Lindsey Wilson Men’s Soccer tops Life on the road, 3-1

10/17/2017

MARIETTA, Ga. – The No. 9-ranked Lindsey Wilson men’s soccer team scored three-unanswered goals to top Life (Ga.) by a 3-1 margin on Tuesday afternoon at Lupo Family Field.

The Blue Raiders (9-2-0, 5-0-0 Mid-South Conference) fell behind in the first half to the Running Eagles (7-7-0, 3-2-0 MSC), but a pair of late first-half goals from Tyler Collishaw and an early second-half strike from Mutaya Mwape helped LWC prevail.

Life pulled ahead in the 28th minute after a goal on a free kick from Wessley Soronellas. A foul gave the Running Eagles the free kick from a few yards outside the center of the 18-yard box. While the Blue Raider defense was organizing their wall, Soronellas quickly took the free kick and fired into an open net to put the home side up 1-0.

Lindsey Wilson needed exactly seven minutes to find an equalizer in the 35th minute.

After David Ibrahimkadic lofted a ball over the Life back line, Moustapha Fofana latched onto the end of it, cutting it back to a waiting Collishaw in the center. Collishaw then fired a right-footed shot to the lower left to beat the diving Life goalkeeper for the score. It was Collishaw’s 10th goal of the season in just five games as he has scored in every single appearance this year for the Blue Raiders.

Just five minutes later, Collishaw put the Blue Raiders ahead after converting from the penalty spot in the 40th minute. Collishaw himself earned the penalty after being brought down in the box. He then slammed home the ensuing spot kick home after sending the keeper the wrong way, bringing his season total to a team-best 11 goals.

By the halftime horn, Lindsey Wilson had outshot Life 9-4 and had a 3-1 corner kick advantage.
Mwape needed just 45 seconds in the second half to push things to a 3-1 lead for the Blue Raiders.

With his back to the goal and a defender on him, Franck Bikoya lifted a ball to the middle where it fell to Mwape at the penalty spot. Mwape faked a shot that got both the defender and goalkeeper to go to the ground in an attempt to block it, allowing Mwape to calmly finish into the lower left of the net for the score. With the strike, he rejoined Collishaw for the team lead in goals with 11 this year.

The Blue Raider defense held strong from there as Life managed just five shots in the second half and LWC did not concede a corner kick to the Running Eagles.

Lindsey Wilson finished the match outshooting Life 16-9, including a 10-4 advantage in shots on goal.

The Blue Raiders return to action on Friday night as the host Cumberlands (Ky.) in the regular season home finale, where Senior Night will also be celebrated at Walter S. Reuling Stadium.

Hemp Program Now Taking Applications for 2018

10/17/2017

FRANKFORT (October 17, 2017) -- Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles announced today that the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) has opened the application period for Kentuckians wishing to participate in the state’s industrial hemp research pilot program for the 2018 growing season.

“I am proud to report that our program participants grew more than 3,200 acres of hemp this year, the most ever under the industrial hemp research program,” said Commissioner Quarles. “My vision is to expand and strengthen our research pilot program to put industrial hemp on a responsible path toward commercialization. Our increased production and processing is welcome news for the industry.”

Industrial hemp is one of several alternative crops, including hops and kenaf, that have made headway in Kentucky’s agricultural economy in recent years. In 2017, Kentucky’s farmers planted 3,200 acres of hemp, up from 2,350 acres in 2016, 922 acres in 2015, and 33 acres in 2014, the first year of the program. In addition to 194 grower participants, 48 hemp processors are conducting research as part of the KDA program.

Applications may be downloaded from the KDA website at kyagr.com/hemp. Grower applications must be postmarked or received by November 15, 2017, at 4:30 p.m. EST. Processor/Handler applications are preferred by November 15, 2017, with a final deadline of June 1, 2018.

The KDA is also opening a public comment period for preliminary draft regulations governing the industrial hemp research pilot program. Earlier this year, the Kentucky General Assembly passed Senate Bill 218, tasking the KDA with promulgating administrative regulations for the program. Once the process is complete, program rules will be found in administrative regulations, as the law prescribes.

Department officials ask that interested members of the public submit their comments in writing by October 31 so that the agency can consider those comments prior to filing the regulations with the Legislative Research Commission later this year. The draft administrative regulations will be used as the policy to guide the program in 2018.

The draft regulations are available at kyagr.com/hemp. Written comments may be submitted by mail to KDA Hemp Program, 111 Corporate Drive, Frankfort, KY 40601 or by email to hemp@ky.gov with “Hemp Reg Comments” in the subject line.

KDA operates its industrial hemp research pilot program under the authority of state law (KRS 260.850-260.869) and a provision of the 2014 federal Farm Bill (7 U.S.C. § 5940) that authorizes state-managed hemp pilot programs.
