That 3.5-mill levy was intended to get the district through the 2013- 2014 school year. Griffith said during the Loveland State of Schools event that it was always in- tended that another levy would be needed.

When told about Mur-ray’s expense reports andgym contract by the Com-munity Press, Fronk saidhe would research it.

“Some things havecome up, andwe are goingto be doing a complete au-dit of our fitness pro-gram,” he said the nextday.

Fronk said employeesare required to turn in aprintout from their gymwhich shows when theyworked out.

Employees are not re-quired to document howlong theyworkout, he con-firmed.

A closer look at Mur-ray’s documentation re-veal he checked in at theMiami Athletic Club threetimes Nov. 30, 2012 — thelast day of the month.

Murray checked intwice within one hour at1:06 p.m. and 1:46 p.m.Then, he checked in againat 6:49 p.m.

Those three check-insgave Murray the requiredeight gym trips he neededto be fully reimbursed forthe month.

Not all of the documen-tation provided by thetownship shows check-intimes, and employee con-tracts with their gymswere given in only twocases—MurrayandBrentHiggins, another policeemployee.

Higgins signed a 27-month contract with Mi-ami Athletic Club for$531.44.

He was reimbursed$300 for 15 months ofworkouts, from Septem-ber 2012 to November2013.ButHigginspaid lessthan that — $295.24, ac-cording to his contract.

He said township staffcalled all the gyms whereemployees work out, andcompared their rates withthe reimbursements fromexpense reports.

There were some dif-ferences, but Fronk“drilled down on the dis-crepancies,” saying theylikely had to do with spe-cials and other deals gymswere offering.

Fronk said he plannedto submit a few “tweaks”to theprogramat the trust-

When knowledge of thereimbursements becamepublic, township officialsvigorously defended itsprogram and employees.

Township trustees alsomoved theirmonthlyworksessions into a differentroomandwill now televisethem.

Themovewasmadebe-cause of the article “Tax-payer’s on hook for em-ployee workouts,” pub-lished in the Dec. 25 Mil-ford-Miami Advertiser,which detailed the Dec. 9discussion of the reim-bursement program.

Athletic Club, obtained bythe Community Pressthrough a public recordsrequest.

Murraypaid$319.50fora one-year membershipJuly23, 2012.Hewasreim-bursed by the township$390fromJuly2012 toJuly2013 for working out.

Trustee Mary MakleyWolff broughtup the reim-bursements at the town-ship’s budget meetingDec. 9.

She asked how employ-ees were reimbursedwhen different facilitiescharge different rates.

Fronk said employeescan be reimbursed amaxi-mum of $30 a month byworking out eight times.

When Recreation Di-rector Krystin Thibodeaumentioned employeescould make a $20-a-month

profit off the program bygoing to Planet Fitness,whichcharges$10amonthfor membership, Wolfftook exception.

“I’m not going to sup-port programs where weare generous enough togive people things andhave them take advantageof them,” Wolff said.

Police Chief Sue Mad-sen assured trustees at thebudget meeting that pa-perwork provided by em-ployees ensures the pro-gram is not abused.

Fronk told Wolff hisstaff would look into it andreport back to trustees at afuture work session.

Trustee Ken Tracy saidtrustees asked for an auditafter it “was brought toour attention that an em-ployee may have misusedthe program.”

Where are the worstroads and potholes in thearea? You told us:

“Once again I droveover the bypass west-bound to my home inMil-ford/MiamiTownship thismorning only to be forcedinto the same pothole.The bypass is so terribleand theholesareunavoid-able at higher speedswhich are used and de-signed to be used on thebypass. I thought thismorning that my tirewould surely fly off.Thank goodness thatthere was no ice today.

“I am frustrated anddiscouraged about thecity’s use of my tax dol-lars. I am a widowed sin-gle mom and maintain anice home here in the taxdistrict. If I do not main-tain my home there is apenalty for that from thecity. When I consider thecondition of the roads,perhaps the city shouldfacepenalties thesameasresidents. If the bypass isto remain the way it isthen perhaps the citymight want to considerreimbursing residentsfor the cost of tires, balljoints, balancing, align-ments and the like. Mycar is currently in need ofall those items.

“Is there anyway I canuse someof the $3,000 taxI pay per year to Milford/Miami Township in amore effective way suchas maintenance of my ve-hicle since the money Icontributed last year andprior have not madeenough impact to im-prove the bypass?”

