ALCOHOL
REACTIONS MIXED TO E.L. 50/50 ORDINANCE By Michael Koury kourymic@msu.edu THE STATE NEWS ■■
During a December 2012 meeting, the East Lansing City Council voted 3-2 to keep a rule requiring restaurants subject to the 50/50 ordinance to report their sales every 90 days intact. But some East Lansing businesses are unsatisfied with the decision and some city officials doubt its effectiveness to control overconsumption of alcohol. The rule requires no more than half a restaurant’s sales to come from alcohol. Crunchy’s general manager Mike Krueger said the rule is a pain and there is no reason to have it. “(It’s) not fairly enforced across the board,” he said. East Lansing officials banned the sale of alcohol in restaurants until 1968. The rule was put into place in the late 1980s, when the city was struggling with restaurants having alcohol-related problems. Between 1984 and 1989, the policy allowing restaurants to sell alcohol was changed three times. Any restaurant in existence before the 50/50 rule was established does not have to abide by the rule, as it has been “grandfathered” in. Restaurants with this status include Rick’s American Cafe, 224 Abbot Rd., The Peanut Barrel Restaurant, 521 E. Grand River Ave., and The Riv, 231 M.A.C. Ave. Eric Allchin, general manager of Dublin Square Irish Pub, 327 Abbot Rd., said it’s hard being a 50/50 restaurant. He has had to lower his alcohol prices and raise his food prices to comply with rules. He said the rule keeps fullon bars from coming to East See ALCOHOL on page 2 X

It’s been a long journey for Brandon D’Annunzio’s loved ones. It’s been more than 12 years since his high school friend Andrew VanSchooneveld was graced by Brandon’s light-hearted, contagious attitude. Too many years since his grandmother Betty Smith was greeted by his hugs and kisses. And for his mother, Shawn D’Annunzio, it’s been far too long since she saw her only son’s electric smile and heard his infectious laugh. For more than a decade, she has continued through life knowing her son’s killer moved on scotch-free after leaving her son dead, her family distraught and her heart broken. Indeed it has been a long trek for Shawn D’Annunzio. Fueled by her son’s memory, Shawn D’Annunzio spent nearly two years working to pass a law bearing her son’s name. On Dec. 14, 2012, Gov. Rick Snyder signed Brandon D’Annunzio’s Law. She said her son helped her through the process, and she knows he would be proud. “He would have done the exact same thing for me — I know it in my heart,” Shawn D’Annunzio said. “He’s been with me along the way. I’ve felt his presence every time I’ve testified and every time I’ve heard something — he’s been right there.” The story It was meant to be a happy occasion. Brandon was in East Lansing on a Spartan football weekend in October 2000 attending a friend’s bachelor party when things turned south. This was the weekend the 24-year-old’s life was cut short. When sitting on the side of M.A.C. Avenue after a night at the bars, Brandon was approached by another intoxicated individual. A scuffle ensued. The individual hit him, knocked him backward and Brandon’s skull cracked on the curb.

Eleven days later, he died in Lansing’s Sparrow Hospital from brain trauma while his killer walked free. It was the same day he planned to tell his mother he was going to propose to his girlfriend. The case had gone cold until a story published in The State News on the 10-year anniversary of the event motivated a witness to come forward — eventually leading police to the suspected culprit. But there was one catch: the witness came forward after the ten-year statute of limitation for manslaughter had run out, leaving East Lansing police and Shawn D’Annunzio at a deadend. They were unable to prosecute Brandon’s killer. Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III said it was a feeling of “desolate hopelessness” when they were unable to move forward with charges. Dunnings said he knew he had to tell Shawn D’Annunzio in person.
any team during his tenure. This time around, he got to leave with a smile. After trailing for much of the night, the No. 22 Spartans (13-3 overall, 2-1 Big Ten) used a second half surge and some clutch free throw shooting to earn the 62-59 victory against Iowa (11-5, 0-3). Sophomore guard Branden Dawson led the way with 17 points and four rebounds as one of four Spartans finishing in double figures in scoring in the winning effort. But it was junior guard Keith Appling who hit a pair of clutch free throws to seal the deal for the Spartans on the road. “We didn’t play very good, let’s be honest about it,” Izzo said. “We made some foolish plays and we did some things that weren’t like us but boy, in that last 10 minutes, I thought Appling, Dawson and (freshman guard) Gary Harris really rose up. (Junior center) Adreian Payne did some real good things and then made some mistakes, but we guarded better, we executed a little better and give Keith credit. We put the ball in his hands and he made some things happen.” With Iowa’s leading scorer Roy
“I just saw her just deflate,” Dunnings said. “It was painful. One of the things as a prosecutor we do is try to help crime victims try to bridge from the empty helplessness of loss to some sense of normalcy. And that just wasn’t possible.” Thus began Shawn D’Annunzio’s expedition to find closure and ensure this wouldn’t happen to another family. She began petitioning for Brandon D’Annunzio’s Law. When testifying before the House Judiciary Committee last October, Shawn D’Annunzio told legislators the most chilling part was knowing who her son’s killer was, where he lived and everything about him — but being incapable of taking any action. The law changes the statute of limitations for crimes such as manslaughter, kidnapping and attempted murder. In the new law, the statute of limitations begins once a culprit is identified, rather than when the crime

