4-Orono Weeklv Times, Wednesday, ,June 12, 1985 Plastic EMI Shielding Inc. Officiai Opening Jennifer Garland p For Richer For Poorer VIKI BATES Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard presents Luba Vaselinovic, president of Plastic Holdings Ltd., with a plaque from the Town of Newcastle represen ting local appreciation at the official opening. The Plastics EMI Shielding fic. held its Official Opening at the plant loca- tion on Bennett Rd. in Bowmanville. Over 200 guests were on hand to witness this $6 -million joint venture bet- ween Plastics Holdings Ltd. of Bowmanville, and the West German firm Die Viessmann Besitz und Ver- waltungs K.G introducing a newly developed Electro- Magnetic Interference (EMI) shielding process for com- puter equipment that has world-wide application and markets. "Ours is the most modern of production facilities in the industry of surface finishing for plastics", declared Luba Vaselinovic, president of Plastics Holdings Ltd. His Plastics Group of com- panies has become one of North America's leading sup- pliers of chrome-plated plastic components for the electronics and automotive sector. Local officials, staff, customers and suppliers witness Newcastle Mayor Rickard's presentation to Veselinovic of a plaque from the Town of Newcastle representing local apprecia- tion for the company's in- dustrial contribution to this area. "Mr. Veselinovic has established on this site because it is the centre of the Municipality known as Newcastle and has a number of channels of transportation available to it", the Mayor said, adding, "It is a place of industrial growth with employment and industrial opportunities." A major portion of the capital cost of the project was the installation of robots and computer automated manufacturing technology. Much of the equipment was custom-designed and made in Canada. Since the skills for this in- dustry are generally not available, the company will be training local employees in the required expertise. Production is already under- way for the plant that an- ticipates export sales will ac- count for about 90 per cent of the plant's output. I give up ... It's like talking to a ball point pen ... Over the past winter, I've listened with varied infif- ference to the plans of the Big Boy. Initially it was like swi.mming at the edge of the whirlpool. Fragments of im- agination augmenting my life. If ever there was a man's Holy Grail, it has to be the Funny Farm. Any of my suggestions seem to fall on deaf ears but let me murmur such inciden- tals like "the potatoes didn't last too long this winter, or the price of carrots is ridiculous", and immediately that tiny brain of his launches into an expansion pro- gramme big enough to feed south America. I must be nuts to put up with his whims. Who for instance would put up with cutting a nights outing short because he remembered he had to dust the potatoes. I stared in stoney silence while he wallowed in his man made food depot. [f I had any ar- tistic talent, I would carve him a medal out of a potato and present it to him at the annual Potato Pickers Con- vention right in our own back yard. In the little space of time allotted to me before we must start rummaging in good old Mother Earth, the Big Boy has devised another ingenius method to keep our slack time producing. We run the roads! That's right, you're reading this correctly. He has us hiking, biking, running, walking and jogging. Neither huffing, puffing, fainting nor feigning cardiac arrest deletes us from his latest blockbuster brainwave. Not only have we tumbled into a great health programme but we have also been recruited into a "solution to pollution" programme. We, l'm glad to say .......collect beer bottles, cans and pop bottles, and the Funny Farm for the time being has been renovated into becoming a recycling dept. All of us (on instruction of the master mnd) file out of the driveway with a ninety degree angle to our necks. We are assigned sections of the ditch, roadside or whatever may harbor an un- suspecting beer bottle. The eyes have been trained to discern unusual bulges, silvery glints of the sun on beer cans and the arms have knotted muscles from dragg- ing home bags, cartons, coats stuffed with bottles and any other item that might be able to hold these collectors items. In short we've become a team of ditch dredgers, crusaders of the common cause. Without any say in the matter, I was unanimously elected to disperse of these ar- ticles and handle the funds connected with them. Now, of course the Big Boy does not realize the embarrassing moments I suffer through as I pull up with a station wagon overloaded and grinding on the roadside from the FIESTA NIGHT AT ORONO SCHOOL The 'nights' entertainment started with the JR. choir singing five selections. Under Mrs. Lunn and Mr. Dewell's superb guidance, the au- dience's attention was kept with a mixture of lively but gentle songs. The nextI performance was Miss David's French song "Bonjour". This song was not only sung, but performed in a way that defies descrip- tion. "The Mexican Hat Dance" was performed by the grade 5 students. This dance was quite fascinating due to the performer's ex- cellent abilities. Following the dance Miss David's gr. 4 & 5's sang yet another French selection. They performed a modern day version of "Frere Jac- ques". The gr. 6 class, directed by Mrs. Bailey did part of the lancer dance called "The Gay Gordon". In the group the coordination of the dancers was. outstanding. The main attraction was the fantastic play named "Only in Canada", a mixture of educational but humerous acts. The audience learned about ten provinces, ten dif- ferent countries and ten famous Canadians. The play was excellent and Carl Brown and Jason Major were pleas- ed actors and, writers. These two were the main actors, however other students should be commended for their hard work. Lastly, the evening was topped with square dancing, supervised and taught by Ms. Dorland. Once again the group's coordination made the dance entitled "Just Because" a dance worth see- ing. A presentation was made to Mrs. Lunn and Mr. Dewell for going out of their way to work with the choir and other musical productions. To them we give special thanks. Before the evening ended it was possible to sample foods from ail over the world, cooked by the gr. 6 class. To sum it up the night was a great success! To ail the people who helped make this night possible we extend our warmest thanks. by Carl Brown gr. 6
