Citizen movement created 30 per cent off to facilitate occupy efforts tuition now a reality
Gloria dickie News Features editor The Ontario government is rolling back the savings on undergraduate tuition. Yesterday, Premier Dalton McGuinty announced the Liberal government would be cutting university and college tuition by 30 per cent, fulfilling his campaign promise. Although technically defined as a grant, not a cut, Glen Murray, minister of training, colleges and universities, explained for most students it would have the same effect. University undergraduate students will receive $1,600 per annum or $800 per semester. College students will receive $730 per annum. If the grant is received for all four years, it will amount to $6,400 or comparable to a free year of tuition. During these lean fiscal times, our government remains committed to helping our youth achieve success in school, go on to postsecondary education and get a good job, McGuinty declared. The discount will be available in the form of a grant to post-secondary students coming from families with incomes under $160,000 and will be offered for up to four years. Part-time students do not qualify as of yet. With an annual allotment of roughly $450 million, Murray estimated the cuts would affect approximately 320,000 Ontario students, or 86 per cent of students. It is a very big commitment by the government of Ontario and a very major investment in students and in our post-secondary education system, Murray stated. The program will begin on January 1, 2012, meaning all students currently enrolled in a postsecondary institute who meet the above criteria will be affected by the grants. In fact, $800 will be given to university students in January, and $365 to college students. Those already on OSAP will automatically be registered to receive the grant cheque, while those who havent qualified for OSAP but still , meet the grant criteria will be able to apply online by mid-December. The application process, according to Murray, will be very simple and consist of four questions. The Ministry is already going through OSAP applicants and they will automatically be sending out cheques, Murray explained. However, in future years, there will be automatic deduction from students tuition online. Since 2003, the Ontario government has tripled the number of grants available to struggling students. Murray observed that both student debt and employment opportunities were challenges for students, and hoped the program would help. Our government is quite constrained right now because of the global situation, and we thought that this was something that was meaningful to students, he concluded. It gets money into their pockets quickly and starts to bring the cost down for students, especially for students early in the system and entering the workforce.

alex Carmona News editor After being evicted last week by the City of London, the Occupy London movement seems to have found a cooperative partner. At the behest of the city, Glen Pearson, co-director of the London Food Bank, has drawn together a citizens task force with the goal of facilitating efforts between Occupy London and the broader community. The task force will attempt to streamline the Occupy protestors into a greater community-wide movement with clear, coherent goals. Were thankful to Occupy London for raising these issues the way they have, but the broader community wants in, Pearson said. This would never have happened if Occupy wasnt in the park. But

now lets take what theyre trying to do and put some substance and some policy into it that the broader public can feed into. Among the ranks of the task force are a number of eminent London citizens, such as Kevin Dixon, dean of St. Pauls Cathedral, James Shelley, coordinator of the city symposium community initiative, and Eric Sheppard, a local community activist and strong supporter of Occupy London. Its important to remember that this initiative is independent of the cityits a citizen movement, Pearson said. Sheppard also stressed the fact that the Occupy movement will not be the central part of the new plan, but instead just a part of it. This isnt focused on the occupation. This is an initiative on the part of the people of London and

the people of Earth, he said. Pearson acknowledged some occupiers may not appreciate this, and may feel their movement is being sidelined. However, he was unconcerned. I dont worry about it at all, but it will happen. Yes, some are going to find it really difficult but [] Im not out here so I dont hurt peoples feelings, he said. Weve got real problems in society which I think we need to deal with and this is a great way to do it. The initiative plans to have clear-cut policies by March of next year. The plan is to go before council before [next years] budget is passed [] and say Heres what we think about your policies and we think you either need to tweak

CHrw tuning into students interests

Cameron Smith Gazette staFF Campus radio station CHRW wants to listen to its listeners. The University Students Council has teamed up with CHRW to conduct a survey for early next year about what students want to see from their programming. We are going to do a survey of students on campus [] to determine what stuff they like to listen to so that CHRW can focus on providing more content for students, Eliot Hong, communications officer for the USC, said. It will also help determine how to provide content to meet the demands of the digital age. We decided to focus more on programming and student input on podcasting and web content, Hong said. According to Hong, a full review of CHRWs listeners has been proposed to occur in the next couple of years, although Jeremy Santucci, communications officer for Kings University College Students Council, does not think it will be necessary. Were not [necessarily] doing a full listener review anymore, were doing a student survey on what students would like to listen to, he said. Grant Stein, general manager of CHRW, is eagerly awaiting the results of the survey. We want to find out if were delivering content people want to listen to, and if possible shift what were doing and take advantage of different styles, Stein said. CHRWs content and audience is so varied that these surveys are highly unpredictable. You never know what youre going to get from a survey like this, Stein said.

