Runyan's tax break is legal and not uncommon, though the policies that allow it are often criticized in New Jersey because they can lower tax bills for wealthy landowners who don't make their living in agriculture.
Runyan owns a 25-acre spread in Mount Laurel and, on the 5 acres around his house, his tax bill last year was $57,000. On the other 20 acres, it was $468 because he gets a break for registering it as farmland.
"He was just so raw," said Stamford High football coach Kevin Jones, who praised Ducasse as a very hard worker. "Everything was at ground zero when he started."
But Ducasse had played soccer and basketball and had taken tennis lessons in Haiti. He had the size and athleticism that Jones liked. Still, he didn't start for the varsity until his junior season.
He eventually developed into an FCS All-American and appears headed for a lucrative NFL contract.
"He probably wishes the draft were right now so he could get money and send it right away to Haiti," Jones said. "Everything about the kid says he's a quality human being."
Otrando doesn't expect a much bigger bank account to go to Ducasse's head or change his dedication.
"When you've come this far," Otrando said, "why change?"
Soft-spoken and quick to smile, Ducasse has a serenity about him even with all the death and destruction in his homeland.
"I know what happened is a real tragedy back there," he said. "I know that making the NFL pretty much is the only way for me to help them. So I'm really calm. I'm just waiting for everything to come my way and make everything happen and, hopefully, when everything settles down, I'll be able to help."
