Fiesty little girl
from Kansas
“Independent and headstrong” is how she describes herself as a
child. “The only times I ever got spanked were when I sassed my
mom,” said Cloann Wilkins-McNall, a little sprout who grew up on
the Kansas/Colorado border. “Sometimes, with mom, I knew it was
something I had to say even though I knew I was going to get
paddled,” she confessed. Cloann
was the middle child, growing up between two brothers. She
maintains that living with her older brother Bryce, and always
trying to compete with him, was good life experience. “He liked
to challenge me with words and situations. He wanted to see if I
could outsmart him, which I could never do, because he was very
intelligent,” she said.

Letter to the
Editor: D. Craig Anderson and Greta Anderson-DeSola
This
letter is to notify
Clearwater
County residents that the children
of Cliff Anderson were shocked and angered to learn that the
campaign of Carole Galloway used his picture and quotes (most
likely out of context) in her ads. We consider using these from
a person who passed away
April 10, 2011 as
very “shoddy” campaign practices. We are also certain that Cliff
would have been angered and disappointed as well! No one will be
able to verify who he would have voted for. However, as a
lifelong Democrat, it is highly unlikely that he would have
supported a Republican even if he was disappointed in a
Democratic candidate. He probably would have left that one
blank.
