Neuroscience senior Kate Bruce poses for a photo with her service dog, Cadence, on March 14 at the American Legion at 2949 S Waverly Highway in Lansing. Bruce and Cadence have been together for seven years. PHOTO: KELLY VANFRANKENHUYZEN BY IAN WENDROW IWENDROW@STATENEWS.COM

Cadence sits on the floor and pants, her tail wagging ever so slightly. The fur at the edge of her face is starting to gray slightly and she’s keen on laying down if given the chance. She passively responds to others around her except for her owner, Kate Bruce, to whom she immediately reacts when Bruce calls her name in a sing-song voice.

“She can pull things away from my head that I may hurt myself on. One time when I had a seizure, I was in a classroom and she had to drag a desk away from me that I was repeatedly hitting my head on.” Katharine Bruce, neuroscience senior and Cadence’s owner

By all accounts, she’s a typical 9-year-old chocolate lab. As a service dog for Bruce, however, Cadence has made a world of difference. “She is very important – she’s saved my life many times,” Bruce said. Bruce was a member of the civilian affairs division of the U.S. Army before she attended MSU, where she is finishing her senior year in the Neuroscience Program. Her role while in the military was what she described as “on the side of the war fighting for hearts and minds.” She spoke fondly of the work she and the rest of her unit conducted in Iraq. Not only did she help provide tangible services such as wells to affected civilians, she also participated in teaching programs meant to empower the Iraqis she worked with. It was a good deed that would be repaid in an unfortunate accident for Bruce, which left her with a closed head injury, brain trauma and a condition that has plagued her with epilepsy and seizures. The accident took place in 2006 and it would take several months before doctors diagnosed Bruce’s condition as severe enough to require a 2

T H E STAT E NE WS

service animal. By February 2009, after close to two years of training, Cadence was able to go home with Bruce to begin working with her. Cadence has been a faithful companion ever since. Her most important task, Bruce said, is to roll Bruce on her side in the event of a seizure. Seizures have a tendency to induce vomiting, which if it pools up in the person’s throat as they lie on their back can potentially choke and suffocate them. “She can pull things away from my head that I may hurt myself on,” Bruce said. “One time when I had a seizure I was in a classroom and she had to drag a desk away from me that I was repeatedly hitting my head on.” In early February, it was Cadence who started needing help. “She wasn’t drinking as much as she usually does,” Bruce said. “When I would get up to go somewhere, usually she’s up right away and right next to me waiting to follow me out the door. But she would just kind of not want to get up, she wasn’t as interested in going with me places.” After a three-day stay with MSU’s Oncology Service Center at the College of Veterinary Medicine, it was determined that Cadence was suffering from a condition known as chylothorax. Caused by a problem with the thoracic duct — an organ that collects lymph fluid, which helps rid the body of toxins — Cadence’s chest and abdomen was filling up with lymph fluid. Large shaved patches on Cadence’s side are the result of the surgery she had on March 1 to drain the fluid and fix the issues with her thoracic duct. Crowd-funding became a necessity to help pay for medical costs, which ran up to approximately $6,000 for Cadence’s surgery. Cadence’s GoFundMe page was able to meet that goal in 21 days, with some help from the Lansing chapter of the Disabled American Veterans Charity, or DAV. “My daughter told me about Katie and her dog, so I brought it up at the next meeting,” Ron Weinstein, treasurer and service officer for the DAV’s Lansing branch, said. “The community responded immensely and wanted to do everything we could.” Read more at statenews.com.

With St. Patrick’s Day being known for inciting a party atmosphere on campus, MSU police Capt. Doug Monette and East Lansing police Lt. Scott Wriggelsworth gave The State News some tips about how to stay safe during the festivities. Monette said the number one thing to keep in PAGE 11 mind is how alcohol can affect judgment and make people do things they normally wouldn’t. “I always remind people how important it is to be careful what they drink and how much of “The apartment house that my they drink,” Monette said. “It’s easy to drink mother grew up in Poland is still itsomething with more alcohol in it than you standing. The farm where my thought.” Wriggelsworth said students begin drinking father grew up on is probably early on St. Patrick’s day, which he said can easstill standing, but I don’t want ily get out of control if students don’t pay attento go back there because I think tion to hydrating and pacing themselves. He said it’s imperative for students to know their limits. it would be too painful to see Using the buddy system is another important someone else living there.” tip Monette gave. Because of the large number of people who will be on campus and off, it’s Lev Raphael, MSU assistant professor, on visiting his parents’ last homes in Germany necessary to stay with friends, especially as day See page 6 turns to night, he said. As for travel, Monette said using reputable cab companies or CATA is another way to stay safe during the rowdy holiday.

