Students at Windermere Elementary School anx-iously await each day’s mail to find out which Olym-pic nation has mailed them a flag.

In a project involving the entire student body, Principal Steve Bentley explained, students split into groups and requested flags from foreign embassies in Ottawa. More than 75 countries have responded so far and the flags keep coming, he said.

“It’s a way for the kids to understand that we’re just a pin-prick on the globe,” he said.

Some countries have sent more than a flag, he said, including maps and brochures. The United States, he said, sent the kids mouse pads with a picture of Presi-dent Barack Obama on them.

“This way, the kids get to learn a lot about the world around them,” Mr. Bentley said.

Ghana, one of the poorest nations in the world, he said, sent the biggest and most beautiful flag.

Watch for the entire collection on display as the Olympic Torch Relay passes through Windermere.

Museum exhibiting Olympic memorabilia


The Columbia Valley is rich in Olympic his-tory – so much so, that the Windermere Valley Museum is exhibiting a display of Olympic mem-orabilia on loan from ath-letes, coaches, volunteers and broadcasters with ties to the valley.

“With so many connections,” said mu-seum curator Dorothy Blunden, “we thought we had to do it.”

From Doug Anakin’s Hudson Bay blanket coat from the 1964 Innsbruck Games through to Chris-tina Lustenberger’s coat from the 2006 Torino Games, visitors can see how styles have changed through the years.

The collection in-cludes medals, uniforms and photographs from Doug Anakin, Chris-tine (Keshen) DuBois, Christina Lustenberger, Jacques Thibault, Ken Read, Brian Williams, Jock Wilson, Lyle Wilson and more.

The museum is open during the Torch Relay and afternoons during Heritage Week, February 15th to 21st.

ON DISPLAY — Olym-pic memorabilia on exhibit at the Windermere Valley Museum includes (top) coats from the Innsbruck, Sapporo and Calgary games, (right) uniforms from the Torino games and (above) a poster signed by Olympic athletes.

Doug Anakin’s Olympic legacy lives on

By Cayla GabruckPioneer Staff

Bobsled gold medallist Doug Anakin of Invermere

said he remembers competing in the 1964 Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria as if it were yesterday.

He remembers the crowd cheering madly and frantically waving their Canadian flags; the anxious, sleepless nights before the team’s last run; his adrena-line boiling over as the four-man team raced down the ice-laden track; and the overwhelming joy of being part of one of the biggest upsets in bobsledding his-tory.

“The thought that we could actually win a gold medal didn’t even cross our minds until the first prac-tice run,” Doug said. “After that we thought: ‘Hey, maybe we got something here, maybe we can do it again tomorrow.’”

But the Canadian team members weren’t the only ones shocked at their re-sults that first day.

“The European teams were a little sur-prised – they p r o b a b l y

thought it was a fluke. No one thought we were a con-tender for gold,” Doug said. “I think it was because we didn’t have a run to train on in Canada and we hadn’t performed that well throughout the season.”

But on Friday, February 2nd, with a time of 4:14.46, the Canadian bobsled team of Peter Kirby, Doug Anakin, John Emery and Vic Emery made his-tory when they upset the heavily-favoured Austrian team – making them the first Canadian team in history to win a gold medal in the four-man bobsled event.

“I remember standing at the bottom of the run, waiting for them to post the scores, and we had to wait about 20 minutes for the other teams to come down – which was tough,” Doug said.

“When the scores finally came up we all cheered, Vic threw me on his shoulders and I yelled: ‘Yippee!’ and threw my helmet in the air!”

It was an incredible feat, considering Doug had been introduced to the sport just four years earlier.

He was a 30-year-old physical education teacher at Mount Royal High School in Montreal, Quebec when he first stepped into a bobled. (The terms bobsled and bobsleigh are now used interchangeably).

“I was challenged by one of my friends to leave skiing on a Saturday and come to Lake Placid and try a ‘real sport,’” Doug said.

