LINCOLN | Vermont State Police are investigating a fatal accident which occurred on Sunday, Aug 26, at approximately 11:25 a.m. The accident involved an allterrain vehicle (ATV) on Elder Hill Road in Lincoln. The Vermont State Police arrived on the scene, along with members of the Lincoln Fire Department and the Bristol Rescue Squad. However, the ATV’s operator, Troy Gadue, 56, of Monkton, succumbed to the injuries before either troopers or first responder crews arrived. VSP Trooper Christopher Hein of the New Haven barracks reported that his investigation indicated that Gadue was traveling south on Elder Hill Road. “The operator traveled left of center into the opposing lane, and left the road surface. After leaving the roadway, he struck several smaller trees before the ATV came to a position of rest,” according to Hein’s accident report. In addition, Hein noted, “Gadue sustained blunt force trauma to the right side of his head and right side of his torso. Gadue was found not wearing a helmet. Although speed does not appear to be a contributing factor, Gadue’s suspected consumption of intoxicants may have played a role in the crash.” Authorities ask that anyone who may have witnessed this motor vehicle crash is asked to contact the Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks at 388-4919. ■

MIDDLEBURY| Several Vermont State Police barracks and municipal police station in our area now accept unused and unwanted prescription medication from members of the public year-round. Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine called the drop boxes “a welcome addition to the array of opportunities for people to clean out their medicine cabinets.” So far, the following police and sheriff’s stations now have drug drop boxes for local residents: Brandon Police Department, Bristol Village Police Department, Castleton Police Department, Hinesburg Police Department, Middlebury Police Department, and the Rutland County Sheriff’s Office. In addition, the Vermont State Police barracks in New Haven and Rutland have been added to the list. The expansion of secure drop box locations to the lobbies of state police barracks across the state will give residents of Addison and Rutland counties a convenient and safe way to remove the drugs from their homes. The successful semi-annual state and federal Prescription Drug Take Back Day partnership will continue, next one scheduled for Oct. 27. » Drug drop Cont. on pg. 5

H. Brooke Paige of Washington, Vermont — the Republican candidate who acted as a ballot placeholder to prevent subterfuge by Democrats during Vermont’s open primary process — and who nabbed six party seats in the 2018 state primary, has officially notified the Vermont Republican Party that he is now withdrawing from five of the six primary elections which he won. According to Paige, he is withdrawing from the following races: U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, State Treasurer, Attorney General and Auditor of Accounts. However, Paige intended to so from the start and made his intentions clear to GOP officials in the spring. In an Aug. 21 letter to Deborah

Billado, chair of the Vermont GOP, Paige stated that he is withdrawing from all the primary races he won except for Secretary of State. Paige has expressed frustration with GOP officials; he told TNR at a candidates’ forum in Rutland in early August that party leaders failed to secure qualified candidates for several of the state primary races. Paige also informed Billado in the letter that he had suggested an arrangement with Vermont Director of Elections and Campaign Finance Will Senning last week to enable the GOP’s nominating committee to meet and “permit a timely withdrawal by me and the submission of agreeable Nomination by Committee affidavits to the state elections division.” » Paige Cont. on pg. 5
