Sanford Performing Arts Center Director Brett Williams has announced the lineup for this season’s Partners Bank Spotlight Series of performances, including several smashing holiday shows and a world premiere dance musical bound for Broadway.

On Saturday, November 13 at 3:00 p.m. the series kicks off with Buddy: The Buddy Holly Show, stopping in Sanford on its North American tour. This showcase of ‘50s rock and roll has been seen by over 22 million people worldwide. The oldies but goodies continue when Tapestry: The Carole King Songbook comes to SPAC on November 20 at 7:00 p.m. This show was scheduled for March of last year, and had to be cancelled at the last minute due to the pandemic.

A month of wonderful holiday shows starts Saturday, December 4 at 7:00 p.m., with the Strafford Wind Symphony performing its Holiday Pops show. The Portland Ballet will perform outside of Cumberland County for the first time, when it brings two shows of the full-length Victorian Nutcracker ballet to the SPAC on Saturday, December 11, at 2:00 and 7:00 p.m.

Classical Uprising’s Sing We Noël will return to Sanford for a 3:00 p.m. matinee on Sunday, December 19. This is a more intimate holiday music experience, with choral and classical brass selections. The holidays will conclude on a high note as Joe Boucher and his Band and Orchestra rock in the New Year on December 31 with classic rock selections from the likes of Pat Benatar and Queen. The show starts at 7:00 p.m.

The three-day Maine Piano Festival will take over the SPAC from January 21-23. Mr. Williams called the venue’s Steinway the finest grand piano in Maine. On Friday evening, the Portland Piano Trio will take the stage. The Hanna Powell Memorial Piano Competition is scheduled for Saturday afternoon. World-class pianist Daniel Hsu, bronze medalist in the Van Cliburn Piano Competition, will perform a program of well-known classical selections on Sunday afternoon.

Broadway’s Next Hit Musical comes back to the SPAC on Valentine’s weekend, with a hilarious Saturday date-night comedy/improv show on February 12.

On March 26, The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass will play a show of Dixieland, classical, Broadway and more at 7:00 p.m.

The season will be capped off in the spring by an amazing world premiere event. Tap superstar and Tony Award winning choreographer Savion Glover and poet/composer Reg E. Gaines will be workshopping their new show during April vacation week, culminating in a performance on April 23. This will be the very first performance of this show, whose producers have their eyes set on Broadway. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” said Mr. Williams.

City Manager’s Report

Hiring Update: City Manager Steve Buck gave an update on hiring. He said the City is working on adjusting pay scales to be competitive regionally, as wages have increased dramatically over the past five years. He said it has been determined that it is often less expensive to hire experienced people, rather than incur the cost of training inexperienced ones. He commended the staff in the Human Resources department for handling all the extra workload recently.

The Police Department has hired a new officer from the Rochester PD. He is currently completing the Maine Criminal Justice Academy required online training to obtain a waiver for his “green pin” certification, which is expected to happen next week. The waiver will allow him to work full-time with SPD on limited types of calls. He will then begin training in-house in Sanford, while preparing to take his “blue pin” certification test, which, if he passes, will allow him to skip the full 18-week MCJA training. This is an example of how hiring an experienced officer saves the City money over a inexperienced one, as the full MCJA training costs $30,000.

Due to retirements as well as to the addition of two new positions, the City has made offers to the eight candidates who scored the highest on the firefighters’ exam. Mr. Buck noted that this will lead to a significant change in the average age of our firefighters.

Three new equipment operators have been hired for the Public Works Department, and other interviews are pending. Two dispatchers have been hired away from other agencies, and two more candidates are in the process pending the results of their aptitude tests. The final two candidates for the new positions of Communications Coordinator are being interviewed, and a decision will be made this week.

The Assistant Planner position is being re-advertised after raising the salary by $5,000. No applications had been received at the previous salary. 13 applications have been received for the position of Parks and Recreation Director. They will be scored and interviewed by the end of the month.

Joint Land Use Study: Mr. Buck talked about some of the issues involving the large number of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard employees that commute from Sanford each day. The proposed park and ride behind Cumberland Farms has had an initial design done, which would include either 84 or 96 parking spaces in phase one, and space for two bus stops. The design has been submitted to

Maine DOT. It will come before the City Council if the funding for it is acquired.

Communications/Presentations

Bike Fest: Lee Burnett of Cycle Sanford regretfully informed the Council that Bike Fest will be cancelled for this year. He took

the blame for the failure to set a rain date initially. The weather fore-cast for the original date led to a postponement, but the new date didn’t work for some of the key participants, so it was decided to wait until spring. He thanked all the people who worked hard to organize the event, and said that next year will be bigger and better.

Public Participation: Chris Heywood, who takes the bus to attend a day program at Lifeworks, asked if the Council has discussed installing bus shelters. Mayor Mastraccio responded that the Council is working on the issue.

