MY TURN: Tom Hanley My Turn misleading

In a My Turn column published on March 7, Community Library Network (CLN) Trustee Tom Hanley attempted to oversimplify the ongoing conflict between the Cooperative Information Network (soon to be rebranded as Inland Northwest Libraries, or INL) and the CLN. He framed the debate as a false choice between those who "protect children" and those who do not. This misleading narrative, a classic Straw Man fallacy, is designed to distract from the real issue: the CLN’s unilateral attempt to seize control of the INL and impose its extreme ideological agenda on an entire network of libraries that serve both Idaho and Washington.

They don’t have to slow down for anything,” Korver said. “I’m not going to put up with that. I can’t. It's too important to me.” With no speed limit or stop signs, and no crosswalks, Korver worries the situation will only get worse unless the city steps in.

ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Concussions are NOT just in your head

I’ve noticed that we shrug off traumatic brain injuries like they’re simple headaches. I hear all too often, “I just fell and hit my head, no big deal. Or my daughter fell off her bike without a helmet.” What, No big deal!?! I believe people think head injuries are just something we talk about, but really doesn’t exist. You need to now the seriousness of a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. Let me explain it another way, your brain has the consistency of Jell-O.
