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?

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.

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.
