“Dear PoPville,
I had about $1,500 worth of guitar pedals stolen out of my trunk in Shaw a few weeks ago, filed a police report, reported to insurance, and figured that was that. However, one of the pedals was a custom job (one of its kind in the world) so I set up an eBay search for the text on the pedal. Sure enough, I got a hit a couple of days ago, and it appears that somebody in Edgewater, MD is selling off my gear. That unique pedal is gone now, but another one that is obviously identifiable as mine (broken knob and scratch patterns match my photos). Based on the seller’s other listings (large number of random tools and electronics), dollars to donuts says he’s in the business of selling stolen items. I called the detective who was assigned to my case and he’s telling me there’s nothing they can do because the seller is in Maryland. Any advice on how to pursue this further? I’d love to get my stuff back, and I’d think MPD would take an interest in a felony-level theft that’s likely tied to many more cases.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