Devyn Marble out of the lineup with an ankle injury , the Hawkeyes were forced to turn to guard Eric May in the starting lineup. May made a quick 3-pointer out of the gates as part of a 7-0 run to open the game with the lead. After a timeout by Izzo, the Spartans roared back with a 9-2 run of their own, largely a product of the energy off the bench coming from Payne. This allowed the Spartans to keep the game close in a heated road atmosphere at Carver–Hawkeye Arena. However, it didn’t last long, as the Hawkeyes controlled the momentum and led by as many as 12 points in the half. Before halftime, the Spartans narrowed the gap with a 12-2 run, highlighted by a defensive rebound by Dawson that turned into a Dawson layup at the other end of the floor. The Spartans went into halftime trailing 28-24. The Hawkeyes continued to use their depth to control the See IOWA on page 2 X

MSU’s beloved dog, who has entertained Spartan fans during many MSU football halftime shows, will display his talents on a national stage this weekend. Z e ke t he Wonder Dog III will be featured on SunFoley day night ’s new episode of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” or AFV, at 7 p.m. on ABC. The weekly show features home-shot footage of kids, adults and animals during their most spontaneous and hilarious moments, according to the ABC website. “This is huge,” said Jim Foley, Zeke’s co-owner and a Holland, Mich., resident. “It’s the same as being on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’ when I was a kid. We’re just really happy about it.” Although Zeke has been featured on ESPN and the Big Ten Network, Foley said he is thrilled for Zeke’s appearance on AFV.

“It’s really cool for the students,” Foley said. “The students should be proud of this.” That sensation of pride Foley hopes students feel is exactly what kinesiology senior Michael Eby said he’ll experience when he sees one of his favorite Spartan stars on TV. “It’s kind of silly how (Spartans) love Zeke so much because he is a dog,” Eby said. “But we do love him, and that will definitely be a moment of Spartan pride
for me.” The footage will feature Zeke at the Spartan Nation tailgate for the MSU football game against the University of Nebraska. Foley said he wants to keep the content of the video a surprise for viewers. “Let’s just say what you’re going to see would make (MSU linebacker) Max Bullough proud,” he said. See ZEKE on page 2 X

News brief
MSU professor animal neglect case moving to circuit court College of Veterinary Medicine assistant professor Patricia Schenck faces animal neglect charges in Clinton County Circuit Court after she opted out of a Thursday hearing at the Clinton County District Court. The hearing was scheduled to determine if enough evidence is present to take the case to trial, Clinton County Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Hayes said. Schenck faces charges for the neglect of 10 or more animals, including dogs and cats, Hayes said. A December search of her home found 17 dogs and two cats living in feces. One dog was euthanized with Schenck’s consent and the additional 16 dogs currently are at the Clinton County Animal Control Shelter. Two cats were not initially taken because police could not find them. ISABELLA SHAYA | STATENEWS.COM

Although DNA evidence was not usable in Brandon’s case, the law opens doors in other cold cases where DNA might be involved. David Foran, the director of the forensic science program at MSU, said modern DNA science and databases allow crime labs to identify suspects long after a crime was committed. “For biological evidence, if it has been stored correctly — mostly meaning cold or dry and hasn’t been allowed to degrade at all — it’s been easy to go back

