For the past 16 years, Deep Creek Lake has been home to the Deep Creek Dunk, raising funds for the Special Olympics in Maryland and is one of their largest fundraisers. People come from all over the region to participate and it has grown from a two hour event to a full blown weekend with lots of fun activities taking place before and after the event. Check out our feature story on Page 6 for more information. While natural snow has been in short supply, temperatures have cooperated and the folks at Wisp Resort have been able to make snow almost continuously since the first of the year. In addition to fun on the slopes, Wisp has lots of other activities for both skiers and those who prefer more tame activities. Read our Skier’s Notebook on Page 54 for the latest updates.

He is also pleased with the community’s response to his own art created from reclaimed auto parts. Joshua’s works meld the innate beauty of individual gears, sprockets, transmission chains, spark plugs and other worn out machine parts into sculptures for display in homes, gardens and businesses. They are the perfect Valentine’s gift for someone who loves machines and metal! Joshua has been around the automotive industry most of his life and currently manages My-O-Tire Auto Services, a family-owned business in Oakland, Maryland. His daily exposure to multitudes of machines and spare parts sparked an interest in metal as more than just functional components. Over the last decade, Joshua’s metal work that began as a business necessity, has gradually developed into his personal artistic expression. “Our family business was going through some employee changes and I was the only one with any experience in welding or brazing. While teaching our technicians this process, I began making simple little things out of scrap metal. After many ash trays, coat racks “Global Thought” by Joshua and various other non-aesthetic projects, I began Sines (photo by Cory Stieringer) to think about the visual appeal of the pieces I created.” Intended as representational, Joshua’s metal sculptures promote and allow for viewers’ individual interpretations. “My primary goal is to stimulate thoughts and emotions using ‘stuff’ we discard every day without a second thought. In the auto repair and tire business, I have witnessed large amounts of waste that, sadly, we all see as needed. Through my art, I try to convey thoughts about overconsumption and waste, and its impact on our environment.” In addition to metal work, Joshua also enjoys photography. It was one of his first artistic endeavors as a young person. He likes to incorporate metal work and photography by shooting images of his sculptures in various settings, adding additional content for the viewer’s interpretation. “It is my hope that we will all begin to reevaluate what is actually needed and redirect life in a positive direction.” 42 -The Lake-FrontTM - February, 2015 Continued..... February, 2015 - The Lake-FrontTM - 43 Artistically Speaking Continued When asked about his mentors and sources of inspiration, Joshua said, “While growing up in Mountain Lake Park, I had the opportunity to live near and get to know Mark and Laura Stutzman. Having friends and neighbors like them, who were achieving amazing things in the international art community, was an early source of inspiration. Their example still inspires me to strive to do more. When I got older and started my metal work, Josh Gambetta was an enormous source of inspiration. He helped me get started with the sales aspect of my art. Without his guidance, encouragement and the opportunity for exposure he provided, I would still just be making ash trays and coat racks!” Most of objects that Joshua uses to create his sculptures are old, discarded car parts that have been replaced by the technicians at My-O-Tire. “They’re from the cars you see driving around Garrett County every day.” His creative process usually begins with one automotive piece that sparks an idea. “I get an inkling that it looks like something and from there, I begin to add or manipulate.” Joshua describes his creative process as one that flows from the original spark rather than “The Runner” -- Metal Sculpture a planned process. His original idea is often transformed several times on the way to the and Photo by Joshua Sines final sculpture. He describes it this way. “I will be walking around the garage and see a scrap car part that sparks an idea. That idea will nag at me until I start to develop it.” Joshua has found that, for him, the process of creating requested or commissioned pieces is often more difficult than sculptures triggered by his own imagination. “For commissioned pieces, I have to find a part that reminds me of some aspect of the piece that I’ve been asked to make. Then my creative process takes off from there.” After discovering the initial piece that serves as the catalyst for an idea, it often takes Joshua months to find and assemble the array of components needed to create the sculpture that he envisions. Joshua’s creations are available for purchase at The Gallery Shop, 206 E. Alder Street, and at My-O-Tire Auto Services, 133 Weber Road, in Oakland, MD. His work is also available at The Gallery in Lavale, Maryland, and through his own website: www.joshuasines.com.

