OPINION
I was a member of the Prince William County 2013 – 2016 Strategic Planning Team. It consisted of twenty appointees representing a wide variety of political, philosophical, and business points of view. It was a good mix.
This week I got the news I had been waiting to hear: PotomacLocal.com is now an official member of the Local Independent Online News Publishers organization, or LION for short.
I sort of expected it since I was at the founding meeting of the organization this past September in Chicago and because I had paid my membership dues. But it’s good to get the final confirmation and to see your name up there with about one hundred other independent publishers from around the U.S. who are all striving to put “local” back into local news.

MANASSAS, Va. — Helicopters will be buzzing once again in the Manassas area on Monday.
This time, pilots will be flying the choppers with crews from Dominion Virginia Power onboard. They’ll be checking power lines, and replacing insulators on those transmission lines in the area, said Dominion Virginia Power spokeswoman Le-Ha Anderson.
NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — They put it off before but it had to get going again at some point.
Virginia transportation officials are warning drivers to expect daytime closures on Interstate 95 in the area of Quantico Marine Corps Base this week. The work is to repair a slope along the highway and it’s not considered a part of the larger effort to bring I-95 Express toll lanes to North Stafford.
Today is the day C.D. Hylton High School football standout E.J. Levenberry will play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on national TV.
