Sustainable energy programs supported in Durham By Lauren Takores Record-Journal staff
Durham will be among the first to join a new program for towns to reach sustainability goals.

The Board of Selectmen approved on Monday, Dec. 11 for the town to participate in the Sustainable CT municipal certification program, which First Selectman Laura Francis helped create. The program developed as a Conference of Connecticut Municipalities initiative in 2016 and 2017. The CCM Task Force on Sustainability created the vision for Sustainable CT in early 2016. Francis was member of task force, which turned into an advisory committee she vice-chaired.
Local ski slopes are getting ready to open this weekend with ideal weather conditions predicted.
“The task force decided it should happen, and the advisory committee made it happen,” Francis said on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
Powder Ridge in Middlefield anticipates a Friday opening and Mount Southington will open on Saturday.
Now she’s a member of the board of directors that will be the governing body for the newly-formed nonprofit which will administer program.
Mount Southington General Manager Jay Dougherty said staff planned to power up the snow system Monday night to be ready for the weekend. Powder Ridge coowner and Management Director Sean Hayes said snow making began over the weekend, but production will increase in the next few days.
Towns register and then complete action items and meet requirements to earn points toward certification.

Durham participated in the pilot phase of Solarize Connecticut in 2012, and the town also is considering installing an electric car charging station. Sustainable CT is administered by the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University. “When there were conversations around creating a sustainability rating system for Connecticut, we thought it was a great idea,” said Lynn Stoddard, Institute director. Three foundations–Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, Common Sense Fund, Hampshire Foundation–supported the creation and coordination of the program. The foundations fund community-level work associated with energy and climate change, Stoddard said.

”They’ve been supportive as funders with money and ideas and being at the table through the creation process,” she said. The Institute is seeking additional funding from other foundations, sponsors and grants.

Powder Ridge’s new synthetic trail will also prove valuable as the park won’t have to be as reliant on the weather for the necessary three feet of snow base to open a trail.

Typically, this means more natural snow fall, but even it it’s dry, artificial production will be well off. “Ideally I’d have a three to six inch snowstorm each Thursday,” and the weekends would be 35 degrees and sunny, Dougherty said. But traditionally, ski slopes are always reliant on mother nature and the weather is never always perfect, he added. bwright@record-journal.com 203-317-2316 Twitter: @baileyfaywright

“This was a summer of renovations,” Dougherty said. The rental shop will include new racking and a more efficient layout and the mountain room will provide more seating on the main dining floor, he said.
As for the rest of the season, Lessor said there will be a few days that will warm up a bit, but the end December and beginning of January should provide good snow conditions.

help from “a higher power.” How is this not false advertising? If a carnival barker were to use those same names to lure people into playing a game of chance, would he not be hauled into court by the legal authorities of the same state that relies on its allegedly “lucky” scratch-off tickets, and other games, to put more than $320 million into its piggy bank annually?

Linehan speaks on sexual misconduct against her By Mike Savino Record-Journal staff
Liz Linehan thought she was living out her childhood dream when she became a producer and on-air personality for a morning drivetime radio show in the mid1990s. Linehan would perform her own radio shows as a teenager, using her friends as guests, and fantasized about interviewing stars like Madonna.
She was confident the incident would result in swift and decisive action for her coworker, who had a reputation for that kind of behav-
She shared snippets of the incident publicly over the next 20 years, but, as powerful men in several industries have recently been accused of sexual misconduct, Linehan says she was inspired to share her experience after seeing some of the response.

At the holiday season, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made our progress possible.
“We need to unlearn the slut-shaming that happens,” Linehan said, expressing particular frustration about women launching the criticism toward other women. “We need to stand up together and, not just believe people who are accusing others, but also to say that this is a culture that we’re
78612-01
Linehan, now a freshman Democratic state representative from Cheshire, said she fought back anger, embarrassment, and tears until the next break, when she told her program director about the incident.
Linehan said she also became the subject of rumors that followed her throughout Connecticut’s small radio industry, forcing her to eventually leave for New York and become a concert promoter.
Specifically, Linehan said her story is an example of why victims, who have less stature than their attackers and are often women, are scared to come forward. Some critics have questioned why victims have taken so long to come forward with their accounts.

