New England’s own “Great Pumpkin” was crowned today at the Topsfield Fair, a monster gourd tipping the scales at 1,471.6 pounds. But this year’s contest had bittersweet undertones.

Hugh Wiberg, one of the creators of the fair’s All New England Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off, died Friday after a long illness. He was 76.

“His whole life was growing these pumpkins,” said Sally O’Maley, a spokeswoman for the Topsfield Fair.

Lawrence and state police have arrested a second man in the July 31 slaying of a Chinese-food deliveryman, Essex County prosecutors said today.

Officers arrested 17-year-old Ronny Ramos of Lawrence at about 9:20 p.m. Friday, charging him with murdering Thu Nguyen, 59, of Methuen.

Police previously arrested Daniel Lopez, 21, of Lawrence, who pleaded not guilty at his District Court arraignment on Aug. 17. Both men were indicted Friday by an Essex County Grand Jury for first-degree murder and unarmed robbery.

Ramos is to be arraigned Monday in Salem Superior Court. Lopez will be arraigned in Superior Court in about two weeks, prosecutors said in a statement.

The two men allegedly attacked Nguyen at a South Union Street address where he had gone to deliver Chinese food. The deliveryman suffered blunt force trauma to the head and died the next day.

Governor Deval Patrick today vigorously challenged the findings of a powerful congressman who had sharply rebuked the governor for not spending nearly a half-billion dollars in federal highway stimulus funds quickly enough to create jobs for struggling families.

Governor Deval Patrick

US Representative James L. Oberstar, chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, had written a letter to Patrick on Thursday stating that Massachusetts ranks 49th in the nation in putting the money to work, having committed only 23 percent of its funds so far.

In a letter to Oberstar today, Patrick argued that the congressman's rebuke was based on an "inappropriate one-size-fits-all analysis," because it takes into account only the speed at which the funds are being spent and not the projects that are being undertaken or their ultimate economic benefit.

Exercise at the library? It may sound kid of odd. But organizers of the "Literacise" event today at the Boston Public Library say that when kids exercise, it may make them better able to focus their minds and sit down and read.

“It’s the notion that when kids are more active physically, they’re also able to absorb information academically,” said Gina Perille, a library spokeswoman.

The event was held to celebrate the opening of a 60-by-15-foot bilingual interactive exhibit area in which children are encouraged to be active. The exhibit was Inspired by a children’s book by Irene Smalls, “Jonathan and His Mommy,” where a boy and his mother make walking the fun part of their journey through Boston’s South End. Perille said it was Smalls who first brought the idea of “Literacise” to the library.

“What we say at the Boston Public Library is that books are just the beginning, because books are just the beginning of what the Boston Public Library can do for the city,” Perille said.

The event attracted about 150 children. Smalls and Mayor Thomas M. Menino participated in the ribbon cutting. The exhibit will be up for six months.

The college that once told high school seniors to stop cramming so many extracurricular activities on their resumes has taken another step towards making applications less stressful -- MIT has done away with the traditional, and much fussed-over, long essay.

The 500-word essay has been replaced by three short answers between 200 and 250 words. The change was made for this year's applicants as a way to elicit more candid answers to questions such as how one approached a significant challenge, said Stuart Schmill, MIT's dean of admissions.

"We wanted to remove that larger-than-life qualify to that one essay and take away a bit of the high stakes nature of that one piece, " Schmill said.

The hand-wringing that went along with the long essay, which has become the icon of the college application, has spawned a cottage industry of college consultants, companies that edit students' essays, and overnight camps where students can seek help.

In addition to the life challenge question, this year's applicants will be asked to write about something they have created and to tell admissions staff about their worlds. To those who lament the sudden space constraint, Schmill said, "We're not asking them to send us a text message." Or a tweet.

But the political infighting that has already gripped the campaign between Mayor Thomas M. Menino and his challenger, City Councilor Michael F.

The bloody body of Sheila Santos, 26, was found near the back entrance of her brick apartment building on Main Street. Investigators believe she was killed shortly after leaving work at 1:15 a.m. at Alex's in Stoughton, putting her time of death between 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. At an afternoon press conference, Middlesex District Attorney Gerald T. Leone Jr. would not say how Santos had been killed or speculate about a motive.

