MSU Facility for Rare Isotope Beams located in Cyclotron lab thriving BY MILA MURRAY MMURRAY@STATENEWS.COM

MSU is the top school in the country for nuclear physics, according to U.S. News and World Report. It is the home of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, a research facility that impacts the Michigan economy by bringing in jobs and students to the area with opportunities and advancements. “FRIB really is going to be a world-renowned facility,” Chris Sullivan, a fifth-year graduate student who works at the FRIB, said. “I was just in a conference this last summer in Japan and it was a conference about nuclear astrophysics, we’re trying to better understand what the origin of all the elements are, and almost everybody was talking ... about how FRIB is known for our isotope beams and little East Lansing and Lansing, Michigan is going to be a game changer in actually solving this problem of where the elements originate.” According to a study released by Director of the Center of Economic Analysis Steven Miller, the FRIB, located at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, or NSCL, is creating an economic impact in measurable dollar returns. “It’s hardly necessary that every state or pub-

lic investment make a payback, but this is one of those cases where the state investment in this project actually returns more to the state government in actuated cost,” Miller said. “It’s generating $205 million in tax revenues over the course of the 32 years versus the $95 million that went into it.” One of the ways jobs and advancements are affected by MSU’s FRIB is in medical applications, for example MRI technology that would otherwise not be possible without public investment. “There was one application with the cyclotron that those isotopes actually go into a process that is used in medicine,” Miller said. “And that’s one of the key areas where we would see the commercialization of the outcome from the FRIB. Other areas are possible, the sky is the limit.” When harvesting isotopes from leftover beams used in experiments, first-year graduate student and FRIB employee Paige Abel said some of the isotopes go toward medical applications, the most well-known being PET imaging technology. Hospital PET scans can be used to detect cancers, but current research is going toward more targeted therapy. “PET scans are currently being done with radioactive isotopes,” Abel said. “But the ther-

apy for cancer is still heavily under research, so that would be a really helpful thing about being able to harvest these isotopes because the research is ongoing.” Abel works in one of the different research groups available for graduate students at FRIB, ranging from experimental to theoretical, either chemistry-oriented or physics-oriented. “It makes Michigan, especially Michigan State University, a much more attractive place for students, especially graduate students, that want to focus in on this type of area of research,” Miller said. “As part of a graduate program here in the Agriculture, Food, and Resource Economics, I recognize the strength that a department has when recruiting graduate students and how important those graduate student are to facilitating further research in that department.” Sullivan, unlike Abel who studies chemistry, focuses on the physics side of FRIB. He looks at different nuclei to aid in supernova research and utilizes computational aspects to find these nuclei by running simulations on MSU’s supercomputer, one of the top 500 supercomputers in the world. “This is actually a really important interplay between FRIB and MSU’s high performance computing center because like I said, we really need to be able to run these astrophysical simulations so

we can understand where to direct our experimental attention,” Sullivan said. “Once we know where to direct our experimental attention, with FRIB there’s going to be huge amounts of data.” Another economical impact is bringing jobs to the area to continue the construction on the FRIB’s interior. Sullivan said the new accelerators, which have never been built before, must be designed by technical staff from all around the world. “On the inside, there’s still a lot of really impressive people that wouldn’t of been here otherwise working on building a world class accelerator,” Sullivan said. The FRIB is attached to the NSCL building on Shaw Lane, and though FRIB has not quite finished its construction, it has already created significant impacts. “Having this high performance computing center and this world renowned science facility together, I think really is going to make East Lansing a prime target for young career professionals who are looking to get their foot into the tech industry,” Sullivan said. The state of Michigan invested $94.5 million into the project and are already making more in tax revenue. “We know by being on the cutting edge of that technology,” Miller said. “We make Michigan greater or a more attractive place for industries.” Graduate student Paige Abel explains processes of an automated water chamber on March 21 at Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.

