Last-minute deal keeps airport open

FORKS T W P — Ofllcials averted
grounding airplanes at Easton Airport under a last-minute agreement
reached Monday — the day the
airport's Pennsylvania license was to
expire.
The agreement, which signaled an
end to months of bickering, means
the owners can expand the runway
another 300 feet onto land they will
lease from Forks Township.
T h e Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority, which owns the airfield off Sullivan Trail, agreed to a
runway extension plan first put forth
by Forks ofllcials about two weeks
ago.
Under the plan, the authority will
lease about three acres from the
township to lengthen the mnway and
meet slate safety requirements.

04/05/2000
(U-WIRE) NEW BRUNSWICK. NJ. — hi response to tfie
devastatingBoland Hallfireal Selon Hall Liniversity injanuary;
the Newjersey Senate has passed a bill mandating the insuUlation of sprinkler systems in iill college and univei-sity residence
halls wiihin two years.
ITie Republican-sfX)nsored bill, authored in part by Bergen
County Sen. Louis Kosco, is currently in the Newjersey Assembly, awaiting a vote on any potential changes. Kosco expressed wonder at the inefficiency of the assembly.
"The assembly seems to think more study is needed, and I
don't know why," he said. "I've already done all the necessary
research, lliey seem to work slower than I do."
That research indudes testimony from sprinkler system installation companies, fire inspectors, lawyers and representatives of the,aflected Newjersey colleges and univei'sities.
One such representative is Rutgers Chief of University
EjTiergency Services Joseph Zuccarello, who testified on his
concerns for the logistics of the deeidline and the manner of
fiinding for the program — both of which still bother him.
"We have estimated that [installation] will be afive-yearprogram, simply because ofthe number of buildings and few competent sprinkler contracting comjjanies available," Zuccarello

demanded last week. Had the authority insisted on the amendments, the
airport likely would have been shut
down today.
Both sides emerged from a meeting of the airport authority lo announce the deal Monday.
"It's been a long process," said
township supervisors Chairman
David Hofl". "I think a lot of people
have been satisfied — notjust Forks
Township. Il has satisfied many diverse groups — pilots, airport employees, the township and the township residenls. I believe il's a fair
agreement that covers all the bases.
"It keeps the airport open, which
is important to the authority, and il
keeps it controlled, which is important lo the township."
Critics of the expansion plan
feared the authority was laying the
groundwork to make the airport bigger so it could accommodate bigger
planes—something the authority repeatedly denied.
The authority bought the 72-acre
property for $2.4 million lale last year.
The authority's plan to expand the
runway was contingent on the au-
thority being able to recei\'e slate and
federal grants for reimbursement in
buying the airport, which used to be
called Braden's Field.
The authority also wanted to allow for some future expansion, and
it wanted power to indefinitely lease
the township land as long as no terms
of the agreement were broken.
Township officials, whose plan
called for reviewing the agreement
every five years, said those provisions
weren't acceptable.
"We're still working on that part,"

for belween four and six additional
students.
Additionally, he said he will begin
meeting with students interested in
living with faculty members. About
a dozen faculty members expressed
an interest in housing a student and
Worthen said he knows of one student who is definitely interested al
this point.
"We are definitely making
progress," said Worthen. He said that
as time goes by. more pieces fall into
place.
The college is not pursuing the addition of modular housing or trailers at this time, he said.

"I jioinled out to Rutgers that llie

stu4ents are lixing in the buildings, but
[sprinkler inslailation] isn't going lo dismpt anyone. Ifi want someone to install a sprinkler system in my house, I
won't have to mox^e out."
Kosco, the chairpei-son for the Senate Law and Public Safet)- Committee
that held the hearings, said there was
no reason installation could not be accomplished in two years, according to
the testimony he had gathered from
sprinkler installation companies.
"Two years [is] totally unrealistic,"
Zuccai ello said.
Kosco Sciid there were no proxisions
in the senate's vereion ofthe legislation
for missing tlie two-yeai* deadline, which
he said would endcuiger studenLs.

for a missed deadline b)" the universit):
The other contentious issue in the
sprinkler installation legislation is the
manner of funding. ZuccareUo said tlie
cost of installation would be between
S33 million and S35 million. The
senate's biU will proxide an)'where from
$50 million lo $90 million statewide for
installation, witli a clause that would
allow Gov. Christine Todd Whitman lo
appropriate more money if necessary
But the amount of funding is not as
important lo both Zuccarello and
Kosco as the manner of funding.
"As we understand il. the funding is
in the form of a loan, where the stale
would pa)' the interest and the institution would |ia)' the principal." Zuct^iello
said. "It's not in the form ofa grant at