Ten to 15 years ago, Foran said the DNA sciences were not as sensitive as they are today. Now, labs will routinely run the DNA profile through the database before they even have identified a suspect. Former state Rep. Mark Meadows, D-East Lansing, collaborated with Jones on the new law. “I don’t know what kind of effect that it will have,” Meadows said. “(But) it changes the way that we operate in terms of these very serious crimes. I think that’s a good thing.” Close to home Meadows, who was East Lansing’s mayor at the time of Brandon’s death, said the city hasn’t forgotten the tragedy from 12

Only time will tell if the law will have a large impact on the East Lansing community, Mitchell said, but it could result in bringing justice to cases that fall under the new law. Even students unfamiliar with Brandon personally are expressing thanks the law passed. “It is good to know … that this is going to be there for future crimes,” political theory and genetics senior Dylan Miller said. “Hopefully none of those crimes ever happen again.” Remembering and moving on Although Shawn D’Annunzio has not heard an “I’m sorry” from

Meadows said he hopes the law will never be used, but it is important to have. “You can never bring Brandon D’Annunzio back, and that’s a tragedy,” Meadows said. “But we can cure the problem.”
“I think the clip is funny and it’s cool that other MSU fans will also get a chance to see him on national TV.” Keedy said AFV chooses the videos to appear on TV through a process beginning with a person uploading a video to their website. The screeners then watch each video and give it a rating. The highest-rated clips are given to the show’s writers to watch. The writers then decide whether or not to put it on the show.
“Once we got the final rundown of the show this past Monday, I was very happy to find out that Zeke made it on the show,” Keedy said. While the Foley’s are eager to see their dog appear on TV again, they are more excited for students to see Zeke. “We get to take care of him, and we’re blessed for that,” Jim Foley said. “But Zeke is the students’ dog.”

Lansing and it holds everyone to a standard — something he considers a plus. Community and Economic Development Administrator Lori Mullins said the rule was meant to control overconsumption of alcohol and attract quality restaurants, but it’s unclear whether either have been accomplished. “We’ve had interest from people who said they’ve wanted to open a place where they could have shows, performances, and they would just like to serve beer and wine,” Mullins said. “That wouldn’t be allowed because that
wouldn’t fall under our definition of a restaurant.” Councilmember Kevin Beard, who voted to keep the reporting requirement, said he didn’t think the requirement is burdensome, but added it’s not perfect. “If there is a problem here, it’s with our underlying definition of a restaurant,” he said. Beard said council should revisit the 50/50 rule, although in a previous interview East Lansing Mayor Diane Goddeeris said that likely won’t happen anytime soon. “We’re going to have to quantify this more than it has been,” Beard said. Joe Bell, owner of the The Peanut Barrel, said debates about the rule should continue. “I think that it is a law that is worth continued discussion,” he said . “It has its good points and its bad (points.)”

the game in the Hawkeyes’ favor with 4:23 remaining in the half. A late foul on a 3-pointer attempt by Harris sent him to the free throw line. Harris drained all three of his shots to tie the game with a minute remaining. A breakaway dunk by Dawson once again gave the Spartans the lead with 48 seconds to play. Lansing native Anthony Clemmons missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer to allow MSU to escape Iowa City, Iowa with the win. “It was a hell of a fistfight and we finally won one,” Izzo said. “When you win one like this on the road, it’s worth a game and a half.”

After leading police during the Cedar Fest riots and regulating campus parking, MSU police Assistant Chief Mike Rice is leaving his beloved department to pursue his other passion: financial advising. Rice, an MSU alumnus, enjoyed a retirement party with a group of about 100 friends, family and fellow officers Thursday at Kellogg Center after 43 years, four months and seven days with the MSU Police Department. Rice will begin part-time financial advising Monday. “Walking away from this career is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do,” Rice told a crowded room as his voice cracked and he fought back tears. The party included two presentations by the MSU Police Honor Guard and framed letters of gratitude from Gov. Rick Snyder and the state of Michigan. Family and fellow officers, such as Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth and MSU police Chief Jim Dunlap, praised his cool demeanor in tense situations. “It’s very tough shoes to fill,” MSU police Lt. Matt Merony said. “Mike is just always there when you need him (and) his door is