The record shop will celebrate its 40th anniversary this September, owner Dave Bernath said, but the building’s other tenants haven’t been around more than roughly 10 years at the most. “When you start a business, you don’t know whether it’s going to fail or succeed,” Bernath said. “(Campus Town Mall has) had, I don’t know, like 50, 70 different businesses come and go in this building.” Bernath said this year’s business turnover is typical in East Lansing. “Places come and go all the time, they’ve been coming and going,” Bernath said. “People come back to our store and say, ‘There’s nothing in East Lansing I recognize anymore, it’s only you, Beggar’s Banquet, El Azteco, Curious Book (Shop), everything else is gone ... I guess it’s typical that chains and/or businesses come and go, tastes change, some things are made to succeed and the other ones aren’t.” East Lansing Director of Planning, Building and Development Tim Dempsey has held his position since 2009 and worked with the city since 2004. He said the city sees turnover every year. While this year’s change is a bit more than usual, Dempsey said, other factors were most-

On Feb. 21, Velvet A Candy Store joined Sweet Lorraine’s Fabulous Mac n’ Cheez! and Cosi among other businesses that have closed down or relocated out of downtown East Lansing in the past year, each mourned by students on social media following their closing. Curious Book Shop, a neighbor of Cosi’s corpse, has been around so long it watched the previous building be torn down to make way for the condominiums and retail storefront that now stands there. Since opening in 1969, many of its neighbors have came and went, and downtown East Lansing has undergone much change around it. “A lot of businesses have come and gone, we feel fortunate that we’ve been able to stay in business,” owner Ray Walsh said. “It’s a little bit more challenging now than it was when we started certainly.

Searching for better technology, ELFD hindered by tight budget BY RUTA ULCINAITE RULCINAITE@STATENEWS.COM

While the city of Mason just became the first city in Ingham County to equip its fire department with thermal imaging camera masks, East Lansing’s size and budget might restrict the East Lansing Fire Department, or ELFD, from proper advancements in technology. Dawn Carson has been a deputy chief at the ELFD for 22 years. Carson said she believes in the advancement of technology within the fire department, but said there are not enough funds for everything the department wants, especially advanced thermal imaging masks. “They’re very, very expensive,” Carson said. “It’s quite an investment to do something like that.” Thermal imaging masks give firefighters hands-free thermal vision, which allows them to “see” heat in zero visibility, smoke-filled envi-

ronments. However, these masks can cost thousands of dollars, which is often the hindrance to obtaining them. “We have thermal imaging cameras, which is the same thing but just not in a mask, it’s in a handheld device,” Carson said. Handheld thermal imaging cameras are highly advanced as well, but less convenient than the masks that come with the cameras built in. Firefighters hold these cameras in their hands to see through things to identify heat in walls and other obstructions. Depending on the temperature, the colors of the camera will change. The cooler the color, the cooler the temperature, Carson said. “There’s people that do home improvement and have similar devices, but ours is more tolerant to higher heat,” Carson said. These cameras can help save lives, but having them built into a mask would ease an already intense job.

MSU DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY Firefighter Jamie Garner explains how thermal cameras are used by firefighters on March 18 at the East Lansing Fire Department at 1700 Abbot Rd.

Residents understand the high costs of advanced masks and want the department to be equipped with the latest technology, but are realistic about what technology the department can obtain. “If (the masks) help save lives then yes, we should have it,” computer science junior Raza Haider said. “But if there’s a way to get all of that information about the heat without having an expensive mask, then I feel we should take that route instead.” Steve Alvarado is also a deputy chief at the fire department and applied for a grant for two new thermal imaging cameras a couple years ago. The grant was denied, but Alvarado said new, advanced cameras would benefit both the department and community.

In a statement for why he thought the funds for the cameras would be a huge asset, Alvarado wrote, “The biggest benefit of all is giving the firefighters another tool and the ability to ‘get their vision back’ when conditions are at their worst. “In addition, the seat of the fire is much easier to find, victims are easier to see and property damage is decreased because firefighters are able to perform their jobs more efficiently.” Alvarado continued that working in a residential community as well as a “college town” adds unique challenges to the department. Having the proper tools and equipment can make all the difference when searching areas with high life safety concerns, such as student housing or senior living facilities.

After MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis announced on Tuesday Tom Anastos, who led the Spartans to a mere seven wins in the 2016-17 season, was stepping down from the helm of the MSU hockey program, the search to find a replacement SPORTS GENERAL ASSIGNMENT REPORTER instantly commenced. COLTON WOOD With numerous potential contenders, George Gwozdeck y and Danton Cole are two viable candidates who have brought plenty of attention early in the coaching search. Gwozdecky was as an assistant coach under the late Ron Mason from 1984-89 before he took over as the head coach of Miami University’s (Ohio) hockey program. In his five seasons with the RedHawks, Gwozdecky compiled an overall record of 81-93-19 in 193 games. He went on to serve as the University of Denver’s head coach, where he remained for 19 years and finished with a 443-267-64 record before his firing in 2013. Gwozdecky, who was inducted into the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984, served two years as an assistant in the NHL for the Tampa Bay Lightning afterward, but resigned in 2015. As speculation arose as to where Gwozdecky would land next, the Ontario native’s next coaching position shocked many as he took a job as head coach of the Valor Christian High School hockey program in Col-

orado, a position he still holds today. Gwozdecky’s 593 NCAA wins ranks him No. 11 alltime in nation. He is also the only coach in NCAA hockey history to win a Division I National Championship as a player, assistant coach and as a head coach. Before beginning to coach, Cole — a sixth-round draft pick by the Winnipeg Jets in the 1985 Entry NHL Draft — had a lengthy playing career, including playing for the Spartans from 1985-89 under Mason. Cole had stints with the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders and Chicago Blackhawks along with spending seven seasons with the now-defunct International Hockey League, or IHL, during his playing career. Cole’s career as a head coach began in 1999, when he was given the job as an assistant for the IHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins. After two years as an assistant with the Griffins, Cole coached the United Hockey League’s Muskegon Fury for one season. He finished the season with a 48-22 record and lead the team to a championship. Cole also served as an assistant with Bowling Green State University and held head coaching positions with the UHL’s Motor City Mechanics, the University of Alabama-Huntsville and U.S. National Under-17 Team as well as the Under-18 Team before becoming head coach of the United States National Development Team. After his first season behind the USNTDP bench, Cole finished the 2016-17 season with a 21-29 record. Regardless of who MSU will hire to be the next head coach, they will have plenty of pressure to turn a struggling Spartan team back into the once-proud national title contenders the program was.

Following 6 seasons, Anastos steps down as MSU hockey head coach BY COLTON WOOD CWOOD@STATENEWS.COM

Tom Anastos’ tenure as head coach of the MSU hockey team is over. After six seasons, MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis announced in a press release Tuesday, Anastos will step down from his position as head coach, effective immediately. As the search to find a new head coach begins, assistant coach Tom Newton will serve as interim head coach. “When I first became head coach I established my own timeline for the program’s development,” Anastos said in the release. “After a review of our season, and in spite of the progress we have made in so many areas, we have not met my expectations. As a leader, I believe that you must always make every decision based on what’s in the overall best interests of the program, and never put personal interests first. After lengthy conversations with Mark Hollis, I am stepping down from my role to help facilitate a change in leadership and direction for Spartan hockey.” At the helm of the Spartan hockey program, Anastos compiled a 78-122-24 overall record in six seasons. Anastos was able to guide the Spartans to a berth in the 2012 NCAA Tournament in his first season as head coach after a 19-16-4 record. “I want to thank Tom Anastos for the guidance he’s provided Spartan hockey over the last six seasons,” Hollis said in the release. “He would be the first to admit that he wished there were more on-ice victories, but he built a program that was a great value to our community. His student-athletes were successful in the classroom and were great representatives of the athletic department and the university as a whole with their commitment to community outreach.” Prior to becoming MSU’s head coach, Anastos played for the Spartan hockey program from 1981-85. He served as an assistant coach under coach Ron Mason from 1990-92 before being appointed the sixth head coach in MSU hockey history in 2011 after serving as the commissioner of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, or CCHA, for 13 years. During his time in East Lansing, Anastos coached two All-Americans, two conference players of the year, 11 all-time conference selections and a Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient.

MSU baseball throttles Chippewas, 11-2, as part of 2017 home opener BY CASEY HARRISON CHARRISON@STATENEWS.COM

Junior southpaw Keegan Baar’s day was cut short for MSU’s home opener, but once again the bats came alive as the Spartans defeated in-state rival Central Michigan University on Tuesday, 11-2. MSU (12-5 overall) used the mid-innings relief of senior Walter Borkovich and two outfield assists to beat the Chippewas (8-12 overall). Borkovich picked up a win and improved to 4-0 on the season. Right-handed pitcher Zach Kohn started the game for Central Michigan and suffered his second loss of the year.

ignated hitter Robert Greenman reached on an error. Baar then allowed back-to-back walks, scoring Kratt and making it a 3-1 game. Central Michigan, however, left the bases loaded after shortstop Alex Borglin and second baseman Jason Sullivan were retired. “I really think we swung it well early,” head coach Jake Boss Jr. said. “It’s kind of come and gone the last week, week and a half and so it was good to get back on track today.” After two innings of work, Boss pulled Baar, and Borkovich filled in for the next two innings. Baar allowed five hits and an unearned run on 39 pitches.