said George Doughty, the authority's
executive director, following
Monday's meeting. "The airport authority approved the agreement the
lowTiship had, recognizing there are
some issues to be worked out.
"The main thing is that the airport
will continue to operate."
Doughty said the authority had
hoped lo get the three issues resolved before the plan was approved.
He said the authority will revisit the
lease agreement wilh the township
in the future, but he said there were
no immediate plans to do so.
"There's no real pressure to work
on it at this lime," Doughty said.
"We're not planning any expansion.
We're not applying for federal funds
right now."
The township wouldn't agree to

and private institutions will be able to
apply for the grants and low-interest
loans," Kosco said.
Kosco added that determining the
funding breakdown between gi'ant and
loan would not be possible until the
assembly voles on the bill.
The bill's committee chaiqjerson in
the assembly, John Kelly, was unavailable for comment.
Zuccarello said the cost of compliance would not aflect tuition, as some
had feared, because housing fees,
which may be affected, are distinct from
tuition.
Zuccarello said while the specifics
of the bill are disputed by the university, the need for sprinkler installation was not.
"It's absolutely a good idea lo install sprinkler systems in all the buildings," he said. "The university has
already committed lo that by iiisUilliiig systems in all posl-1988 constructions and retrofitting high-rise

doing so would give the authority

Township M a n a g e r George
Gemmel said he wtis delighted by the
agreement. He said no changes are
in the works.
" T h e issues that they wanted
changed are obviously not going to
be chiuiged." he said. "Those are not
on the table. For the foreseeable future, we don't see any change. That
doesn't mean that the parties may
not agree lo reopen it, but the agreement stands for now as written."
Kirk Wilson, a spokesman for
PeniiDOT's Bureau of Aviation,
said the Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority informed the bureau
it would agree to the land-lease contract with Forks.
"We are this afternoon mailing the

somebody else." I don't think I've
ever been in a situation or room
where so many people were looking at each other in such a fashion.
I have lo ask, how did Pierce look
at someone and know that they
were looking at someone, who was
staring at someone, and know what
the guy was thinking? He must have
one great sense of vision.
Pierce states in the bio that accompanies his CD, "In the process
of making this record, I was able to
work with so many amazingly talented people."
It's too bad they didn't have the
chance to work with any on this
album. One of the "amazingly talented" is Lisa Loeb. To say the
least, her career has seen better
days, no matter how few. Pierce
has toured with bands such as
Matchbox 20 and T h e Wallflow-
ers, as slated above, as well as forgettable bands like Del Amitri. Better Than Ezra. Widespread Panic.

According to his artist autobiography, he has had the privilege lo
perform on the Rosie O'Donnell
show for millions, and al the 1997
Blockbuster Rockfest. which was
attended by an estimated 500,000.
Overall, this album is generic,
boring, lifeless, and any olher adjective that could describe reading an encyclopedia for a week
straight.
I think Pierce assesses the situation best in his description ofthe
firsl song on the album, " T h e Best

I'HOK) BY M A I T J O H N S r o \
A late-inning offensive outburst by the Leopards was too little too late as the men's baseball team
dropped a 13-7 decision to C W. Post. While the bats were working for the Leopards on
Wednesday the pitching and fielding could not seem to put it together This is a recurring trend with
the team this season: parts of their game is great while the other parts lead to a loss.