Just recently, East Lansing police reported two instances of criminal sexual conduct perpetrated by drivers of a ride share company. CATA will provide free transportation Thursday for people who need sober rides home through their Entertainment Express trolley system. Rides will begin at 4 p.m. and will run every 15 minutes until 3 a.m. To catch a ride, students can board a trolley at any of the Entertainment Express bus stops along Grand River Avenue between downtown Lansing and East Lansing. Wriggelsworth said the majority of incidents police respond to on St. Patrick’s Day are alcohol-related, such as disorderly conduct and open intoxication. As for house parties, Wriggelsworth said it is only the parties that are out of control that draw police attention. “If there are fights or public urination or any of that, we’ll be there,” he said. “If it’s just some friends drinking, listening to music, there’s no issue.” Monette said MSUPD traditionally does staff more officers for St. Patrick’s Day, but will treat it like any other day. “This is just another day for us,” he said. “Students just have to be smart like they usually are.”

McCartney Irish Dance school brings tradition to East Lansing BY ALEXIS SARGENT ASARGENT@STATENEWS.COM

Aside from green beer and shamrock decorations, St. Patrick’s Day is being celebrated by many in the East Lansing area through the classic tradition of Irish dancing. McCartney Irish Dance is an Irish dance school that was established in East Lansing in January of 2016. The academy opened July 2015 and subleased from different locations before finding its permanent home in January. The school offers a multitude of classes including drop-in classes, beginner classes, intermediate classes, drill classes and Ceili dancing. There are classes starting for students who are three years old and spanning to adult-age dancers. Meghan Scott, formerly McCartney, a well-distinguished Irish dancer herself, is the owner of the Irish dance studio. OPENING THE STUDIO

Showtimes for March 17-19

At a young age, Scott realized the area of East Lansing would benefit from an Irish dance studio. As a child growing up in the Lansing area, Scott had to drive hours to find proper Irish dance instruction. “There has been a need in this area for a long time for an Irish dance school,” Scott said. “It became obvious that I needed to start this school, so I just went for it.” After finishing college and teaching Irish dance for more than 15 years, Scott moved back to her hometown of Lansing to open McCartney Irish Dance. In the two months it has been open, her intuition has proved to be very successful.

THURSDAY, MARCH 1 7, 2 01 6

Meghan Scott, director of the studio and dance instructor, changes to her soft shoes during a dance class at McCartney Irish Dance studio March 15 in East Lansing.

“When I started the classes, I had no idea how many people I would actually get, but I’ve been open for two months and we have 60 dancers already,” Scott said. “It’s a very underground world, but there are a lot of people that do Irish dancing.” Scott currently teaches all of the classes at the studio, but is looking to hire more instructors because the studio has become busier than she initially expected it to be. Scott is currently working on the certification so her students can perform Irish dancing at a competitive level, but she is also focused on the art side of the dance. “I love to be able to mix music and dance together and I feel like that is the way to go with Irish dance,” Scott said. “Irish dance really does tell a story, and that is very important to me as well.” SCOTT IN IRISH DANCING

As a child, Scott was mentored by an MSU student who started teaching Irish dancing lessons at IM Sports-Circle. “It was right on MSU’s campus that I started learning Irish dancing,” Scott said. In 1998, John Heinzman, owner of the renowned Ardán Academy of Irish Dance, started coming weekly to the Lansing area to teach children the art of Irish dancing. Scott found herself being more and more involved in Irish dancing, especially the competitive side of the dancing. She started training with Heinzman individually and trained with him throughout college. Scott was very successful and found a passion for Irish dance that eventually brought her to the World Irish Dancing Championships. “It was a great experience for sure, pretty amazing,” Scott said. “Thousands of dancers make it to the world championships, but (that’s) only a small percentage. And even that small percentage is coming from all over the world.” Scott has since retired from competitive Irish dancing. IRISH DANCE HISTORY

