Patient, advocate fights cancer homeopathically by Avicra Luckey
avicraluckey@gmail.com Lexie Shabel said her biggest mistake in treating her breast cancer was choosing chemotherapy when she was first diagnosed. Even though cancer was found in only one breast, doctors told Shabel she should have a double mastectomy, a hysterectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy to prevent cancer from returning. She has been able to live with cancer and treats it homeopathically. She founded Breast Wishes Fund, an organization that aims to provide access to breast cancer education and wellness for women of all ages. They also work to increase access to alternative cancer therapies not covered by insurance. These therapies include ultraviolet light blood cleansing, nutritional supplements and vitamin C therapy. “People choose a couple different paths when they’re diagnosed. One is to become a patient and feel confident in their doctor and have it paid for by insurance, and then there (are) people who look at it as a life wake up call,” she said. “You start to reflect on your life and try to understand what’s not working and what happens on many levels, not just the physical.” She said that for the first time during her battle with cancer, she thinks she might be free of the disease. Shabel said she believes her 25-year
career as a photographer and being in darkrooms with various chemicals may have caused the cancer. She realized that her calling was to bring cancer awareness to all women, and share with them the importance of overall health. Her work includes making women more aware of the harmful chemicals that are in the products and foods they eat and use every day, such as the chemicals in nail polish, BPAs in plastic bottles and the harmful materials that contraceptives may contain. “At this point we know that there are many carcinogens in our environment (and) in our products,” she said. “It’s significantly more heightened than it was even a generation earlier and we’re wanting to help young people make decisions from a place of empowerment.” Breast Wishes hosts the event “Speed Date with Wellness” in an effort to educate young women about these issues. The event is in conjunction with local nonprofit organizations and businesses, including Self Serve adult store and Emerita, a feminine hygiene gel product. One of the primary cosponsors of the event is the Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC), an organization which provides support and information to people living with cancer. Deborah Openden, program manager at BCRC, said one of the goals of the event is to increase awareness about all the
various treatment options as well as how to take preventative measures. Activities at the event include massage, organic make-up mini makeovers and yoga. Information on oral contraceptives, the lymphatic system and “well breast health” will be available from physicians, according to the event press release. Shabel said awareness of one’s body is possibly one of the most important weapons to have when fighting illness, and this includes eating well. “Staying on top of those basic functions, your digestion, your sleep, what you’re eating, I really look at food as medicine at this point,” she said. Shabel said she hopes Breast Wishes can partner with sororities in the future, which will offer young people, especially young women, an introduction the possible root causes of their health issues and offer solutions.

MOCK WALL MONOLOGUES
Rebecca Hampton / Daily Lobo Students for Justice in Palestine Co-Chair Danya Mustafa recites a monologue during a performance, criticizing the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories in front of the Mock Wall in Smith Plaza Monday. The Mock Wall, built by representatives from more than 20 organizations and organized by Students for Justice in Palestine, aims to raise awareness and inform the UNM campus about what the groups identify as social injustices at local, national and international levels. The UNM chapter of Amnesty International is circulating a petition to keep the wall up for longer than the three days allowed by the University. Members of (un)Occupy Albuquerque plan to stay overnight on campus in shifts to protect the Mock Wall.

Compost is an organic fertilizer that can easily be made at home. Its nutrients are helpful not only for crops and gardens, but also for the environment. According to “The Rapid Composting Method” by the University of California, all you need to create compost in only two weeks are: 1. Green material. This can be fruit and vegetable wastes, old flowers, fresh garbage and grass and green clippings. 2. Dried material. Any natural dried vegetable matter including dried grass, fallen leaves and small woody materials.
3. Water. Or any other similar liquid that provides moisture. 4. A 1-by-1-by-1 yard container. This must be a covered container to retain the heat that the mixture creates. Step 1: Mix equal proportions of green and dried material in the pile This will make the compost work more effectively by having the perfect ratio of carbon and nitrogen. Make sure that everything for composting is smaller than 1 1/2 inches in size; otherwise, the process takes longer. Step 2: Moisten the mixture with water The compost works better if the moisture content of the materials in the pile is about 50 percent,

Show me how to: Compost
according to the rapid composting article. This means that the mixture should be almost as damp as a squeezed sponge. Step 3: Keep the mixture warm enough Heat is a crucial element that can easily be preserved by closing the compost’s container. Microorganisms produce heat as they break down the material, and keeping the container warm ensures the material decomposes correctly and quickly. The temperature should be about 160 degrees Fahrenheit; otherwise, the process will either take longer or fail to work.

