Artist buoyed by public
SALTER PATH — Bulbs of bright blues, pinks, greens and yellows hang like strings of beads from the front porch of a Salter Path home, catching the eye of those traveling along the highway that spans the island.At the end of the rainbow sits Sue Frost, turning white globes of Styrofoam into every color combination that she can dab on her paint brush.
The colorful creations are actually hand-painted crab pot buoys that Frost has given a new decorative use.
From a small table on her front porch, Frost applies a coating of acrylic paint to one buoy after another. It's obvious she is enjoying the process as much as the finished product.
“I've always enjoyed painting," said Frost, who is apt to pick up a brush and paint something anytime her mood for a new color hits.
Her daughter, Amanda, pitches in to help for a different reason.

Final OPBAT decision on the way
In just two weeks The Bahamas will be one step closer to finding out which U.S. agency will take over when Army resources pull out of the OPBAT programme next year.A source at the U.S. Embassy in Nassau yesterday revealed that June 26 has been earmarked for both U.S. and Bahamian officials to determine who would replace the Army's seven Blackhawk helicopters and their crews when they withdraw from Operation Bahamas Turks and Caicos (OPBAT). But the source added that details are still sketchy about how relevant this information will be. "I believe that the ambassador is going to be back in town on (June) 26 to speak with the Deputy Prime Minister and I think that's when he will be back from Washington with this information," he said. "I don't know that we will have a final answer at that time, but any new information will certainly not be available sooner than that."
He added that Ambassador Rood is in Miami now in other meetings but will soon be jet-setting to Washington to deal with the pressing OPBAT issue.