The Quest for Quality Prize is recognition for hospitals that pursue excellence in continuous quality improvement and patient safety. GCMH received the recognition after submitting a description of its quality improvement processes and measurements of success. In the same week, GCMH was also awarded the Carolyn Boone Lewis “Living the Vision Award” for the hospital’s participation and membership in a state collaborative that is reinventing the payment systems for hospitals in the State of Maryland. This “new” payment is also known as Total Patient Revenue, or TPR. The way that the TPR payment system works, is that hospitals assume risk for the health of the community and are paid based on the population served, Pictured left to right: Rich Umbdenstock, AHA President and CEO; Mark Boucot, GCMH President versus being paid based on the voland CEO; Tracy Lipscomb, GCMH Vice President ume of patients. The TPR Collaboraand CFO; and Carmela Coyle, President and CEO tive consists of a total of 10 Hospitals of Maryland Hospital Association. in the State of Maryland, all of which were presented the award for reinventing themselves to meet the new payment system. Awards were presented by Rich Umbdenstock, President and CEO of the AHA. “Garrett County Memorial Hospital is the longest standing TPR Hospital in Maryland. We’ve been paid on this system since the early 1980’s. This work has led to GCMH having the lowest 30 day readmission rate in the state, which is currently below 6%, versus the state average of 12%,” explained Mark Boucot, GCMH President and CEO. “The people of Garrett County may not realize it, but this work could essentially become a basis for the rest of the nation when considering the implementation of a population based health reimbursement system.” Maryland TPR Collaborative formed in 2010 out of 10 hospitals involved in the Maryland Total Patient Revenue Project. The Maryland Total Patient Revenue Project uses a fixed revenue system to encourage hospitals to decrease hospitalizations. The participating hospitals are the sole providers in communities in the western mountain region and coastal parts of the state. The collaborative’s purpose is to reshape the participating hospitals’ approach to health care, learn from each other’s challenges and successes, share best practices and data and improve care as a group, despite demographic diversity. Tracy Lipscomb, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at GCMH remarked, “I have Continued..... February, 2015 - The Lake-FrontTM - 49 What’s Happening Continued been honored to work with such a talented group of CEO’s and CFO’s as part of this TPR Collaborative.” These 10 hospitals focus on providing greater access to primary care, which keeps patients out of the hospital, and improving quality. Some of the successful strategies implemented by TPR Collaborative Maryland hospitals include: • Creating partnerships with physicians, pharmacists and community groups; • Supporting the primary care physician practices; • Creating primary care medical homes; • Developing high-risk clinics like GCMH’s Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Unit; • Partnering with independent urgent care centers and increasing collaboration with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC’s); • Expanding and supporting Home Health and community resources; • Focusing on appropriateness of admissions; • Improving and changing discharge procedures and follow-up; and, • Increasing health and wellness activities on a regional basis. Umbdenstock recognized the TPR Collaborative in Maryland for their efforts to reducing costs, increasing access to primary care and sharing best practices in a way that all hospitals can learn from. An important element of the Carolyn Boone Lewis Living the Vision Award is that a hospital must be recognized as a leader and nominated by others in the health care field. Participating hospitals in the collaborative are Calvert Memorial Hospital, Carroll Hospital Center, Chester River Hospital Center, Garrett County Memorial Hospital, The McCready Foundation, Meritus Medical Center, Shore Health System, Union Hospital and Western Maryland Health System. The American Hospital Association is the national advocate for its members, nearly 5,000 hospitals, health systems and other health care organizations, and 43,000 individuals.

Total campaign project goal is $1.65 million by the end of 2015. Volunteers for the Garrett County Memorial Hospital Foundation are very excited about the progress of the project and are pleased with the positive response and support from their friends, families and neighbors. “Reaching this level of support would not be possible without the generosity and thoughtfulness of donors. Having the Hospital’s Loar Auxiliary make a lead Campaign gift of $150,000 was a wonderful way to start the fundraising effort.
