2 Chosen for Montgomery Board
The Montgomery County Council has selected a community activist and a developer to fill two vacancies on the Planning Board, which sets land-use policy, oversees parks and reviews development plans.
Clarksburg Town Center community activist Amy Presley, who helped bring to light construction irregularities in the development, replaces Allison Bryant, whose term expired this month, in the Republican seat. Joseph Alfandre, who developed Kentlands in Gaithersburg, will fill the Democratic seat of Gene Lynch, who died in January.
The council unanimously backed Presley in its first round of voting Tuesday. Alfandre was chosen after a series of votes in which council members also nominated transit activist Ben Ross and former Prince George's County parks director Marye Wells-Harley.

Man, 19, Shot on Bus in SE
A 19-year-old man was shot in the back and critically wounded on a Metrobus in Southeast Washington early yesterday, a Metro spokeswoman said.
The man was shot about 1 a.m. on the A6 route on Wheeler Road, after a dispute between two groups, said Metro spokeswoman Candace Smith.
Two teenagers, ages 14 and 17, were arrested and charged with assault in connection with the dispute, Smith said. However, she said, they were not charged in the shooting.
