Nena Citadano loves children, and she wants to make sure they all get nutritious meals.
She is the director of Nutritional Education Systems, which helps small day care providers who tend to six or less children in their homes while parents are at work. Citadano has been running NES since 1992, and currently, her company oversees 650 children in St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Jefferson and Orleans parishes. Before Katrina, NES helped out over 1,100 kids. However, after the storm, she lost about 100 day care providers.
"Now I only have 150 providers," Citadano said. One of her biggest concerns is helping her providers feed their young charges. With rising food costs, that job is getting tougher, but Citadano wants people to know there is help from the government.

Brookhaven Town Board member Kathy Walsh (R-Centereach) and the board's conservative majority discovered Tuesday night that eliminating pork from local nonprofits' diet isn't a simple matter.
Walsh is the co-sponsor, along with Councilman Keith Romaine (R-Center Moriches), of legislation that eliminates "community enhancement grants," the label the town has granted the $25,000 stipends each Town Board member is given annually to pass along to charitable organizations in their council districts. While Town Board approval is required for each grant, the pro forma resolutions are consistently approved unanimously and without debate.
Walsh has both questioned the legality of these grants, and cited the need for tighter fiscal controls in a sluggish economy. She originally proposed eliminating the grants July 1, but that meeting ran long and continued Tuesday night at Brookhaven Town Hall, where the Town Board voted 4-3 - predictably, along party lines - to adopt the resolution.

Teach for America is an organization that helps recruit and place bright college graduates and professionals as temporary teachers in needy schools. The non-profit group wins lots of kudos for its intentions and work. It has grown from modest beginnings in 1990: $2.5 million and 500 teachers. Today, the group says it has 5,000 teachers in training - and the 2007 budget was $75 million.
Funding comes from a mix of public and private sources. According to Teach for America's financial disclosures, about a third of its money is your tax dollars - because it comes from local school districts, and state and federal government. But a recent audit by the Education Department Inspector Genera raises the question: Has this group grown too quickly without the proper accounting systems in place?
The I.G. examined just a small slice of Teach for America's federal grant expenses and found the group was unable to properly account for half the money audited. Citizens Against Government Waste spokesman Leslie Paige says that stat is "astonishing."
