This map shows how Susan Collins’ electoral firewall crumbled in York County and other parts of Maine

In her previous five races for the U.S. Senate, Susan Collins had never lost York County. Her ability to overperform other Republicans in the southernmost part of Maine’s left-leaning 1st Congressional District served as an electoral firewall of sorts, helping power Collins to a string of victories over her 30-year Senate career.

Little Bay oyster farm fight grows as residents call for moratorium

DURHAM — Little Bay homeowners oppose an application from two commercial oyster farmers to establish a new four-and-a-half-acre floating gear farm , arguing existing operations already impede recreational access in the estuary. Durham and Newington residents are calling on the state to enact a moratorium on oyster farming in Little Bay, stating the number of farms has changed how boaters, paddleboarders, kayakers and fishermen can navigate the waterway. The waterfront homeowners worry for the future of the bay, saying increased bird defecation and debris from the farms poses environmental risks and pollutes the shoreline. Michael and Stephanie Miller moved to the Durham side of Little Bay four years ago, a decision they wouldn’t change. “But what will happen if this turns into one of the largest commercial oyster farming operations in the United States of America? Then the answer might be no,” Michael Miller said. “Our concern I think that we all share collectively is, how do we know that’s not going to happen?” “We pay a premium to live on the water to have the views and the access,” added Stephanie Miller. “We’ve had our taxes increased, many of us 50% to 60% over the last year. They’re taking

'Grit and tenacity': Somersworth offensive line paving the way in Division III playoffs

SOMERSWORTH — In last Saturday's 50-21 Division III quarterfinal playoff win over Laconia , the Somersworth High School football team had three backs all run for more than 100 yards, and had a total of 444 yards in the game. Somersworth head coach Jeremy Lambert pointed to the guys on the offensive line, and said that the success of the running game starts with grit and tenacity. And more standout performances will be needed in Saturday's semifinal game against No. 3 Monadnock. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. in Somersworth. "We need our line to continue to be able to keep their heads up, and play with some grit and tenacity, that's what it takes to play on the line with your hand in the dirt," Lambert said. "Those guys need to keep doing what they're doing there. They're going to move some bodies and they have the ability to do that." Seniors Collin Patterson and Brian Bjorkman have been at it for four years, and they are paired with a trio of sophomores in Diante Adams, Cole Garrett and Evan Utgard. Bjorkman, at 6-foot-1, 250 pounds, is at left tackle; Patterson, at 6-foot-2, 240, is at left guard; Garrett,