Scott emphasized that Irish dance is different from other forms because it begins suddenly and with energy. “There’s a lot of energy exerted when you are Irish dancing,” Scott said. “You are doing big jumps right off the bat.” A custom of Irish dancing is also to keep one’s arms at their sides during the entirety of the dance. There are several forms of customs that are important to Irish dance, such as the different moves incorporated into the dancing. “Some of the moves have been around for hundreds of years, but what is really cool about Irish dance is that it is not strictly traditional,” Scott said. “While we appreciate the tradition and we carry that on, we are also constantly innovating the style.” There are new moves that are constantly being introduced into Irish dance even while the original and more traditional moves are also being used. Irish dancing incorporates two types of shoes — hard shoe and soft shoe. Soft shoes are similar to a ballet type of movement, where females showcase more lyrical movements while males perform with exciting jumps and athletic moves. Hard shoe Irish dancing is more rhythmic in nature. This type of dancing illustrates the unique rhythms and sounds with the dancer’s feet. “It’s almost more like an instrument than a style of dance,” Scott said. “It’s combined the two things.” One specialty type of Irish dancing is called Ceili dancing. Ceili is a traditional style of Irish group dancing. Ceili dances are passed down from generation to generation and are a social form of dancing. “While so many aspects of Irish dance changes over time, Ceili dances are super traditional,” Scott said.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE DANCERS

Ashley Salyers, 18, changes to her soft shoes during a dance class at McCartney Irish Dance studio March 15 in East Lansing.

Dancer Ashley Salyers has been studying Irish dance for five years, and finds that dancing at McCartney Irish Dance helps her to connect with her heritage. “I’m Irish and it’s my culture,” Salyers said. “It feels like I am being a part of Ireland, so it is really awesome for me.” Ashley Salyers’ mother is very happy to see her daughter celebrating Ireland through her dancing as well. “It’s a very proud feeling for me,” Renee Salyers said. “Irish dancing serves as a great connection for Ashley. She’s connecting to our family’s roots and it’s inspired her to learn more about our culture.” Scott said she believes there is so much for her students to gain from Irish dancing, including a great form of exercise, lasting friendships, teamwork skills and the ability to overcome challenges. “Meghan is one of the most gifted teachers,” dancer parent Katherine Mattson said. “She really captures how to correct a student without tearing them down, and isolate the problem and give them the knowledge on how to fix it. She is a great teacher, very gentle and encouraging.” Student Catherine Russell has been dancing for only nine months, but said she feels heavily inspired by her dance teacher, Scott. “Meghan is an outstanding teacher,” Russell said. “She gives constructive criticism and is never overly harsh with us. It’s more like a gentle nudge towards being better.” THE BIG SHOW

McCartney Irish Dance will be producing a spring show May 7 at the Hannah Community Center auditorium in East Lansing. The show will begin at 7 p.m. and will last approximately one hour including a brief intermission. “This show will be a culmination of all of our work over the year,” Scott said. “Some of these dances that we’ve been working on are really telling a story, and it’s more to me than just a recital. It’s a production.” Pre-sale tickets will go on sale March 28 for $12 and prices will be raised to $15 April 23. For more information on McCartney Irish Dance, visit their website or Facebook page.

As the child of two Holocaust survivors, author and MSU assistant professor in literature Lev Raphael said he grew up surrounded by absence. Almost all of his extended family was murdered or died of starvation during the Holocaust, except a handful of relatives in his native New York City, Canada and Israel. Raphael said he grew up with little record of the extended family the Nazis took from him. Most of his family’s photos were lost in the chaos and his parents were, for the most part, unwilling to discuss their painful past. “Our family history had, in a sense, been destroyed,” Raphael said. For a child of survivors, the Holocaust’s wounds breed a sense of isolation difficult for outsiders to fully comprehend. “It was like growing up on another planet,” Raphael said. “That feeling of feeling very different and very alien.” He said his parents experiences gave him a different, possibly more fearful, outlook on life. “You grow up knowing from an early age that the world can be filled with mass murderers, and that those murderers killed your family,” he said. The lack of an extended family was a continual reminder of how he was different from his peers. “I was always aware that my non-Jewish friends and even some of my Jewish friends had extended families,” Raphael said. “I didn’t know what an extended family was.” For Raphael, becoming a writer was a means of addressing his perceived lack of roots. “I created my own life in literature,” Raphael said. “I became an author, and authors create their own worlds.” Becoming an educator was also a means of continuing a family legacy. He said many family members on his mother’s side were some type of educator through the generations. Peter Berg, head of Special Collections for the MSU Libraries, said Raphael’s range of 6

