Hempstead's field in Oceanside, for the benefit of the Oceanside  Little
League; and

  WHEREAS,  Growing  up  playing  on  Wrights  Field,  William  Xuereb
recognized the run-down appearance of the  Field,  so  he  repaired  and
painted  the  dugouts  Oceanside  colors of Navy Blue and Carolina Blue,
renovated the benches, mulched and cleaned the garden by the Field,  and
finally he repaired the steps and decking of the observation stand; and

  WHEREAS, Truly caring for his community and Oceanside Little League,

demonstrates his devotion to both community and  commitment  to  others;
and

  WHEREAS,  As  he goes forward in his academic career, William Xuereb
plans to continue the ideals and principles of the Boy Scouts; and

  WHEREAS,  William  Xuereb's perseverance in rising through the ranks
to Eagle Scout is a strong indication of his ability to master difficult
tasks; his accomplishment will enable him to emerge as a  leader,  fully
equipped to meet the challenges of today's complex society; and

  WHEREAS, This new Eagle Scout is a credit to his family, his school,
his community, his State and his Nation, and no doubt his future will be
filled with accomplishments of equal importance; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations, in
