Kevin Isky restoresbaseball field. PAGE 2

By ZANE CLARKThe Sun

For many, it was a bittersweetmeeting of the Mt. Laurel Town-ship Council on Sept. 28 whentownship officials, Mt. LaurelEMS staff, friends, family andmore packed council chambers tohonor EMS Chief FrancisPagurek, who is retiring after 16years as chief and emergencymanagement coordinator.

As Pagurek stood in front of acrowd of admirers, Mayor IrwinEdelson presented him with anhonorable discharge award,which Edelson said recognizedPagurek’s 16 years of loyalty anddedication from Aug. 16, 1999,through Sept 30.

Edelson said although Pagurekwas moving on from his role aschief, the impact he had on theEMS and the team he built wouldlast the town forever.

“Putting together a core like

this is what you do, what you’vedone for Mt. Laurel, and the resi-dents deeply thank you for that,”Edelson said.

Pagurek used words such as“wonderful” and “amazing” to de-scribe his 16 years of managingvolunteers and working alongsideMt. Laurel’s police, fire and pub-lic works departments.

He also noted the low turnover

of volunteer and career staff dur-ing his tenure, and said Mt. Lau-rel has “something special” withits EMS team.

“There’s not many towns who

maintain their volunteer baseand maintain the level of servicethat we maintain here in thetownship, and I hope that can con-tinue into the future,” Pagurek

said.Pagurek also used his time in

front of the crowd to thank hiswife, along with the families of those he served with, for all the

sacrifices they’ve made with hav-ing an EMS member as part of their family.

“To do what we do, getting upand leaving the house at 2 a.m.,being late for dinner, everybodyin this room, I know every one of you know what that’s like,”Pagurek said. “When emergen-cies happen, we need to be therefor the public, so a lot of sacri-fices for a lot of families.”

Former Mt. Laurel councilmember Larry Chatzidakis, whowas part of the team that origi-nally hired Pagurek, said hecould never offer enough grati-tude for the sacrifices members of the EMS make, and said Pagurekhelped make the EMS what it istoday.

“He really brought the EMSsquad into the modern times, andI feel probably if it’s not the best,then it’s one of the best EMSsquads in the entire state – veryproud,” Chatzidakis said.

Former Mt. Laurel townshipmanager Pat Halbe, who was alsopart of the team to hire Pagurek,said she never worried about Mt.Laurel for one day after the town-ship hired him.

She recalled how even afterPagurek’s job changed drasticallyovernight as result of the 9/11 at-

Fond memories are ones peoplehave for a lifetime. For 17-year-oldScout Kevin Isky, he createdmany fond memories in his youthplaying baseball at the CreekRoad Masonville Carl Jansen

Baseball Field.As part of his Eagle Scout proj-

ect for the Mt. Laurel Boy ScoutTroop 76, Isky wanted to helpother baseball players create fondmemories at the field as well. Sohe decided to do just that by help-ing to restore aspects of the fieldthat needed work, such as thedugouts, parking lot and fencing.

“As it is an older field, it neededsome work done. I really wanted the guys who are younger to experience the same memories I had

and thought it would be great torestore that baseball field,” Iskysaid.

Isky has been a part of theScouts since he was little, startingas a Cub Scout and becoming aBoy Scout at the age of 11. As aculmination of all of his hardwork, the time soon came for Iskyto receive the highest ranking onecan receive in Scouting as anEagle Scout.

To earn the highest ranking of Eagle Scout, a volunteer projectmust be completed.

As Isky grew up playing base-ball for the Mt. Laurel recreation-al league, starting at age 7, heknew he wanted to give back to

When you think about

tourism in New Jersey, the

first thing that pops into

your mind, most likely, is the Shore.

And why shouldn’t it be? There is so

much focus on our coastline, and so

much of our lives here revolve around

the summertime rush to the beach.But there is so much more our state

has to offer, and these other offerings

are on display front and center during

October.

Farms in New Jersey are popular

places for what has come to be known

as agritourism – a booming industry

that involves any agriculturally-based

operation or activity that brings visi-

tors to a farm. New Jersey is the Gar-

den State for a reason, and there are

multiple farms in many places

throughout our state, both in more

rural places and in not-so-rural places

as well.Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno toured some

local farms last week to help promote

the agritourism industry, which is

growing each year. According to the

state Department of Agriculture, New

Jersey ranks ninth in the nation in

agritourism, bringing in more than

$18 million per year.

