West Fraser reports strong balance sheet AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter
Higher pulp prices helped offset lower lumber prices as reflected by West Fraser’s third quarter results. The company reported earnings of $55 million, or $1.29 per share on sales of $878 million compared with $109 million in the second quarter.
In the lumber operations, earnings of $57 million were reported, compared to $105 million in the second quarter and operating earnings plus amortization (EBITDA) of 83 million, compared to $125 million in the second. The weaker results are due to lower lumber prices. Panel segment generated operating earnings
of $6 million, compared to $6 million in the second quarter and EBITDA of $9 million ($10 million in the second). Higher plywood and medium density fibreboard (MDF) earnings were offset by increased log costs and a reduction in MDF production. Pulp and paper operations generated operating earnings of $29 million,
compared to $20 million in the second and EBITDA of $40 million, compared to $31 million in the second. The results are attributed to higher prices, a slightly weaker Canadian dollar and improved northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) production. “Our third quarter results reflect lower lumber prices offset somewhat
by improved pulp prices compared to the previous quarter.” West Fraser CEO and president, Ted Seraphim said. “Given our strong balance sheet and strong cash generation from our operations, we remain focused on our aggressive capital spending program over the next few years as we fully modernize our operations.”
Seraphim also reiterated the company’s support for employees affected by the Houston mill closure. “We made a very difficult decision last week and our full attention is on working closely with affected employees to ensure that they have every reasonable opportunity to find new employment.”

CRD looks at Beyond the Market
Jillian Merrick, Program Coordinator presented an overview of the Beyond the Market project. Some of the issues discussed include the challenges and opportunities of agriculture in the community, contributing factors which have driven change in agriculture such as the economy and crisis within the industry, and partnerships in the program. The Beyond the Market project is an economic development strategy to support the local food and agriculture sector in Northern B.C. The project began in 2010 and has consisted of three different initiatives: new farm development; regional beef value chain; and beyond the market: growing the North. Further information about the project is available online at beyondthemarket.ca.
CRD briefs newsroom@quesnelobserver.com
Grant The Cariboo Chilcotin Regional Hospital District (CCRHD) approved a request from the South Cariboo Health Foundation for funding assistance towards the cost of renovations required to upgrade the 100 Mile House Hospital chemotherapy consultation office. This project is budgeted at $15,473 of which the South Cariboo Health Foundation is requesting funding in the amount of $6,189.20 from the CCRHD Foundation Partnership Grants program, representing 40 per cent of the total cost.
Proposal  The CRD approved in principle proposal information to construct a First
Nations museum at the 108 Greenbelt in the south Cariboo. The project is led by the Northern Secwepemc Cultural Society, which is comprised of five local First Nations including Canim Lake, Canoe Creek, Williams Lake, Soda Creek and Esketemc. The society has not secured the funding necessary for the project, which will be in excess of $2 million, but preparing the land use agreements will allow the group to submit major capital grant applications and undertake consistent fundraising. The initial vision for the museum is an approximately 3,000 square foot structure that reflects aspects of First Nations culture and heritage. An example of a similar approach is the gathering place at the Thompson Rivers University campus in Williams Lake.

Severed line
Thursday, Quesnel RCMP received a report of a downed hydro line in the 100 block of Kinchant Street. The hydro line was damaged after the overhead net of a commercial container truck came into contact with it, causing the line to sever and fall. The driver of the truck remained in the vehicle until BC Hydro crews were able to render the area safe. Fortunately the hydro line did not make contact with the ground and no one was hurt during this incident.

This is one of the steps taken by Highways Dept. officials to speed up traffic to West Quesnel during rush hour periods. Details of the change were contained in a report from George Harper, District Supervisor for the Highways Dept., which was presented to council Monday. Mr. Harper explained that he and his staff had conducted an extensive survey of traffic patterns and density on Front Street and had found that in the half hour from 5:00 to 5:30 p.m., over 200 cars crossed the bridge to the west-side. Peak density was recorded at 5.12 p.m. when cars backed up on Front Street to the old B.C. Telephone building.” ”This Column is to highlight our 50th Anniversary

