BY GABRIELA AOUN ANGUEIRAKULA, Hawaii (AP) — The car tires, propane tanks, gas generators and rusty appliances heaped on the side of a dirt road waiting to be hauled away filled Desiree Graham with relief.“That means all that stuff is not in people’s yards,” she said on a blustery July day in Kahikinui, a remote Native Hawaiian homestead community in southeast Maui where wildfire is a top concern.In June, neighbors and volunteers spent four weekends clearing rubbish from their properties in a community-wide effort to create “defensible space,” or areas around homes free of ignitable vegetation and debris.

The delay has prevented him from traveling overseas to receive gender-affirming care this month in Ireland since he refuses to get a passport that lists an “inaccurate sex designation.”Orr blames the delay on President Donald Trump, who on the day he took office issued…

By David Tanis, The New York TimesThe craving for vibrant produce is intense this time of year, as the wait for asparagus, peas and tender greens drags on. So here’s a menu for anyone looking for those bright, fresh notes.It begins with a colorful salad that takes cues from Vietnam. Made with reliable hothouse cucumbers, smaller and sweeter carrots, cabbage and herbs, it can even be slightly garish in appearance if you use purple cabbage. Ordinary cabbage is just fine, but if you can find napa — lately I’ve been buying a beautiful magenta-hued variety — so much the better.…
