Have been asking for couple years that either Gazette or Patch do some research on the # of crimes on Lost Knife...a statistical report for at least past 10 years (though it has been a notorious location for crime even farther back than that!) Even tried to get a TV station to do some research and report. And County Council & City of Gaithersburg as well never seemed to want to respond. So I guess it is at least about time that you acknowledged that fact at least in your title of this site. Hummm!

And, by the way, that is not a spike!!!! That is and has been the norm for Lost Knife for decades. Hasn't anyone ever noticed that it is in the Gazette Police Blog and the PATCH basically 'every week'! Rhetorical!

Seems someone @ MVF finally considered one of my community suggestions, free raffle baskets. KnewRead More after 32 years you might 'finally' appreciate at least one of my ideas. Hummm! LOL!

Congratulations to Ms. Cranford, Ms. Peterson and Mr. Dyer on a strong showing. The one issue that IRead More do hope you will consider during your term in office is the request that Ms. Adams had made about a playground in Whetstone Park. There realty does need to be some improvements made there, the old concrete animals are no longer fun to play on. My grandson asks me, “Grandpa, where are the slide and swings?” At least we now have a chance with these three board members.

The voters obviously made the right decision. These three have proven themselves with theirRead More previous activities within the Village. I concur with LenGray's comment above regarding different children's amenities available at Lake Whetstone. If swings and other play equipment were there, it could be used almost year round which a volleyball sand pit has limited use, and I can't even remember the last time I saw someone playing volleyball there. How about some benches for the adults to sit and watch their children play on good old fashioned swings and slides?
