LAKEWOOD — Lloyd Munsee, owner of Big Tree Maple in Lakewood, has seen many different changes in the maple production business since he first began producing maple products.

Big Tree Maple began as a back porch business in 1993, and Munsee has expanded every year. He currently runs the business with his son, David, and the business consists of three separate parts. Big Tree Maple makes and sells maple syrup, is a part of the equipment dealership Lapierre, which Munsee said is a family name in Quebec, and the tanker trucks used to haul sap is also used to fill swimming pools in the summer.

Munsee said making maple syrup is a lot of work, isn’t easy, and is expensive, but added that there have been many changes in the business over the last few decades.

“There have been a lot of changes as there is with all agriculture,” Munsee said. “A few decades ago the majority of sap was collected and gathered in galvanized buckets. There was a process to collect from each one of those buckets and bring it to the truck or whatever they were transporting in.”

These days, Munsee said the maple industry has moved away from buckets and the majority of producers these days use plastic tubes and sometimes also vacuums, which now increase the volume of sap producers are able to collect from trees. This has also enabled producers to make a lot more syrup and grow their businesses.

IS-affiliated woman guilty of 5-Year-old Yazidi girl’s death receives 14-year sentence

No Comments on IS-affiliated woman guilty of 5-Year-old Yazidi girl’s death receives 14-year sentence

A German Federal Court on Wednesday struck down an appeal lodged by a 32-year-old German woman who, in 2015, while married to an Islamic State fighter, allowed an enslaved 5-year-old Yazidi girl to die of thirst.

For more stories from The Media Line go to themedialine.org

Known publicly as Jessica W., the defendant was sentenced to 14 years in 2021 after being deported back to Germany from Turkey following the nominal defeat of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

The defendant and her husband, Taha Al-J., an Iraqi national, were both found liable for the girl’s death when evidence showed that the girl had been chained to a tree by the husband and left to die in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Jessica W. was convicted in the original Frankfurt-based trial of having had the ability to prevent the death while actively deciding to do nothing. She was found guilty of two counts of crimes against humanity through enslavement and one count of having joined a terrorist organization abroad.

Jessica W.’s appeal was denied

Reading the ruling on Wednesday, the court found that the woman’s appeal was “manifestly unfounded” but did not clarify on what grounds the defendant had appealed the sentence.Displaced Yazidi women protest outside the headquarters of the UN Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), north of Baghdad, in 2015.

In the original 2021 trial, Jessica W. had first been given a 10-year sentence, but given the severity of the crimes against humanity, that sentence was increased.
