Wow! Life Sentences handed down for East TX Church Arsonsist in Tyler TX courts this morning

January 10th, 2011

Tyland Baptist Church ArsonThis morning Monday January 10 2011 the 114th Court precised over by Judge Kennedy handed down a total of 7 life sentences between the two East Texas arsonists, Jason Bourque and Daniel McAllister.

Jason and Daniel pleaded guilty to these arson charges back in December of 2010 but sentencing was carried out today.

The state of Texas gave Bourque 5 life sentences and McAllister was given 2 life sentences as well as two 20 year sentences in his part in burning down several East Texas churches.

This appears to be a plea agreement as Daniel and Jason waived their right to appeal their sentencing.

Several of the writers of Tyler TX Directory have family connections or previously attended Tyland Baptist Church which was one of the churches that was burned down by the arsonists.

Because of the family connection we have been following this story pretty close.

Tyland Baptist Church was the last church to rebuild after the fire destruction. For about a year Tyland Baptist church were generously allowed to worship at Willowbrook Baptist Church across the street from Willowbrook country club. Willowbrook Baptist Church 3100 W. Erwin St. Tyler, TX 75702

The life sentences are quite severe in my opinion but at the same time it is a sticky situation because if a harsh judgment wasn’t enforced this type of thing could happen again as more loony kids go on a night of arson pranks.

I feel very sorry for these two because that long in prison is something I don’t wish on anyone and I myself warned them on this site in an open appeal to stop because they would be caught especially if they continued but they didn’t listen to me or anyone else.

Tyler TX Weight Loss Surgery Consultation and Advice

We are located in Tyler and help bring patients considering weight loss surgery to a doctor that will do them the most good based on their situation. We are not a shill consultation company directing you to one doctor but have information on hundreds of doctors trained in weight loss surgical procedures.

Although we do have very good information on weight loss surgery and doctor’s in East TX and Tyler we can also direct you to those doctor’s that may serve your needs better within and outside the state of Texas. There are many things to consider when deciding on weight loss treatment surgery.

You want to make sure that you are not necessarily going to the weight loss surgeon in Tyler that has done the most surgeries. Many times these surgeries that are done in large volume fail to consider new technology and advances in science. Although they may have done more surgeries than anyone else there could be future complications down the road because they did not stay updated on less risky procedures.

An example of surgeries that have been done in large volume but failed to realize long lasting results are with laser eye surgery. There is a doctor in Dallas who advertised laser eye surgery for years on radio, TV, and billboards and claimed to have done the most in Texas. We have personally talked to some of these patients who have already gone back to their previous vision loss prior to the eye laser surgery.

Weight loss and lap band surgery is much more risky than eye laser surgery. Your life is at stake with a massive undertaking as weight loss surgery and so it helps to speak with a weight loss surgery consultant that has personal surgical experience with this type of thing as well as many prescreened doctors to choose from.

We have prescreened Doctor’s available to treat patients from Longview, Athens, Jacksonville, Palestine, Kilgore, Marshall, Gilmer and several other locations in East Texas.

Brookshire’s Pride

March 23rd, 2010

The Brookshire’s grocery company has been named one of the top companies to work in the state of Texas. I totally agree with this award. Although I know that most people do not want to go to work in the morning, honestly, who does? Brookshire’s offers great benefits to their employees. But something that has always impressed me is that it is honestly a family-centered business. Every year they have events to honor their employees and their employee’s families.

Brookshire’s has a camp ground on Lake Palestine available for their employees and family. Every year they put on picnics to honor the workers for every part of Brookshires. Not only do they have great food but they also give away great prizes, including the flat screen television that is now hanging up in my bedroom. Brookshires has a small house available for employees and their families to stay at if they are in need, or if they have undergone some sort of disaster.

Brookshire’s has always been a family friendly company. In 1928 Wood T. Brookshire opened a small store downtown square in Tyler. Wood along with his brothers owned several different stores in East Texas. In 1939 the partnership dissolved. Brookshire was founded with the motto of “people first, profits will follow”. In 1953 Brookshire opened its first warehouse. Now Brookshires has more than 150 supermarkets throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Not only do they own the Brookshire Grocery Company, but also Super 1 Foods, and Ole Foods.

Tyler has the premiere Brookshire’s located on Rice Road. This store is the nicest store in Tyler. You are always treated with respect and the employees are always helpful. One thing that I love about the Brookshire’s Company is the fact that the employee carries out your groceries to your car for you. When you are trying to balance two children, and digging through your purse trying to find your keys, it is nice to have someone hired to put the groceries into your car.

Brookshire’s employees volunteer. The company looks at this as their way to give back to the community. All level jobs within the company find opportunities to give back, whether it is running for breast cancer or if it is cleaning the creek at Rose Rudman Park.

Brookshire Grocery Company is a great place to shop for you and your family. Their goal has been not only to make the store convenient to your needs but to also be a great experience for you and your family.
