Scammers target vulnerable
• By Julia Evans
ELDERLY IN Papanui are
being targeted by phone and
online scammers trying to get
thousands of dollars from their
bank accounts.
Sergeant Paul Piper said the
Papanui station was beginning
to get a “reasonable amount” of
complaints regarding scams –
although at this stage no one had
lost any money.
“We’ve just had people concerned
about being asked for
personal details or bank account
information.”
He said scammers are aware
the elderly are especially lonely
over Christmas and want to talk,
which is a worry as Papanui has
the highest number of older people
in the city.
“Older people can be quite
vulnerable during the holidays . . .
they’re easily targeted and easy to
get drawn in,” he said.
Sergeant Piper said the scams
can cause people to lose a lot of
money if bank account details are
handed over, and complaints are
becoming “more frequent” in the
lead-up to the holidays.
“It comes in spates throughout
the year but at this time especially
. . . no one is ever going to call
and ask for your bank account
details. We’re just trying to get
that word out there.”
Papanui police and Age
Concern ran a workshop,
which addressed topics such as
scamming this month, which
Sergeant Piper said was a
“fantastic thing.”
“What I tell people is: ‘Have
you ever tried ringing Microsoft
or any of those companies yourself?’
It’s so hard to get through.
They’re not going to be phoning
you,” he said.
Sergeant Piper said Papanui
residents should also take extra
care locking their homes if
they’re going away for the holidays.
Police had attended a
number of home burglaries
already, which was expected
to increase as people head
away.
Body art
by students
inspires
well-being
Heaton Normal Intermediate
School’s Sophie Carpentier
was made a work of art by
Daisy Tait during an exhibition
showcasing drawings, paintings
and photographs by students
from around the city. One of
the highlights was a korowai
cloak made by Heaton pupils.
“Some of our students, who do
not find verbal expression easy,
have shown themselves to be
visually articulate through their
art work,” Heaton’s visual art
specialist Fiona Taylor said.
Wishing all my clients a
very Merry Christmas
and a happy New Year.

from the editor’s desk
IT’S HARD to believe another year has
just about whizzed by.
It’s been another 12 months of change
– particularly in the media game as the
big overseas-owned media groups grapple
over how to deliver the news to its consumers, and still stay in
business.
But the Nor West News rolls on, providing good local news
and advertising to readers who, in spite of what the big boys
might say, still enjoy the feel and touch of a newspaper.
But best of all it’s local, and that’s something the Nor West
News has been doing for a long time.
So have a very merry, safe and enjoyable Christmas, and of
course a Happy New Year!

Heavy vehicle ban mooted
• By Julia Evans
HEAVY VEHICLES could soon
be stopped from driving along
Fendalton roads.
A ban on heavy vehicles
is being investigated by city
council staff in a bid to start
addressing traffic and roading
concerns on
Glandovey and
Idris Rds. The
concerns were
raised by the
Glandovey, Idris
and Straven
Raf Manji
Residents’
Association.
City councillor
Raf Manji said he and fellow
councillor Aaron Keown had
met with city council chief executive
Karleen Edwards about
the roading issues.
“What came out of that
meeting is that we immediately
need to get the heavy freight off
Glandovey Rd,” Cr Manji said.
Following that, he said the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board and city
council would look at the layout
of the Glandovey and Idris Rds
intersection and nearby roads.
The number of heavy vehicles
using the roads has increased
since the earthquakes, Cr Manji
said. And he said it had also
SOLUTIONS: A ban on trucks along Glandovey and Idris Rd is
being investigated as a way to address pedestrian and cyclist
safety in the area. ​
become easier for large vehicles
to drive through the area since
the roundabout was upgraded to
lights in 2013.
Residents’ association spokesman
James Wilding said a ban
on heavy vehicles would be good
progress in the battle to make
the roads safe for pedestrians
and cyclists.
The roads are classified as minor
arterial or collector routes,
which Mr Wilding said is concerning
given the high number
of schools in the area.
“We have freight routes, for
example Blenheim Rd. Those
four and six-lane roads are the
ones freight should us,” he said.
The move comes after
Nor’West News reported the association
obtained safety audits
from the city council which
say “death or serious injury” at
the intersection is “likely” once
every five to 10 years due to visibility
issues between vehicles
and pedestrians.
Mr Wilding said the community
should have been aware
of these audits as their lives are
at risk.
A city council spokeswoman
said staff are working with the
community board to address the
communication concerns surrounding
the audits.
“Unfortunately due to the
volume of documents provided
to the requestor as part of the
LGOIMA responses, the safety
audits weren’t immediately
passed on to the board members,”
the spokesperson said.
Residents have been battling
the city council to address ongoing
roading, traffic and safety
issues in the area for almost a
year.
During the saga, Dr Edwards
recommended residents not
be involved in a work shop
with city council staff and
the community board to find
solutions.
However, the board went
against that decision and included
residents in discussions.
Cr Manji said he understands
it has been frustrating for residents.
“It’s important to get the community
voice out there, it has
been strong and its finally being
heard,” he said.