T H E STAT E NE WS

works set him apart. Berg included Raphael’s works in the library’s Michigan author’s collection. “He has a wide breadth of interests and he has written on them well,” Berg said. Raphael’s productivity further sets him apart, having written 25 books throughout the course of his career. “He is highly productive, that is definitely something that distinguishes him in all the different fields he writes in,” David Stowe, professor and interim chair of MSU’s English Department, said. His work as a writer and educator eventually took him to Germany, a country he once held in serious contempt because of his family’s Holocaust experiences. “To me, it was the Death Star,” Raphael said. “It was 80 million Darth Vaders.” Though he was anxious about going there, he said the time was right. “There are moments in your life when a door opens and you think, ‘it’s time to go through,’” he said. He visited Germany a number of times in the years following his first visit, but he said his first time was the most special. “I was overwhelmed by finally being some place I swore I would never go to, but as a writer I was just noting everything and taking it all in,” Raphael said. Still, his visits to Germany did not completely salve the burning pain he felt the Holocaust inflicted on his family. “The apartment house that my mother grew up in Poland is still standing,” Raphael said. “The farm where my father grew up on is probably still standing, but I don’t want to go back there because I think it would be too painful to see someone else living there.” These visits formed the basis for his 2009 book, “My Germany: A Jewish Writer Returns to the World His Parents Left Behind,” in which he discusses his relationship and reconciliation with the country. As a whole, Raphael said he is grateful he visited Germany. “To finally go there made a huge difference,” he said. “It made Germany real.” T H U R S DAY, M A R C H 1 7, 2 01 6

Prosecutor faces 20-year sentence for crimes involving prostitutes BY STEPHEN OLSCHANSKI SOLSCHANSKI@STATENEWS.COM

At about 8 a.m. Monday morning, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III was leaving a local coffee shop in Lansing when he was met by officers of the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department. The encounter wasn’t a happenstance meeting of colleagues. The officers placed Dunnings under arrest for prostitution-related offenses. During an investigation into a prostitution ring in Michigan, the FBI in conjunction with the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department uncovered Dunnings allegedly paid for sex with multiple women in three different Michigan counties — Ionia, Clinton and Ingham — during the course of five years, paying thousands of dollars. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department charged Dunnings with 15 criminal charges in three counties. Schuette and Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth both called Dunnings’ actions a betrayal of the oath that Dunnings took when he became prosecutor. Schuette also said he believes Dunnings should resign and added Dunnings was more than just a client.

“We’re in a real bind in Ingham County when it’s the prosecutor who’s doing it. Who do you go to for prosecution?” Gene Wriggelsworth, Ingham County Sheriff

“This not like going into Barnes and Noble and buying something, a client or customer, this is an incidence where an officer of the law, an officer of the court, a prosecutor in the Capitol city of Michigan, has a responsibility to enforce the law, report crimes, fight crimes, but he did just the opposite,” Schuette said during the press conference. “He did nothing, this is not just being a customer.” Dunnings’ 15 charges include multiple counts of engaging in sex with a prostitute and neglect of duty. The heaviest charge, is one count of pandering, or enticing a woman to become a prostitute, which could carry a 20-year sentence. “I have worked with Stuart Dunnings while I have served as Attorney General,” Schuette said during the press conference. “I am saddened that an elected official who holds a special trust from voters and is the chief prosecutor in our capital city would allegedly engage in conduct causing felony and misdemeanor charges to be filed.”

