1.“I survived
combat in Iraq and a suicide attempt at home; many veterans aren’t so lucky” By Danny
O’Neel of the Treasure Coast Palm

This article has to do with veterans and how the suicide rate
among them when they
come back from war is extremely high. The writer of the
article has actually had more
friends die from suicide than killed in Iraq when
they served. Particularly the article
focuses on the fact that vets are not
provided enough care upon return. It was stated how
therapists are outnumbered
and staff shortages at facilities cause vets to be turned away.
It seems that
action is being taken too late with vets. Overall, focusing on the mental
health of veterans is extremely important to help transition them back to
normal life after
going through war and fighting for our country.
·
The problem stated is that veterans suicides are only growing in
society and it is because
of the lack of mental help offered to them after
coming home. Not having people to talk to
and help with transiting back to
normal life is hard for soldiers, especially when they have
seen friends die and
other horrors of war. That is where the suicidal tendencies come
from, the
trauma faced during war that they do not know how to cope with when they
come
back home from the lack of helpful resources offered.
·
This particular problem would affect Veterans, who come back from
places of war and
cannot adjust back to civilian life. Specifically the lack of
mental health services provided
and available to veterans when coming back from
war. It is shown that steps need to be
made with the veteran suicide rate increasing,
it is only going to get worse until sufficient
help is given.
2.“‘Smoking in
the boys’ room’ has always been a problem. Here’s why vaping is worse”
By Gil Smart of the Treasure Coast Palm

·
This article has to do with vaping and its increased use by young
teens in schools. It talks
about how kids are actually vaping in the bathrooms
while at school and how kids are
vaping because they think it is actually safer
than smoking. It is even going as far as
students bringing them into the middle
school and using them there. Overall, vaping is
being used by younger and
younger users who do not know the health implications of it.
The article also
talked about the parental concerns and knowledge that parents have
about vaping
and their children’s use of it.
·
The problem stated is the increasing use by young people of vaping
and juuling. Also with
the ability to smoke cannabis through the vapes. Vapes
are particularly a problem
because people are using it at such a young age and
users do not know enough about
the health effects of vaping, particularly the
common untrue thought that it is better for
you than smoking cigarettes.
·
This particular problem would affect young people who do not know
all the facts about
vaping, juuling, etc. so they decide to try it. People at
ages young as middle school are
trying these without really knowing how harmful
it is to them. The problem of vaping in
general would affect all people who do
it, especially thinking that is it actually safer than
smoking.
3.“Beachside-parking
issue still plagues Vero Beach, but parking meters are a no-go for now” By Colleen
Wixon of the Treasure Coast Palm

·
This article has to do with the issue of parking on Ocean Drive
and the surrounding
streets. It talks about the current issues with the two
hour parking limit and the large
amount of people trying to come and park in
the area, include employees of surrounding
businesses and people coming to
visit and shop. It Also addressed the possibility of
building a parking garage
for the area.
·
The problem stated is that parking on Ocean Drive in Vero Beach
and streets of the
surrounding area in the beachside business district is
becoming a bigger and bigger
issue. Parking as a whole is an issue, like the
timing of when you can park, the use of
parking meters, the restrictions of who
is allowed to park there, among others.
·
This particular problem would affect a lot of people not only
people who live in the
surrounding area but also people who are going to visit
the area and need to park. With
its current two hour parking limit, this is a
problem for shoppers who want to stay longer,
employees of surrounding businesses
that have long shifts, among others.
4.“Algae is in
the news again, and it’s not good for any of us”
By Ed Killer of the Treasure Coast Palm
Link: https://infoweb-newsbank-com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/apps/news/document-view?p=WORLDNEWS&t=pubname%3ATCPWS%21Treasure%2BCoast%2BPalm%253A%2BWeb%2BEdition%2BArticles%2B%2528FL%2529&sort=YMD_date%3AD&page=3&maxresults=20&f=advanced&val-base-0=business%20problem%20&fld-base-0=alltext&docref=news/16F194D3C654C210
·
This article has to do with the continued talk of toxic algae
along the treasure coast and
the negative affect that this press is causing on
local businesses in the area. It is causing
people who live in the area and
people who use the tourist for their income to struggle.
The locals do not like
all this “bad press” with the continued media exposure of the “Toxic
Algae
Town”. The author states that he wants to constant media attention off of toxic
algae and the area.
·
The problem stated is that people who live and work in the
Treasure Coast are done with
the negative effects the continued media attention
on toxic algae and the Treasure Coast
has had on people who make a living
through the water and tourists. The negative press
is not helping any of their
businesses and that is how they make a living.
· This particular problem would affect the people who run businesses
on the Treasure
Coast, like fisherman, hotels, restaurants, boat dealers,
people who own local shops in
the different areas, and so on. Really anyone who
makes their money from the water or
from tourists and others visiting their
hotels, shops, restaurants, etc.
5.“Oyster
farmer sees business as ‘the key’ to saving Florida’s environment – A Pensacola
oyster famer believes private enterprise must rise to meet our ecological
challenges.”
By Eve Samples of the Treasure Coast Palm

·
This article has to do with a local of Pensacola Bay and his idea
that his oyster farm and
the creation of others like it will help to improve
the environmental state of Pensacola
Bay. It also talks about some of the cause
to why the Pensacola Bay has been
diminished. Also about the local, McMahon’s,
hope for future generations to continue the
work as they are the future.
·
The problem stated is that the Pensacola Bay is not what is once
was and while it is on
the way back it needs to be cared for one local thinks
that his oyster farm and others like
it can do that. It needs to be cared for
by future generations as well.
·
This particular problem would affect people who live and work in
Pensacola Bay and
need it to create their income.