AURORA CENTRE REPAIRS
Major repairs and upgrade
work will start at Burnside High
School’s Aurora Centre for
Performing Arts next month.
The work is a combination of
earthquake and weather-related
repairs. Due to the complexity
of the work, the centre will be
closed and unavailable for use
until the middle of February.
NO TREES IN EDGEWARE
The protection of electrical
wiring is one reason Edgeware
Rd will remain tree-free. The
Papanui-Innes Community
Board has fielded requests
from residents to improve the
amenity of the neighbourhood
by planting trees on berms.
However, a city council arborist
told the board most of the
street has to remain unplanted
because of traffic safety
measures and infrastructure
like wiring.
CAVENDISH RD TARSEAL
Cavendish Rd residents in
Casebrook have expressed
concern over the weeping
tarseal on their street and on
Gardiners Rd. They said it
has caused damage to several
properties. While the road has
now been resurfaced, concerns
remain that the issue will
return.

Sand in
water not
harmful
• By Andrew King
DID YOU notice sand in your
water? Don’t worry it was not
harmful according to city
councillor Vicki Buck.
Dry conditions and warm
temperatures have seen water
use in the city soar, making the
city’s pumps run near capacity
24-hours a day meaning​ they
have picked up some of the natural
sand that acts as a filter from
aquifers.
On Wednesday, Cr Buck let
the public know the city council
is aware of the sand in the water
and flushed the pipes to deal
with it.
“We know about the sand in
some water – we’re dealing with
it and it’s not harmful,” her Facebook
post said.
She said contractors will flush
pipes along Papanui Rd and
some streets close by such as
Mays Rd.
“It is not uncommon for sand
to get into the water supply and
it poses no known health risks –
it does not contain harmful bacteria.
In affected areas, people
may have noticed a few grains in
a glass of water.”
Rangi boarding boss retires
IN 1992, Jim Bolger was prime
minister, The Headless Chickens
won New Zealand album of
the year, Shortland Street first
went to air and Frances Barnett
started working at Rangi Ruru
Girls’ School in the boarding
house.
After 25 years, the 76-year-old
boarding house manager has
retired and she said it wasn’t an
easy decision to make.
“I will miss everyone terribly,”
she said. “The girls have been an
extension of my own family.”
Mrs Barnett’s own family is
large. She has five children and
14 grandchildren, as well as the
thousands of students she has
looked after.
“I’m a nurse by profession and
I have loved working closely
with the girls over the years,
looking after their pastoral care,
just being there for them,” she
said.
“I think empathy is missing in
so many parts of our every day
lives and I have always told the
girls, put yourself in someone
else’s shoes, imagine what something
is like for them.”
When Mrs Barnett started at
Rangi Ruru, the boarding house
was located in Te Koraha the
main historic homestead on the
school site.
“We had five fireplaces that
Mr Rex used to set every day. I
would go around and light them
and the house quickly warmed
up. Seems such a long time ago
now,” Frances said.
A particular highlight over
her years was winning an
outstanding contribution to
boarding from the New Zealand
Boarding School Association
last year.
“The award is definitely one. I
never expected it,” she said.
“Other highlights? There have
been so many. I get invitations
to weddings, 21st birthdays and
christenings from the girls who
went through here and that’s
very special to me.”
Mrs Barnett said there’s a real
warmth about the boarding
house.
“All of the girls knew that I
was here when they needed me.
The whole boarding family is

focused on the girls’ well-being,
their happiness,” she said. “A
kind heart can take you a long
way in a happy life.”
She said working at the boarding
house has kept her feeling
young.
Mrs Barnett intends to remain
involved with the boarding
house as much as possible, helping
with Christmas events and
“other bits and pieces.”

