Why Join the Alliance?As the last vestiges of the January
snowfall were leaving the streets of Falconbridge, the Alliance Board met for its monthly meeting. The main topic of discussion was the upcoming membership drive for the Alliance. We spent considerable time talking about why people join the Alliance, why others may not, and finally, how we might do a better job of messaging the true value of the Alliance.I ask that you give me a moment to
illuminate my views, and to a larger degree, the board’s perspective on the role of the Alliance within Fal-conbridge. As you read these words, what you’re really reading is what you and I, as Alliance members, give to (as well as receive from) Falconbridge.In short, the funds
we provide by joining the Alliance allow for the continuation and growth of programs and activities whose focus is to enhance the lives of all Falconbridge residents. This is done through a shared commitment to community-centric efforts, and a recognition that the preservation of neighborly values is a worthwhile cause. Yes, it also helps with the more mundane costs of sponsoring regular community events, but I presume we don’t give to groups like the Red Cross, Sierra Club, or otherwise for
the free address labels emblazoned with a cardinal in the corner. Membership funds also help mul-
tiple neighborhood groups (see Falconbridge.org for a complete list) continue to meet and form. They are used to help with communication of all the varied events, newsletters, neighborhood directories, and so on. In some cases, our voluntary dues help neighbors helping neighbors in need. Whether paying for gas to take a resident to a doctor’s appointment, or providing funds to help with an unexpected emergency, your resources are appreciated tremendously.So, I leave you with this one last
question: Do you see these communi-ty enhancements as valuable to you, your neighbors, or Falcon-bridge at large? If so, I would ask that you consider becoming an
Alliance member this year, again or for the first time. Your contribution is needed, valued, and appreciated!
—Kelly Quisenberry, January ChairP.S. In addition to supporting your
community and adding value to the neighborhood, your Alliance member-ship entitles you to a free copy of the Falconbridge Directory, free mailbox repair, and discounts on some Alli-ance-sponsored classes.

The Falconbridge Alliance newsletter is distributed monthly to
all Falconbridge Alliance members.

We’re Consolidating into One Newsletter!
Coming in March: a new single monthly newsletter for Falconbridge Alliance and FHA/townhome news.
In December, a joint Alliance/FHA committee consisting of Conni Rivers, Bolton Anthony, Mike Mayo, Rae Thompson, Mia Prior, and Howard Goldberg prepared a plan to consoli-date the two newsletters to better serve the entire Falconbridge community. This plan was recently approved unanimous-ly by the Boards of the Alliance and the FHA. The new newsletter will include the
Falconbridge-wide news you see in this newsletter (e.g., News & Events, Neighborhood Watch, etc.), along with information provided periodically by (1) the FHA, targeted specifically at townhome owners, and (2) the FCA, targeted to single family home owners. Watch for the first issue on March 1!
–Howard Goldberg
What should we call our new consolidated Falconbridge newsletter? Put on your thinking caps, get creative, and
email your suggestion to Rae Thompson at [email protected] by February 15. There’s no time to waste, since we’ll need time to design the new banner! The joint Alliance/FHA newsletter committee
will review all submissions and select a winner for the launch of the single newsletter on March 1. We’ll give the neighbor whose newsletter name is chosen a valuable (well, semi-valuable) prize—a mug with the new name emblazed on it. If the chosen name is submitted by more than one entrant, the first one to email Rae the winning name will receive the prize.

