Albert Gray of Five Star Food Marts has been named a Healthy Kentucky Policy Champion for his contributions to preventing the sale of tobacco products to underage consumers of the convenience stores.

Gray served on the TRUST advisory council to ensure that the training content was effective, made a Five Star store available for training videos, and has been a voluntary consultant to the program.

"Thanks to his enthusiastic support, the TRUST program has been successful in reaching over 6,500 retail staff throughout the state," Cambron said.

Five Star has maintained a 97.6 percent compliance rate for tobacco inspections by the Food and Drug Administration, according to Koleen Slusher, director of the behavioral health in the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services.

Gray said, "I know one thing to be true of all addictions: Prevention is the absolute first line of defense."

Gray, of LaRue County, is now eligible for the Gil Friedell Health Policy Champion award, which comes with a $5,000 grant from the Foundation to be given to a Kentucky-based nonprofit of the winner's choice. The winner of the Friedell award will
