COULD a bearded, brim-hatted Lubavitcher from Crown Heights be one of next year's breakout musical stars?

It's not as far-fetched as it might sound. Since his live album was released last year, the buzz has been growing around Matisyahu, a 26-year-old vocalist whose music combines reggae, hip-hop and Jewish spirituality.

New York Daily News
Exactly two weeks after the Daily News published my concerns about raising my son in a rough neighborhood - Crown Heights - where crime is on the rise, the front-page story was about one of my neighbors, Police Officer Wiener Philippe, getting robbed and shot on St. Johns Place by a thieving lowlife who remained at large as of yesterday afternoon. The NYPD's command staff must now match Philippe's bravery with concerted action.

After years of headlines touting historic declines in crime, the latest numbers in Brooklyn's Crown Heights and Prospect Heights neighborhoods paint a much less rosy picture.

In the 77th Precinct, where I live, there were 15 murders last year - way down from 1989, when 70 people were murdered, but still an unacceptable 66% increase from 1998. In the neighboring 71st, which covers lower Crown Heights, there have been 18 murders this year, an eye-popping 157% increase from last year.

Bullets keep flying in my backyard