After serving nearly 20 years as prosecutor for the county, Dunnings garnered reputation for being tough on prostitution, something Wriggelsworth confirmed over the phone Wednesday. Nevertheless, having worked alongside and campaigned with Dunnings, Wriggelsworth said he had no clue that Dunnings was engaging or could have engaged in prostitution. Dunnings is 63 years old and is currently the highest paid Ingham County official, earning $132,000 a year, according to the Lansing State Journal. The rumors of Dunnings’ involvement in prostitution began years ago, Wriggelsworth said. “About eight to ten years ago we started hearing what I call ‘locker room’ talk,” Wriggelsworth said. “Nobody could ever say when, who, where, that kind of stuff. “It was just, ‘we hear Dunnings (is doing this) we heard that’ and that’s all it was and I’m not one that’s going to impugn somebody’s reputation based on some inmate that’s going to come in and shoot his mouth off to try to get out of a charge.” It would take allegations from six women involved in the prostitution ring investigated by the FBI before the sheriff’s department could move forward with the allegations. “We’re in a real bind in Ingham County when it’s the prosecutor who’s doing it,” Wriggelsworth said during the press conference Monday. “Who do you go to for prosecution?” Wriggelsworth contacted Schuette in order to move forward with charges against the prosecutor. The allegations of Dunnings’ involvement in prostitution were brought forth by five prostitutes and one woman, who Dunnings allegedly pandered to become a prostitute. The names of the prostitutes were not given in the affidavit but only referred to as witnesses. Dunnings allegedly solicited prostitutes through two websites, Escort Vault and backpage.com. Through Escort Vault, Dunnings allegedly met witness one, W-1, where the two began a commercial sex relationship during the course of five years beginning in 2010. Dunnings allegedly met with W-1 three to four times a week and he paid her hundreds of dollars for sex. The affidavit describes years of alleged sexual crimes and alleged he paid for certain expenses for the women. In 2010, witness six, or W-6, met Dunnings during a custody dispute. W-6 reached out to Dunnings for help with the case. Allegedly, he used the power of his office to entice her to become a prostitute by offering her $600 every two weeks for sex. As of Wednesday, Dunnings has been arraigned in every county so far except for 65A District Court in Clinton County. However, Dunnings did spend a night in Ingham County jail but was released on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond.

Security cameras debated as a fix to stolen laundry BY SOUICHI TERADA STERADA@STATENEWS.COM

Stealing and wearing a stranger’s clothes seems like an odd idea, but stolen laundry is a constant issue many students face while using residence hall laundry facilities. Often times, students will leave their laundry unattended while the washer or dryer are going, giving a thief the perfect opportunity to steal someone’s clothes. Having no security cameras in the residence hall laundry rooms makes trying to find the people responsible for the thefts even harder. The university has looked into adding cameras to some capacity, Ashley Chaney, assistant director of communications at MSU Residence Education and Housing Services, REHS, said. But there’s also the issue of privacy in installing equipment, especially something like a video camera. “(The university) is very selective about where (it has) cameras in the residence halls,” Chaney said. “These are students’ homes.” There’s also the fact that privacy should be respected, especially in a residence hall. Some students might be unhappy with the fact that there will be footage of them somewhere like the laundry room. But the positives might outweigh the negatives in a case like this. Some students haven’t expressed any problems with the idea of security cameras, if it means their belongings won’t be stolen. Biophysics junior Charlie Cox is one student who is in favor of the cameras. “I think anyone with a brain would realize (the camera) is there for security reasons,” Cox said. “Not to spy on other people. I wouldn’t have a problem with it.” While stolen laundry in dorms isn’t a pressing need, there have been more than a few occasions of such

“I feel like it’s just a laundry room so there should be cameras in there. To have a camera in the laundry room to make sure things don’t get stolen, (the idea) makes sense.” Pili Gyasi, human biology freshman

theft occurring. Chaney said just like any other incidents in the residence halls, it’s recommended a student report it to the front desk. Pili Gyasi, a human biology freshman, has dealt with stolen laundry multiple times. Gyasi said the problem with reporting is that there’s not much that can be done after her clothes were stolen. In terms of the actual idea of laundry room cameras, Gyasi said she is totally for it. “I feel like it’s just a laundry room, so there should be cameras in there,” Gyasi said. “To have a camera in the laundry room to make sure things don’t get stolen, (the idea) makes sense.” Some tactics students can use to prevent such theft are simple. Students are advised to do homework while waiting for their laundry to finish. Killing two birds with one stone can be a productive alternative, rather than leaving belongings unattended. The university will most likely not look to add security cameras any time soon. For now, what it comes down to is making sure people are aware of their surroundings. Looking out for other fellow students is also a huge improvement. “It really goes down to the community and being respectful,” Chaney said. “Most of the cases we have received when items are left unattended for a period of time.”

