n LOCAL NOTES

NEW YORK (AP) — Thedeath toll in the vaping ill-ness outbreak has

topped 50, U.S. healthofficials said Thursday.

The 52 deaths in 26states are among the2,409 hospitalized casesthat have been reportedacross the nation thisyear, the Centers forDisease Control andPrevention said.

Hospitalized caseshave been most commonin the Midwest, with someof the highest rates inIllinois, Indiana, andWisconsin.

The median age of thepeople who died is 52, but

most people who sufferedlung damage have beenmuch younger, with halfin their teens or early 20s.

The outbreak appearsto have started in March.The bulk of the casesoccurred in August andSeptember, but new casesare still being reported,including 118 in the pastweek, the CDC said.

Some of the newlyreported illnesses hap-pened more than a monthago but were only recentlyreported. However, 43percent of the latest batchof cases were people hos-pitalized since Nov. 17,the agency said.

Most patients havesaid they vaped productscontaining THC, theingredient that produces ahigh in marijuana. CDCofficials have graduallycome to focus their inves-tigation on black-marketTHC cartridges.

Last month, CDC offi-cials said they had nar-rowed in on a culprit — achemical compoundcalled vitamin E acetatethat has been commonlyfound in the lungs of sickpatients and in the prod-ucts they vaped.

It’s a thickening agentthat’s been added to illicitTHC vaping liquids.

The first local tourna-ment of the wrestling seasonis set to take place Saturdaywith Bellefontaine’s JimmyMac Duals.

The Chieftains haveworked hard to build thedual tournament back upand now have six teams inthe field. Last year’s meetincluded just three teamsafter three teams backedout of their contracts theweek of the tournament.

Wrestling beginsSaturday at 9:30 a.m. withfive rounds of duals. Thisyear’s collection of teamsincludes Bellefontaine,Kettering Fairmont,Coldwater, Celina, BowlingGreen and Van Wert.

Having success in dualsdepends heavily on fillingall 14 weight classes andnearly all of the teams atthis year’s tournament dothat. Fairmont and Celinaare favored in that categoryand should be the top twoteams in the field.

Bellefontaine should fillall but three or four weightclasses and has a fairly younggroup of wrestlers after grad-uating a lot of talent from lastyear’s record-setting team.

While the Jimmy MacDuals have made changes,the Ohio wrestling scenehas also seen plenty ofchanges this year.

Benjamin Logan’swrestling program hasmoved to Division III forthe next two seasons. TheRaiders join Indian Lake,West Liberty-Salem andTriad in that division.

The Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association hasmoved the individual statewrestling tournament datesto March 13, 14 and 15,which is a Friday, Saturdayand Sunday schedule. Thisis a change from than theThursday, Friday, Saturdayschedule that was in place

in the past.It was moved because of

a conflict with theSchottenstein Center,which has been the host ofthe state tournament forthe past two decades.

In another new devel-opment, Bellefontaine hasstarted the area’s first girlswrestling team. All threearea schools have hadgirls compete on the boysteam at one point oranother, but now theChiefs have a strictly all-girls squad.

Ohio is moving closerand closer to sanctioninggirls wrestling and

Bellefontaine is helping aidthat effort by creating ateam. The Chiefs will alsohost a girls tournament onSaturday, Feb. 1., and it isexpected to draw in a largefield of talented youngladies.

Here is a look at somenotable meets this week-end:

Lakers at WashingtonCourt House

Indian Lake opens itsseason at the WashingtonCourt House pool tourna-ment on Saturday. TheLakers should finish in themiddle of the 11-teamfield.

New Lexington is theteam favorite as thePanthers have a number ofstate-ranked wrestlers.Host Washington CourtHouse should be runner-up, and after that the restof the field dips off.

One of the tournament’smarquee matches featuresIndian Lake returning stateplacer Hayden Pummeland New Lexington districtplacer Layne Talbot at 170pounds. Pummel is rankedfourth in Division III andTalbot is ranked fifth inDivision II.

The Lakers also haveLane Mefford favored to

win the 182-pound weightclass.

Indian Lake will alsohost the area’s first in-school dual againstBenjamin Logan on Friday,Dec. 20. The match willtake place during theschool day at 11 a.m. withstudents filing the gymna-sium to watch.

Graham takes onIronman

Graham will face itstoughest season in over adecade. The Falcons arenot ranked nationally forthe first time in nearly 20years and have just twowrestlers in the individual

rankings.That doesn’t bode well

for Graham as it preparesfor the country’s toughestprep tournament,Ironman, which is thisweekend at Walsh JesuitHigh School in northeastOhio. The Falcons havealready lost a dual this yearto Springboro last weekendat the Marysville Duals.

As a state, Ohio has fivenationally-ranked pro-grams. All of them are atIronman. They includeLakewood St. Edward (4th),LaSalle (11th), Elyria (15th),Brecksville (22nd) andWadsworth (32nd).