Tech-savvy teacher awarded
• By Julia Evans
WINNING an unsung hero
award from EducationHQ New
Zealand is no easy feat.
Selwyn House teacher
Simon Christie had to develop
an entirely new curriculum,
the first of its kind in New
Zealand, to take out the unsung
hero technology category last
Tuesday.
The Burnside resident codeveloped
the mechatronics
course with his colleague, Liz
Fairhall. It mixes technology,
robotics, mechanical
engineering, mathematics,
science and the arts.
“We’ve always had a robotics
programme but we wanted
to find a point of difference,”
he said. That’s when the
mechatronics course began its
development.
“Girls are often
underrepresented in the science
and technology fields. We want
them not only to be taking part
in them, but leading the way,”
he said.
Winning the award was
“vindication” that his pupils
would have an advantage in a
world dominated by technology.
While he has put many days
and nights into the curriculum,
the course will never quite be
complete. “That’s what we tell
our girls. In mechanical engineering,
nothing’s ever quite
finished. It’s a never-ending
task. You can always find something
to change and upgrade.
It’s the same with mechatronics,”
he said.
Mr Christie said while the
mechatronics curriculum began
in one Selwyn classroom, it
is now taught throughout the
school.
“From years 1-8. And they’ve
even started teaching it in the
pre-school,” he said.
One of his proudest moments
was when his year 7 pupils

developed a knife that could be
used by his mother-in-law who
has tetraplegia.
“The girls were learning about
rights in society in terms of
people with a disability. They
then applied their mechatronics
learning to help solve a problem,”
he said.

CAR PARKING LOST
Portacoms for contractors have
been installed on the front lawn and
temporary car park of Jellie Park
Sport and Recreation Centre for the
next year as earthquake repair work
is completed. The site will be used
for contractors who are repairing
several of the centre’s pools and will
not be available for car parking.
CHILD SAFETY IMPROVED
Concerns regarding the safety of
children at the KidsFirst on Kendal
Ave have been addressed by the
city council. Following a site visit
by city council staff, it was agreed
that 10min parking restrictions
be installed. The kindergarten
requires a safe area for parents and
caregivers to park and pick-up or
drop-off children and the creation
of a short-term parking restriction
will provide turnover of parking.
FUNDING APPROVED
A grant of $200 has been approved
by the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board for
Hannah Stanely to attend the 2018
Ranger Event in Masterton. The
13-year-old is a pupil at Breens
Intermediate and a member of the
Kendal Air Rangers. The event
will involve adventures that girls
can participate in including rock
climbing, rafting, visit to Te Papa,
tramping and horse riding.

at Northlands
IT’S ALL hands on deck
at Northlands Shopping
Centre as the festive season
heats up.
With only six
days until Christmas,
the centre’s
management team
has come up with a
few tips to get you
through.
Judging from last
year’s activity, the
mall has predicted
the busiest day will
be December 23 at
lunchtime. To ease stress,
the best times to go shopping
are either first thing
in the morning, around
4pm or after 8pm.
More than 30 hours of
extra shopping has been
added to the mall’s usual
trading hours.
Northlands is
open until 10pm
every day until
Saturday, with a
special midnight
closing on Thursday.
And parking
shouldn’t be an
issue, as a dedicated
team will be
on hand to help
you find a park.
“We realise Christmas
shopping is a stressful time
for many, so we’ve tried
to make shoppers’ visits
Vicki Bain
to Northlands as easy as
possible,” centre manager
Vicki Bain said.
Additionally, in exchange
for a gold coin
donation, visitors to the
mall can have gifts of all
shapes and sizes wrapped,
with proceeds going to the
Rotary Club of Papanui
and nine other local community
groups.
The initiative raised
more than $18,000 last
year. It is predicted the
gift-wrapping volunteers
will wrap more than 9500
presents and more than
60,000 Eftpos transactions
will be made at the mall
before Christmas.
Kerbside Collection Dates
for Christmas and New Year
Starting this Christmas, you’ll notice a change with
your wheelie bin collection. For the weeks starting
Monday 25 December and Monday 1 January 2018,

