A Stunning Holiday Surprise!Falconbridgehoa.org/movies.htm
It’s that thyme of year: sharing and celebrating friends, family, communi-ty, and (of course) food! I’m writing just before Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. Aside from the food, each passing year brings a more pressing reminder to make time for gratitude, which offers to me, at least, a valuable portal to other spiritual realms. But I digress . . .Back to community.
After a one-year hiatus, we’re once again looking forward to festooning Falconbridge with luminary magic and convening at the clubhouse for a community potluck. Shanti and Kelly Quisenberry have been di-recting this year’s Luminary project, while Linda Sheer is coordinating the potluck arrangements. Be sure to look for details – and volunteer opportu-nities – elsewhere in this issue of The Bridge.
More seasonal musings.
Annual holidays, along with my birthdays, are definitely occurring faster and faster – another reminder of time’s passage and more and more echoes of loss. I sometimes wonder if we should do more to recognize and, when appropriate, honor our Fal-conbridge community losses – often
barely noticed – when long-time resi-dents move away or die. Instances of both have occurred in recent months. Do we need customs or rituals to note these? We try our best to welcome newcomers with visits and newsletter articles. But what about those who depart? I have no answers or suggestions
right now, but certainly encourage you all to email me at [email protected] or any other Alliance Board member with ideas of your own – or post them to the listserv [email protected]. This message departs a bit from the
customary “Deck the Halls” spirit, but I wanted to season the traditional holiday goodies with a little food for thought. Please do accept the Board’s best wishes for a happy, healthy, and fulfilling season!
Seasoned Greetings!

Bridge December 2017
I am happy to report: We now have enough volunteers to make this work! Many thanks to all who have offered! Without all of you, this would NOT be possible. What’s next?
Now comes the hard part! We need all of you to consider being part of the “Light a Luminary” within Falconbridge by purchasing a luminary kit for your home. Also, con-sidering there is a lot of common area we’d like to cover with luminaries, there is an opportunity to purchase additional kits that will light up the common areas. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to the Ronald Mc-Donald House of Chapel Hill!So how does all of this work?
Residents will see order forms posted on the mailboxes. We will also send the order form out over the listserv. Fill out the order form, and enclose your check (no cash please) in an envelope. You can either pass this along to an Alliance Board member, or stop by 11 Elmstead Place where a box will be handy to drop your order. The dead-line for orders is Wednesday, December 6th. For the sake of logistics, earlier is better. Time permitting, you will be notified your order and payment were received.
If you have a neighbor who may not be able to partic-ipate for any reason, I urge you offer your support — however you may — in their place!Your luminary kits will be available starting 11 a.m. on
December 9th at the clubhouse (exact schedule TBD and to be communicated on the listserv and through your board members). I expect pickup will only be that week-end only for the sake of our volunteers. On December 16th, the sun sets at 5:02 p.m. At 6:00p.m.,
start lighting your luminaries in front of your home. If it is raining, we will light the luminaries on Sunday the 17th. Grab some eggnog, bundle up the kids, the dog, or your pet of choice and join your neighbors in a walk through the neighborhood. There will also be a pot-luck at the clubhouse on the 16th in the evening (details above). If you want to help, or have questions, please email [email protected]. I am very thankful I live in such a caring neighborhood,
and I look forward to seeing all of our neighborhood glowing for the Ronald McDonald House that night! —Kelly Quisenberry
Falconbridge Luminaries & Pot Luck PartySaturday, December 16, 2017 • 6:00-lighting & viewing 6:30-7:30 party: COME TO THE CLUBHOUSE & ENJOY TIME WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS. BEVERAGES WILL BE SUPPLIED. BRING YOUR FAVORITE APPETIZER DISH TO SHARE!
IN CASE OF RAIN: LUMINARIES WILL BE DEC. 17. PARTY IS STILL DEC. 16.
How Falconbridge Luminaries Event Will Work
The Light A Luminary Project brings over 40 Triangle neighborhoods together in peace and fellowship during the holiday season in honor of the families stay-ing at the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill who are unable to be in their own home during the holidays due to their child’s serious illness or injury.

Neighborhood Art Walk on Nov. 12 Was Great Success
I came home from meetings and errands, looked out my kitchen window, and wondered who was having a party on my block because of all the cars. Then I realized the traffic jam on Glen Forrest was for the Art Walk. So, I “hit” three homes, enjoyed visiting with my artist neighbors, and found three perfect gifts to stash in my gift closet.
–Rosemarie Kitchin
What a special neighborhood! Everyone was so welcoming and warm. I was stunned at the quality of the artists’ work! I definitely picked the right neighborhood to live in!
–BJ Atwood
What a friendly, community-building event! Artists were easy to access in their clusters, and everyone had their own unique perspective on the medium they worked in. Great price ranges. And don’t forget the food!
–Marese Casey
As newcomers to the community, it was wonderful to see how many very creative people live behind the doors of the houses we pass on neighborhood walks, and it was even better to be warmly welcomed into the homes of so many people. We feel really lucky to have moved into such a unique and friendly place!
–Judy Rosen
The creativity in this neighbor-hood is incredible. I wanted to buy something from everyone—but had to limit myself! Thanks to all the artists who worked so hard to make this wonderful show and sale.

