TRAFFIC STOP IN OLDS RESULTS IN
SEIZURE OF FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS
& DRUGS
Submitted by Alberta
RCMP
On Tuesday, January 21st,
2020, at approximately 9:40
PM, the Olds RCMP respond-
ed to a complaint of a possible
impaired driver in the town
of Olds. A short time later, an
officer located the vehicle and
determined that the male driv-
er was wanted on outstand-
ing warrants. The male was
arrested and an initial search
of the vehicle revealed what
appeared to be several fraud-
ulent documents including fal-
sified identification cards and
licences. Through the course
of the investigation a female
passenger disclosed to police
that she had been assaulted by
the driver.
A search warrant was ob-
tained to further search the
vehicle which resulted in a
seizure of various drugs, in-
cluding what is suspected to be
heroine and fentanyl.
Evan Mitchell Balchen (31)
of Spruce Grove has been
charged with eleven offences,
including:
• Unlawful possession of
identity documents
• Trafficking of a controlled
substance
• Possession of a controlled
substance
• Assault
• Utter threats
Balchen was held in custody
on his warrants and is sched-
uled to attend Didsbury Pro-
vincial Court on February 24th,
2020.

chat over top of these. The say-
ing was that you could borrow
a book and money at the same
time! Already by 1972 prob-
lems arose with this space.
The building was so cold in the
winter that volunteers worked
while wearing their outdoor
clothing. Oddly enough, the
staff at Entwistle school can
testify that I was doing the very
same thing during the January
deep freeze!
In 1973 the J. D. Read Me-
morial Building was finished.
The library moved in, along
with the post office and bank.
Less than 24 hours before the
opening, not a single book was
moved. However, in just a few
hours, fourteen students from
the Entwistle Grade 8 class
transported the entire collec-
tion.
In 2005 the library moved
into Entwistle school and we
are very thankful for their co-
operation over the years.

in with shovels and scrapers to
clear it off. Thanks to the pitch-

will enlist any willing individu-
als to pitch in with moving our
collection of 8,000 items. I’m
looking at you, Gr. 8 class!

tion on our social media as the
building gets closer and closer

To give communities time to adjust, the new funding model is being phased in: com- munities will contribute 10 per cent of policing costs in 2020, followed by 15 per cent in 2021, 20 per cent in 2022 and 30 per cent in 2023. • Policing costs for each com- munity will be determined by municipal tax base (as mea- sured by equalized assessment)
