Sexual propositions, an annoying guitar and alcohol in the oﬃ ce. This is not your average public courtroom tale. The state investigated Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry who now faces nine charges that accuse her of using sex, campaign contributions and retaliation as tools in her judgeship, according to documents released by the state Wednesday, Dec. 4. The Enquirer ﬁ rst reported the judge was at the center of an investigation by Kentucky Judicial Conduct Commission, the only entity in the state that can punish a sitting judge. Gentry denied almost all charges, according to the Notice of Formal Proceedings and Charges. She admitted there was one inappropriate joke she received and did not reply to on Snapchat and that she appointed “acquaintances” to family court positions that handled custody cases. So, what exactly happened? What happens next? Here’s what you need to know:

Who’s who: ❚ Stephen Penrose - Former Bromley Christian Church pastor the judge hired and had an aﬀ air with, according to the charges. ❚ Katherine Schulz - Attorney who the judge hoped would join her in a threesome with Penrose, according to the charges. ❚ Laura Aubrey - The judge’s secretary. Gentry and Penrose engaged in sexual activities with her at work, according to the charges. ❚ Delana Sanders - Attorney who was appointed to the panel after she and her husband, Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders, donated thousands to the judge’s reelection campaign. ❚ Mike Hummel - Attorney who claimed he was removed from the panel after not donating the maximum amount to the judge’s reelection campaign. ❚ Kelly Blevins - School liaison oﬃ cer who supported the judge’s opponent in the 2018 election. ❚ Dawn Gentry - One of two Family Court judges in Kenton County. She earns approximately $136,900 a year deciding the fate of Northern Kentucky

Covington corner project to oﬀ er hotel, bourbon experience Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The state alleged the judge appointed attorney Delana Sanders to the panel in exchange for her husband Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders’ support. The Sanders donated quadruple the amount Mike Hummel donated to Gentry’s campaign. Hummel was removed from the panel shortly after the election, he told The Enquirer. The Sanders donated a combined total of $3,450. Hummel donated $750, according to public campaign ﬁ nance

A historic corner in Covington is going to look a bit diff erent. The buildings on the corner of Madison Avenue and East Pike Street have been vacant since 2015. Recently, the city, Salyers Group and vR Group announced the 72,000 square foot space will be revitalized through a $22.5 million mixed development project. Workers will break ground in January. Over 18 months they will transform the space often called Covington's most visible corner. It will be home to a bourbon distillery experience, 10,000 feet of offi ce space and an expansion of Hotel Covington, according to a press release from Salyers Group. Salyers Group also created Hotel Covington. The upper fl oors of the space will be converted into 60 luxury suites "as a complement" to Hotel Covington, according to the release. The suites, themed after the history of the YMCA that once occupied the building, will have tall ceilings and private terraces with views of Covington. In October, the city of Covington bought the buildings at 614 Madison Ave. and 19 E. Pike St. for about $1.7 million from the Kentucky Community & Technical College System, which includes Gateway Community & Technical College. The city sold it to Salyers Group and vR Group for the same price, said Guy van Rooyen, president of the Salyers Group, at a recent press conference. Guy van Rooyen estimated the project will create 100 jobs. That includes the staff needed to run the building, the staff for its commercial laundromat, the distillery experience and the businesses that investors hope will occupy the offi ce space. The agreement also made Gateway the primary partner for any training the companies might need, according to a press release from the city. “We’ve labored quietly for three years to create a new future for this important site, and we’re thrilled to partner with a developer – the Salyers Group – that has a history of delivering on big projects in Covington,” Mayor Joe Meyer said in a press release. “For too long this corner has been all but vacant, but soon it will be attracting tourism, over 100 jobs, and

families’ most sensitive issues in court, including adoption, custody, neglect and abuse, child support, divorce, domestic violence and paternity cases.

Gentry’s chambers: Sex, robes and rock and roll The judge is accused of seeking to or having sex with people she employed and appointed to a panel designed to help abused children. There are three people connected to those claims. Katherine Schulz reportedly quit a panel the judge appointed her to after the judge ﬂ irted with her via Snapchat, pressured her to seduce the judge’s husband and asked her to join the judge and a former church pastor in Gentry a threesome. That former pastor is Stephen Penrose, who the judge hired as her case specialist after she reportedly asked the former specialist, Meredith Smith, to resign. Then, Gentry gave Penrose a salary $10,000 more than Smith’s, according to payroll records The Enquirer obtained through a Kentucky Open Records Act Request. “You hired Stephen Penrose because you were engaged in a personal relationship with him, not on the basis of merit,” investigators wrote. Penrose and Gentry were in a band

together, too, called South of Cincy. Penrose played guitar and Gentry was the bassist. The band’s Facebook page was taken down Wednesday evening after reports of the investigation surfaced. State investigators claimed Gentry and Penrose had a personal sexual relationship. Gentry also “improperly delegated judicial functions,” to Penrose, according to the charges. The investigation also claimed that the two engaged in sexual activities in a courthouse oﬃ ce during work hours with Gentry’s secretary, Laura Aubrey. Gentry also approved inaccurate time sheets for Penrose and Aubrey, according to the charges.

