The unpredictable weather didn’t, however, keep this squirrel from making his regular rounds in search of acorns he buried last fall at a Deford area residence.

They make you think. They make you challenge yourself,” he said. “There are so many good kids out there that are so smart, you can learn from them,” he said. “I’ll see a student that I had 15 to 20 years ago, (and they’ll) greet me when we meet. The connections are life - long that you make being a " teacher.” “As an administrator, I have a handle on school environ - ment, whether it is teaching, ath - letics, busing, food service. I feel I can reach more people and assist my leadership group with chal - lenges they may have,” he said. “I feel that I have leadership qualities that I can help other peo - ple, and that’s what I enjoy doing. I enjoy helping whether it is adults or students or families. I pride my - self on being there for people when needed.” Among the negatives of being an administrator, according to Hartel, is there are so many obstacles that prevent educators from doing everything they want because of state regulations.
# ! # $ “As an administrator, I kind of lose contact with students. I don’t see them every day. I don’t know all of their names like I did when I was in the classroom,” he said. “I miss that personal touch with students as an administrator.” !% !% $ %