“We ran a lot of guys out there on the mound. I thought the pitching was kind of OK today. It wasn’t great. We’ve certainly pitched better. ... We’re deep enough in our bullpen that we can afford to do that now.” Jake Boss Jr., MSU baseball head coach “It’s definitely good to be back and play in front of a home crowd for at least a couple of innings,” redshirt-sophomore first baseman Alex Troop said. “It’s always fun to be back here.” After Baar retired the side in the first, the Spartans started the bottom of the first with four straight hits to take a 2-0 lead. Junior designated hitter Zack McGuire flew out to center later in the inning but scored the sophomore third baseman to extend MSU’s lead another run. The Chippewas retaliated in the next frame and cut a run off MSU’s lead. Catcher Evan Kratt led the inning off with a single, and des-

“Ideally we wanted to get probably four innings out of him,” Boss said. “But I think there are key moments in ball games where the game could be won or lost. That’s not always the eighth or ninth inning. We were at a point where I thought it was the right move to go to Walter, and it worked out.” MSU added another run in the third after Marty Bechina scored on a single to left hit by McGuire. Sophomore shortstop Royce Ando, freshman leftfielder Bryce Kelley and junior center fielder Brandon Hughes all scored in the bottom of the fourth to give the Spartans a 7-1 lead. Kohn was knocked out by the Spartans

after the fourth inning. He allowed four earned runs on three walks and eight hits. The other three runs scored by MSU during Kohn’s outing were unearned. Borkovich allowed two hits and struck out one in two innings on the mound. After the fourth, Boss handed the game to the underclassmen pitching staff. Fresh ma n r ight-ha nder M itc hell Tyranski faced three batters and recorded two outs before handing it to redshirt-sophomore Nathan Witt. Witt pitched 1.1 innings without giving up a hit, allowing a pair of walks and struck out two. MSU tacked on another run in the fifth when a single from Kelley scored Ando to make it 8-1. The Spartans dealt the final blow in the eighth after five consecutive hits generated three more runs. After Tyranski and Witt got their reps, senior right-hander Joe Mockbee tossed one inning without giving up a hit and struck out two. Mockbee then handed the reins to redshirt-junior righty Jake Lowery. After allowing a double to infielder Nick Stokowski, Lowery walked the next two batters and hit Borglin to score Stokowski. Sophomore r ight-ha nder R i ley McCauley picked up Lowery’s slack

and struck Sullivan out swinging to end Central Michigan’s bases-loaded threat. McCauley went back out for the ninth and allowed a leadoff single to right fielder Daniel Robinson before retiring the side in order to close out the game. “We ran a lot of guys out there on the mound,” Boss said. “I thought the pitching was kind of OK today. It wasn’t great. We’ve certainly pitched better. … We’re deep enough in our bullpen that we can afford to do that now.” MSU will travel out to Champaign, Ill. to open up Big Ten conference play against the University of Illinois for a three-game series. First pitch for Friday’s game is scheduled for 7 p.m. “It should be a good test for us this weekend,” Troop said.

“It’s definitely good to be back and play in front of a home crowd for at least a couple of innings. It’s always fun to be back here.” Alex Troop, Redshirt-sophomore first baseman

Success of MSU Dodgeball Club comes from veteran leaders, rivalry BY JONATHAN LEBLANC JLEBLANC@STATENEWS.COM