Ravaging a women B
enjamin Franklin said the only things certain in life are death and taxes. Not to take away from the great wisdom of that but if you live long enough – and work hard enough to pay a hefty amount of taxes – there’s another thing that is almost certain. You will show signs of aging. Although men are now catching up, it is still mostly women who fret about and worry more about the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet and greying hair than men do. It starts in the womb, with the slower to mature XY chromosome types and Mother Nature’s little joke of course, that while males may take a little longer to mature in their teens, they are the ones later on to age “gracefully.” Men are now getting the tans, the tune-ups and tummy tweaks too, but warding off the telltale signs of having lived a life is still mostly a women’s thing. And one of the reasons why there’s no money left for taxes: it can cost a fortune. Here in the North, women also have two more “certain things” working against us. Old Man Winter and Old Man Time. And there’s no stopping them. You can delay the process, however, if you want to invest in a wide range of treatments designed to make you look and feel youthful again. That is why it was amusing to see at the doctor’s office last week a sign offering Botox treatments. There is hope. In that same spot where there used to be a “wart clinics” notice there is now a fountain of youth. Clearly, this is a step in the right direction. – Prince George Free Press

Have a heart, save a life
re you an organ and tissue donor? I thought I was. I remember many years ago agreeing to become one when I was renewing my driver’s license. But after talking to Shelley Hunt and Jessica Royan, and noticing it no longer indicated that I was a donor on my license, I wasn’t so sure anymore. “Canada’s organ donation rate is among the world’s worst,” Jessica told me. “It’s become a national crisis and people are needlessly suffering and dying because of it.” Since people are no longer asked if they’d like to be a donor when registering for car insurance, there has been a significant decline in donors, yet the need for them has continued to increase. When Shelley and Jess learned of our nation’s plight, and the fact that a miniscule 15 out of every million people actually become organ donors, they decided to create the “Because I Can Project” to accomplish two things: create awareness about Canada’s organ shortage and petition
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note for a change to the registration process. The compassionate young women, and their new project partner Levi Sampson, are proposing an opt-out program since it has been so successful in other countries. “Spain is ranked as the world’s highest for organ donations,” Jessica said. “They are an excellent model for Canada and other countries like the United States that desperately need a better system as well.” With new legislation recognizing that each person of a legal age is a presumed organ donor, this would mean people would have to de-register their name if they didn’t want to participate. “This wouldn’t impinge
tensive research on becoming a live donor, she is confident in her decision and the safety of the procedure. “It might seem crazy, but it will actually put me in a safer position than most other Canadians. When you become a live donor, you’re automatically moved to the top of the list and if I ever need an organ in the future, I’ll get one sooner.” My friend Debbie Dupasquier donated her kidney to her mother a couple of years ago and my friend David Knowles donated his kidney to his daughter a few years before that. In both cases the operations were a huge success. Go to BecauseICanProject.com and check to see if you’re a donor. I was pleased to find out that I still am. Also sign the petition provided on the site to change registration to the opt-out program. Once this happens, as in Spain, waiting lists will cease to exist in our country.

on a person’s right to decide the fate of their organs,” she said. “But since 95 per cent of people say they would accept an organ if they needed one and nearly the same amount say they would want to be a donor in the event of their own death, it makes more sense to assume most people would want in than out.” Deceased donors can save the lives of up to eight people, and help dozens more. Shelley, the mother of two young children, isn’t waiting until she dies before becoming a donor, though. She signed up to anonymously donate her kidney. Since meeting a five-year-old boy named Aiden who is in extreme need of one himself, she is now in a partner exchange with him. “I’m not a match,” she said. “But because we’re partnered, that means that as soon as I’m able to give my kidney to someone, he will be moved to the top of the list and get one as well.” Shelley has received some criticism and concern for risking her life, but after ex-

