Game 4

The fourth game of the regular season saw the Solid Bricks up against the undefeated Ryde City Ballers (RCB). The match promised alot, with the Bricks coming off their first victory, and boosted by the inclusion of Greg Ewart, hoping to challenge the top of the table RCB. The pre-match press hype was enough to generate a sell out crowd as Bricks supporters turned up in droves to fill the Grand Stand ("Grand Stand" being used very loosely)...

From the tip it was clear the RCB deserved their 3 early season victories as M de Groot lost his first tip off for the season and RCB preceded to string together a series of slick passes to register first points. This was quickly followed by a Bricks turnover and a 3 point basket to open up a sizeable early lead for the Ballers. Maginnity got the Bricks underway with a nice move inside, before Campbell added to his impressive scoring tally from the stripe. Another few baskets from RCB saw their lead maintained as the Bricks looked to utilise their bench. B de Groot tried to lift the Bricks with a 3 pointer from his first touch, before picking of a pass set up a open basket for himself (which he preceded to miss...). The Ballers continued to build on their lead during the half and went into the break with a comfortable 12 point break.

As the second half began the Bricks fought valiantly to eat into the lead, with M de Groot, Ewart, Salter and Campbell all adding to the scoreboard. On the defensive end the Bricks looked to maintain their strong early season form, but were being tested and taken out of position by some smart offence from the Ballers. With a succession of made shots from beyond the arc, and some slick moves inside the key RCB maintained their lead inspite of the hard work of the Bricks. On a positive note the Bricks were able to finish strongly with a few classy touches from Lane adding valuable points to the Bricks' score. Unfortunately it was not enough as the Ballers ran out 43-26 victors.

It was a good test for the Bricks and showed them some clear areas where improvement is necessary. However, the heart and fight showed by the Bricks was enough to convince supporters (hopefully) that their next win won't be too far away.

Thanks again to the crowd who turned out to support, and we look forward to seeing you all again next Tuesday.

Cheers,

Game 3 Game 3 saw a fired up Bricks team coming up against a Jets outfit also looking for their first win of the season. It was the Bricks who looked keenest early, arriving well before the game and looking sharp during the warm-up. From the tip it was clear that the Bricks were here to play, as Campbell and M de Groot knocked down some early baskets to help the Bricks skip out to an early lead. To their credit the Jets kept their heads up, and on the back of a couple of 3 point bombs managed to narrow the margin to 2 midway through the half. Even though they were missing Ewart, the Bricks maintained strong defence down low, with Maginnity, M de Groot and Lane muscling up in the key and making it tough for the Jets to get any open looks. On the back of the defence, the offence was also flowing with Maginnity strong in the middle and Campbell extending the lead beyond the arc. Finishing the half with a tidy little give and go between the de Groot boys, the Bricks took a 26-16 lead into the break.

In the huddle during the break the talk was around learning from our poor second half last week and finishing this one off. As the second half commenced it was clear that the Bricks were going to do just that as the Jets struggled in defence with Salter and Lane the beneficiaries with some nice baskets early. As the half wore on the Brick dominance continued, and with the win secured, the big men M de Groot and Maginnity took the opportunity to lead the team on the fast break (an offensive tactic that we may look to shelve during tighter matches!!). The score blew out late with Kendall, Campbell, Salter, Lane, Maginnity, B de Groot and M de Groot (yes, the whole team), all adding to the lead. As the clock wound down another fast break was finished by B de Groot to bring up the half century and as the full time buzzer rang out the Bricks had registered their first victory 50 - 25.

All 7 members of the Bricks performed strongly on the night, and a special mention must go to Kris Kendall who performed admirably in filling the big shores left by Greg Ewart. We should also thank our 3 first time FAG's who turned up to support the team, and especially Kristy and Jess who did a great job of scoring.

Watch this space as the Bricks will surely look to build on this momentum in the coming weeks.

Till next week.

