And when you traveled that far, finding a moose marsh is easy. At the third gathering place, we saw a late-morning moose ramble back into the woods. Number five! Wow. Moose Alley lived up to its name. We saw a total of four New Hampshire moose and one Vermont moose. Satisfied and triumphant, we relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the trip. I think everyone should take time to moose hunt. Put away the busyness of life and seek out something you just want to do just for the fun of it or just to settle your curiosity. It doesn’t have to be where the electric poles end. It probably is a lot closer.

They are a lovely couple who always open their home and their hearts to their next new friend. The Johnsons are a shining example of the kind of folks that make our community a true home. Mr. Johnson was a home builder in the community and gave so many a chance to build their own foundations for great homes to raise their families. Frances was always behind the scenes, her watchful eye on the final design being evident in the “beauty” part of the homes. Mr. Johnson graduated from Bright High School in 1956. Miss Frances Grubbs graduated from Guilford High School in 1959. She met Clayton on a blind date, despite the school rivalry between Bright and Guilford. The couple will soon celebrate their fifty-seventh wedding anniversary. They credit their long, happy marriage to dedication, always voicing their opinions and making all decisions together. Clayton was drafted into the Army and served proudly for two years during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He spent most of the time on a rock in Key West, FL. and has been a long-time member of the Rising Sun American Legion. The Johnsons raised three children and play an integral part in their extended family, loving every crazy moment. We thank them for their dedication to each other, their family, and to making Bright a wonderful place to live.

ystutz.thebeacon@yahoo.com October 2019 THE BEACON Page 1B S BEACON PORTS SCENE By Chris Jack Nobbe Zoller beaconsports @live.com sports@goBEACONnews.com Week 1 of Southeast Indiana HS Football Week One of the Indiana high school football season got underway on an atypical pleasant night on August 23. Although the temperatures had been hovering in the low 90’s for much of the past week or two, By Mother Nature relented on Maxine Thursday and gave all a Klump great kickoff to the season on her part. The East Community Correspondent Central Trojans and Lawrenceburg Tigers again started off the Skyline Chili neklump.thebeacon@yahoo.com Crosstown Showdown with their game at Lawrenceburg. The Tigers would strike first, and both teams would trade a pair of early touchdowns apiece, but the Trojans would pull away later in the game to claim the win 30-12 giving new head coach Jake Meiners his first career varsity win. Franklin County under second-year coach Wes Gillman, who had previously headed Oldenburg Academy, put together a nice win to begin the season as they traveled to New Castle to battle the Trojans. The Wildcats put up plenty of offense to win the game 36-20. Batesville’s fourth-year coach, Evan Ulery, also found plenty of offense from his Bulldog squad on this first Friday of games in their 45- 28 victory over the Jennings County Panthers in a game played in North Vernon. The Milan Indians were not to be outdone by any area teams in offensive production by recording a 40-20 victory over Rushville. Ryan Langferman is in his 12th overall year leading the program after taking a stint away from the position to pursue administrative duties. Coach Langferman is in his fourth consecutive year holding down the role of principal and head football coach for the Indians. The South Dearborn Knights under coach Rand Ballart were also able to produce some scores on Friday night but fell short to the Seymour Owls 30-26 in a game played at Seymour. Last year’s game was also a close one with less offense and a 7-0 win for the Owls. The Oldenburg Academy Twisters, headed by secondyear Coach Eric Feller, displayed the most offense on the night with a 42-point outburst to take down Rock Creek Academy 42-6. The Lions traveled up from Sellersburg, and both teams had a great treat. The Twisters, without a home field, often use other locations to play home games. To open the 2019 football seasons, the Twisters and Lions competed at The Pit at Elder High School in Cincinnati, which has a storied atmosphere and mystique all its own in Cincinnati football history. Finally, the Greensburg Pirates put up an impressive 52-7 win over Shelbyville on Friday night to force many in the EIAC to sit up and take notice of the team up the road on I-74. Beast of Southeast Conquered The high school cross country season is underway, and the formidable course known as the Beast of the Southeast at Denver Siekman Environmental Park south of Rising Sun played host to a four-way meet for some area teams. The 5K course is well-known to provide quite a challenge. Runners must run a nearly 200-yard hill twice during the race that has an aggressive pitch, little grass, several stones, and a ditch at times. In addition, much of the course is covered, which seemingly would provide shade, but on this