Dismay as Wheatland
County council votes to
withhold library funding
LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
Learning race On April 16, Wheatland County councillors

evoked responses of shock and dismay when
they voted to withhold from the county’s libraries
Page 15 the funding allocated to them in the 2019 budget.
Beth-Anna Van Dellen, a high school teacher
and a mother of three young children, who lives
with her family south of Standard, started an on-
line petition at change.org, urging Wheatland
council to change their decision.
“Have you watched the videotape of the way
this was decided?” asked Van Dellen. “That prob-
ably bothers me as much as the fact that they cut
the funding in the first place. It was very noncha-
Venom action lant, hardly a four-minute discussion, and some-
one on that council actually said that it was a
‘good day’ because of all the money they were
saving. Unbelievable.”
According to Wheatland County Councillor
Ben Armstrong, “things aren’t as rosy out there as
people think they are. Executive was tasked with
the job of finding a reduction of $600,000 in the
budget.” Armstrong admitted he has never used
the library services in the county. “I go more by
what the members bring back from the (library)
committee board and make my decision on that.”
Councillor for Division 7, Armstrong said local
residents hadn’t contacted him about the issue. “I

many exciting adventures and fun things to do. There is so much
enjoyment in playing outdoor games with friends or family.
So, folks, you don’t really need any reminders about drinking
and being responsible with open fires and leaving food and/
or garbage in your camping areas, but there is no harm done
to remind each other. Also, just because there are places to use 587-316-2000

you can drink and drive as we don’t want to be responsible for