– Melissa Kichler“The stretch of Mc-

Henry Avenue in EastWestwood, between Hen-rianne Court and Balti-more Avenue is prettymuch just one big pot-hole.”

– John R. Sheldon“I live on West Gal-

braith Road between theintersection on ColerainAvenue andCheviotRoadand this section has be-come horrible for its con-dition. Due to previoussewer lineworkyearsagoand continued subse-

quent ‘small jobs’ wherethe road pavement had tobe dug up, it is a road ofmany ‘patches’ that justcrumble. Anyone whodrives on this section on aregular basis can be easi-ly spotted as they drivenot in the designated lanebut crossed over the cen-ter yellow line into themiddle turn lane a little totry to preserve their car’salignment! Help!”

– Lisa JohnsonOn Jan. 20: “Galbraith

Road between CheviotRoad and Colerain Ave-nue. Eastbound has a pot-hole big enough to swal-low my Honda Prelude.Lost one tire already.”

On Jan. 22: “Thanks!Just drove that section ofGalbraith Road and it’sbeen patched.”

– Matthew Tietsort“Covedale Road from

Foley to Sydney needs re-placed. It’s terrible andhas been for three years.”

– Tim Kessling“As a long-time resi-

dent of Monfort Heights,I travel Westwood North-ern Boulevard quite fre-quently. That is, I used to.For several years, now,this thoroughfare hasbeen in atrocious condi-tion due to neglect. Goingwest, starting from theCheviot sign located rightbefore Cheviot UnitedMethodist Church, all theway to the Green Town-shipsigntoHarrisonAve-nue, this thoroughfare isin atrocious condition.And it hasbeen so for sev-eral years. Why is it, thatmy no-outlet street wasgraced, at considerableexpense, with ‘rehabili-tated’ curbs this year,while Westwood North-ern continues to be ne-glected? How are pro-jects prioritized by bothCheviot and Green Town-ship? It can’t be lack offunding, otherwise Iwould not have such nicecurbs.”

LOVELAND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL FIFTH-GRADE HONOR ROLL

Mount Notre Dame studentswere given a unique opportuni-ty to perform surgical tech-niques on cadaver legs throughthe assistance of Beacon Ortho-paedics.

More than 100 students en-rolled in anatomy and physiolo-gy and AP biology classes at-tended a presentation by Bea-con physicians. The lecture fo-cused on the structures of theknee joint, common knee inju-ries, and surgeries and tech-niques used to help those withknee issues. The followingweek, 12 of those students visit-ed the Beacon Orthopaedic Re-search and Education Founda-tion LearningCenter and Lab tocomplete a cadaver dissectionof the knee.

Those selected to scrub inwere seniors: Kristi Duncan(Milford), Cara Schuppe (Lako-ta), Jordan Lamb (Cincinnati),Emily Borgemenke (Mason),Amy Dean (Lakota), Sara Voss(Milford), Ashley Reinert(Princeton), and juniors: KellyHiggins (Sycamore), Anna Lu-cas (Milford), Maggie Lair (La-kota), Ali Staun (Madeira) andMeredith Shaffer (Little Mi-ami).

MND offers five classes ofanatomy & physiology, an elec-tive course taught by JenniferGlass. Glass is the key contactfor MND in building an educa-

tional partnership with Beacon.In order to bring this experi-ence to the students at MND,Glass attended a summer train-ing session. As part of the expe-rience, fellow MND scienceteacher, Sister Ruth Beding-haus was able to join the stu-dents in the learning activity.

Though the partnership, thestudents were educated on theanatomy of the human kneewith a sports medicine empha-sis.This labgaveMNDstudents

theopportunity toexplore theseinjuries and the ability to actu-ally seeandfeel ananteriorcru-ciate ligament, a ligament thatfemale athletes are four to sixtimes more likely to tear thantheir male counterparts.

The lab portion included ananterior dissection, posteriordissection and arthroscopic ex-ploration of the knee joint. Fol-lowing the lab, the students par-ticipated in a question-and-an-swer session with several Bea-

con professionals to discuss themany career paths in health-care.

These careers included or-thopaedic surgeon, physicaltherapist, athletic trainer, sur-gery nurse and a healthcare ad-ministrator.

