Construction of the new Vero fiber internet system in Albany began a little over a month ago and is expected to continue for about two more months, according to city employee Brian Holson.

Vero representatives said service will be activated in stages as construction progresses, rather than all at once across the community. Construction is being completed in “zones,” each serving roughly 300 to 400 homes, allowing service to begin in each area as it is finished. The first zone is expected to go live in early April, with additional zones coming online over the following two months.

Highland Park, Tolar finish ahead of Lions

Albany finished third overall with a team score of 333. The Lions were edged out by 3A Tolar, which finished with a 326, and 5A Dallas Highland Park, which won the tournament with a 317.

Albany Golf Club continues to undergo a series of improvements as work progresses on renovations to several greens and other upgrades across the course.

Greens No. 6 and No. 9 have already been completed as part of the project, and crews are currently working through the remaining greens. According to club officials, the next greens scheduled for renovation are No. 1 and No. 8, followed by work on greens No. 2 and No. 4. The goal is to complete renovations on all of the greens before moving on to additional improvements around the course.

THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY

Mankind (humanity) was made in the image of God (cf. Genesis 1:26, 27); but, because of sin, this became a broken and distorted image (Romans 3:23). Then Jesus came into the world. Jesus was “the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), the “exact representation of His nature” (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus came to show us the Father (John 1:18; 14:7-9). The essence of Christianity is returning to the likeness of God (2 Peter 1:3, 4).
