J" as he is known to the school, it didn't take too long to figure out why he landed the top position in Howe
"One of the big things I like to get across is that we're all competitors, we all want to win, but to me it's more about what kind of men and women am I teaching these kids to be,” said Jehling “I’ll never sacrifice discipline in athletics for a win We still want to win, but I’m going to hold our kids accountable I want them to be good men and women - good fathers and mothers when they leave here I firmly believe that when you instill that, the wins are going to come We’re going to learn to be disciplined and we’re going to learn to control ourselves. I don’t believe in cussing at all on the football field If they’re going to cuss in the heat of a battle in a football game, they’re going to cuss at their wives when they get in an argument And I don’t want to teach that ”
Jehling is a native of San Antonio, but his father was transferred to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during his youth After attending a small private school there, he played football and baseball at Duquesne University earning a bachelor’s and master’s degree Following a short stint teaching in Pittsburgh, Jehling served in the United States Marine Corps from 1997 to 2005 including a tour of duty in Iraq

They improved to 4-6 the next year, but the culture shock of going from a large school like Richardson Pearce to Cushing had him wanting to be at a larger school again. As a finalist for the head coaching job in 5A Lumberton, they decided to go with the hometown boy Chris Babin, but Jehling was asked to be on the staff where they improved from 0-10 the previous year to 7-4 in his first year as defensive coordinator
“I was just blessed that the Hamshire-Fannet job opened up the next year and they called and asked if I’d be interested,” said Jehling “I love Hamshire I knew it was a

on Tuesday evening
City Administrator Joe Shephard said that the city's cost during the next budget year would be 25 percent of the agreement which would be $15,000 for one officer
"I think it's the greatest thing in the world to have resource officers and we definitely need one for preventative measures against something horrible happening, " said Howe City Councilman Bill French in discussion "But I understand he would work here for the Howe Police Department 25 percent of the year and for the school 75 percent of the time, is that correct?"
Shephard then explained to him that the new officer be a city employee and would be assigned to the school for 75 percent of the time At that point French asked if the officer would be using vacation days, continuing education, and time off as his 25 percent city time

"Obviously the officer will be allowed to take a vacation just like every officer is," said Shephard "One thing that the chief (Matt Whitworth) and I discussed is for the resource officer take their vacation time that coincides with the school calender such as spring break and summer when school's out "
French also had a question regarding transportation for the designated resource officer as stated in the agreement Shephard said that the intention was to use a Chevy Tahoe that is in the fire department fleet
The resource officer will be a fulltime city employee with TMRS retirement benefits
Councilman Jonathan Coleman made the motion to approve the agreement which was followed by French The action went unopposed
