MSU students take care of lambs and pregnant sheep at sheep farm

BY MILA MURRAY MMURRAY@STATENEWS.COM

An alarm clock goes off for the third time during the night. Animal science sophomore Emmy Schuurmans gets herself up, takes her drive to the barn and does a routine check on her pregnant sheep and the newborn lambs at the MSU Sheep Teaching and Research Center.

It’s midnight.

Schuurmans began working at the MSU Sheep Teaching and Research Center in the fall, but starting this semester she is living on the farm on her own to ensure the newborns are delivered safely with proper care.

Schuurmans grew up on a dairy farm, where she would get up at 2 a.m. to milk the cows every Sunday, so working with animals, specifically production farming, has always been her passion.

“Sometimes it is a little lonely, but I grew up in the middle of nowhere and so it kind of feels like home,” Schuurmans said. “That was the one thing that I missed my freshman year ... not being around animals all the time anymore.”

Her duties during lambing season, which begins in the middle of January, includes drying off the lambs after they are born, ensuring the sheep and their newborns are put in an individual pen to properly bond, weighing the lamb and writing down details such as the date of birth and the mother’s number.

“A lot of people want to do cats and dogs because everyone loves kittens and puppies,” Schuurmans said. “Not a lot of people who go into vet schools think food animals need to be taken care of too, so that’s what I want to do.”

One of the most important duties for Schuurmans is to assist if the sheep are experiencing a difficult birth, which can be caused by the mother having too narrow of a pelvis or the lamb being positioned backward.

“Humans get one on one interaction, the doctor is always watching them and everything so you don’t really hear of it as much because they’re watching the baby all the time,” Schuurmans said. “They’re taking ultrasounds all the time, making sure the baby is in the right position, and we can’t do that with every sheep here.”

down, and usually if they’ve been in that position for too long there is something wrong. Schuurmans sometimes must help with the birth by herself in the middle of the night.

“One time there was two babies coming out at the same time and so if you don’t catch it in time, then the babies eventually don’t make it,” Schuurmans said. “But what really makes up for it is when you do get one that’s alive.”

The first time Schuurmans helped a sheep give birth at the MSU Sheep Teaching and Research Center with farm manager Joe Leszcz, she had to wear a glove that went up to her shoulder.

It took 30 minutes, and she had to feel for the lamb’s legs and pull out the newborn from the tight space.

“I get to see young people like Emmy develop as they work here and gain in their skills and their knowledge,” Leszcz said. “That’s the really rewarding thing about being out here.”

Leszcz takes the male lambs that weigh more than 60 pounds to an auction where they are often sold to buyers from Detroit, whereas the female lambs are typically added back to the flock.

“A lot of people think that it’s for wool production, but we actually lose money when we shear them,” Schuurmans said. “Wool doesn’t really make a lot of money for sheep farmers. We just have to do it for the health of the animal really.”

At the farm, Schuurmans and other student workers also watch for the sheep’s health, treat-

ing them with antibiotics if they contract mastitis, an infection in the mammary glands and checking for other injuries in both the lambs and sheep.

“Sometimes the utter will swell up and be kind of reddish and looks inflamed,” Schuurmans said.

“Also you have to test them, if you milk her out it kind of looks like cottage cheese almost.”

Other duties at the MSU Sheep Teaching and Research Center include feeding, bedding and working at the barn, which is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“Farms sometimes have a bad rap, that farmers don’t care about their animals,” Schuurmans said. “But people put in a lot of effort to make sure the animals are healthy and happy.”

Student remains positive, focused on studies despite brain tumor

BY JAIMIE BOZACK JBOZACK@STATENEWS.COM

Two years ago, environmental studies and sustainability sophomore Carter Helinski received news that changed his life. When looking at him, one would never guess the struggles Helinski has faced.

On the outside, Helinski is an average student.

He is involved with multiple clubs on campus, he spends time in his dorm and he is pursuing his dream of environmental protection.

On the inside, there is a much larger story.

Helinski has a hypoglossal schwannoma brain tumor, which is growing at a steady rate.

During his junior and senior year of high school, Helinski experienced pounding headaches that affected his everyday routine.