Gene Clabes, who owned and edited NKY newspapers, dead at age 74 (Henderson, Ky.) Gleaner

Community journalist, editor, horseman and entrepreneur Gene Clabes has died at age 74, according to the Northern Kentucky Tribune. Clabes died Friday, Nov. 29, after suffering from heart and kidney disease. Clabes, a founder of the Tribune and a graduate of the University of Kentucky School of Journalism, is survived by his wife of 54 years, Judith Clabes. She is editor and publisher of the Tribune, and a former editor of the Kentucky Post and a former Cincinnati-based E.W. Scripps Co. executive. Clabes, a native of Henderson, Kentucky, lived in Edgewood. According to a story in the Tribune, “Gene and Judy Clabes married as col-

lege students at UK and built a reputation as distinguished journalists. Gene purchased the Ludlow Enterprise from Gus Sheehan in the 80s and went on to purchase the Recorder Newspapers from the Dear Co.” Clabes “went on to build the Recorders in communities” across Northern Kentucky. The papers were subsequently sold to the Community Newspapers of Cincinnati. Community Newspapers was sold in 2004 to The Enquirer. Clabes was president of the Florence Rotary, president of the Kentucky Press Association, equine director for the Kentucky Equine Education Project, and a member of the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame and outstanding graduate of the UK School of Journalism.

He was also a thoroughbred horse breeder and trainer on his farm in Bourbon County for many years – and was a life-long lover of horses and well as a rider who competed in quarter horse shows in his younger years. “Gene was my hero,” said his wife, Judy. “He still is my hero and my inspiration. He was a wonderful husband and father to our two sons and a loving grandfather to our grandchildren. We have our fond memories to sustain us and his good humor, work ethic and kindness to guide us.” Other survivors include sons Joseph of Lexington and Jacob of Edgewood, and ﬁ ve grandchildren. Memorials can be made to the nonproﬁ t Northern Kentucky Tribune, 644 Braddock Court, Edgewood, KY 41017.

Kentucky judge could face rare impeachment Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

A Northern Kentucky judge could face impeachment in Frankfort - an extraordinarily rare occurrence. Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry remains in her $136,900 a year job hearing cases involving Northern Kentucky families’ most sensitive issues in court. Last week the state revealed its investigation into the Republican judge’s conduct; she faces nine misconduct charges for using sex, coercion and campaign connections as tools in her judgeship. Now, election oﬃ cials in Frankfort want accountability. Gentry denied all of the claims in her response to the state but impeachment could be an option, according to Kentucky Rep. Adam Koenig of Kenton County, because waiting for the judge’s disciplinary hearing would take too long. If it happens, she would be the ﬁ rst judge to be impeached in more than a century. Only four impeachments have ever occurred in the state’s history, according to a 1991 report on impeachment from the Legislative Research Commission.

Two were convicted by the Kentucky Senate. A surveyor in Bourbon County was impeached in 1803 for overcharging the county and failing to do to his job correctly. Then, in 1888, the state treasurer was impeached when he disappeared with $200,000, which was most of the state’s treasury. The other two were not convicted, one of which was a judge. In 1916 McCreary County Judge J.E. Williams was impeached by the House. In 1991, Agricultural Commissioner Ward “Butch” Burnette was impeached for falsifi ed timesheets. He resigned before the Senate could convict him. Judge Gentry did not return The Enquirer’s call for this article. “We’re examining our options in Frankfort,” Koenig told The Enquirer, adding he would ask the house staff attorney to research details of impeachment. He said some lawmakers in Frankfort think action needs to be taken before the judge’s misconduct hearing. That hearing should take place in two to three months under the Judicial Conduct Commission, the state entity that investigated and charged Gentry. But reprimands can also come from the Kentucky General Assembly. The Kentucky House of Representatives can begin the impeachment process for all civil offi cers, which are people who hold executive, legislative or judicial authority, according to the Kentucky Constitution. A trial would be held in the Kentucky Senate. “It’s all an abuse of power,” Koenig said as he pointed to the judge’s alleged sexual propositions, hiring the man she allegedly had an aff air with and leaving

the offi ce unattended, among other claims. “A disregard for the rule of law which is not what we’re looking for in a judge.” When he read the offi cial charges against the judge, he said the claims showed a “disregard for the rule of law,” and that her responses to the claims were “poor at best.” Newly elected Kenton County state rep. Republican Kim Banta said she believes the legislature should sit back and let the commission complete its due process. Democrat Buddy Wheatley, who also represents Kenton County, agreed the state should let the commission act fi rst. “When something like this happens with a person of such important judicial responsibility, it is concerning and it’s concerning to public offi cials in general,” he said. The power to reprimand, in Wheatley’s eyes, is not something for the legislature to tackle, he said. Instead, he told The Enquirer that he wants the Judicial Conduct Commission process to continue. “We certainly hope the allegations are fully vetted and we learn as much as we can about this before we make too rash of judgment,” Wheatley said. The Judicial Conduct Commission process doesn’t prevent the legislature from stepping in and starting its own investigation and impeachment, said state Rep. Republican Jason Nemes, who represents parts of Jeff erson and Oldham counties. Nemes also sits on the judiciary committee. If the “grave” allegations, as Nemes’ described them, are in fact true, then he would “certainly recommend that Judge Gentry be impeached.” If the allegations aren’t true, Nemes said the

people making the accusations should be held accountable as well. If the General Assembly did pursue an impeachment, Nemes said they would intend to ﬁ nish it by the end of the session in mid-April. If the Kentucky General Assembly pursues an impeachment, it would have a similar process as the national one President Trump faces. There would be: ❚ An investigation. ❚ Articles of impeachment would be sent to a committee ❚ That committee would make a recommendation to the Kentucky House of Representatives on how to move forward. ❚ The trial would happen in the Kentucky Senate where removal proceedings also happen. The Enquirer was unable to reach the other members of the Kenton County statehouse delegation: Republicans Kimberly Moser and Savannah Maddox, The Enquirer could not reach Kenton County GOP Chairman Greg Shumate and outgoing Gov. Matt Bevin. Kenton County Judge-Executive Kris Knochelmann declined to comment. Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report For America program.