As reported in recent listserv posts, a number of Falconbridge neighbors have experienced more fre-quent and severe sewage odors from the nearby Far-rington Road wastewater treatment plant and pos-sibly from our own sewer lines. At its November 7th meeting, the Falconbridge Alliance Board adopted a resolution that “hereby recognizes the concerns of certain residents about ob-jectionable wastewater-related odors in the Falconbridge neighborhood; supports all efforts to systematically identify the source(s) of and, to the extent feasible, remediate those odors; and, designates Mr. John Noble as the Falconbridge community’s point of contact in further exchanges of infor-mation with the City of Durham.” On November 9, John led a delega-
tion of residents and expressed their concerns, as well as those of the man-agers of Crosstown Apartments and several nearby businesses, to a work session of the Durham City Council. (An audio recording of John’s presen-tation and responses by Council mem-bers and staff is available at http://durhamnc.gov/AgendaCenter. Scroll down to November 9, 2017 Durham City Council Work Session Audio, and click on the speaker icon. The Falcon-bridge item begins approximately 10 minutes into the meeting.) A copy of the staff’s slide presentation can be viewed here.An excellent article by Dawn
Baumgartner Vaughn was published in the November 15th Durham
Morning Herald about the odor issues, the recent Council work session, and follow-up interviews with neighbors. The full article, including photos, is available online here. Portions of the article are excerpted below:
What’s That smell?
[John] Noble said the smell extends beyond just his neighborhood, which is about a mile from the N.C. 54 inter-section, a busy one for those heading toward nearby Chapel Hill. “When [the smell] is noticeable, it’s
very noticeable,” [Tara] Piccirilli said . . . at her Falconbridge home, which was built in 1985. The South Durham Water Reclamation Facility was built in 1984 and expanded in 1995.“It’s overpowering, too,” Tisha
Broyles said. “When it’s out there, it’s out there.”Bob Johnson moved into his Fal-
conbridge home in June and had not noticed the facility or the smell before buying the house. Helen and Michael Navascues have lived in the neighbor-hood for 15 years and said the smell has gotten worse with development.
“It’s very sporadic,” Michael Navascues said. “[The smell] can be very powerful.”
What the residents have done
Noble told the Durham City Council about the problem during the council’s work session on Nov. 9. He’s not unhappy with the city’s
response thus far, he just wants to make sure they’re actually going to fix the problem. He credits them for working toward a solution, but wants an outside firm to come up with a fix sooner.The city’s water management depart-
ment head, Don Greeley, responded to Noble’s complaints at the meeting and told the council what his depart-ment is planning to do about it.“We’ve known for a long time it
has odor issues around I-40, which is where main flow comes in,” Greeley said. “Predominantly the winds go from west to east 60 to 70 percent of the time,” he said, but other times the wind blows odor another way. Some residents came and toured the facility earlier this year, he said.“There are days we realize the plant
smells,” Greeley said. “During the night when flows are low, the sewers are not moving as much and gases col-lect in the system ... Morning pushes it out,” hence the smell. He also said that air release valves adjacent to the
What’s The Big Stink?

sidewalk and road near the plant push gas out, so they use an air scrubber at the vent. Wastewater coming through that air release valve is collected from the Southpoint area as well as the Woodcroft neighborhood, he said, and that the perception of those walking by is that it’s from the plant.What’s coming down the pipe
Kirk Butts, a water department spokesperson, said that after the work session, water management took another trip to Falconbridge based on Noble’s complaints about the odors. “In his next door neighbor’s front
yard, we found a blocked sewer clea-nout,” Butts said. A photo shows rag
blockage and subsequent spilled sewage, he said. It’s a “good, but rather funky, reminder for all homeowners to keep their cleanouts properly main-tained, and to only flush #1s, #2s, and TP [toilet paper] down the toilet. These non-wovens cause major problems for pri-vate and municipal sewer systems.”[A 2015 technical report prepared
for the City recommended that $4.4 million of a proposed $30 million construction project scheduled to be-

