Snowmobilers face charges
newsroom@eap.on.ca
H AWKESBURY
Several snowmobilers were charged during an Ontario Provincial Police blitz on
trails in East Hawkesbury, Champlain and Alfred-Plantagenet and Hawkesbury.
While 13 were ticketed for speeding, two were charged with failing to have trail
passes, three with failing to have insurance and three with plate offences.
Impaired sledding charge
Responding to a complaint about a “suspicious person” riding a snowmobile on
Concession 1 in Treadwell at approximately 3 a.m. February 24, officers intercepted the
machine. Mario Lalonde, 40, of Concession 1 in Treadwell was arrested and charged
with failing to provide a breath sample. The snowmobile was towed and the accused
is facing the same consequences as if he had been driving a car intoxicated.
With the anticipated arrival of warmer temperatures over the next month, the Ontario
Provincial Police is reminding snowmobile enthusiasts to plan their routes carefully.

$50 million the Hawkesbury couple had
won in the December 30 Lotto Max lottery.
The Champagnes, who have two adult
children, have already made plans for their
windfall. They have purchased a new car,
put a down-payment on a new house and
invested in their son’s business, a
downtown restaurant. They also plan to
share the wealth with their community.
The prize claim was subject to Ontario
Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s Insider
Wins process as the Champagnes had each
been employed as lottery retailers within
the past year. Long-time Hawkesbury
residents, Gaetan, 51, and JoAnn, 49, have
been playing the lottery for many years, but
this was their first major win. “We found