Game 2

Match 2 saw an under strength Bricks outfit, missing regular stars Jordan Campbell and Troy Lane, come up against last years semi-finalists the Bishops. A pre-match talk had the 5 remaining Bricks ready to play a full game and the boys came out strong with Matt de Groot winning the tip-off and knocking it straght to his brother for the opening 2 pts. However, the bishops hit back hard and on the back of a 3 point bomb followed by a 3 point play quickly moved into the lead. A period of settling saw all members of the Bricks make a contribution to the scoreboard, with some strong work in the middle by Ewart and Maginnity seeing some easy baskets converted in the middle and some key free-throws hit. Then after a quick re-grouping time out the Bricks came out all guns blazing with Salter knocking down some clutch jump shots from the corners, B de Groot hitting a 3 pointer, and M de Groot also chiming in with a few jump shots. The Bishops could barely believe their eyes as M de Groot lept high to expertly finish a huge alley-oop play, The Bricks in at half time leading 22-19.

The second half began as the first finished with the bricks running in a few fast break opportunities and opening up a 6 point lead. As always the Bricks denence was strong, with the guards pressuring the Bishops outside shooters and the tall timber cleaning up on the boards, however as the second half continued on the Bricks offence began to falter. With heavy legs the fast break opportunities dried up and the jump shots, falling so nicely in the first half, began to rattle out. Maginnity tried to rally the troops with a few nice peices of work on the inside, but the Bishops gained the ascendancy and a 3 point lead. Into the last minute and again the ever dangerous Maginnity was fouled, quickly knocking down the 2 free throws to reduce the margin to 1. Unfortunately in their efforts to steal the ball and the game the Bricks fouled leading to 2 free throws and the buzzer sounding.

A great effort by the Bricks in only their 2nd competition game. Final score: Bricks 32 - Bishops 34

Till next week...

Game 1 The first game of the regular season saw the Solid Bricks feat. Foul Intentions come up against Basketball Jones. It was a fired up Bricks outfit that took to the court for the tip off. After some strong defence the Bricks took an early lead thanks to a nice fast break finish from Salter. From there it was a tight first half with the strong brick defence giving few easy chances. The Bricks dominated in the key with the boards being easily controlled by the twin towers of Ewart and de Groot, ably assisted by Greg and Jordan. Unfortunately the strong defence was not backed up on the offensive end with the bricks only managing 8 in the half. Half time 13-8.

As the second 1/2 kicked off the bricks got a few early baskets thanks to the sweet shooting Jordan Campbell and a long bomb from Lane. As the 1/2 continued Basketball Jones began to get frustrated as they were unable to shake the tenacious Bricks. Tensions boiled over within the Jones camp and the bricks were awarded a double technical foul after the refs copped a verbal spray from the opposition. As Salter buried 2 free throws a member of Jones hurled the ball at the ref and was quickly ejected from the stadium. Another technical foul was issued and de Groot hit 1 of 2 free throws narrowing the margin was 6. Unfortunately in the dying few minutes the Bricks were unable to close the gap with the final score 26-20 to Basketball Jones.

A good first up run for the Bricks with plenty of promise shown for the season ahead. Next week will see the Bricks take on the Bishops at 8.55pm and will hopefully see them register their first victory.

Cheers.

Marie Ganz

Hailed by the Lower East Side’s Jews as a champion of human rights and scorned as a violent and irresponsible hysteric by everyone from the New York Times to Emma Goldman, Marie Ganz was a highly visible figure in the anarchist movement in 1914. Immigrating to the U.S. at age five with her mother and baby brother when her father had finally saved up enough money to send for them, her family eked out a precarious existence in the Jewish ghettoes of New York City. Following Lazarus Ganz’s 1899 death, Marie and her mother strained themselves to the breaking point by taking in massive amounts of piecework, barely able to stave off eviction and starvation. At age 13, Ganz convinced her mother to allow her to drop out of school and enter the factories. During the depths of the 1904 depression when the entire garment industry was on strike, shops were closing their doors and the fortune of the Ganz family sunk to an all time low. From Ganz's 1920 biography:

Those days of suffering put a bitterness into my heart that never left it. … The fires of hatred broke loose in me then—hatred of the bosses that tyrannized over us … hatred of the landlords who would turn families into the street because of a few paltry dollars, hatred of the rich … hatred of the whole world, a world so black and hopeless. And I know that those days of starvation left me with my youth gone forever, though I was only fourteen years old.

It was at this point in her life that Ganz first encountered anarchism. Indeed, there were a great many Jewish anarchists in the ghettoes and it was only a matter of time before she listened to their ideas and found herself in agreement with their principles. ‘I wonder if any girl of my age who was working in a sweatshop for thirteen hours a day under a speed-up system would not have been.’ She read a great deal of radical literature, attended lectures and held discussions with other young radicals and would defend herself and her co-workers on the job, often instigating labor actions when nothing else worked. She began to gain a reputation among employers to the point where bosses knew her by name and face and refused to hire her, knowing that she would demand better conditions and pay for herself and her co-workers, and sometimes achieve it. Employment was possible only under an assumed name and through the intervention of non-radical friends.

