For a last minute - literally! - local grant application I am looking for help finding three things:

1. a tight, cogent, recently published statement about the value of

health education and promotion to improving community health or a reference for finding it myself. Does anyone have anything or have a reference to a really compelling statement or article?

2. examples of closings or cut backs/downsizing of Department of Health

health education bureaus, units, or services

3. examples of closing or downsizing of professional preparation

program in health education or health education majors.

This will be part of my rationale for an innovative community health education training program.

I would appreciate any help I can get and will gladly share my idea once the deadline is met, if you're interested.

Many thanks for anything you can do.

Subject: Re: Katrina one year later

Bill, Michael and others:

Hard to believe its been a year has passed since Katrina (heck its hard to believe that the war in Iraq has taken us longer than toppling the axis of evil back in WWII --with over a hundred civilians and a couple of American soldiers dying every day-- but that is another rant). During Katrina I was working 24/7 on a house reconstruction project and had the constant stream of NPR news and commentary loudly in the background. I can't even count the number the times that reporting brought tears to my eyes or sent shivers down my spine. Truly it was surreal. Both of your comments help me to stay in that gray area of knowing that things are not black and white. On one hand you have the Times-Picayune reporting the results of a recent study that gives one confidence in who we (and the people of the Katrina effected areas) are:

Quoting: "It turned out that while Katrina caused extensive damage, for some it also stirred unexpected feelings of hope. Nearly 82 percent of those surveyed said they felt closer to loved ones after the storm, 96 percent reported feeling a renewed faith in their own abilities, 67 percent said they were more spiritual or religious, and 75 percent found "a deeper meaning and purpose in life."

Contrasting this hope is a Wall Street Journal Article that suggests recovery is slow and sporadic. In the article they state:

Quoting: "The government of New Orleans, which is struggling to provide basic municipal services, has received -- and spent -- $125 million in direct federal aid. "I've come to see that the word 'appropriation' has very little to do with actual cash in hand," said Oliver Thomas, president of the New Orleans City Council. He estimates billions of dollars will be needed to rebuild infrastructure in a city that independent analysts say has restored only 17% of its bus service, 60% of its electricity and 41% of its natural-gas grid." Note: this is a great visual graph in this article.

Naomi Klein (yes she wears the Liberal label) has recently penned an article about privatizing disaster relief and recovery. Despite her use of inflammatory words, her recent article is worth the read for those of us in public health.
