Kiki Miller is Coeur d’Alene’s whirling dervish.

There is enough energy in her little 5-foot frame to launch a space shuttle. And she knows how to channel that energy to get things done. That’s what she does for a living — getting things done.

Take, for instance, the inaugural parade of George W. Bush. On Jan. 20, 2001, Miller found herself driving a music-blaring pickup truck down Pennsylvania Avenue past a presidential viewing stand with 90 members of the local Red Hot Mamas marching group in tow, boasting crazy hats and shopping carts.