An interview with ^^The Easton Assassin^^ Kacuba:
Warrior
between
the ropes
continuedfrom page 12
C ^ Would you like to elaborate on some of those obstacles?
A When I was coming up in the amateurs, people like Howard Cosell
would say,'That boy, his legs are too small. He can't punch. He's just a
copy of Muhammed Ali. He'll never make it.' But all of those negative
things that people used to say about me, I tried to use them as something
positive. Whenever someone said that I couldn't do something, I wanted
to prove to them that I could do it."
because I've got too much experience for them, and the older guys don't
want to fight me either. Boxing is like anything else — it's physical. You
need to be in the right place at the right time, with the right dimensions,
to be put in that certain position. People have it in their minds that
fighters should not fight after a certain age and that athletes should not
be athletes after a certain time. I think that's unfair. It's a crime to live
past 35 these days.
C ^ So there's no possibility for a Foreman fight?
C ^ What made you become interested in boxing?
A : I've always been athletically-inclined. When I was young, I played
football, wrestling, basketball; you know how kids are, doing a little of
everything. I dropped out of school early, in the seventh grade, and
began working at a carwash. I continued going to the RAL club, and I
met a guy by the name of Ernie Butler who came in and started teaching
boxing. So I started with that and met anolher man by the name of John
Yoke, and ihat's what I did. 1 never thought I was going lo keep going
though, bul someone came up to me and lold me lo keep going. So I did.
O j Was there soniething about boxing that made you want to pursue it
over sports?
A : I wanted to keep going because I was learning how to fight, and I
wanted to be the toughest kid on the block. And that's what kept me
going. But as I continued learning how to fight, I never got into a fight. It
was kind of awkward for me because I wanted to show people that I
could beat somebody up. But I was always keeping my nose clean.
Q : What is one career highlight that sticks out in your mind?
A : O n e highlight is when I won the heavyweight championship of the
w o r l d on June 9, 1978 when I fought Kenny Norton. So many people
thought that I couldn't do it, and so many people thought that I wouldn't
do it. But I did it.
O : Who was the toughest opponent you ever faced?
A : Kenny Norton in that same fight. Six days prior to the fight, I ripped
my left arm — I pulled a muscle. I thought that the fight would be called
^ off if I told somebody that my arm was hurting. In fact, they probably
would have called it off because I pulled a ligament and tore it, I went
day and night with ice. So that was probably one of my toughest fights.
It went 15 rounds. Kenny Norton didn't like me, and I didn't like him,
and I wanted to be the champion. And we fought, toe to toe, and went
the distance."
%^ You started off your career with 48 straight xactories, one short of
Rocky Marciano's record. Do you ever think about what it would have
been like to break the record or is that something that wasn't important
to you?
A : No, it wasn't important to me. I didn't even know he had a record.
Somebody once said to me, 'One more win, and you tie Rocky Marciano's
record. What do you think of Rocky Marciano?' And I said 'He couldn't
carry my jock strap.' And when I said that, people got mad at me. But it
wasn't like I was putting Marciano down. I wasjust a kid trying to say
that I love myself. I know I didn't say it to hurt anyone."
Q : You fought your most recent fight last June and won by knockout in
the eighth round. Was that your last fight or are there still plans in the
works for more?
A : Well I think that's my last fight because I don't think that anyone
really wants to fight me. The younger fighters don't want to fight me

A : George Foreman, I don't know what he wants to do. I've sdll got my
fingers crossed. I'm hoping that a miracle might happen. I'm training right
now, and if something comes up, we'll look into it. But if not, I'll just fade
out in the sunset.
C ^ Why haN'e you stayed in Easton as long as you have?
A : Il's quiet. It's small. Everything is close and convenient. You can send
your kids to school here and eveiything is peaceful.
C ^ Besides professional boxing, you have endeavored into a number of
oilier commercial pursuits (restaurants, training centers, casinos). WTiat
made you pursue these ventures?
A : Most athletes don't have anything left when their careers are over.
They put their trust in certain people, and they blow it. You need to be
smart and think small. Put you money where your mouth is. As long as I
have the money, why don't I put it into use? It's for my kids' future.
\^
Who are some of your favorite boxers to watch these days?
A You know what? I don't even have favorite boxers anymore. Lennox
Lews is a kid that's learning how to fight who's afraid to fight certain
fighters, Mike Tyson's the only one who isn't afraid to fight certain fighters. H e could knock Lennox Lewis out, but he can never beat Evander
Holyfield because of his style. And Holyfield could knock Mike Tyson out
and never beat Lennox Lewis. But these guys are scared of everybody.
They're not going to fight anyone. So whal if you get your picture on T V
Q : How would these fighters have fared when you held the championship of the world?
A You wouldn't have heard of them. These guys are nothing. They're
wannabe athletes.
O : In recent years, the sport of boxing has gone through some tough
times. All of the incidents with Mike Tyson, the questionable decisions by
judges (liolyfield/Lewis), and the question ofthe influence of gambling on
judges... What do you see in the future of boxing?
A : It's going to stay the same. They have corruption in boxing, but it's
controlled corruption. Everybody has a person they deal with. H B O deals
with certain promoters. Showtime deals with certain promoters.
Everybody's got a friend. So that's always going to exist. One thing that I
want to keep clean is the need for fighters to fight everyone else. Tliat's
what I did during ray career.
O : Are you actively involved in the Golden Gloves?
A Yeah, we train and sponsor a bunch of boxers for the Golden Gloves
over at my gym.
C ^ Did you ever fight in the Golden Gloves yourself?
A : I fought in the 1972 Golden Gloves and got disqualified for clenching.
But I went on to win four championships in the Golden Gloves, before
turning professional.

