recommended exercises in Teller’s book, as are cycling, running, and for those who want to start getting health-ier, walking and hiking. The essential point to any exercise, he says, is to make it a routine part of your day.
“It’s not just a walk, it’s a regular walk,” he said.
Sections of his book cover metabolic efficiency, exer-cise, nutrition, sleep—which is earned, he says—breathing techniques, since breathing patterns are such a strong indicator of overall health, and philosophy. The book complements Teller’s web-site, www.1vigor.com, offer-ing articles, exercise logs, and leader boards, tracking how many miles or hours other members have logged during the year in various sports.
The book “Natural health, Peak Performance, Longevity Lifestyle,” is available in print from 1vigor.com, Amazon and the Snoqualmie Ridge IGA, or online on the Kindle.

Crossword puzzle
Students explore sky, snow for entries
What makes a good sce-nic photo? For some, it’s air and water, stone and foliage. Others may find that people and animals help bring in an animate moment.
Our student photo contest showcased several animated perspectives. First place went to Sam Saimo for his snow shot on a lonely North Bend trail, while second place went to Hayley Haskitt for a shot of blue, cloud-streaked sky above Snoqualmie Ridge.
“What draws me to make a shot is just the way I see things through my cam-era,” said Saimo. “It’s hard to describe, I just really look for unique ways to see things, then try and capture it with my camera.”
Madi Ashby zoomed in on hikers at Rattlesnake Ledge with help from a viewfinder at the Cedar Falls interpre-tive center.
“I thought it looked really cool and followed the rule of thirds,” an old composition trick that puts an empha-sis on an off-center subject rather than simply centering the subject, she said.
Teen shutterbugs bring new perspective
Above, Samuel Saimo, a Mount Si High School student, captured snowy scenes on a North Bend trailhead last November. Below left, clouds and a contrail divide blue sky in this shot by Hayley Haskitt, 15, who took it at the edge of Snoqualmie Ridge near a hiking trail to Fall City. Saimo won a mentoring session with Mary Miller, while Haskitt won an Omega Photo poster print.
