Oh, Gourd: Bergenfield Grandma Grows Massive Pumpkin Emma Jackson says her cucumbers didn't do so well this year. The cushaw pumpkin, on the other hand, certainly makes up for them. Back in April, the Bergenfield grandmother came across a little seed in her yard. She's not quite sure how it got there, but decided to plant it anyway. To Jackson's surprise, the baby seed grew to become a 23-pound, two-foot-long gourd. "It just kept growing all over the place," the 77-year-old grandmother said.

New List Of Abusive Priests Names Ex-North Jersey Catholic School Admin The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington named a former North Jersey Catholic high school vice principal on its recent list of priests released Monday who are "credibly accused" of sexually abusing minors since 1948.
