| NEW KAWASAKI TRIMMERS HAVE 30 PERCENT MORE ENGINE CAPACITY |
 Two new models are “beefed up” for heavy-duty trim jobs.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—Kawasaki is introducing two new string trimmers built for heavy-duty grass and weed trimming. The KBL35A and the KGT35A are both powered by Kawasaki’s new TJ35E engine that features a hefty 34.4cc (2.1 cu.in.) displacement, which delivers plenty of power for cutting through the toughest grass.
These new trimmers, patterned after other popular Kawasaki units, feature a larger engine, heavy-duty clutch and drum, light-weight hollow steel drive shaft, and an adjustable loop handle with added safety barrier bar on the KBL35A.
The KGT35A is designed specifically for grass and brush trimming, and is equipped with an ergonomic-shaped cutter guard for easier close-in trimming. The KBL35A comes with a larger cutter guard, and a blade-capable head that allows users to switch the trimmer head with optional metal blades for extreme-duty grass cutting.

| Happy Independence Day! |
|
This weekend, as we fire up the grills and the sparklers (and some pyrotechnic contraband, depending on where you live), we also fan the flames of patriotism and of brotherhood, knowing that despite our differences of opinion in politics, the flames in our bellies are unending and conceived in the spirit of the unity of all voices.
Happy Independence Day!
*I realize if you're not an American this day is as meaningful as Thanksgiving. I remember spending one July 4th in Japan, lighting off fireworks intended for Tanabata, a children's festival about the same time, in a gravel lot with a Scottish lass and an Aussie hot-librarian type. They humored me, I think, because they sensed it was important to me, and remained supportive until a lone Japanese teen in black, a fan of the band Slipknot he said, imposed himself on our little pity-the-lost-American party. He picked up a firework I'd just lit—a real nasty looking one—and sprayed the area as if holding an Uzi, shouting, "I like destroy!" as we ducked for cover. He said he also loved America, so go figure. Point is, it's just another Friday for you, but for us it's sacred. Bear with us until we get it out of our system, which is probably never, God bless America.

| Flag Day (June 14) |
 What we know fondly as the “Stars and Stripes” was adopted by the Continental Congress as the official American flag on June 14, 1777, in the midst of the Revolutionary War. Colonial troops fought under many different flags with various symbols and slogans — rattlesnakes, pine trees, eagles, “Don’t Tread on Me,” “Liberty or Death,” and “Conquer or Die,” to name a few. The first flag had 13 stars on a blue field and 13 alternating red and white stripes for the 13 original colonies. Now there are 50 stars, one for each state in the Union, but the 13 stripes remain. Flag Day was first celebrated in 1877, on the flag’s 100th birthday.

| Earth Day Tree Planting Record |
|
Tampa, Florida (May 12, 2008) - Tualatin, Oregon based Shindaiwa, Inc participated in a world record setting tree planting event in conjunction with Tampa's PunchlistComplete.com on April 22. The 11th Hour Earthday World Record Tree Planting was designed to alert the public that we have reached the 11th hour and we need to begin considering our place in the environment.
The team of volunteers set a new world record by planting 10,000 Longleaf Pine trees in one day. The earth augers utilized to facilitate the process were specially constructed using Shindaiwa 3410 C4 engines which are known for their low emissions, low fuel consumption, and low noise output. Shindaiwa's 3410 C4 engine is also renowned for its power and environmentally friendly design.
The Longleaf Pine is classified as an endangered eco-system in the Southeastern United Sates and Shindaiwa was pleased to help using their environmentally friendly engines.
