While the economy may have

forced some retailers to scale back

on merchandise or services, the

Army & Air Force Exchange Ser-

vice is actively seeking the assis-

tance of local businesses to in-

crease the product selection troops

and their Families find at their Ex-

change. “Some

shoppers drive up to 40 miles or

more to come to the Fort Drum

Exchange,” said Ken Limtiaco, Ex-

change general manager. “The ad-

dition of local, small, minority,

women- and veteran-owned busi-

nesses can help provide the diver-

sity, value and innovation to fur-

ther enhance their shopping ex-

perience.”

Partner businesses, called conces-

sions, operate in Exchange-

provided space, primarily in the

retail mall area. Benefits include

contracts based on a percentage of

revenue, a variety of space and

merchandising setups and the

convenience of being located with

the anchor retail store and food

outlets. The Exchange also will

assist in marketing and promoting

partner businesses to help maxi-

mize awareness on and around

Fort Drum.

“Despite the economic conditions

we’ve experienced recently, Ex-

change shoppers have continued

to demonstrate a strong demand

for new and unique merchandise,”

Limtiaco said. “Partnering with

the Exchange provides local busi-

nesses exposure to a great deal of

foot traffic as well as the opportu-

nity to serve military Families.”

partner with the Exchange as a

concessionaire, visit

service business manager, at 773-

Is your teen going to work? Most employers require a physical. If your teen has had a

physical within the last year, you simply need to drop off the employer's paperwork and

pick it up three days later. Your child's primary care manager will complete the paper-

work without an appointment!

However, if your child requires a physical, it is best to schedule it before he or she starts

the job hunt.

To schedule an appointment, call 772-2778 or visit https://www.tricareonline.com.

Winter weather is coming, let’s get prepared

Teenagers may require physical for employment
