YARMOUTH, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Yarmouth Fire Chief Michael Robitaille has seen many serious accidents along the seven mile stretch of Interstate 295 his department covers, but says the recent addition of median cable barriers has made the highway safer.

"They are certainly a life saver as far as I am concerned," he stated. 

"It actually brings that car down slower," explained Robitaille.  "There is a lot less damage to the vehicles.  There certainly is a lot less injuries is what we are finding."

The Maine Department of Transportation started installing median cable barriers in 2010 along sections on I-295 and U.S. Route One where the median was less than fifty feet wide between the northbound and southbound lanes of travel.

"Medians were originally designed as a safety cushion, but we are finding, on medians that are under 50 feet wide, something more is needed," said MDOT Safety Manager, Duane Burnell.

Yamuna Body Rolling is a workout that is now gaining popularity in Maine, but has actually been around for the past thirty years. Creator Yamuna Zake started working with the different diameter balls exploring how they could help create space and length in the muscles. What she developed is a therapeutic approach to helping the body reach it's full potential.

Similar to the idea of using a foam roller, the balls are much softer, allowing your body to relax and go deeper into the movements. The results are often instant after working the simple routines. The result of Yamuna Body Rolling is a long list of benefits including muscle tone, increased circulation, nerve root stimulation, and even increased metabolism.
