US vaping illnesses top 500, Missouri man is 8th death The Associated Press

NEW YORK — More than 500 people have been diagnosed with vaping-re- lated breathing illnesses, but the cause remains unknown, U.S. health officials said Thursday. An eighth death was also reported. Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration revealed that its criminal investigations unit started tracking leads early on, as cases pointed to black market vaping products. The agency’s tobacco director, Mitch Zeller, stressed that it is not interested in pros- ecuting individuals who use illegal products but is lending a hand because of the unit’s “special skills.” 6A Friday, SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

The chargers also serve as marketing tools for cities because they keep track of where the cars that use them come from, said Brad Rains, the TVPPA manager of distributed energy resources deployments. “These things are really more economic devel- opment engines than they are anything,” he said. The presence of electric cars is growing both statewide and nationally, and Mayor Lynn Spruill said the city should keep up with the trend. “We think it’s important for us to meet a demand that is growing, and growing rapidly,” Spruill said. The city will likely install more chargers as the demand grows, Kemp said. Cities with colleges in particular have high EV adoption rates regardless of population, Rains said. He drove to Starkville from Chattanooga to assist Starkville Utilities with the installation of the chargers. Starkville Utilities has purchased an EV for its own use, and it will be delivered in the next few months, Kemp said. Columbus installed its first EV charger in July, also from ChargePoint, at 300 Main St. in front of the Tennessee Williams Home and Welcome Cen- ter.

STARKVILLE — There’s no simple solution for stopping Starkville junior running back Amari- yon Howard. At 5-foot-9, 196 pounds — up from around 185 pounds a season ago — he’s got the size to battle in the trenches and between the tackles. Yet with speed Yellow Jackets coach Chris Jones says clocks in around 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash, the balanced back can burn defenses around the edges. “To me he’s very complete,” junior quarterback Luke Altmyer said. “He has great speed and strength — he’s hard to tackle in space.” Fresh off his second 100-yard game of the season in last week’s 35-7 win over Louisville, Howard is beginning to find steadier footing in the Starkville backfield.