Kenton County Sheriﬀ : Beware of retail email scam Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The Kenton County Sheriff 's Offi ce is urging residents to watch out for a potential email phishing scam where they are asked to purchase retail gift cards. Deputies were alerted Monday that a nearby county government agency's employees received emails from an outof-offi ce supervisor asking them to purchase retail gift cards. According to a press release from the sheriff 's offi ce, after the initial email exchange, employees were asked to scratch off the back of the cards to reveal their PIN codes. The scammer asked each person to send a picture of the PIN codes to a mobile number. Although the supervisor's name was correct in the email, the generic address from "earthlink.net" was suspicious. The employees contacted the supervisor directly to verify the scam attempt. "Purchasing retail credit cards and giving PIN codes is a fi rst clue it is a scam!" said Patrick Morgan, chief deputy at Kenton County Sheriff 's Offi ce in the release. The Sheriff 's Offi ce is warning residents in the area to not engage scam emails or callers. Deputies say to avoid giving out personal information, giving payment over the phone, or confi rming personal information. Morgan said most of the time, scammers are friendly, professional and convincing. "If a request from a supervisor, family member, neighbor or provider of service seems unusual — do not return the email or call the number provided. Contact the person or provider directly through your known contact numbers and verify the request," according to the Sheriff 's Offi ce.

SCHOOL NEWS NKU Construction Management ranks 11th nationally NKU’s Construction Management program is ranked among the top in the nation. We are the only Greater Cincinnati institution that is both ACCE- accredited and ranked for best value. More details below. Northern Kentucky University continues to be recognized as one of the top schools for developing business talent. The Haile/US Bank College of Business’ Construction Management program was recently ranked among the top in the nation by Best Value Schools. The free online resource for students looking for the right degree published its 50 Best Value Schools for Construction Management 2019, and NKU’s Bachelor of Science in Construction Management was ranked at 11. The program received the ranking for its degree popularity, net price and American Council for Construction Education accreditation. Best Value Schools stated in its review of NKU, “This aﬀ ordable construction management degree provides students with a well-rounded introduction to construction techniques, ﬁ nance and management principles, and more — but for less than half the price of many major universities and with no compromise in quality. NKU’s continuous ACCE-accreditation is all the evidence you need to prove that this CSM program maintains the highest standards of academic and curricular rigor.”

“This degree is unique to our region because we are the only one ranked for both value and ACCE accreditation,” said Dean Hassan HassabElnaby, Haile/ US Bank College of Business. The College of Business is accredited by AACSB-International, a distinction earned by fewer than 5 percent of business schools worldwide. The Construction Management program has twenty years of accredited though ACCE. NKU’s program covers technical aspects of project design and execution, in addition to management aspects that are required to successfully deliver a project on time, within budget and up to expectations.

NKU created a math prep summer program for STEM students entering their freshman year. A NSF grant allowed the College of Arts & Sciences to develop the program that shores up the math skills of incoming STEM majors. Registration begins soon for the summer program, and the press release below has more details. Northern Kentucky University announces a new National Science Foundation funded STEM Ready program to increase the number of successful STEM majors at NKU by strengthening students’ math skills during the summer before enrollment.

The STEM Ready Summer Bridge Program’s goal is to bolster students’ mathematical knowledge in preparation for their fi rst semester. Studies show the most signifi cant barrier to declaring a STEM major is mathematics preparation, and this disproportionately aff ects students from populations historically underrepresented in STEM fi elds. STEM Ready will provide incoming students with the preparation to more quickly begin courses within majors requiring mathematical expertise. Incoming fi rst-year students for the Fall 2020 semester will spend two weeks in the summer–either on campus or online–developing their math skills using the online learning platform ALEKS PPL (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces Placement, Preparation, and Learning). All the students in the program will engage with faculty and will continue to have support through the fi rst year with a STEM orientation course. The STEM Ready Summer Bridge Program inaugural off ering is scheduled for July 20 – August 1, 2020. The application will be available in January, and spots are limited to the fi rst 60 students registered. The STEM Ready Program involves the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Mathematics & Statistics, and Physics, Geology, & Engineering Technology in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as Computer Science in the College of Informatics. Atley Smedley, NKU

College acquired the bookstore and administrative oﬃ ces, located at 614 Madison Ave., in 2012. The former YMCA space, located at 19 E. Pike St., was acquired by Gateway in 2014 and has been vacant since 2015. Julia is the Northern Kentucky government reporter through the Report

2020 Jeﬀ erson Award:

Nominate a deserving local volunteer Peggy Kreimer Hodgson The Rotary Club of Cincinnati

“Greater Cincinnati has incredibly generous and creative people who are changing the world around them. We want to recognize them here at home and nationally.”

The Jeff erson Awards have been called the the Nobel Prizes for community service, and the next winner could be in Greater Cincinnati’s back yard, said Bill Shula, who coordinates the local nomination process for The Rotary Club of Cincinnati. Nominations are being accepted from the public from Dec. 6 through Jan. 17, 2020. Applications are available at www.cincinnati.com/jeff ersonawards. Shula chairs the Jeff erson Award Committee that will choose a local winner to compete for the national award. In the past 15 years, eight local winners have gone on to receive the national award, said Shula, of Bethel, Ohio. In 2019, Tim Arnold of Northside, who founded Lawn Life to give jobs and a second chance to at-risk young people, won the national award. Other recent national winners were Nancy Eigel-Miller of Mariemont, honored in 2018 for suicide prevention work, and Suzy DeYoung of Milford, honored in 2017, for creating a non-profit that enlists restaurant owners to help feed low income families. “Greater Cincinnati has incredibly generous and creative people who are changing the world around them,” said Shula. “We want to recognize them here at home and nationally. That’s why we’re asking the public to look at the people who make a diff erence and nominate them.” The Jeff erson Awards is a program of the national non-profi t Multiplying Good, which promotes community ser-