Board Meeting

FALCONBRDIGE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
FHA President’s Corner Happy Holidays. At
the last Board meeting we selected an engi-neering company to prepare an Emergency Action Plan for the Falconbridge dam.
You may recall that during our last dam inspection we were informed that we needed to prepare such a plan. Before you become alarmed, the dam is not at risk of failing. The plan must be prepared by a certified engineer and includes the impact of any dam failure on downstream residents. The analysis is to consider what could happen in the event of a rainfall equal to the greatest rain fall that has occurred during the last one hundred years.
Ron Weinhold Retiring
I’m sorry to announce our long- term community manager Ron Wein-hold is retiring effective December 31st. Ron will still be on the property in December; wish him luck as he begins to work on his golf game. We have been very fortunate. Although we knew him as our community manager, he was also the President of Talis, and most recently a Regional Vice President for Towne Properties (Towne Properties purchased Talis about two years ago). Ron has been replaced by Danielle Flippo, who has been with Talis/Towne Properties as our assistant community manager.2017 Financial Report In 2016 we had to delay several
units’ painting and repair into 2017, because of a financial deficit. Since January, we have been on an ex-pense moratorium. The Board has
reviewed every request and only approved homeowner repair and maintenance requests and safety issues. I’m proud to say that as a result it looks like we will finish 2017 within budget, and having completed the painting and repair of the units delayed from 2016 and all the units scheduled for 2017.Serve on the Board?
April seems a long way away, but it’s quickly approaching. If you think you might be interested in serving your community as a member of the Board, please contact a Director, or call me, Ron Johnston, at 919-619-1177.The next Falconbridge Board meet-
ing will be on January 22. In the interim, it will be business as usu-al. Contact Danielle with any work order requests.

Our Souls at NightThursday, Nov. 9Neighbors Addie (Jane Fonda) and Louis (Robert Redford) have lived on the same block for many years but do not know each other very well. They are both widowed and are lonely . . . until Addie shows up at Louis’s door one night and asks, “I wonder if you would consider coming to my house sometimes to sleep with me?”
“This simple, touching film takes within its warm embrace the ache of loneliness that comes with old age, the yearning for the healing balms of honest and revealing talk, the pain and frustration that stems from other people gossiping about us, and the burdens and blessings that are mixed together as our children and grandchildren become the central focus of our lives.” — Spirituality and Practice
Then . . . Let’s Talk About It! at our first “book-into-film” conversation (to be sched-uled for the following week). Ken Haruf ’s novel — a New York Times best-seller — was published posthumously a year following his death in 2014. About it the Washington Post wrote: “Such a ten-der, carefully polished work that it seems like a blessing we had no right to expect.” It’s an easy read, almost novella length. We’ll have copies for purchase before or at the film showing, when we’ll also schedule the follow-up session. Interested? Contact Lisa Anthony at 919-402-1814.

Walking the Gas Line/Fire & Holiday SafetyRecently, there has been some
confusion about the use of the gas line right-of-way as a walking path. Since the new pipe was put in, the grass has grown and that straight strip of land appears to be some kind of community proper-ty. Most of it is not. The pipe actually follows the property lines of houses on Glen Forest Drive, Falconbridge Road, Charrington Place, and Shal-lowford Lane (the red line on the map). The gas company has an
easement that allows it to dig up the ground there, but the land still belongs to the homeowners. So, if you’re walking down the gas line, you’re in your neighbors’ yards and you should have permission. The smaller piece of the pipeline below the dam and on the other side of Huntingridge heading toward Brookhollow (the green line) is part of the townhome common ground, open to everyone.
Kidde fire extinguisher recall
Some months ago, this column was devoted to home fire extinguishers and recommended several. Since then, one of the most popular brands, Kidde, has announced a recall. Cer-tain models, like the one pictured, have plastic handles or push buttons that might fail in an emergency. To learn if your extinguisher is on the list, go to this site:https://inmarmarketaction.com/kidde/
Fill out an online form, and Kidde will send you a new extinguisher. It will arrive in packing material that you can use to return the old extinguisher at no charge via FedEx. I had two of the suspect models. The first re-placement arrived last week. I still think that home fire extinguishers are a good idea. If you have one, find out if it’s on the recall list, but don’t throw it away. Hold on to it until you get a replacement.
Holiday Home Security
These tips come from a list created by the Durham Police Department. I think they’ve been here before, but
they’re worth repeating.Don’t display gifts where they can be seen
from outside, or leave them visible in your car while shopping.Break down boxes of such large, expensive
items as flat-screen TVs and take them to a recycling station instead of leaving them in front of your home. (You can take cardboard to the center behind the Meadowmont Har-ris-Teeter.)If you’re traveling, tell your Neighborhood
Watch block captain and neighbors when you’ll be gone. Consider using at least two timers to turn on lights inside your home. Leave a radio on so that it sounds like someone is home. Cancel newspapers and mail delivery. If possible, leave a car parked outside or in your driveway.
