📰 News we're reading
• U.S. measles cases hit 35-year high, here's where Montgomery County stands (mymcmedia.org) — Montgomery Village residents are currently seeing zero active measles cases in Montgomery County, even as Maryland faces rising outbreaks elsewhere. County health officials credit high school vaccination rates and urge families to double-check immunization records, use free county clinics if needed, and call ahead before visiting doctors or urgent care if measles symptoms appear, to protect vulnerable neighbors. 
• Hoggle Murder Trial Rescheduled Weeks Before October Start (patch.com) — Montgomery Village residents following county courts should know that the long-delayed murder trial of Catherine Hoggle, accused in the 2014 disappearance of her two young children, has been pushed back again and will not begin until late 2027. After years of competency questions and renewed charges, the case remains unresolved, extending a painful wait for answers in Montgomery County.
