“I had just finished management school with Cenex,” Jensen said. “They wanted me to assume a managerial role, but I thought if I’m going to do that, I should probably be in my own business.”
He quickly turned this courageous idea into action, and evidently his efforts paid off, as he has claimed the title of Jensen Heating, Air Conditioning and Plumbing CEO for the past 35 years.”
“I pretty much self-taught myself by reading a lot manuals,” he said.

New Richland City Council
By JESSICA LUTGENS
Editorial Assistant
The New Richland City Council held its second meeting of February Monday evening. All members were present. The meeting commenced at 6:30, when the agenda and consent agenda were approved.
Brad Field was up first with the People’s Service Report. Fairly short, one concern he shared with the council was a request to adopt a city policy/ordinance of “No dumping allowed” that would apply to septic haulers or any other haulers that would attempt to dump waste from outside sources into our city’s sewer system. The Council approved the report before moving on to the Ambulance report.
