Disappointed by this new policy, I thought it was a bit ridic- ulous and sad. Are we now to drive to the library just so that we may leave our furred friends in the car? What about during the sum- mer when pets need shade? This policy seems counter-active to the recent walk-friendly changes made to the Sisters downtown area. To forbid pets from resting, leashed, on public property is sure to discourage folks who prefer walking instead of driving four blocks, taking up parking spaces and emitting carbon dioxide. I’m not sure how many others have encoun- tered this new rule, but I encourage them to help me reverse this pet policy to allow our furry friends to remain invited to accompany us to our public library! Cheryl Miller s s s To the Editor: Re: “Where are you, Newberry? Where have you gone?,” The Bunkhouse Chronicle, The Nugget, February 24, page 9). What an awesome and well-written tribute to all my shenanigans. I am truly honored. It goes without saying that I became PFC Newberry (for the third time), shortly after the Ninja attack. I would like to give a thank- you to my partner in crime, Michael Harris, and the beating he took just before boarding the Peleliu to keep within our schematics of the attack, and clarify my home state of Tennessee. Thanks again for honoring me in this article. Shaun Newberry s s s To the Editor: Recently I sat through three days of a trial for which the City of Sisters is prosecuting a fine in the amount of $27,000 levied for leav- ing my former Wild Mountain building on site for 54 days past the end of my 2013 TUP. During most of three days of trial, City Manager Gorayeb was in attendance observ- ing, testifying for one hour, and spending a great deal of time talking to former City Planning Director Pauline Hardie, either prior to or after her several times testifying. Mr. Gorayeb, who at one point walked past me in front of the court house making a show of himself, whistling gleefully while entering the building after a lunch break, gave “taxpayers some value” by not only taking apparent plea- sure in wasting his time away from office, but also in directing the city attorney at the yet- to-be-determined cost which will amount to many thousands of dollars, to prosecute me, a former business owner in our local struggling economy who did nothing more than try and make an honest living. The current allegations about Mr. Gorayeb are and should be disturbing to every con- cerned citizen of Sisters Country. Mr. Gorayeb has a history of trouble as coach of the lacrosse team, bullying citizens in blogs who spoke out in opposition to his views, the aforementioned behavior at my recent trial and now this latest fiasco, which caused our mayor to take action to remove him from his position of “service” to our community. I know how it feels to bear the weight of an investigation. I understand the stress that is endured when someone points a finger in your direction to say you’ve done something for which you should be punished. I am awaiting the ruling in my trial for $27,000 in fines, the likes of which has never before been imposed for any reason in the known history of Sisters, fines which I consider to be bullying on the part of the City while under the direction of Manager Gorayeb. He is now awaiting the result of this investigation. I empathize with Mr. Gorayeb; hopefully he will use this opportunity to reflect upon his behavior and take responsibility for his actions. This is yet one more unnecessary drama during his tenure, for which Sisters has become well-known in the greater commu- nity of Central Oregon. Our community that deserves better. Ky Karnecki s s s