Vote for options Editor: Nov. 9 a no vote is a vote for options. We are not opposed to building a new arena and a theatre; we have concerns regarding the proposed North Cariboo Multi-Centre project. It is time to re-assess the project and come up with something more realistic, something that the community can afford. We have assessed the project from several different angles which is why we are encouraging North Cariboo Recreation and Parks residents to vote no on Nov. 9.
This is our rationale: • The proposed project will cost approximately $22.5 million in recreation taxes alone ($15 million borrowed, $1.9 million pre-taxation; $6 million interest). • Only an estimated 52.6 per cent of the $15 million needed to be raised, has actually been secured through grants and community fundraising. • We have a declining school population – since 2008/09 the number of students has dropped by 25 per cent. • We have an aging demographic – in 2011, the number of persons age 60-64 increased by 30 per cent. • Studies show that sporting facilities do not provide any substantial economic boost to a community. Employment is what brings people to and keeps them in our communities. • Unless other sources of income are found, our recreation taxes are going to have to be increased to address the rise in operational costs while maintaining our existing, aging infrastructure. • The facilities and services that are already provided are heavily subsidized by taxation. The theatre, as proposed, will not be able to operate without tax subsidy.
Letters to the Editor
• The wood supply within the Quesnel Timber Supply Area will be reduced by nearly 50 per cent in the next 15 years. With our reliance on the forest industry for employment and taxation, this reduction in tax base will most certainly affect us. Last week’s announcement that Canfor Quesnel will be shut down in March 2014, is just another indication that the current status quo is unsustainable. To maintain services, the residential tax rate will have to be increased in order to offset losses. The Town of Smithers (pop. 5,400; service area pop. 12,141) is constructing a new arena for $ 4.9 million in 2014. Their project also has a 10 year history. They too looked at a “multicentre” type project with similar figures to the North Cariboo Multi-Centre ($30-$35 million) but their council did not feel it responsible for the town to take on the debt that would be associated with a project of that size. Rather, they have opted for something that they can afford – an NHL size arena with 350 seats with potential for expansion. Provincial and NDI grants have been secured and some monies have been raised. Let’s construct an arena with the funds we have. For the theatre, renovate an existing, empty building; there are plenty of them in the community. Check out www.NOV9.ca for more information. On Nov. 9, vote with your head instead of your heart.

RELIGION
The question to asked oneself is: running away from or running to? spent considerable effort trying to clarify this for us: He is not the danger – selfishness and rebellion are the danger. David tells us in
Psalm 106:21 that “they forgot God their Saviour.” People were looking to a solution doomed to fail themselves and their
own efforts. So when Jesus came to live with us here on earth, Phillip asked Him the same old question, revealing the same old
distortion and confusion: “show us the Father.” Patiently, Jesus points to the truth: “. . .he who has seen Me has seen the Father.” John 14:8,9. God, the
one who made us and loves us is the same as Jesus. He invites us to “run to the solution,” not away from Him. He is, indeed, the
safest place I know. Peggy Corbett is a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and regular Observer columnist.

wo little boys love to play in Dad’s garage. They spend time handling his tools, pretending they are really building that shed that they “need.” They open various cans and bottles, sniffing the mysterious contents – grownup pastes and liquids used for important projects. This is great fun. Mother has instructed them in the past about playing with things here. She allows them free reign with the tools; just “be careful” (the watch-words of all mothers) and be sure to put things back “where you found them.” Then she has given additional caution: up high on a shelf, dad has stored some dangerous poisons. Do not touch or play with these! But after awhile, the play begins to get boring and attention wanders to the high shelf. Maybe they could just have a little peek. They would certainly be very careful. So they find a stool to stand on, just high enough to reach the shelf and that tantalizing, forbidden bottle with the skull and crossbones on it. Smash! The bottle slips from the little hand, crashes to the floor, splinters into pieces and splashes liquid all over the two boys. Horror-filled eyes meet; surely the poison on their skin will eat them up and they will die. What should they do? Quick as thought, they decide: Rrun to mother! They weren’t just in trouble, they were “dying.” So they ran to the safest place they knew. Something similar is true for all of us: we aren’t just in trouble, we are dying. This is the reality of sinful, selfish living. God has

Williams and he performed on some of the major stages across the United States. But by 2007, Corky, longing for the wideopen spaces of B.C.’s Cariboo, moved back to Williams Lake. “After living in Texas for 15 years, I just got a wild hair up my ass to get up and come back to Canada,” Corky said. Corky became known as one of Western Canada’s most beloved cowboy poets, performing his spoken word stories and poetry across the province. With the expert guidance of B.C. storyteller Sage Birchwater, Corky and Jeanine tell the story of their wild and sometimes poignant adventures in the rough-and-tumble world of B.C.’s Chilcotin ranching country. Birchwater is the author of Flyover: British Columbia’s Cariboo Chilcotin Coast (Country Light Publishing), Chiwid (New Star Books) and Williams Lake: Gateway to the Cariboo Chilcotin. He was a co-writer of The Legendary Betty Frank (Caitlin Press) and the editor of Gumption & Grit: Extraordinary Women. Corkey Williams

