Officials Urge Safe Boating this Weekend

wikipedia.org

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says low levels on Lake Barkley means boaters will need to be careful on the water over the Memorial Day weekend.  

Barkley is at just over 357 feet, a foot and a half below normal for this time of year.  Corps officials say if you plan on boating on the lake, you should be on the lookout for obstructions that may be exposed or just below the surface.

Todd Hatton hails from Paducah, Kentucky, where he got into radio under the auspices of the late, great John Stewart of WKYX while a student at Paducah Community College. He also worked at WKMS in the reel-to-reel tape days of the early 1990s before running off first to San Francisco, then Orlando in search of something to do when he grew up. He received his MFA in Creative Writing at Murray State University. He vigorously resists adulthood and watches his wife, Angela Hatton, save the world one plastic bottle at a time.