As farms look for new ways to grow

revenue, they not only look for second-

ary crops but also toward runoff rev-

enue streams – from traditional

tourism areas such as apple and

pumpkin picking to hayrides, corn

mazes and farm tours.

October in New Jersey is one of the

best months to visit a farm. Apples are

ready to be plucked off the trees and

eaten raw or baked into delectable

pies. Pumpkins and gourds are ready

to be picked from the ground and usedas decorations for Halloween-inspired

themes inside and outside houses.

And farm stands are vibrant with fall

wreaths, hay, scarecrows and apple

cider.

Farming is such an important sec-

tor to our state’s economy and our

state’s image. So put on a pair of jeans,

grab a hoodie and head out to a local

farm this month. If you haven’t expe-

rienced agritourism in New Jersey

yet, October is the best month to do it.

Enjoy the season!

in our opinion

Enjoy fall at a farmTourism in New Jersey isn’t just about the Shore

the township in some way that in-cluded the sport he enjoyed for somany years.

“A big part of my youth wasplaying baseball. I had a lot of fond memories at the field,” Iskysaid.

At first, he proposed a projectto make a sign for the Creek RoadMasonville Carl Jansen Field, asit never had one before. The field

is used by many BurlingtonCounty Babe Ruth League teamsfrom surrounding towns. Thetownship then informed him thatall the parks were eventually get-ting new signs, but this field wasin need of dire repairs before fallball started.

Isky decided to take up thechallenge to restore the field.Once Isky obtained all the neces-

sary approvals from the baseballleague and Scouting, and the proj-ect was approved by Jerry Mas-cia, the township’s director of

municipal services, he was on hisway.

He started by obtaining thesupplies and materials. He set upfundraisers at Pancheros Mexi-can Grill of Marlton and JerseyMike’s Subs of Moorestown aswell as setting up an online fund-ing page at GoFundMe. He alsopresented requests to variousHome Depot and Lowes storesthroughout Burlington Countythat donated supplies for his proj-

ect. In total, the donations of sup-plies and funds received added tonearly $800.

Once he had the supplies, Iskylooked into getting the manpower.He organized a crew of about 11Scouts from Troop 76, mostly cur-rent or former ballplayers them-selves.

The work needed was quite ex-tensive. The two dugouts needed

to be completely cleaned, sandedand repainted; the roof edge alu-minum trim of each dugout,called fascia, needed redoing; the

new roof edge needed soffits in-stalled; the parking needed somecleaning up and parking guideposts repainted; and a completelynew split rail fence and post alongCreek Road needed to be in-stalled.

“The dugouts were the mainpart. They used to be bright red,white and black. Before we paint-ed them, they were dirty andcracked and peeling,” Isky said.

In various rotating daily shifts

of 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Scoutsworked together to restore thedugouts, clean up the parking lot,repaint all 22 guide posts, and in-stall the split rail fence and postsfor about 65 feet. Their hard worklasted about four days during theweek of Aug. 18.

ed in my goal to restore the fieldand make it look better. I was alsorelieved and elated that other ballplayers who attended would beable to see it in the same light Isaw it so many years ago,” Iskysaid.

All of this was at no cost to thetownship or taxpayers. Accordingto Isky’s dad Ken, it was reviewedas a very professional job.

For all of his hard work on theproject, as well as his Eagle Scoutattainment, Isky was to receive aproclamation from the townshipon Monday night, Oct. 5.

“I feel honored. It is a really bigdeal to me because I’m just one

person and accomplished a bigtask. It feels great. It is really coolmy town noticed what I did andcommended me for it,” Isky said.

Isky will have his official cere-mony for his accomplishments asan Eagle Scout within the nextfew months, though a date is notyet determined. He plans to con-tinue with the Scouts until the cutoff, which is 18 years old. He plansto progress with Scouting bybeing a mentor as a Junior ScoutMaster.

“I thank Scouting for giving meall of the opportunities and expe-riences I’ve had in the past 12years. Without Scouting, I proba-bly would not have the same expe-riences as someone who didn’tparticipate. I think it is great forall boys and young men to partici-pate in and a great group to learnfrom,” Isky said.
