level of care we are able
to provide the people of
southwest Georgia,” said
Scott Steiner, Phoebe
President & CEO.
The new employees
will represent a payroll
increase of more than
$10 million. “That will
have a huge impact on
our region’s economy.
It’s equal to a major
new industry opening a
facility in our area. For
decades, Phoebe has
been one of the primary
engines driving south
west Georgia’s economy,
and we will continue to
be,” Steiner said.
Phoebe is investing
in new jobs across its
health system. Most of
the jobs are clinical posi
tions needed because of
Phoebe’s market growth,
but they also include
positions such as guest
relations representatives
to better meet the needs
of patients when they are
in the hospital and after
they are discharged, as
well as personnel to staff
a state-of-the-art educa
tion and training simu
lation lab Phoebe will
construct on its main
campus.
“Many of the services
we are expanding or
adding address gaps
in our communities or
target underserved pop
ulations. Our primary
goal with this job growth
is to improve access to
quality care for people
throughout southwest
Georgia, so they don’t
have travel far from
home to get the health
care they need,” Steiner
said.
Phoebe’s budget for
fiscal year 2020 also
includes investments
in current employees,
including $4.6 million in
pay increases. That 3%
overall increase includes
raises and market-based
compensation adjust
ments.
“Forbes Magazine
recently named Phoebe
one of the best employ
ers in Georgia. We offer
outstanding benefits,
competitive pay and a
fulfilling work environ
ment. One of our newest
benefits is the ability to
help nurses pay off their
student loan debt each
month while working
at Phoebe,” said Tony
Welch, Phoebe Chief
Human Resources Offi
cer. “We have also built
a strong new recruitment
team to amp up our
efforts to recruit high
ly-skilled and capable
candidates at all levels of
our organization.”

Figure Drawing Class Set For Sept
11 At Albany Museum Of Art
Special to the Ledger
Albany area residents
will have an opportunity
on Wednesday, Sept 11,
2019 to take a drawing
class from artist William
Downs, whose work
is currently showing
in the Figure Forward
exhibition at the Albany
Museum of Art.
Downs also will join
with fellow Figure For
ward artists Jill Frank
and Jaime Bull on Thurs
day, Sept 12, 2019 as
they discuss their work
with museum guests.
The panel discussion
titled Body Image: A
Conversation with Con
temporary Artists will
be moderated by Annie
Vanoteghem, director of
education and public pro
gramming at the AMA.
“Participating in a
figure drawing work
shop taught by William
Downs is a special op
portunity,” Vanoteghem
said. “He has extensive
experience drawing the
figure from life, and
he creates a dreamlike,
timeless quality in his
work from combining
that with historical refer
ences.”
Downs earned his MFA
from the Mount Royal
School of Art at Mary
land Institute College of
Art in Baltimore, Md.,
and his BFA in painting
and printmaking from
Atlanta College of
Art. He is a lecturer in
drawing and painting at
Georgia State University
in Atlanta.
The Sept 11 workshop,
which is aimed at adults,
will be 5:30-8 pm. The
cost is $50 for AMA
members and $65 for
non-members. Space
is limited for the class,
so early registration is
suggested. To sign up,
contact Vanoteghem at
229.439.8400.
“The workshop is for
participants of all skill
levels,” Vanoteghem
said. “We’re going to
conduct it in a relaxed,
friendly atmosphere so
everyone will be com
fortable. You’re materials
will be provided, so all
you’ll need to do is show
up, learn and enjoy the
evening.”
There also will be a
chance to meet Downs
the next evening. He,
Bull and Frank will
discuss their work with
guests at 6 pm on Sept
12 at the AMA. Body
Image: A Conversation
with Contemporary
Artists is free and open
to the public.
“Through William
Downs’ drawing, Jaime
Bull’s sculpture and Jill
Frank’s photography,
visitors to the Figure
Forward exhibition gain
a valuable new per
spective on the female
figure,” Vanoteghem
said. “We are happy that
we could get all three
here to talk with muse
um guests about how
their work addresses the
movement of the body,
identity, human rela
tionships and even the
concept of beauty.”
Bull’s artworks ap
proach bodies—specif
ically women’s bod
ies—with affectionate
humor and a celebratory,
feminist perspective.
Both Down’s figure
drawing workshop and
Body Image: A Conver
sation with Contempo
rary Artists take place
during National Arts in
Education Week, which
starts Monday, Sept 9.

Resurrection
Ferns
Doug Collins, Lee County
Extension Coordinator
Putting knowledge toWorkU
Resurrection ferns growing on a pecan tree.
Resurrection Ferns
Resurrection ferns
are very noticeable
now. With the foliage
gone from pecan trees,
the green foliage of
the resurrection ferns
standout.
Resurrection ferns
live on the bark of
hardwood trees. They
can even live on rocks.
These ferns do not hurt
the tree at all. They
obtain all of their nu
trients from the air and
water and material that
collects on the surface
of the bark. The fern
attaches itself to the tree
with a rhizome.
The resurrection fern
reproduces by spores
that are produced on the
underside of the fern’s
fronds. These spores
float in the air and land
on moist tree branches.
Resurrection fern
fronds can lose as much
as ninety-seven per
cent of their moisture
and still survive. Most
other plants would die
if they lost a tenth as
much water. In reality,
resurrection ferns only
lose about seventy-six
percent of their mois
ture during dry spells.
The fern’s fronds will
appear dead during
dry spells. Within
twenty-four hours of a
rain, the fronds will be
rehydrated and have a
rich green color, even
in cold temperatures.
It is estimated that a
resurrection fern could
survive 100 years with
out water.
