The Center has offered a vital service to our community since 1986, and is the only wildlife center within a 75-mile radius of York. They provide wildlife medical services and rehabilitation to an average of 1,600 animals, field over 12,000 telephone calls from callers throughout New England, and present environmental education programming to 7,500 participants annually. Their patients, injured or orphaned because of vehicle collisions, pollution, fishing line, oil spills and other unnatural causes, represent more than 150 species of birds, reptiles and mammals. The goal of the Center is to treat and rehabilitate an injured animal and release it back into the wild. Patients range from Bald Eagles, Barred Owls, Eastern Box Turtles, Opossums, Corn Snakes and the North American Porcupine, to name a few. The Center’s work also includes research and conservation activities. Winter is an especially busy time of year for the Center. As New Englanders we prepare for

mings Market. Boothby noted, “To protect the future of our business we need to prevent as many young people as we can from starting to smoke.” “Reducing the volume of advertising that kids are exposed to can make a serious difference in preventing Maine’s youth from starting tobacco,” said Meg Nadeau, CHCC project director. “We’re extremely pleased that Cummings Market has become Star Store certified. CHCC is encouraging other retailers in the community to do the same.” The objective of the Star Store program is to reduce the amount of minors’ exposure to tobacco promotional messaging in retail stores, such as special
price and discount signage, free branded promotional items, and general tobacco company in-store posters, signs and other visible logos. The Star Store program works in combination with NO BUTS!, the Maine CDC program to stop the illegal sale of tobacco to minors. Involvement of youth is a key component of the Star Store program. Youth receive special training, meet with managers, conduct surveys, and then recommend changes in tobacco signage and promotional materials. A retailer’s Star Store designation can be displayed prominently in the store with a decal. One-third of underage exSee TOBACCO page 25...