He visited the doctor and received a magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, and the scan showed a cavernoma, or a small cluster of blood vessels, but the tumor went undetected.

During a checkup after another MRI a year later, Helinski received the news that he had a tumor.

He said the location of the tumor and his age are both rare.

“Especially being so young, it’s even more rare,” he said. “Typically, they find them in people who are 40, 50 and 60. ... I kind of felt like I was going to throw up. I didn’t really know what to think.

It was kind of surreal. I kind of felt like I was in a dream for awhile. What else now?”

In addition to the tumor, Helinski deals with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections, or PANDAS, which he was diagnosed with when he was 4 years old.

“Whenever I get sick, instead of my antibodies attacking the illness they also attack the brain, which makes it inflamed, which can trigger off multiple things like 40 to 50 different symptoms,” Helinski said.

Environmental studies and sustainability sophomore Carter Helinski poses for a portrait on March 15 in his dorm room. He has known for two years that he has a brain tumor which needs to be removed. “It could be worse ... could be cancer, could not have known about it,” Helinski said.

PHOTO: CHLOE GRIGSBY

Helinski’s flare ups can include symptoms of anxiety and depression. He said this can make being in school difficult, but he keeps persevering.

“Pretty much every day you wake up and you figure out what kind of day it’s going to be and you go from there,” Helinski said. “It is pretty much an up in the air thing, hour by hour, day by day and minute by minute. I just kind of take things day by day. I try not to look at years.”

minutes, you could go 80 years from now ... so it’s pointless to go around with a negative attitude,” he said. “I definitely discovered that I am a lot stronger than I ever thought I was in terms of handling things on my own.”

Professor in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Rick Foster had Helinski in his class last semester and said he did not see Helinksi’s health issues hinder his schoolwork.

“You could go in an hour, you could go in five minutes, you could go in 80 years from now ... so it’s pointless to go around with a negative attitude.”

Carter Helinski, Environmental studies and sustainability sophomore Helinski said there are two treatment options that include brain surgery or pinpointed radiation. He is planning to treat his tumor with one of the two options this summer.

People often react with sympathy or disbelief when he tells them about his health.

“Having so many things happening at the same time people think, ‘I don’t know how you get out of bed in the morning’ or, ‘I don’t know how you keep up with what you’re doing,’” Helinski said.

“People say, ‘I could never do that if I was in your situation.’ Yeah, you could. If you’re in the situation you don’t really have a choice. ... When people say that it feels good, but I don’t want to feel like some hero or I don’t want to feel like some Superman because I am not.

“I am just going about everything like I typically would.”

Helinski said he won’t let his health affect his passion to save the environment and protect animals.

“You could go in an hour, you could go in five

“He was always the first one in class and the last one to leave, and that wasn’t because of any kind of learning issue,” Foster said. “I admire him very much. ... We would engage in a lot of conversations because he was always there before class ever started sitting in front of me, and there was never a conversation of complaint, it was always an upbeat conversation.”

Helinski’s mother, Rachel Helinski, said she was in shock when she learned of the tumor. Carter’s father, Mark Helinski, had a brain tumor removed nine months earlier. She said his father helped inspire Carter during the past two years.

“The hardest thing is that you never want to see your kids suffer or have to go through something this life altering and he has already had a lot of challenges thrown at him in his life,” Rachel Helinski said. “He’s had to work twice as hard as everybody else at a lot of things and so I think it was always his goal to get to MSU and have that fighting spirit of, ‘You think I can’t do this?

Watch me.’”

CCLARK@STATENEWS.COM

TULSA, Okla. – As the final buzzer sounded, MSU’s season was ended by the hands of No. 1 Kansas.

A hard fought game by both sides, MSU failed to string a run to crawl past the Jayhawks. The final score was 90-70.

Freshman forward Miles Bridges did what he could, however he was without much help in the latter 10 minutes of the second half because freshman forward Nick Ward was in foul trouble. With more than eight minutes left in the second half, Ward picked up his fourth foul and had to sit.

From there Bridges attempted to carry the team, but the load was too heavy.

In the final five minutes, the Spartans were exhaust-

Matt Van Dyk, Redshirt senior forward

ed from dealing with the speed of Kansas and couldn’t make up the increasing score differential.