Colborne Street, Dennis Rivest, media relations officer for the London Police Service, said. When we arrived we found a male in medical distress. That male was taken to London Health Sciences [Centre] where he was pronounced dead at about 9:45 p.m. last night. Police have arrested 49-year-old Gordon Pocock of London who has been charged with second-degree murder. Police say the two subjects shared a residence. They were known to each other, they were tenants in a rooming house and so they shared a common area, Rivest said. This is the citys sixth homicide of 2011, which is the average number of homicides in London per year, according to Rivest. Jesse Tahirali

tis the season to donate

The 22nd annual Season of Celebration campaign has begun. The fundraiser for Parkwood Hospital, which is home to veterans and patients with chronic illness, was started to help patients suffering from anxiety and depression who couldnt enjoy the holidays. This years donation goal of $360,000 will fund various projects, including SMART Board technology for patients, a new breast cancer centre and exercise equipment for those receiving mental health care. So far $150,000 in donations have been received. People who have been donors for decades are aware of the campaign, and as such we have been able to receive quite a few gifts, Jennifer Parraga, manager of communications and donor relations at St. Josephs Hospital, said. We are really fortunate in London with people who are generous, and we are grateful that people take the time for people in the hospitals during the holiday season. The campaign will be running until December 31. Jason Oncz

Shark fin ban flounders at city council

councillors seek more information from federal government
Gloria dickie News Features editor A proposed bylaw to city council is struggling to stay afloat after councillors voted not to move forward with a ban on shark fins. Sandy White, Ward 14 councillor, proposed the bylaw to ban the sale and consumption of shark products in London after receiving information on the issue from constituents. I researched it and I thought, this is very gruesome, White said. To think it doesnt affect our city is absolutely inaccurate. Recently, Toronto, Brantford, Oakville and Mississauga put similar bans in place regarding shark fins and shark meat. White noted the fact other cities had implemented bans on shark fin products simply affirmed that cities across Ontario were taking the issue seriously. But at Tuesday nights community and neighbourhoods committee meeting, councillors decided to seek more information from the federal government before moving ahead. White expressed this was the reaction she was expecting, as often bans dont get passed before a lengthy discussion has occurred, as well as information gathering. However, Stephen Orser, Ward 4 councillor, didnt support the regulation of shark meat, viewing it as a federal food regulation issue as opposed to the responsibility of a municipality. Sending out already overworked bylaw officers to inspect the contents of soup at restaurants and issuing a first fine of $15,000 just didnt sit well with me, he stated, adding the fine for a second offence would double to $30,000 if the current bylaw was approved. Orser continued it was really an issue of resources, and questioned whether the bylaw would be able to stand up in court if challenged. White agreed that it was a federal government issue, but argued that didnt mean Londons city council couldnt take action while they waited for more information. In line with her opinion, she announced plans to bring forward a moratorium on shark products to city council at Mondays meeting, and hoped councillors would support it. Some scientists estimate 75 to 100 million sharks are killed for

their fins each year, often through barbaric practices. Its just evil what people are doing to these animals. Theyre skinning them alive, theyre slicing off their fins and theyre throwing them back into an ocean where theyre going to drown or bleed to death or be eaten alive by other animals, Glen De Baeremaeker, a Toronto city councillor, told the

Gazette last month, following the passing of the ban in Toronto. De Baeremaeker likened the ban on the consumption and sale of shark products to the international ban on ivory products. Were all still pretty happy in Canada, but were not slaughtering elephants anymore, he said. Although not all councillors may be on board with the shark

meat ban, White observed shed already received a great response from the community. A lot of snowbird-type people have been following this, and theyre very pleased to see that at least were bringing some awareness to the issue and hope that council does the right thing.

them, we support them or we dont agree with them, Pearson concluded. Thursday night also saw evicted occupiers of Victoria Park take to the streets. The group, flanked on all sides by police, made a circuit around downtown London, stopping to protest outside most of Londons major banks. Their first stop, Royal Bank of Canada, was unprepared, and were unable to lock the doors in time to prevent the crowd from entering the branch. Inside, the protestors were regaled with a

personal tale of woe from a former occupier, Renee Genilas. I was [taken advantage of] by family law, and while I was having financial difficulties, the bank more than doubled the interest rate on my Visa, he exclaimed, followed by shouts of Shame! Ginelas explained the goal of the rally was to express the anger felt by many of the protestors at Canadas large chartered banks, who he felt should take more care to better serve the needs of the public. We need to bring back ethics into the legal and financial world, he said.

