Wednesday, December 6, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon LETTERS Continued from page 2 been in an accident, let alone been “fired” from our library. I thank Bonnie Malone for her letter to the editor. I, too, am disappointed to hear this! It does not even sound legal! Aren’t there laws to protect injured workers from just this type of thing?! As Bonnie said, “This action does not reflect the community spirit of which we in Sisters are so proud.” Will they be replacing her position with an all-volunteer staff? Was she still the current volunteer coordinator? I would like to hear WHY this took place, the “other side” of the story. Who is to blame for such an “awkward” decision? I read on the Oregon State site regarding returning to work needing accommodations, “As long as you employ six or more persons, you have an obligation to reemploy the worker to the most suitable vacant position available.” “NOTE: Under state and federal discrimi- nation statutes, you may also have an obliga- tion to reasonably accommodate a worker if disabled.” I do hope if she is up to fighting this, she can. Maybe Deschutes County has an overrid- ing law? Kerry Zenich s s s To the Editor: Sisters Habitat for Humanity would like to ask the community to be on the lookout for its utility trailer which was stolen from the Village Meadows job site (between Brooks Camp Rd. and McKinney Butte Rd.) sometime during the Thanksgiving weekend. It is a small, five- by-eight-foot, white, basic, wood-box trailer used to store and haul trash from the job site. If 31 anyone has information about the trailer please contact the Habitat office at 541-549-1193 or return it to the job site, no questions asked. Angela Lund Sisters Habitat for Humanity s s s To the Editor: Is your home/property zoned Multiple Use Agricultural (MUA-10)? Deschutes County is choosing to ignore literal meaning and criteria regarding zoning, easements and variances on property currently zoned MUA-10, single-fam- ily residential: 10050 NE Crooked River Dr., Terrebonne. The commercial nonprofit that purchased property is now seeking to eliminate existing zoning, easements and rules to build high den- sity bed and breakfast, camp ground and park- ing lot “up to 30 guests a night” on two and a half acres in a long-established residential neighborhood. This is a precedent that could affect every- one who is MUA-10 zoning. Property that is directly across from Smith Rock State Park and will open up more commercial development in our already over-used, beautiful state park.