MSU’s defense is clicking on every cylinder BY JOSH THALL JTHALL@STATENEWS.COM

While much has been made of the phenomenal scoring and offensive numbers MSU has consistently put up throughout the season, the team also had tremendous success on the defensive end at times this year. But that was one of the areas of MSU’s game head coach Tom Izzo thought needed the most work heading into the Big Ten Tournament.

“Our coaches do a great job of preparing us, they’re always thinking ahead, they’re always improvising just like us and having us ready to play.” Denzel Valentine MSU senior guard

After falling to Purdue 82-81, MSU’s last loss, it was apparent MSU needed to buckle down on the defensive end of the court — and the team responded. The next four games saw MSU hold opponents to a fantastic 61.3 points per game while holding Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Penn State all to less than 40 percent shooting from the field. However, during the final two games of the season against Rutgers and Ohio State, Izzo saw the defense slip, something that worried him come the start of the postseason. MSU gave up 66 points to Rutgers on 46 percent shooting, including 41 points during the first half . Next MSU gave up 76 points to Ohio State during the regular season finale, which included allowing the Buckeyes to shoot 47 percent from the field and 48 percent from the 3-point line. But when the 3-point shooting of MSU went cold during the Big Ten Tournament, the MSU defense held strong and helped ensure an MSU Big Ten Tournament title. “Last week we were all talking about what happens if Bryn (Forbes) doesn’t shoot well, or I was bringing up to you that I don’t want to be a team that’s living by the three and dying by the three, and still our defense and rebounding has to be a staple, and I think it was a great example that he didn’t shoot well, we didn’t shoot necessarily really well, and we still found a way to beat quality teams,” Izzo said during a press conference Monday. Despite shooting 38 percent from beyond the arc, MSU held its three opponents to just an average of 59 points per game and just 12-of-48 from the 3-point line. MSU’s defense also held Maryland to one field goal during the

final 10 minutes of their Big Ten Tournament semifinal matchup and held Purdue without a basket for the final 3:39 of the Big Ten title game —In essence, when MSU needed a stop, it got one. “I think we showed that in crunch time we can lock down,” senior guard Bryn Forbes said, “Because they were saying we hadn’t had any close games and this, that and the other — I kind of knew we’d lock down if we had to.” Forbes shot 4-of-17 from long-range in the Big Ten Tournament, numbers that at the beginning of the season might have forced Izzo to sit his senior sharpshooter on the bench in favor of a better defender. “I mean, (Bryn Forbes) goes 1-for-6 from the three and we’ve

got him in there, and we’ve got him in there because he’s playing defense now,” Izzo said. “He’s communicating. He’s doing things,” Forbes said with the quick turnaround there isn’t much time to practice against the different defenses, making the film study much more important in preparing defensive game plans. Senior guard Denzel Valentine said the MSU coaches do a great job of preparing the players, making it easier for the team to be prepared defensively despite the short turnaround. “It is (hard), but not with our coaches,” Valentine said. “Our coaches do a great job of preparing us, they’re always thinking ahead, they’re always improvising just like us and having us ready to play.”

Second unit providing spark for Spartans BY RYAN SQUANDA RSQUANDA@STATENEWS.COM

For the majority of the 2015-16 season, the success of the MSU men’s basketball team has ridden on the shoulders of its stars. There has been Denzel Valentine’s stellar, season-for-the-ages play, Bryn Forbes’ red hot shooting and the rock solid double-double machine Matt Costello has been for the better part of the last two months. All of this has helped achieve a 29-5 record, a Big Ten Tournament championship and a No. 2 seed in this weekend’s upcoming NCAA Tournament. But for the past few weeks, it’s been MSU’s second unit of guys stepping up and giving the Spartans a boost, as was the case in the MSU’s Big Ten Tournament championship run. Senior forward Colby Wollenman, junior guard Alvin Ellis III and sophomores Marvin Clark Jr. and Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr. all had their moments in MSU’s run to the Big Ten Tournament championship. They provid-

