Kingstown and a student at Wickford Middle School; and

1-3

     WHEREAS, As young boys, Nicholas and his brother accompanied their parents on

competing in 2000; and

1-6

     WHEREAS, In the past six years Nicholas has worked tirelessly and has overcome

1-7

injuries to become a champion motocross racer. Motocross racing mandates many countless

1-9

numerous chores to be completed before each race, all in addition to his schoolwork; and

1-10

1-11

in 2005 when he won the New Capeway Sports Committee (NCSC) 2005 Spring Series Novice

     WHEREAS, Nicholas would be the first to tell everyone that he could not have

1-14

accomplished so much at such an early age without the loving support of his dedicated parents

1-15

and his brother William, who practices and trains with him and pushes him to excel. His mom

1-16

and dad, Kevin and Kathy Barske, have spent countless hours driving him to practice, helping

1-17

him train, buying the expensive equipment necessary to compete and succeed at competitive

1-18

Motocross, and giving him all the unconditional love and support a youngster needs to develop

1-19

his skills; now, therefore be it

2-1

     RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and
