“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.

Maniac Mudd Ball raises money for local charities
Late in September a few people began discussing
two of Orofino’s many charitable organizations, Christmas 911
and ICARE, and what they could do to raise money and help them.
Maniac Mudd Ball was formed, and by mid-November there were four
teams rolling around in the mud at
Orofino
City
Park.
Mudd Ball’s idea came from the very successful Blizzard Ball
that happens annually in
Missoula
Montana.
It’s basically a softball game, but instead of using a regular