From Winter Wonderland to Ice CapadesBeautiful blankets of snow covered Falconbridge with soothing silence in early January. The picturesque land-
scape soon turned treacherous, however, as the temperature dipped close to zero and the underlying slush turned to ice. Most of us welcomed our house-bound status for the first 24 hours or so, but became increasingly eager to get out and about. Lawrence Proctor and granddaughter Natalie ventured forth to enjoy the snow, while Harriet Crisp took her pictures from inside her cozy abode. Al Bugg wandered out to take the wonderland

Cheers!
Summertime is right around the cor-ner, and the RFC is making plans to bring you the longest and best pool season ever! The pool will be open to all members, their families and friends, all day, every day (6:00am to sundown) from May 27 through October 15. We will continue to have daily
pool maintenance provided by Pool Professionals, Inc. But there will be no lifeguards this year. See related article on page 5. Your membership fee is not
increasing and it is all-inclusive, with no add-on fees (i.e., no guest fees, no dawn-to-dusk fees, no initiation fee). An installment payment plan is available.
We are adopting the model used by 90 percent of privately owned community pools like ours—no life-guards on duty, members and their guests have controlled access to the pool during daylight hours.
This means that everyone will have a “dawn to dusk” membership, so we are eliminating the fees we have charged in the past for a key or club-house access code.
Like last year, you may bring up to five (5) guests to the pool (and club-house) who are not Falconbridge residents, at no charge. As always, the clubhouse is available for rental for larger parties.And, new for 2017, your pool mem-
bership now lasts from May 2017 through April 2018, bringing you year-round benefits at no additional cost. These benefits include (but are not limited to) having personal access to the clubhouse where you can use the free Wi-Fi, host a small group or BBQ (up to 5 guests), visit our well-stocked library, enjoy free popcorn at the movies, attend members-only functions such as special film screen-ings, clubhouse breakfasts, and Grandparents/Parents Day Out.For those who are not interested in
swimming and water activities, we are offering a new social membership this year. CLICK HERE for more details.

● ● @ The Clubhouse
The Recreational Facilities Committee (RFC) for the Fal-conbridge Homeowner’s Asso-ciation (FHA) has reviewed many aspects of the pool and its operation, including con-tinuing with lifeguards on duty or changing to a mainte-nance-only pool. Safety is our number one concern.
Taking into account membership needs and ages, and attendance and popularity of the Dawn to Dusk program over the last two years, RFC recommended, and the FHA Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve, that Falconbridge become a maintenance-only pool. In 2016, 79 of the 163 town homes
registered to use the pool and 56 memberships were sold to single family homes. Seven of those mem-berships were family memberships; the majority were singles or couples. We had no members with children over the age of 12 and a handful of members with younger children/grandchildren. For the month of August, we had difficulty finding lifeguards. On many occasions, RFC members had to sit at the pool and inform people (especially those with children) there was no lifeguard on duty and ask them to sign waivers stating that they had been made aware of the situation. At no time did anyone object or refuse to swim under those conditions. The Dawn to Dusk program, which allows a mem-ber to swim when a lifeguard isn’t on duty, was used by 65 households. Lifeguards not neededWhen the city of Durham inspect-
ed our pool in 2016 for opening, the comment was made that Falcon-bridge was a “dinosaur.” It was ex-plained to us that we were one of the
few remaining pools with lifeguard staff. Further investigation revealed that, of the more than 1200 HOAs our insurance company provides coverage for, fewer than 20 have lifeguards. Talis Management tells us that fewer than 10 percent of their clients utilize lifeguards. Our insur-er informed us that most places that still utilize lifeguards are considered the “mega” type of pool with slides, diving boards, swim teams, desig-nated swim lanes, large numbers of members. Daily maintenance will continueA maintenance contract means that
someone will come daily to check the chemicals (add if needed), clean the bathrooms, dispose of trash, and check the pump house. Two to four
days a week, they will vacu-um the pool, clean upper and lower decks, check skimmer baskets, clean tile, etc. This is in line with what was done by the lifeguard when not on the stand. The main difference is that no one will be lifeguard-ing.
Insurance requires that the pool meet all city and county licensing regulations—a procedure we have undertaken each year. A telephone meeting with the city/county pool inspector insures that we will be in compliance with all requirements for a maintenance-only pool this coming May 2017. FHA and RFC look forward to the
2017 pool season. A pool or social membership is now for one full year and includes much more than just the swim season. Membership informa-tion will be available mid-February at falconbridgehoa.org. We hope you will join us!

