SYRACUSE, NEW YORK – A Canadian man has been sentenced to prison for the rest of his life for running a marijuana ring that sold more than $10 million worth of the drug a year for four years.
U.S. District Judge Norman Mordue imposed the mandatory life sentence Thursday on Michael C. Woods, 45, known by members of the ring as "Big Boss Man."
The life sentence was mandatory because a jury convicted Woods in August of being one of two kingpins in a continuing criminal enterprise that had revenues of more than $10 million a year.
Woods' co-defendant, Gaetan Dinelle, is scheduled to be sentenced next week. They're both from Cornwall, Ontario, Canada.
Woods' lawyer, Albert Millus, argued in court papers that the sentence was unfair and amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. He cited the nation's changing attitude toward marijuana.
"The country is in the midst of a national movement involving the legalization of marijuana," Millus wrote in a sentencing memorandum. He noted that 23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized the drug in some way.
"A life sentence for marijuana distribution, in light of these trends, unaccompanied by violence, would be patently cruel and inhuman," Millus wrote.
The ring moved marijuana from Canada through the Akwesasne Mohawk Indian reservation in northern New York, down Interstate-81 through Syracuse and into wide distribution across the east coast, Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Eurenius said. The ring moved more than 22,000 pounds of marijuana from April 2005 to February 2008.
Much of the marijuana went to a distributor in Boston, who testified that he bought $20 million of it and re-sold it mostly to the student and art community, according to court papers.

Community Service

Community Service

In 2010, BGCA’s Board of Governors convened a Commission on Impact, made up of Club leaders and other youth experts, to determine how to increase the positive impact of Boys & Girls Clubs on America’s young people. Based on the commission’s recommendations, youth development research and more than a century of Clubs’ own experience, BGCA: refined its program focus to ensure that Club youth achieve outcomes in three priority areas: Academic Success, Good Character and Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles; and developed a research-informed theory of change, called Formula for Impact, to guide Boys & Girls Clubs in helping young people achieve these outcomes. The commission also challenged BGCA to become a leader in outcomes measurement, building the capability of Club organizations to collect and use data to gauge their positive effect on their young members. BGCA responded to this challenge by launching the National Youth Outcomes Initiative (NYOI), a system built to measure the impact of Boys & Girls Clubs in a consistent manner using a common set of research-informed indicators of our priority outcomes. NYOI’s key tool for gathering outcomes data is the National Outcomes Survey, administered to Club members each spring. BGCA continues to provide resources and intensive training and technical assistance to enable local Club organizations to use NYOI effectively. For me to work with younger people not as gifted as me and to give back helped me. Volunteering for the boys and girls club has helped me become a better person.

While volunteering for the organization i had to help any kid in need with school work or teach a kid how to do a task asked. Most memorible moment was when i had to help a group of kids after school and they all had to study to pass a test then the next day they told me they passed there test
