LeShae Esberry, 16, of the 9900 block of Forest View Place in Northgate was last seen at home on Nov. 6. She is a junior at Watkins Mill High School, where school administrators are “working closely” with police and family to find her, said Principal Scott Murphy.

Esberry is described as 5’4” tall, weighing 125 to 130 pounds with brown eyes and long, black hair.

I refrained from comment yesterday when the alert was posted avoiding consternation for saying "she will be found" because, though all Amber Alerts have to be taken seriously, it is becoming the norm (e.g. for kids in G'burg & the Village w/increase in such alerts) to take off on whim w/o telling anyone. If anyone watched Towne Hall mtg other nite when question was asked by Councilmember Floreen "how many of you have curfews", not one 17 or under raised their hands. That was an eye opener! We don't have a 'teen problem'; we have a 'parental (lack thereof) problem' Parents, know where your children are; learn who their friends are; set boundaries. And, when boundaries stretched, impose restrictions. We ARE the adults. Not our preteen & teenage children!

Amazing the difference in taste! I thought I like baked sweet potatoes until I bought some from theRead More farmer's market--now I eat them for dessert! Amazingly sweeter and redder too!

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?