You might become a fan of fruit cakes Victorian Jewels (mini fruit cakes)

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

I’ve been getting requests for fruitcakes. Traditional, mini, fruitcakes that start with a spice cake mix, even “golden” (lighter texture and taste) fruitcakes. I have to admit this makes me smile. Now I’m not crazy about fruitcake, but do like a small piece. My husband, Frank, loves fruitcake. The kids are somewhere in between. Apparently readers like Maureen Grady, a Park Hills, Kentucky reader whose Mom came from England and every year would make fruitcakes, is like Frank. “She’d make marvelous Christmas fruit cakes, large, dark and rich, which she would pour bourbon or sherry over and wrap in cheesecloth.” Maureen and the other kids shelled black walnuts for the cakes around Thanksgiving. Now that’s a wonderful holiday memory. Here’s recipes for both little, and large, fruitcakes. If you’ve never made fruitcake, go ahead and try the mini ones. They’ve become a reader favorite. You might just become a fan. Check my website for the other fruitcakes mentioned.

Ingredients 1 1⁄ 2 cups diced mixed candied fruits 1 1⁄ 2cups raisins (light and dark, including currants or your choice) ⁄ 2 cup brandy or apple juice plus extra for brushing on

⁄ 4 cup packed brown sugar

⁄ 3 cup room temperature butter

1 large egg 1 cup flour ⁄ 2 teaspoon each: baking soda, salt and allspice

1 teaspoon cinnamon ⁄ 4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 cup chopped nuts Candied cherries for garnish Melted apple jelly for glaze

Fruit cakes and victorian jewels. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE ENQUIRER

Instructions Marinate fruits and raisins in brandy or juice at least 4 hours or overnight. That plumps them up. Drain if necessary.

Traditional fruitcake

⁄ 2 pound butter, room temperature

Sometimes I’ll vary the fruit mix and sub candied cherries for some of the mix. Save a few to put on top before baking. Ingredients

1 cup sugar 5 large eggs ⁄ 4 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons vanilla Instructions

4 cups chopped nuts 1 1⁄ 2 to 2 pounds diced mix candied fruits 1 3⁄ 4cups flour

These are so pretty and really delicious — just enough of a bite to savor that fruitcake craving. I like to marinate the fruits in brandy for a more authentic fruitcake taste. That’s optional, though.

Stir nuts and fruit with 1⁄ 4cup flour. (Keeps them from sinking.) Cream butter and sugar until fluffy,

add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix flour and baking powder and mix into butter mixture. Stir in vanilla, fruit and nuts. Spray 2 loaf pans. Pour batter into pans and put in cold oven.Turn oven on to 250 and bake for 2 hours. Check towards the end as baking times vary. Toothpick inserted in center will come out clean. Cool in pans. Store, covered, at room temperature.

Mix sugar, butter and egg until fairly fluffy. Whisk together flour, soda, salt and spices; stir in. Mix in nuts and fruits. Spoon into mini muffin tins lined with baking cups. Fill 3/4 full. Top each with cherry. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from tins, brush tops with extra brandy or juice while warm. Cool. Store in airtight container. Before serving, brush tops with jelly. Makes 4-5 dozen.

Allegations: Sex, campaign donations and armtwisting Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Dec. 3. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates. A state investigation into a Northern Kentucky judge is linked to complaints that accuse her of demanding sex and money in exchange for preferential treatment. Those who refused faced the “wrath” of the judge at the center of the complaints: Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry. One attorney reportedly quit after the judge fl irted with her via Snapchat, pressured her to seduce the judge’s husband and asked her to join the judge and a former church pastor in a threesome. That attorney’s boss said the entire fi rm experienced biased courtroom behavior from the judge after the attorney quit. Another attorney said his clients suff ered because he didn’t donate enough money to the judge’s political campaign. “This isn’t just little bulls--t that happens behind the scenes in every county,” Mike Hummel, an attorney who also used to work for Gentry, told The Enquirer. “This is someone abusing power to aff ect the lives of others.” The Enquirer called and emailed Gentry multiple times for comment, but she did not respond. She answered the phone once, and The Enquirer asked if she had received the multiple inquiries. She thanked The Enquirer for calling but said she had to “get to the bench” and quickly hung up.

Cases of abused children caught in the crossfi re The complaints, obtained by The Enquirer, show that an active investigation is being conducted by Kentucky’s Judicial Conduct Commission. The commission is the only group in the state that can punish a sitting judge for misdeeds, including interfering with an attorney-client relationship. The commission has up to a year to complete its inquiry. Stephen Woltnizek, a local attorney who serves on the six-member commission, told The Enquirer he could not confi rm nor deny the commission’s investigation into Gentry. But a combination of sworn statements and interviews obtained by The Enquirer confi rm the investigation’s existence. Hummel told The Enquirer a state investigator interviewed him in the fall about Gentry’s behavior. Another at-

records. The state claimed Gentry coerced attorneys on the panel designed to help abused children to donate the maximum amount to her 2018 reelection campaign. Gentry, a Republican, became judge in 2016 when outgoing Gov. Matt Bevin picked her to ﬁ ll a vacancy. She was reelected to a four-year-term in 2018. The judge, according to the charges, also required panel members to serve on her campaign’s ﬁ nance committee and asked an attorney to put up a campaign sign while they were in court.

