Reminder: Free pizza for John and Sarah Connor
As noted last month in this column, Pizza Hut is offering a deal for the aptly named in honor of the latest Terminator installment, “Terminator Salvation.”
The pizza chain will give away a free medium one-topping pizza to anyone named John Connor or Sarah Connor on Thursday, May 21.
Make sure you bring your ID. If not, you may just have to tell them, “I’ll be baaack.”

Get rid of old fridge, get $25 from DP&L
Dayton Power and Light recently launched a program that picks up and recycles old refrigerators and freezers for free. And, to sweeten the deal, participating customers earn a $25 rebate from DP&L.
DP&L residential customers can schedule a free pickup by calling toll free at (877) 545-4112 or registering online at www.dpandl.com/save.
Scott Kelly, senior vice president of Service Operations for DP&L, said about 10 percent of homes have a second refrigerator and 40 percent have a second freezer.
“But many people don’t realize that those inefficient appliances can cost upwards of $150 per year to run. Our appliance recycling program provides our customers with an easy and convenient way to dispose of unwanted appliances in an environmentally friendly way.”
To qualify for the program:
You must be a DP&L residential customer.
The refrigerator or freezer must be empty and in working condition.
The unit must be 10 to 30 cubic feet in size.
There must be a clear path to access and remove the appliance.
The owner of the appliance must give permission for it to be picked up and recycled.
After dismantling, DP&L said that nearly 100 percent of the refrigerator and freezer parts are recycled rather than going to the landfill, and the procedures will follow guidelines and best practices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, allowing DP&L to be a utility partner in the EPA’s Responsible Appliance Disposal Program.

Reminder: Job-seekers can get suit cleaned, resume help for free today
At the beginning of the month, I noted that Long Cleaners would be holding two special deal days to help area folks who are out of work get a suit cleaned for free, as well as help finding a job.
The first of those days is today.
All day today, May 20, and May 27 job-seekers can bring in a copy of their resume and a suit that needs to be cleaned to one of the four area Long Cleaners.
Tom Perry, co-owner of Long Cleaners, said that representatives from Adecco employment agency also will be on hand to give people tips on finding a job, and will fax resumes to Adecco for possible placement.
All for free.
Long Cleaners will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The four stores are in Fairborn on Dayton-Yellow Springs Road, in Beavercreek on Dayton-Xenia Road, in Miami Twp. on Springboro Pike (across from LexisNexis) and in Miamisburg on Main Street.
