (In tiueniny af tie\t\anu mu.\u with Qrlsmog Own S:3C pjn.