Study: Young people drive less WASHINGTON — Driving is becoming so last century. Since the end of World War II, getting a driver’s license has been a rite of passage for teens, but that’s less and less the case. The share of people in their teens, 20s and 30s with driver’s licenses has dropped significantly over the past three decades, not only in the United States, but also in some other wealthy nations with a high proportion of Internet users, transportation researchers have found. One possible explanation: virtual contact through the Internet and other electronic means is reducing the need for face-to-face visits among young people, researchers say. From 1983 to 2008, the share of 16- to 39-year-olds with driver’s licenses declined markedly, with the greatest decreases among drivers in their late teens and early 20s, according to a study at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute in Ann Arbor. About 69 percent of 17year-olds had a driver’s license in 1983. By 2008, that had dropped to 50 percent. Among Americans ages 20 to 24 in 1983, nearly 92 percent had driver’s licenses. Twenty-five years later, it was 82 percent. The older the age group, the less dramatic the declines, the Michigan study found. But even among 35- to 39year-olds, there was a 3.2 percent decline in the share of licensed drivers.
Compost
More recent data from the Federal Highway Administration indicates the trend has continued, according to a report released Thursday by the Frontier Group, an environmental organization, and the consumeroriented U.S. PIRG Education Fund. The share of 20- to 34-year-olds without a driver’s license decreased from 89.6 percent in 2000 to 84.3 percent in 2010, the report said. Michael Sivak, co-author of the Michigan studies, also confirmed the continuing decline. There are likely several factors behind the trend: a difficult economy for young workers, the high cost of buying and maintaining a car and a migration of young adults toward large cities, where there are more alternatives to driving, Sivak said. There also is evidence that social networking may be reducing the need to for face-to-face contacts, he said. In countries where “more people use the Internet, there is a lower proportion of drivers,” Sivak said. A recent study in 14 countries found seven of them had experienced a similar decrease in the share of young people with driver’s licenses: Sweden, Norway, Great Britain, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Germany. Compared to the other countries that didn’t experience a decline, the study found four characteristics common to the countries where young people are driving less: they are wealthier, a high share of the population is older, a high share of the population lives in
very large cities and a high share of the population uses the Internet. There isn’t enough information to say for certain that teens and younger adults are replacing trips with social networking and other Internet usage, but “there is strong data supporting this hypothesis,” Sivak said. The institute’s research is paid for with federal, state and auto industry contributions. Carmakers have been aware of the trend for about five years, said Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. It’s one reason the industry is looking toward markets in Asia for growth, rather than in the U.S. and Europe, she said. “For generations, the automobile has typified freedom,” Bergquist said. “At 16, many people wanted to get their driver’s license because that was the way people connected with their friends.” Now, she said, “We’re seeing people connect through their iPhones. That’s their primary motivation — they want to be in touch with their friends, so they are less focused on buying a vehicle.” Not surprisingly, the number of miles young Americans drive every year has also been declining as measured by the Transportation Department’s National Household Travel Survey. From 2001 to 2009, the annual number of vehicle miles traveled by drivers 16 to 34 years old decreased from 10,300 miles to 7,900 miles per capita — a drop of 23 percent, Thursday’s report said.
The more you turn the pile, the faster it composts. After two or three weeks, the compost is ready. You know you can start digging it into your garden when the mix loses its heat, reduces its volume and becomes
a brown, semi-homogeneous mixture. The compost provides nutrients including carbon, nitrogen and oxygen that help to grow better grass, plants and even organic crops.

Step 4: Turn the material in the pile once a day For a faster and better compost, turn the pile every day. This action helps the mixture reach optimum temperatures and spreads the microbes that cause the decomposition.

