The Harriman Blue Devils will one day put an end to Kingston's winning streak in football, but that day will have to wait at least one more year as the Yellow Jackets travelled to Harriman Friday night and defeated the Blue Devils, 33-15, in a packed house at Wallace Black Field.

Get set for fun, thrills and chills in a historically accurate, spirit-filled adventure through the streets of Harriman.
The annual Hauntings of Historic Harriman will begin at 8 p.m. Oct. 8-9 from the Temperance Building in downtown Harriman.
“The area is home to beautiful Victorian homes and buildings built over a century ago,” said Becky McClurkan, one of the event organizers.
“Given the long history of this area, it should come as no surprise that ghosts and spirits are known all too well to the people living there.”

Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 3429, Midtown, is devoted to helping Hunter King and his family.

A silent auction, bake sale and children’s games are planned.
Hunter suffers from autism, and his family is working with Wilderwood Service Dogs in Maryville to purchase a service dog trained to assist children in Hunter’s situation.

“It was a nightmare.”
That’s what witness Tiffany Coy — the only stylist who was not injured in a Kingston beauty shop that was rammed by a van Tuesday — said about the accident.
But she also said things could have been much worse.
Coy was in a back room of Classic Styles on Race Street when Tuesday’s horrific accident happened.
Ten people were injured — six of them to the extent they had to be transported out by medical helicopters.
Two days after the accident, Coy was still sorting things out.
