The trial for a Solon man charged with attempted murder was granted a continuance during a pre-trial conference Thursday.

Assistant Johnson County Attorney David Tiffany said the trial for Dakota Lee Williams, 18, will be reset to sometime in September. The trial was originally set to begin at 9 a.m. Monday, June 14. Buy cheap discount tiffany necklace

“We’ve just started the process and there are lots of witnesses to talk to,” Tiffany said.

Police said Williams knocked on the door of 906 N. Dodge St. No. 3 on Feb. 25 and forced his way in at gunpoint. Buy cheap discount tiffany jewelry

A 27-year-old victim resisted and a struggle ensued, according to police, resulting in the victim being shot through the hands. tiffany Diamond On Sale

Police charged Williams with attempted murder, first-degree burglary and going armed with intent. Sheriff’s deputies charged Williams with five counts of third-degree burglary to a motor vehicle and interference with official acts.

It started off well enough Beauty queen Tiffany Munro was talking to Oshawa high school students about body image, saying she put on weight to enter the Miss Universe Canada competition.

Pageant organizers, the 26-year-old said, didn’t want them looking anorexic, “like some little African child with the ribs going on.”

Rumblings and muted jeers erupted from the audience at G.L. Roberts Collegiate and Vocational Institute, and a fellow contestant who had just described her experience in a Rwandan refugee camp gasped in shock. buy Tiffany Charm Bracelet

The event Thursday morning was to have been a chance for the pageant’s 62 contestants to practise their public speaking skills. But Munro, for one, learned a hard lesson of a different sort.

“Skeletons,” the Edmonton native said later. “I meant to say they don’t want us to look like skeletons. But I’m still half-asleep after having to get up at 5 a.m.”

Munro, a filmmaker who has her own production company, said she was apologizing to everyone for the gaffe that “just slipped out.”

African-born Solange Tuyishime, 26, spent much of her time onstage being consoled by another contestant.

“I was hurt” by the reference to “stereotypical images they show on TV,” she said in an interview. “It’s very sad that in 2010 when we make references to the poor, we think of African children, because poverty is everywhere.”

But the “beauty” of the pageant, she added graciously, is that it gives them an opportunity “to learn from each other.”

Expanding on her body image theme, Munro told the 300 Grades 11 and 12 students that she struggled with weight issues, at one point ballooning to 180 pounds. “Dancing around on stage in swimsuits” for the competition might seem “archaic,” she noted, but it shows that they have healthy bodies. buy Tiffany Necklace

Judges in the Miss Universe Canada pageant, which wraps up Saturday and Monday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, are looking for “someone who has the whole package” of brains and beauty, according to national director Denis Davila.

Most of the 62 contestants, nine of whom are from the Greater Toronto Area, arrived at G. L. Roberts in six-inch stilettos and short skirts. But they quickly wowed the audience with their stories of achievement and messages of hope and inspiration.

“Be proud of who you are. Be proud of your culture,” urged Ashley Callingbull, 20, a Cree woman who said she was representing aboriginal and Canadian women. Stereotypes suggest she should be “a failure, a drunk, a drop-out, on welfare,” she said. “But I’m here promoting a healthy lifestyle. I’m in the best shape of my life.”

One woman spoke passionately about her uncle, a newspaper editor in Yemen who was assassinated for speaking out: “He taught me some things are worth dying for.”

Tuyishime, who said all she was left with in Rwanda was the instinct to survive, urged the students to believe in themselves and get a good education: “Your power is greater than you think. Your dream is what you make it.” buy Tiffany Jewelry

Paisley McNab, 19, went back in time to answer one student’s question about who she’d most like to meet.

“Shakespeare,” she responded. “I love reading and I love Shakespeare. It’s fun to try and figure out what he’s saying.”

A City of Renton crew will inspect a roughly quarter-mile section of a 20-inch sewerline with a camera early Friday morning starting in Tiffany Park to determine whether it is damaged.

The inspection comes after a second sinkhole opened up in Royal Hills Drive next to one city crews finished filling last Friday.

