				<description><![CDATA[Soccer Shots is hosting a summer season for kids ages 2-8 in Delaware Park. It begins June 22 and will be held Saturdays from 9-10:30, Sundays from 3-4:30 and Wednesdays from 5-6. Each session is 30-minutes long. There will also be a one-week camp at SportsPlex in North Tonawanda from July 15-19 from 9-12 each day! Soccer Shots offers children a non-competitive introduction to sports, which is important when teaching kids to lead an active lifestyle! Cost and registration information is available on our website: www.soccershotsbuffalo.com . You can also learn more by calling 716-408-3071 or e-mailing buffalo@soccershots.org .

With three kids of their own, Mark Miller and his wife Maureen wanted to find a way to introduce their children to sports. But Mark, a former elementary school physical education teacher, and Maureen, an elementary school special education teacher, found most programs they had to choose from were competitive and placed children in a team setting that did little to develop their individual skills. That’s when SoccerShots was born.

SoccerShots is a non-competitive program that encourages kids to go outside and be active while teaching them individual skills and giving them a positive experience in sports at a young age. Coaches lead age-appropriate creative games that utilize a child’s imagination and teach kids soccer skills – making learning fun! Some day, kids will grow up and everything will be a competition – from getting a job, to finding a spouse, to even finding a decent parking spot! SoccerShots was created to let kids keep their fun-loving nature while not putting them in an exclusionary, highly competitive arena. Introducing children to sports at a young age is fantastic to encourage a healthy lifestyle, and SoccerShots provides a great first impression.

Mark (now Coach Mark!) and Maureen held their first season in January 2012 and had a little over 70 kids partake. The following spring, over 600 children took park in SoccerShots at facilities all over Buffalo and Western New York! With programs for kids aged 2-8, SoccerShots is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to parents and facilities that appreciate the message SoccerShots delivers to kids each and every session: have fun!

More about the directors: Coach Mark has been playing soccer since the third grade and has a degree in education. He and Maureen have worked hard to build a staff that shares their passion and SoccerShots vision of allowing kids to be kids while introducing them to sports and helping them learn the fun side of physical activity. Coach Mark and Maureen have three children, and with SoccerShots off the ground and running, they’re happy to be able to provide their own kids with a program that gives a positive first impression with sports.

Coach Mark is always available for media inquiries and can answer questions about childhood sports education, summer activities, healthy living, youth activity and more! If you ever need to reach him, his number is: (716) 408-3071. You can also reach him by e-mail at: coachmark@soccershots.org .]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Chances are you probably won’t be awake at 1:04 a.m. Friday, June 21, when the sun will be directly overhead of the Tropic of Cancer, marking the official start of Summer 2013. But back here in Western New York, Buffalo Citybration will be making a major announcement about our summer season at 5:04 p.m. Thursday, June 20, giving us an eight-hour head start on the season that festival-loving Buffalonians love most!
 
Citybration has a long history in Buffalo, one that dates back to 1907! Back then it was referred to as Buffalo Old Home Week, a week-long celebration of the city that showcased its many assets. The intent was twofold: To bring back those who had left the area for various reasons and to help keep our best and brightest here. It worked so well they didn’t bother doing it again ... until just seven years ago, that is.
 
In 2006, another Buffalo Old Home Week was clearly needed, and a group of passionate volunteers were able to bring together a fair facsimile of the event first held nearly a century ago. A centennial celebration was held in 2007, and the event has been held annually ever since. It took on a new name, Buffalo Citybration, and became a festive four-day affair showcasing the best of Buffalo and Western New York.
 
“At 5:04 p.m. Thursday, Buffalo Citybration will kick off summer in Buffalo, giving us a full eight-hour head start on our jam-packed festival season,” said Citybration Executive Director Marti Gorman. “Rather than producing another four-day extravaganza, Buffalo Citybration is now dedicated to celebrating our city all summer long – and you’re invited to come along for the ride! We’ll be kicking off our new ‘Buffalo — There’s So Much to Love’ campaign. It’s designed to keep Western New Yorker’s informed so we don’t miss any of our many local events, festivals, tours and cultural treasures. Each of these is an opportunity to share our pride, and shamelessly brag about what make this such a great place to live.”
 
The public is invited to kick off summer in Buffalo by attending the Citybration press conference at 5:04 p.m. Thursday, June 20, at the Market Arcade, a Buffalo landmark located at 617 Main St. in Buffalo. The festivities will take place in the Buffalo Niagara Visitors Center Gallery on the building’s first floor. 

“We chose this location because the gallery currently has on display an impressive collection of outstanding Buffalo photographs by well-known photographer Joe Cascio,” said Gorman. “And this beautiful building also houses numerous examples of what Citybration will showcase – Buffalo Tours, Shakespeare in Delaware Park, CEPA, the Darwin Martin House Corporation, not to mention Visit Buffalo Niagara, our community’s loudest cheerleader.”

				<description><![CDATA[Kerry Langan, author of two critically acclaimed collections of stories, “Only Beautiful & Other Stories” and “Live Your Life & Other Stories,” will return to her hometown of Buffalo to read from her books at Dog Ears Bookstore at 7:15 p.m. Monday, July 15.

When asked about her choice of venue, Langan noted: “I've been hearing fabulous things about Dog Ears Bookstore for years. When I learned it was located on Abbott Road in beautiful South Buffalo, my childhood home, I was overjoyed. I was born in Mercy Hospital on Abbott Road, lived on Salem Street and Hancock Avenue, swam at the old YMCA, took violin lessons at the convent and Irish dance lessons at St. Theresa's, and attended St. Martin's School. Some of my fiction takes place in South Buffalo. I can't imagine a more wonderful place than Dog Ears to share my writing!"

Langan, who completed her undergraduate and graduate education in Buffalo, had a career as an academic librarian before becoming a fiction writer. Prior to the publication of her books, her short fiction appeared in more than 40 literary journals published in the United States, Canada and Asia. She currently resides in Oberlin, Ohio with her husband and children.

The nonprofit Dog Ears Bookstore & Café is located at 688 Abbott Road. For more information, please visit www.dogearsbookstore.org or call 823-2665. You can also follow Dog Ears on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DogEarsBookstore for frequent updates.

				<description><![CDATA[A signing event for “Most Likely to Survive,” a recently released book detailing West Seneca resident Matthew Faulkner’s miraculous recovery from traumatic brain injury, will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, June 20, at the Impact Artists Gallery, Tri-Main Building, Suite 545, 2495 Main St., Buffalo. The event is part of the Fine Art Healing & Health Exhibit which runs through June 29.

Written by West Seneca native Joe Kirchmyer and Faulkner, the book details Faulkner’s automobile accident on March 2, 2009, that left him in a deep coma for two months with almost no chance of survival. Against all odds, he would walk out of ECMC 103 days later and across the stage at high school graduation just two weeks after that. Faulkner graduated, on time, from Canisius College in May of this year.

“Most Likely to Survive” was published by No Frills Buffalo publishing company. For more information, please visit www.nofrillsbuffalo.com.
