There arc few principles in this world I disagree with more than the one that says women should rover their bodies thts way. It strikes me as outrageously oppressive, the antithesis of my Western feminist beliefs. And yet, this is America. The woman was not forced to wear the Islamic hijab by a repressive government. No one would send her to jail if a lock of hair slipped out from under her head scarf. In fact, life would probably be quite a bit easier for her if she abandoned her religious hehefs and sported Western clothes. • This is what I love about living in a large city -- you arc conatantly expose<! to different ways of life, and your personal biases are continually challenged. American cities are particularly wonderful in this respect, since so many people come bright Security Inc , dented that the seven women were dismissed for religious reasons l'm actually inclined to believe Argenbright, at least regarding their intent. American companij:s arc used to dictating what their employece wear and will often forbid male employees from h.Vmg long hair or female employees from wearing clothes that are too revealing. The head scarves were likely banned because they went against the all-American image that most U S. companies try to project. , But we need to qucstton that image. This country was founded on the principle of religious freedom. Whether it's a Muslim h~ad scarf, a Jewish yarmulke or a Christian crucifix, America~s should take pride In the freedom we have to express our beliefs. The sight of a woman in hijab should not inspire dtscomfort or suspicion; It should inspire patriotism. . Copvrlghl1- NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.

ReUgious freedom is what it's all abo~t here in search of a plare where they can practice their beliefs peacefully Once they get here, however, tl's frequenUy a different story. And this is particular! y true for Americans who pmcticc the Islamic faith. Because so many AmerICans 'USOciate this religion with terrorism and fanaticism, Muslim Americans recetve more than their share of religious discrimination. And women who wear Islamic dress arc vulnerable to all manner of slights -- whether it's bemg tgnored by a shopkeeper or verbally abused by a stranger. Or fired by an employer. That's what happened recently to seven sccunty employees at Washington's Dulles Airport, who were dismtssed after they refused to remove the head scarves that their Islamic religion mandates.

"I've been through that scenario a hundred limes or more," Luff told The Plain Dealer for a story Sunday. ·"I could have put them in a car and taken off. But was that a consideralion? A viable option? No " On Apnl 17, 1989, Denms and Cheryl Avery, and their three teenage daughters, were k1lled execubon-style m a barn m Kirtland by Lundgren, a preacher who thought he was making a sacnf1ce to h1s lord The murders, wh1ch came to be known as the Kirtland cull slayings, devastated the quiet sem•-rural town of about 6,000 and brought notonety and attention it never asked for or wanted. Previously, none of the cull members would talk about what happened on the mght the Avery family died. But as the lOth ahmversary of the slayings approaches, some are speaking for the fiJSt time about how rehgious fervor and power could lead to cold-blooded murder.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Retirt ng Mark McGwtre for the game-endmg out wasn't as btg a deal for Cmctnnati Reds rehever Danny Graves as what he dtd the previous day. ., ·Graves, who allowed two htts tn 2 , 113 scoreless tnmngs in a 4-2 victory - over the St. Louis Cardinals on , Sunday, had restored hts sha~tered confidence on Saturday when he escaped a bases-loaded none-out Jam m the etghth to keep the Reds altve m a 4-2 loss. "That was the best thmg that ever happened to me, to come in, to not gtve up any," satd Graves, who got hiS first save as the Reds took two of three m the series. "You ' ve got to understand , that's the best feeling ever. "You JUSt thmk there's no way anybody can hit me now, when you get out of SJtuauons hke that." Graves escaped another basesloaded snuation m the seventh Sunday, then he became the first Reds rchever thts season to avotd damage m the eighth wtth a perfect mning. The eighth has been a diSaster zone for the Reds, wtth their oppo- nent sconng the go-ahead run in all four of thetr losses Twtce the games were tted and twtce the Reds led, and they had been outscored 14-1. Graves, who had etght saves la~t year, was among the culpnts. In hiS first two appearances, he allowed four runs in one mning The early troubles of Graves and left-hander Gabe Whtte prompted a pep talk from manager Jack McKeon tn the outfield on Satunday "He satd, 'We're countmg on you to carry thiS bullpen,"' White said. "II's true, that's what it takes Now tt's time to get busy and do our job, do what we're patd for." McKeon, who endured three ugly losses in Cincmnati, said it was JUSI a matter of time before the bullpen recovered. "I JUSt told them, 'Hey,' we know was a good effort," Twtns manager Tom Kelly satd "The guys stayed wnh the game, kept playmg That's always tmportant." On Saturday mght, the Twtns fell behind 6-0 m the first tnmng, battled back to ue n, hut lost 12-7. Cleveland's Rtchte Sexson had three RBis in that game and he dtd tl agam Sunday. "I've felt good the last four or five games," satd Sexson, who had two doubles and a triple Sunday. "I dtdn 't have the greatest numbers before this weekend, but I hit the ball good." Cleveland has won five straight and has put up nothtng but great numbers thiS season. The Indians have a .381 average, 80 htts, 53 runs, 30 doubles and SIX homers tn ftve games since losmg thetr opener. Pnub.~rgh" Eastun Division Yi L &1.

A. He meant that all the systems used to support the Social Security Administrati on's (SSA) benefit payment process are completely prepared lo pay benefits timel y in January 2000 and beyond. Since October 1998, Year 2()()() compliant so ftware at both SSA and Treasury has been generating both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. Q . What if SSA is ready for the· Year 2000 but others who depend on il to issue payments, such as the Treasury Department, are not? A. Since we are critically depen' dent on the Treasury Department to issue checks and on the Federal Reserve to rna ke d"ucct depost·, payments, SSA realized the need to wor~ with Treasury and the Federal Reserve to begin Year 2000 testing early. SSA has . worked very close ly with the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve to ensure Social · Security and SSI checks and direct deposit payments for January 2000 will be on time. Joint. testing for Social Secuhty and SSI payments beganliin March 1998 and was <uccessful y completed. The testin g from SSA, throu g ~ Treasury and the Federal Reserve (Automated Clearing Hou se) for direct deposit payments was completed· in August 1998. In addition , the Federal Reserve has inchlded Social Security transactions in its testing with the finan cial institutions. Year 2000 compliant software has been generating payments at Treasury and SSA since October 1998. . Q. What if banks are.not ready? A. In the event that some banks are not able to credit direct deposit payments, SSA has worked with Treasury and the Federal Reserve lo develop a Benefit Payment Contingency Plan. It provides alternative ways of getting payments to Social Security beneficiaries. In dire need s ituati on ~. SSA fi eld offices can issue third pat'ty payments immediately.

David E. Grooms has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Coun alleging that he was falsely accused of offering free food or other items to officers. The officers said he did so in hopes of obtaining favorable times.for inspections of vehicles to be salvaged. . The lawsuit, filed friday, asks damage~ of at least $1.6 million. Listed as defendants are the patrol's superintendent, Col. Kenneth Marshall, and nine officers. · The patrol and. the officers involved had not seen a copy of the lawsuit Monday and would not discuss it, said Sgt. Gary Lewis, a patrol spokesman. Grooms said he made money driving other peoples' automobiles to a salvage inspection station in Jackson County. He said patrol officers accused him in April-1997 of trying to bribe officers. Grooms was indicted on charges of soliciting or receiving improper compensation. Jackson County Prosecu)or Mark Ochsenbein drc•pped I those charges in April 1998, according to a state court document with Grool!'ls'lawsuit in federal court. · 'Investigators also accused Grooms of perjury for giving conflicti11ig I BY CHARLENE HOEFUCH statements about what happened. . · .