course, it largely serves to trap in the afternoon heat and humidity to increase the conditions of the course. Lawrenceburg, Milan, and Taylor (OH) came down to Lawrenceburg senior distance runner Hannah Morgan led from start to finish on the Beast of the Southeast course. Her winning time on the challenging 5K course was 23:24. Lawrenceburg senior Lillie Oelker competed in cross country meet held on the Beast of the Southeast. Oelker finished fifth on the 5K course with 25:38 on the 5K course. compete against the host Shiners. The boys took to the course first on this sweltering afternoon of August 21. Taylor would claim the team win on this day with a score of 29, followed by the Shiners with 48 and Lawrenceburg with 52. Milan had only three runners competing individually with a total of five needed to field a team score. The top spot in the race went to Taylor’s Nick Lake in a time of 18:56. Twelve individual places were given for the race. The next eleven finishers were: Chase Gral (T), Dalton Vinup (RS), Peyton Merica (RS), Grant Hensley (LB), Grant Taylor (RS), Josh Vogelpohl (T), Ryan McCallum (T), Tanner Fox (LB), Gabe Hensley (LB), Alex Eiding (T), and Nolan Saylor (T). The Taylor Lady Yellow Jackets were successful in making this meet a sweep for longtime area track and distance coach Jeff Smith’s teams by scoring 22 to Lawrenceburg’s 39 to take the team victory. Milan competed with one individual runner while Rising Sun had no available runners yet for this race. The girls race was led from start to finish by Lawrenceburg senior Hannah Morgan and won in a time of 23:24 to win by more than a minute over the field on this challenging course. The remaining individual spots were earned by: Megan Fox (T), Mya Bross (T), Julia Gooding (T), Lillie Oelker (LB), Grace Pastrick (T), Anna Brackim (T), Angela Caldwell (T), Alyssa Hudson (T), Aneesa Schwarz (LB), Alyson Galey (LB), and Abby Knowlton (MI). We apologize for any misspelled names. Lawrenceburg’s Mason Parris is shown just after completing his fireman’s carry to put Iran’s Zare on his back in the gold medal match. (Photo courtesy of Mark Parris via United World Wrestling) Parris Dominates in Claiming Junior World Title It may come as little surprise for people tracking the post-high school career of Lawrenceburg’s Mason Parris that he has continued to excel in the sport of wrestling at the University of Michigan. This summer Parris also earned the opportunity to represent his country by competing in the Freestyle Junior World Championships held in Tallinn, Estonia on Aug. 13-14. After an exemplary career as a three-sport student-athlete at Lawrenceburg High School which saw him compete in the state finals of all three sports (including three wrestling state titles), Parris chose to pursue the sport of wrestling full-time on scholarship at Michigan. The added coaching, instruction, scouting, competition, and dedication to wrestling that Parris is gaining through University of Michigan coaching and National Team coaching is paying even more dividends. Parris was chosen to represent the USA in the 125 kg class on the Junior World Championship team. Parris, having grown up as a lighterweight wrestler, developed even some additional moves that most heavyweight competitors do not often see at that weight class. His signature move of the fireman’s carry has proven one very lethal weapon for Parris as he has increasingly grown to compete in the upper weight classes, and it is a move not as commonly used. Indeed, this is what helped lead Parris to the 2019 Freestyle Junior World Championships gold medal in competition in Estonia. From a field of eighteen wrestlers representing eighteen different countries, Parris displayed complete dominance of the field from beginning to end. Parris opened the tournament with wins over Georgia’s Vasil Khvistani with a 10-0 technical superiority victory. He would do the same thing in the quarterfinals with a 10-0 technical superiority victory over Gan Erdene Sodbileg of Mongolia that took only 36 seconds to achieve. In freestyle wrestling, points can add up quickly, but to do that at this level so quickly is quite impressive. The semifinals featured a matchup with Pasa Ekrem Karabulut of Turkey who would eventually be the bronze medalist. Parris disposed of this match 13-2 for another victory by technical superiority. As if those victories were not enough to announce to the world that this young man is coming, the gold-medal match certainly did. In the finals, Parris used a tie situation to set up his signature fireman’s and put competitor Amir Hossein Abbas Zare of Iran on his back early in the first period. Parris would adjust a couple of times with the move before getting the fall call from the official to win the match and the world title. Zare was a Cadet World Champion and Youth Olympic silver medalist in 2018, to give all some scope of the level of competitor Parris was facing. Parris will return to the University of Michigan to compete in a field of national heavyweights that is perhaps the most talented ever. The year 2020 is also an Olympic year, which will put a bit of a shake up in the participation of NCAA wrestlers this season in preparation for the Olympic trials. HEY, YOU’RE OK.