“We are excited to partnerwith Beacon Orthopaedics inproviding extraordinary aca-demic opportunities for MNDstudents. MND is keenly awareof the importance of STEM-

based (science, technology, en-gineering and mathematics)educational experiences. I con-tinue to be impressed with theintegration of real-world activ-ities that support student learn-ing and propel MND studentsinto a multitude of careerpaths,” said Karen Day, MND’sdean of academic development.

MND students will partici-pate in the shoulder portion ofthe program in the spring.

LOVELAND—Thebest and theworst thing about the LovelandHigh School bowling team is theEastern Cincinnati Conference.

On the upside, the school isnear their home venue of Cross-gate Lanes and road “houses”like Eastgate Lanes and CherryGrove Lanes. The downside isthe Tigers must compete yearlywith the powerhouse just a fewexits east off of Interstate 275 inGlen Este.

A year ago, the Lovelandboys shared the inaugural ECCtitle with the Trojans. This sea-son, coach Jennifer Brannock’ssquad has struggled with consis-tency.

“It’s a tough league andwe’vebeen doing OK,” Brannock said.“Weactually endedup in thewin-ner’s bracket in the league tour-nament and bumped Glen Esteout, which everyone was excitedabout. Glen Este went to the los-er’s bracket and we went to thewinner’s bracket, but we endedup getting bumped.”

Loveland finished fourth, buttookasmallvictoryfrom“aggra-vating” their rivals in UnionTownship.

Though the ECC is competi-

tive, none of the matches aremean-spirited asmost that roll inthe bowling community knowone another. Glen Este wins withdepth, with six bowlers amongthe league’s best 12.

Loveland has two seniorsleading the way in 2014.

“Danny (Tringelof) and Will(Kern) are in the top 10,” Bran-nock said.

Also in theTiger lineup is sen-ior Jon Simms, junior MichaelViox, junior Alex Myers, juniorDanny Wilson, sophomore Mi-chael Howell and freshman Aar-on Autin.

“It’s kind of a young team,”Brannock said. “Next year willdefinitely be another buildingyear.”

BradWalker’sLovelandgirlsfinished second to Glen Este lastyear and are in a similar positionthis season. They did have a suc-cessful holiday trip on Dec. 27.

“Wewere second in theBryanBear Classic over Christmas andKassie Naughton made the all-tournament team,” Walker said.“We finished third in the ECCtournament.”

Junior Naughton and sopho-more Taylar Hayden are thirdand fourth in the league behindGlen Este’s dominating dynamicduo of Leslie Campbell and Ha-

ley Vogelgesang. Senior AshleyWheeler is also a top 10 leaguebowler for Loveland. “I’ve gotthree starters and four that arelearning,” Walker said. “AshleyWheeler’s really come around.They’re all at 178, 171 and 163.They’re doing phenomenal. I’mvery proud of them.”

Minus Glen Este, the Lady Ti-gers would be dueling with Mil-ford. Unfortunately, Glen Este isheads and pins above everyone

else with six bowlers in theleague’s top 10. “They won itright away,” Walker said.“There’s no stopping them. Ireally wish them the best in thestate tournament because that’swhere they really should be.”

Loveland wraps up the regu-lar season on the road againstMountHealthy Feb. 5 andHarri-son Feb. 6 before taking part inthe Crossgate House ChallengeFeb. 9.

SYMMES TWP.—Good, old-fashioned hard work. Askedthe key to her scoring suc-cess, Cincinnati Hills Chris-tian Academy senior Maris-sa Koob said the formulawasn’t difficult to find. Do-ing the actual work, though,is another story.

“I spent a lot of time in thegym,” she said. “I playedAAU all summer, just work-ing on my shot, trying to getbetter. I love to score. I justlike to take it strong to thehole and I try to get a goodlook.”

Which she usually shedoes. More than a gunner,Koob is an efficient scorer.She leads the Miami ValleyConferenceat 23.8pointspergame, including a 42-pointoutburst in an 88-23win overClark Montessori Jan. 22,when she was 16-for-24 fromthe field and aperfect 9-for-9from the free-throw line.

“She’s an incredible driv-er and she has a good jumpshot,” CHCA head coachRonnie Grandison said.“She’s very explosive andshe’s very smart. She gets tothe foul line a lot – she’sstrong and she can finish -and that’s where she gets alot of easy points. If you’dhave seenMarissa two yearsago, you would not think

As I approach my secondmonth as mayor of Loveland,I want to thank the votersfor electing me, as well asmy colleagues on city coun-cil and city staff for theirsupport and the confidencethey have placed in me.

