There is more to the new look at ESPSS than the traditional fresh coat of paint in the halls. Students returning to ESPSS this fall are being welcomed back to a school which is quite different from the one they left in June: significant changes in scheduling, per- sonnel and equipment have given the bilingual secondary school a whole new look. The most significant change is that the whole school has been semestered. In the first semester, which runs until the end of January, the students will be enroled in four subjects. Following the final exams at the end of January, the students will study four different subjects in-the second semester. '""The main ad- vantage of the semester system'. says guidance counsellor Craig Hawkins "is that the students will only have to concentrate Testing of soils at a spot just northeast of the Pauze Landfill site have been postponed for the time being.

Semestering also benefits the senior students who may only need one or two credits to graduate. The change to semestering has proved popular with area students; approx- imately forty new students have enroled at ESPSS this year, boosting the school's population to over 630. This year's class of 155 Grade 9 students is also one of the largest in several years. The school has also undergone a change in the staff room with the addi- tion of six new teachers, in- cluding three new depart- ment heads. Mr. Bill Hart- man from Regent Public School in Midland takes over in Boys Physical Education while Ms. Mary Bateman takes over in Giris Physical Education. Steve Sheba from Barrie, takes Environment (MOE) of- ficials from Barrie had planned to bring a portable auger into the site on September 4, Senior En- vironmental Officer in Engineering John Sciber- ras said representatives from his office were at the site, but the work was not completed. According to Sciberras, problems with the Ministry's laboratories in Toronto is the cause of the delay. The Engineer also ex- plained because many tox- ins evaporate in the air, Ministry officials did not take the samples adding they don't know exactly how long the delay will be. The MOE decided to undertake further testing The Midland Rotary Club hosted past district governor Tom Ewen at their regular weekly meeting on Wednesday, September 10, 1986. Mr. Ewen told the club that through the efforts of the New look forESPSS over in the Business Education Department. Also joining the staff are Mr. Paul Dalzilio in the Technical Department, Mrs. Shirley Thomlinson in the English Department and Mr. Marc Mercier in Francais. Mr. Bob Thom- son, a long time teacher at ESPSS rejoins the staff after a two year tour at MSS. The school has also undergone . a' minor technological revolution. Students in some of the Keyboarding (or typing) class will now have the op- portunity to practice their skills on new electronic word processors. Twenty- eight Tandy 1000 work processors and eight printers have been brought in to replace the school's manual typewriters. New timetables, new teachers and new equip- ment; it looks like an ex- citing year at ESPSS. Soil examination after an examination of some surface soil com- pleted earlier this summer found traces of eight dif- ferent chemicals. An unidentified gentleman brought the site to the Ministry's attention earlier this summer. Accor- ding to Sciberras the man said he came across the area, which he described as a pond of chemicals hav- ing an odor of paint solvents, while jogging in 1972. The man alleges the parcel of land was used for illegal dumping of in- dustrial wastes 14 years ago. Sciberras said until the samples are taken, the Ministry will not comment on whether the site was possibly an illegal dump or not in the early 1970's.