Ganz was thrust into the spotlight during the unemployment unrest of 1914, in which she played an instrumental part. Much like the hardships a decade earlier, hundreds of thousands of workers were unemployed, evictions were omnipresent, starvation was everywhere. Sick of seeing the streets lined with evicted women thrown into the harsh winter cold with their children, Ganz finally snapped.

All the fierce passions, the bitterness and hatred that years of suffering had bred, broke loose in me … Wild impulses surged in me bidding me to revolt, to stir others to revolt, to destroy and kill if necessary, to defy all the cruel laws that had crushed us, the laws that had never helped us, never protected us, the laws that had been always on the side of our oppressors … We were being destroyed. The time had come to fight—to fight or die.

Ganz began speaking in the streets, on the curbs, in the squares. Thousands would listen to her, hailing her as ‘Sweet Marie.’ She encouraged those who listened to her to break whatever laws were standing between them and their basic human needs. At her recommendation, hundreds swarmed the city’s upscale restaurants, dining and requesting that the bill be sent to the mayor. Hundreds swarmed the pews of unwelcoming churches for warmth and shelter. Ganz directed her listeners’ attention to the already inadequate charities. Without the permission of its denizens, she led 500 starving homeless people to the University Settlement House for nightly shelter and raised funds from equally unwilling parties to feed them every morning until spring. Riots ensued on occasion and Ganz herself was frequently hungry while feeding the masses.

The infamous Ludlow Massacre took place in April 1914, where, in a battle against striking miners, Colorado’s National Guard shot at and set fire to a tent colony set up for the wives and children of the workers. The nation was outraged and in New York City, protests were directed against John D. Rockefeller, Jr. for heading the corporation for whose benefit so many miners and their families had been killed. Marie Ganz was annoyed at the ineffectualness of Upton Sinclair’s ‘Free Silence League,’ which entailed mourners lurking silently in front of the Standard Oil building with signs reading ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ ‘What was I accomplishing? What was any of us accomplishing? Words, words, words! … They had done nothing toward bringing justice to the western miners.’ Ganz decided that the time had come for action and retribution and, while speaking in a park 30 April about the culpability of Rockefeller in the slaughter, someone pressed a pistol into her hand. Hiding the pistol in her dress, she led a crowd of people to the Standard Oil building, making very open threats on Rockefeller’s life the whole way. She made her way inside the Standard Oil building and onto the 14th floor where Rockefeller’s secretary said that he was not in. She left a message that she had come 'on behalf of working people' to ‘shoot him down like a dog,’ and then left.

Curiously, Ganz was not a priority for the police or the legal system. She was not arrested for three days after making the kind of threats that would have ended in life sentences for Mollie Steimer or Emma Goldman. When she was arrested, she was charged merely with disorderly conduct, sentenced to 60 days, and only made to serve 30 days. Ganz's relative immunity from state harassment can be attributed to several sources. She was close friends with influential Hearst journalist Nat Ferber, whom she would later marry. In Ferber's professional biography, he recalls Detective Stillson of the Red squad telling him:

We have orders to be careful with her. If she was to get hurt, the mob would go crazy. We’d have to kill them to control them. Besides, outside of shooting off her mouth, she’s a darned nice girl!

Which leads to a third reason for Ganz's exceptional status, the paternalistic attitude toward ‘this poor misguided individual.’ In the words of Magistrate Murphy, ‘I do not believe this young woman is as guilty as the ringleaders. She, in my opinion, is a tool of older heads and vicious minds. They have urged her to challenge the law, and she has done so.’

Margaret Marsh, who wrote about Ganz in her 1981 book Anarchist Women, 1870-1920, is inaccurate in stating that, by the end of Ganz’s 30-day prison sentence, she had abandoned her radical convictions. It is true that Ganz did eventually apostatize from anarchist ideology, but that was several years later and her autobiography mentions nothing that happened in prison to have brought about such a drastic change. Instead, she continued to assert her own rights as well as those of the women imprisoned alongside her, sometimes resulting in collective action. Ominously, her release from prison was 4 July 1914, the day that three of her friends, in preparing dynamite to be used against Rockefeller, unintentionally killed themselves and another comrade in an explosion in a tenement building. She felt their loss deeply and her resentment toward Alexander Berkman and the other more prominent anarchists grew. She felt they were distorting and capitalizing on the deaths of her friends in the mass rallying events that followed. Furthermore, Ganz had no use for Emma Goldman.