Retaliation When people didn’t do what the judge wanted, she retaliated, state investigators claim. She retaliated against: ❚ Former case specialist Meredith Smith for not suﬃ ciently supporting the judge’s campaign. ❚ Attorney Mike Hummel for failing

torney wrote in a sworn statement, fi led in a motion to recuse the judge from a Kenton County divorce case, that his employee was a witness in the investigation. That witness, in her own sworn statement, explained how Gentry’s behavior trickled down to the most vulnerable citizens seeking legal help — abused children. Clients became bystander victims as tension rose between the attorneys and the judge. When attorneys didn’t do as Gentry asked, according to the complaints, they got kicked off or resigned from a legal panel that’s designed to give free help to children facing abuse. The attorneys tried to continue work with some clients and quickly transferred others to new attorneys. Gentry “thwarted” the eff orts, according to Hummel and a sworn witness statement. The witness is Katherine Schulz, who resigned from the panel in May. She wrote in her affi davit that she faced the judge’s “wrath” when she rebuff ed sexual propositions from the judge; she also said she saw others punished for not suffi ciently supporting the judge, either politically or by showing up for performances by the judge’s band, South of Cincy. Hummel said he was pushed out of his job on the panel after 10 years and was replaced by someone who donated quadruple the amount he did to Gentry’s campaign. He told The Enquirer the judge later dragged her feet on signing documents that would have helped hundreds of children who were his clients.

husband in exchange for a higher paying position on the panel, according to the aﬃ davit. Schulz refused, and expressed in the aﬃ davit that she thought it was a joke until it was brought up on multiple occasions. Schulz believed this was Gentry’s way of looking to blame her husband, Brian Gentry, for their divorce. In October, The Enquirer reported that Gentry got a divorce in Grant County and got the record sealed. The Enquirer went to court and unsealed the records.

‘Download Snapchat’

In the spring, Schulz began to feel “ostracized” by Gentry. Their Snapchat group went silent after an incident that was redacted in Schulz’s affi davit. The silence continued until an attorney, whose name was redacted, called Schulz to a meeting. At the meeting that took place in May, Schulz was questioned by an attorney involved with the Kentucky Bar Association Ethics Hotline. That attorney asked Schulz if she had been “gossiping” about Gentry’s divorce. The attorney suggested, according to Schulz’s affi davit, that when Schulz worked on the same panel for a Boone County judge, she violated rules set by the Administrative Offi ce of the Courts, the state entity that manages courts throughout the state. Schulz, who said she had been to the hospital because of extreme stress, resigned from Gentry’s panel that next day, according to her affi davit.

The friendship between Gentry and Schulz, as Schulz defi ned it in her affi davit, started after Schulz got a job on the panel and knocked on doors throughout Kenton County for Gentry’s 2018 reelection campaign. Gentry, a Republican, became judge in 2016 when outgoing Gov. Matt Bevin picked her to fi ll a vacancy. Gentry and Schulz regularly spoke over the app Snapchat, which deletes pictures, videos and messages once opened. Over the next few months, Gentry used the disappearing messages to ask Schulz to seduce her husband and join her in group sex, Schulz wrote in her affi davit. The affi davit was not fi led in a public court, but The Enquirer obtained a copy.

Seduce my husband Gentry wanted Schulz to seduce her

to make the maximum donation to her campaign and declining to campaign on your behalf by removing him from the panel. ❚ Attorneys who did not support her campaign by delaying hearing dates for their cases. ❚ School liaison oﬃ cer Kelly Blevins for supporting her opponent in the 2018 election. It seems Gentry wasn’t honest with the commission about some of their inquiries. “You failed to be candid and honest with the Commission in a previous inquiry regarding the appointment of Ms. Sanders and the ﬁ ring of Ms. Smith and Mr. Hummel, as well as about the quality of Mr. Hummel’s work on the GAL panel,” the documents read.

What is she charged with? The speciﬁ c charges are: 1 Coercion to participate in judicial campaign. 2 Retaliation for failure to support judicial campaign. 3 Facilities and time sheet falsiﬁ cation.

Group sex inquiry roped into the judge’s affair Gentry asked Schulz to have a threesome with herself and a man named Stephen Penrose, according to the affi davit. He used to be the judge’s pastor at Bromley Christian Church, according to Penrose’s LinkedIn page. The couple wanted to have group sex with Schulz at a legal conference in Louisville, according to the affi davit. “After I declined the request for the threesome encounter, I feared my panel position might be in jeopardy,” Schulz wrote in the affi davit. She earned about $60,000 as a panel member. After the election, Gentry replaced her case specialist, Meredith Smith, with Penrose at a salary $10,000 more than Smith’s, according to payroll records The Enquirer obtained through a Kentucky Open Records Act Request.