In 1971, Corky Williams and his wife, Jeanine, moved from Los Angeles to Anahim Lake, B.C., to become ranchers. Corky had grown up on a ranch in Texas along the Mexican border before heading to LA to work in the film industry, but the learning curve was steep for the family as they tried to get used to extremely cold temperatures, marauding grizzly bears, rogue cows and hordes of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. In the West Chilcotin, a country known to be hell on dogs and women, Jeanine said, they thrived. “I loved the ranching life,” she said. But after a freak accident at the Anahim Lake Stampede, Corky, unable to continue life as a rancher, returned to his previous career as an actor. He got his big break when he was chosen to perform at Expo 86. He acquired an agent in Vancouver and landed parts in television shows like CBC’s The Beachcombers and CTV’s Bordertown. After Corky and Jeanine split up in 1990, Corky moved back to Texas to work in theatre productions with his brother Jaston

Kersley residents dismayed with vandalism in recreational area ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter
T
he residents of Kersley, 13 miles south of Quensel, are proud of what they have accomplished. There’s a well-maintained arena and community hall, many community activities and a pristine wilderness area called Sisters Creek Recreation Area (formerly known as the lease lands), administered by Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, Recreation Sites and Trail Branch, as the property is Crown land. A dedicated band of community volunteers maintain the local amenities including the rec area and despite repeated vandalism, valiantly keep up the fight. In the community, volunteer Vince Berlinguette spoke of pushed over school signs, shoulder and road damage, lawns at the community hall torn up and other damage over the years. “It seems to ebb and flow, each time we have a whole new crop getting their licence, it seems to escalate,” he said. And, Berlinguette added, there’s the chronic problem of broken bottles and cans. However, these problems can’t compare to the damage to the recreation area. Originally railroad property, it remained largely unimproved until 2003 when the threat of wildfires
created a hazard concern. The community looked to improve the roads crisscrossing the area and thinning the trees and removing combustible underbrush. “As we were doing this we also wanted to improve the trails already in use,” volunteer Larry Martens said. The lease lands were always popular with the 4X4 and motorbike crowd and both Martens and Berlinguette said they weren’t looking to discourage those who enjoy that kind of outdoor activity, they just wanted it to be safe and ensure the area was useable for everyone. In 2009, under direction from CRD, Sisters Creek Recreation Area was open to the public with trails, including a wheelchair accessible trail, outside toilets, picnic areas with lawns and fire pits as well as extensive 4X4 and motorcycle trails. “So they had somewhere to rip around,” Berlinguette said. “But we became a target because we improved the area.” And shortly after opening, they noticed vandalism at the heritage site shelter. In 1914, Theodore and Cornelia Arnoldus arrived in the Kersley area and setup home close to where the shelter now sits. They are considered one of the pioneering families in the area, with descendants who still call Kersley home.
The shelter displays a picture of the couple and a brief summary of their lives in the area including Cornelia’s daily trek to Sisters Creek (about 2 km down a steep hill) for domestic water. The vandalism was in the form of graffiti, broken bottles and downing of trees for firewood. “I decided to bring firewood so no one needed to cut down trees,” Martens said. “It took me all summer.” But this year the vandals may have pushed the local community volunteers too far. “They ripped the side from the shelter,” Berlinguette said. “And what kind of a mindset sees it’s okay to rip off the vent pipes on the outhouses.” Martens was outraged when they discovered someone had taken a knife and cut the pictures on the shelter walls. “That seems to say they are dangerous,” Martens added. Once again, Martens, Berlinguette and other volunteers will take the time and energy to fix up what has been damaged. “How many times do you fix it before you get too damn old to do it anymore,” Berlinguette said. “So many people in Kersley have worked hard to improve the area and most appreciate the improvements. They’re saddened and angered to see the damage.”
Martens went on to say this is a regional park, summer and winter, used by Kersley people as well as people from around the region. “It’s a shame to see it spoiled.” He added it’s disheartening to see huge boulders moved so vandals can 4X4 on the wheelchair trails. “There’s a big burn mark on the concrete picnic table as well,” he said. “We’ve had such good people enjoy the area but it only takes a couple of bad eggs to ruin it for the rest.” Both men admit there’s not much they can do about it but both agreed they’d like to let the public and especially neighbours know what’s going on and maybe they could help report suspicious activity or out-of-control vehicles to the police. In the meantime, they’re back out fixing the destroyed shelter wall and returning fire pits to their rightful place in the ground; determining which trees they have to take out due to irreversible fatal damage; and bringing in even bigger boulders to try and discourage wanton vandalism. As long as they’re able, Martens, Berlinguette and a vanguard of volunteers will battle the ravages of the unknown vandals, in the name of community spirit.

