Murray Klippenstein, a spokesman spokesman for the Canadian Environmental Environmental Law Association, told members of Newcastle council Friday that his group is opposed to the project because of fears that the development development will damage the environment downstream.

The two plants, Plastics EMI Shielding Inc., and Automotive Plastics Painters Ltd., started their projects last Wednesday with an official official sod turning ceremony. One of the owners, Luba Ves- elinovic, claims that these technologically advanced companies companies will not only benefit Bowmanville, Bowmanville, but all of Canada. Plastics EMI Shielding Inc., will start production at the end of this year manufacturing Canada's first shield for computers and other office office automated equipment. The protective sheilds are designed designed to curtail electronic waves that tend to interfere with regular computer programming. "Our product will eliminate computer computer static that is caused by elec tronic air pollution,"explained Mr. Veselinovic. The company was a joint venture between Mr. Veselinovic, owner of Plastics Holdings Ltd. located on Bennett Road, and a few un-named German investors. The Director of Corporate Development Development at the Luba's existing operation, James D. Ellies, explained' that the project was a viable viable alternative for diversifying Plastics Holdings Ltd. "We needed more diversity in our present operation and, taking everything everything into consideration, shielding shielding was the best alternative," said Mr. Ellies. Perhaps one of the major reasons for this is the fact that there is an estimated $800 million per year tied up in this market. The shielding of the computers is done directly at the manufacturing stage in a three phase operation referred to as electro-plating. Stage one involves the manufacturing manufacturing of the housing for the computer. computer. At the second stage the housing housing is shielded with a conductive surface placed on the interior and exterior walls. And the final stage is merely the application of plastic paint. It will be the first plant of its kind to open in Canada, and one of the few existing shielding plants in North America. The plant is so advanced that it is being called an industry of the future; one that has already made business transactions with large companies such as IBM, Northern Telecom, and Texas Instruments.
