“He’s quirky sometimes,
and he’s kind of like the kids
where he kind of goes from
one thing to another a lot,”
she said. “As long as they
can keep up with him, they
love him. They enjoy being
in his class. They enjoy Fix it
(class) and just being cre-
ative and doing outside-of
the-box projects.”

missed a few terms of
FACES in its 10 years. The
hope is to expand his role
in the schools.
“We’ve looked into get-
ting him CTE (career and
technical education) certi-
fied to teach classes during
the day,” she said. “Years
ago, it was a lot more chal-
lenging to get non-teachers
certified, but the require-
ments have lessened, and
CTE is a big push right now,
so I’m hoping someday his
dream will come true.”
Mack said McConnell
doesn’t reserve his giving for
the city and schools.
“He’s there to assist you
mechanically, just any way
you need,” Mack said. “For
me personally, the whole
rim fell off my car. He gath-
ered everything up, got here
and fixed it within a short
amount of time. Mike is
there when you need him.”
McConnell said his moti-
vation is his community —
and he hopes his example
will inspire others to give
their time.
“It’s my town,” he said.
“When you look back, you
can say, ‘Well I think it
made a little difference.’”
Houghtaling said that al-
ready is the case.
His dedication is ad-
mirable. He really loves
Falls City,” she said. “He
loves our kids and always
looks for ways to make
things better.”
Come and see me
for your hearing needs.
