Cooperation between World Leaders Cooperation between World Leaders

Harald Fjellström and Miguel Fragoso shake hands to confi rm the cooperation agreement between Colmis and Millbrook.

Colmis and Millbrook are world leading in providing test facilities in their respective fi elds and now they are going to work together to provide year-round testing services in all climatic conditions.

Th is is the initial sentence in a document written by Miguel Fragoso, managing director of Millbrook Proving Grounds on Wednesday this week. Together with David Cock he visited Arjeplog to sign this agreement with Colmis.

Th e two companies have entered into a joint agreement to provide a wide spectrum of test and development services across the global car industry and other sectors such as energy.

Th is cooperation will be launched at the Automotive Testing Expo Europe 2013 in Stuttgart this coming June.

Miguel Fragoso, managing director of Millbrook, said,“Colmis is a world centre of excellence for extreme cold climatic conditions and we are proud to have reached this agreement with them. Th ere is no question in my mind that together we will off er to the car industry one of the most comprehensive test and development packages”.

Harald Fjellström, managing director of Colmis said,“Millbrook’s deep experience and expertise will be of great

value to us and our clients as we move on together in this cooperation”. Fjellström was very happy to share this great news fi rst of all with all readers of Th e Arjeplog Times.

Lake Kakel is probably the lake with the most ice tracks in the world. Th e lake is situated north west of the town of Arjeplog and is ten kilometres long. On this lake, which is part of Hornavan, there are ice tracks made by Icemakers, Colmis and Revi and the

companies using the tracks include Fiat, Opel, GM, BMW, Jaguar LandRover, Haldex, Mando, Hitachi and several others. Another lake with many tracks is Lake Uddjaur used by BOSCH, Daimler, Knorr-Bremse, Mobis, Laponie & Porsche, among others.

• Hornavanskolan, the secondary high school (gymnasieskolan) in Arjeplog might not have any new students when the new year starts in autumn. Only about 10 pupils have registered their interest in enrolling at the school for the new year. Th is could be the fi rst step leading to the closing down of the school, which was opened in 1995.

• Th ere are six social democrat mem-bers of Parliament from Norrbotten and they are all committed to start a discussion with the government as to what steps can be taken in order to help small municipalities (kommuner) such as Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur to survive.

Th ere are 349 delegates in the Swed-ish government and Maria Stenberg is the only member of parliament from Arjeplog.

• On Wednesday March 20, it is the vernal or spring equinox here in the northern hemisphere. Th is is the date when day and night are about the same length. Th is day also marks the beginning of lighter days and we know that the day will get longer and longer until midsummer, when we have 24 hours of daylight.

Th is is especially important for people in the north as it has been so dark for so long and seeing the light is rejuvenating.

Another good thing is that the sun actually gives off a fair amount of warmth now, which is much appreci-ated by locals.

• In last week’s issue of Th e Arjeplog Times, we wrote that the future of Ice-makers will no doubt be in the hands of Josef, only son of Lars Sundström and Lena Rönnholm. Josef ’s surname (family name) is Rönnholm and not Sundström, as we wrote.

In Sweden there are many couples that live together as married and they often keep the names that they

received when they were born.When these couples have children, the children sometimes take the father’s name and sometimes the mother’s surname and sometimes both names.

Sometimes children will change their name, when they are old enough to decide for themselves. So within the same family, you can fi nd one child with the father’s surname and one child with the mother’s surname.

Josef has taken his mother, Lena’s surname and she is pleased about this because as she says, there is a risk that the name ‘Rönnholm’ might die out as there are almost only girls born into the family.

Th is is a convertible version of the BMW 135 that Hornavanskolan will receive as a gift from BMW. It is not a picture of the actual car that they will get.

School gets a brand-new BMW

BMW is donating a brand-new sports car to Hornavanskolan (the secondary high school). It is a nice blue BMW 135 that will be given to the school during a ceremony next Tuesday.

Th e German ambassador and representatives of BMW Sweden will attend the ceremony at Hotel Lyktan.

Th e man behind this generous gift is, of course, Wilhelm Cordes.

He says that they have always had a very good relationship with Horna-vanskolan and because he practically lives in Arjeplog he told his bosses in Germany that the students really need a car to work on.

Cordes says that previously BMW has donated two motor bikes and complete diesel and petrol engines. Th e car, that is for the Japanese market, has the steering wheel on the right side. Apart from this it is a current sports model BMW.

Spare time activities: I spend a lot of my spare time doing sports and often with my family and our dog, a large poodle.