"I don't want to characterize what we are thinking at this time," Leone said. "The investigation is narrowing as we speak and we fully expect it to be a successful homicide investigation."

Santos's grief-stricken friends described her as a native of Brazil who had at least two sisters living in the area. Santos had an active social life in the local Brazilian community.

"She didn't have any enemies," said one friend, Allen Sousa. "She was very happy, always smiling."

Rough seas pounding Minot Light in 2002.

By Martin Finucane, Globe Staff

Two towns and two non-profit groups have expressed interest in taking over Minot's Ledge Light, a 114-foot granite tower that juts out of the ocean off Scituate.

The towns of Cohasset and Scituate sent in letters of interest to the federal government, which is looking for someone to transfer the property to, said Paula Santangelo, New England spokeswoman for the US General Services Adminstration, the government's real estate arm. Two non-profit groups also sent letters, but Santangelo said she couldn't release their names.

David Ball, president of the Scituate Historical Society, said his group was one of the non-profits. He said it was possible that his group could ally with the two towns to try to maintain the lighthouse, but it was still very early in the process. The town administrators in Cohasset and Scituate couldn't be reached for comment this afternoon.

Toward the end of a press conference Wednesday on her Senate candidacy, Attorney General Martha Coakley was asked how her gender would be a factor in the contest.

“I think that it is a plus in this race; I won’t deny it,’’ she said. “I could break into a Broadway tune of ‘I Enjoy Being A Girl.’ But I’m not going to do that. My campaign folks would kill me.’’

They would have, especially had they known the rest of the song lyrics.

The song, a showtune from the 1958 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Flower Drum Song,” is mostly about a woman longing to be the object of male affection. It references the very feminine stereotypes that Coakley is hoping to shatter by becoming the state’s first female US senator.

To wit, the lyrics include the lines, “I am proud that my silhouette is curvy”; “I drool over dresses made of lace”; and one that references “the compliment’ry whistle that greets my bikini by the sea.”

The song was redone for a 2005 Gap commercial starring Sarah Jessica Parker, was the title of a CD put out by comedian Rosanne Barr, and has at least one known use in politics: “I Enjoy Being Al Gore” was recorded by Capitol Steps, the Washington satire group, on a 1998 CD.

Coakley seems unlikely to use it as a campaign theme song. If she does, though, she might want to highlight this one line, which, though it would compare her to a horse in a 1950s kind of way, sort of translates to politics: "Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy / Like a filly who is ready for the race!”

The meeting, convened at the request of Governor Deval Patrick, is part of an effort by state officials to calm a firestorm that was ignited two weeks ago with the publication of an e-mail from the state's education secretary that suggested the Patrick administration may have pushed for the charter school's approval last winter to advance the rest of the governor's education agenda.

Governor Deval Patrick announced this morning that September revenues came in $243 million below expectations, a shortfall that may trigger more state cutbacks and layoffs.

Governor Deval Patrick

The slumping revenue came after several tax hikes and will force state officials over the next two weeks to downgrade revenue estimates for the remainder of the fiscal year. That process will likely cause deeper cuts, forcing the state to further reduce the local aid it sends to cities and towns.

"It's certainly on the table," Patrick said at a press conference this morning after meeting with his Cabinet at the State House. "Because it's unavoidable."

At the same time, Patrick pointed to positive signs in the private sector, noting that Massachusetts was doing well compared to other states. As the private economy bounces back, tax revenues often lag behind, he said.

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino called his challenger's pick of a running mate an example of "jobs for votes" as a mostly harmonious televised debate ended on a testy note this evening.

City Councilor Michael F. Flaherty Jr. bristled at Menino's remarks, calling them "distasteful, quite frankly, and a little mean-spirited."

The tense exchange between the two candidates came at the end of an hourlong debate on WCVB-TV (Channel 5) in which the two men calmly and earnestly offered their views on everything from crime to the schools to employment, with Menino generally defending his 16-year record and Flaherty calling for change and new ideas.

Calling it a "partnership for change," Flaherty this week teamed up with City Councilor Sam Yoon, who finished third in the preliminary election last month. Flaherty received 24 percent of the vote in that election, which allowed him to continue to face Menino, who had 51 percent, in the Nov. 3 election. Yoon fell short with only 21 percent of the vote.

