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.

considered to be a replacement card that would require the $5.00 fee to be paid. Staff will take
into consideration catastrophic events for loss of a Tribal ID card to waive the replacement fee.

ting a copy of your State issued ID to verify the photo to the one that is mailed. Please call