always open.” Dunlap said Rice’s departure feels like a member of the family is leaving. “A lot of people can make one big case, one big arrest,” Dunlap said. “Mike was there everyday.” Dunlap said the position of assistant chief will not be filled to save resources for the department. Rice’s previous duties will be split between two deputy chiefs. Fred Poston, dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and former vice pres-
ident of finance and operations, said he will miss Rice’s dry humor the most, but will remember him for all of his hard work for the department and the university. Poston and other attendees said Rice has been a constant worker, a mentor, a financial guru and a calm mediator. Rice gave a note of advice as he said his final goodbye to the department. “It’s important to understand the university doesn’t happen by magic,” he said. “Anyone that goes to this school is very fortunate.”

EVIDENCE OF SELF-DEFENSE IN STABBING
As a deadly flu strain hits Michigan, pharmacies in the East Lansing area are dealing with increasing demand for vaccinations. CVS Pharmacy, 240 M.A.C. Ave., did not have any available shots as of about 3:30 p.m. Thursday, but the store expects to receive a shipment today. CVS Pharmacy distributes shots on a walk-in basis. Kroger, 921 W. Holmes Rd., in Lansing, had about 40 shots available as of about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, and the store expects to receive more. Currently, Olin Student Health Center has enough flu vaccines to cover scheduled appointments and all interested students, clinical nursing administrator Dawn Boechler said. To schedule an appointment for a vaccination at the Olin Student Health Center or a neighborhood clinic, call 517353-4660.
Recently found evidence shows MSU freshman Yanlin Li might have acted in self-defense when he reportedly stabbed three other students Sept. 13, 2012 during a street fight in Lansing, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III said Thursday. As of Thursday, Li was listed as a student in MSU’s online directory. Dunnings said that Li, a Chinese international student, might have had trouble expressing himself to police “because of language barriers.” Dunnings said the charges were dropped, and police will investigate further before any new charges are made. East Lansing Police Capt. Jeff Murphy previously said Li likely found where the students were going after a restaurant confrontation and came to assault them later that night. DARCIE MORAN

WORD ON THE STREET
T
here is a sense among many in our culture that the wealthier you are, the greedier you are, and the wealthy don’t pay “their fair share.” “The system is rigged,” said U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. People line the streets to protest the 1 percent and their corrupting ways. People such as Michael Moore — a member of the 1 percent — shout the idea through megaphones that the wealth must be redistributed from top to bottom. What interests me, however, is whether these people put their own money where their mouths are. It hardly is a secret the political left are the ones calling for the redistribution of wealth, while those to the right typically advocate free markets and self-reliance. Based on these two views of the world, would one not expect the left to contribute a greater share of their income to charity? And wouldn’t one expect those on the right to be just a little stingier and to contribute less to those in need? This, interestingly enough, is not the case. According to data provided by The Chronicle of Philanthropy — a newspaper focusing on events surrounding philanthropic enterprise — the eight most charitable states in the U.S. are red states: Utah, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Idaho, Georgia and Arkansas. Furthermore, they found the seven least charitable states voted democrat: New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Wisconsin. In fact, 11 of the 12 least charitable states were victories claimed by President Barack Obama. There are other examples of notable politicians whose tax returns show a shocking lack of generosity. For instance, according to abcnews.

As the semester gets underway, students prepare for the long road ahead. Here’s a look at what some students are expecting for the semester ahead. “I’m really excited for my CEP class, it relates to my major and it’s something I’m interested in.”
“I’m kind of nervous to have one of my professors, I’ve heard he’s very tough and he grades really hard.”
Kaylie Quimby education freshman
Caitlyn Ramsey electrical engineering sophomore
“I generally schedule harder classes for the spring semester because the fall gets too chaotic with events, football and tailgating. Andrea Butler packaging sophomore
“It’s going to be a lot of work. Homework-wise, it’s already getting packed on. My goal is just to get through the semester.”
“I think this semester will be like any other semester. I just changed my major to neuroscience so my classes (this semester) are more neuroscience geared.”

