The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — BUFFALO — Three and a half minutes into Thursday night's Section VI Class AA semifinal game between Kenmore West and Niagara Falls, Blue Devils center Quinton Campbell picked up his second foul and was forced to the bench.
When he returned in the second quarter he was almost immediately whistled for an offensive foul, but Ken West coach Mike Meetze left his big man in the game. Two minutes later, he picked up number four and didn't return until the fourth quarter.
With their defensive anchor on the bench for most of the game and up against the No. 2 large school in Western New York, the Blue Devils dug deep and accepted the challenge. Shay Cuadra exploded in the second half, scoring 16 of his team-high 18 points, but it wasn't enough in the end, as Niagara Falls senior J.J. Wilkins netted a game-high 26 points to lead the Wolverines to a 72-62 win at the Buffalo State Sports Arena.
Meetze was proud of the way his team dealt with adversity after Campbell went out.
"Im so proud of this group, people wrote us off months ago, we had that little slide and it wasn't looking good at halftime," he said. "Early in the season they would have packed in their bags, felt sorry for ourselves — (but) they put a scare in the Falls."
The Blue Devils cut it to five late in the third and Meetze was thrilled with the way they were running their sets and maintaining their composure.
But Wilkins sensed Ken West building some momentum and confidence, so he calmly buried a pair of 3-pointers on back to back possessions to settle his team down and rebuild the Falls' double-digit lead. The Blue Devils made a few runs down the stretch, but the Falls' experience helped it hold them off.
"Credit to the Falls — we were hoping that we could contain them a little more," Meetze said. "Second half, I think we stopped them from going to the paint and then they were just hitting from outside and that's tough. If the Falls is hitting their outside shots and free throws, they take it to another level, (but) it was still a five point game. I basically play without Q again, and you hope you get a little bit more, but again I'm very proud of how they kept their composure and it was a great game."
Ken West left nine points at the free throw line, going 6 of 15 for the game. Meetze said that poor free throw shooting has been the team's Achilles' heel all season.
"(The Falls) made everything, it is what it is — you got to make free throws, you got to finish," he said. "We'd like some of those layups back, but I can't complain. They ran their sets the way they were supposed to, they got open looks, they did the rights things. Tonight we weren't the better team."
Cuadra also had seven rebounds and seven assists, playing a complete game for the Blue Devils and picking his team up after Campbell went out. Sharpshooter Alex Price struggled to find operating room from the perimeter, converting only one 3 while dealing with Wilkins' tough on-ball defense. The junior scored nine points.
Niagara Falls' Ramir Burton scored 19 points for the Wolverines.
Freshman Terell Ford had another strong game, finishing with 13 points. Late in the fourth quarter he ripped a rebound away from Falls standout Jermaine Crumpton, who finished with 17 points, eliciting a negative reaction from the Wolverines coaching staff.
Ford is a big part of a seemingly bright future for the Blue Devils. Cuadra, Campbell and guard Joe Northrup are graduating, but Price is back for his senior year and Ford seems to get better every time he steps on the floor, Meetze said.
"We're growing something here and every year has been baby steps. Our three goals were to win the league one year, beat the Falls, and go to Buff State, and that's three in three years," Meetze said. "So we got to kick it up a notch and hopefully keep this going."Contact sports editor Matt Parrino at 693-1000 ext. 4117 and find Tonawanda News sports on Twitter @tonanewssports.

Tagged: Haiti
Oxfam's Julie Schindall explains the challenge of rebuilding communities in Carrefour Feuilles – a year after Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake.
Jimmy is responsible for chlorinating Oxfam's water trucks in Port-au-Prince.
Eleven months after the quake, Oxfam is still providing water and sanitation to the 40,000 people living in the camp.
Over the weekend Oxfam began chlorinating water for 300,000 people in a slum area of Cap Haitien. Recent violence spread across the city and Oxfam had to stop those activities. Other activities that have ceased are distributions of soap, water tablets and oral rehydration salts.
International agency Oxfam has doubled its cholera response since the first cases were confirmed in October in Haiti. Oxfam's water, sanitation and hygiene education programs are now reaching over 700,000 people in the capital Port-au-Prince, Artibonite, and Cap Haitien.
In response to the cholera outbreak in central Haiti, Oxfam has mobilized a team of five emergency specialists to set up water, sanitation and hygiene programs for an estimated 100,000 people in a heavily affected zone.
In a new report released today, international agency Oxfam called for a radical shift to prioritize agricultural investment in plans to rebuild Haiti after the devastating earthquake earlier this year.

