First of all, an Amish funeral will be occurring this week near Highway 1297 in Barren County. Also, Sheriff Kent Keen reported a schedule change for the Beaver Recreation area. While Barren County Sheriff Kent Keen says that his deputies will still patrol the area, there is no longer camping. The decision was made by the U.S. Army Corps of engineers. The gates will now close at 6:00 pm.