MSU GYMNASTICS RECRUITS JOINED BY TWO-TIME REGIONAL CHAMPION
Freshman goaltender Jake Hildebrand awaits a face-off in the Spartans’ defensive zone Dec. 30, 2012, at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Michigan defeated the Spartans, 5-2, during the Great Lakes Invitational third place game.
The MSU gymnastics team increased the number of recruits in their 2013 class to five with the addition of Traverse City, Mich., native Holly Ryan, the MSU athletic department announced Wednesday. The Traverse City Central senior was named regional champion of both vault and balance beam in 2011, and has been the captain of her gymnastics team, Waters Edge Gymnastics, for five years. “Holly is extremely talented and will add the needed depth to our freshman class,” MSU gymnastics coach Kathie Klages said in a release. “She is outstanding on beam, and will vie for a lineup spot immediately. She is a very special recruit as she is the first recruit in which I also coached her mom.” Kira Frederick (Orange Park, Fla.), Elena Lagoski (Kingston, Pa.), Jessica Shostak (Elmhurst, Ill.) and Jane Winstead (Oak Hill, Va.) round out the 2013 class.

MEN’S SOCCER ASSISTANT COACH IN TOP 15
Icers take on big series against Notre Dame By Alyssa Girardi girardi5@msu.edu THE STATE NEWS ■■
As the losses continue to pile up for the MSU hockey team, the Spartans are looking at this weekend’s home series against one of the country’s top teams as an opportunity to turn the season around. No. 2 Notre Dame (14-5-0 overall, 10-1-0-0 CCHA) will travel to East Lansing for a twogame series on Friday and Saturday to give MSU (5-12-3 overall, 4-9-1-0 CCHA) its second home CCHA weekend this season. “We have a good opponent … they’re coming here for two games and this can really, I feel, be a turning point, especially if we can get two wins out of this,” sophomore forward Brent Darnell said. “It can really send some good momentum our way.” The first time the teams met this season was Dec. 7-8, 2012 at Notre Dame, in which the Fighting Irish came out with a pair of wins. Despite two goals from Darnell the first night, Notre Dame
“When we played down there, the first game was close and the second game was closer than the score would indicate, in my mind.” Chris Forfar, senior forward
prevailed with a 3-2 win. The goal differential was much steeper the following night, as Notre Dame steamrolled MSU, 5-1. The latter part of that series was the last time MSU junior goaltender Will Yanakeff saw the net, and freshman netminder Jake Hildebrand has been given the nod since. “When we played down there, the first game was close and the second game was closer than the score would indicate, in my mind,” senior forward Chris Forfar said. “They’re a great team. They have great goaltenders, great forwards, skilled forwards and they’re going to give us all we can handle. I think it will elevate the level of play that we as a team have.” MSU is looking for redemption in this weekend’s series, but a solid Fighting Irish roster
stands in its way. Notre Dame leads the CCHA in conference standings, and also is the top-ranked offensive team in the league. Its team defense is good enough to place the Fighting Irish at second in the CCHA and third in the country. Notre Dame goaltender Steven Summerhays completes the puzzle, as he is second in the CCHA in goals against average (1.38), tied with Hildebrand for second in save percentage (.942) and first in winning percentage (.889). “They’re big, strong, fast, skilled and physical,” head coach Tom Anastos said. “They’re a good team; they’re one of the top in the country. We’ll have our hands full in that regard. More importantly than that, Michigan State has to leave it all on the ice every single shift,

and if we can do that, it’s easier to live with the results. That’s where we are in our program today and we have to make sure that’s very consistent.” Matchups between the two teams always prove to be intense battles, and the Spartans are eager to take the ice and start the second half of the season on the right foot. “We’ve been getting good crowds lately, we can feed off of that a little bit,” Darnell said. “Even at football when Notre Dame comes to town it’s a big game. We understand what we need to do and we just have to go out and do it.”
College Soccer News released its annual list of the top 15 assistant coaches in men’s college soccer Jan. 9 and MSU’s Kylie Stannard graced the list. Stannard has worked as assistant coach for the Spartans for four years, and has coached in three NCAA tournaments at MSU — 2009, 2010 and 2012. He also had the opportunity to help coach the team to a Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2012. The Spartans finished the 2012 season with a 12-10-1 overall record, and a 3-3-0 record in the Big Ten. MSU made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season before falling to Notre Dame, 3-0, in South Bend, Ind.