SAN ANTONIO —Cleveland veteran KevinLove has struggled to find abright spot during a gloomyseason for the Cavaliers, sohe created his own.

Love hit a tying 3-point-er in the final seconds ofregulation and finishedwith 30 points and 17rebounds as the Cavs ral-lied past the San AntonioSpurs 117-109 in overtimeThursday night to stop aneight-game losing streak.

"Hell, yeah," Love saidwhen asked about theimportance of having fun. "Ithink that's what is lostsometimes. It's humannature to feel that way afterthe losses pile up or you fallon hard times, but I thinkit's a really long season. Youhave to find some brightspots and know at the endof the day that if you reallylove this game, there isgoing to be ups and downs."

Love had 10 points inthe fourth quarter and OT

to help Cleveland win forthe first time since Nov. 23against Portland.

San Antonio played athird straight overtimegame for the first time infranchise history. TheSpurs won the previoustwo at home but failed tomaintain a five-point leadwith 20 seconds left in thefourth quarter this time.

DeMar DeRozan had 21points but missed a pair offree throws with 14 sec-onds remaining in regula-tion and the Spurs leading103-100.

"No excuse why Ishouldn't have made thosefree throws," DeRozansaid. "That's just notacceptable on my part."

Love followed by tyingthe game at 103 on a 3 with7.5 seconds to go.

"Sometimes it's better tobe lucky than good, right?"Love said. "It was a little bitof a broken play there. Gotoff a good pump fake.Could have shot it but feltthat little pump fake wasgoing to give me a little bit

better look, which it did."DeRozan missed a 20-

foot fadeaway jumper atthe close of regulation.

The Cavaliers opened

overtime on an 8-4 run,including back-to-back 3sby Love and Cedi Osman,to capture just their thirdroad win of the season.

"It was a great celebra-tion as a team and youcould tell (from) the energy(at the close of regulationthat) we were going to

come out with the victory,"guard Collin Sexton said.

Sexton had 28 pointsand San Antonio nativeJordan Clarkson added 25for the Cavaliers (6-19).The duo shot 20 for 37 withonly four turnovers.

"We just kept going tothe action with both ofthem in the pick-and-rolland we were able to makesome really good thingshappen," Love said.

The Spurs outscored theCavs 35-22 in the fourthperiod after trailing by 13in the third.

Consecutive layups byDeRozan put San Antonioup 84-83 with 6:23 remain-ing. It was the Spurs' firstlead since Rudy Gay's 3-pointer put them ahead 7-6with 8:19 left in the firstquarter.

Derrick White added 17points and LaMarcusAldridge had 12 for SanAntonio (9-15).

"It's on all of ustonight," Aldridge said."We let a good opportunityslip away."

BALTIMORE — Onlyminutes removed fromwatching his team roll toits 10th consecutive victo-ry, coach John Harbaughshowed up to the post-game news conferencewearing a white hat pro-claiming Baltimore to beAFC North champions.

No small accomplish-ment, winning that toughdivision two years in a row.

"We're very proud ofthat," Harbaugh said. "It'sour first goal. Not our topgoal."

Indeed. After Lamar

Jackson ran and passed theRavens past the New YorkJets 42-21 on Thursdaynight, the shirt he worereflected the feeling of justabout everyone associatedwith the team that ownsthe best record in the NFL.

"THE NORTH IS NOTENOUGH," yelled the sen-timent in capital letters.

Yes, the Ravens haveanother division title afterthey clinched a playoffberth four days earlier inBuffalo. With a victory nextweek in Cleveland, theRavens will be assured thetop seed in the AFC, a dis-tinction that comes withhome-field advantage lead-

ing up to the Super Bowl.Super Bowl. That's the

target. Victories inDecember are merely stepsin that direction.

"We just have to keep itgoing," Jackson said.

"The job is not over,"safety Earl Thomas said."We got a couple moregoals in front of us."

Jackson threw five touch-down passes and scurriedinto the NFL record book.He's only started 21 gamesas a professional, yetJackson looks like he's beendoing it forever.

"I'm thinking in theback of my mind sooner orlater he's going to have ayoung, second-year grow-ing pains game," veteranguard Marshal Yanda said."And the kid keeps playingwinning football."

Baltimore (12-2) tookcontrol with touchdownson its first three posses-sions and Jackson made it28-7 in the third quarterwith a 24-yard scoring passto rookie Marquise Brownfollowing a turnover byNew York (5-9).

Jackson ran for 86 yards(on eight carries) to breakMichael Vick's single-sea-son record for a quarter-back (1,039 for Atlanta in2006). Jackson has 1,108yards rushing.

On this night, however,Jackson did most of thedamage with his right arm.He completed 15 of 23passes for 212 yards andincreased his NFL-leadingtotal of touchdown passesto 33, tying the franchiseseason record set by VinnyTestaverde in 1996.