Then one morning, she said another personality on the show sexually assaulted her as a commercial break was coming to an end, putting his hand on her chair and touching her inappropriately as she went to sit down.

anonymity. Those sources still work in the radio industry, and were concerned about repercussions. Linehan isn’t publicly naming the man she is accusing, nor is she identifying either radio station. She said she isn’t seeking retribution, and only wants to share her account as an example of why victims need more support from the public. The Record-Journal did reach out to the alleged attacker to ask if he contested the allegations, but he didn’t respond to multiple emails seeking comment. The company that owned the two stations in Linehan’s account has since been acquired by another company. The Record-Journal is not naming the company because Linehan isn’t naming the stations, but still reached out to that company to ask if it contested the allegations. After gathering information about Linehan’s allegations, a regional manager didn’t return a request for comment. After graduating from Central Connecticut State University, Linehan began working at a Connecticut radio station and quickly progressed from intern to producer for her first station’s morning show, a role that also saw her appearing on air. One of the other personalities would often make crude comments, Linehan said. She said she would tolerate any remarks that occurred during the show, but felt off air comments often constituted sexual harassment. Brian Krysz, station program director at the time, said the employee “had the type of personality to push things,” and was “reprimanded” a few times after complaints from coworkers. He said he knew things were worse, though, when Linehan came into his office in tears one morning. “She had a high threshold

for things like that,” he said. “It had to be bad for her to come to me.” Linehan said she and the rest of the on-air crew were in the studio, getting ready to go on the air when her alleged attacker put his hand on her chair, fingers curled to face up. Linehan said that she had to hop up onto the chair, and the man’s fingers penetrated her when she dropped down onto the seat.

The program director confirmed planned to bring Linehan’s Linehan’s account of events, complaint immediately to his supervisors, but was fired but asked not to be named.
Chris Fleming, a co-worker at Linehan’s first station, said Linehan had garnered a negative reputation. “I think there was a general sentiment that she was branded a troublemaker,” said Fleming, now the manager of a station in Indiana. Linehan said the change was a demotion, despite insistence from superiors that it was a lateral move. She only handled promotional activities, and had no work as a producer or on-air presence. Fleming and Krysz agreed that the outcome was common in the radio industry at the time. Linehan’s attacker had a much larger on-air presence, and was under contract, and Krysz said executives often opted to push out less publicly known, and at-will, employees to protect those seen more vital to success. “I’ve seen it where ratings do make a difference, where

Linehan said she was only at the new station for a few months when, while looking for promotional materials, she found a file labeled with her name. Inside the file was a list of rumors that, she said, were “really outrageous,” untrue, and intended to discredit her. She took the file and notified her program manager, who scheduled a meeting the next day. At that meeting, a group of company lawyers fired her for stealing company property. “I couldn’t believe it,” she said. “I sat there like ‘you people are supposed to be, not just protecting me, but in protecting me, you should See Linehan, A15