I have enjoyed the cere-monial mayoral duties in-cluding officiating at pa-rades and ribbon cuttings,performing weddings, andpresenting the key to thecity to the Loveland Tigersfor the state football cham-pionship.

I look forward to workingwith council and the commu-nity to address important

issues facingour city, in-cluding eco-nomic devel-opment, thebudget andmaintenanceof basic cityservices.Althoughthings aregoing well forour city, over

the next year we will have tomake some tough decisions.For example, in May we willask voters to approve a levyto continue the city’s con-tract with the LovelandSymmes Fire Department

and to maintain our excel-lent fire and paramedic ser-vices.

On Jan.18, city counciland staff met for a full daystrategy session led by in-terim city Manager DaveDuckworth. We identifiedthe major opportunities andchallenges facing the cityand initiated discussions toaddress these challengesand capitalize on our oppor-tunities.

Another task of the mayoris to appoint members to thevarious committees of coun-cil. I want to thank thosewho agreed to continue serv-ing, as well as the new volun-

teers who are stepping up toserve the city. I will soon beappointing a Public Rela-tions and CommunicationsCommittee. There are somany positive things goingon in Loveland, and it is im-portant that we tell our storyto our residents and busi-nesses as well as the generalpublic.

“I am always worried aboutterrorist attacks. It is a shamethat an event like the Olympicscan’t go on without this fear.

NEXT QUESTIONPresident Obama has said ad-dressing income inequality willbe the focal point of his agendafor the rest of his term. Whatcan be done to address incomeinequality?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Chatroom inthe subject line.

Time for impeachmentPlenty of folks in our area

are asking “why no one isfighting the corruption andpower grab in D.C.,” and whyaren’t people calling for im-peachment and indictments”

Well we are. But apparentlywe are not on the same wave-length. Now that your presi-dent, who has an Iranian opera-tive in the White House, isremoving your top militarycommanders by the dozens andremoving the people who havethe keys to your nuclear de-fense force by the dozens, it isa time to talk seriously aboutdoing something.

The tea party is and alwayshas been right about the pro-gressive party, which shouldnot be called the democratparty anymore, out of honorfor our past relatives who wereDemocrats before the partybecame communists. I amfighting endorsing new peoplefrom the ground up to replacethe ones in office who aren’tfighting for us. You will needto come in May and vote theminto office, and don’t tell me itwon’t do any good to vote.

Don’t leave me now, as weare only halfway successful inthis marathon. I will put thebest possible constitutional-type people in office.

We need more Bible-believ-ing, gun-toting, Freedom lov-ing Americans to come for-ward and volunteer. Do yourduty and vote for them untilwe get it all straightened out.The NRA, The Heritage, Free-domworks and other greatgroups will give you all thehelp you need to be a greatconservative politician foryour time in office.

Go to sleep tonight knowingthat impeachment and prose-cutions are being talked, butwe need to replace a few folksin the Senate and House tomake that happen, that is yourjob. Write U.S. Rep. John Boeh-ner and tell him to start im-peachment proceedings or getout of the way.

LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR

A trial run on the effectsof barging fracking wastematerial down the OhioRiver was provided as300,000 people in West Vir-ginia were left without pub-lic water after a spill oftoxic chemicals.

President Obama de-clared an emergency afterthe chemicals leaked intothe river near Charleston.Residents were told in ninecounties to avoid consumingor using public water sup-plies from a spill near theElk River. Residents werealso told to avoid washingclothes, bathing and otherpersonal uses.

One effect was to createa run on bottled water sup-plies complete with shovingmatches and calls to 911.

Schools, res-taurants,stores andeven thestate capitalwere shutdown.

The chem-ical spilled,4-methylcy-clohexaminemethanol(MCJM) was

no doubt much more con-centrated than frackingwastes would be. But abarge load of fracking ma-terial would be substantial-ly larger in volume. Bottomline, commerce over a largearea has been shut down orcompromised as it would bein the case of a barge relat-ed accident.

It’s too early to analyzethe effects upon fish andwildlife, which may be con-siderable.