Whitewater kayaking in Cagayan de Oro river, Philippines is a totally different experience compared to whitewater rafting. The thrill and excitement is more intense than rafting because you are on your own. You can stay longer in a particular rapids or location as compared to a raft. You can even paddle upstream if the current is not strong enough. Making the most of it and having fun. It's a confidence building experience from put-in to take-out point. But we do it as safe as possible. (Source : KayakDomain)

A Marker of the National Historical Institute is placed at the entrance of the cave. The cave is a short cavern that leads to a breathtaking view of the Cagayan de Oro River meanding below.
The Saint Augustine Cathedral was built in 1624 by Fray Agustin San Pedro who was called El Padre Capitan by the residents here. In 1778, boththe church and convent were burned down. From its ruins, Fray Pedro de Santa Barbara, together with generous Cagayanons, built the new church which was inagurated in 1780. But, it too did not last long as it was gutted in 1831.In 1841, the church was rebuilt using concrete materials. It was adorned with beautiful paintings of the four evangelists. It had a pipe organ. The wooden cross which stands today in the front of the cathedral, was erected in 1888.Archbishop James Hayes, SJ, in 1946 rebuilt the Cathedral and the Convent until 1946. It was about this time that the stained glass, given by the New York Sacred Heart chapel, was installed. (PHOTO : by Rhoel Condeza)
Cagayan de Oro is the Whitewater Rafting Capital in the Philippines. It isthe only city in the country that offers rafting year-round. Its river depth, incline and rock formations make rafting here in the Cagayan River a fund and exciting experience.Enthusiasts can connect with any of the several whitewater rafting operators and choose the level of thrill they can handle from 'beginner' to 'advance' to 'extreme'. You can opt to conquer just 14 rapids or go for all 21 of them!The rapids are at an internval of not less than 10-15 minutes of each other.Truly whitewater rafting on the Cagayan River has everything that makes for a one-of-a-kind thrill with awesome roar and power of water cascading over rocks and boulders.
The present building was constructed in 1940 and it is located on the grounds where the Casa Real once stood. With Cagayan de Misamis (the old name of Cagayan de Oro) as the capital of the Segundo Distrito de Mindanao, the Casa Real wasthe seat of the Spanish colonial administration with a Spanish military governor at the helm.On January 10, 1899, Cagayan de Misamis celebrated the new Philippine Republic with a festive parade and cannonades. The center of the two day celebration was the Casa Real where the first elected local officials held office. A historical marker place by the Cagayan de Oro Historical and Cultural Commission was installed in the building a hundred years later. (PHOTO : by Rhoel Condeza)
Named after a pre-war Municipal Mayor of Cagayan de Oro, Segundo Gaston, the park is located near the St. Augustine Cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace. Gaston Park was the main plaza of Cagayan de Misamis during the Spanish colonial period. It served as the training ground of local patriots during the Philippine-American War. Later it became the site of the Battle of Cagayan de Misamis on April 7, 1900. A National Historical Institute marker was placed in the park in 2000.

Since 1999, the state has seized more than 2,000 weapons from Connecticut gun owners under a law meant to protect people from harming themselves and/or others.
The New Haven Register takes an in-depth look at that law today and says some believe the Newtown tragedy will likely cause gun seizures to spike.
According to the state Office of Legislative Research: "State law allows police, after investigating and determining probable cause, to get a court warrant and seize guns from anyone posing an imminent risk of harming himself or someone else. A judge must hold a hearing within 14 days after the seizure and order the police to hold the guns for up to one year or return them. The judge (1) must, when assessing probable cause, consider recent acts of violence, threatening, or animal cruelty and (2) may, when assessing imminent risk, consider such factors as reckless gun use or display, violent threats, alcohol abuse, illegal drug use, and prior involuntary psychiatric confinement."
The Register says that proponents say the law has saved lives, and that if more people knew about it, the law could save more. However, people such as attorney Rachel Baird of Torrington, whom the Register says has represented clients who have had guns seized under the law, told the newspaper she believes more complaints will be filed because of Newtown and that people who own firearms "are subject to more scrutiny."
Gun control, and keeping guns out of the hands of unstable people, has been on the minds of people across the world since the Sandy Hook school massacre on Dec. 14. Here in Connecticut, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced the formation of a committee last week that will look at ways to improve public safety, particularly in schools, and will determine if changes are warranted in the areas of mental health treatment and gun control.
Gun control laws, such as the seizure ban and state laws regarding gun registration and the amount of ammunition one can purchase, will be closely scrutinized by the committee.
"I think it's time we have a realistic discussion about the weapons that are being used time and time again in these mass causality situations," Malloy said. "I mean it would be stupid not to have that conversation."

