"My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Kcoult is a dramatic dra-matic novel that questions whether it is morally correct cor-rect for parents to conceive con-ceive a sibling as a genetic match.

I have to excercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing. do-ing. - Marsha Doble Liz Elder Continued from page 16 The easy politics of high school; the delicious intimacy intima-cy of friendships before the need to hold things back reared its ugly head. All this was what I felt in that first little glimpse of red in that side canyon. Then I went back to dodging cars filled with almost dead teenagers teen-agers driving too fast down my canyon in this world I think I own because I've been here so long.

(This writing writ-ing would take two sides, as most coins did. Buss is as printed.) Most trade coins and tokens were for drinks, cigars, merchandise or cents in trade, but were a great way to advertise a business. There are similar certificates certif-icates or coupons used by merchants to this day, as an ad in a grocery flyer stating: Coupon good for $1.00 off a bag of potato chips if you buy two of like kind, or 50 cents off a package of jello, etc., each an enticement to come into their business or buy a certain product, or to try a new product. Envelopes are sent in the mail to resident's homes, loaded with coupons cou-pons to visit a variety of businesses to purchase a vacuum cleaner, a furnace fur-nace duct cleaning for $99, a car tune-up, an oil change, etc., and how about the coins used at car washes such as Cascade Cas-cade Car Wash a few years ago, that were given giv-en out by a gas station after filling your vehicles with so many gallons of gas. These are similar enticements en-ticements to those used by early businesses in our community's history. How many children have gathered bottles in days past, returned them to the corner grocery store -- Peays Market, Westside Market, Jensen's Jen-sen's Sage Creek Market, Brookside Grocery, etc., in exchange for penny candy? Can you visualize the kids running to the store barefoot with a few bottles in a little wagon, excited to pick out a piece of candy. Coins and tokens, returnable re-turnable bottles, certificates, certifi-cates, etc., have played a very important role in our history and continue to do so today, as these items have now become a desirable desir-able collectors item worth considerably much more than a 5-cent cigar.