Quesnel hosts zones
Correlieu hosted zones last weekend, competing on home turf against teams from around central B.C. The home advantage wasn’t quite enough for the team, who ended up in third in their zone.
Despite some cold weather, fans still came out to support the Clan. The Clan took to the field against a strong Williams Lake team for their first game, losing 1-0 at full time. In their second game, the
Clan played against South Peace. This time, the team impressed their hometown fans with a 3-1 win. Correlieu faced two backto-back difficult games, facing off against Prince George, losing 2-0 then 1-0.
In their final game of the tournament, Correlieu took on South Peace once again. Correlieu came back from the dual disappointments with a strong 6-0 victory to end the tournament on a bright spot.

After a month learning how to run and jump and flip at the Quesnel Gymnastics Club, I've found out my body is more capable than my mind gives it credit for. We were warming up last week when I realized this, and it came crashing down on my head this week, in my last session with the club. We were warming up on the floor and I was taught how to tumble, a fairly easy proposition. Now, tumbling doesn't look all that cool, but it's a bit of fun, especially if you go into it at a flat out run. Then one of the parkour students grabs a soft box vault

That wasn’t the approach I took though. I just kept trying and kept landing on my butt. And that was the ignominious end to my time as a gymnast. I may be down, but I am not defeated. I will return and will master that and hopefully a couple of other neat tricks, when I find the time.

It's just finding the time or getting a round to it or… It's just getting it into your mind and then doing it, without thinking, without worrying about what else you could be doing and without dreading the exertion. It's like tobogganing: the hardest part is getting in position, but speeding down the hill makes it worthwhile. Next up, I'm dropping by Bob Deane's Black Belt academy to learn a bit of Tae Kwon Do. –Jonas Gagnon is the sports writer for the Observer.

Best in the region The QJS Spartans dominated their regionals Oct. 22, winning every game. “They learned a lot over the season and are excited to play the rest of the teams from around our area,” coach Monica Klassen said. The Spartans played three teams
from Williams Lake, beating first the 9/10 team, then the younger grade 9 team, before beating the older grade 10 team to win their region. The win opens the way for the team to compete in the zones. Duchess Park will host the zones Nov. 8 – 9

Clan’s season ends
The Correlieu Clansmen closed out their season with a 35-14 win over the Pemberton Grizzlies at Cariboo field last Sunday. An enthusiastic crowd gathered in beautiful, if a bit windy, fall weather to watch the final game of the season. Touchdowns were scored by Brian Fisher, Nathan Erickson-Smith, Dan McDougall and Garth Kennedy. McDougall ran for over 100 yards as quarterback and set the tone for this season’s hard hitting Clan players. Other outstanding efforts were delivered by Tom Simpson, who played as tight end and linebacker and by team tackle leader Krauzby Rea Templeton. With the final game of the year under their belt, the coaches are looking forward to next year. The team will have 22 returning players preparing next spring and summer due to a high concentration of young players on the team. The Clan was mostly a grade 10 and 11 team and went through a tough rebuilding year in 2013. "While we didn't win any regular season games, we lost three very close ones – notably losing by only three points last week to College Heights, currently in 2nd place in the Northern Division and last year's conference champion. The Clan wishes a fond farewell to Grade 12 players Joey Melville, Tom Simpson, Elija Dumont, Nathan Erickson-Smith and Jordan Mullen. Erickson-Smith finished his highschool career with several interceptions in the last two games and several circus catches to keep drives alive in dramatic fashion.