Letter
Progressive budget merits more coverage Editor, The U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus unveiled a budget proposal last week, called A Budget for All, that seeks to balance the federal budget through higher taxes on the rich, cuts to defense spending, reforms to Medicaid to curb abuse and waste and the adoption of a public option to reduce the cost of the Affordable Care Act. The proposed tax increase would mostly affect the top 2 percent of income earners. The proposal calls for reforming the tax system by allowing the Bush-era tax breaks for the rich to expire. It would reduce the overall deductions that the rich can claim on their taxes, tax capital income as ordinary income and enact the Fairness in Taxation Act, which would bring some progressivity back to the federal income tax code. In contrast, Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget proposal — A Road Map for America’s Prosperity — which debuted last month, calls for lower taxes for the rich and big corporations, whose tax rates are already the lowest they’ve been in 50 years. Ryan’s proposal calls for reducing the top income tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent, a reduction that would benefit the top 2 percent the most. A report recently released by the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows that people with incomes above $1 million would receive an average annual benefit of $265,000 from the Ryan tax cuts alone — not counting what they would also receive from the budget’s plan to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. Middle-income taxpayers — those with incomes between $50,000 and $75,000 — would receive $1,045 on average. The report explains that the best gauge of the distributional impact of a tax cut is the percentage change that it causes in the after-tax incomes of households at different income levels. A progressive tax cut raises after-tax incomes by a greater percentage among lower- and middle-income people than among higher-income people. A regressive tax cut provides a larger percentage of after-tax income gain at the top of the income scale and thereby widens income inequality. Both budget proposals claim to balance the federal budget within 10 years; however, a new report released by the Economic Policy Institute shows that while Ryan’s budget reduces the deficit over the short term, it increases it over the long term. The CPC’s budget does the opposite. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Ryan’s budget proposal would also essentially repeal the ACA — commonly referred to as Obamacare. The ACA will extend health insurance to millions of Americans. Ryan’s budget would also cut programs like Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program that serve the most vulnerable among us. What we need is a balanced approach that requires higher-income earners and corporations to pay their fair share of taxes while protecting the social safety net and other discretionary programs. The CPC budget preserves the safety net, protects the middle class and invests heavily in job creation measures. Ryan’s budget gives more tax breaks to the rich and big corporations. The Ryan budget, which was passed by the House but has not been voted on in the Senate, has also received wide media coverage. The CPC budget, which will not likely be brought up for a vote, has received almost no media coverage. Kwaku Sraha UNM student

Family conflict requires thought before moving Dear Wooley, Right now I am very conflicted in my home-life situation. I live with my parents, and they have been so gracious as to let me live in their home for free as long as I stay in school, which I am very grateful for. I am respectful of their rules: I’ve stayed in school, gotten good grades, come home every night at a decent hour so as to not wake them, have a part-time job and do my part to make sure I don’t destroy their house. I’ve always been a mama’s girl, but lately it seems nothing I do is good enough or OK by her. My four years are up this May, but I have to go to school for another year, and my mother has been very vocal about her disapproval. I also have a boyfriend whom she dislikes, and she has told me she doesn’t support my relationship. This doesn’t faze me much because she’s never really liked any of my boyfriends; she complains that I don’t have one, but then when I go get one, she complains about him. I’m not going to break up with him just because she doesn’t like him. It has been very tense between me and my parents lately, although I don’t feel like I am living a bad lifestyle; I don’t drink, smoke or go out with friends. I go to school, go to work, do homework and sleep. I rarely have any free time outside of my responsibilities. She told me she and my father are very disappointed in me, and I can feel the tension living in their home. I don’t want to live somewhere where I feel like I’m in trouble for nothing. I know my parents want the best for me and want to see me succeed in all I do, but I don’t know what more I can do to get them to be proud of me. I’ve tried to talk to both of them about it, but it usually ends up in an unhealthy screaming argument. I love them and want them to be a part of my life, but at this point, I don’t even know how to maneuver the situation. I want to move in with my boyfriend, but my mother will definitely disapprove. On the other hand, I don’t want to move out
because I can save so much money in order to move out after I graduate in a year. Plus, I don’t know how our relationship will be once I move out because I don’t want her to snub me like she has my sister: they barely speak, even on holidays. I want a healthy relationship with my parents, but I am at a loss as to how to achieve that at this point. I have no idea what to do now or where to go from here. -Failing to make mom and dad proud Dear Failing, Your situation really isn’t all that uncommon among college students. There are plenty of folks in similar situations to yours, so don’t think you’re alone. I imagine the whole 18-to-20-something age range is just as much of a struggle for parents as it is for their kids because parents, having walked through so much of life already, want to step in and help us out. At the same time, the young folks are increasingly — if not already — independent, which changes the dynamic of the parent/child relationship. Hear me correctly: we always need our parents to be our parents, and they always will be, but around this time in our lives, often the relationship turns more into a friend/friend relationship. This change isn’t always easy for parents or for their children. It also can’t be forced. Like you said, parents want what’s best for their kids; they just may not always know what that is, or how to trust in the fact that their child is an adult. This is a time of change for them, too; just keep that in mind. So, what do you do? Well, as long as you’re living under your parents’ roof, you don’t have a choice — their roof, their rules. You’re a guest in their house. If you aren’t happy, move out. No one is forcing you to stay there. While you’ll have a whole lot more responsibility when you finally do move out, you’ll have the freedom you finally want. Now, whether you move out on your own or find a roommate, and whether that roomie is your boyfriend or your sister — all those factors matter for your decision, but weigh them carefully. All of these will impact your life, relationships and the one space you should feel most safe and comfortable: your home.
My home is a place of peace and rest where I can relax. Ask yourself what you want your ideal living situation to be like and how it makes you feel, and then try to intentionally align your home and environment with that vision. To take advice from a popular ‘90s movie, maybe you should make a list of 10 things you like and hate, and consider whether they make you feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed. As far as salvaging or strengthening your relationship with your parents, you only have so much control over that. You can’t control other people’s words, desires, opinions or actions, only your own. Regardless of your living situation choices, let your parents know that you value your relationship with them. As long as you feel it’s welcomed, continue to pursue it, and when it’s not, keep your peace. In regard to you having another year of school, kudos on getting this far. Finish strong. As I’m finding out now, the last year is sometimes the hardest, but if you continue to work hard and rely on those supportive people in your life such as friends, mentors and — yes — family, you can do it. Don’t give up.