We go ski touring (Tourenski in Ger-man) which is an activity where long distances are covered on skis. Touring is generally done on trails which are not maintained, and without any

mechanical lifts to get up hills. I also like mountainbiking.

In Arjeplog I like to go cross country skiing on the trails in the forest and I bring my skis with me from Germany. I also like snow-mobiling here.

What is good in Arjeplog?Th e testing is very good here. I like the nature and the silence. Going through the forest on skis is wonderful.

What is bad in Arjeplog?Th ere is nothing really bad here. We have everything we need and things work well.

What music you enjoy?All kinds of music. I like old rock music and new pop music and I also listen to classical music.

What is important in life?Family, friends and health.

For me, it is important to play sports with my friends and do sporting activi-ties with my family.

A good job is also important, one that you are satisfi ed with.

Th e freedom to roam, or everyman’s right is the general public’s right to access public or privately owned land for recreation and exercise. Th e right is called the right of public access to the wilderness or the right to roam. In Swedish it is known as Allemansrätten.

In Sweden this freedom is granted by the Constitution because “everyone shall have access to nature”.

As in other Nordic countries, the Swedish right to roam comes with the responsibility to look after the country-side; the maxim is “do not disturb, do not destroy”.

Allemansrätten gives a person the right to access, walk, cycle, ride, ski, and camp on any land - with the exception of private gardens and land under cultivation. Th ere are restric-tions for nature reserves and other protected areas.

It also gives the right to pick wild fl owers, mushrooms and berries (not the legally protected ones) but not to hunt. Swimming in any lake and putting an unpowered boat on any water is permitted unless explicitly forbidden. Visiting beaches and walk-ing by a shoreline is permitted, unless

it is within the immediate vicinity of a residence.

Since 1975 it is generally not permitted to build a new house near (generally 100 m) from a beach and/or shoreline. Th is is in order to better protect access to water and the right to walk along beaches. However, in a place like Arjeplog, it is quite ridicu-lous as we have so much space.

You are allowed to drive a car on a private road unless explicitly sign-posted otherwise and you are allowed to put up a tent on any uncultivated land for a night or two.

Friday March 15

Sunrise: 6.07Sunset: 17.48Length of day: 11 hrs 40 min

Monday morning, Hornavanskolan is full of life again, pupils and teachers are back after one week of spring

leave. A school should be full of life and special occasions. When you work with people, one day is not like any other day and that makes it so interesting and fun.

My work as a work placement coordinator at Hornavan-skolan is fantastic. I have the privilege together with

the pupils to fi nd work placement opportunities for them in Sweden and in Europe. It is so interesting to sit down and talk to them, to fi nd out their goals and to see them grow as individuals.

At the moment I have third-year pupils at Volvo Cars, Opus Bilprovning, Car Events, Driving Event Produc-

ers in Sweden, Bull star in Norway, Millbrook Proving Ground, Jaguar Landrover in the UK, Audi AG, BMW AG and Porsche AG in Germany. Th ey have just completed their fi rst week and have three more to go. Th ey will come back with a lot of impressions, knowledge and self-confi dence.

During the years I have worked with many automotive companies and I have learnt that it is important to

meet people where they are at the moment, to communicate and to be open-minded. If we succeed in teaching the pupils these important skills we educate them for the future. Th ey do not only need knowledge of technical subjects and mathematic/physics skills, they need to be encouraged to be active citizens and participate in society.

At Hornavanskolan we work with entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial learning. Th ey study cultures and

manners in other countries as well as how to become a good and open-minded citizen.

I t is a privilege to cooperate with so many companies and this has taught me so much over the years. Th ese compa-

nies have helped Hornavanskolan in so many ways that we would not be where we are today without them. I do not think Arjeplog would be either.

Pupils and Car testing

Cathrin SöderbergWork placement coordinatorHornavanksolan

Personally I think that all those people, pupils and

staff within the automotive industry as well as foreign contacts, make it much more enjoyable to live in Arjeplog. Th ey all make marks in our land. I wish you all the best.

Yvonne Marklund, Norrskensglas – this week’s local Name: Yvonne Marklund.

Age: I will be 54 on March 23.

Family: Husband Kent, 2 children and 2 grandchildren.

Home: Jutis (Moose village) a little vill-age 42 km from the town of Arjeplog.

Company: Norrskensglas, glass studio that I own and run together with Sarah Öjbrandt.

Favourite food: Fish, from the sea as well as fresh water fi sh from the lakes. I also like to eat Chinese food when we go to the city.

Dream car: I like cars in general and specifi cally large, practical and com-fortable cars. I don’t have a dream car but a new large Volvo would probably suit me.