Flaherty and Yoon are now running as a "ticket" against Menino, who is seeking an unprecedented fifth term. Flaherty's will be the only name on the ballot, but he has pledged to make Yoon a deputy mayor if he wins.

The director of federal security at Logan International Airport told a local television news station today that investigators are comparing the handwriting in two threatening notes found on separate American Airlines flights between Boston and Miami in the last two weeks.

The most recent note -- discovered in the bathroom of American Flight 1037 on Wednesday afternoon -- forced a crew at Logan to remove all luggage before takeoff in a search for explosives. Investigators took multiple photographs of the note, which warned of a "bomb on board," for comparison with a similar note found on a Miami to Boston flight on Sept. 18, according to George Naccara, federal security director for the Transportation Security Administration in Boston.

"There may be some analysis comparing this note to a couple of weeks ago on another American Airlines flight to see whether it was the same person," Naccara told WHDH Channel 7 news in an on-camera interview. "To see if they have any kind of leads which could come from handwriting analysis."

The family of a handicapped man killed by Dartmouth police filed a federal civil rights lawsuit today alleging that the officers were poorly trained and used excessive force when they fatally shot Joseph Ramos Jr. a few hundred yards from his home last August.

The lawsuit filed in US District Court in Boston argues that Ramos had a chronic neurological condition that so weakened his legs he could not have been a threat to police when he tried to get up off the ground during the 8:30 p.m. confrontation on Milton Street in Dartmouth.

"Ramos was unarmed and in a non-threatening position when he was shot,’’ the family alleged in the lawsuit, which described him suffering from a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease that left his legs feeble and painful. "Accordingly, his movements were slow and he could neither have easily lifted himself off the ground nor ran at (or quickly away) from the officers … deadly force was not needed.’’

The quick windfall indicates that the lesser known Khazei may be able to compete with more established politicians such as Attorney General Martha Coakley, who announced on Wednesday that she had raised more than $2 million in the first month of her campaign.

"I have been humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of financial support in response to our campaign of Big Citizenship and empowering people," Khazei said in a statement issued by his campaign, which noted that he had not taken "a dime of PAC and lobbyist money."

It was not immediately clear how much of the $1 million had been raised since Khazei launched his campaign on Sept. 24 and how much had came from commitments made before he entered the race. The special election to fill the vacancy left by the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy is Jan. 19, with a primary on Dec. 8.

Three public schools went briefly into lockdown this morning in Dorchester as police searched for a gunman who fired several errant shots at a car, police said.

The gunman opened fire just before 9 a.m. near the intersection of Columbia Road and Geneva Avenue. No one was struck by a bullet, but it appears that the shooting caused one vehicle to crash into another. Police blocked off the area as they search for the gunman.

The driver of a Honda, in an apparent attempt to elude the gunfire, backed into a Toyota. As the shots rang out, the occupants of the Honda got out of the vehicle and fled in different directions, according to police.

Elaine Driscoll, police spokeswoman, said it is too early to determine if the shooting was targeted. No suspects have been arrested.

The three schools -- Jeremiah E. Burke High School on Washington Street; Lilla G. Frederick Pilot Middle School on Columbia Road; and the John P. Holland Elementary School on Olney Street -- remained in what officials described as "safe mode" until about 10:30 a.m.

"No one [was] allowed in or out of the building, but learning [continued] as normal," said Matthew Wilder, spokesman for Boston Public Schools. "The students probably [weren’t] even aware of it."

James L. Franklin covered the pope's visit to the city for The Globe.

Pope John Paul II was in Boston for only a few hours that autumn day, arriving in the middle of the day and flying out early the next morning for the rest of his US visit. But the ripples from the visit were felt for months, even years afterward.

Boston was ill at ease in the days before John Paul arrived, particularly over street-level violence fueled by lingering resentment of school desegregation, demonstrations against it, official crackdowns, and sometimes faltering efforts at reconciliation by black and white leaders.

Perhaps the most serious incident was the shooting of a black student, Darryl Williams, on a football field in Charlestown, that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

A massive crowd filled the Common, hoping to catch a glimpse of the pope.