Texas farmers irked by early irrigation by Christopher Sherman The Associated Press
McALLEN, Texas — Melted snow providing water for irrigation had barely begun burbling down a bone-dry Rio Grande toward a thin 4-mile-wide strip of farmland straddling the U.S.-Mexico border when a war of words erupted. Mexico wanted a traditional early release from reservoirs so spring planting wouldn’t be delayed. Texas farmers, fearing a historic drought could tighten its grip again this summer, wanted to delay the release for a couple of months to ensure enough water was left to help crops survive the hottest, driest part of the year. Dividing the Rio Grande’s waters is a complicated annual undertaking governed by arcane agreements and imperfect calculations. When there’s plenty of water it flows smoothly, but with farmers on both sides of the border confronting severe drought — officials expect to have about one-third of the water of a normal year — Texas officials quickly lashed out at an international commission’s decision to release the water, accusing it of putting Mexico’s water needs ahead of drought-stricken Texas farmers in the El Paso Valley. Mexico is guaranteed a fraction of the water from Rocky Mountain snows that drain into two New Mexico reservoirs. Once released, the water flows down the Rio Grande toward Texas, where it’s diverted to Texas and Mexican farmers by dams. Local irrigation districts move the water through canals to farmers’ fields. With water expected to be scarce
this year, two irrigation districts in New Mexico and Texas — which receive most of the water — decided in February to take their first deliveries in May rather than in March as they typically do. The idea was to delay the irrigation season in an effort to stretch what little water would be available to the end of the growing season. But this posed a problem for Mexican farmers who need water to get their cotton started in late March and April. Mexico asked the International Boundary and Water Commission, a binational body charged with applying the treaties governing the river and boundary, to take its share in March. The IBWC ordered the water released, and Texas farmers accepted it, although under protest. It’s more efficient to move a lot of water than a little, especially when the riverbed has been a sandy sponge for months. Irrigation districts estimate twice as much water will be lost to seepage than delivered to Mexico in this release, and those losses come out of the U.S. share, not Mexico’s. “The March delivery request is very normal for Mexico,� IBWC spokeswoman Sally Spener said. “What caused the concern was that in an ideal world everybody would take the deliveries at the same time because that’s a more efficient way of moving water.� Farmers in West Texas are trying to make the best of the situation, planting more now to take advantage of the early release but knowing it might mean they run out of water before the end of the growing season.