At the two minute mark, Kansas’ Josh Jackson drove down the center of the lane, throwing down a dagger dunk, putting the Jayhawks up 15 points. Frank Mason III added a layup and Devonte’ Graham hit a corner 3-pointer to put Kansas on a 7-0 run and ahead by 20 points.

The Spartans end the season with a final record of 20-15.

The Departed The Spartans will lose three players to graduation in the offseason: Alvin Ellis III, Matt Van Dyk and Eron Harris.

Harris will leave a decent-sized hole to fill for MSU. In just two seasons as a Spartan, Harris scored 616 points in 63 games. His college career ended on the floor of Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Ind. when he drove baseline, colliding with Purdue’s Isaac Haas, and landed awkwardly on his right leg. His knee would severely buckle and the injured Harris was stretchered off the floor.

Izzo was able to give Harris one last shinning movement on Senior Night against then-No. 16 Wisconsin.

With the final seconds ticking down and the Spartans leading 84-74, Harris took off his warm-ups and slowly shuffled to the scorer’s table to check-in.

He was welcomed onto the court by a standing ova-

Cameron Macko Managing editor cmacko@statenews.com

“All the small things that we went through, all of the adversity, all the fighting and all the grinding it out with teammates.”

Alvin Ellis III, Senior Guard tion, and without any teammate assistance, he leaned down at halfcourt to complete the Spartan tradition – a kiss upon the spartan helmet logo.

In Harris’ entire college basketball year, including the two season at West Virginia, he scored 1,489 points. He is expected to graduate with a degree in sociology.

Ellis shot his final arrow for MSU having played in 132 games. During his time wearing the green and white, Ellis scored 414 points, most of which occurred in his senior season. Ellis scored 205 points in his final season and 209 points in his first three seasons combined.

Ellis filled in as a starter when Harris was injured. Ellis is expected to graduated with a degree in sociology.

“All the small things that we went through, all of the adversity, all the fighting and all the grinding it out with teammates,” Ellis said after hugging former MSU forward Draymond Green.

“From just all the trips that we took overseas and the Bahamas and things like that, just all the little things that we’ve been through together.”

The final senior is Van Dyk. The redshirt senior from Imlay City, Mich. earned his spot on the roster by walking onto the team before the 2014 season. His hustle and hard work earned him a scholarship from the team before this season.

Van Dyk played at St. Clair County Community College before transferring to MSU for academic purposes.

He appeared in 49 games and scored 61 points for MSU and is a two-time recipient of the Tim Bograkos Walk-On Award. He is expected to return home and help run the family lettuce farm after graduation. His degree is in agribusiness management.

“Just the family here,” Van Dyk said holding back tears about his favorite MSU memory. “It really is just a big family, everybody loves each other, everybody is working for each other.”

Uncertainty of Miles Bridges Bridges will be the next focal point for MSU fans while they await his decision on either to return for his sophomore season, or leave college and pursue a career in the NBA. In just one season at MSU, Bridges left an impressive mark in terms of production.

If he decides to leave MSU, Bridges will finish his college career with 402 points and 199 rebounds. In 24 games, he averaged 16.7 points per game and 8.3 rebounds per game. Both of those statistics were team highs this season.

Bridges missed seven games earlier in the season because of a foot injury.

In what could be his final game in green and white, Bridges scored 22 points with eight rebounds. He left early in the first half with an abdomen

injury and returned minutes later still catering to his right hip.

His explosive dunks, extended shooting range and all-around talent helped him win the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Bridges scored in double-figures 25 times this season.

Just one year ago, Bridges entered MSU as a five-star recruit from Flint, Mich. He played his last years of high school basketball at Huntington Prep in West Virginia.

Bridges did not say whether he was leaving MSU after their loss against Kansas. When he will make a decision is unknown.

“Miles is going to be my best friend, man, and you know he’s my little brother, but I just appreciate everything he does and how hard he works and wants to be great,” Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr. said. “But he never backs down from a challenge, and I’m going to keep getting on him for the rest of his life because that’s one thing Coach has been pushing me to be better at is holding my best friend accountable.”