By Wade Coggeshall
INDIANAPOLIS — Michael and Erin Bogan, owners and operators of Promise Monsters, are making good on their pledge to be a positive influence on the world.
Promise Monsters are stuffed toys designed by the couple's five children. Each comes with its own "Monster Mission," a random act of kindness that once its owner completes can enter a code on the Promise Monsters website to redeem a reward.
This spring the Bogans, who live in Avon, ran a contest at Riley Hospital for Children, asking patients to design their own Promise Monster.
"We wanted a way to give back to Riley," Michael said. "I've been there, we've had kids there, nieces and nephews. We wanted to do something in the community with a local organization."
They ended up receiving just less than 50 submissions.
"That was less than what I anticipated, but apparently it was good for a Riley contest," Michael said. "I learned it's hard to get kids who are in the hospital to do things. Usually it's either they're in and out really fast or really sick and don't want to worry about anything else. It's not an easy situation."
The Bogans whittled those submissions down to five, then posted them on their website for the public to vote on. The winning entry came from Sophia Eager, 9, of Fort Wayne. Her Promise Monster is named Blobby Katy and her mission is to "sneak into houses and give people food who need it without being caught."
Sophia came to Promise Monsters' westside office last Friday with her parents, Jason and Melissa, to pick out fabric for Blobby Katy and design a smaller version of her, known as a Smarshmallow. Afterward she went to Wilbur's Lincolnwood Toy Store in Brownsburg for an official "winner's photo."
Sophia at least knew Blobby Katy would wear a pink beret because she's French. The fact that Sophia's been in ballet since age 2 probably helped inspire that.
That came to a temporary halt when she was 4. Sophia was diagnosed with kidney cancer. She spent the next nine months in and out of Riley for chemotherapy and other treatments.
"I call that the year we lived at the hospital," Melissa said. Sophia has been in maintenance mode ever since.
She's always been artistic. It's a trait she gets from her mom, who studied fine arts at Purdue, and not her dad.
"I have trouble drawing a stick figure," Jason said.
When he found out about the Promise Monsters contest, he asked Melissa if she thought Sophia would be interested. The response was absolutely.
"She came up (the monster) all on her own," Jason said.
Cassie Martin, officer of special projects for Riley, says the Promise Monsters contest was highly unusual for the hospital. The closest one she could compare it to was the holiday card design.
"We work with our child life staff to identify some of the families (who might want to participate in a contest)," said Martin, adding activities like this help Riley in two ways.
"We're always looking for ways to spread the word about Riley and the families it impacts," she said. "Sophia is a great example of that."
And then there's the financial component. Promise Monsters will donate $5 from every Blobby Katy sold to Riley's foundation. The toy is expected to be available this Christmas.
"More than half of our programs aren't self-sustaining, so we're reliant on donors to help bridge that gap," Martin said. "That way we can not only maintain but enhance the programs we have."
As for Promise Monsters, they reached the thousand sales mark last Christmas and now have merchandise in more than 30 stores in 16 states. They raised $20,000 through a Kickstarter campaign this summer to buy more manufacturing equipment. Sewers are needed to ramp up supply for the impending holiday season.
"Believe it or not, we're trying to get ready for Christmas already," Michael said. "I already feel like we're behind."
And they still have lots of ideas for new Promise Monsters.
"We still plan on releasing new monsters every year on an ongoing basis," Michael said.

