That means that youth are exposed to clever, aggressive marketing.” said Sue Patterson, HMP coordinator for Choose To Be Healthy. “The Star Store program is a great step that responsible retailers can take to help reduce Big Tobacco’s influence on kids.” For Cat N Nine Tails store owners Brad and Louise Leigh, limiting tobacco advertisements See STAR page 7...

Wells, and, the most recent honoree, Cat N Nine Tails, a convenience store located at1294 Route 1, Cape Neddick. The objective of the Star Store program is to reduce the amount of exposure to tobacco promotional messaging in retail stores to those underage, such as special price and discount signage, free branded promotional items, general tobacco company in-store posters, signs, and other visible logos. The Star Store program works in combination with NO BUTS! (Blocking Underage Tobacco Sales), the Maine program to stop the illegal sale of

We think the lottery is the fairest way to give everyone a chance.” In past years, registration for the popular fundraiser would sell out in minutes. “It was a real challenge,” said Kelly Martin, event manager for Maine Cancer Foundation. “We would open up the registration at midnight and all the computers would crash because so many people were trying to sign up.” The Tri for a Cure is a “sprint” triathlon, based on a 1/3rd-mile swim, a 15-mile bike course and a 3-mile run. Many of the athletes in the race belong to teams, with each leg of the race tackled by a different woman. “These women are the main focus of the Tri, but I like to remember all the people standing behind them,” said Marchese. “There are thousands of donors and volunteers supporting the athletes.

It’s not an easy decision to join a triathlon, it’s a real commitment.” According to Marchese, entering the Tri for a Cure is often the start of a major life change for the participants.