Public Hearing: A public hearing was held for a liquor license for Cruisin Infusions, a new business located at the Midtown Mall. Co-owner Katlyn Waterhouse said the company provides catering and a mobile bar service. No liquor will be served on the premises. No one spoke in opposition, and the license was granted.

New Business

Utility Tractor: The Council approved the purchase of a John Deere 4052R utility tractor with backhoe attachment for the Parks and Recreation Department. Parks Director Brian Desrochers told the Council the new machine would replace a 970 model that the Department has outgrown. The new tractor will have greater horsepower and maneuverability, create less fatigue for the operators, and allow the use of larger implements. He said it would also allow the Parks and Rec staff to assist the Trails Committee with some of their projects, as well as providing backup for cemetery maintenance. The current tractor will be sold on Municibid once the new one is received. The purchase does not have to go out to bid due to a contract the state has with John Deere, under which the City gets a sizable discount on purchases.

Pesky Woodpecker: The Council approved the replacement of a wooden lighting pole at Goodall Park, which Mr. Desrochers said has been seriously weakened by a pileated woodpecker that has made two large nesting cavities in it. The pole is on the third base side over the batting cage area. He said he does not sleep well at night during baseball season, thinking it might snap and endanger the players. The pole will be replaced with a metal one at a cost of $44,197. The light fixtures will be reused with new ballasts. He hopes to get the work done this fall.

Unlicensed Junkyard: The Council voted unanimously to authorize legal action against the owner of 8 York St. Community Development Director Ian Houseal showed photos of the property, which depicted junk cars, boats and a Winnebago in various states of dismantlement, as well as tires, car parts and other junk scattered across the back and side yards. The property is zoned Single Family Residential, and is not zoned for a business of this type. The City has issued numerous notices of violation over the past two years, to no effect. “We will do our best to continue to resolve the issue, but at this point, we have exhausted our ability to resolve it without a higher authority,” he said.

Sanford Springvale News 3 10/8/2021

Safe Return to Schools Update: Superintendent of Schools Matt Nelson said there have been 59 cases of Covid in Sanford schools to date. SHS, Sanford Middle School, CJL and Margaret Chase Smith School are all in outbreak status. He acknowledged the frustration due to inconsistencies in decisions made. He reiterated that the De-partment’s goals are to keep all students in school five days a week, and to limit quarantining, especially for younger kids whose parents might have to miss work to stay home with them. He is not trying to prevent students from connecting with each other or having fun.

Pooled Testing: Pooled testing for Covid was implemented last week at the elementary schools. About 80 people (students and staff) were tested at CJL, and about 30-40 at Pride, all of which came back negative. About 80 were also tested at MCS, and three of the pools there came back positive. The follow-up BinaxNOW tests identified the positive people in two of the pools, while the third was inconclusive.

This week, over 150 people were tested at MCS. SHS began testing Monday as well, and more than 100 students and staff participated. SMS started testing Tuesday, with about 150 people signed up.

The Department has had to hire CNAs from a staffing agency to assist with the pooled testing, but is hoping to get staffing from Concentric, the company that provides the tests.

On Monday holidays, including Indigenous Peoples’ Day on October 11, the schools that normally do pooled testing on Mondays (SHS and MCS) will skip that week.

Vaccinations: Mr. Nelson said although some school districts are requiring staff to be vaccinated or to get tested weekly, he is not considering mandating that at this time. When the federal OSHA requirement for employers with over 100 employees to mandate vaccinations or testing goes into effect, Sanford will have to comply, but he said there is no timeline yet as to when that will happen. When OSHA releases the ruling, the district will have 30 days to comply.

In the next week, the School Department will be reaching out to all staff members who indicated in the last survey that they were unvaccinated, or who didn’t respond, to find out their vaccination status. As of mid-September, only 74.9% of staff confirmed that they had received the Covid vaccine. Committee member Amy Sevigny called that number “disappointing,” noting that 88% of eligible Sanford residents have been vaccinated. Among students, only 50-54% are known to be vaccinated.

Ms. Sevigny said she would like to have a goal for vaccination rate or positivity rate, to encourage people to get vaccinated and do the pooled testing. She added she feels strongly that outdoor school events should be allowed.

Enrollment: The School Department’s official enrollment figures, which are tabulated on October 1, show that SHS has 1,093 students this year, an increase of 40 over last year. SMS enrollment is exactly the same as last year at 958. Enrollments are up at all three elementary schools, while Pre-K has dropped slightly. Overall, the district as a whole has 150 more students enrolled this school year than last. Mr. Nelson said that was a very positive development, as that is a big driver and metric for funding the Department receives from the state.