Judge Dawn Gentry denies 8 charges about sex, favoritism Julia Fair Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kenton County Family Court Judge Dawn Gentry now faces eight charges from state investigators related to favoritism, sexual advances and consuming alcohol in the courthouse. The judge denies the charges, according to her response fi led with Kentucky's Judicial Conduct Commission. The response was fi led Monday, Dec. 2 but wasn't released until late Wednesday, Dec. 4. Earlier Wednesday, Dec. 4 The Enquirer reported the judge was at the center of an investigation by the commission, the only entity in the state that can punish a sitting judge. Later in the day, the commission disclosed everything that it investigated – and that the judge now faces charges. The commission’s formal proceeding began Nov. 18, according to the Notice of Formal Proceedings and Charges released Wednesday, Dec. 4. “What serving as Family Court Judge for Kenton County – in particular, since being elected to that position in November 2018 – you have engaged in a pattern of conduct that constitutes misconduct in offi ces and violates the Code of Judicial Conduct,” the document read. The specifi c charges are: 1 Coercion to participate in judicial campaign. 2 Retaliation for failure to support judicial campaign. 3 Facilities and timesheet falsifi cation. 4 Retaliation against school employees. 5 Ex Part Communication with GAL panel members. 6 Inappropriate hiring and relationship with Mr. Penrose. 7 Hiring and appointing court staff not based on merit. 8 Failure to be candid and honest with the commission. Now that charges have been fi led, the judge will face a disciplinary hearing, likely to be held somewhere in Northern Kentucky, within the next two or three months. No date has been set for the hearing. The Enquirer reported the judge allegedly asked Katherine Schulz, who worked on a panel ran by the judge, for a threesome and other favors related to sex. The Enquirer also reported Mike Hummel, also a former panel member, felt he was pushed out after he did not donate the maximum amount to her reelection campaign. The documents from the commission revealed it also investigated claims that the judge retaliated against a school liaison offi cer, Kelly Blevins, when Blevins fi led cases how her employer wanted instead of how the judge wanted. Gentry denied almost all the allegations, according to the document. She admitted there was one inappropriate joke, that she could remember, that Stephen Penrose, her case specialist, sent that she did not respond to. The commission investigated whether there was a sexual relationship between Gentry and Penrose. The judge also admitted she appointed "acquaintances" to a permanent custody roster, but added “almost all attorneys who practice in this county” are her acquaintances. But the rest of the claims demonstrated “a pattern” of misconduct in the offi ce, the commission wrote in its document. In 47 pages, the commission explained how it investigated claims that the judge made inappropriate sexual advances, traded jobs for donations to her campaign, used the panel for campaign work, retaliated against employees and attorneys, kept false time sheets, allowed guitars to be played in the offi ce and her employees consume alcohol.

Sports CovCath wins 2nd title in 3 years James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LEXINGTON – After a battle of explosive off enses and fearsome defenses, the more experienced championship team will bring another title back to Northern Kentucky. Covington Catholic defeated Frederick Douglass 14-7 Saturday night in the KHSAA Class 5A state championship football game at the University of Kentucky’s Kroger Field. The Colonels fi nished 15-0 in winning their second state championship in the past three seasons and improved to 44-1 overall in that span. They won their eighth championship all-time and the 58th by a Northern Kentucky school. Douglass, a Lexington school in its third year of existence, fi nished 14-1 and is 35-5 in its short history. “It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” CovCath senior John Lawrie said. “We all played well together. We came out and did everything we can to win. It’s awesome. A lot of us have been playing together since we were little kids. We knew this is what we were made for since we were young kids. We dreamed about this ever since day one, and it’s the greatest feeling.” The game came down to Douglass starting at its own 21-yard line with 1:42 to play, trailing 14-7. The Broncos went nowhere. On fourth down, quarterback Josh McClurg scrambled around before CovCath senior Carter Martin brought him down to end the threat. The game featured two of the best defenses in Kentucky, who dominated every team on their schedule not named Lexington Catholic this season. CovCath had allowed 85 points for the season coming in, and Douglass 84. Both had allowed over 30 to LexCath. They lived up to that billing as the Colonels won the total off ense by a yard, 159-158. CovCath’s unit, which starts 10 seniors and one junior, shut down an athletic Douglass team averaging 43 points and 364 yards per game featuring several athletic playmakers and two elite Division I recruits on the line. “Our defense has been winning all year,” CovCath head coach Eddie Eviston said. “They really have. Our off ense was able to put points up all year, but tonight, it was a battle of two defenses. Man, our defense played lights out and got the stops when we needed them.” Said senior Daniel Felix, who had six tackles on the night: “It feels really good since last year, we weren’t able to come out on top. I’m so thankful for my team, all the coaches and everything. Our de-

fense played lights out once again. I have to hand it to our defense; we’re the best defense in the state.” CovCath senior Michael Mayer, a Notre Dame commit and Mr. Football frontrunner, was named the most valuable player of the game by making key plays on both sides of the ball. He had fi ve catches for 68 yards, including two clutch catches at key moments. He rushed three times for 20 yards, 18 on one highlight-reel play late in the game to help the Colonels clinch the win. On defense, the linebacker had 6.5 tackles, 1.5 for loss, and was a big key in containing Douglass’ explosive off ense. Mayer, who was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in Kentucky Friday, put his fi nal stamp on a potential Mr. Football resume. “He has the game of his life every time he suits up,” Eviston said. “That’s the way he approaches this game and that’s what makes him so special. Every rep, every snap, you’ll get 100 percent See COVCATH, Page 2B

Former CovCath standout CJ Fredrick stars for Iowa James Weber

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included reﬂ ects this article’s original publication date – Dec. 2. The Iowa Hawkeyes were hoping CJ Fredrick could make a big impact in his redshirt freshman season. The Covington Catholic basketball standout has done just that for the Hawkeyes. Fredrick and the Hawkeyes play the Cincinnati Bearcats Dec. 21 in Chicago in a rematch of last year’s ﬁ rst-round NCAA Tournament game that Iowa won.

Fredrick redshirted last year because of injury. Fredrick made a big showing on a national stage as he helped the Hawkeyes fi nish second in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational. Fredrick was named to the all-tournament team after a team-high 16 points in the fi nal, a loss to San Diego State. Iowa beat No. 12 Texas Tech, the defending national runner-up, 72-61 on Thanksgiving day to advance to the fi nals. With about a minute to go in the game and Iowa leading by two points, redshirt junior Cordell Pemsl secured an off ensive rebound and found Fredrick

on the left wing. Without hesitation, the redshirt freshman launched a 3-point attempt over Davide Moretti with the shot clock winding down and it splashed home, extending Iowa’s lead to 64-59. “That was a big rebound by Cordell,” said Fredrick on Iowa’s oﬃ cial web site. “If he doesn’t get that rebound, I don’t get that shot.” In Tech’s next possession, they missed a shot. Fredrick secured the defensive rebound, then worked to get out of a double-team in the backcourt and draw a foul. He made both free throws to put the Hawkeyes up by seven. See FREDRICK, Page 2B