Bizarre upper -division classes
Summer
By now you’re thinking you can’t wait for summer so you can do nothing but drop into a coma for a couple days, after which you’ll soak up the sun. Don’t kid yourself, though — you know you’ll be bored soon enough. These are some interesting courses if you need upper-division credit to stay on track or just something to keep your brain in shape while you let everything else hang loose. For most of these courses, you don’t even need prerequisites.
American studies 340
Conspiracy theories William Dewan scored 4.8 out of 5 for overall quality on RateMyProfessors.com, though most of the comments referred to his class on UFOs. Unfortunately, the American Studies website has no course description for this class, but you can speculate as to what he’s conspiring to teach. Fortunately this class is only on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. because you’ll have to hoof it to UNM West in Rio Rancho for this one. However, you’ll have lots to ponder on the way home. The class runs from June 4 through July 28.
Media arts 430
‘60s Pop Art and culture It’s safe to say the ‘60s are making a comeback, judging by the fashion these days and the popularity of nostalgic bits of culture such as “Mad Men.� The course description on the cinematic arts website says the class will not be about the mainstream media that was so politically self-conscious. Instead, the course covers material that might be thought of as campy, in addition to independent films by various artists in the Pop Art scene. Class is Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1 to 7:30 p.m., June 4 to June 22.
Religion/Philosophy 440
Seminar: Buddhist sutras To learn about Buddhist theory and practice in this course, you’ll have to embark on a journey — but not simply a spiritual one. For two weeks, students will study at the Jemez Bodhi Manda Zen Center with visiting professors from various universities, according to the course description. Anyone interested also has the option of directed meditation. The class runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., June 4 to 15. Prerequisites are Religion 263 (Eastern Religions) or 343 (Buddhist Philosophy) or Philosophy 334 (Indian Philosophy) or 336 (Chinese Philosophy).
Art studio 389
Experimental drawing You don’t want to slack off completely this summer, but the class you decide to take should still be relatively relaxed. Some people find art meditative, but if you’re a control freak who tries to dictate every aspect of an artwork, then this could be an interesting experience. Without a course description on the

site, it’s difficult to say what Scott Anderson has in mind, but he scores a 4.8 out of 5 for overall quality on RatemMyProfessors.com. Chances he’s got something worthwhile in store. Classes are Monday through Friday, May 14 to 25, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Fall
There’s nothing that motivates you to try your best again like signing up for a new class schedule. The ambition to outdo ourselves results in a tendency to overload our plates. Here are some classes you can pepper throughout your fall 2012 schedule to spice things up a bit without adding too much heat. No prerequisites are necessary.
Comparative literature 432
Magic, witchcraft and science This is a new class taught by Carmen Nocentelli. She’s had a couple ratings on RateMyProfessors.com giving her a 4.5 out of 5 in overall quality for other classes she’s taught. Nocentelli said she’s still sorting out the particulars, but the class will probably read selections from “The Hammer of the Witches� and “New Atlantis.� The former is a 15th-century treatise that attempts to prove the existence of witches and explains how to catch them for persecution. The latter is a 17th-century novel by Sir Francis Bacon about his utopian vision of humanity. The class is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 1:45 p.m.
Art studio 370
Arita porcelain vessels Even if you haven’t seen the movie “Ghost,� the scene in which Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore do some sexy clay throwing is well-known. This class will teach you all you need to know about this Japanese style of throwing clay on a wheel, but you’ll have to learn the romancing on your own. Class is Wednesdays from 3:30 to 8:15 p.m.
History 300 or Women’s studies 379
History of sexuality
You can take this as either History 300 or Women’s Studies 379. Some people are put off by history because the idea of memorizing a series of dates and events seems dry. On the other hand, everybody thinks about sex. If you need upper-division arts and sciences credit but you want something to keep you interested, this is a tantalizing course in which you can learn about topics such as homosexuality in ancient cultures and polyamory. Class is Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 6:15 p.m.
Music 375
The Beatles’ musical revolution If you’ve ever said you like the Beatles while only knowing a handful of their songs, you’ve got a lot to learn about these Liverpool lads. The class description indicates students will learn about the band’s history and music within the context of the social and cultural movement between 1957 and 1970. Class is Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can opt for the 12:30 to 1:45 p.m. section or the 2 to 3:15 p.m. section.
History 300
History of sport For athletes or sports fanatics who need a break from the brain drain of the typical academic offerings, this class might be the time-out you’ve been looking for. While it may not go into depth on the sports you’re familiar with, you might be introduced to some ancient recreation worthy of you bringing it back to life. Class is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. ~Alexandra Swanberg