This incident serves toshow some flaws in ourcollective ability to dealwith chemical spills. Toolshave been developed to dealwith oil spills. Oil and waterdon’t mix. Oil floats on wa-ter making it relatively easyto contain and capture. Butsimilar tools to deal withchemicals do not exist.

There is also a need todevelop tools to deal withthe need to provide freshwater over a large area fora long time. Water is cur-rently being trucked in foremergency needs. Water forroutine uses will be difficultand expensive to provide.

Another problem withthe plan to use barges forhauling fracking wastes onthe river is that the CoastGuard has identified thatmany locks on the river arein poor repair and need tobe fixed or replaced.

The timing for this eventis disastrous for the peopledirectly affected. For thoseof us downstream residentsit may serve to providepause to contemplate thelong-term effects of allow-ing gigantic barges to haultoxic fracking waste on theriver.

Alan Sanders is a resident of Love-land Park.

Trial run on barging toxic waste

AlanSandersCOMMUNITYPRESS GUESTCOLUMNIST

The Supreme Court hasbeen hearing a case con-cerning President Obama’simproper – and as a lowercourt ruled, unconstitu-tional – appointment ofmembers to the NationalLabor Relations Board.

These appointments arejust one example of theprecarious drift that ourgovernment is taking – mov-ing away from the rule oflaw and toward governingby executive decree.

In a manner that I feelwould sadden our foundingfathers, President Obama’sadministration has engagedin contemptible abuse ofour constitutional system.We see draconian regula-tions from bureaucrats thathave the power of law with-out representation. Work-seeking requirements writ-ten in the law have beeneliminated from welfareprograms without any voteto change the law. Presi-dential orders have beengiven to ignore existingimmigration laws.

Requirements under theAffordable Care Act (aka

the ACA, orObamacare)have beenwaived forspecial in-terestgroups. Ma-nipulation ofthe healthcare law hasbeen themost blatantexample of

executive abuses. ThePresident has redrafted,reinterpreted, and delayedlarge portions of the law,without a single vote by thelawmaking branch of thefederal government: theUnited States Congress.

The Constitution gives apresident the authority tosign or veto legislationpassed by Congress, andtasks him to “faithfully exe-cute” and enforce the law. Apresident cannot write,pass, or rewrite legislation.Our nation’s laws are notoptions on a menu, wherepoliticians and presidentscan pick and choose whatwill be enforced and whatwill be ignored.

Defenders of the ACAare quick to say, “It’s thelaw, upheld by the SupremeCourt,” yet they are silentabout the administration notactually adhering to the law.Don’t get me wrong. I sup-port repealing the ACA andreplacing it with patient-centered, free market solu-tions that increase access tocare, lower costs, and helpand protect those with pre-existing conditions. Just oneexample is the AmericanHealth Care Reform Act,currently cosponsored by amajority of Republicans.

Off-the-cuff changes anddelays to the ACA, decidedby the president withoutproper legislative authority,confuse and confoundAmerican individuals andbusinesses alike. More so,these actions by the admini-stration trample the Consti-tution and upend the vitalbalance of power the fram-ers intended.

We’re taking action in theHouse. Legislation that Ihave cosponsored seeks tostop these abuses; the StopThis Overreaching Presi-

dency Resolution (H.Res.442) seeks a civil injunctionas the rampant abuses byPresident Obama are chal-lenged in the courts.

President Obama hassaid, “We’re going to doeverything we can, wher-ever we can, with or withoutCongress.” Members ofCongress were elected torepresent “We the People”as well. We were formed asa nation of laws – laws craft-ed by representatives of thepeople.

America has achievedgreat things by adhering tothe principles of our legalframework. The funda-mental genius of the Amer-ican Republic came fromthe simple, yet absolute,affirmation that we as anation operate by rule oflaw, law crafted by themany, not the one.

Classic shrimpcocktail with twosauces

For Melanie, whowanted to serve shrimpfor her Super Bowl par-ty. “I want to make theshrimp cocktail myselfinstead of buying it. Doyou have any tips forcooking the shrimp andfor an easy sauce?” sheasked.

Shrimp

2 dozen raw shrimp,deveined with tails on(see tip from Rita’skitchen)

8 quarts water1 lemon, cut in half2 garlic cloves, smashed3 tablespoons Old Bayseasoning

2 teaspoons salt

Bring water and sea-sonings to a boil. Addshrimp and when thewater returns to a boil,the shrimp should bedone. They will bebright. Have a bowl ofice water ready to putthe shrimp in afterdraining to cool themoff. As soon as they’recool, remove fromwaterand refrigerate whilemaking sauce.

