ACTUALITÉ
Une primeur d'envergure nationale à Alfred
chantal.quirion@eap.on.ca A LFRED
C’était un grand jour pour plusieurs alors que se tenait la première course de chevaux de format 5/16 depuis 15 ans en Ontario. L’événement, qui s’est déroulé le 1 er juillet sur le site du Cedar Shade Campground à Alfred, a attiré quelques centaines de spectateurs, un excellent dé- part assurent les organisateurs Philippe Trudeau et Sylvain Péladeau. Ce dernier indiquait que son père, Jacques Péladeau, rêvait de bâtir une telle piste depuis long- temps. «Ça fait 20 ans que mon père en parle. Quand Philippe est arrivé et qu’on s’est mis à parler de chevaux, je lui ai dit d’ac- cord, je construit la piste mais tu t’occupes du reste. » Philippe Trudeau a une longue expé- rience professionnelle comme jockey et s’y connaît très bien en élevage de chevaux. Il a un faible pour les races S tandardbred et Trottingbred. Son père, Yves Trudeau, bien connu dans le monde équin, a lui aussi donné un bon coup de pouce pour démarrer cet am- bitieux projet. Et comme il y a toujours une femme derrière un grand homme, les con- jointes des organisateurs, Isabelle Labbé et Josée Péladeau, ont une grande part qui leur revient dans le succès connu. Dimanche dernier, les gens ont ainsi pu assister à ces fameuses courses mettant en vedette les plus beaux sujets de la race Trottingbred. Les compétiteurs sont venus d’aussi loin que Mont-Laurier pour parti- ciper à ce circuit, premier d’une série qui se
Pour être fixé sur la situation, il est préféra- ble de contacter le 613 679-4447. Pour obtenir plus d’information, contactez Phi- lippe Trudeau à l’adresse : p.trudeau@standardbredevolution.comou visitez le site http:// standardbredevolution.com. La foule a pu apprécier le savoir faire des jockeys dans ces courses attelées. En mortaise, le commentateur Danny Émond. Photos : Chantal Quirion
poursuit le 28 juillet avec la deuxième com- pétition du programme officiel. Il y avait 16 chevaux d’inscrits pour cette première com- pétition où la foule a applaudi le savoir faire des jockeys. Comme promis, l’animateur profession- nel Danny Emond était sur place et s’est dit ravi d’animer cette journée. « Je ne voudrais être nul part ailleurs. » Passionné, il racontait qu’il a commencé à animer à l’âge de cinq ans en regardant le journal. À 19 ans, il débutait sur le circuit professionnel où il est toujours actif à l’âge de 45 ans. Lorsque l’Hippodrome de Mon- tréal a fermé en 2009, c’est une partie de lui qui est morte en même temps, confiait-il pour illustrer combien ce sport fait partie de sa vie. Le public d’Alfred a donc eu droit à une prestation professionnelle à tous les
niveaux. D’ici la deuxième course, une clinique se tient cette fin de semaine, le 7 juillet, au Cedar Shade Campground sur l’art de la course équine. Un professionnel du do- maine sera sur les lieux. L’activité s’adresse à tous et les chevaux sontfournispourcetatelier.L’undesgrands objectifs des promoteurs est de communi- quer cette passion pour la race Trottingbred et peut-être, de voir un jour un élevage se constituer dans la région. Quant au deuxième départ le 8 juillet, il se tiendra dès 13 h au Cedar Shade Campground du 530, chemin Péladeau à Alfred. Le coût d’entrée est de 5 $ et donne accès à la baignade dans l’ancienne car- rière. Si jamais il pleuvait abondamment, les organisateurs devront annuler la course.

ACTUALITÉ Comparutions pour le meurtre de Joey Faubert
chantal.quirion@eap.on.ca L'ORIGNAL
Les trois jeunes hommes, eux, demeu- rent derrière les verrous. Ils comparaîtront par vidéoconférence, le 18 juillet. Nico Joseph Soublière, 20 ans de Greely et Cody Henry, 19 ans d’Ottawa sont accusés de meurtre au premier degré et de complot. Pour sa part, Martin Lamoureux, 18 ans, de St-Isidore est accusé de meurtre au second degré et de complot. Deux jeunes filles de Stormont Nord comparaîtront à la fin d’août pour complot. La salle, quoique petite, était bondée et plusieurs proches de la victime et des accu- sés étaient présents lors ce cette audience. La porte-parole de la PPO, la sergente Kristine Rae faisait par ailleurs observer qu’il est très rare qu’une enquête donne des résultats aussi rapidement. « L’équipe d’enquête a été très efficace et c’est tant mieux pour la famille qui vit quelque chose d’aussi difficile », soulignait- elle lors d’un point de presse devant le tribunal. Plus d’un site ont été perquisitionnés dans le cadre de cette enquête qui se pour- suit. Il n’est pas exclu que la liste d’accusés s’allonge. Quant au mobile du crime, de même que les conclusions de l’autopsie, la PPO de- meure muette pour ne pas nuire au déroulement judiciaire. Certaines de ces informations étant des éléments de preu- ves. Les enquêteurs, sous la direction du dé- tective Dan Nadeau, sont toujours installés dans les locaux de l’école pour t accueillir des témoins. Le public est également invité à communiquer avec la PPO via le site : www.opp.ca ou de communiquer avec le déta- chement de Hawkesbury au 613 632-2729.
Deux accusés de meurtre prémédité, un autre de meurtre non prémédité et trois jeunes filles accusées de complot, portent ainsi à six le nombre de personnes impliquées dans le meurtre de Joey Faubert. Le jeune homme de 24 ans de St-Isidore a été trouvé sans vie derrière l’école élémen- taire catholique de St-Isidore, samedi dernier.
Mardi, alors que les trois jeunes hommes accusés de meurtre comparaissaient à la Cour de justice de l’Ontario, à L’Orignal, on apprenait qu’une sixième personne avait été arrêtée la nuit précédente en relation avec cette affaire. Cette dernière, une mineure de Greely dans la région d’Ottawa, a aussi été tra- duitedevantletribunal,accuséedecomplot. Celle-ci a été remise en liberté condition- nelle en attendant la suite des procédures judiciaires. La victime Joey Faubert de St-Isidore. facebook