A Special Presentation of “Being Mortal” Set for March 2
Renowned surgeon Atul Gawande teams with FRONTLINE to challenge us all to reexamine how we think about death and dying. This film also ex-plores the burgeoning art and science of palliative care and the ways in which having a conversation around a single question can empower patients to live their lives fully, all the way to the very end. That question: “What are your priorities if your time is limited?”
Join us at the clubhouse on March 2, from 6:30-8:00pm for this special showing of the film “Being Mortal” co-sponsored by Falconbridge Alliance and Falconbridge Friends. Betsy Barton, M.P.H., Educator at Transitions LifeCare will lead a discussion afterwards. The event is open to all Falconbridge residents.

What an experience! It had been 37 years since I had had a major surgery, and time has faded that memory. How I wish I had a
Falconbridge Friends team in 1979: a team whose members would graciously
cook or purchase meals for me and my caretaker friends, gather my mail, hustle my trash bins, run errands and make “drug runs,” shop meticulous-ly at Harris Teeter using my detailed list, and help with the mundane task of
changing bed linens (It’s hard to make military-style beds when one can’t stick a knee under a heavy mattress corner to pull a fitted sheet just right/tight enough). Team Rosemarie had a conscientious team captain who pulled this all together efficiently, making last-minute changes as they were needed. To prepare for my surgery
and the help Friends would provide, I met with a Friends member who assessed my post-surgical needs and sent a message to all Falconbridge Friends volunteers to form my team and find its captain. Falconbridge Friends do what they want to do, when they can do it, to
Friends Make Post-Surgery Recovery Easy
help neighbors with short- or longer-term needs. This works. And it works well.I’ve been a Falconbridge
Friends volunteer since this wonderful neighbor-hood resource formed back in 2008. Being on the other side of volunteering to help neighbors is, as our newsletter editor Rae Thompson wrote in an earlier issue, humbling. Not only do I have a new knee after postponing this recommended surgery for more than a decade, I have a new enthusiasm for being a Falconbridge Friend. Thanks to all of you who
helped me, and appreciation for this wonderful neighbor-hood in which we live.

Chips from a Cracked PotIn 2016 we experienced a Super
Moon. Besides being lovely to behold, it also added length to our day. Now, before you get too excited about having the extra 2.3 milliseconds during which you can plant all those seeds and plants you ordered from the catalogs in January, you may have to deal with the aftereffects of the Ice Age: potholes. Fortunately, I don’t think our local ones will be enough to change the rate of earth’s spin or seriously deform our
turf. I’m just reminding you that small and cyclical changes do add up.So, mulch, mulch, mulch (but not
more than 3 inches)! This will add to the composition of your soil and, over time, will much improve your plot. Also, soil test, soil test, soil test; get with the program! And don’t forget to water smartly, plant native plants, avoid invasive
species, and remember to spray dormant oil on your fruit trees right now.

• From Potholes to Planting
We Won FREE BULBS for Spring!
Falconbridge was selected as a winner of the “Keep Durham Beautiful 2017 Bulb Blitz.” We received an assortment of approximately 75 bulbs and plants, including tulips, hostas, daisies, irises, and day lilies. You may see neighbors, like Kathy Farinola and Eston Campbell, planting them in the neighborhood. Since they’re meant to be visible from the street, they will be a wel-come sight this spring!