FAMILY STORES
AMALGAMATE IN
PAPANUI
Two of the Salvation Army
Family Stores in the north of the
city have amalgamated into one
new location in Restell Street
Papanui.
The Main North Road shop
has closed, and the Cranford St
shop, which was opened after
the earthquakes to provide
furniture and linen for displaced
families, has also closed
its doors.
“The Cranford St shop had
come to the end of its season,
and the opportunity arose to
bring the two shops together,
which has been very exciting
for us,” says Pastor for Salvation
Army Christchurch North, Gill
Waugh.
“The new premises in Restell St
offer a large, bright open space
with lots of room for stock.
New stock is on the shop floor
every day, so it pays to drop in
regularly.”
The huge selection includes
clothing, the popular label
racks for that something special,
toys, books, crockery and
glassware, electrical items and
furniture, all donated by the
public.
“There’s off-street parking at
the new shop, which makes it
easier for people dropping off
items, and also for our customers,”
Gill says.
The Family Store will also pick
up donated goods and deliver
as arranged, Monday to Friday.
All the proceeds from sales go
towards the Salvation Army’s community
work, such as budgeting advice,
advocacy, WINZ quotes, welfare
support and the Positive Lifestyle Programme.
(These services operate from
the Belfast Centre, 794 Main North
Rd.)
The Family Store offers a Loyalty Card
system, with customers getting their
card clicked for every $10 spent. Once
they have 10 clicks, they get $10 to
spend in the store.
New manager at the Papanui Family
Store, Anne Tihore, previously worked
as a Family Store volunteer. She has
four employees on her team, who are
assisted by 25-30 volunteers. Some
ladies have volunteered for up to 20 and
30 years.
Anne and staff member Pauline say
customer feedback on the new shop has
been really positive.
“They love the spaciousness, brightness
and the layout, and that everything
is all in one place, not in two shops,”
Pauline says.
Anne says the new Family Store has
also brought a consolidation amongst
the staff.
“There’s a great team spirit. And the
shop also has a community feel about
it, which comes from the customers.
Papanui is a very strong community
and we are excited to be a part of it.”
The Papanui Family Store is currently
recruiting for volunteers. Anyone interested

Mural brings Mairehau alive
Pupils inspire
Innes Rd art
• By Julia Evans
A DRAB wall in Mairehau
has come to life with colourful
artwork – an idea sparked
entirely by local children.
When asked what was
wrong with their community,
Mairehau Primary School pupils
said the area needed more
colour.
So Richard ‘Popx’ Baker was
enlisted to paint a mural on a
wall between the school and
Innes Rd.
The Neighbourhood Trust
and Child and Youth Friendly
Cities organised the artwork,
which features Mairehau pupils
planting a garden.
Trust manager Ginny Larsen
said it has been a great result
from a collaborative effort.
“The project started two-anda-half
years ago when the trust
was working with children from
Mairehau Primary asking them
what they liked about the area,
what they didn’t like and what
they would like to change,” she
said.
One of the main themes was
that the pupils found Mairehau
a “bit grey” and wanted “more
LIKE BANKSY: George Croton, teacher Alice McGinty, Luseane Alexander, Chelsea Radcliffe
and Amy Scott in front of the mural on Innes Rd.

colour and vibrancy” in the
area.
The pupils took photos and
made up a board of ideas.
“One of the things they
suggested was a mural,” Ms
Larsen said.
But the trust quickly hit a
road block.
Said Ms Larsen: “We thought
this would be lovely but we’ve
got no money.”
That’s when Child and Youth
Friendly Cities came on board.
Ms Larsen said the group
really liked the fact that it was
the voices and ideas of local
children being heard.
Many large-scale murals by
Baker feature across the city.
They include a building
at Phillipstown School through
to the “wall of love” in New
Brighton.

