Northmont students form a giant, pink ‘N’ for breast cancer awareness
Northmont Middle School students used their bodies as a symbols of breast cancer awareness this week.
More than 800 of the school’s students, administrators, teachers donned pink Wednesday, Oct. 21, and formed a giant letter “N” for Northmont.
Northmont middle schoolers hope to raise more than $3,000 for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
The breast cancer awareness month effort is being led by the Team Kennedy eighth grader group and intervention specialist Debi Tamplin, a three-year breast cancer survivor.

Drunken La-Z-Boy driver admits guilt
A Minnesota man maybe guilty, but you’ve got to admit he found an interesting way to get from point ‘A’ to the bar.
Dennis LeRoy Anderson plead guilty Monday, Oct. 20, to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk, the Associated Press reported.
Apparently hopped up on eight or nine beers, the 62-year-old drove the converted lawnmower-powered invention a way from a bar and crashed into a parked car in Aug. 2008.
A judge stayed a jail sentence and ordered two years of probation for Anderson.
Not sure if Anderson is still driving the stereo and cup holder equipped chair.
What do you think? What is the strangest vehicle you have ever seen on the road.

KFC offers free chicken again, this time no rainchecks
Despite the headaches it caused consumers, its seems someone over at KFC thought the whole grilled chicken giveaway thing was a success.
KFC is preparing to give a way several million pieces of chicken, according to Jessica Heffner’s Here’s the Deal: Bargains in Hamilton and Middletown.
More than 5,000 Kentucky Grilled Chicken stores will offer a free piece of grilled chicken on Monday, Oct. 26, to the so called “Grilled Nation.”
The company promises there will not be the repeat of the problems experienced last May during its “Oprah Winfrey Show Kentucky Grilled Chicken Two-piece Meal Coupon” promotional.
Customers complained of long lines. Several stores ran out of grilled chicken and the company offered rain checks.
This time KFC promises there will be no need for rainchecks.
KFC President Roger Eaton says things will be orderly and efficient.
“We gear the shifts up so we make sure we’ve got the staffing, we make sure we’ve got the chicken,” Eaton told the AP.
What do you think? Will you collect your chicken or are you over KFC and its offers?
