The first item on the agenda was a Frontier Communications competitive franchise application. Scott Bohler and Tom Murn attended the meeting. Murn said that Frontier is very community-oriented: “We make and drive multiple decisions (based on a community orientation), and we participate in all sorts of community activities.”
Frontier offers television through an internet connection.
“Broadband is the future of our product. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge; this is a modern delivery of TV over the internet,” Murn said.
Bohler added that the service will use existing lines and will not require a large amount of setup, offering an alternative to cable TV. Bohler and Murn said they intend to reach the entire city.

Lino Lakes Elementary Stem School walks and runs in memory of teacher

More than 100 students, staff, family and friends participated in the fifth annual Lino Lakes Elementary Stem School 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 24.
This year, the 5K had special meaning to everyone, as the race was dedicated to the memory and celebration of Holly “Soden” Farwell, who lost her hard fought battle with breast, brain and lung cancer in July of 2016. When the school started its partial Spanish immersion program in 2006, Farwell was hired as the first teacher for this new program. She taught both first and second grade Spanish at Lino Lakes Elementary for six years. The impact Holly made on her students, her parents and the staff at Lino Lakes will leave a lasting and positive impact with the community.broadstreet.zone(48036);

The event was supported by the Lino
