Blinkhorn wins Bojangles Tennessee Intercollegiate

By Chris Wells

Loudon, TN - Lindsey Wilson men's golf sophomore Callum Blinkhorn continued his strong play this fall, winning at the Bojangles Tennessee Intercollegiate today played at Tennessee National Golf Club.

Blinkhorn carded the low round of the day on Tuesday, to earn medalist honors by one stroke over Tennessee Wesleyan's Tanner Harris -- who entered the final round with a one-stroke lead.

Blinkhorn completed the three-round, two-day event with a tournament-total 208 (68-70-70) for his third win this season.

Lindsey Wilson shot a team-total 292 today to finish in a tie for fifth place -- with Mid-South Conference foe Cumberland (Tenn.) -- at 882 (281-302-299). No. 12 Dalton State (Ga.) won the team title with an 860 (283-282-295) while Tennessee Wesleyan finished runner-up with an 874 (295-287-292).

Birds of Kentucky: Unidentified Shy Bird



2018-10-16 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Pen.
Pen writes, "I spotted this guy defying gravity just outside the William F. Miles Community Garden, and haven't been able to narrow down what sort of bird he is. Pine Warbler? Juvenile Bay Breasted Warbler? I only took the one photo, because I thought he was a different sort of bird entirely."

Beshear joins 30-state push for tougher restrictions on robocalls

By Terry Sebastian/Crystal Staley

Frankfort, KY - Attorney General Andy Beshear is calling on federal regulators to allow telephone service providers to block more illegal robocalls being made to Kentuckians.

Beshear and more than 30 state attorneys general detail in their letter that scammers have devised methods to evade a call blocking order issued by the Federal Communications Commission last year.

Beshear said at issue is "neighborhood spoofing," a technique allowing scammers - no matter where they are located - to appear on Kentuckians' caller ID as being from a phone number that has the same local area code - 270, 502, 606 or 859.

LWC International students heading into fall break

By Sabine Eastham, Director of International Student Programs at Lindsey Wilson College

This is what it looks like when our students go on Fall break... two vans and a U-Haul trailer... one week sure is a long time!

Some of our international students had a later flight departure, so they got to experience 'Wagner's Pharmacy,' a Louisville Tradition since 1922, where they learned all about DERBY - the good - the bad and the ugly. They LOVED one of the lunch favorites, the 'Derby Sandwich' - hot honey glazed ham with melted swiss cheese and mayo and fries.

Have a safe Fall Break - see you in one week!!