Question
Rounding up and riding the RAM range
OF THE WEEK:
2014 RAM Roundup
What is it that appeals to you about the car?
The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships. Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger
2014
is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration. Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large
7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago.

Like the Mustang, it was built on rather ordinary sedan underpinnings but the result was handsome, well made and, in the case of the V-6 powered cars, fast. It was quite popular in the early 1970s, selling more than 100,000 units in its first two years. Where they all went is anyone’s guess. Status: Endangered

Status: Extinct 4. 1984-1985 Ford EXP Turbo: The basic idea was simple: Take an Escort coupe, rip out the back seats to make it a “sporty” two-seater. The problem was that the EXP weighed 200 pounds more than the already pathetically slow Escort. It took two years to remedy the issue by giving the EXP an optional turbocharged 1.6-liter that made 120 horsepower. But the car was priced at nearly $10,000, making it more expensive than a Mustang GT 5.0 Status: Endangered
5. 1975-81 Volkswagen Scirocco: The VW Scirocco was a replacement for the popular VW Karmann-Ghia. The VW Rabbit-based, frontwheel drive, water-cooled car had angular styling, courtesy of Italdesign and Giorgetto Giugiaro. As rust-prone as anything of the era, the first-generation has thinned almost to extinction, particularly those first-year cars with pretty chrome bumpers and funky plaid seats.

Women are a huge driving force (pardon the pun) in the car-buying world. Studies show that around 60 per cent of new vehicles purchases are made by women. Further to that, matriarchs heavily influence decisions on car buying within the family, too – perhaps as much as 85 percent of all purchases. While many hubbies would love a hot, little sports car, perhaps it’s not always ideal for, you know, life. Buying a vehicle is considered to be the second biggest purchase someone can make. The first is your home. So when someone says it’s not that big of a deal, it kind of is.
Not only is it a long-term decision, but a financially significant one as well. It can also bring up many emotions: excitement, stress, anxiety and more. Leading up to the 2013 Vancouver International Auto Show, I had the privilege of assisting six women with their new car purchases. They gave me a budget and a list of “needs and wants” and then we went to the drawing board. The experience opened my eyes to a few things. Though each of the women were looking for something different from each other, there were common threads that presented themselves. Here are a few of the top things I observed.
Price Budgets are very important to everyone. And sticking to it was even more important for the women I worked with. Yes, there are always temptations to get a few extra bells and whistles, and if you can work it into your bottom line, that’s ideal. But the navigation package or premium sound system wasn’t a must-have. Warranties Additional warranties were paramount. For those not leasing and swapping vehicles every four years, having the extra bit of protection from wear and tear was something they wanted to accommodate in their budgets, especially those
This Mean Mower gets the grass cut at high speed Honda’s ‘Mean Mower’ is set for a special appearance next week in front of 60,000 trade visitors at the world’s premier automotive speciality trade show, SEMA in Las Vegas. The 1000cc, 109hp lawn tractor will appear on Honda’s stand within the Las Vegas Convention Centre alongside the 2014 Civic coupe, which makes
its world debut at the show, as well as an array of personalised Honda cars and motorcycles. Commissioned by Honda (UK) and built by its British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) partner, Team Dynamics, Mean Mower is set-up and geared to achieve a top speed of 133mph, weighing just 140kgm, producing 96Nm
of torque and an incredible power-to-weight ratio of 532bhp/tonne. The project saw Team Dynamics re-engineer a Honda HF2620 Lawn Tractor from the groundup, adding a custom-made fabricated chassis, a 1000cc engine from a Honda VTR Firestorm, a bespoke suspension and wheels from an ATV. It features a
custom-made paddle shift six-speed gear system, a bespoke sports seat, a Scorpion exhaust system and a steering rack taken from a Morris Minor. Every effort has been made to retain as much of the look of the original mower as possible. The cutter deck was custom-made in fibre-glass, to reduce weight, while, in a stroke

of pure genius, the grass bag provides a happy home for the fuel tank, a high capacity oil cooler and a secondary water cooling radiator. Mean Mower can also still cut grass, at up to 25 km/h, thanks to two electric motors on the cutter deck, spinning 3 mm steel cutting cable at an incredible 4000rpm.
