WCME News -- Your 24 /7 Midcoast Breaking News Leader

Another eruption in the increasingly volatile U-S Senate campaign of Graham Platner.

Ronald Holmes, Platner's finance director, is leaving the campaign, citing differences in what he refers to as "professional standards."

This announcement marks the latest shake-up for Platner’s campaign following a series of controversies, including the resignation of his political director, and his campaign manager announced earlier this week he would be leaving, citing family reasons.

In a post on LinkedIn, Holmes does not cite any specific issue or incident that led to his decision, but he says that "somewhere along the way, I began to feel that my professional standards as a campaign professional no longer fully aligned with those of the campaign.”

In a statement, a Platner campaign spokesperson appears to minimize the impact of Holmes' departure, saying "Ron helped the campaign reach out to big dollar donors, and we appreciated his efforts. But the reality is our campaign’s fundraising success has come largely from small dollar donors."

WCME News -- Your 24/7 Midcoast Breaking News Leader

After only an hour of deliberations, a Cumberland County jury has ruled that negligence four years ago on the part of Mid Coast Medical Group, affiliated with Mid Coast Hospital, partly led to the death of a 15-year-old girl, whose mother they awarded $25 million in damages.

Lyndsey Sutherland sued the agency, which she argued was negligent when treating her daughter Jasmine Vincent, who had been experiencing sore, swollen breasts and veins as well as respiratory issues.

An attorney for Mid Coast has declined comment.

Jasmine Vincent died in 2021, and testing revealed she had an acute form of pediatric leukemia, which hadn’t been diagnosed prior to her death.

Moving on gratefully.

Calling it an opportunity " I cannot decline, " Harpswell Harbormaster and Marine Resources Administrator Paul Plummer has resigned after eight years with the town to begin a new chapter as harbormaster for Portland. His last day in Harpswell will be November 7.

Plummer also says he's grateful "for the opportunity this town has provided me and will greatly miss the relationships that have been built.”

Town staff are recommending Darci Couture as interim harbormaster in the aftermath of Plummer's departure.

FIRST from WCME News

A hot pursuit today in Brunswick lands a woman from Bath in the Cumberland County Jail.

Police say they first attempted to stop a motor vehicle on Rt. 1 near Cooks Corner for a criminal traffic offense. The operator, 33-year-old Emily Schroder, tried to elude officers at a high rate of speed as she was northbound.

The pursuit was terminated shortly thereafter, but several minutes later, an officer located the vehicle on Oak Street, and Schroder drove toward and intentionally rammed the front of the cruiser, which had been stopped, with her vehicle. She then backed up, and struck the parked cruiser again, this time harder, although the officer, who was inside the cruiser, was not injured.

Schroder accelerated away and the pursuit entered Topsham, Bowdoin and Bowdoinham, then onto northbound I-295. Schroder drove at extreme speeds and officers again terminated the pursuit, but the woman was later located at a gas station in Richmond, where she was arrested after a citizen called police to report that she had been bragging about eluding officers.

Officers from several departments took her into custody, she was evaluated at Mid Coast Hospital and transported to the jail.

Schroder is now charged with eluding an officer, refusing to submit to arrest, aggravated criminal mischief and more.

From WCME News -- Your 24/7 Midcoast Breaking News Leader

It lasted for only 16 minutes but Mt. Ararat High School initiated a shelter-in-place protocol today after another anonymous tip about a bomb threat, which was determined to be unfounded.

School Superintendent Heidi O' Leary says the tip charged that a student had made a “vocal bomb threat in a classroom."

The student named in the tip was located, a search was conducted, and law enforcement quickly completed an investigation.

Jim Bleikamp here.

We didn't plan it this way but we believe that it's rather way cool that fate has determined that not only will 99-5 WCME bring you live coverage of the Mt. Ararat-Yarmouth regional football playoff on Halloween, but the game will be called by none other than Robert Bowen, who has spent the past few months as the Brunswick Dragon first-string quarterback.

Even as a high school senior, Robert is already a sportscasting veteran, having called many a game on the Brunswick High Sports Network, which provides quaity coverage of numerous Brunswick sports online.

And last year, when we needed some similar help, Robert answered the call and sounded like he was born to be in front of our microphone.

Reminds me a little of the youthful Dale Arnold, whose sportscasting career began at WCME in 1973--calling the games of the Brunswick Dragons.

Our regular sportscaster Alan Ozarowski is taking Halloween off, but all is well because Robert will be filling in, and will be joined by our football analyst Todd Alcock.

We're live at 6:55 from Topsham on Halloween night on 99-5 WCME!!!
