Harrisburg Doctor to Run Marathon
September 25th, 2009
Harrisburg
PA
Dr. Steve Remillard of Capital Chiropractic
in Harrisburg is currently training to run the race of his life
– the Marine Marathon – on October 24 to raise money for the
Semper Fi fund which covers health care expenses for critically
wounded Marines.
The 43-year old chiropractor hopes to generate awareness and
funds through his athletic fundraising efforts. “These guys
and their families have struggled financially because of injuries
they sustained serving our country. I feel like this is my time
to try to give back a little. This marathon will be the most
challenging run of my life.” The doc’s goal is to raise $2,600
for the cause…or $100 for each mile of the 26-mile marathon.
To kick start his fundraising he is offering free chiropractic
care and massages for his current patients for a full day in
exchange for donations to the Semper Fi Fund. The
Marine Corps Marathon will be held October 24 in Washington,
D.C.
CAR Allowance Rebate System
President Obama signed into law a program the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is calling the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS). This is a federal program that helps you purchase a new, more fuel efficient vehicle when you trade in a less fuel efficient vehicle.
While the CARS Act makes transactions on and after July 1 potentially eligible for credits under the CARS program, interested dealers and consumers may want to wait until all of the detailed issues that must be addressed in the implementing regulations are resolved and the final rule is issued. Issuance will occur around July 24. In the meantime, please visit CARS.gov, for answers to the most commonly asked questions. We are updating the website as information becomes available, so check back often. Read More...

Congress extended the deadline from Fueburary 17th to June 12, 2009. Even though the deadline had been pushed back, WJAL and some other stations had already made the transition. So is important that consumers get dtv, and act now. Read More...
