Senate Passes Fuschillo Resolution Honoring Eagle Scout Anthony Anesta of Wantagh
Charles J. Fuschillo Jr.
February 2, 2011
State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) announced that the New York State Senate recently passed a legislative resolution he sponsored honoring Wantagh resident Anthony Anesta for attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.
“After working hard for many years dedicating hours and hours to serving the community, Anthony achieved a goal that only a select few ever attain; the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout. I congratulate him on earning this honor and am pleased that his accomplishment was recognized by the New York State Senate,” said Senator Fuschillo.
Anthony, a member of Troop 656, attained the rank of Eagle Scout after many years of hard work and completing an Eagle Scout project. For his project, Anthony organized a project to help deter the overpopulation of Canadian Geese which were damaging the Wantagh School District’s athletic fields. Anthony raised funds to construct 36 “scarecrow” shadow dogs to place throughout the fields. As a result of Anthony’s efforts, the school district has seen a dramatic decrease in the number of geese that migrate to the fields.
With the Senate passage of the legislative resolution, Anthony’s name and achievement will forever be part of the New York State Senate’s official record.