Opinions
Mind your manners
Etiquette, though it has a fairly broad definition, is essentially the unwritten rules of how one should behave in social situations. Proper etiquette is seen classically as the knowledge of which utensil to use at the dinner table, but as our society ages we adopt new values. Social norms evolve over time, and with the introduction of Internet technology, business etiquette has grown into much more than wearing a suit and giving a firm handshake. Email etiquette involves greeting someone properly, using full, correctly spelled words and having a professional sign-off. Knowledge of these abilities will likely soon completely replace the knowledge of how to send a proper thank you note or Christmas card. Etiquette also extends to every social interaction, including many we dont think about. Its generally unacceptable to refer to people in positions of authority by their first name, and the titles Mr., Mrs. or Dr. are usually the proper prefixes to use, for example. Does our generation have poor etiquette? Well, the way we handle ourselves is generally more relaxed than the staunch vision we have of the past. Social interaction in the 21st century is almost entirely online. Its difficult to keep up proper etiquette moving from MSN to BBM. Tried and true methods like email and text messaging have developed a fairly well-established set of rules, and as one matures, one learns how to send a proper message. But learning as one matures also applies to the old school. Wearing a suit to an interview, giving a firm handshake and eating politely are skills and knowledge that anyone looking to land a job should have. Being from a younger generation doesnt excuse blunt rudeness. Although etiquette is less rigid than it may have been in the past, it still exists. Whether it be on the golf course, on the road or on the world wide web, there are always subtle cultural laws that people should be aware of, and although proper politeness is relative between societies and generations, proper etiquette will always dictate making an effort to treat people with kindness and respect. The Gazette Editorial Board

etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential.

City council needs to butt out

Uze your Brain
Julian Uzielli News editor Earlier this week, it was announced that the Middlesex-London Health Unit is considering a recommendation to ban outdoor smoking in London. While I highly doubt that London city council will turn this into a bylawour mayor is a long-time smokerits still a proposition that bears discussion. Im not a smoker. I tried my first cigarette at the tender age of 16, and decided I didnt like them. Notwithstanding obvious health risks, I just didnt really enjoy it, and made the choice not to smoke. Ive got no bone to pick with smokersas long as they dont smoke in indoor public places, theyre fine by me. But banning smoking outside is ridiculous. Smokers may be a shrinking minority, but that doesnt justify making things more difficult for them than they are already. As far as Im concerned, as long as its not in a situation where it can harm others through second-hand smokesuch as inside a bar or restaurantthen its none of anybodys business to tell smokers where they can and cant slowly kill themselves. To ban smoking outside would be incredibly unfair to smokers. Its already illegal to smoke inside almost every building that isnt a private residence so where, aside from their home, could they smoke? Whats the point of keeping cigarettes legal if were going to make it illegal to smoke everywhere? This isnt even taking into account those smokers who live in rented apartments and houses, where they have to go outside to smoke. What about them? Tough luck, many people would sayits bad for their health, and they shouldnt be doing it anyway. But to those people I have this to saywhat makes your opinion any more valuable than theirs? Smokers know what theyre doing is unhealthy, just like many other common habits enjoyed by people everywhere. What someone wants to do to his or her own bodyno matter how harmful it might be to themselvesis none of your business, so long as its not hurting you. I dont necessarily condone smoking, and I congratulate anyone who is able to quit. But the fact is, as long as cigarettes are legal we need to be reasonable about smoking restrictions. Logistically, I fail to see how this kind of bylaw could even be enforced. Cops barely bother to do anything about people smoking pot outside, unless its disruptive. Its a waste of time and resources when there are more important crimes to worry about. Why would smoking cigarettes be any different? Given the sheer number of smokers in London, I cant see how we could ever hope to enforce such a rule with any reasonable degree of success. Beyond that, can you imagine the amount of lost productivity that would come from police having to stop to issue a ticket every time they see someone step outside for a smoke? The outdoors is the last place smokers can light up away from home. To take that away is simply unfair. Beyond that, to ban outdoor smoking across the whole city just isnt feasible. The City of Londons time and money is better spent elsewhere.

