No full textThis 1964 photograph, taken by Asheville Citizen-Times photographer Ewart McKinley Ball, Jr. (1918-1966), shows Collene and Teena Windham from Lee Edwards High School performing in Hubert Hayes Memorial Log Cabin. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University
GUILLERMO GOMEZ WINDHAM: Lineas bio-bibliograficas y unos poemas
No full textThis paper details the results of my research on the Philippine author Guillermo Gómez Windham (1880-1957). Coming from a distinguished family from Iloilo, he was born and raised during the Spanish era. He held a high position in the government office during the American period and carried out prestigious posts in the State administration after independence. However, Gómez Windham had a natural passion for the letters: he wrote original novels, stories, articles and essays, both on cultural topics as well as on political economy. He wrote predominantly in Spanish, although he published some works in English and had part of his work translated into English. In 1922, he was the first author to receive the Zobel Prize for his book La carrera de Cándida. Together with other intellectuals of the period – among them Jesus Balmori, Manuel Bernabe and Claro M. Recto – he founded the Academia Filipina de la Lengua, for fifteen years of which he was director

Ensuring economic security for women : integrated pre and post release educational and supportive services for women at the Maine Correctional Facility at Windham
No full textThe title of this project is Ensuring the Economic Security of Women (EESW). The target population for EESW is women incarcerated at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham; this number totaled 129 as of July 2007. This project specifically targeted those women living in the Women's Unit that are within 6 months of their release date.
The intention of EESW was to increase the number of women released from the Maine Correctional Center that are gainfully employed, as well as to increase their ability to save money, acquire assets and build wealth. By doing this, EESW will ultimately improve the financial status of women released from the Maine Correctional Facility, thereby reducing their likelihood of recidivism. To achieve this, EESW endeavored to increase: the number of employers willing to hire formerly incarcerated women; the knowledge of employment opportunities for women; and the number of pre-release job acquisition and retention skills trainings available to women. The project also intended to increase the number of supports available to assist women in maintaining gainful employment, the number of pre-release financial literacy training programs and asset accumulation resources available to women post release.
The problem that EESW intended to address is the high incidence of women released from Maine Correctional Center at Windham that have difficulty finding work that provides a livable wage and economic security. The effect of this problem is that a high percentage of women released from the Maine Correctional Center live financially unstable lives. The causes of the problem are the lack of focused pre-release employment and financial literacy skills development, the lack of post-release community support, and discrimination by employers based on women's history.
In order to address this problem, its causes and effects, EESW facilitated the following activities: hosting an annual job fair inside the prison; researching and compiling a job opportunities manual for women; hosting training workshops focused on job readiness and financial literacy; and, advocating for the inclusion of women ex-offenders as a special population for outreach within existing community-based service programs. Volunteers of America Northern New England led this effort, and began formal project implementation in June 2007. (Author abstract)Kimball, P. F. (2008).

How Does A Social Enterprise Strategically Manage Its Dual Bottom Line During A Significant Economic Downturn?: A Case Study about the Grafton Village Cheese Company (GVCC)
No full textIn this paper the author used his six months of experience as an intern at The Windham Foundation and its subsidiary business, the Grafton Village Cheese Company (GVCC) to critically analyze strategic management tools and techniques in a social enterprise. This paper reviews the actions that GVCC took to record substantial growth from 2007-2009 despite an economic recession, and the contributing role played by its parent organization, The Windham Foundation.
This paper considers the views of other scholars of social enterprises in analyzing the complexity of managing a dual bottom line organization, and what led to its successes and failures. The author uses strategic management frameworks such as the Resources Based View (RBV) and analysis of some financial accounting ratios to determine the short and long term viability of the social business, GVCC. Lastly, the author suggests ways forward for GVCC and The Windham Foundation which, if implemented carefully, could help them to be more competitive commercially while remaining true to the core mission of supporting Vermont’s rural way of life through the tradition of artisanal cheese making

Growth Sensitivity of <i>Corynespora cassiicola</i> to Thiophanate-methyl, Iprodione, and Fludioxonil
No full text An African violet production facility has relied solely on thiophanate-methyl, a site-specific fungicide that possesses a high risk for pathogens to develop resistance, to manage a devastating Corynespora leaf spot problem. During a disease outbreak in September 2007, 325 isolates of C. cassiicola were collected and 40 isolates were randomly selected to determine the pathogen's sensitivity for mycelium growth on agar amended with various concentrations of thiophanate-methyl, iprodione, or fludioxonil. EC50 values, concentration resulting in a 50% reduction in mycelium growth, were determined and indicate a population that currently is sensitive to all three fungicides. Due to the high risk of the pathogen developing resistance to thiophanate-methyl and iprodione, a moderate risk for cross-sensitivity between iprodione and fludioxonil, and phytotoxicity and visual residue problems with protective fungicides such as chlorothalonil, a fungicide rotation is recommended with fludioxonil as the main chemical selection.