Present car: A white Hyundai I 30 which is small and stable. It does not use a lot of petrol, which is very impor-tant, as I drive from Jutis to the town of Arjeplog and back, almost every day.

My husband and I also have a Subaru Legacy Outback, a 4-wheel drive that is perfect for hunting and fi shing and other outdoor activities.

Spare-time activities: I love the outdoor life. As soon as I have a chance I like to go outside, it does not really matter what I do, as long as I can be outdoors.

In summer, I like digging in my garden, trolling/fi shing on our boat, walking in the forest with my dogs.

In autumn I follow my husband when he goes hunting. I would not like to kill the animals myself, but I love going with him, just being outdoors.

When it is very cold or bad weather in the winter, I enjoy being indoors, baking or cleaning and fi xing things in my house. I love my house!

And now that I have grandchildren, I drop everything when I have a chance to spend time with them.

We are very close to nature, we live right in the midst of it and I love that.

What’s bad in Arjeplog? It is hard to think of something bad here but perhaps the distance to a large city is bad, especially when various services are being cut down. For example, there is no doctor on duty at night and on the weekend and that is not good at all.

What music do you listen to? All music except country and jazz. I love, for example Michael Jackson and his album ‘Killer’ is the best.

What’s important in life? Health is the most important thing both for myself and my closest family. Nothing else matters when you do not have good health.

My family is very important to me as is having meaningful work and enjoy-able spare time activities.

It is also good to have enough money to live the life you want.

I think it is so important to value what you have right now, to appreciate what you have and capture the mo-ment!

And then, of course, it is important not to pollute and destroy the earth.

Yvonne Marklund, Norrskensglas

What’s good in Arjeplog?It is good that everyone knows everyone, it gives a feeling of safety and security. You know who to speak to, if you want something done or if you need help. Th ere is a sense of community here. I think there is a freedom in living in a small place. Th ere are about 40 people who live permanently in Jutis.

Yvonne Marklund and Sarah Öjbrandt started their glass studio and shop in July 2010. Sarah is the expert glassblower and Yvonne is the assistant but she admits that she sometimes does try to produce glass articles on her own.

Th ey design all their own products and say this is what makes their work creative and fun.

For Easter, they have made glass roosters, hens, chicks and eggs that are for sale.

Christian Bock cycled from Arvidsjaur to Mo i Rana in Norway and back via the Blue Road, a trip of nearly 700 kilometres. Th e amazing thing was that he did it in Febru-ary battling temperatures below minus 30°C and sleeping in a tent. See Th e Arjeplog Times nr 7.

Christian is now back home in Austria and happy that the trip was successful. He had many adventures and some problems. In his report he explains that he chose February because he wanted new experiences and to promote per-sonal growth. He wanted to know how and if he could cope with such extreme temperatures.

How did he cope?“Very well in general, but bad mistakes made some nights in the tent miserable. I tried to dry my boots in the sleeping bag and woke up freezing cold. It was minus 30!” he wrote.

Christian did it!

New Mobile App for Proving GroundsA new app for a smartphone will open gates and tell you how many people are already on the test tracks. It will show exactly where you are and if you drive too fast it will report this to Maria in the reception. It will also help customers know if they are booked on a track, as well as many other things.

A small company in Piteå called Rajd has developed an app for the smartphone (only android at the moment) that is specially developed for proving grounds.

Now it is being tested at Colmis Proving Grounds and if everything works well, the system will be used in full force next season.

“Safety is the most important thing for us”, says vice manager Peter Gyllenberg at Colmis.

At the moment ten phones with the app installed are being tested at Colmis. If they and their customers are satis-fi ed with Nelson, as it is called, there could be hundreds of phones installed with the app next season. Th e app cannot be installed in private phones at present.

Th e app can do a lot of things, such as preventing unauthor-ised people from entering certain tracks. It will open barriers in an emergency so that rescue services can get inside, for example if there has been an accident. It will even be able, later on, to give information relevant to testing and check that drivers behave correctly and follow the rules.

On a computer in the reception, Maria Berlin, can see where all the people with the app are and she can even see how fast they are driving.

Peter Wedin, Rajd said that they started developing this system ten years ago and it is soon ready for full scale operation.

Christian Bock

Camping on a frozen lake provided sound of cracking ice that kept him awake and a little scared.

Good moments included handling extreme situations by being very smart. Coming into a warm room, a hot shower and a warm meal were greatly appreciated.

His fi nal words in the report are: “My fears and anxiety beforehand, of what could happen and how to deal with it again confi rmed one of my credos: “Risks are not so scary once you take them.”