The Weekly Free
There are three weeks left until finals, in case you didn’t start counting down as soon as spring break ended. Here are some ways you can entertain yourself this week.
Résumé workshop TUESDAY
With summer rolling up, you’ve got a few options on the menu. You can relax in preparation for another hefty year of schoolwork, or you can do some real preparation by getting a job or internship. To get the choice position that may prove to be a bridge to your professional career, you’ll need to show them you deserve it. Job coach Jane Emberty is at the Esther Bone Memorial Library from 6 to 7:30 p.m. to review your current résumé and help you make it stronger. The library is at 950 Pinetree Rd. S.E.
Speed dates WEDNESDAY
You’ll never know what kind of mates you’ll be paired up with until you take the plunge — at a speed dating session. On this speed dating quest for health, you can expect offerings of massages, beauty treatments, consultations with health care professionals, information about health care issues and a body-art booth, according to the kunm.org event listing. The session is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the east side corridor of the SUB.
NEWS FROM BIOLOGY!!! • Ever need to take a Biology course and the sections are all closed? • Need your science core class, but cannot come to campus at the times it is offered? • Want to do your course work at a distance? The Department of Biology in coordination with Extended University is offering the following courses on-line for Fall 2012 semester: Biol 123 Biol 237 Biol 247

Film screening WEDNESDAY
“Call of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction” is about the earth’s escalating loss of biodiversity, meaning large-scale species extinctions. According to CallofLife.org, the film is not just about the effects of environmental degradation, but how human behavior, culture, the economy and psychology have allowed this to happen. The screening is followed by a discussion with ecopsychologist Allen Kanner about climate change and the human role in the phenomenon. The film starts at 6 p.m. in the Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education Theater.
Film screening WEDNESDAY
“The Grapes of Wrath” has tortured many high school English students with its 619 pages of dust and depression. Now that you’re an adult, you might have a greater appreciation for the desperate economic situation in which the Joads and other Okies found themselves in. The film is likely easier to swallow than the book, if only because you just have to sit back and watch. It plays at the KiMo Theatre at 423 Central Ave. N.W. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film runs from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
Writing symposium THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
Contrary to the title, there is not much about writing in this symposium except for a discussion revolving around literacy issues. Other keynote speeches and panel discussions will touch on current issues in ecology and social justice, such as health care access, immigration reform and climate change, according to kunm.org. The talks run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both days in SUB Ballroom A.
Musical performance FRIDAY
For those whose musical taste lies along the fringes, the “Major and Friends” performance at the OFFCenter Community Arts Studio might be the right sound to feed your soul. According to kunm.org, the group is an “eclectic mix of folk instruments and ancient chants,” and a “moving group of sounds and feelings.” If anything, it might give you the thirst for logic you need to get your head back in school. The studio is at 808 Park Ave. S.W. and the show starts at 4 p.m. ~ Alexandra Swanberg

the year’s best-selling novel. He said the synopsis came as a surprise and suggested similarities to the work of popular mystery writer Alexander McCall Smith and Mark Haddon, a children’s writer who had a huge adult hit with “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” “We were all expecting some sort of crime or mystery novel, but she has, refreshingly, surprised us all,” Howells said. “The plot sounds like it will have hints of Mark Haddon and McCall Smith, and the promise of black comedy is very beguiling.”

