Among the many ambitions of the Community Classroom Project in Delray Beach is to nurture a new generation of food entrepreneurs — there may be no better example of what is possible than local chef and restaurateur Michael Salmon.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not just criminal prosecutions that worry those who have crossed President Donald Trump. There are more prosaic kinds of retaliation: having difficulty renewing passports, getting audited by the IRS and losing federal pensions.
For the many people who have made an enemy of Trump, his return to the presidency this week sparked anxiety.
