Chairman Fritz Lahner revisited a number of equipment issues that had been discussed at the groups’ last meeting, and brought up some parking lot visibility problems. Lahner said members have found it difficult to see oncoming traffic when leaving via the first parking lot exit. “It’s hard to see around that turn,” he said. Committee member Susan Morris said that maintaining hedges bordering the course and parking area could GREG ELLISON/BAYSIDE GAZETTE help alleviate some of that.

Please send all letters and other editorial submissions to Opinion [email protected] by 5 p.m. Monday. Counting all ballots smart thing to do

The Ocean Pines Board of Directors has a choice, as ballot counting begins. It can direct election officials to record every vote cast, or order it to restrict the count to candidates the board has recognized as legitimate and wait to see if the Worcester County Circuit Court agrees. That’s about the sum of Judge Sidney Campen’s decision Mon- day, when he refused to extend a stay on the election process requested by plaintiff Rick Farr, whose candidacy was declared void by the board of directors in July. At issue, as most everyone knows by now, is whether Farr’s membership in a real estate trust constitutes property ownership for election qualification purposes. Campen told the parties in Farr v. the Ocean Pines Board of Di- rectors he would decide that matter at a hearing later this month, but in the meantime the vote count could proceed. He left it to the board to decide how that should be handled, but the choices it faces aren’t that simple. If the board sticks with its position that Farr is not a candidate, and doesn’t record the votes cast for him, it still can’t announce the winners with any certainty. The judge, after all, could decide in Farr’s favor. If he does, votes for Farr would have to be added to the total, with the possibility of a different outcome hanging in the balance. Another scenario is that the Elections Committee could count LETTERS TO THE EDITOR all the ballots, with Farr doing well enough to win a seat, but the judge decides against him.