● ● Neighborhood Watch
Recently a resident contacted Neigh-borhood Watch and asked if there was a way to let the police know that he was going to be away from his home for an extended time. He want-ed them to keep an eye on the place.Of course, that is one of Neighbor-
hood Watch’s primary aims—for residents to look out for each other, particularly when they’re not around. In this case, though, the resident who was traveling did not have a block captain to contact. We were able to resolve the matter by contacting an-other block captain who lived nearby and agreed to check the condition of the house on a regular basis.However, since that business was
BLOCK CAPtains NEEDED!
All townhomes are currently represented by Neighborhood

Who’s Watching Your House While You’re Away?
INSTRUCTIONS: To request a house check/ride by, print and cut out the form below. Fill out the form and then either (1) scan and email it to Officer Lawanda Mock at [email protected], or (2) mail or hand deliver the paper copy to Ms. Gwendolyn Bry-ant at the District 3 Substation at #8 Consultant Place, Durham, NC, 27701 (across Shannon Road from the Durham County Library, near the Wynnsong 15 Theater), and ask Ms. Bryant send it through the inter-office mail.
cleared up, I’ve learned that there is a program that the police use to look in on houses when the owner is away. It’s called the “House Check” or “Ride-By,” run by the Citizen Observer Patrol. See below for more information.Don’t forget that when you’re going
to travel, contacting your block cap-tain is a convenient and, we hope, effective way of keeping an eye on your place. Even more important, let your neighbors on either side and across the street know when you’re leaving and when you’re coming back. They’re more likely to be in a position to see something that’s going amiss.

● ● Message From Our BoardThe Alliance Board wants you to know what we discuss and decide, so here’s a summary of our January meeting. And we welcome your attendance at our monthly meetings, held on the first Tuesday of every month.
–Alliance Board
Summary of Board of Directors Meeting of Falconbridge Alliance
January 10, 2017—The Board discussed an offer by Jim Carroll to conduct a review of the financial operations of the Falconbridge Alliance and decided to arrange for that to be conducted immediately following the end of the fiscal year.Plans for the membership drive were discussed. Also, revisions of the membership application form and how it would work with online registration and payment were discussed. The membership drive activities are to be completed by March 17, 2017.A proposal from a committee considering how to con-solidate the neighborhood newsletters, prepared by Howard Goldberg, was accepted. Also, because of issues related to email, it was decided the newsletter will be made available on the community website. After discussion of a few of the important services or benefits from Alliance membership, it was decided that the consolidated Falconbridge newsletter would be made available to all residents, but that the neighborhood directory would be provided only to members. Further, individual mailbox repairs, as needed, would be pro-vided only to members. Additionally, it was decided that Alliance members would be provided a discounted rate for events and that neighborhood interest groups and similar organizations sanctioned by, and possibly funded by, the Alliance or using the Clubhouse must be initiated
by an Alliance member. After discussion, it was decided that the various services provided by Falconbridge Friends should be available to all residents of the Falconbridge community and that further discussions would be had with the organizers and volunteers providing those services about how to communicate the desire that those receiving services might be encouraged to be Alliance members. The desire for more information about the general activities and organization of Falconbridge Friends was expressed, and Kathryn Myers will be asked to serve as an information-al liaison to the Board.Conni Rivers announced that Yoga classes will begin January 28 and continue for 10 weeks. It was decided that the Alliance would take over organization of the classes for future sessions. It was also suggested that the Alliance have a person assigned to oversee clubhouse use by interest groups. Also, the need for volunteers to participate in the Social Committee and organize com-munity activities was discussed. The Blues Brunch was announced for January 22. Additionally, the neighbor-hood listserv will be identified as managed and provided by the Alliance.Continued rotation of the chairmanship of the Alliance among Mike Mayo, Ed Holland, and Kelly Quisenberry was approved.
December 6, 2016—It was decided to again write to an owner who has maintained a car parked on the street for a very extended time asking for compliance with the cov-enant that prohibits parking for more than a week.Owners whose landscaping is obscuring visibility at a few road intersections will be called to gauge their will-ingness to improve the situations.
It was decided to assure that the Falconbridge Alliance, Inc. is the primary owner of the rights to clubhouse use available from the recent cooperative renovation projects with the FHA. The agreement setting out those rights will be reviewed and updated.An effort will be made to add the recent revisions of the bylaws of the corporation into a single integrated document.
