Neighbor Spotlight: Logan

This month, we spotlight Logan Newell, a remarkable young man who has been a part of our neighborhood for 13 years. Logan came to the United States at just 5 months old for several medical procedures and ended up staying permanently. Now 13 years old,

Logan is a high school freshman at Naaman Forest High School.

Logan has a passion for math and can often be found discussing mathematical

concepts with anyone willing to listen. This past summer, instead of attending camps, he dedicated his time to studying geometry. In addition to his love for math, Logan enjoy playing board games and is always eager to try new ones.

One of Logan's other passions is chess. He has been playing since he was 6 years old and aspires to become a Grand Master someday. This is an ambitious goal, but Logan is making significant progress. His current US Chess Federation rating is 1426, placing

him in the top 20% of all US Chess Federation players and in the top 10% of all junior players. Logan regularly participates in tournaments in the Dallas area.

Logan is looking to connect with others who share his love for chess and is interested in starting a chess club for enthusiasts who want to play and socialize.

PUBLIC SAFETY notes from Neighborhood Safety Committee Chair Terry Ziegler

Since July 1, 2025, there have only been two incidents reported to Richardson Police Department. Both had to do with autos being left outside. If you park outside remove all valuables and verify that you locked all the doors.

We have a crime watch group in Crowley Park and they are the “eyes and ears” of RPD. If you are interested in joining contact the Crime Prevention Unit at RPD or contact Terry Ziegler at 214-455-3294.

If you are leaving town let your neighbors know. Make sure someone picks up the mail and any deliveries left on your front porch. RPD offers house watching service while you are gone. Go to RPD website and search under “Services” and on the left side is “House Watch”. RPD will come to your house while you are gone to make sure everything is ok.

There will be a Coffee with the Cops on Friday September 26 @ 8:00am at StarBucks at Beltline and Plano Rd. Come by, have a cup of coffee and get to know a cop.