brushed it off without an ounce
of hesitation. "Not al all. I can't
wail."
Kacuba competed in the subnovice division because it was his
first fighl in an actual match. After training for several months
exclusively for the tournament,
he entered the ring for his first
official fight.
H i s o p p o n e n t for the first
round had several fights already
under his belt and had been gaining a reputation as a tough opponent.
Kacuba, though, proved to be
more than up lo the task of taking on his more experienced opponent.
T h e fight ended in a split decision against Kacuba. A split decision occurs when two of the
three judges score one boxer as
the winner while the third judge
scores the fight for the other
fighter.
S p e c t a t o r s c o m m e n t e d that
Kacuba did extremely well for his
first fighl. They were also surp r i s e d t h a t t h e r e w e r e no
knockdowns in the fight, which is
somewhat rare in fights involving
firsl time fighters.
Kacuba will have one or two
more fights in the tournament.
Dorsey believes that he has a
good shot lo posl a win and move
up to the novice division.
Said Kacuba about his experience as a boxer, "Il has taken me
lo a n o t h e r level. I do things I
would have been scared to do.
Now I am confident that I can do
them."
His currenl goal is to do well in
this l o u r n a m e n t and hopefully
place in his division and weight
class.
Kacuba slates that he will continue fighting in amateur fights
and some day he hopes to make it
to the Olympics.
Men^s t e n n i s s t o p s Seton Hall 4"3
BY B R E N D A N C O T T E R
T
he men's tennis team won a
hard-fought battle against Selon Hall 4-3 at home on Wednesday, improving lo 3-1 overall this
spring.
The final score was a close 4-3
against a Seton Hall squad that featured a devastating top three singles
lineup. Head Coach Barbara Young
was pleased with the Leopards' performance, noting that "we were
competitive in these three top
matches" even though Lafayette
does not give athletic scholarships.
"Il was a good win. and it's been
a long time since we've beaten Seton Hall," added Young.
In a key m a t c h , the second
doubles team of H'Cone Thompson '03 and Dan Seward '03 won in
a tiebreaker 9-8 (7-4), and both the
doubles and lower singles matches
gave the win to Lafayette. Freshman Ryan Collins '03 came wdthin
one point ofa golden set in his fifth
singles match, which means that he
lost only one point the entire set, a
rare feat.
In fourth singles, Lafayette's
Arturo Pereira '00 also picked up a
victory over Alfred Aguilar, and the
sixth singles match went to the Leop-
ards Chris Ginley '01 by default because Seton Hall was shorthanded.
Sophomore Michael Levey, sidelined with an injury until April 25,
noted that the team "is pretty strong
this year."
"We're looking to be competitive
with every team we face," he added.
"In previous years the team has finished in the lower part ofthe Patriot
League, but the goal this season is to
finish near the top," said I^evey.
T h e schedule heats up for the
Leopards with matches against
Loyola, Bucknell, Colgate, cind Navy
in a five-day span next week.

two great performances, an overpowering victory over Villanova
and a close win over St.Joseph University.
Villanova never really challenged the Leopards. The closest
they got on the scoreboard was 42 with 21:12 remaining in the first
half. After that, the Lady Leopards
responded with a 7-0 run lo end
the half with an 11-4 lead.
Lafayette added nine more goals
during the second half, while the
Wildcats managed only four more
while falling to the tune of a 20-8
defeat. The 20 goals scored by the
Leopards represents the fourth
largest goal total in the nation this
season. Maryland holds the top
spot wilh with 24 goals in one game.
Three Leopards scored five or
more points in the game. Leading
the attack was senior Olivia Long
with four goals and two assists, with
Heather McClelland '02 and Kim
Stone '00 each adding four goals
and an assist. The game was the
first game and the first victory by
Lafayette in the Patriot League this
season.
The match against St. Joseph's
proved to be more dificult for the
'Pards, who missed 13 of their firsl
14 shots.
After trailing 1 -0, the sophomore
phenom McClelland got hot and
ripped off seven points (four goals
and three assists) to help the Leopards triumph, with a 13-6 victory.

man, the legend
I N T E R V I E W E D BY G H R I S R E I C H
L
arry Holmes, " T h e Easton Assassin," clawed his way into the
world of boxing through hard work and dedication. Wliile spending
years as a sparring partner for M u h a m m a d Ali, Holmes was largely
unrespected by his peers. It wasn't until 1978, after six years of professional boxing, that Holmes got his shot at the tide.
After claiming the title, Holmes was successful through 21 ride defenses. Now in semi-retirement, Holmes runs a number of bussinesses
and resides in Easton, PA. T h e following is an interview conducted with
Holmes on Tuesday April 4, 2000.
C ^ Your career to date has been one of tJhe most successful and recounted in boxing. H o w would you personally describe your career as a
professional boxer?
A : "I think I have been one of the most successful boxers in boxing
history. Not only did I have a fantastic boxing career, 67 wins and six
losses... I had to go through many obstacles to become the champion.
No one thought that I would ever be the champion. I think I had a great
career."

unique. H e has already sampled
a number of different sports in
his lifetime including wrestling,
baseball, and cross-country. Now
he is looking lo challenge his abilities as an athlele even further by
taking on a new venture: boxing.
Kacuba began as a pitcher for
the L a f a y e t t e b a s e b a l l t e a m ,
where he played three years at the
varsity level before suffering a
shoulder injury in his throwing
arm. Kacuba, after talking with
