Santa stopped by Jeff Jones Town Square just long enough for Racheal Baker — your friendly neighborhood photographer/bartender — to snap a photo of him catching up on the latest local happenings. The result is a pretty killer Reader cover, so thanks Racheal!

In this Issue: Supporters seek unobstructed Medicaid implementation; End cannabis prohibition in Idaho; Ten tips for a health...Ben may be gone — and his column "Bouquets & Barbs" temporarily on hold — but we've received a couple of timely "bouquets" that I feel need to be shared, if only because they give me the warm fuzzies. —LK
💐 Anna Schramm wrote in: "I would like to submit a bouquet for the festivities at the tree lighting ceremony. Allegro Dance Studio Dancers entertained the crowd with dance. Sandpoint eateries and Evans Bros & Understory provided cookies, soups, coffee & hot cider to the spectators. All of the food & drink tasted marvelous. It was so special & warmed the insides of everyone in the rain. Only in Sandpoint is there such warmth of spirit & generosity. Everyone appreciated this! Thank You Sandpoint!"
💐 Christopher Lunde wrote in: "As a teacher at the Sandpoint Waldorf School, I am a daily bike commuter during the school year. This means braving all that the weather throws at me. I should also note that my 11 and 9 year old children take these commutes with me too. During the warmer months I enjoy cruising the trails on a mountain bike. Our bikes are important to us.
Earlier this month our garage was broken into and my commuter and mountain bikes were stolen, along with some tools and camping gear. I was shocked and dismayed that this happened in our town, but it did and I was left without bikes. This did not last for very long however.
The parents of the class of students I teach pitched in and put money towards the purchase of a new bike, in particular Ammi Midstokke. She remains humble about her hand in gathering the funds, but I know she had a lot to do with it. Also, Greasy Fingers graciously sold a bike to me at cost.
I am so grateful for the community that I live in."
Do you have a bouquet to share? Leave it in the comments. 💐
"The other crafters weren’t making shitty little hotglue gun projects — the items for sale were beautiful and painstakingly created. The people who stood at the booth had spent hours creating their wares, and to say that they did it for the money is wrong. Behind every crafter and every artist is a story."
