Nurses group honors Domenici

The Emergency Nurses Association has given Sen. Pete Domenici, an Albuquerque Republican, its 2008 Public Service Award.

The award recognizes Domenici's efforts to build broad-based support for legislation to provide parity in health care coverage for mental health and addiction treatment.

Sen. Edward Kennedy also got an award for his work with Domenici in securing the Senate passage of the Mental Health Parity Act in 2007.

The group's annual Public Service Award honors members of congress who take active leadership roles in health care policy and who are advocates for nursing, health care or injury prevention issues.

Listening woman

The art of Helen HardinThe story goes that in the 1970s, Indian artists Helen Hardin and Fritz Scholder had words. What prompted the exchange is not known, but allegedly Hardin quipped that if her colleague got punched in the nose and it started to bleed, he would lose his Indian blood in five minutes. If the tale is true, this was quite a verbal TKO for someone who was not a full-blooded Indian herself. One of Hardin's parents was Anglo, the other a member of Santa Clara Pueblo. Scholder was one-quarter Luiseño. »Story