Fire rages, homes at risk
No further
traffic calming
measures
near school
• By Julia Evans
MORE TRAFFIC calming
measures around Paparoa Street
School are off the table.
In a memo to the
Papanui-Innes, city council
traffic engineer Penny Gray said
although the area around Paparoa
St, Tomes Rd and Rutland St is
congested, that does not mean it is
dangerous.
“Congestion around the school
is solely caused by the school and
the traffic it generates,” Ms Gray
said.
She said although the congestion
is noticible during peak
school hours, the city council
expects this as the school’s roll is
more than 550.
Paparoa St already has a
“high level” of traffic calming
measures installed that ensure a
low speed environment, Ms Gray
said.
“The school has excellent offstreet
paths directly from the
school, which children and parents
can safely use to access other
roads in the network. This could
help spread congestion from the
school gate.”

FLAME FILES
Fire columnist bids farewell
• By Mark Thomas – fire risk management
officer
THIS IS the last flame files.
After nearly 11 years back in
Christchurch and 518 columns completed,
I’ve decided it’s time to shuffle off into
retirement.
The column has been something I’ve
always enjoyed.
Sometimes the time available has been
too short for comfort and some other
times I’ve had a good subject and time to
do it justice.
I can only hope it’s been entertaining to
some and even occasionally informative.
I know the issues haven’t really changed.
There are still too many kitchen fires.
There are still too many arson fires.
But in recent years, the number of fire
fatalities has fallen.
This must in part be the result of our
promotion of smoke alarms and I still live
STAY SAFE: A group
of prisoners Mark
Thomas spoke to
at Christchurch
Women’s Prison
later used their
phone privileges to
ring home to ensure
their families were
protected by smoke
alarms.
in hope of the day none of us will agree to
sleep anywhere that is not alarm covered.
Another quite satisfying part of this job
has been the public speaking.
I’ve talked to older people, young
people, service groups and even prisoners
in jail.
Some of the most satisfying feedback I
ever got was being told all of the group I
had spoken to at Christchurch Women’s
Prison later used their phone privileges
to ring home to ensure the family was
protected by smoke alarms.
Finally, sincere thanks are due to Star
Media for providing me with the platform
to preach the fire safety message.
That’s a true public service and is very
much appreciated.
I’ve been fortunate with the calibre
of people I’ve worked with, both in the
firefighting family and those outside.
Stay safe everyone!

