The ICG's start today in Cleveland. This is the first time that the games have been in the United States. Theses games were started by a man from the former Yugoslavia as a way to join children of the world in a peaceful time to share their talents. I think that this is the sixth year for them. President Bush will be here to open the games, ( plus campaign). I know the local news stations are doing coverage, but the one that seems to be devoting a large amount of time to it is our local NBC station. Here is their web site if you would like tocheck things out and see how the kids are doing. WWW.WKYC.com I think that I heard that there are 56 countries here for this. Last night they all got to go to a Cleveland Indians game. This was a first for many of the kids and they had a blast, even got to meet both the teams before hand. Good Luck to all these great kids!!!! P.S. If you click on the doppler radar map, look for Akron, just below the "a" and "k" is where Barberton is!!!! |
