1. Fatal overnight accident in Standish (wgme.com) — Overnight, a head-on crash on Chadbourne Road in Standish killed a Chevy Impala driver and seriously injured three people in a tow truck. Gorham firefighters were among the departments called in when the car was reported on fire, and the road stayed closed for hours while investigators reconstructed the scene.
2. How to start mountain biking in Maine (pressherald.com) — Gorham riders are at the center of this guide to getting into mountain biking in Maine, with local group rides, trails, and scenes from recent Greater Portland NEMBA meetups in town. The article also highlights Gorham Bike & Ski's advice on choosing a starter bike, adaptive riding options, skills classes, and trail resources that Gorham residents can tap into right now.
3. Supreme Court abortion vote shadows election for Collins (arkansasonline.com) — Datelined from Gorham, this piece explains how Susan Collins' 2018 vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh and the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade are shaping her upcoming Senate race. It focuses on statewide voter reactions, Planned Parenthood's role, and Democratic challenger Troy Jackson's strategy, offering Gorham residents context for a high-stakes election rather than town-specific changes.
4. Supreme Court vote shadows Maine Sen. Susan Collins in her first race after abortion rights decision (indepthnh.org) — Reported from Gorham, this article digs into how Susan Collins' vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh and the end of Roe v. Wade are influencing her first reelection campaign since the decision. It weighs Democrat Troy Jackson's challenge, voter frustration and support, and Maine's current abortion protections, giving Gorham residents broader political context rather than neighborhood-level news.
