Good morning, Rockville. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 22nd of March.

COMMUNITY NEWS

  • Sue Clark, a Silver Spring retiree known as the soup lady, has made thousands of quarts of soup for neighbors in need over the past five years—she began during the COVID-19 pandemic and now many locals get a warm meal from her kitchen.  WUSA9

CULTURE NEWS

  • Retired restauranteur Renata Vaccari—who ran Rockville’s Amalfi Ristorante Italiano until it closed after four decades—has fulfilled her dream by turning to art. She now uses oil pastel to create local landscapes and plans future exhibitions of her work.  Montgomery Community Media

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Marc Yamada, a lifelong local who spent 37 years on the force, became Montgomery County police chief in July after being unanimously confirmed by the county council. He now leads 1,300 police officers and 650 support staff and is updating policing methods—such as using new technology—and boosting mental health support for his team.  MoCo360
  • WSSC Water urges customers to inspect their homes for leaks by testing toilets with dye tablets and checking faucets, outdoor spigots, and irrigation systems as small leaks waste thousands of gallons and increase water bills. Eligible homeowners may email to request dye tablets and benefit from a free annual plumbing inspection plus up to $9,000 in repairs through the Customer Assistance Program in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Metro Maryland.  Montgomery Community Media
  • The Montgomery County Office of Inspector General released a report criticizing the Transportation Management Districts for failing to file required traffic and public transit reports, noting that some districts had not submitted their reports since 2014. County administrative officer Rick Madaleno said he agreed with the recommendations—he would work on a plan to improve reporting and data collection to better track commuting patterns and taxpayer funds.  Montgomery Community Media

HEALTH NEWS

  • Montgomery County is recognized as one of the healthiest places to live according to the 2025 County Health Rankings report. The report shows a life expectancy of 83 years, better access to care and exercise, and lower rates of smoking and teen births — though disparities among racial and ethnic groups persist and local leaders plan to address them.  WTOP