In a world where Jersey Shore is the trend du jour, and most of our social interactions take place between our thumbs, it doesnt seem like etiquette still has a place. These days, etiquette feels like an antiquated idea. The word itself evokes images of high tea, silkgloved ladies and monocle-clad gentleman and still seems like a skill set reserved for the upper echelons of society, rather than your average broke student. According to international etiquette expert Jan Cottle, however, manners are for everybody. The final indicator of class whatever that meansis definitely the possession of social skills, Cottle explains. I dont think its a snobby thing, I think its a polite thing. I think its something [] that anyone can have regardless of education or financial status. I think anyone can be classy. Cottle owns and operates Etiquette London, an etiquette instruction school, where she gives half and full-day protocol lessons on topics such as wedding etiquette and business lunches. She has students of all ages and backgroundsfrom police officers to runway modelswho seek out her unique brand of education. Back in the 40s and 50s, it was actually considered a central part of the school curriculum, she says. Thats been taken out of the schools and to a large part its been taken out of the homes because lots of parents are workingthe dining room ceases to exist in most family homes, and if it does its seldom used. While social skills might not top the priority list for the average Western student, Cottle insists strong social skills are crucial for young graduates entering the job market. Theres definitely a need for it, especially today, because its never been harder to find a job and the markets never been tougher. The demands on todays professionals surpass any that weve known in the past, she says. You cant afford not to know [] how to behave. Cottles not the only one who thinks so. Jana Seijts is a management communications lecturer in the Richard Ivey School of Business. In competitive job markets like business and engineering, being smart isnt always enough, she says. You go out to a networking event and if you are smart you assume that most of the people in the room have the same degree as you, or similar qualifications. So how do you set yourself apart? Seijts asks. Etiquette is just one of many ways of separating yourself. First-year Ivey business student Anna Wu says while there isnt a heavy emphasis on etiquette in her program, its definitely touted by instructors as an asset in the business world. One course even includes a lesson on proper dining etiquette. It teaches you what to do at

fact of the day

In ancient rome removing a persons plate before they were finished eating was extremely insulting.

Multimedia Director Kaleigh rogers learns the ins and outs of decorum
dinnerwhat you should wear, the way that you eat, the way that you place your plates, she explains. Though she said the course was very basic, Wu echoed Seijtss sentiments that refined social skills give students an extra edge in an competitive job market. But you dont have to be an Ivey student to pick up these skills. The university offers opportunities for students to learn etiquette through its Backpack 2 Briefcase program. Its designed to help students become more comfortable making the move from student to young professional, and includes events like dining etiquette and wine tasting. Once youre in the workforce, youre invited to dinner parties, youre invited to work functions, so its all about preparing [students] for that, Beth ODonovan, student outreach associate for Alumni Western, says. In any profession you always have to know how to network and meet people and make connections. I think its very important. But, in the real world, business etiquette has less to do with the difference between the dessert fork and the salad fork, and more to do with cultivating relationships, at least according to one Bay Street executive. Thats not important at all, not to me, Peadar Duignan, vice-president relationship management and business development at Penson Financial Services in Toronto, says. Attitude is very, very importantthat youre helpful, eager and passionate about your job. Thats much more important. He says these social skills can be learned, and that it really boils down to how you treat other people in all areas of your life. Quite simply, you try to put yourself in the other persons shoes always and treat them the way youd like to be treated.