An update about his choice to leave or not is expected as early as this week and Izzo said he would encourage Bridges either way, noting the demeanor of Bridges reminded him of Gary Harris who decided to stay another year.

Incoming class Currently MSU has t wo highly acclaimed signed recruits, Jaren Jackson and Xavier Tillman.

Jackson plays high school basketball at La Lumiere School in La Porte, Ind. In his junior year of high school at Park Tudor High School in Indianapolis, Ind. Jackson averaged 16.1 points per game, 7.8 rebounds and 4.4 blocks.

He is listed as 6-foot-11, 225 pounds and is a five-star recruit. He will play in the McDonald’s All-American game, the same game Bridges and guard Joshua Langford appeared in last year.

Jackson is listed as the No. 16 best incoming basketball recruit and No. 3 best power forward according to ESPN’s Top 100.

Jackson received 18 total scholarship offers from notable universities such as: U-M, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois, Butler, Georgetown, Maryland, Purdue and Notre Dame.

Tillman is listed as a power forward as well and is 6-foot-9, 250 pounds. He currently plays for Grand Rapids Christian High School in Grand Rapids, Mich.

He is a four-star recruit with 10 scholarship offers, mainly from Big Ten schools. Outside of MSU, other Big Ten schools that wanted Tillman include: Purdue, Indiana, Illinois, U-M, Iowa and Ohio State. Teams outside of the Big Ten included: Virginia Tech, TCU and Kentucky.

Unless either player decides to decommit and attend another university, the

Spartans could have a potential starting line-up including: Cassius Winston, Langford, Bridges, Ward and Jackson. More likely Nairn and potentially Gavin Schilling will start.

MSU is currently in the race for a third highly acclaimed recruit, Brian “Tugs” Bowen.

He currently plays alongside Jackson for La Lumiere School and is originally from Saginaw, Mich. The same

city that produced players like Green and former guard Jason Richardson.

Bowen is listed at 6-foot-7, 190 pounds. He is the No. 12 incoming recruit, according to the ESPN Top 100 and is the No. 3 small forward.

The five-star recruit has drawn heavy interest from Arizona and MSU as well as five additional schools.

Those other schools include: DePaul, Texas, Creigh-

Spotlight ton, N.C. State and UCLA. Next year projections The long list of injuries combined with the youth issues for MSU this season could have a very different look next season.

If Schilling and Ben Carter return healthy, which has been a major problem especially for Carter, then MSU will have an abundance of height.

Because of injuries this season, Ward stands tallest for MSU at 6-foot-8. This has hurt the ability for MSU to guard the paint and against teams like Purdue, it has squashed the ability to defend the low post. The height of the Boilermakers with 7-foot-2 Isaac Haas and 6-foot-9 Caleb Swanigan was too much to handle for the Spartans. They lost by double digits in both games this season.

However, next season MSU would have a front court of 6-foot-9 Schilling, Carter and Tillman. They will also have 6-foot-8 Ward, 6-foot-11 Jackson and 6-foot-6 Kenny Goins.

This will drastically help improve the Spartans’ ability to rebound the basketball, a main staple for Izzo coached teams. This season MSU is ranked 123 in the nation in rebounding. Just two seasons ago, the Spartans

Cameron Macko Managing editor cmacko@statenews.com

led the country in rebounding margin.

Their guards will remain the same, with Nairn and Winston in charge of the offense.

Langford will continue his role alongside the two guards and Matt McQuaid will most likely gain a bigger role with the departure of Ellis and Harris.

The experience for MSU will improve as each freshman will have a full season under their belt. Nairn will be the outspoken leader as a senior and Schilling will help lead the big men.

For the most part, this team will remain relatively young.

In terms of pure talent, next season’s MSU team will be loaded with playmaking and rebounding ability.

If Bridges stays, the talent and ability for MSU increases, but if he decides to leave, they will still be threatening to the Big Ten and the nation.

“Man, this whole year has been a blessing for me, man,” Nairn said following the loss. “Like I said at the beginning of the season when these guys first came in, I love being around them off the floor more than being on the floor just because they came in as the class. But they’re really so humble and came in just wanting to win games and worked hard every day.”
