Dear PoPville – Aftermath of a Bike Accident

“Dear PoPville,

Last week I was involved in a bike accident and I unfortunately broke the universal rule of accidents and didn’t call the police and failed to get his insurance information on the spot. I did however, get the man’s name, address and phone number. But now he won’t call me back.

My question is; what can I do now? I am physically okay but my bike will need a bunch of work. The accident was not my fault and I don’t want to have to shell out the money to fix my bike. I also don’t want to sue the man, I didn’t get the impression that he had a lot of resources and I don’t want to destroy his life just to fix my bike. But at the same time I would like some sort of compensation.

Since I’m sure that PoPviller’s will want to debate the merits of my accident I’ll describe it: I was going straight under a green light when a vehicle from the oncoming lane attempted to make a left turn right in front of me. I could do nothing but slam into the front quarter panel of his vehicle. Did a number on his windshield too…”

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!
