EUR MOTIVATIONAL NOTE
Today’s ‘Live Better With Willie Jolley’ Tip: The Poisoned Mushroom
Today’s ‘Live Better Tip for Success’ is focused on helping you over come this challenging economy. Helping you to Turn Your Setbacks Into Greenbacks!
To become a success, you must be careful what you allow to enter into your mind because your mind is like a garden. It will grow whatever is planted. If you plant positive it will grow positive. But if you plant negative you will grow negative. If you plant corn it will grow corn, but if you plant poisoned mushrooms then they, too, will grow.
The negative will often choke out the positive. That is why you must be careful what you allow to enter into your mind. As you sow so shall you reap. Think about nothing and you will do nothing; think about great things and you will do great things. Be careful what you allow into your mind, because what you allow will grow!
Visit my website at www.williejolley.com for more information on turning your setbacks into greenbacks, and make this a great day!

A retired former Marine who neighbors say obsessed over his University Park lawn is being held on $3 million bond, accused of gunning down a neighbor whose puppy allegedly urinated on the man’s well-manicured grass.
Charles J. Clements, 69, routinely wins the south suburb’s beautification and lawn upkeep award but is also known for threatening children or adults who dare set foot in his yard, neighbors said.
On Sunday night, Joshua Funches, a 23-year-old father of two, was walking his fox terrier Gucci in the 500 block of Landau Road when the dog lifted its leg and went in Clements lawn, said Funches’ mother Patricia, 53.
The two men began arguing and at some point, Clements, a retired bus driver, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Funches, a Crete-Monee High School graduate who drove a bus, said Will County assistant state’s attorney Sondra Denmark.
Witnesses said Funches then said to Clements, “Next time you pull out a pistol, why don’t you use it?” Denmark said. At that point, witnesses said they saw orange and white light and heard a loud noise. They saw Funches fall to the ground.
“It was all over a little wooden plaque,” said an emotional Patricia Funches, referring to the town’s beautification award. “It was a senseless death. How can you take a life for a piece of wood?”
Clements then walked home and changed his clothes. When University Park police arrived, they found the master landscaper in his garage with the door open.
“I knew you were coming for me,” he told police, according to Denmark.”That’s why I changed my clothes. I knew you were coming for me.”
Neighbors were shocked that such deadly violence could have stemmed from a minor fight.
“It hurt me pretty bad, to see a person killed over something so petty,” said Joanne Byers, who lives across the street from where Funches died.
Funches had two children, ages 1 and 4, with another due to be born in August, his mother said.
Byers said her own son had a run-in with Clements, once accidentally stepping on the man’s grass while walking and chatting on his cell phone.
“Man, he popped out and called, ‘Hey watch it — watch it!” said Byers.
Judge Marzell Richardson ordered Clements, who has no criminal history, held in lieu of $3 million bond today on first and second-degree murder charges. He noted that Clements allegedly told his victim he would be found innocent if arrested.
A Cook County judge found a New York man guilty today of having an illicit sexual relationship with a 16-year-old Schaumburg girl he met on the Internet nearly two years ago.
Concepcion Padilla, 28, was declared guilty of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in Rolling Meadowsbranch court by Judge Thomas Fecarotta Jr.
Padilla told the high school student he was 18 when he began communicating with her through a online chat room in August 2008, prosecutors said. Her parents learned he was an adult and forbade the girl to have contact with him, taking away her cell phone, authorities said. Padilla provided her with a cell phone and the relationship continued, prosecutors said.
In March 2009, Padilla flew to Illinois and had sex with the girl at her house when her parents were out of town for the weekend, prosecutors said. The girl told a high school counselor about the encounter and Padilla was invited back to Illinois by a female police officer who pretended to be a friend of the girl, authorities said. He was arrested when he landed at O’Hare International Airport in May 2009.
Padilla contended that the relationship was consensual and that the girl misrepresented her age. Fecarotta set sentencing for June 23.
