Editor: I was glad I’d taken my high-blood pressure pill before reading the front page story of July 18 in the NOW (Camp defiant as crackdown promised).

Is there a law for me and another for these protesters? It would seem so.
A loft, a deck, windows with glass in a carver’s cabin, a screen for movie nights, a totem pole and karaoke? What’s next?
