How do we protect our communities—from issues related to addiction? Prescription and non-prescription drugs have a complicated history in our society. Health care providers and community members alike are seeking ways to deal with addiction—both through primary prevention and through treatment. Today we speak with Central Maine Medical Center chief family medicine physician Dr. Dave Salko and Jim Godbout , co-chair of the Red Ribbon Committee of the Biddeford Saco Rotary, about their efforts in this area. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2016/05/pain-addiction-prevention-242/
We never know what silent battles those among us might be engaged in. Local businessman Jim Godbout faced a series of losses—physical, emotional and social—as a child. Through self-care and healing techniques like yoga, acupuncture and healthy eating, Jim has created a full and happy life, rising above problems like epilepsy, encephalitis and the loss of his twin brother at the age of five. Jim embodies the quality of resilience to which most of us aspire. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2015/05/resilient-life-192/
I sent an email out to Jeff Gagnon and Jim Godbout and asked them five basic questions about ground source heat pumpHeating and cooling system in which specialized refrigerant fluid in a sealed system is alternately evaporated and condensed, changing its state from liquid to vapor by altering its pressure; this phase change allows heat to be transferred into or out of the house. See air-source heat pump and ground-source heat pump. installations. In this part of the Green Architects' Lounge episode, Phil and I take some time to review and compare their answers. We also touch on the subject of ozone depleting refrigerants. Then, Phil shares a song by the Brooklyn band 'Here We Go Magic' called collectors.