Pre-K: Assistant Superintendent Steve Bussiere gave an update on Pre-Kindergarten. The Department currently offers two half-day programs at the Sanford Regional Technical Center, one in the morn-ing and one in the afternoon, with a limit of 16 students in each. A teacher and ed tech work with each class. He said it was a great set-up because students in SRTC’s Early Childhood Education program also worked with children, gaining valuable field experience.

There is also a Head Start program in Sanford, contracted by the School Department to York County Community Action. They offer full-day (6 hours) classes, and income qualification is required for enrollment.

Mr. Bussiere said the goal is to have a Pre-K program at each of the elementary schools, with two full-day classes in each, in addition to the SRTC program. He will be going to a meeting about grant funding this week to discover what resources are available.

Mr. Nelson pointed out that the Pre-K expansion was planned in the redesign of the elementary schools. The Pre-K classrooms are currently being used to reduce class sizes so students can recover from the learning loss of the past year, but as students catch up, class sizes can begin to return to normal, freeing up those spaces.

Resignations, Appointments and Transfers: Mr. Nelson thanked Richard Martineau, 2nd shift custodian at Pride Elementary, for his years of hard work for the School Department, and wished him the best of luck in his retirement. Mike Pepin was congratulated on his promotion from 1st shift custodian to head custodian at SHS.

Policies and Procedures: Mr. Bussiere said the Department’s policy and procedure on the use of physical restraint and seclusion had to be updated to reflect changes in Maine state law. Under the new definitions, if a student swings out to hit someone, and a staff member blocks their arm, that is considered a restraint. Restraint may now only be used if there is “imminent risk of serious physical injury or harm.” Students may not be restrained from committing property damage or minor injury. The new law goes into effect on October 18. He said the amount of paperwork would increase due to reporting requirements. A second reading on the changes will be held at the next meeting.

School Committee 10/4 Meeting Notes

by Sanford School Department staff

Sanford High School

Homecoming was celebrated all last week at Sanford High School, culminating in a 27-24 victory against Lewiston in football on Friday night, and an outdoor dance on Saturday.

From Mr. Petermann: What a great week! Thanks to Nate Smith, the Student Council, Lauren Roy, Kendra O’Connell and the Pep Club for putting on fun and safe events for all to enjoy, especially the kids!

Sanford Regional Technical Center

Students from the Automotive Collision Repair, Automotive Technology and Welding & Metal Fabrication programs at Sanford Regional Technical Center recently participated in an oxygen and acetylene training course put on by Maine Oxy and their safety instructor, Mike Covert. The course covered oxygen and acetylene tank handling and proper setup of gauges, hoses, and torches used for cutting, welding, heating and brazing. Mike’s dynamic speaking style was perfect for a presentation in the Sanford Performing Arts Center, which allowed for students to physically distance, making for an informative and safe training environment. Thanks to Welding Instructor, Adam Hartford, for coordinating the training ses-sion and to Brett Williams and Sarah Schnell, SPAC Manager and WSSR-TV Manager, for providing the technology to allow students to see equipment and procedures in detail while still maintaining COVID-19 safety.

Sanford Middle School

SMS kids have been doing a wonderful job throughout the month of September. Thank you to the PTA for putting on a little celebration for them with popsicles, music and lots of smiles.

Margaret Chase Smith School

The focus for the month of September was Responsibility at MCS. Throughout the month the students listened to various daily quotes, read new texts, watched short video clips and created visual displays throughout the building to encourage students to make the right choice. The students addressed various goals as they continued to show success in the area of responsibility.

On Friday, September 24th the MCS Student Ambassadors planned their first spirit day, "Rally for Responsibility.” See photo above.

Good News From Sanford Schools

Sanford Springvale News 5 10/8/2021

MCS (continued): At the end of the month students were recognized for their hard work by receiving various awards during our grade level assemblies.

Sanford Pride Elementary School

The two playgrounds at SPE are in the process of being installed. The students look for-ward to being able to enjoy the playgrounds soon, and help SPE create the standard operating procedures for each piece of equipment.

We had our first spirit week of the year at SPE. The SPE Student Leaders arrange the monthly spirit weeks for our school. Even one of our service dogs, Dodger, participated in Red & White Day on Friday.

Carl J. Lamb School

CJL School Counselor, Jennifer Scremin, led an assembly about respect, which was September’s Core Value of the month. We read a daily message in our morning announcements, made videos, awarded high five core value tickets, raffled prizes, and celebrated our success at this assembly. Each month we have a new core value. This month’s core value is perseverance, which is appropriate as our students begin their NWEA testing and dive into some new units of study. We’re proud of the core values CJL students embody!

Pictured here is CJL 4th grader Gabriella Nadeau donning an “original” CJL sweatshirt, from the year we opened in SY 1990-91. The sweatshirt belonged to her aunt. Gabby is showing her school spirit for Homecoming Week! Way to go, Gabby!
