Eastside beauty salon, a place where people who are losing their hair, or who simply want
more hair, go to feel and look beautiful.
Broadway Hairweevers has over twenty years experience in making people look, and feel
beautiful. Our m otto is: *We can do it all. We can even cover the bald."
Victims of serious hair loss disorders, such as cancer, accidents, or very thin hair have come
here to Broadway Hairweevers to regain self confidence in their appearance. Broadway Hair
weevers is located a t 5852 N.e. 42nd Ave., across from Whittaker middle school.
We here a t Broadway Hairweevers can give you the color, and texture of hair you need for
tha t special look. Musicians, singers, actors, actresses, and models, or anyone who may be con
cerned about their image will find a new and rewarding look with lovely, and beautiful hair done
a t Broadway Hairweevers.
Broadway Hairweevers use a special weeving method to give you natural longer, and
thicker looking hair. There can be as much as twenty inches of new hair added to your existing
hair.
Using a machine technique we attach the existing hair to the base of your hair shaft to
create a weft, after which the commercial hair (100% human hair) is attached to the weft thus
forming a bond. This procedure can be com pleted within five hours or less depending upon the
fullness, and style required. However the average time for weeving is generally three hours. Once
the weeve is com plete, your hair can be shampooed, hot curled, set, and blow dryed the same
as you would your natural hair,
Proper upkeep, and maintenance is explained throughly to each client. Generally a two or
three month return visit is scheduled in order to retighten any looseness that may have occurred.
Here at Broadway Hairweevers our clientel includes people from various states, such as
Idaho, Washington, California, and Oregon. Our client base includes children, and a number of
professionals such as doctors, lawyers, actors, actresses, musicians, and athletes.
Due to the privacy, and consideration of our clients we maintain strict confidentiality of their
names, and services received.
Broadway Hairweevers is a full service salon, and we offer the best of services. We are proud
of the fa c t that we have a team of experienced, and d edicated operators who keeps up with
the latest trends in styles, colors, and hair cuts.
Broadway Hairweevers is owned, and m anaged by Hattie M. Porter. Hattie is one of the first

Governor Neil Goldschmidt, Welcoming Remarks
Bias Crimes Conference
I'm very glad to be here w ith you on
Halloween. You know, Halloween is
one o f tw o late autumn evenings on
which people who have had their door
bells constantly rung by w eird-looking
creatures setllcdown to watch something
scary on T .V .
The other is election n ig h t
And it was about this time o f year in
1986 when I was running for Governor
against Norma Paulus, and 1 was out
walking the streets, soliciting votes. 1
won't say where it happened, but 1 shook
hands w ith a man 1 met on the sidewalk,
and I asked him who was going to get his
vote for Governor. W ithout any hesita
tion, he replied, "N e il Goldschm idt." 1
should have quit w hile I was ahead, but
I had to ask him why. He said, "Because
Norma Paulus is Jewish."
There are some votes you just don't
want to win.
I want to welcome all o f you to this
first-o f-its-kin d regional conference on
bias crimes.
Booth Gardner and C ecil Andrus
are co-sponsors.
Attorney General Ken Eikenberry
from Washington; Idaho Attorney Gen
eral Jim Jones; and Oregon Attorney
General Dave Frohnmayer - your in
volvement here today attests to the seri
ousness o f the subject at hand.
U ntil recently, when citizens o f the
Northwest though about crimes o f re li
gious or racial hatred, they pictured men
wearing sheets and pointy hoods, burn
ing crosses somewhere in the rural South.
Although Oregon itself has a shameful
history o f Ku K lux Kian activity.
Today, the K K K has been joined by
the Skinheads; the Aryan Nations; Posse
Comitatus; The Covenant, the Sword,
and the A rm o f the Lord; W hite Aryan
Resistance; and others.
What do these organized hate groups
have in common?
First, bigotry and prejudice based
on religion, race, ethnicity and sexual

We here in the Northwest must

located.
I have seen it in the faces ot terror

w hy the color o f their skin has marked
them as targets for harassment and bru
tality.
And I have seen it in the news re
ports o f a Portland man - a black man -
- beaten to death for being in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
There is one other thing these groups
have in common: they com m it serious
crimes to support their activities:
* Weapons running.
* Arm ored car robberies.
* Transportation o f precursor drugs
fo r manufacturing methamphetamine.
* Shoot-outs w ith law enforcement
officers.
The number o f these incidents o f
violence and prejudice continues to in
crease throughout the country.
Not just in the Northwest, but eve
rywhere.
We must recognize it fo r what it is:
hostile, organized group activity that, i f
le ft unchallenged, w ill divide and de
stroy our nation.
This conference sends the message
that combatting this particular kind o f
organized crim inal behavior requires a
special response from our law enforce
ment community.
In Oregon we are doing exactly that
with the Oregon State Police Hate Crimes
U n it that we started up eight months ago
- to the best o f our knowledge, the only
unit o f its kind in the country.

So once again we turn to you, the
"thin blue line," our first line o f defense
against forces that would destroy our
society. And I commend you and thank
you fo r what you are doing here at this
conference.
But you in law enforcement cannot
be expected to solve all o f society’s
problems.
We are A L L victim s o f bigotry and
racial hatred.
It was Dante who said, "The hottest
places in hell are reserved fo r those who,
in a time o f great moral crisis, maintain
their neutrality."
A complacent public has to be made
aware o f the e vil that lurks in all too
many o f our communities. I pledge to
you that I w ill do my part to support you
in that effort.
Let me leave you w ith these words
from a German citizen, w hich I think cut
to the heart o f what this is a ll about:
In Germany they came firs t fo r the
Communists, and I didn't speak up be
cause I wasn’t a Communist. Then they
came for the Jews, and I din 't speak up
because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came
for the trade unionists, and 1 didn't speak
up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came fo r the Catholics, and I
didn't speak up because I was a Protes
tant. Then they came for me, and by that
tim e no one was le ft to speak up.
A half century later, here in Am er
ica, it is time to speak up against the hate
groups. It is time to tear o ff their hoods,
weed out their brotherhoods, and expose
them fo r what they arc - common c rim i
nals and traitors to what Am erica stands
for. And it is lim e to declare that their
thoughts and values belong in the trash
heap along w ith the rest o f the garbage.