Video Game review
must defeat him and his servants. The main quest involves defeating the dragons and collecting their power for the Dragon Shout, while many sideline events occur to keep things interesting. Skill building and character customization are improved from Oblivion, using perks when leveling up similar to Fallout. Skills and abilities grow with experience and the choices the player makes. When fighting, the ability to equip each hand with a magical power or weapon makes for precise attacks, allowing more strategy and adopting Fallouts slow motion feature for final kill. The soundtrack is extremely befitting, appropriately switching from a suspenseful orchestral piece, to a silent calm, or a barbaric chant. Character interaction is vastly improved as interactions are not restricted to standing or one action. NPCs may be found fighting, farming or reacting to one another. Little complaint over minor glitches and annoyances make gameplay almost flawless. Unfortunately, some randomly spawning enemies are capable of crushing the player character in an instant. Further switching between weapons is still intrusive into gameplay. This can reduce the fast paced action feeling battles are supposed to evoke. With a more focused gameplay, allowing unlimited choice and amazing graphics, the improvements Bethesda has made to its interfacing and gameplay are for the benefit of the player, and are a welcome change. Like a good novel, Skyrim is hard to tear away from, even when that essay is in the line of sight.

The Darcys played at APK Live Wednesday night in front of a small crowd that was appropriately receptive. There were a few bands to play on the evening, including Amos the Transparent, Odonis Odonis and Spiral Beach. Each band performed well with Amos the Transparent finishing a strong set before The Darcys took the stage to do

their thing. Great vocals and a mix of different guitar sounds, piano, electric keys, bass and drums contributed to the musics timbre, creating a good atmosphere. That, in addition to an audience composed of a number of dedicated fans, made for a show that was laid back yet intense and rock enthused simultaneously. The Darcys have a great way of combining big sounds with melodious guitar riffs and vocal compilations that sound ambient at times and unmistakably clear at others. For a five dollar entrance fee there isnt any doubt that the show was worth the price of admission. What The Darcys did on Wednesday was deserving of a bigger crowd and a better sound. The band has a sound that switches, sometimes mid-song, from feel

good foot-tapping beats to heavier and slightly darker timbres that can cause one to lose themselves in the moment. Losing yourself in the moment and dedicating your sole attention to the music is precisely why bands like The Darcys have been able to attract a solid fan base. No group of people could have been more dedicated to the moment Wednesday night than the band themselves. Often with their eyes closed and always putting a concentrated effort towards producing a good performance, The Darcys created the music and atmosphere perfectly suited not only for those who enjoy their style of music, but also for anyone who is willing to give it a chance.

Jason Sinukoff sports editor The Mustangs womens hockey team will hit the road this weekend to take on the Waterloo Warriors and the York Lions on Saturday and Sunday respectively. In the 13 games played, the Mustangs are a dead even 6-6-1. For the Mustangs, preparing for the weekend is simple. We are just continuing to build on what weve been doing all season. We started off slowly, although we played well. We continued to play well. Were working on skill development and trying to get everybody to be better, Chris Higgins, Mustangs head coach, said. Our goal is just to get better every game, every day. However, both Waterloo and York pose a different threat to the Mustangs dynamic play. For one, the womens squad will have to find a way to solve the Warriors goaltending. Waterloo has an incredible goalie. Theyve been getting outshot, for example [they were outshot] 35-8 by Guelph and only lost 2-1 in overtime. So basically they dont score a lot of goals, but they lead the league in goals against, Higgins said. Weve got to make sure we dont give them any easy goals, because theyre tough to score on. As far as the Lions go, they boast a tough defence and the Mustangs will have to figure out a way to break through if they want to win. Yorks got some very good defencementhats the strength of their team, Higgins said. The Mustangs have been rebuilding for the past couple of years, and Higgins decided to build his team around speed. This is the reason he and the Mustangs believe they will have the advantage over York come Sunday. Theres a couple of arenas like Guelph, Laurier and York that have the large Olympic ice surfaces [] We have built our team around speed, so we think were going to do very well against [those teams] on the big ice surfaces. The team has won four of their last five games, so carrying that momentum into the weekend is crucial for them. The girls are on a highweve won four of five. We know were playing well. Even games weve lost we know we played well. We actually think weve only had one bad game all year, Higgins explained. Along with riding their wave of momentum into the weekend, the Mustangs will have to continue with their strong penalty kill, but also improve on some aspects of their game. Our penalty killing is probably the best in the league. Our goals against average, with the exception of one game, would probably

got the talent, but theyve just been a little snake-bitten, thats all, he continued. Higgins is very proud of his team and is very excited for what the future holds for them. Were a team of the future and the future may be November, De-

cember, January or February, but were really pumped about where were going, Higgins said. I think the team is on its way to becoming a very strong team in [Ontario University Athletics]. Its nice to see the turnaround.

