2C Sunday, November 18, 2018 The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com LOCATSTATE Homeless women veterans on the rise $470 Million in BY BO EMERSON Atlanta Journal-Constitution ATLANTA — Women who have served in the military have the same challenges in transitioning as their male counterparts, but with a few added stresses. Their family lives are fre quently more complicated, especially if they are single mothers or the main custodial parent. They experience, in large numbers, a form of post- traumatic stress that now has its own acronym — MST, or mili tary sexual trauma. And, as a small, but fast-grow ing minority, they are some times overlooked. “Women are invisible as vet erans,” said Amy Stevens, 65, founder of the support group Georgia Military Women and former director of psycho logical health for the Georgia National Guard. This, despite fact women vet erans are, according to Stevens, more likely to be underem ployed than their civilian coun terparts, more likely to commit suicide, and more likely to be homeless. Angela Robinson, 47, knows all about sleeping in shopping center parking lots. “We’re driving around in the middle of the night trying to find a some what safe place to stay,” she said, recalling the time in 2015 when she and her daughter Dennobbi lived in their car. “A couple of times we had security tap on our window. I’d make up something. I’d say ‘We fell asleep,’ I would never tell them I was homeless. Robinson, of Marietta, served with the Army in Desert Storm and Desert Shield, then later with the South Carolina National Guard and the Geor gia National Guard. Sexual harassment in the military made her suspicious and less trusting back home, she says, which had an impact on her ability to get a job. She’s also dealing with hear ing loss and a back injury, but said she wound up homeless because of bad advice, assis tance that fell through and her failure to take care of business. Now, she works part time in administration at Fort McPher son and volunteers, teaching young people economic com mon sense so they don’t make the same mistakes. And she hopes her daughter Dennobbi, now 19, can get over the stress of that chaotic upbringing. Even highly educated for mer military can find them selves in a bind. Today, the military has a greater awareness that there is a problem for female soldiers and has taken steps to provide remedies. Veterans Affairs has begun installing advocates for women veterans in each facil ity and offering to counsel free of charge for military sexual trauma. The state of Georgia recently created the Women Veterans Office to do the same thing at the state level. Harassment still happens, “but now, when it does, it can be addressed, whereas in the past you had to suffer in silence,” said Maj. Carmin N. Nowlin, executive officer and chief of staff with the 787th Combat Sustain and Support Battalion stationed north of Baghdad. Capt. Donna Rowe, 75, of Marietta, said her experience comes from a different era. Women didn’t fight alongside men during the Vietnam War, though women died. “I served in combat. I had gunfire com ing into my triage area, but my job was not a front-line soldier. ” What was the same, was the necessity of maintaining strict boundaries with the soldiers. Rowe was head nurse in the triage unit of the Third Field Hospital in Saigon. “There was no stepping across the line with an army nurse,” she said. She became well-known for helping save an infant who sur vived the massacre of a village by the Viet Cong, a story told in the documentary “Under the Shadow of the Blade.” Rowe served as an advisor during the planning of the Viet nam Veterans Memorial but was let down when the addition of the “Three Soldiers” statuary did not include a female figure. “We decided we were going to get our own monument,” said Rowe. Joining fellow for mer Army nurse Diane Carlson Evans in the Vietnam Wom en’s Memorial Project, Rowe helped raise money and aware ness and worked to get accep tance from the Parks Service. In 1993, 7,000 women and 38,000 men marched past the White House to dedication ceremonies for the memorial of statues representing three uniformed women helping a wounded soldier. “It was the first time a lot of the women had seen the wall,” which includes names of eight females killed during the conflict, said Rowe. “It was the most powerful memorial event I’ve ever been involved with.” storm aid passes state legislature Associated Press ATLANTA — Lawmakers ended their spe cial legislative session Saturday with the state Senate giving final approval to $470M in aid and tax incen tives to victims of Hurricane Michael while also passing a $40M tax break for airlines. The Senate voted unani mously to approve the two hurricane relief bills, which had previously cleared the House. They include $69 mil lion to help state and local agencies cover emergency response costs, $55 million to assist farmers suffering crop losses and $20 million for cleanup efforts on commer cial timberland. Meanwhile, commercial timber growers in 28 Georgia counties declared disaster areas by the governor will able to claim $200 million in tax credits aimed at encouraging them to replant acreage scarred by trees snapped and uprooted by the October storm. The credits will also be available to farmers whose crops were damaged. Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Hill, a Republican said the money would “begin the process of rebuilding this part of our state.” The measures were sent to Gov. Nathan Deal, who quickly signed them into law.

Food service establishments are given a letter grade that coincides with a percentile: “A” (90-100), “B” (80-89), “C” (70-79), “U” 69 and below. Inspections (frequency of) a food service establishment are conducted based on risk categorization. The risk type is determined by the menu items served, the food preparation processed performed, and the previous food safety history in the food service establishment. A new food service establishment that has never served food must score 100 (A) to receive a food service permit to operate. When a restaurant changes ownership, a new food service permit must be issued. To be issued a permit for a change of ownership, the establishment must score a 95 (A) or above with all foodborne illness risk factors and public health interventions in compliance. Permits must be posted in public view at all times. Establishments with drive-thru windows will also be required to have the top one-third of a copy of the most current inspection report visible through each window allowing customers to easily read the score, date of inspection and establishment information, in addition to the copy posted inside the establishment. Copies of the rules are available at the Hall County Environmental health Office. The rules and regulations are also available online at dph. georgia.gov/environmental- health-inspections.
