Residents work to prevent crime in their neighborhood By DALLAS DUNCAN The Red & Black Editor’s Note: Last year, The Red & Black began compiling crime data to create an online crime map. For this Tuesday series we took that crime data and found the 10 most crime ridden residential streets in Athens- Clarke County. With Jan. 1 as our starting date, we tallied the crimes. Crime is always happening, and the list may change over time. Vine Street is fifth in the series. Samuel Lane was bom on Vine Street in 1932, when it was still an unpaved road called Day Street. Seventy-eight years later, he still sits on his front porch, watching the traffic roar past a street where Athens Housing Authority residences and low-income homes are Juxtaposed with stately, obviously higher-end houses.

Religion on wheels comes to Jewish students Rabbi adopts mobile tactics By PAIGE VARNER The Red & Black What may appear to be a makeshift tailgating tent on the bed of a pickup truck is actually a sign of God’s embrace. That’s how Rabbi Michoei Refson, co-director of the Chabad Jewish student center, described the “mobile sukkah” he is driving around campus today. During the weeklong Jewish holiday of Sukkot Hebrew for the "Feast of Tabernacles” or the News 2 Opinions 4 Lane said the area was once a quiet street, but not anymore. Now, Vine Street ranks on The Red & Black’s list of Athens-Clarke County’s most crime-filled residential areas. It’s a ranking Lane said he was sur prised by his only experiences with crime here were a break-in 15 years ago and a more recent occurrence where his car door lock was broken off. Chris Wilson, a University alumnus from Canton, has lived on Vine Street since July 15. “The police officer told us that we shouldn’t have moved here. It was the first thing he said,” Wilson said. “We have a nice TV that came with the house and he said that would get stolen soon.” Since Jan. 1, more than 40 report ed crimes graced the desks of the Athens-Clarke County and University PHENOM FINDING • See which new Bulldog is already tearing up the court.

Twelve counts of entering auto, eight forms of assault, nine forms of battery, three burglaries, four thefts by taking, two robberies, one DUI, one theft by receiving, one terroristic act or threat, one count of breaking and entering, one theft and one stalk ing were reported. “Maybe the second week we had a break-in to a car, and then the week after that we had a break-in into another car and then the week after that my car got rummaged through,” Wilson said. Wilson’s doors were unlocked when his vehicle was rummaged through. “That same week, the morning Sec VINE, Page 3 “Feast of Booths” -r which Refson said Chabad will stop cel ebrating Thursday, Jews are encouraged to spend as much time em they can in a makeshift tent called a sukkah. The tents remind Jews of the temporary dwellings in which the ancient Israelites lived. As God protected the Israelites who wandered 40 years in the wilderness, so he protects Jews today, Refson said. Spending time in a sukkah serves another purpose too. “You go out of your comfort zone and realize what’s impor tant to you family and Mends,” Refson said.

Jordan Edelstein, a junior from Alpharetta, said while grow ing up, his family built a sukkah on his back porch. He’d never seen a mobile version before.