women falter against Lions

Garen Keleshian lent his abilities to the Mustangs mens rugby team for a well-earned victory over the Queens Gaels to help them win the 2011 mens rugby championships. Garens performance against Queens on Sunday was one that lifted the teams intensity and really had us playing for each other, Conor Trainor, Keleshians teammate, said about Keleshians skills. Keleshian put the Mustangs in the drivers seat right from the start with a flawless run that led to the opening try of the game. After the try, the Mustangs never looked back and controlled the pace for the rest of the match. The first lineout of the game was a set play where we wanted Garen to attack the opposing team and force them to make a big hit to stop him, Trainor said.He put his body on the line and ended up breaking through multiple tackles, which resulted in a try after a fantastic offload. Keleshian was not only scoring for the Mustangs in their most important game of the year, but also boosting the teams morale. Later in the game he set the tone again when a Queens player blind-sided him with a punch and he bounced right back to his feet and delivered a punch of his own right back. These are the kind of things that fire a team up and when you look back on all the huge hits we had as a team you can tell he did his job, Trainor explained. Keleshian did everything in his power to help the Mustangs win the Ontario University Athletics title a trait admirable in any athlete. Watching a replay of his celebration after the final whistle shows how badly he wanted to win and how he wasnt going to let anything come between the team and a championship, Trainor said. All players played their part in this stunning 21-15 victory over Queens, but Keleshians determination was a big factor that helped make it all possible. Julian Panchaud

western and York opened the game with efficient scoring and both teams displayed effective half court and fast break offences. However, western struggled defensively in the second quarter and trailed 43-33 after the first half. after coach Brian cheng switched the teams strategy to a full court press, the Mustangs started to play better and put more pressure on Yorks guards. However, the Mustangs could not carry that play into the fourth quarter and ended up losing to the Lions by a score of 76-66.

the Bad
after starting off the season 4-1, the san Diego chargers have hit a bit of a snag. the always exciting chargers have lost their last four games and are on pace to fail to capture the aFc west titlea feat they have achieved for four of the last five seasons. the chargers play in one of the easiest divisions in the nFL and right now they are currently tied for second place in the division with the Denver Broncos and the Kansas city chiefs. all three teams currently trail the only team in the aFc west to not crack the top two teams in the division for the past eight yearsthe oakland raiders. Many problems plague the chargers. Quarterback Phillip rivers is ranked first in interceptions thrown, their running back, ryan Matthews, is ranked an abysmal 37th in the nFL for average yards and above all else, the chargers defence has not been the same since defensive coordinator ron rivera left for the carolina Panthers. the chargers will have to get it together if they want to reclaim the aFc west title.

the Good
with college footballs winningest coach going down in flames, it was college basketballs turn to crown a new wins leader in the bench boss category. with a 74-69 victory over the Michigan state spartans, Duke coach Mike Krzyzeski passed his mentor and former coach Bobby Knight on the all-time wins list in Division I college basketball. racking up his 903rd career win in his storied career, coach K embraced Knight as Knight was present doing colour commentary for the game. the crowd was littered with former Duke players waiting to congratulate coach K for solidifying his place in history. In his 37th season behind the bench, coach K again fields a national title contender as he brings back a wealth of upperclassmen, including the Plumlee brothers, while replacing last years freshman sensation Kyrie Irving with this seasons top recruit austin rivers. a master recruiter and a whiz with the whiteboard, coach K seems to be the model of consistency as he has kept the Duke basketball program in the national title picture every year.

the Ugly
what more is there to say about former defensive coordinator Jerry sandusky and the sexual abuse scandal at Penn state? In the best of lights it is a disaster of epic proportions that has cast a dark spell over the entire college football nation. the accusation of sexual abuse is absolutely horrific and the subsequent firings, riots, and negative media coverage will bury a program that used to be the ire of many other Football Bowl subdivision programs. a devastated nittany Lions nation was up in arms over coach Joe Paternos firing, but the main focus in this situation needs to be on the victims. whether Paterno was negligent or just a scapegoat for the program is negligible until the full details come out. If Bob costas interview with sandusky on sunday gave us any information it is that this is going to be a long slow process. sandusky admitted to horsing around and showering with these victims, but he denied any sexual abuse allegations. Before any more judgments are made the facts of the case need to be parsed out, but at face value this is as ugly as it gets.
