Kentucky rolls out red carpet, signs Legion
2007
Legion, who played three years at Birmingham Detroit Country Day before spending his senior year at Oak Hill (Va.) Academy, was released from his letter at Michigan on April 16, asking out after former coach Tommy Amaker was fired. [Annette Williams] also cited Kentucky senior guard Joe Crawford as a significant reason for the Kentucky decision. Crawford and Legion played for the Family AAU team in Detroit, and Williams said it will help Legion to have an older player he knows on the team. Legion signed with Kentucky soon after a weekend visit with new coach Billy Gillispie.

Legion signs with Kentucky
2007
Legion, who committed two times to Michigan and signed once -- only to ask out of his letter of intent -- signed with Kentucky on this morning. [Annette Williams] also cited Kentucky senior guard Joe Crawford as a significant reason for the Kentucky decision. Crawford and Legion played for the Family AAU team in Detroit, and Williams said it will help Legion to have an older player he knows on the team. Kentucky came together quickly after a weekend visit with new coach Billy Gillispie.\"He felt as if Kentucky was a little more serious,\" Williams said.

Cheyenne doesn't need discrimination ordinance From Rosalie Regensberg Cheyenne I read the headlines in the WTE on Sept. 16, that read: \"Councilwoman Annette Williams plans LGBT ordinance\" With all due respect to the councilwoman and all those who have joined her in thinking that the LGBT community should be privileged to have special protection against discrimination of any kind, I say I feel their perception is wrong. I have friends who are gay and not once have they complained to me about discrimination. I also feel that business people have the right to refuse service if they are not comfortable. I've seen plenty of signs that read \"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service.\" (Really, who wants to sit beside someone who smells of sweat or has stinky feet?) I have yet to see a sign in a business or church that says, \"If you are lesbian or gay, stay away.\" Eleanor Roosevelt once said, \"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.\" Isn't the LGBT community giving their consent to make them feel inferior when they feel an ordinance is needed to protect them? Some 45 years ago, my driving instructor at LCCC told me, \"Always look and take in the big picture.\" It is advice I have followed through the years, not only while driving but in my daily life.

Council member plans LGBT ordinance
2015
\"This ordinance is to help the community,\" [Annette Williams] said Tuesday. \"It's not to force anything on anybody. I think that's what's being missed here.\" Unlike a similar ordinance in Laramie, Williams said the Cheyenne version would not carry the possibility of jail time for violating the ordinance, and potential fines would be lower. \"It's not going to be exactly like Laramie's,\" Williams said. \"It's going to be a Cheyenne ordinance.\" Williams said she hopes to have the ordinance ready to bring to the council before Thanksgiving and possibly in October. \"It's such an emotionally charged issue,\" he said. \"I don't feel this is something we need to rush.\" [Bryan Cook] also said he would welcome other opportunities for public input on the ordinance and knows council meetings will likely be well-attended. \"This is one of those issues where we're going to hear from everybody,\" he said. \"As long as the dialogue remains respectful and productive, I think this is a healthy discussion for our community.\" Nationwide, 22 states and the District of Columbia have statewide non-discrimination laws covering sexual orientation in employment, housing and public accommodation. All but four of those states also cover gender identity in all three aspects.

\"We're not impressed for the cost,\" her letter concluded. When asked about the complaints, Mayor Rick Kaysen defended the project. \"Overall, I believe the Aquatic Center has been received warmly,\" he said. \"But there are a few folks whose experiences have not been up to their expectations.\" He allowed that the city \"need(s) to work out some of the bugs.\" Complaints about water temperature were the result of a temporary malfunction, Kaysen said.

City wants more input on projects

Williams, Annette

\"This helps include (nearby residents) in the conversation if they have any concerns and helps notify them that there are open forums for them to voice their thoughts,\" [Annette Williams] said. \"It just allows people to be more involved in the (city's development approval) process.\" The responsibility of notifying residents of future projects falls on the developer rather than the city. And because the new 300-foot requirement would increase the number of residents who must be notified - therefore increasing the cost of the process - some developers were initially skeptical of the proposal.

Neighborhood group, schools partner up
2014
\"It's about showing the good will and about being in the neighborhood,\" she said. \"The schools sit in the neighborhood, and it's nice to have the support of the neighborhood.\" South Principal Phil Thompson said he wants to know if there are things he needs to address with students. \"I want to foster a positive relationship,\" he said. \"I love our kids at South, but they are high school students.\" [Annette Williams] said she asked the schools to take part in the program because they should be included in the work of the neighborhoods. \"I've dealt with problems in the past,\" attendee Korbe Wadas said. \"We're always watching and paying attention.\" Neighborhood group, schools partner up

Vandalism sparks local watch group
2014
\"Don't be afraid to call,\" [Rob Dafoe] said. \"I'd take 20 'it's nothing' calls to catch one bad guy. It's worth it.\" However, the sooner calls come in after something has happened, the better, he said. \"Our percentage of catching bad people is so much lower if we get the call a day or a week later,\" he said. \"If your fence gets spray-painted, or your mailbox gets blown up or your window gets broken - if we get that call right away, and we get in the area, there's a good chance we're going to catch them.\" Other suggestions they made included locking car doors, and both having outdoor lights and having them out of easy reach. \"I'm interested in stopping the juvenile crime,\" attendee Bonnie Reider said, \"(to) see if we can do something to deter the kids.\" Vandalism sparks local watch group

Thumbs up and down to local issues
2016
WE BELIEVE: Getting a jumpstart on planning a Wyoming Women's Suffrage Celebration is a good idea. But a local councilwoman's plan to take money from reserves for a crosswalk project is more election-year politics and should be rejected. TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: Contact us via email at opinion@wyomingnews.com. Unlike the city of Cheyenne, which has been silent so far about next year's sesquicentennial of the Capital City, the state is getting a jumpstart on marking an important time in Wyoming's history. The 150th anniversary of the December 1869 act granting women the right to vote and the first vote cast by a woman in Wyoming in September 1870 deserves to be honored. Although this is a one-time expense, we don't think now is the time to take more money from reserves for this project, especially in light of Gov. [Matt Mead]'s budget cut announcement this week. Let's wait until after Nov. 8 and find another way to get this done.

Williams, Annette
2014
The City Council approved an ordinance aimed at smoothing the redevelopment process for commercial property owners. The ordinance, which passed unanimously Monday, would give the city's planning department more flexibility to approve projects that don't conform to all of the UDC's design specifications. The ordinance would give the city's planning department more flexibility to approve projects that don't conform to all of the city's design specifications. [Annette Williams]' amendment proposed the addition of language to the ordinance that would force the planning department to notify residents of the surrounding neighborhood anytime planners decide to deviate from UDC standards by more than 25 percent.
