Senator Schultz, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Rick Charles, the President and General Manager of WRJC AM/FM radio in Mauston. On February 15th, Mr. Charles will celebrate his 25th anniversary as the owner of WRJC. Local radio stations are a critical part of life in the Senator's part of the state. For us, it's not just music and entertainment. Local radio tells us when school is late. It lets us know when our neighbors are ill or passed away, and it's a critical means of communication when we're hit with natural disasters or emergencies. In short, locally owned radio stations like WRJC bring our communities together. Rick Charles has made a commitment to WRJC for 25 years, and in doing so, he's also made a commitment to the City of Mauston and greater Juneau County.
Senator Darling, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of her Grandson, Charlie, who turns five today.

Senator Jauch, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of Kris Hansen, a teacher for the Maple School District.

Senator Jauch, with unanimous consent, asked that when the Senate adjourn, it do so in honor of of Darienne Ciembronowicz, Joshua and Lucas Walters, and Lacy, Olivia and Hazel Edinger; the spouses and children of the Ashland firefighters who risked their own lives to save the lives of two men who were trapped on the ice near Saxon Harbor during a terrible storm on January 22. These families sacrifice a great deal every day while their spouses risk their lives protecting the public. We owe a debt of gratitude to these families who encourage their spouses to put public safety first and display the heroism that recently saved the lives of two men. Senator Jauch applauds the tremendous resolve of all families of those who set out to protect the public each and every day.
