	Shooting in Chicago 9-20-01 The Chicago Tribune included a story this week about an 8 year old child who was struck by a stray bullet in the 1900 block of North Spaulding Ave. The story said this boy was the third child shot since the weekend. We think that tutoring/mentoring programs that operate in the non-school hours and offer a wide range of learning activities, can be a way to reduce the violence in inner city neighborhoods. However these programs need more volunteers, more money, more business partners to succeed. Please see the web page in the TutorMentor File Cabinet called shooting_9-20-01.htm to find mentoring programs, businesses, churches and schools in the neigborhood of the shooting. Pick a program and get involved. List of Programs

	Mark Lane Shot The front page of the 12/12 Chicago SunTimes shows a full photo of Ophra Winfrey and MarkLane Jr. In 1993 Mark was a co-star with Ophra in the movie, "There are no Children Here". While he survived gangs in the movie, he did not in real life. He was shot two days before Thanksgiving at age 22. There are many Tutor/Mentor programs in the Chicago area where you can offer kids an alternative to gangs. List of Programs
