A triumphant return from retirement. A battle with a life-threatening illness. A starring role in a film that’s getting Oscar buzz. In her 10 years, Bella, a wirehair fox terrier, already has seen enough drama to warrant her own sensational tell-all on the E! television network. “I fell in love with Bella at first sight,” says Lucia Hackett of the retired show dog she purchased from a breeder. Bella (or Ch Hiwire Act at Hexham CD RE SE CGC, as the title- winning terrier is officially known) and Hackett began obedience work and soon started showing, this time in the veterans’ ring. Life seemed unfailingly sunny. Then last April, Hackett brought Bella to Tufts’ foster Hospital for Small Animals with gastrointestinal issues. Veterinarians found a lump in her abdomen: a mast cell tumor, a common type of skin cancer in dogs. “I couldn’t believe Bella was so sick,” says Hackett, who lives in North Grafton, Mass. “I love this dog, and I never want to see her suffer.” Rob McCarthy, V83, a veterinary surgeon at Tufts, removed the tumor and two lymph glands, one of which was malignant. Five days later, Bella was back home.“I didn’t want her climbing stairs, so I decided to sleep with her on the kitchen floor,” says Hackett. “Later that night, she came to lick my ear. Her tail was wagging, and I think she was saying, ‘I’m home.’” Determined to be optimistic about Bella’s recovery, Hackett submitted some photos of her pet to a casting call posted online for a new Wes Anderson film. Anderson, who received Academy Award nominations for The Royal Tenenbaums and The Fantastic Mr. Fox, cast Bella in his seventh movie, Moonrise Kingdom. Four weeks after her surgery, Bella was on set in Newport, R.I., with the actors Bill Murray, Bruce Willis and Tilda Swinton. The film, about two runaways, comes out early next year. It’s already garnering Oscar chatter. Far from the glare of Tinseltown, Hackett is content to simply enjoy more time with Bella: “I hug her especially tight each day.” PHOTO: ALONSO NICHOLS 29023cvr.indd 3 10/31/11 7:01 PM contents FALL 2011 VOLUME 13 NO.1 features 6 the Landlord Ray Powell, V84, is the guardian of 13 million acres of land in New Mexico that generate $500 million annually for the state’s public schools, universities and hospitals. 8 ain’t misbehavin’ Some expert advice on transforming your “cat from hell” into a mannerly feline.

  • Reinvesting in Arts Education
    President’s Committee on the Arts And the humAnities Reinvesting in Arts Education Winning America’s Future Through Creative Schools reated in 1982 under President Reagan, the President’s CCommittee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) is an advisory committee to the White House on cultural issues. The PCAH works directly with the Administration and the three primary cultural agencies –– National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) –– as well as other federal partners and the private sector, to address policy questions in the arts and humanities, to initiate and support key programs in those disciplines and to recognize excellence in the field. Its core areas of focus are arts and humanities education, cultural exchange, and community revitalization. The First Lady serves as the Honorary Chairman of the Committee, which is composed of both private and public members. Through the efforts of its federal and private members, the PCAH has compiled an impressive legacy over its almost 30-year tenure, conducting major research and policy analysis, and catalyzing important federal cultural programs, both domestic and international. These achievements rely on the PCAH’s unique role in bringing together the White House, federal agencies, civic organizations, corporations, foundations and individuals to strengthen the United States’ national investment in its cultural life. Central to the PCAH’s mission is using the power of the arts and humanities to contribute to the vibrancy of our society, the education of our children, the creativity of our citizens and the strength of our democracy.