Obituary Joyce (Holloway) Levis MIDDLETOWN — Dear beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother Joyce Ruth Levis, 92, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Dec. 5, 2017 after a brief illness. She was predeceased by her husband Leroy. Born in Woodgreen Edmonton England on Oct. 10, 1925 to Ruth (Leader) and Ernest Holloway. Joyce grew up in the London, England area. During the battle of Britain, her parents sent her and her sister Phyllis to live with her uncle in the country. Being independent, she returned home and attended school that was held in the subways to avoid the bombings during the blitz. She recalled that when going to school, often buildings that were there one day would be piles of rubble the next. When Joyce completed school, she worked for the Canadian Army as well as several other companies in London. Joyce met Leroy Levis after the war and they were married in 1950. She then immigrated to the United States in 1951, coming over on the Queen Elizabeth. They settled in Middletown, later moving to Middlefield. Joyce was a member of the First United Methodist Church for over 65 years. She greatly en-
joyed time with her grandchildren, teaching them how to knit, cross stitch, and hook rugs, and sharing recipes and spending time with her family at celebrations. She is survived by her daughter, Ruth and husband Tom Tedesco; and son David Levis and his wife, Terry; granddaughters Joyce, Sarah and Emily Levis; granddaughter, Lisa and husband, Steve Wampold; grandson, Tommy and wife, Becky Tedesco; granddaughter, Amy Tedesco; grandson, Joseph and his wife, Jenilee Tedesco; seven great-grandchildren, Daphne and Molly Wampold, Makenna and Addison Tedesco, Juliana, Josie and Joey Tedesco; sister, Phyllis White; niece, Carol and her husband, Stuart Sharp and their family in England. The family would like to express a special thank you to Ann on the third floor at Wadsworth Glen who gave so much care and compassion for Joyce during a recent stay. Calling hours will be Monday, Dec. 11, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the South Congregational Church, 9 Pleasant St., Middletown, followed immediately at 11 a.m. by a Methodist funeral service. Interment will follow in Middlefield Cemetery in Middlefield. To share memories or send condolences to the family, please visit www.doolittlefuneralservice.com.

IT’S ALL GOOD
I’m such a heel By Diana Carr Special to Town Times
Well, it’s finally happened. I always knew it would, but the thought was unbearable, so I pushed it away. My Swedish man shoes are headed for a not-so-veryearly demise. Really, I should have no complaints. They have given much of themselves over the years, and have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I call them my Swedish man shoes because I bought them in the men’s department of a shoe store in Sweden. This long-standing love affair (well, as much as I can love any shoes) with them began a good number of

My advice, start early and don’t rush. Get there safely. You don’t want to be injured in an auto accident when it makes a better story to do it skiing. The secrete to driving in snow is to be smooth. Don’t make sudden changes or stops. Remember the car goes better than it stops on a snow covered road. Look way ahead and anticipate having to slow or turn. Be safe and enjoy the new fallen snow.

was being called a lesbian, for example. The source also said Linehan had a difficult time getting a new job after she was fired. Linehan said she was only able to get a job after a woman contacted her and informed her of the rumors. The woman, a general manager at the time but who didn’t respond to a request for comment, said women needed to stick together and hired Linehan, according to Linehan.
publicly now because of some of the rhetoric toward others alleging sexual misconduct. Some of the critics have questioned victims who don’t immediately report their complaints — Geraldo Rivera, of Fox News, even recently suggested on Twitter a five-year time limit. Linehan said the fact that her career was destroyed shows fears of destroyed careers aren’t just hyperbole.
Linehan said the rumors continued to follow her and made her job difficult, though, and she left for New York after a year. She also shifted careers and became a concert promoter.
It has also taken her two decades to fully come to terms with what happened to her — for one thing, talking about the incident is still emotionally upsetting, even as she said she has accepted it as part of her life.
Linehan has told friends and family and has shared some details on social media, but she is speaking in detail

Linehan said the realization happened while talking with Cheshire Police Chief Neil Dryfe about a series of incidents involving the same suspect accused of groping multiple women. She said she was saying how residents characterized the incidents as mere pats on the buttocks, when Dryfe said the allegations constituted sexual assault.

Letter to the Editor Murphy disappoints To the editor: I'm disappointed with my Senate representative, Chris Murphy. Sen. Murphy is opposed to Concealed Carry Reciprocity. I'm not even a gun owner but I support this bill and I think our senator should also. He should support Concealed Carry Reciprocity because it is his only choice as one who has sworn an oath to the Constitution and has
committed to represent our Constitutional rights. Sen. Murphy, like Gov. Malloy and Sen. Blumenthal, has assumed a role as social activist and attached himself to an ideology instead of doing his job. You can argue the issue of gun control all day, but in the end, Sen. Murphy's job is to protect our Constitutional rights and he is literally fighting against those. Carolyn Salzano Middlefield