CovCath junior quarterback Caleb Jacob was a perfect 6-of-6 passing for 53 yards. Three of those completions went to Mayer. On third down and 5, Mayer started to fall down on his back while the ball was heading his way. Mayer reached out with his left hand and pulled the ball in at the Douglass 15, giving CovCath a fourth and one. Felix converted on fourth down on the next play, diving through the line for a one-yard gain. Mayer then made another tough catch, reaching sky high to grab a Jacob pass near the sideline and eluding a tackler as he got to the 8 for an 11-yard gain. Felix rushed for six yards to the 2yard line, then Nally fi nished it off for his fi fth touchdown of the year. “It’s one of those things where some of the experience we’ve had down here helped us a little bit,” Eviston said. “We were able to put that fi rst drive together, ate a lot of clock. I don’t know if we’ve ever had a drive take that long. It was good to strike fi rst and get a lead to start off .” After CovCath’s touchdown, the game became a defensive slugfest and a battle of fi eld position. The teams punted on seven straight possessions before the Colonels ran out the clock in the fi nal minute of the period. Lawrie, at punter, left the Broncos inside their own 20 three times, with one drive starting at the Douglass 2-yard

line. CovCath started in Douglass territory twice in the second quarter, but could not generate anything. The Broncos had two sacks in the second period. CovCath only had 10 yards total off ense in the half after the opening drive. On one play, Neal stepped in front of a CovCath receiver and barely missed intercepting a pass that could have gone the other way for six Bronco points. Douglass had only 63 yards off ense in the fi rst half, 35 on its fi nal drive of the half, which ended at midfi eld. Both teams punted on their fi rst drives of the third quarter. CovCath got a fi rst down on runs of 8 and 4 yards from Felix. The streak of punts ended as senior Andy Molique stepped in front of a receiver to intercept a Josh McClurg pass at the CovCath 31. He returned it to the Douglass 48.

Then, Jacob found Mayer for the biggest gain of the game. On fourth and two from the Douglass 37, Jacob lofted a pass to Mayer, who caught it just inside the left sideline for a 37-yard gain to the Douglass 3-yard line. Mayer rushed three yards to the 1 with 2:00 to go in the period. Jacob plunged through the line for a sneak on the next play and a TD. Trey Gronotte’s kick gave CovCath a 14-0 lead with 1:39 to go in the third period. Douglass came right back with an 11play, 80-yard drive, all but one coming on the ground. Neal had fi ve carries for 59 yards on the drive, including gains of 20 and 25 yards. Ty Bryant scored after taking a wideopen path to the endzone, gaining 12 yards on a reverse. That cut the CovCath lead to 14-7 with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. Douglass got the ball back with 7:25 to go at its own 42, by far its best starting position of the night. On fourth and 4 from the CovCath 41, McClurg handed off to Neal, who was immediately swarmed by three or four Colonels who had burst through the line. After dancing around and trying to elude his pursuers, Neal was brought down for a 13-yard loss. Lawrie and Ryan Schneider were credited with the tackle. CovCath took over at the Douglass 46 with 4:36 to play. Mayer helped in a big way, gaining 18 yards to the Douglass 23 on a run where he tiptoed the sideline and barreled over a couple of would-be tacklers. CovCath missed a fi eld goal, though, giving the Broncos one last chance that the veteran defense stuff ed. “Just working together, doing what we’ve done all year long,” Lawrie said. “Just sticking together, running our assignments and playing every down.

Fredrick Continued from Page 1B

“He has always had that clutch gene,” said head coach Fran McCaffery on the Iowa site. “When he let that go, I knew it was in. I wasn’t surprised and he wasn’t surprised, then he turns around and makes two free throws. It’s who he is.” Fredrick said he’s proud of the team. “We have been locked in ever since the Cal Poly game. We were locked in all fi lm sessions and had great practices. Then to go out, fi ght, and execute the game plan, I couldn’t be more proud of my teammates. We have to keep it rolling.” In the Cal Poly game, an 85-59 home win by the Hawkeyes Nov. 24, Fredrick had a career-high 21 points. He made 7-of-8 fi eld goals and was a perfect 5-for-5 from 3-point range to go along with a career-high fi ve assists. “It felt like myself again,” Fredrick said. “The last couple of games I wasn’t as aggressive as I usually am. I came out (thinking), if I am open, I am going to shoot it. If they’re in my space, I am going to try to make a play for other people and I am going to get out on the defensive end. It felt good to do what I do; hopefully, I can keep it rolling.” McCaff ery said CJ plays both ends. “He defends, makes plays for other people and makes shots. That’s who he is; he’s a complete player. As impressed as I am with him, I’m not surprised. It’s what I expected and what he expects from himself. He’s a good player.” Fredrick led CovCath to the 2018 state championship with a historic performance in the Sweet 16. He averaged 27.8 points in the four games while shooting 63 percent from the fi eld. He averaged 23 points per game for the season and ended his Colonels career with 1,651 career points. Fredrick’s 32 points in the state championship win over Scott County shattered the previous local record of 25 in a state fi nal, held by three players.

