Announcements, Adjournment Honors, and Remarks Under
Special Privilege
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Vance Wilks of Waterford. Two years ago, when Vance was only 7 years old, he was hospitalized experiencing seizures. While in the hospital, doctors discovered a benign tumor in Vance’s brain. Like any young child, he wanted to play and be active bt he felt the neurology wing, where he stayed, was lacking toys and other things for kids to do. Unlike the other children, he had an idea that could fix this problem and help the children and the hospital. Vance, with the help of his parents, set up a toy drive at Browns Lake Golf Course in Burlington, dubbing it “Vance’s Toy Voyage.” In its first year, Vance received more than 400 toys and $800 for the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa. Last fall doctors learned that the tumor was recurring and that another surgery would be necessary. Despite this, Vance conducted their second annual toy drive that raised at least 600 toys and $500. Because of Vance’s work, any stress a child may feel being in the hospital may now be relieved playing with the countless toys and the other things that may be offered for the children to do. Vance is truly a hero to the children of the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.
Senator Wanggaard, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of his son John Jensen’s birthday. It is a blessing to have him as a son. John, Happy Birth-week!
Senator Erpenbach, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of his brother Will, who passed away January 30, 2016, at the age of 52.
Senator Darling, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Herbert J. Tennies. Mr. Tennies is retiring after serving on the Washington County Board of Supervisors for the past 50 years and as chair for the past 8. His devotion to the community is truly inspiring. Senator Darling wants to wish him a long and happy retirement with his wife Susie, his 5 children, and his 16 grandchildren. Thank you for your many years of service.
Senator Bewley, with unanimous consent, asked that the Senate adjourn in honor of Dr. Joseph Jauguet who passed away on February 1 at the age of 98. He earned his M.D. degree from the Marquette University School of Medicine in 1943. He served in the US Army Medical Corps from 1943 to 1946. Dr. Jauquet moved to Ashland in April 1947 with his wife Betty. In 1955, he established the Ashland Clinic. He practiced medicine in Ashland until 1996. He was a leader in medical organizations in Wisconsin and a valuable member of the Ashland community giving his time to many civic and religious groups. Dr. Joseph Jauquet is survived by his wife Betty and an abundance of family and friends. Senator Bewley is proud to adjourn in honor of this very special man, who gave so much to his community and will be missed by so many.