Daniel Fisher, Forbes Staff
I cover finance, the law, and how the two interact.
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a case challenging state and federal laws prohibiting corporations from making direct contributions to political candidates, possibly indicating how it will rule in a similar case involving limits on individuals.
The high court this morning denied certiorari for Danielczick vs. U.S., apparently agreeing with the Obama administration that there was no reason to review an appeals-court decision allowing the criminal prosecution of a man accused of funneling more than$100,000 to political candidates through corporations he controlled.
The court's refusal could foreshadow how it will rule in another case challenging limits on how much money individuals can contribute to candidates. As I argued last week, the court likely took up McCutcheon vs. FEC to reaffirm what has been settled law for years: That Congress has the power to control the conduct of elections, including how much money people give candidates, despite its 2010 ruling in Citizens United striking down limits on corporate spending on political speech.
The two cases are very different, and involve different principles. Citizens United was about whether people organized into corporations or labor unions could buy television ads and express their opinions during political campaigns, and the Supreme Court said yes. McCutcheon and Danielczyk are about limits on direct contributions to candidates, which are much more vulnerable to the perception of corruption and, as we recently learned in the case of Jesse Jackson Jr., can even wind up in the candidate's own hands.
The Obama administration agreed, saying in a brief urging the court to deny cert. that the two cases have virtually nothing to do with each other.
"Citizens United's reasoning in the context of direct "political speech" does not mean that corporations and individuals must receive exactly the same treatment in the context of contribution limits," the U.S. Solicitor General's office said. Federal law has banned donations from corporate treasury funds since 1907 in part because individuals could use a welter of corporations to disguise their personal contributions to candidates, and evade the limits at issue in McCutcheon.
Hat tips to SCOTUSblog and Election Law Blog for highlighting the importance of the Supreme Court's refusal to act in this case. Election-law expert Rick Hasen at Election Law Blog says there's still room for concern:
By not agreeing to hear Danielczyk, the Court leaves corporate contribution bans in place not only on the federal level, but under state and local law. It may be that after the Supreme Court decides theMcCutcheon case, involving aggregate contribution limitations, that the standards for judging the constitutionality of contribution limit laws could change, making those laws harder to sustain. That could open up the corporate contribution limitation yet again.
But this non-lawyer's bet stands: The court will leave contribution limits alone, as it did today.
Who would have thought?
I think that ultimately the problem is not with money but with voters. There are too many voters who are affected by political advertisments either because they do not know enough, or have no reason to vote for any one candidate (but will still vote) or both. In the US the prevailing thinking is that everyone should vote even if all they do is add noise to the signal.
I am not trying to be elitist here. I myself am not always the most educated voter so I am not looking down on anyone. While I vote in most federal elections, I have abstained from voting in local elections because I admit that I usually do not know enough about candidates or issues to have a meaningfull and informed vote. I have tried in the past to inform myself about local elections, but as far as I can tell every candidate in local elections spews same platitudes: Better schools, safer streets, etc. As far as I can tell, it is not the issues that drive local elections but whomever can put most signs in people's yards or shake most hands before elections.
I have also abstained from voting in federal elections where I knew issues well but frankly saw no reason to vote for either candidate.
There is really no solution to this problem. Due to our unfortunate civil rights legacy we can't discourage people from voting with competency tests and poll taxes.
I could actually see unlimited political contributions helping rather than hurting. If you trully care about the issues than you will vote with your dollars for candidates and issues you support, and your vote will be proportionall to how much you care to give.

Sabres defenseman Andrej Sekera's new contract with the team covers four years and is worth $11 million. The contract is front-loaded, as the 25-year-old Slovakian defenseman will receive a $3 million signing bonus this year.
"I'm really happy everything came together," Sekera said by phone from his offseason home in Slovakia. "When you see the team, how it's built, and what changes were made and you see the ownership working and doing everything to help you be a winner, I'm pretty sure every single guy on the team is very excited about next season."
Sekera scored three goals in 76 games last season while posting career highs in assists (26), points (29) and plus-minus (+11). But he played in only two games in the playoffs due to an upper-body injury.
"I want to build on the last season that I had. I want to become a better player, a complete player," he said.

When Lucy meets David Wolf, a quiet, rustic man who lives on the outskirts of town, she thinks she can catch the attention of the town with his photograph. She doesn't count on her feelings stirring whenever she's near him.
Two things happen next that forever change the course of her life: Lucy meets someone who sees her as no one else has-as the compassionate, creative young woman that God made in His image. And Lucy helps David uncover a secret that forces him to change his perspective on an event that left him deeply-scarred. God's arms are around this unlikely couple as they discover the truth about long-held assumptions and the importance of forgiveness.
