From bottom to top and none were missing:
"Farmer Ron Wallace of Greene claimed another world record at the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers’ Annual Weigh Off Saturday, with a pumpkin weighing in at 2,230.5 pounds. The giant gourd beat Wallace’s previous record of 2,009 pounds in 2012. Wallace said his secret is ‘‘a lot of hard work’’ and what he calls his organic wonder fertilizer. The giant gourd won’t be carved for Halloween; Wallace said it may go to the New York Botanical Garden (AP)."
I'll bet there will be plenty of pies made out of it.
Time to work up an appetite:
"Police said they are investigating a South Kingstown private school where several students became sick Thursday after eating food that apparently contained marijuana. The Providence Journal reported that police seized a portion of the suspected marijuana, which will be tested by the Rhode Island Health Department. David Estes, head of The Prout School, said several students became ill upon eating a food item that was brought in by a student or students from outside the Catholic high school (AP)."
"A Perry selectman and another man have been arrested in connection with a fire at a vacant home in town last year, authorities said. Selectman Scott MacNichol is charged with two counts of arson and criminal conspiracy to commit arson. Jeffrey Morrison of Perry, who owned the home, is charged with perjury, two counts of arson, criminal conspiracy to commit arson, and insurance deception. A state fire marshal investigator said the house was burned to collect insurance money. Police said that the two men, who are good friends, are out on bail (AP)."