Festive Season Survival Tips
Healthy snacks are always popular
Christmas is a time for celebration,
spending time with friends and
family and enjoying festive foods
and drinks. Nutrition-wise, this
festive fare can be a challenge.
Here are some simple tips to help you
survive the festivities:
• Don’t try to lose weight over the festive
season. With parties, families and all the
special foods that go with Christmas, it’s
going to be just about impossible! Your
main aim should be to maintain your weight
(using some of the tips below!)
• Eat regular meals. If you skip meals you
are more likely to fill up on high fat snacks.
It only takes a few of these snacks to add
up to more calories than your usual meal.
• Avoid going to a function hungry, you
can easily eat a lot of party food in a short
time. Have a small snack beforehand like a
bowl of cereal, yoghurt or a sandwich are
quick and will help fill you up. It will also
help if you are well hydrated, so try drinking
a few glasses of water before you arrive.
• Deep fried foods, crumbed and battered
foods, cheese platter and nuts are all high in
fat. Choose fruit, vegetable or bread based
snacks.
• If you are hosting the party, offer your
guests a range of healthy snacks. Always
popular are hummus or salsa dips with
vegetable sticks.
• If you are taking a plate, make yours a
healthy option. How about a platter of fruit
currently in season?
• Listen to your body and stop eating
when you feel full.
• Just say ‘No” to food – mentally
Be aware of how much you are actually drinking
practice strategies to decline food offers. For
example: “It looks amazing but I am full” or
“I tried it and it was great”.
• Chat and mingle. If you are bored at a
party you’re more likely to hover around the
food table or seek out the serving platter. A
good conversation can distract you from the
food. Avoid standing right beside the food
table or bar while you’re talking.
• Consider your drinks, they can add to
the calorie count very quickly. Try diluting
your alcoholic drinks, such as a spritzer
(½ wine, ½ soda). If you prefer spirits,
try a diet mixer. Lite beers are lower in
calories and alcohol. Remember soft drinks,
juices, punches, tonic water and flavoured
mineral water can all have similar calories
to alcoholic drinks.
•Be aware of how much you are actually
drinking. Alternate alcoholic drinks with
glasses of water and non-alcoholic choices.
• Keep active. Join in the Christmas
backyard cricket game or go for a walk
with friends or relatives. Remember you’re
aiming for 30 minutes of physical activity
each day.
• If your regular exercise class stops over
the Christmas break, plan other types of
exercise - organise your friends and put a
date in your diary.
If you do really overdo the festive foods
or drinks, take a deep breath and start the
next day afresh with healthy foods and some
exercise. No fasting - just sensible eating.
Remember, a few parties don’t make you
overweight, it’s what you do all the other
days of the year which count.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
PINEAPPLE, GINGER AND
COCONUT CRUMBLE
Ingredients
Filling
1 pineapple
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 pieces star anise
4 pieces crystallised ginger, finely
chopped
3/4 cup coconut milk
Coconut crumble
100g butter
160g flour
½ tsp ground ginger
50g sugar
80g shredded coconut
1 lime, zested
Directions
Heat oven to 180 deg C. Peel
pineapple, cut into quarters,
remove core then slice into small
even pieces.
Melt butter in a large frying
pan, add pineapple, vanilla and
star anise.
Cook on a high heat until
pineapple begins to caramelise.
Add ginger and coconut milk,
allow to simmer gently for
10min.
Dice butter then rub in flour
and ginger using fingertips until
it resembles breadcrumbs.
Stir through sugar, coconut
and lime zest.
Spoon pineapple into a
baking dish, sprinkle over
coconut crumble mix and
bake for 20-30min until
crumble topping is golden and
fragrant.
MOROCCAN GRATED
CARROT AND BEET SALAD
Ingredients
2 cups of grated carrots (from
about three carrots)
1 cup of grated fresh beets (from
about one medium sized peeled
beet)
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 teaspoon paprika (sweet, not
hot)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Small pinch of salt
Small pinch of cayenne
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
2 Tbsp sliced fresh mint leaves
Directions
Place the grated carrots in a
medium sized serving bowl.
Place the grated beets into a
sieve and briefly rinse with cold
water. This will rinse away a
little of the excess beet juice that
may otherwise colour the whole
salad beet red.
Pat dry with a paper towel.
Then add to the bowl with the
carrots. Add the raisins. Stir to
gently combine.
In a small bowl, whisk
together the paprika, cumin,
cinnamon, salt, and cayenne.
Then add the lemon juice and
honey and whisk until smooth.
Drizzle over the carrots and
beets, then gently fold
until the carrots and
beets are lightly coated.
Let sit for an hour
before serving, either
chilled or at room
temperature, for the
dressing to seep
into the carrots and
beets.
Right before serving,
stir in a couple
tablespoons of sliced
fresh mint leaves.
Garnish with fresh
mint.

REAL ESTATE
A Chic Urban Lifestyle
20 Beechwood Drive, Northwood
3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 2 car-garage | Property ID: PI49467
This gorgeous home offers chic
contemporary living and great value for
money in a setting that’s hard to beat.
Built by Horncastle Homes and boasting
a Palazzo kitchen, it is tastefully decorated
and immaculately presented to create a
home you’ll be proud to call your own.
A spectacular location, with a reserve
boundary to the north, ensures you
can never be built-out - and you’re just
a few minutes’ walk or a short drive to
supermarket, cafés and shops.
Inside, an elegant, open-plan living space
flows from the north-facing lounge - where
a gas fire lends ambience and French doors
open to a superb outdoor entertaining space
- to the dining area and kitchen beyond.
Cleverly placed glazing fills the kitchen
with natural light, making it an inviting
workspace. High-spec, with great extras
including induction cooktop and separate
combination oven, it is as functional as it is
beautiful. Upstairs, two double bedrooms,
including one with a balcony looking out
over the reserve, share a family bathroom,
while the master occupies the third floor,
enjoying wonderful space and light with its
own balcony, absorbing outlook, WIR and
en suite. A double internal-access garage
is a welcome feature, while the sunny
courtyard garden is beautifully manicured
and designed to offer effortless outdoor
living with the minimum of maintenance.
This property ticks all the boxes as an
inviting and easy-care home or investment
property. The owners have already
purchased another property so must
relinquish their much-loved home. This is
your chance. Contact the agent today to
view.