COMMUNITY NEWS Christmas Crafts with Cops On Dec. 5, Glenn O Swings Elementary School’s third grade sponsored its fi fth annual Christmas Crafts with Cops night. Over 275 children and their families attended this event, which also included 10 Covington Police Offi cers, multiple GOS staff members, and Santa Claus. Mari Torgerson

Please help families in our community this holiday season By Michael T. LaRosa, chief executive offi cer, LaRosa’s, Inc. We all know that hunger exists in our communities, but we may not fully understand to what extent. The reality is that one-in-fi ve children in Cincinnati are food insecure, meaning they are unsure of where their next meal will come from. In our community, Freestore Foodbank colLaRosa laborates with over 500 regional agencies to serve a 20-county area, distributing 33 million meals annually. Freestore Foodbank provides a number of innovative programs that are tailored to meet the needs of those experiencing food insecurity in an accessible way. Whether it’s through schools, the VA clinic, medical providers, mobile markets, or other channels, Freestore Foodbank works to tangibly improve lives by eliminating hunger. In many Tristate communities, a sizable percentage of students rely on their school’s free and reduced meals throughout the week. As a supplement, Freestore Foodbank’s ‘Power Pack’ program sends packages of food home with students to ensure they have food on weekends. Each Power Pack contains over a dozen food items that are shelf-stable and kid-friendly. When I asked how the Power Pack program impacts the lives of students, Freestore Foodbank’s Executive Director Kurt Reiber told the story of a young boy who is a Power Pack recipient. The child’s school had recently been added for Power Pack distribution; when the boy received a Power Pack for the fi rst time he asked his teacher if he would continue to receive the food on a regular basis. His teacher told him that he would be given a Power Pack each week, and the young boy responded with relief saying that his parents had to sell all of his toys to pay their family’s rent, but now with this food he would be able to help his whole family have something to eat. There’s a rawness in that story; the honest struggle that’s only revealed through the openness of a child. It’s easy to make ourselves the center of the holiday season; our own families, children and loved ones; the stressors of shopping, planning and preparing. But in the spirit of the season this year, consider shifting your focus to giving back. From people you’ve never met, to the neighbor you never knew struggled, help local families have a happier holi-

Tame holiday mess The holidays are wonderful, yet they bring with them their own brand of mess. Decorations, plants and trees, candles, big family dinners and house guests present challenges for keeping a clean house throughout December. The American Cleaning Institute has some tips for keeping things clean without stressing you out. Declutter your house before the holidays are here. That will make it much easier to keep it neat once the madness starts. Keep pre-moistened window wipes on hand to clean up smudges on windows and mirrors, especially if there are kids in the house. If your good linen get stained and the label says it can be machine washed, grab a stain stick or stain wipe and address the stain quickly. When meals are done, clear the table and pre-treat any stains with and prewash stain remover. Fill the washing machine with laundry detergent, water (check the label for the right temperature) and bleach (if the fabric can tolerate it) and let the linens soak there overnight. Run the washer in the morning. Flatten boxes and bag up wrapping paper quickly once presents are opened. Put mats at the front door to help keep the dirt out when guests come in and shake them often to remove excess dirt. When you’re putting away decorations, clean them before storing them in closed bins that are clearly marked with See COMMUNITY, Page 9B

what room they go in. That will make next year’s decorating easier. (Hint: take a photo of how you decorated this year so that you can quickly recreate the look next year). Having a neat house will allow you to focus on celebrating and enjoying friends and family, so try to spend a few minutes every day on cleaning. Then reward yourself with your favorite holiday treats. For more tips on holiday cleaning, visit http://www.cleaninginstitute.org/ clean_living/quick_holiday_spruceups.aspx.

NOTICE

Please take notice that Duke Energy Kentucky, Inc. has applied to the Kentucky Public Service Commission for approval to revise its Demand Side Management (DSM) rate for gas service and electric service for residential and commercial customers. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers is ($0.012250) per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers is $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s current monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers is ($0.003120) per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers is $0.005024 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and $0.000637 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service. Duke Energy Kentucky seeks approval to revise these rates as follows: Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential gas customers would increase to $0.030735 per hundred cubic feet and for non-residential gas customers would remain at $0.000000 per hundred cubic feet. Duke Energy Kentucky’s monthly DSM rate for residential electric customers would decrease to ($0.003143) per kilowatt-hour and for non-residential customers would decrease to $0.001768 per kilowatt-hour for distribution service and would decrease to $0.000537 per kilowatt-hour for transmission service. The rate contained in this notice is the rate proposed by Duke Energy Kentucky. However, the Public Service Commission may order a rate to be charged that differs from this proposed rate. Such action may result in a rate for consumers other than the rate in this notice. The foregoing rates reflect a proposed decrease in electric revenues of approximately ($7.56) million or (2.13%) over current total electric revenues and an increase in gas revenues of approximately $2.67 million or 2.60% over current total gas revenues. A typical residential gas customer using 70 ccf in a month will see an increase of $3.01 or 4.4%. A typical residential electric customer using 1000 kWh in a month will see a decrease of $0.03 or (0.03%). A typical non-residential electric customer using 40 kilowatts and 14,000 kWh will see a decrease of $17.49 or (1.4%). A non-residential customer served at transmission voltage using 10,000 kilowatts and 4,000,000 kWh will see a decrease of $400.00 or (0.1%). Non-residential gas customers will see no change in their bills from this application. Any corporation, association, body politic or person may by motion within thirty (30) days after publication or mailing of notice of the proposed rate changes, submit a written request to intervene to the Public Service Commission, 211 Sower Boulevard, P.O. Box 615, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602, and shall set forth the grounds for the request including the status and interest of the party. The intervention may be granted beyond the thirty (30) day period for good cause shown. Written comments regarding the proposed rate may be submitted to the Public Service Commission by mail or through the Public Service Commission’s website. A copy of this application filed with the Public Service Commission is available for public inspection at Duke Energy Kentucky’s office at 1262 Cox Road, Erlanger, Kentucky 41018 and on its website at http://www.duke-energy.com. This filing and any other related documents can be found on the Public Service Commission’s website at http://psc.ky.gov.
