Publisher’s Post
Before any great journalism is made, a publisher must listen to his community.
As we prepare to ring in 2017, we’re also preparing for another year of producing great, quality journalism that is worth your time and attention.
For a brief moment, we pause
It’s at this moment the world is merry and bright. Families travel to be with each other. Gifts of appreciation are shared. Memories are made.
My recent one-on-one with the publisher session at One Degree Captial was a success.
I enjoyed meeting with community members and business leaders in Occoquan, as well as representatives from the Prince William County Solid Waste Division, The Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and Associates in Gastroenterology.

The 42nd annual Dumfries Christmas Parade was held Saturday.
This was my third year taking the microphone and announcing the marching groups, floats, and area elected officials who all participate in the Christmastime tradition.
Do you have a pothole on your street that has been ignored for some time? How about a dirty playground in your neighborhood that is no longer a safe place for children to play?
Maybe you have some good news, like an amazing friend who organized as successful neighborhood watch program. Or, maybe you have a teacher who went the extra mile to help her students learn.
By now, I hope you’ve made it where you are going for Thanksgiving.
For my wife and I, we spent the day traveling on Virginia highways making our way over the river and through the woods to grandma’s house. This is the third time we’ve made the annual trip to be with family for this special holiday.
I saw the name of a Stafford County Sheriff’s Deputy, who was shot four times the line of duty earlier this week identified today in the media only through court records.
Thankfully, the deputy is on his way to recovery after a successful surgery.

Potomac Local, like many organizations, tried to get Hal Parrish and Jeremy McPike on stage for a debate this election season.
To our dismay, and to many of those who looked forward to the debate, it never happened. But it was not for lack of trying.

I went home Wednesday night and finished working on the fence in our backyard.
We installed a new gate to a side yard. Our two goats will enjoy this new large space, and I’ll enjoy the fact that they will eat all the unwanted foliage there.
