‘Runners World’ features Mills
Billy Mills won a spectacu
lar 10,000-meter race in the
1964 Olympics, one o f the
greatest races in the history
o f the Games.
With the 2012 Olympics
approaching, and in honor of
Native American Month, the
magazine Runners World re
cently published an outstand
ing article about Mills.
The story is about Mills’
1964 trium ph and his life
since that time.
Mills is an inspirational
speaker. H e has visited Warm
Springs on a few occasions,
the last time several years ago.
His inspiration to become
a public speaker came to him
after the 1964 Olympic race.
H e says, “During the playing
o f the N ational A nthem , I
heard my late father speak
ing to me. H e said, ‘Son, you
can step out o f the circle now.
You can go on a journey to
help others now, to empower
others now.’”
Mills, now 73, is o f Oglala
Lakota Sioux heritage, and

The Oregon Travelers of Slmnasho recently won the Fort Hall 60-plus Classic Basketball
Tournament. The Oregon Travelers are (top row from left) Bunky Andrews, Everette Charging

That wasn’t a move that could
be perfected after just a couple
o f hours on the basketball court.
St. Clair is 67 and has been
playing the game he loves since
the 1950’s. H e and the 69-year-
old LaPlante were part o f the
Ft. Hall Classic basketball tour
nament held recently at Timbee
Hall.
“The kids in this tournament
are 40,” said Delson Suppah Sr.

over 70 to be considered on the
old side.”

“I’m feeling it in the knees
right now, big time. The shock
absorbers are gone,” said the 65-
year-old Suppah with a weary
laugh. “But knees aren’t a big
thing. Bill Schaaf over there had
heart bypass surgery a couple
o f years ago and he’s back play
ing at age 74.”
For Oregon Travelers team
mate Charley Buckman, artifi
cial knees have kept him on the
sideline for awhile. “This is just
my third game back,” said the
retired range management spe
cialist from Colville, Wash. “But
the point is that I’m back, and
I ’m still playing at 61.”
Many o f the players fight the
aches and pains and remain ac
tive to be role models. “Every
where I go, I tell the kids to be

gal,” said Suppah. “The Elders
helped teach me that, helped
bring me up right, and now it’s
my turn to be the teacher... I f
