GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta.
Eli Manning Womens Jersey. - Albertas cowboy culture got a nod today as the 2010 Olympic flame was loaded onto a chuckwagon and brought into Grande Prairie amid cheering fans. Multi-champion chuckwagon driver Kelly Sutherland brought the flame into town as he stood at the back of the wagon showing off the torch to the crowds lining the streets. The skies were sunny and the temperature was just below freezing, a welcome change for the torch relay organizers who arrived, sweating, in parkas after most of the week spent in the frigid Arctic. The flame will travel to CFB Cold Lake later in the day and by Sunday, it will be back up north in Alert, the most northern inhabited community on the planet. The flame is on a 106-day journey across Canada before opening the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver on Feb. 12.

Cubas President Raul Castro talks to Cuban shipwreck survivor Elian Gonzalez as they attend a ceremony in Havana this week.[Agencies] Anniversary of boys return celebrated with Cubas president HAVANA - Elian Gonzalez says hes not angry at his Miami relatives who fought to keep him in the United States during a nasty international custody battle a decade ago, and is thankful a large part of the American public supported him being reunited with his father in Cuba. Now 16, Gonzalezs first comments to foreign reporters in years came after Cuban President Raul Castro attended a state celebration on Wednesday night marking the 10th anniversary of the famous ex-castaways return to the island. Even though they didnt help me in every way possible, they didnt help me move forward, they are still my own family, Gonzalez said of his South Florida relatives, speaking in a shy, almost timid voice. I dont have anger for them, he said. Its only that it wasnt the best effort possible, and thanks to a large part of the American public, and our public, today Im with my father and I feel happy here. When asked about the familys Miami relatives, however, Gonzalezs father, Juan Miguel, shot back that he was still angry, because, at any moment, having the boy there and with me giving them opportunities so they can reunite the family, they let themselves get carried away with other things. He added that bringing his son back was still the right thing to do, saying, today Im more sure than I was then. Found in inner tube Elian was a photogenic 5-year-old when a fisherman found him floating off the coast of Florida in an inner tube on Thanksgiving Day 1999, after his mother and others fleeing Cuba drowned trying to reach American soil. His father, who was separated from his mother, had remained on the island. US immigration officials ruled the boy should return to Cuba over the objections of his Miami relatives and other Cuban exiles, creating a national furor that caused even presidential candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore to weigh in. Many believe Cuban-Americans outrage at how the case turned out helped cost Gore the White House. Elians Miami relatives refused to give him up, while in Cuba, Fidel Castro and religious leaders led constant marches calling for his return.
Cheap Victor Cruz Jersey. State television crated a nightly round-table program that provided updates on the Gonzalez case and it endures today, though it now discuss all sorts of themes. US federal agents raided the Little Havana home of Elians uncle with guns drawn on April 22, 2000, and seized the boy from a closet to return him to his father. Emotional return home It took the pair another two-plus months to return to Cuba, and when they did, men, women and children jammed the road from Havanas airport, cheering, waving Cuban flags and throwing flowers as their motorcade passed. The younger Gonzalez was celebrated as a hero and his father, a restaurant employee, was elected to parliament. Cuba has worked to play down the public persona of both since then, but this anniversary proved an exception. The latest event was organized by Cubas Council of Churches, which includes all major Cuban religions except the Roman Catholic Church, and was held at the Episcopal Santisima Trinidad Cathedral in Havana. The council staged a celebration in the same church days after Gonzalezs return in 2000. It was a triumph, not only of love and justice, but of logic over indecency of spirit, truth against evil, Rev. Marcial Miguel Hernandez, president of the Council of Churches, said on Wednesday night. A large screen behind all who spoke showed video footage from Gonzalezs return in 2000. Gonzalez wore a red-striped dress shirt and sat in the front row next to Raul Castro, who was in a white Guayabera shirt and embraced him and patted him on the back before the event started. His father sat a row behind them, and his stepmother, two younger stepbrothers and grandmother, a faithful churchgoer, were in nearby rows. Its the land where Im from, Gonzalez said of Cuba. Here I feel good, and, thanks to my education and the strength my people have given me, today Im almost a man. The state news agency AIN wrote that Gonzalez enjoys music, is a partygoer, although not a good dancer, who spends hours in front of the computer or weightlifting with his friends.
