      Officials at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Burlington can rejoice knowing a new steeple and cross is at the top of their building.

The new steeple, which was installed on Jan. 15, replaces a damaged 18-foot-long steeple toppled from its perch last February.

The story of the nearly yearlong replacement project is included on the front page of this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press.

Copies of the newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail.

The proposed change comes after Bethel Baptist Church, now known as Grace Church, relocated to the Town of Burlington.
  • A RECORD FOR JOEY: Burlington High School basketball player Joey Berezowitz set a new school record for three-pointers in a game by knocking down eight long-range shots in a recent game. His performance bettered the previous mark of seven held by two former players, including Tony Romo.