Susan McCarthy Grady remembers the garbage bags. Someone had realized they could make some money by selling the bags to the shivering people who had been waiting for hours in the cold rain and harsh wind to see the Pope at his historic 1979 visit to Boston Common.

"Ours were green. I don't know the brand," she said.

Rik Tinory, who had been commissioned by the archdiocese of Boston to make a recording of the event and was running his equipment from the top of a subway kiosk, remembers the earth trembling when the crowd chanted, "Long live the Pope!"

"They started this chant. It built and built and built and the ground was shaking," he said.

Rev. Francis Strahan recalls that he was supposed to sing a hymn for the Pope, but the Pope had to take a rain check.

"There were sails covering the altar. They were taking on water," he said.

Thirty years ago Thursday, a vast ocean of the faithful gathered on Boston Common, despite gathering darkness, pouring rain, biting wind, and slippery mud, to see Pope John Paul II. The crowd, estimated at 400,000, some of whom had waited for hours, strained to get a glimpse of the pope as he celebrated Mass on a three-story-high wooden altar erected on Charles Street. His arrival had been trumpeted for weeks in the local media.

With the anniversary approaching, some of those who were there reminisced about the event today – and all agreed on one thing: It was a historic event imbued with a special feeling.

A federal judge ruled today that the government should pay a total of $1.85 million to the families of two young women and a man who were allegedly slain by long-time FBI informants James "Whitey" Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi in the 1980s.

After finding the government liable in the deaths, US District Judge William G. Young awarded $350,000 to the families of each of the three victims because of the conscious pain and suffering endured by Debra Davis, 26, who was strangled in 1981; Deborah Hussey, 26, who was strangled in 1985; and 45-year-old Louis Litif, who was stabbed and shot in 1980.

In addition, the judge awarded $800,000 to Litif's widow and two children, who were 15 and 20 when he died, for the loss of his financial and emotional support.

The judge found that even though the mothers of Davis and Hussey suffered enormous grief, they weren't entitled to additional damages for the loss of their daughters' companionship, comfort, and emotional support because the women were adults living on their own when they were slain.

The family of a Groton man who drowned off Chatham last year now wants the Cape Cod town to pay $10 million in damages, asserting that the community failed to adequately warn about the dangers of swimming in an area known as The Point.

Thomas McDonald, his wife, Theresa, and their children, Connor and Kinley, were at a part of Lighthouse Beach known as The Point when he noticed that his daughter had been pulled into the water by a swift current. McDonald rushed in to save the child, but was unable to save himself.

Kinley McDonald was rescued with the help of an off-duty lifeguard.

“What we’ve uncovered so far is that the water looks very calm and looks relatively shallow,’’ McDonald family attorney James A. Swartz of Boston said today. “But there is a very strong current or rip tide that will trap someone and pull them out to sea.’’

Swartz said Kinley McDonald is haunted by her father’s death. “She struggles, to be honest,’’ he said. “She has a very difficult time. This was a very, very close knit family… she was not only part of the whole tragedy, but witnessed it first hand. So she’s had a rough time.’’

More than 40 Framingham high school students earlier this month turned out for a fistfight between two boys that was planned by cellphones and texting. Some students then videotaped the fray and posted the video on Facebook, officials said.

The two 15-year-old sophomores who fought were charged with juvenile counts of assault and battery for allegedly beating each other up shortly after classes dismissed on Sept. 14. However, it is unlikely the students who videotaped or watched the fight will face any charges because technically they did not violate any laws, said Lieutenant Paul Shastany, a Framingham police spokesman.

Bikers who want to pedal to the Forest Hills MBTA station and then hop on the subway will be able to store their bikes safely in a new, state-of-the-art bike cage, Boston's first such facility, transportation officials said today.

And the installation of the cage and a previous one installed last year at Alewife station in Cambridge are just the beginning, the officials said. The MBTA plans to use $4.8 million in federal stimulus funds to build as many as 10 additional cages and as many as 50 covered bike racks at the transit system's stations.

The MBTA for too long has "underinvested" in transit and bicycle facilities, Transportation Secretary James A. Aloisi Jr. said in a statement.

A Level 3 sex offender who served 27 years in prison was arrested Monday for allegedly trying to rape a woman who was jogging on isolated Plum Island Beach in Ipswich.

