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.” Anyone interested in working at Phoebe can learn more about available positions and apply for jobs by visiting www.phoebehealth.com/ careers. 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. The University of Georgia • Cooperative Extension Service 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. For more information, call the Lee County Extension Office at 759-6025 or email me at collinsd@uga.edu
