The tribe is critical of the movie which tells a story about na tive religion, drug dealing and mur der. In the book, Navajo police nab a suspect at a I iopi religious ceremony which is so sacred Hopi religious leaders are reluctant to explain or talk about it. Leaders feel the movie destroys a great portion of their religious cer emony depicting what is consid ered very sacred. Dark Wind producer Patrick Markcy said there is no need for leaders to worry about the film be cause the ending at the ceremony has been eliminated. No Hopi culture, ritual or anything that is part of the mythological, liturgical belief system is depicted, say producers. The film makers thought they had reached a compromise by changing the ending of the movie, but the Hopis arc not satisfied and want the entire project shelved.

The Warm Springs community is seeing an increasing number of pa tients suffering from kidney disease, usually as a result of diabetes. Dia betes damages the blood vessels that carry blood to the kidneys to be fil tered. Normally, waste products that have collected in the blood are re moved by the kidneys, and leave the body in the urine. Then, the cleaned blood leaves the kidneys. When people have had diabetes for a long time, their kidneys may become damaged. The kidneys can no longer filter the blood as well as before. The waste products that would normally leave the body in the urine stay in the blood. Products that the body needs that would normally stay in the blood are lost in the urine. This is called nephropathy (kidney dis ease). nl. ! haven't yet come in to pick up a registration packet - you do need one! Packets are available at the new Early Childhood Education Center.

The monument will be in the shape of an arrowhead made of black granite slabs erected vertically against a three-angled vertical wall.

In the early stages, kidney prob lems can be treated with a special diet or medicines. However, some times the kidneys become so damaged that another way to filter the blood must be used.. This is called dialysis. Kidney disease caused by diabe tes may be prevented through good blood sugar control. The best way to keep blood sugar in the target range is by carefully balancing diet and activity. Medicines or insulin may at times be needed as well.
