      With five new officers in the past seven months – and several more over the course of the past two years – the City of Burlington Police Department has a new look these days.

And what the department has lost in experience as the result of retirements, has been offset by a renewed enthusiasm, according to Police Chief Mark Anderson.

That’s just one of many local stories that fill the pages of the July 5 edition of the Burlington Standard Press.

The newspaper is available one day later than normal this week due to the Independence Day holiday. Copies will be available at retail outlets on Friday. Subscribers will also receive their copies via mail on Friday.

  • STUBBORN FIRE: Firefighters from 80 different departments spent multiple days fighting a persistent blaze at a recycling plant in the Town of Norway.
  • HAYLOFTERS MUSICAL: The title and the topic may be risqué, but the show itself is full of fun and music, Director Pamela Schroeder says of the Haylofters upcoming production of “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” The show opens a 10-performance run on July 12.
