Amateur Radio Field Day June 23 & 24, 2018
Field Day is an annual
event in which groups of
Amateur Radio (Ham) oper-
ators world-wide set up their
radios under simulated emer-
gency conditions to see how
well they can communicate
with other Hams. Field Day
is also fun event, which
allows the Ham community
to show our skills to the local
community.
Operating “off the grid”,
radio amateurs, referred to as
“Hams”, “hang wire” for
antennas and use generators,

Berman’s Bits
by Dave Berman
Greetings, and thanks for
joining me for another week.
Starting us off are a few
news stories you may have
missed. First, Christopher
Fisher, 31, a social studies
teacher at Quantum High
School in Florida, offered
extra help to “at risk” stu-
dents to pass tests. At least he
offered help to one of the
girls: he promised to give the
teen access to the answers
for the school’s tests if she
undressed, took photos of
herself, and sent them to
him. It’s unclear whether the
girl complied, but she told
another teacher, who told the
principal. The state has
revoked Fisher’s license to
teach and has banned him
from ever teaching in the
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (page4)
Bits”
Next, in case you missed
it, it’s not just teachers. The
football field at a high school
in N.J., was put under sur-
veillance — human poop
was being found on the field
or track “on a daily basis,”
police said. They finally
caught the apparent culprit:
Thomas Tramaglini, 42, lives
about 3 miles away, and ran
on the field’s track each
morning before dawn.
Tramaglini is the
Superintendent of the
Kenilworth school district, a
half-hour north. He has been
put on leave (and still able to
draw his $147,504 salary)
after he was arrested and
charged with lewdness, pub-
lic defecation, and “discard-
ing and dumping of litter.”
pulling over a swerving car
in Fort Pierce, Fla., the offi-
cer smelled marijuana com-
ing from the car. The officer
searched the car and found
suspected marijuana and
cocaine in driver Kennecia
Posey’s purse. Posey, 26,
allegedly admitted to the
officer that the marijuana
was hers, but “I don’t know
anything about any cocaine,”
she told him. “It’s a windy
day. It must have flown
through the window and into
my purse.” She was arrested
and charged with possession
of marijuana — and cocaine.
[WPLG Miami]
Police in Ohio said they
thought a man who reported
being followed by a pig was
drunk, but it turned out he
was "very sober" and indeed
being stalked by swine.
Police said that a man called
911 to report he was being
followed by a pig while
walking home from the train
station. The statement said
police thought the man was
"drunk" and "hallucinating,"
ran over his hand with a
Honda Accord. Truman
apparently didn't notice there
was someone at the wheel of
the car when he was trying to
steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
(3) Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
who purchased a new 32-
foot Winnebago motor
home. On her first trip home,
from an OU football game,
having driven on to the free-
way, she set the cruise con-
trol at 70 mph and calmly
left the driver's seat to go to
the back of the Winnebago to
make herself a sandwich.
Not surprisingly, the motor
home left the freeway,
crashed and overturned.
Grazinski sued Winnebago
for not putting in the owner's
manual that she couldn't
actually leave the driver's
seat while the cruise control
was set. The Oklahoma jury
awarded her $1,750,000.

Finally, just hanging
around. A woman went
house to house in Blue
Springs, Miss., trying to get
help for her boyfriend, and
someone finally called 911
for assistance. Union County
Sheriff’s deputies arrived to
find Shane Treadaway in the
woods, hanging upside-
down from a tree by a cable
— without clothing. He
claimed to have been there
for four hours. “We had to
cut some trees out of the
way, set a ladder up and do
some rope rescue rigging to
secure the patient,” said New
Albany Fire Chief Steve
Coker, “get him extricated
from the cables, and lowered
down to the ground.”
Treadaway was taken to a
hospital by ambulance. “No

ed, “on why he was in the

I shall always love South,
Middle, and North Moat.
They are to me the most
underrated of all the peaks in
the White Mountains and they
never get the credit they
deserve. Perhaps it is because
their proximity to the com-
mercial end of North Conway
that turns hikers off. Or
maybe it is because they don’t
even come close to the 4,000-
foot mark and peakbaggers
ignore them because they
don’t get a patch or a scroll for
climbing them, and their name
will not appear on a website
notifying the world of their
great accomplishment. But
my love for them is beyond
simple rooting for them
because of their “underdog”
status. It is a true and abiding
appreciation for these special
peaks.
Those White Mountain
artists who used North
Conway as their home base
during the 1800s cherished
the Moats. Albert Bierstadt’s
“Moat Mountain” painting is