There are five D’s of dodgeball, according to the legendary Patches O’Houlihan: Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. Like the fictional O’Houlihan in the popular 2004 film “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” the MSU Dodgeball Club practices the five D’s every week at IM Sports-Circle. The club’s success is evident since its founding in 2003, with achievements like a national championship in 2013, seven Final Four appearances and reaching the National Quarterfinals six seasons in a row. The year 2013 was when captain Lucas Salinas decided to join the team after a friend on his floor joined first. “I like getting out here being competitive, letting off some steam,” Salinas, a chemical engineering senior, said. “I’m in class all day, and then you come out here for two hours, four hours a week … and get to meet new people.” Assistant captain Wes Peters said he was a “gym class hero” in high school and was a big fan of “Dodgeball Fridays” in his gym class. “I was always going to join club dodgeball, as soon as I knew it existed,” Peters, a graduate student, said. “I just love the sport.” This is also Peters seventh year playing collegiate dodgeball, first playing at Central Michigan University, where he was a captain for three years with one of MSU Dodgeball Club’s biggest rivals. “For me, it’s mixed feelings because Central’s my team where I kind of grew up in college,” Peters said. “At first it was definitely weird as hell, but now I’m just used to it. A lot more smack talk than one normally would from the other side.” Along with Central Michigan, Grand Valley State University, Saginaw Valley State University and James Madison University serve as the team’s main rivals. President Daniel Kobina Ofori-Dankwa said the rea-

son MSU and JMU are rivals in dodgeball is because of the growing tensions between the two teams. Salinas said the Michigan region is where competitive college dodgeball grew up and could be considered where the majority of the powerhouse teams reside. “You could say the Michigan teams are way better than the other regions as a whole, and then JMU was coming up and giving us good competition, so we became really good rivals with them,” Salinas said. To keep up with the competition, keeping skills up to par is necessary and previously playing a ball sport can help. “A lot of these guys didn’t even play baseball, but it definitely helps,” Salinas, who played catcher in high school, said. “There are a lot guys who did play baseball, and you see it, they kind of pick up quicker or they can be better quicker, but anybody can pick up the game.” Urban and regional planning senior Hunter Whitehill said what keeps him playing is the people. He came to MSU as a junior transfer student last year and found friends by joining the club. “A lot people might have hard times meeting a friend and sometimes joining a club sport, even if it’s something a little more competitive or not competitive, it’s a good way to make friends and expand your horizons,” Whitehill said. “It doesn’t matter if you can throw a ball or not, we’re just all trying to get better, and the more people that show up, the more ability we have to progress as a team.”

Recycling clothing, textiles the goal of one MSU Surplus Store program BY LAURA BOHANNON LBOHANNON@STATENEWS.COM

As sustainability and recycling become main goals at MSU, one organization is making the community aware of another way to help the Earth. The MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center collects clothing through a program called “Pack Up. Pitch In.” The program has been in place since 1996 and is run through MSU, according to the Residence Education and Housing Services website. James Ives, education and outreach coordinator for the MSU Surplus Store, encouraged people to think about donating or recycling their clothing instead of throwing it away. “Clothing, as with anything else, it just — versus going out and buying new (clothes) — for one, it saves money,” he said. “It does save a lot of natural resources. There’s a lot of water, there

are a lot of things that go into making clothing that I don’t think people really understand.” According to the Secondary Manufacturing and Recycled Textiles Association, or SMART, nearly 100 percent of clothing and textiles are recyclable. Additionally, the environmental impact of a household’s clothing is equal to the amount of water needed to fill 1,000 bathtubs and the carbon emission from driving an average modern car for 6,000 miles, according to SMART. Human biology sophomore Sloane Marenas said she sees the value in donating her clothing. “I think it’s a good idea,” Marenas said. “I do it personally, I donate to Salvation Army and I buy from Plato’s Closet.” Ives stressed the impact making clothes has on the environment. “It takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular blue jeans,” Ives said in an email.

He also said a cotton T-shirt isn’t “as bad” as jeans, but it still takes 400 gallons of water to grow the cotton to make the T-shirt. Laura Grimwood, director of communications for the City Rescue Mission, a nonprofit in Lansing that runs a thrift shop, said the organization does take clothing donations, but their method isn’t conventional. “How we operate is a little different in that we have a thrift store,” Grimwood said. “Our guests are given clothing vouchers when they go to the thrift store and they can get clothing items that they need for free, which is great for them. They get the shopping experience.” Grimwood said people can go in and buy the clothing in City Mission Upscale Thrift, located at 3700 W Saginaw St. in Lansing. The money made from those transactions goes toward getting more clothing items necessary for the Mission’s guests as well as other costs such as shelter and food, Grimwood said.

Ives said he thinks donating clothing is better than throwing it in the trash. “If you throw it out, it’s just going to go in a landfill and rot, it’s just going to be gone,” Ives said. “But if you choose to donate it, you know, you’re extending the life cycle of that object. ... We would definitely want people to reuse the item before it gets recycled and definitely before it gets landfilled.”
