Taft’s Fisher to play in Shriners game By Jim Fossum; SportsLincolnCounty. com; originally posted Feb. 24, 2016 Taft High senior receiver Rylan Fisher has been selected to play in the 64 th annual Shriners Hospital East-West All Star Football Game in Baker City. “The game means a lot to me,” Fisher said. “I appreciate the fact I am able to represent my team at this event, but the game isn’t about me. The game is just a way for us players to help a cause that’s much bigger than our individual selves. Being able to provide a little bit of help is very important to me personally.” Fisher is a two-time first-team All- State receiver and the Class 3A West Val- ley League’s Offensive Player of the Year. A two-time first-team all-league player, Fisher led the state in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns over the course of his junior and senior seasons. “I am excited that Rylan was chosen to represent Taft in the Shrine game. It is a significant honor,” Taft football coach James Mick said. “Rylan has been a leader, a producer and a force against other teams in his time at Taft.” How much walking should I do? Walking for at least 150 minutes a week is best. Start out walking 3 or more times a week. Work up to 30 minutes of walking at least 5 days a week. You can break the 30 minutes into three 10-minute sessions spread throughout the day. What kind of shoes should I wear? Make sure that your shoes fit well. They should cushion and support your feet. Wear a clean pair of socks to protect your feet. If you have any foot problems or need help getting the right shoes, see your health care provider. How fast should I walk? Start slowly and go faster as you become more fit. If you cannot talk while you walk, you are walking too quickly. If you can sing while you walk, you are walking too slowly! Former Taft High quarterback Pete Lahti, the Offensive Player of the Year in Class 3A a season earlier, also represented Taft in the game, which will be played Aug. 6 at Baker City High School. “I think that the more success the program sees, the easier it is for the kids to imagine what they can do through ath- letics,” Mick said. “It helps build on the program’s goals and set a foundation of success that the community can share in.” How can I make walking a habit? With a little time, walking can become a habit. Try to develop a habit of walking for at least 30 minutes every day: • Have fun! Walk with family or friends. Enjoy talking. • Take scenic routes. • Park a little farther from the store or your work place. • Walk on your lunch hour or break. • Use the stairs. • Walk at the same time each day. • Have a weekly schedule. Walk on most days of the week. How can I become more fit? First check with your health care provider to find out what activities are best for you. Try bike riding, hiking, dancing, or working out at a gym. Find out what kinds of fitness activities you can join at your tribal health center. Ask a friend, your children, grandchildren, or other family members to join you. You will be a healthy role model to your loved ones.
