Nice column. I met Nicky years ago when we both participated in mountain bike races in SE idaho. I didn't see her for years but then encountered her again here or there in Pocatello. I've had several lengthy discussions with her in grocery stores or on sidewalks. She's very intelligent and consistently passionate about things she considers important. I cheered for her many times as she made her opinions known at city council meetings. Nicky's resolve is impressive as she navigates the needless, ridiculous, obstacles put in her way by the mayor just to have two minutes to make a topical Pocatello point. Actually, she ran enough circles around the Pocatello mayor that usually it was obvious who had the mental edge. A question I've had many times is this: Why does Nicky spend so much time and energy making brilliant two minute comments to an uninterested mayor who has no basic respect?
