Billy Jack Paris, 67, of Port Clinton, passed away peacefully with his family and friends by his side on Friday, Dec. 28.
Ok, it is New Year’s, so it is time once again for The Great Swami (otherwise known as your slightly cynical Beacon newspaper publisher) to predict what Ottawa County will look like in the year 2023. Just having a little fun, OK?
Neither the early evening dusting of snow nor the no-go of a scheduled gig on the David Letterman Show dampened the enthusiasm of Wylie the Walleye and his gathered fans as for the 16th year he dropped at midnight in downtown Port Clinton.
One explanation given for the scheduled David Letterman Show no-go was they were not able to broadcast the feed due to band width mismatch and intermittent signals. However, the Show then broadcast a rerun, so confusion remains, especially since The Letterman Show initiated the contact with WPCR and the Walleye Madness committee.
