THE YOUNG AND GIFTED - This picture of four Bahamian young women says it all about what The Bahamas should be. We are supposed to be clean, fun, light, happy, honest and hard working. The team of Alana Dillette, Nikia Deveaux, Alicia Lightbourne and Arianna Vanderpool Wallace finally got the bronze medal that they worked for at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2007. These games pitted that relay team in swimming against the best in the hemisphere. They were cheated out of a medal by a team from Brazil that was later disqualified for drug use. And so for the second time in a month, Bahamians have gotten what they deserve like Pauline Davis Thompson, the track star just a few weeks ago. We congratulate them and urge them to keep it up. The country is proud of you. This photo shows them in all their happy beauty at Government House where they had just received their medal on Tuesday 22nd June. www.bahamasuncensored.com
