  1. Reports the church’s new white siding expected to be completed within another day, identifies 12-inch-wide, 16-foot-long Insulite primed siding planks lapped two inches, and says the changed appearance was visible from far out at sea. It does not provide contracts, invoices, a completion inspection, or a full building-history record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
