2A Daily News – Friday, January 4, 2013 Community people&events Military — East Navy Seaman Lucas S. East, son of Laura L. and Donald A. East of Corning, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, East completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ''Navy'' flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. East is a 2010 graduate of Corning Union High School.

Practical, simple advice to feel better quickly Like so many thoroughbreds exploding onto the track at Churchill Downs, the gates have burst wide and the race to resolutions has begun. "Here we go again!" was first out but is already off the pace. "This Time It'll Be Different" is fading quickly, but, the across the board favorite "Throw in the Towel" is once again moving up rapidly on the inside. Alas, 'tis January, and we have entered the silly season. Barely two weeks ago, it was difficult to find a parking space at the mall — but no longer. Rather, it's simpler than locating one at the health club. TV ads no longer tempt with sugary visions of chocolaty treats, opting to substitute video of hard-bodied men and bikini-clad women sweating to the latest exercise DVD available for three easy payments of $19.95. Interviews with specialists pontificating on the best value in gym memberships have supplanted chefs who provided recipes for holiday goodies. Store windows are now chock-a-block bloated with displays of diet pills, quick smoking solutions, and self-help books. If you, like me, grow weary at this annual festival of advice; fret not, as it'll be as long gone as last year's chocolate Hanukkah gelt come Valentine's Day. My question is, since it never works, "Why do we keep doing it?" Oh sure, we're a pretty self-critical bunch; never totally content with our lot in life.
