October 14, 1987, Portland Observer, Page 3 W e re Having a Hair Show Citizens Commission Decries Psychiatric Abuse of Elderly The first week in October has been proclaimed as Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Week by President Reagan. Annually, public and private agencies, organizations, and various businesses, nation-wide, participate and support activities which commemorate the contributions that small businesses have made to the U.S. economy. In honor of MBE Week, Waves Hair Design is sponsoring a hair show to be held on October 18, 1987, at the Marriott Hotel. Waves Hair Design is a full-service salon which is owned and operated by three sisters, Veronica, Clarice and Teresa Banks. All partners are native Oregonians. This minority owned business began in 1979 in a small building located on 15th and Broadway. In 1980, it moved to a larger facility located on 33rd and Broadway. Recently the salon relocated to the Hollywood District where it now consists of 8 stylists, 2 nail specialists, tanning, a licensed massage therapist, and a make-up artist. , Waves Hair Design is well known for having an international start which is capable of providing hair care to all nationalities. The staff travels to national hair shows annually to keep abreast of the '®test tec^ “ es hair care, tools and equipment to better serve their clients. Waves Ha Design is very involved in community activities. The salon sponsored a bene for KBOO Community Service Radio Station with over 1600 in attendance, presented an exhibition at the Oregon State Penitentiary; and has put on numerous successful events, such as Portland's first "Hair-a-thon where The Oregon Chapter of Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is very actively informing the citizens of our state concerning psychiatric abuses. The groups volunteer staff have canvassed the state passing out information in their efforts to inform Oregonians of the dangerous activities of the psychiatric profession. They recently set up the Psychiatric Abuse Hotline (503-228-3279) in Portland where people can call an<j report cases of psychiatric abuse such as electric shock, over-drugging, and sexual mole station by psychiatrists. These all too common practices can leave the victims feeling they have nowhere to turn and the CCHR Hotline provides not only a place to turn, but can help a victim of psychiatric abuse docu ment his case for legal action against the psychiatrist involved The gorup is currently informing the public of the danger of Sen®^e Bill 1209, the Medicare Ambulatory Health Services Access Act. This B il, while appearing to help the elderly citizen by giving more psychiatric treat ment, is in fact increasing funding for electric shock treatment , w ic ruin the last years of a person's life with permanent brain damage and memory loss. SB1209 allows psychiatrists to perform an unlimited amount of electric shock on elderly women and men and be reimbursed for 80% of the treatment as often as the psychiatrist wants to. CCHR believes we must safeguard the last years of our parents and grandparents lives and protect them from this psychiatric barbarism. The group urges all citizens to write Senators Mark Hatfield and Bob Packwood, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510, urging them to vote against the stylists worked 24 hours non-stop.