After Jackson's pass toBrown, many in the crowdof 70,545 chanted "MVP!MVP!" There was a repriseof the mantra late in thethird quarter when Jacksonhit Seth Roberts for a 33-yard touchdown. The scorecame after Jackson con-nected with tight end MarkAndrews for a 36-yard com-pletion on a fourth-and-1from the Baltimore 29.

Jackson celebrated thefirst down by dancingdownfield with his armpointing toward the NewYork goal line. Not once

throughout his exceptionalperformance did Jacksonshow any sign of beingslowed by a quadricepsinjury that made headlinesin the days leading up tothe game.

The Jets, meanwhile,hardly looked like a teamthat had won four of theirprevious five games. SamDarnold threw two touch-down passes to JamisonCrowder but the second-year quarterback alsotossed an interception andlost a fumble.

The first turnover ruineda potential scoring drivenear the end of the first halfand the latter miscueimmediately precededJackson's TD pass to Brown.

"When we got ouropportunities, we had toscore touchdowns. We justdidn't do it," coach AdamGase said. "We didn't finishthe job."

Darnold went 18 for 32for 218 yards.

"Experience. It's com-ing," Gase said. "It's com-ing. He's improving everyweek."

The Jets' other touch-down came on a blockedpunt in the fourth quarter.

New York's defensecame in ranked second inthe NFL against the rush,but the unit was no matchfor the league's top run-ning game. The Ravensamassed 218 yards on theground, including 76 byMark Ingram.

Jackson broke Vick'srushing mark onBaltimore's opening pos-session while guiding theRavens on an 84-yardmarch. The dual-threatquarterback ran three timesfor 27 yards and completedall three of his passes for 41yards before Ingram ran infrom the New York 6.

Jackson supplanted Vickin the record book with a 5-yard run from the Jets 11.

It was more of the sameon Baltimore's seconddrive. A 29-yard run byIngram and a 25-yardimpromptu jaunt out of thepocket by Jackson preced-ed a 5-yard touchdownpass to rookie MilesBoykin.

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates follow-ing each sign.

Ababy born today has a Sun in Sagittarius and a Moon in Cancer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 13, 2019:This year, you often waiver in what you want. Taking your time making solid decisions could be more important than you realize. If single, your sensitivity often draws others to you. Make sure you are not the emotional caretaker — unless you want to be. It is important to be aware of the type of bond you want. If attached, you are heading in a new direc-tion together. Finances will need strong management to create what you desire, but you can do it. CANCER loves how energized you can get.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)�� Work with what you have. You possess more ideas than you realize. Aconversation with a respected associate opens the door. Your imagination takes you to the finale; now you must greet the play. Tonight: Mosey on home early.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)�� Emphasize communication. If someone does not get your message, try communicating differently. You hold the ability to create much more of what you want. Take a leap of faith. A friend will cheer you on. Tonight: Get out and have

a good time.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)�� Be aware of your limits, espe-cially financially. You have tried every-thing and still cannot get past an immedi-ate hassle. Be resourceful and find a friend who has faced a similar situation. A brainstorming session could help. Tonight: Complete some “ho-ho-ho” errands.CANCER (June 21-July 22)�� Your intuition guides you when teamed up with your imagination. Do not shut down a situation until you are ready. Push yourself and you will achieve what you want. Tonight: You’re a star wherever you go.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)�� Reach out for someone you care deeply about but have not been as open with as you could be. Share more of your inner thoughts with this person. The exchange will charge your imagination. Tonight: Play it low-key.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)�� Meetings hold the key to suc-cess for you. Friends surround you and demonstrate caring and concern. Share what you are up to, and your friends’ sup-port and energy could push you to suc-cess. Tonight: Celebrating TGIF.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) �� Take a stand and find out what is best for you and others. Conversations lead you down the right path. You have the ability to manifest what is needed, and you have the backing. What is stop-ping you? Tonight: A must appearance.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)�� Reach out for another person at a distance. Somehow you cannot suc-ceed — or you feel that you cannot — without a discussion with them. Your sixth sense kicks in and directs you

where to go. Tonight: Follow your inner desires.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) �� One-on-one relating takes you down an intriguing path. As an adven-turer, relating to someone who wants security could be challenging, or at best very interesting. Try walking in the other person’s shoes. Tonight: Make a nice meal.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)�� Defer to others knowing full well when you have given enough of yourself and want some personal time. No doubt you deserve it. You also see how your perspective can change if you roll with different solutions. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s request.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)�� You have been very playful and open. Suddenly you see a situation differ-ently and recognize the type of work you have created for yourself. A friend or associate understands and helps you rem-edy the situation. Tonight: Time for some R and R.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)�� Recognize what is going on around you. If you choose, you could have a good time and not worry at all. Aperson similar to you enjoys hanging out. You need to accept your responsibilities. Tonight: Go caroling.
