Just in case you were hankering to help out on Election Day, the Montgomery County Board of Elections is looking for a few (very) good judges. The board, which runs the county's 238 polling places, needs lots of people with technical savvy, good interpersonal skills, and yes, plenty of patience. (Remember the Sept. 12 primary?)
The Board of Elections needs several types of election judges for Nov. 7. Among the requirements are the ability to lift 25 pounds and know how to work with a computer. There is mandatory training. Compensation is $125 for the day for most judges. Chief judges are paid $150. You can expect a very long workday, from about 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Honors for Nine Women
As County Executive Douglas M. Duncan faces the final weeks of his 12-year tenure, county groups are starting to offer kudos and awards to his administration.
But Duncan may have to wait a little longer for his. Next week, the Montgomery County Business and Professional Women, and the county government's Commission for Women will honor nine county women, including Duncan's wife, Barbara C. Duncan , a longtime patron of the arts, whose day job is director of community relations at Sunrise Senior Living in Rockville.
The Tuesday night dinner will be at the Gaithersburg Holiday Inn. Also being honored are:
· Circuit Court Judge Marielsa A. Bernard , the county's first Hispanic judge, who began the National Association of Women Judges Storybook Project at the Correctional Institute for Women in Jessup.
