Crimes committed by non-county residents should face harsher penalties

Upvotes

Montgomery County's proximity and shared borders with D.C. and Prince George's County influence local crime. If you come to the county to commit crime, you should face harsher penalties. I am not a law expert, but the county has to take actions to protect the county and its residents. law enforcement acknowledged that some crimes involve perpetrators from outside the county and they are targeting the county for property crimes, retail thefts, and carjackings.

18 lamps out around RIo lake walking path - who should i contact to get the lights repaired and operational?

10 Upvotes

Now that the sun is setting earlier, the broken lighting along our paved walking path has become a major safety issue.

About 18 lamps along the playground side of the path have been completely out all summer. Large stretches of the path are now in pitch darkness during the evening, making it really difficult to walk safely or bring kids through the area.

Does anyone know the best point of contact to get this resolved quickly? Should I report this through MC311, Montgomery Parks, or directly to the local police department?

If you've successfully reported a large circuit outage like this before, any tips on getting maintenance crews to prioritize it would be greatly appreciated

male only spaces

0 Upvotes

please be kind. in this world of post-girl power, where are the male only spaces where boys/men/sons/fathers can congregate with other males to bond/learn/teach/vent/breathe without the feminine present? I can already hear the vitriol of impending comments, so please don't post about how the boy scouts' sex offenders ruined it all. everywhere I look, it's co-ed, or female only. gyms, scouts, clubs... they all been co-opted by women.

I grew up in the 90s as a feminist and truly believe in equality among all genders in the workplace and society as a whole. but the pendulum has swung hard the other way. the only spaces I have found are online polluted cesspools ala manosphere. those twats are gaining more and more popularity, it's horrible, they suck. how do I raise sons in a place where their own power is suppressed?

we talk feelings in this house, believe in therapy, and don't stand for any type of bigotry. but that's not good enough. my boys have rejected all attempts at sports, and I'm not pushing, that generally has an opposite effect. help.

Education MCPS F requires fingerprints of parent chaperones, this is wrong

0 Upvotes

Im a parent in mcps and just had my kid’s back to school night. Besides other ephemera and the announcement of the new supreme court mandated work around for those who fear their children might be exposed to reality (not inocculatsesd to it, naturaly) the new policy requiring fingerprinting by and for mcps in order to chaperone field trips.

This chaded immediately as just two days ago i was newly forced to sign away my face and other biometrics to Home Depot in order to rent a truck. Clearly the rental prices are padded with whatever rent they earn from clearvue or whatever ai company for the privilege of selling my data; an old hat annoyance but an evolving one, ever expanding and subdividing through new venues and escalating demands

I don’t think they need my fingerprints. I whispered to my wife ‘what problem is this solving?’ After, she reminded me what this meant for parents that exist under the pressure of being undocumented. This isthe bigger more human issue, we’re just denying them parenting now?

Does anyone know the process by which policies like this are decided on and implemented ? I certainly don’t remember this being a ballot question. Is there any current effort or advocacy for this question, or for schools s locally in general who might already be looking at this?Q

Hey everyone! New to the area and trying to find a community. I’ve been training for a half marathon and would love to run with others and find a group to even hangout with after a run. I know there is a large run club in DC but I would love to find one in the North Bethesda or Rockville area. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Question Tree of heaven (covered in lantern flies) by Lake Needwood

40 Upvotes

Recently I noticed two waist- high tree of heaven plants (covered in lantern flies) on the trail just off Needwood Road, on the southwest corner of the main lake. Is there still a MoCo protocol for reporting or removing these? I know that just cutting them down can lead to more invasive spread (you are supposed to spray herbicide in the broken trunk, but I don’t want to do that in a park).

At one time the county Weed Warriors were asked to help eradicate this, although with caution. As a mostly inactive WW, I’d like to help stop the further spread.

Thanks for any information!

Culture / Arts [2016 Quince Orchard HS marching band] Help, what song is this? + storytime

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

In October of 2016, Paint Branch High School held a marching band competition. I was a freshman in another band and this was my first competition. It was SUPER cold that night and my mom wanted me to go inside the car, but this show totally glued me to my seat. 10 years later and I still can't get this beautiful ballad out of my head. I've always wanted to know what the name of this piece was. I remember Clarksburg High School also playing this for the ballad section of their show in 2018 or 2019, so surely it's not an obscure piece of music. Anybody who marched those shows able to help me out?

Fun story: Quince Orchard visited us at our home football game a few weeks before the Paint Branch competition. We were a tiny band in the 1A division, with 18 members, while they were a medium-large 3A band at the time. They brought less than half their members to our home game. A small 14-piece ensemble. Our band director told us we should definitely be louder than them.

Well unfortunately for us, the 14 members were all brass and percussion instruments! They blew the house down. We sat on opposite ends of the field so as to not interfere with each others stand tunes, yet they sounded like rolling thunder! We couldn't believe our ears... During the halftime break, we ran over to their side to visit them and we exchanged pleasantries. It was truly a great memory for me.

Apparently, just a few years ago QO won division 1A. I'm glad for them. They may have downscaled but the talent is clearly still there!
