Texter,
I'm surprised you didn't post the comment on the front page of Wednesday's Richmond River Express Examiner. It pretty much sums up the way the town of Casino is feeling.
"A large crowd turned out to watch as the lights on Casino's new community Christmas tree were officially turned on at the Casino Artisans,Food and Song Christmas Market on Thursday night.
After Richmond Valley Mayor Ernie Bennett officially flicked the switch,families,young and old,lined up to have their photos taken around the 6m high tree that was sponsored by Metgasco.
The community spirit at the event was almost tangible,so on Friday when anti-coal seam gas protestors arrived in town intent on putting their own "decorations" on the tree,they were confronted by local shopkeepers.
The confrontation reportedly became heated and left one shopkeeper in tears. The protesters eventually left the CBD without defacing the tree.
Meanwhile, an anonymous donor has purchased and arranged for the installation of a web-based surveillance camera to keep a 24-hour watch on the Christmas tree. The video images captured by the camera will be stored,allowing them to be used to prosecute crimes and verify reports of crimes."