Scott Gagnon (Sex Offender Registry Board)

The arrest came just three days after he was charged with soliciting prostitution in Haverhill, according to a police blotter posted on the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune website.

Scott A. Gagnon, 51, of Tewksbury spread fear in Essex County in the 1970s for repeatedly picking up and raping hitchhikers. He was released from prison in 2007, nearly three decades after he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of rape. On Sept. 25, he was charged with soliciting sexual contact for a fee during a vice squad sting in Haverhill, but he was not held in custody.

Police say Gagnon attacked the jogger Monday on the beach, an expanse of sand that extends for several mile, with much of it included in a national wildlife refuge. The woman got away and called police.

Clasping their hands together and vowing to shake up City Hall, Councilors Sam Yoon and Michael F. Flaherty Jr. declared they have formed a ticket to unseat Mayor Thomas M. Menino in the general election Nov. 3.

As supporters hoisted Flaherty and Yoon placards stapled together, the former rivals vowed to campaign together across the city, combining their campaign operations. Both candidates wore red, white, and blue buttons on their lapels that read: "Flaherty Yoon 09 Courage to Change."

If Flaherty is victorious, he has vowed to appoint Yoon deputy mayor, a position that has not existed since the administration of Mayor Kevin H. White, who left office in 1984. While the exact details of the position, including salary, have not been finalized, Flaherty said Yoon's tasks would include overseeing the computerized auditing of city services and the dismantling of the Boston Redevelopment Authority.

"Together we'll be able to do more for this city than a fifth Menino administration ever dared to dream about," Yoon said, pointing out, "It's two against one now."

Flaherty added: "I think you are looking at the next generation of political leadership in the city of Boston."

Ruben Sanchez stayed out of public view in West Roxbury District Court at the request of his attorney, Ronald Brandt, because the case will likely hinge on witness identification. That frustrated some of the dozen friends and relatives who came to court this morning on behalf of the victim, Paula Castillo. [Police spelled the victim's first name as Paola, but family has said her legal first name was Paula.] One friend, Heidi Santana, said she wanted to set eyes on Sanchez because she was furious that he had allegedly resorted to senseless violence.

"He should have been smarter," said Santana, 18, of Roslindale.

A not-guilty plea was entered on behalf of Sanchez, who was ordered held without bail by Judge Mary Ann Driscoll. The Globe reported today that Sanchez had never met his alleged victim, but showed up at her 18th birthday party at a Hyde Park home with a gun tucked in his pocket, according to her friends.

“During the operation we had one firefighter take some smoke in,” said Chelsea Deputy Fire Chief John Quatieri. The firefighter was taken by ambulance to Whidden Hospital in Everett for smoke inhalation and later released.

Chelsea firefighters fought the fire in the second-floor bathroom of a three-family home for about two hours before knocking it down just after 9 a.m.

The fire, which spread to an adjacent bedroom, displaced 17 residents, who will wait for electrical crews to inspect the building before returning.

Quatieri estimated about $10,000 in damages.

What if one of these got in your eye? Pilots were most likely to report seeing green lasers, like those used in this 2007 light show.

By Martin Finucane, Globe Staff

Pilots flying over Massachusetts reported seeing laser beams flashed in their direction eight times during 2008, with the rays hitting everything from commercial airliners landing at Logan International Airport to a State Police helicopter to the blimp floating over a Red Sox playoff game, according to a review of Federal Aviation Administration data.

The FAA takes all such incidents very seriously, officials said, because of the potential that pilots might be temporarily blinded by the beams.

"Lasers can temporarily impair pilots' vision while they are in the critical landing or takeoff phases of flight," said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the FAA's western region, an area that has seen a large number of laser contacts.

Nationwide, during 2008, there were more than 900 reports by pilots of laser beams illuminating their planes, according to an FAA database obtained by the Globe. The Transportation Department announced in January 2005, after a rash of such incidents, that it was requiring pilots to immediately report laser contacts to air traffic controllers, who would then notify law enforcement.

"You don't want a pilot to be incapacitated," said FAA national office spokeswoman Laura Brown. "The message is: Do not shine laser lights at airplanes. You face federal prosecution and time in jail if you're caught doing this."
