Current Issue

In our April issue, we sit down with two Syracuse police officers to hear about their day to day jobs, how they chose the field and learn about plans to build a new satellite police office at the Southwest Community Center.

We also feature a photo spread from The Stand’s Five-Year Anniversary party held last month. The event welcomed staff, board members and readers to celebrate the project’s five-year milestone in print. Keynote speaker Sean Kirst spoke about the importance of telling community stories and Sen. David Valesky presented The Stand with a proclamation for serving as “the voice of the South Side.”

Other stories include a look at raising the minimum wage, our second Fatherhood Series on single father Ricky Worley and two profile pieces — one on Andrew Lunettta, who is working to house the homeless and Reggie Seigler’s A Friendly Five music column on music educator Dick Ford.
