Arrivals and Departures: A belated welcome to neighbors on the 6000 block of Westminster, Joan Hart-Hasler and Tony Hasler, both teachers, and their children Lois, Jack and Maude, students at St. Michael and St. George on Wydown. Daughter ‘Loie’ was one of the charming neighborhood Girl Scouts who kept us supplied with cookies this spring.

On the 6100 block of Westminster, we welcome new neighbor Peter Egelsman, with a fond goodbye to Steve and Nancy Cramer and their delightful children, who moved to Ames Place. Further west, welcome to Sammy and Elanor Sampson-Scott who have recently purchased a home on Westminster. Neighborhood Security Update: A series of second-story burglarlike noises on a recent late evening sent us scurrying into the street and into the safe harbor of our great neighbors.

The police responded within five minutes and did everything right, including asking about possible pets and other residents before thoroughly searching our house and yard.

We were collectively relieved to find an air conditioner which had fallen in, instead of a break-in.

The four policemen who came could not have been more helpful or respectful and assured us we had done exactly the right thing to call 911. Thanks to our local 9th District police officers! Congratulations to Tom Hoerr, longtime columnist for THE TIMES and Head of the renowned New City School, upon the publication of his newest book, “The Art of School Leadership.” We are so proud of his and the school’s great successes.

A new website really shows the innovative and productive atmosphere of New City. Visit www.newcityschool.org. We’d love to share YOUR news.