During all this time Emma Goldman, the anarchist leader, was away on a lecture tour and out of harm’s way. She paid no attention to the appeals to come back and to take part in the meetings. She was making money and was living comfortably at first-class hotels, and I became convinced that she had always been actuated by sordid motives.

Ganz distanced herself from the anarchists to continue working and supporting her family. There is no evidence that her convictions went away just yet, as she consistently asserted her rights on the job and convinced her co-workers to do likewise, occasionally resulting in labor actions and the loss of a few jobs.

In 1917, food prices jumped exponentially and hunger consumed the ghettoes. Ganz happened to be present in the market on the day that the women decided they could take no more. Carts were being overturned; dishonest merchants were being bludgeoned when Mrs. Teibel Shimberg caught sight of Marie.

‘Look women,’ she cried. ‘Here is Marie Ganz. She will show you how to fix them blood-suckers.’ The women gathered around me with cries of ‘Tell us what to do!’ ‘All right,’ I answered. ‘Come with me to Rutgers Square, and I’ll talk to you.’

While the riots spread, Ganz and Ida Harris of the Mothers Vigilance Committee led hundreds of women, many with babies in their arms and children at their skirts, to march on City Hall to demand that the mayor fix food prices to an affordable level. The mayor was not in and while Harris and Ganz tried to keep the crowd calm, the women would not be subdued and continued screaming, ‘We want food for our children!’ The police instructed Ganz to tell them to go home in Yiddish and when she did so, the reaction from the women led the police to assume that she had ‘harrangued [sic] the crowd in bitter language.’ Ganz was the only one arrested and the women attempted unsuccessfully to free her from the police's custody. ‘”Give us back our Marie!” they cried. “Why do you take from us our Marie!”’ The women provided extensive jail support until Ganz was released with a suspended sentence. With attention having been thus drawn to the issue of food prices, boycotts were enforced until prices sunk to acceptable levels.

Though she had distanced herself from the anarchists, Marie Ganz remained a public figure who could be counted on to be a strong voice for the oppressed. It was when the U.S. entered into World War I that Ganz was separated from her radical beliefs. Ferber was pro-war—or pro-this war, believing it to be a war on militarism, a war on war and, indeed, the war to end all wars. As captured in Ganz's biography, Ferber's condescending and jingoistic bullying and denigrating of Ganz's ideas and activities led her to become a war supporter, even sitting on war committees.

After the publication of Ganz's biography, as written by Ferber, the two were wed and Ganz disappeared from public life. Irrespective of whether or not Ganz actually went back on her ideas, she did make a drastic lifestyle conversion, but perhaps her decision is not as shocking as it first seems. She led a very hard life from a very young age and cannot be blamed for wanting to leave the brutal labor force of which she had so long been a part. Marriage to an influential journalist was just such a ticket out of poverty. While Ganz gave every evidence of being sincere in her beliefs, she also wanted stability and security for herself. Anarchism and a public life offered her no such security and neither did the ghettoes. She took the marriage ticket out of poverty and the muting of whatever views she may have held for the rest of her life are neatly summarized in Rebels: ‘Radicalism is just as certain to be bred by poverty as conservatism is by wealth.’

Naples waste management issue

Naples has a waste management problem because the landfills are full. The garbage crisis of 2007 has led to serious health warnings but attempts to ease the problem are being hampered by the Camorra, the local mafia. The Camorra has infiltrated parts of the waste management industry in Naples, and a significant part of the budget appears to be disappearing into the pockets of the Camorra.

Since the mid-1990s, the Camorra has taken over the handling of garbage disposal in the region of Campania, with disastrous results for the environment and the health of the general population. Heavy metals, industrial waste and chemicals and household garbage are frequently mixed together, dumped near roads and burnt to avoid detection, leading to a severe soil and air pollution. Together with corrupt local officials and unscrupulous industrialists from all over Italy, the Camorra has created a cartel that has so far proved very difficult to combat for officials.
