Hello Steven: I read your two articles on suicide. The first was not only wrong but extremely hurtful. I don’t think judging or generalizing about people being in rages will lower the rate (of suicide) or help the relatives. Inadequate medical care for the terminally ill, schizophrenics, bipolar, clinically depressed is a big cause (of suicide). Violence to spouses and children is another reason for it. Bullied gay children also. Victims are in nonsurvival states emotionally and mentally and escape hopelessness, not in rages.

If Mo Kennedy’s mother knew what Mo was doing, she’d faint. That’s because in the new book, “Tangled” by Erica O’Rourke, Mo is trying to save two worlds.
“Around the Corner: From Shoeshine Boy to College President” tells the true tale of Louis C. Vaccaro. The son of second-generation Italian immigrants was born in Los Angeles in 1930. From early childhood, he picked up odd jobs to help support his family. Vaccaro’s father always said, “You don’t work, you don’t eat!” And Vaccaro took it to heart.
Question: My crocuses and tulips are poking their heads out of the dirt in my garden. They’re growing. We have had great spring weather in January. Should I let them continue, or should I put some more dirt on them?
Upcoming literary events include a free writers workshop, a Black History Month celebration featuring local authors and a Las Vegas Writers Group meeting featuring mystery author Morgan St. James.
(Regarding “Rugby beginning to thrive in Las Vegas Valley,” Jan. 31), first of all, I love this sport and put an incredible amount of volunteer time in promoting and encouraging (it), so I appreciate the fact (reporter Lisa Carter) took the time to write this piece. For rugby to get any exposure in the media locally is a true step forward in making this game the best it can be.