ed the depth needed to win games in back-toback-back days. “It’s huge,” Costello said about the importance of the team’s depth after MSU defeated Purdue on Sunday. “If somebody goes down with injury, if somebody’s tired, if somebody’s playing bad, we can sub them in. And Alvin and Colby know their job and they took care of it today.” Early this season, MSU head basketball coach Tom Izzo constantly harped about finding a consistent rotation. But after seeing what his bench guys have given him as of late, he’s eating his words a little bit. “All the complaining I did and said I had to get my rotation down and all those things, we’ve actually done a pretty good job of uti-

lizing our guys, and it’s paying off now,” Izzo said. “It drove me nuts for a month, but shame on me, it’s actually been a pretty big plus for us in the way things are going now.” Nairn, who sat out for a stretch of seven games this season and returned to the team with a lesser role, said players stepping up is what a team should be all about. “Around this time, everybody’s got to be ready to play and what’s been so good for us, is been our depth and our bench,” Nairn said. “And I think guys got to continue to step up ... where we give (Denzel Valentine) a break sometimes. You know, that’s what a team is all about. You’ve got to have people to make shots. You’ve got to have people to defend. You’ve got to have this. You’ve got to have that. ...

Everybody can’t do everything. Everybody’s not going to be good at everything so we’ve just got to find guys who’s good at something and if you’re a role player, play your role to the best of your abilities.” MSU associate head coach Dwayne Stephens is one of two coaches on the MSU staff, along with assistant coach Dane Fife, tasked with getting the scout team ready for practice. He said guys like Wollenman and Ellis have done a fantastic job in that sense this season. “Those guys do an unbelievable job for us of simulating what the other team does,” Stephens said. “Sometimes they run the stuff better than the other team does. And for us that’s a great asset for us, because you can’t ask for more and what happens is, once you run that team’s stuff and you run it so well, you know it, so it’s easier for you to defend.” And as for when they get in the game and succeed, Stephens is extremely proud. “They want to contribute and they can contribute to our success,” Stephens said.

Local record store owner spreads childhood passion for vinyl records BY DANIELLE DUGGAN DDUGGAN@STATENEWS.COM

Small moments during the youth of The Record Lounge owner Heather Frarey are what ignited her undying love for music, she said. She has carried this passion with her and turned it into her own business, located at 111 Division St. in East Lansing.

‘‘Once you buy a record you can hear everything. You can hear all the instruments, you can hear every little thing in that record, even all of its little flaws.’’ Heather Frarey, The Record Lounge owner

“When I was young … my mom would go grocery shopping every other week, when I would come home from school there’d always be like five 45S (RPM records) laying on my bed, brand new,” Frarey said. “Sometimes she’d buy me a whole record, it just depended. And when I was old enough to buy my own music, that’s what I did.” While Frarey grew up playing guitar and violin, it was the 11 years she spent working at record stores that really gave her the idea to open a shop. After briefly quitting the record business, Frarey worked as a dental assistant in Lansing.

She suffered severe injuries from a motorcycle accident and was forced to quit her job in dentistry. The accident led her to consider new career options. She thought going back to her record store roots would be the best fit. On Jan. 2, 2008, The Record Lounge held its opening. Frarey said she is a big supporter of keeping vinyl alive and spoke highly of the listening experience. “Once you buy a record, you can hear everything,” Frarey said. “You can hear all the instruments, you can hear every little thing in that record, even all of its little flaws, you know, and I think that’s what gives it its character. I think that’s why people love it.” Frarey said she has seen a boom in record sales lately and hopes this growing popularity will last for at least 10-20 years. Frarey runs the shop with respect and the desire to help as priorities. “She’s the nicest person you will ever meet,” Ryan Horky, an employee at The Record Lounge, said. “There’s no one nicer than Heather.” While many record stores give off the vibe that employees are know-it-alls and speak to customers with an air of cockiness, Horky said Frarey strives for the opposite. “Heather, and by extension this store, is not like that,” Horky said. “If someone comes in and is like, ‘I’m just getting into records, can you help out?’ She’s like the first person to want to help and to be nice and to respect other people’s music tastes instead of being an elitist jerk.” From giving music recommendations to drop-

ping what she’s doing to sit and chat about music, Frarey makes it a priority to get to know her customers. Though she grew up listening to classic rock, she has an appreciation for the new indie artists. She said the hardest question one can ask her is to choose her all time favorite artist. “Music makes the world go ‘round honestly,”
