Clockwise starting from far left are Cindy Waldner, Rodney Waldner, Jason Waldner, Karen Wald-

Weaving together more

V V-years o}" i eing "p ara-'
lyzed by fear" in a religious system,
nine former Hutterites in Rolette
County and southern Manitoba have
molded a book out of their individual
narratives.
"Hutterites: Our Story to Free-
dom" runs 170 pages. In each chapter
the former Hutterites describe their
life inside the religious communal
sect. Each chapter is different and yet
shares a common theme of psycho-
logical, physical and, at times, sexual
abuse.
All nine are born again Christians
and testify to the healing they have
received through Jesus Christ who
they say opened the door for them to
break free from the Hutterite system
and enter into a new life.
Glenda Maendel left the colony at
age 25. Her father is a minister in the
Hutterite Colony. Maendel, referring
to the Hutterite young people, said:
"A lot of us struggled with the same
things in our lives. We sought free-
dom from beyond the colonies. In
one way, this book is to let Hutterites
and others know that there is hope for
them and a way out."
Maendel said the book will likely
be banned from Hutterite colonies,
but will just as likely be smuggled in
because many of their former Hut-
terite friends and relatives have a
strong desire to know how those who
left the colony function and survive
on the outside.
Rodney Waldner's chapter openly
describes what he sees as the eco-
nomic injustice and other hypocrisies
continuing in the colonies, all al-
legedly in the name of God. He en-
dured more than 20 years of it before
leaving.• and said everyone, not just
Hutterites, could relate to their sto-
ries.
"A lot of people are struggling or
depressed and that's what each of us
were experiencing inside the
colonies," Waldner said. "It is possi-
ble, if people would read our stories,
they would be able to relate it to their
own lives and come to the saving
knowledge of Jesus Christ."
Jason Waldner expanded on that
point. "I thought I was the only one
struggling and I was to blame." He

The 2013 summer paleontologi-
cal season has been a busy and pro-
ductive time for several institutions
excavating fossils on Eastern Mon-
tana BLM-administered public
lands.
More kinds of fossils can be
found on BLM-managed lands than
anywhere else in the U.S. - that in-
cludes lands administered by other
Federal or state agency. In this part
of Montana where the Hell Creek
Formation is exposed, that statistic
is particularly true.
This year in Garfield County,
Museum of the Rockies staff exca-
vated Triceratops remains that ex-
hibited gouges attributed to T. rex
teeth. According to initial reports,
these specimens extracted from
public land may contribute valuable
information to the broader scientific
record on both T. rex scavenging
and feeding behavior as well as the
growth and development stages of
Triceratops.
Also in Garfield County; the St.
Louis Community College-Mer-
amec from Missouri continued to
work a Triceratops excavation and a
"bone-bed" that has an assortment
of fossilized remains. The St. Louis
Community College staff is updat-
ing information for a stratigraphic
study of the Hell Creek Formation
with a specialized digital panoramic
camera. The images have been
taken back to the college to be re-
assembled with specialized software
to reconstruct the region's ancient
history.

Near-record amount of
waste pesticides collected
BISMARCK - Almost 125 tons of
unusable pesticides were collected
and shipped out of North Dakota in
the 2013 Project Safe Send collec-
tions.
"This year's total is the second
highest since the program was started
in 1992," said Agriculture Commis-
sioner Doug Goehring. "Together
with 2012's record total, almost 270
tons of unusable pesticides have been
collected in the past two years. It
demonstrates the need for this pro-
gram that enables people to get rid of
products they can no longer use or do
not need safely and affordably."
The collections were conducted
during July in 12 communities:
Adams, Ashley, Bowman, Casselton,
Cooperstown, Grand Forks,
Jamestown, Kenmare, Minot, Under-
wood, Wahpeton and Wafford City.
Casselton recorded the largest col-