“I said ‘yes’ and that was it.”Doug remembers his first trip down the bobsled

track that day. He said he was excited; it was an adren-aline rush like he had never experienced before.

“You just want to go faster,” he said. “There really is a feeling of abandon, a feeling of dread – you know if you make a mistake you’re going to hurt yourself or fall out of the run. You have one thing to think about and that’s exactly where are you and where is the next corner.”

In 1963, Vic Emery, who had met Doug while the two were attending Queens University, asked Doug to join the amateur bobsled team. The team began to travel around Europe to various competitions. They all wore different helmets, Doug’s an old football helmet from the school he was teaching at in Montreal.

“We paid for our own equipment,” he said. “We couldn’t afford to get matching helmets, we were all amateurs.”

In competition, Doug was always seated second in the sled and one of his main responsibilities during a race was to help the driver.

“I remember one time we hit slush on the side of the track and it splashed up and covered our gog-gles,” Doug said. “The driver yelled at me: ‘Goggles, goggles!’ and I had to let go of the sled to reach up and move his goggles up off his face so he could see the rest of the trip.”

But, Doug said, his biggest responsibility was to

be ready to throw his weight over to either side of the sled to keep from crashing – a situation that arose for the team on the third run at the 1964 Olympics.

“Our second-last run we almost crashed,” he said. “We were going around the 13th corner and the sled ran out of ice, so we all had to throw our weight over so the weight stayed on the sled and we didn’t tip.”

A crash could have cost the Canadian team their gold medal, not to mention their lives. But persevering through this challenge gave the team the confidence they needed to clinch first place the following day.

“We felt it was pretty well in the bag, if we could do ev-erything the same and if noth-ing unforeseen happened, that is,” Doug said.

And they were right. But winning an Olympic gold medal was the first in a long line of accomplishments for Doug Anakin. He represented Canada internationally in bob-sled until 1967, when he made a conscious decision to settle down and raise a family.

He was a pioneering force in Canadian luge,

coaching the Canadian Olympic team at the 1972 games in Sapporo, Japan.

He retired from teaching in 1990 and moved to the Columbia Valley af-ter he came here to ski and fell in love with the place.

Later that year, John Abbott Col-lege, the institution where he coached for 19 years, established the Doug Anakin Scholarship for Outdoor Pursuits which is given annually to the student that best demonstrates

Doug’s traits. He is also a member of the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame.

Doug still resides in Invermere with his wife Mary

Jean. He has two daughters: Bridget Anakin, a teacher at Windermere Elementary School; and Megan Ana-kin, a teacher in New Zealand. The girls have two chil-dren each.

Doug said he is looking forward to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver, especially because he received an invitation from Premier Gordon Camp-bell himself to attend the opening ceremonies.

“I wrote him back and said that the only way I’ll come is if you volunteer to do doubles luge with me and we’ll go down the track,” he laughed.

part of our online community.

Follow the Olympic Torch Relay and share your experience at www.yougottabehere.ca


In advance of the arrival of the Olympic Torch Relay in our communities, it is important to under-stand the security perimeters regarding approaching the torchbearer during the relay.

According to event organizers, the torchbearer will be surrounded by members of the Torch Relay Secu-rity Team.

The team is comprised of on-duty police officers tasked with ensuring the safety and security of the torchbearer, the torch and the flame.

These police officers, who wear a black running suit with the Olympic Rings on the back to differenti-ate themselves from others, form a security “envelope” around the torchbearer.

The Flame Attendants – youth representatives of the Aboriginal community – also wear black running suits, but have a gray scarf with blue designs draped across their coats.

No one, including the media, is allowed within the security envelope.

The security team, along with the local police, will clear a pathway for the torchbearer as the relay pro-gresses.

Officials note that maintaining the envelope can be particularly challenging in locations where the crowds are very large.

Olympic organizers ask that spectators please be mindful of keeping the roadway clear on the day of the Torch Relay.