LONDON — It may lack wizards and witches, but J.K. Rowling and her publisher are hoping her first novel for adults, “The Casual Vacancy,” will have the magic touch. The book’s title was announced Thursday by Little, Brown & Co. along with a brief plot synopsis and publication date. The publisher said the “blackly comic” tale of rivalry and duplicity in a small English town would be available worldwide on Sept. 27. The book will be Rowling’s first post-Potter effort. Her seven-volume saga about the adventures of a boy wizard became one of the most successful fictional series in history and led to a series of extremely popular films. The new book, aimed at a grown-up audience, will be set in a seemingly idyllic English town called Pagford which is described as far more menacing than its pretty facade would indicate. It opens with the sudden death of a popular man whose unexpected demise shocks the town. The battle for his seat on the local council sets off “the biggest war the town has yet seen,” with rich people fighting poor, parents battling their teenagers, and wives in conflict with their husbands. The publisher said the 480page novel will be sold as an e-book and audio download as well as in traditional hardback form. The seven Harry Potter novels have sold 450 million copies and have been translated into 74 languages. Rowling’s final Potter offering, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” was published in 2007. She published a short Potter spinoff collection of stories, “The Tales of Beedle The Bard,” in 2008. Rowling said earlier this year she wanted to reach an adult audience, but kept the book’s name and publication date secret until Thursday. In the past, many successful children’s writers have struggled to remake themselves as adult authors. Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne, a successful playwright in his early years, once confessed that he was forced to say “goodbye to all that” after his beloved books about the bear and friends. But Rowling has one advantage: the Potter books had a huge adult, as well as child, audience. Jon Howells of British book store chain Waterstones said “The Casual Vacancy” would likely be

Playwrights play with fire by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Themes such as gender identity, the Occupy Wall Street movement, alcoholism, suicide, the Iraq War and the housing and economic crises dominate this year’s Words Afire! Festival of New Plays. The festival features plays by UNM graduate students whose studies focus on dramatic writing. First- and second-year students put on dramatic readings of their plays, having actors read from the script onstage, and third-year students put on full productions of their plays. Elaine Avila, artistic director of Words Afire!, said the recent banning of books such as “Bless Me, Ultima” by Rudolfo Anaya in Arizona makes the play writing program even more vital because it gives voice to many Hispanic writers. Graduate student Christina Hjelm won Best Latino Playwright from the Kennedy Center for “Casualties of Dreams and Sand.” Actors will do a stage reading of it Friday. “I feel like this is the voice of tomorrow,” Avila said. “I feel that telling these stories is kind of under threat in America today. It’s a very precious thing we have.” She said UNM’s playwriting program is renowned. Student Law Chavez wrote the headlining play “Señora de la Pinta,” which is the only full production in the festival. Chavez said the themes of this year’s plays are especially dark. “Feel free to laugh. A lot of people are afraid to laugh when they go to serious tragedies,” he said. The festival showcases the graduate students’ year of work. Chavez said it takes about a year to write a full-length play ready to be performed. “Señora de la Pinta” took him 16 months, he said. The play tells the story of a Hispanic transsexual man whose brother is killed in the 1980 New Mexico State Penitentiary Riot. It follows the
basic Oedipus story and includes incest, suicide and self-inflicted blindness. Chavez said he is often inspired by historical events. “I’ve always liked creative writing and writing plays. I wanted to take on that challenge of doing everything through dialogue; all the action has to be through dialogue,” he said. “And it’s going to sound crazy, but I always see imaginary scenes in my mind with people arguing with each other or whatever.” He said he uses small personal anecdotes in his play, such as referencing his favorite cookie or using an expression with his mom’s name in it. He said it can be nerve wracking to be in the audience as people watch his plays, but he still enjoys it. “There’s a part of me that’s a little nervous, and it may sound really vain or conceited, but I really like my plays,” he said. “So they go into production and I’m like, ‘Oh, what’s going to happen next?’ and then I’m like, ‘Of course, I wrote it.’ There’s a little nervousness with people watching, but I get so involved in watching it myself that I forget.” More than 50 people are involved in the festival and the actors are a mix of undergraduate students, graduate students and community members. The actors volunteer their time to help the playCourtesy Photo wrights, and Chavez said he is indebted to them. Left to right, Perla Ponce Nuñez as Josefina, Nicole Gramlich as Yvonne and Marcos Kelly as Gringo act in “Señora de “I’m incredibly appreciative,” he said. “I think la Pinta,” the only full production play in the Words Afire! festival. The festival features the work of graduate student they have to have the love for acting, and then they also have to really like the script and care about playwrights, and this year’s plays discuss the Occupy movement, alcoholism, suicide and sexual identity. the characters they’re playing.