Cocktail sauceMix together:

1⁄2 cup chili sauce3⁄4 to 1 cup catsup1⁄2 teaspoon garlic, mincedHorseradish to tasteWorcestershire, Tabascoand lemon to taste

Even easier: Just mixchili sauce and catsup totaste

Horseradish sauceNo real recipe here

but I stir grated horse-radish into whippedcream. Or just buyhorseradish sauce anduse that. Sometimes Iput a squeeze of limeinto the sauce.

Tip from Rita’skitchen

If you buy frozenshrimp, thaw in ice wa-ter in frig. and drain.

Most shrimp comealready deveined. Ifyou’re squeamish aboutit, ask to have themdeveined before youpurchase.

1 cup shredded Romano or

Parmesan cheese1 pound large freshjalapeño peppers, halvedlengthwise and seeded

Preheat oven to 425degrees. Cook sausageand drain. Transfer tobowl and mix withcheeses. Spoon mixtureinto each pepper halfand arrange in singlelayer in sprayed bakingpan. Bake 20 minutes oruntil bubbly and lightlygolden.

Carol’s vegetariangoetta

When I asked forreaders to share goettarecipes, one of the first Ireceived was from read-er Julie B. Julie sharesher mom’s vegetariangoetta recipe. Here’swhat Julie says: “I haveto share mymom’s vege-tarian goetta recipe. Shehas been making tradi-tional slow cooker goettafor years and then de-cided she needed anoption for her manyvegetarian grandchil-dren. It is delicious,spicy and flavorful! Ihope you decide to shareit.” Well, Julie, this doeslook so good and, yes,I’m happy to share yourMom’s vegetarian goet-ta.

1⁄4 cup olive oil1medium chopped onion5 cloves minced garlic15 ounce can black beans,drained

2 teaspoons dried thyme1-2 teaspoons cumin (Julie

likes 2)1⁄2 teaspoon red pepperflakes

News that both Targetand NiemanMarcusstores are the latest tohave had their computershacked has made a lotconsumers nervous – and

rightly so.The bigthing to beconcernedabout is theuse of debitcards atthese re-tailers.

Creditcardchargesare sent to

you in statements eachmonth allowing you toreview them before youpay. Debit card chargescome right out of yourbank account, so if some-one steals your debit cardinformation they canempty all the money fromyour account before youbecome aware. Then,you’ve got to notify yourbank and try to get yourmoney back, which cantake several days. In themeantime, you could beleft unable to pay yourbills. So, if you believeyou’re affected by this, Irecommend you cancelyour debit card and get anew number.

Target is now offeringaffected customers oneyear free credit monitor-ing, but emails from theretailer are creating prob-lems of their own. Onearea woman receivedwhat appears to be a le-gitimate email from Tar-get. It contains links soshe can sign up for thecredit monitoring. How-ever, she tells me she’snever given Target heremail address so she hasserious questions aboutthe email’s authenticity.

I agree, there are realquestions about that emailso I suggested she notclick on any of the en-

closed links. Rather, shecan go directly to Target’swebsite and get the in-formation about how andwhere to sign up.

Target also says shop-per’s personal informa-tion appears to have beenstolen and that meansthere could be attempts atidentity theft. That’s whycredit monitoring is soimportant. You can alsosign up for free creditmonitoring with CreditKarma. It also providesyour credit report, in-cluding credit score, forfree. You can sign up atwww.creditkarma.com.

If your personal in-formation has been stolen,and thieves open chargeaccounts in your name,they can be very difficultto resolve. The best thingto do is contact your stateattorney general. In Ohio,the attorney general setup a special Identity Theftunit that handled 578 suchcases in 2013.

Incidentally, the num-ber of phony emails outthere appears to get larg-er by the week. One of thenewest to watch out forappears to come fromyour utility company. Itclaims you haven’t paidyour bill and demandsimmediate payment. Atthe top of the bill are theletters PG&E, not DukeEnergy

These emails are beingsent all over the countryprompting Pacific Gasand Electric to say it isinvestigating. If you getone of these emails justdelete it without clickingon any links or attach-ments.