That first sinkhole revealed a corroded section of the pipeline that was the entry spot for debris that clogged the sewerline near where it narrows to 14 inches, forcing sewage to gush out of a manhole. Some of that sewage made it to the Cedar River down an access road.

Regular inspections by the city have found no plugs in the pipeline or overflows from that manhole. tiffany jewellery

The city has had a sense of urgency to inspect the pipeline's interior for damage or breaks.

The city was waiting for the delivery of a heavy-duty, wheeled carrier it purchased for the camera before it began the inspection. Now, with the emergence of the second sinkhole, the city is using a carrier from a contractor.

Before it can inspect the sewerline, the city will divert the sewage it carries in linked hoses using pumps for roughly 1,000 feet from Tiffany Park, down the hill and finally to the far side of the Royal Hills Apartments on Royal Hills Drive, said Gregg Zimmerman, the city's public-works director.

The pipeline carries about 800 gallons of sewage a minute.

"I think we can do this without any interruption of sewer service," said Zimmerman, of the inspection and any repairs that are required. Buy Tiffany

The camera inspection should take most of the morning. The pumps are quiet, Zimmerman said.

The city has closed and barricaded the north side of Royal Hills Drive at the sinkhole, limiting traffic to just one lane. Shoreline Construction, which assisted in the repairs to the first sinkhole, brought in 20-foot-wide steel plates to place along the entire width of the street.

The second sinkhole is right next to the one that appeared on in the roadway on June 3. The corroded pipeline was repaired and the hole filled by early morning on June 4.

The second sinkhole opened up late Wednesday. It was filled with a granular material before it was covered with the plates, Zimmerman said.

Zimmerman wants to gather information from the interior inspection of the pipeline first so that the city doesn't end up doing a series of repairs that are thrown out when a final solution is reached.

"Once we have the information, we will try to do a repair that makes the most sense," he said. "We want to fix the stretches that have collapsed and are in a failing condition."

The camera inspection will include the stretch of pipeline that runs in an easement through the Royal Hills Apartments. The pipeline is about 16 feet under the surface, based on the depth of the sinkhole. tiffany charm bracelet

"We don't want to see any sinkholes in the easement that are close to the apartments," Zimmerman said. What's encouraging, he said, is that the sinkholes have appeared in the street, rather than on the apartment grounds.

The city has held brief talks with the apartment management about routing Metro or school buses through the complex if necessary to avoid repairs, he said.

It's something no one expects to happen. Five family members killed in one car crash on Interstate 70 Wednesday. Now one father is left to pick up the pieces.

Thomas Nessline lost his fiancé 23-year-old Tiffany Irwin, his infant daughter Ava Nessline, and his three-year-old step-son Dallas Wickham, when Irwin's Cavalier crossed the median. Also killed were his fiancé's mother 41-year-old Maria Barnhill and uncle 39-year-old Scott Skeens. tiffany necklace

Now Nessline is left with memories of his family.

"Tiffany she was a wonderful person. She had a heart of gold and she would do anything for anybody. And Ava in her short eight months of life, she's a bundle of joy and you know we really miss her. And Dallas as well, he was a handful, but he was a good boy and I'm going to really miss him," says Nessline.

The family has no life insurance, so the funeral expenses fall onto Nessline's shoulders and he's asking the community for help. tiffany jewelry

"I would like to have a proper burial and cremation is the cheapest thing that they can offer you and that's one thing that I don't want to do, so I really, I really, I'm just asking for anything that can help so I can give my daughter a proper burial, that'd be great," he says.

Friends have set up a fund at all Huntington Banks in Muskingum County, Nessline says the support is helping him through this tragedy.

"I'm holding it together as best I can. You know I didn't expect to lose my whole family in one shot, but I'm as best as I can be expected," he says. "It's taken a big weight off my shoulders to know that I'm not alone, that there are people out there willing to help." tiffany

You too can donate money to help with the funeral expenses at any Huntington Bank in Muskingum County. The fund is the Nessline/Irwin Memorial Fund.
