NOVA
SCOTIA- THE CHRONICLE HERALD
VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE
A chance to shineSports columnist Chris Cochrane wrote that the Commonwealth Games don’t “do it for me,” (July 28). Some reasons why he dismisses the Games are precisely why I like them. I am glad “heavyweight countries” are not there. It gives others a chance to shine.
Mr. Cochrane laments the fact that “tangible ties” among Commonwealth countries are fraying. Our Queen referred to the Games as “a calling together of people from every part of the Commonwealth” and said they serve as a reminder “of our shared ideals and ambitions as a diverse, resourceful and cohesive family .... You remind us that young people, those under 25 years of age, make up half of our Commonwealth citizens; and it is to you that we entrust our values and our future.” That seems tangible to me.
I like reading about “small nations that are difficult to find on a map.” Through your listing of medal standings, it is great to see the names of countries that we might not hear of except in times of difficulty.
In a province that wants to be open to immigrants, it would be wise to realize that “second-level” competitors are of interest to our new residents. Playing with heart is the most important thing about sports and that is what the Commonwealth athletes are doing.

Gaelic Song : The Rankin Family: Gillean Mo Run
Uploaded on Aug 10, 2007
This was recorded quite a while ago , in Scotland.
(translation further down)
Chorus:
'S e gillean mo ruin a thogadh mo sunnd,
'S i so a' Bhliadhn' Or thug solas dhuinn:
'S e gillean mo ruin a thogadh oirnn sunnd.
Air m'uilinn 's an leabaidh an am dol a chadal,
Gun d'fhairich mi Challuinn 's gun chord i rium.
Chualas na duain am briathran nam buadh,
"Thoir botul a nuas 's an toisich sinn".
'S e gillean mo ghraidh a thainig o'n bhlar,
Le'n cotaichean sgarlaid 's boidheach iad.
S e gillean mo chridhe a sheinneadh an fhidheall,
Bu mhiann le clann-nighean bhi comhla riuth'.
'S i fidheall nan teud a sheinneadh gu reidh,
'S gun cuireadh i ceud an ordugh dhuinn.
'S aighearrach mi o'n rinneadh an t-sith,
'S mo bheannachd do'n Righ thug forladh dhuinn.
Its the boys I love that would lift my mood
This is the New yer that gave us joy
Its the boys I love that would lift our mood
I was resting on my elbow in bed, at sleeping time,
I heard the Calends (New Year) and I enjoyed it.
We heard the song in the words of victory
"Take a bottle down and we will begin".
The boys I love have come from the batttle
looking good in their scarlet coats.
The boys of my heart play the fiddle
The girls like to be with them
The stringed fiddle sings so sweetly
Would set a hundred in order for us.
I am happy since peace has been declared My blessings on the king who granted us leave.
