The Baltimore Sun from Baltimore, Maryland • 48

16 THE SUN, Monday, December 17, 1979 mmm sss siai And now? Shelter for battered women plans to expand its programs The House of Ruth, the city's temporary shelter for battered women, opened in November, 1977, in a rundown Charles Village row house with a small staff of volunteers and $2,100 in the bank. "We had no budget. We had what came in," recalled Mary Louise Mussoline, the shelter's executive director. And as the months went by and the money started running out, it looked for a while as if the shelter might not make it. 1 mt ir ii SfV-.

The boat was named after Dee Russell, tbe wife of the owner, and Mrs. Russell was chosen to christen the skipjack with champagne. The re- results (left) were rather damp, but Mrs.

Russell got some cleanup help from ber husband, Jack (right). The skipjack was built by Francis God-dard of Piney Point and is apparently the first skipjack ever made on the western shore. Mr. Russell, of St. George Island, plans to nse it to oyster.

but the two part-time therapists enable them to expand the the executive director said. to applying for the $51,000 shelter is exploring the possibility setting up another "transitional" where the women could live after existing "crisis" shelter. problem is that we have so many need shelter," Ms. Mussoline that in a three-month period to October, they provided 82 women but were forced to women away. Ruth is the only live-in temporary for battered women in the area, although several suburban counties have programs that find lodging for victims.

gathered by the State Police more than 15,000 assaults on occurred in the state from 1977, to November, 1978, with 7,000 of them in Baltimore city Baltimore county. of the demand, Ms. Mussoline time limit for stays at the shelter 15 days, but it is extended for Mussoline said that the staff tritu the number of residents at the any one time to 20 persons because two-story house has only four They are not always successful. July, 1978, through June of this women and 296 children stayed statistics compiled by the Ruth show. Slightly more than women were white and a majority them were between the ages of 20 stayed one to five days.

It's a really fair added.

percent of the women we' see violently beaten at some point. women we see leave because that if they continue to stay going to be seriously hurt know that their children are going damaged by seeing so much violence They're afraid that their children grow up to be violent or they're be beaten next," she said. Sun Pholoj William Hoti to faith Local Muslims shun controversy, cling But with the help of the city, private donations and matching grants from the state Department of Human Resources, the House of Ruth has survived and grown. About a year ago, it moved into another three-story Charles Village row house that the city refurbished and donated. It now has a $120,000 annual budget, a paid staff of 7 and about 35 "active" volunteers, Ms.

Mussoline said. The House of Ruth provides temporary shelter for more than 250 women and close to 300 children a year. It offers a 24-hour hot line and counseling for battered women and their abusing husbands. But the shelter would like to expand its programs and has applied for a $51,000 federal Law Enforcement Administration grant through the Maryland Governor's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice. If the grant is approved, Ms.

Mussoline said, the money will be used to hire a child-care specialist to work with the children at the shelter, a legal advocate to advise the women and two part-time therapists to work with the battering husbands. The children ranging in age from infants to teenagers have special problems and require special attention, she said. Volunteers come in and baby-sit or play with the younger children, but a professional staff member is needed. At times, there have been as many as 22 children living at the shelter, and some, Ms. Mussoline said, are "really active." She said that the legal adviser would help guide the women through the criminal-justice system if they decided to prosecute their husbands.

The so-called "batterers' program," which would consist of group or individual counseling for those who beat their spouses, could be used as a type of sentence by the court in abuse cases. The batterer could be required to take part in such a program, Ms. Mussoline said. "What happens often now is that the man is released with an order to pay court costs and a warning," she said, noting that many cases never get to court. The House of Ruth already provides limited counseling services for the abus- on an east-west axis.

So, when shoes are removed and rugs are laid for formal prayers, the men face the corner of a basement hallway. The pressures, frustrations and intricacies of Islamic practice in a non-Islamic society were highlighted as the discussion of usury unfolded in language that shifted back and forth between Arabic and English phrases. Charging interest is prohibited by the Islamic faith. And while there are Arabian banks that neither charge nor pay interest, a prosperous Muslim here would soon find that if he gave back interest to bis bank, he wouldn't be sharing his wealth with the poor. Dr.

Shawkat Khan, an ophthalmologist, noted that "unless money is in circulation jobs come down" and people are hurt But he also offered an example of the intrinsic evil of high interest rates: "A recession is coming because interest is going up." Even usury, the subject for yesterday's interpretive discussion of the Koran, could bring shades and gradations as intricate as the pattern of the multicolored rug on which the prayer leader stood. Whether foreign-born physicians or American-born black teachers, this group was described as nearly unanimous, however, on one aspect of the Iranian crisis: the shah should not have been permitted to enter this country, he was responsible for unspeakable torture, and he must now face the consequences of his misdeeds. As they have in widely varying numbers on most Sundays for the last 11 years, members and friends of the Islamic Society of Baltimore gathered together yesterday for more than three hours. The walls of their regular meeting place, Shaffer Hall, one of the newer Georgian-style classroom buildings on the Homewood campus and architecturally a most unlikely mosque, are not constructed "We avoid the geopolitical," one of the leaden said. Whether that general good as their Creator perceives it would be furthered by present policies in Tehran or not is a matter of opinion and opinions among local Muslims on many issues, including their degree of traditional religious practice, vary as widely as their ages and their native lands.

Their dress, their accents and the color of their skin showed their diversity. Most of the men wore sweaters though some were in suits and ties all the women wore long skirts and veils but only a few of the men covered their heads with the traditionalomamah. Some are Egyptians, some are Pakistanis. Some are naturalized, and some are not. Some are Black Muslims, associated with either of two West Baltimore mosques, or with a struggling "parochial" school for the children of Islam on Liberty Heights avenue.

By FRANK P. SOMERVTIXE Religion Editor of The Sun A quiet basement on the Johns Hopkins University campus became an improvised mosque yesterday afternoon for about 20 Baltimore Muslims, a diverse group who shared the brotherhood of Islam and shunned all the controversies of current Iranian-American relations. Prayers were recited in Arabic, only by the men, sometimes as they bowed and knelt ritually toward Mecca in their stocking feet, with little children gazing on or chattering nearby in the arms of their veiled mothers. During discussion periods, the men sat in a tight circle near a blackboard on which there was an Arabic inscription. A smaller group of women looked on silently from the back of the room.

The intervention of Allah was asked for neither side in the current dispute, but only for the general, unspecified good of Islam. arranga your holiday affair now at WARMKESSEL Open Christmas Day Service Begins at Noon A MA Mobile mfl Travel Travel Holiday Dining Award Guide Gift Certificates Still Available Danny's Cuisine for the Gourmet Charles at Biddle 539-1393 DR.