that were done in that golden
century of art and literature. It
is a classic that tells the story
of a behemoth of a mountain,
its various peaks, angles, and
crags are shown in glorious
light. It’s a light that is “just
right” – the way certain
Hollywood stars of old were
shown in black and white
films. Bierstadt didn’t create
that aura about the mountain;
instead he captured what was
already there.
And the godfather of all North
Conway painters of the era,
Benjamin Champney, had it
right when he said, “Moat
Mountain is a constant source
of study and pleasure. In
truth, Moat Mountain is per-
haps quite as interesting as
Mt. Washington and its lofty
brothers which are seen at a
greater distance.”
It’s that interesting aspect
that had us bringing a guest to
do a traverse of South,
Middle, and North Moat two
weeks ago. This is a set of
three mountains that doesn’t
even come close to their more
notable brethren that are at
least 4,000 feet high. And yet
just above 2,000 feet you pop
out above tree line and stay
that way for hours. Oh, occa-
sionally between each of the
three peaks the trail dips into
the scrub or in the case of the
area between Middle and
North, a twisted, tortured, and
dense micro forest primeval.
We climbed them on a
Friday made both ethereal –
by the mixture of sun and
clouds – and otherworldly –
by the chill winds. Atticus and
I introduced our friend Joe
Carter to the Moats by way of
a traverse from Dugway Road
off of the Kancamagus
Highway, over the three
peaks, and down to West Side
Road by way of an exit
through Diana’s Baths. The
purpose of taking Joe across
the Moats was because our
publisher had commissioned
him to make a book trailer for
Following Atticus, which is
due out in September. (Don’t
know what a book trailer is?
Think of a movie trailer for
books.)
chose that specific day
because it was windy enough
to keep the bugs at bay, the
temperatures were comfort-
able, and the sky was clear of
the recent heated haze. I
chose the route because I
wanted him to be able to cap-
ture the magic of the Whites
on film on mountains that
afford a stunning view with-
out the crowds. It worked
perfectly on all counts and we
only saw one other hiker the
entire day.
Joe had enough views down
along the Sandwich Range,
into the Pemigewasset
Wilderness, up to Crawford
Notch, the Presidential Range,
Carter Notch, the Carters,
Wildcats, and into Maine, to
keep his camera rolling for the
hours we were above tree line.
He couldn’t stop. A hike that
would have taken us maybe
six hours at most wound on
and on. There was always a
better shot to see, a better van-
tage point to capture. That’s
the beauty of the Moats. You
climb the south peak and three
quarters of the way up you
just want to sit and stare out at
Mount Chocorua, which
5Page B-1 • June 15 , 2018 • northcountrynewsnh.com |NORTHCOUNTRY NEWS

looms nearby. You can’t
imagine you’ll have a better
view anywhere else that day.
But the higher you climb the
varied and breathtaking the
views. You reach the summit
of South Moat and you just
want to stay there. Why move
one when it is more beautiful
than most of the other moun-
tains you’ve ever been on?
Then you get to Middle
Mountain and it’s more of the
same. Not more of the same
view, for it changes, becomes
a bit wilder, a bit more isolat-
ed; but more of the same in
way of looking and saying,
“It’s simply beautiful! This is
even better than South Moat.”
And you can’t think it can get
any better so you think about
staying there for longer than
you should. But if you did
that you’d miss the different
and even more stunning views
of North Moat. You have to
climb up some challenging
pitches to get to the top of the
northernmost of the three
Moats but the price you pay is
worth it. It’s the smallest of
the tree summits and the
mountain falls away to the
north, just as it had fallen
away to the south on South
Moat. And the view towards
Carter Notch, Pinkham Notch,
Crawford Notch, and every-
thing in between makes you
tingle with delight.
Washington and her neighbors
on the Presidential Range call
to you and make your heart
ache.
On the day we climbed them
there was a strong, chill wind
blowing in from the north. It
billowed our jackets and
shirts, made us wrap our arms

around ourselves at times to
keep warm, and caused us to
be thankful that this was June
and not January. Atticus even
shivered a bit until I picked
him up and held him in my
arms. Then warmed, he sat in
my embrace and stared
straight into the wind, his
bushy white eyebrows pressed
back against his head as if we
were driving in the car and he
was looking out the open win-
dow.
As for Joe Carter – I think
we spoiled him. It’s one thing
to introduce a camera man to
the White Mountains; it’s
something entirely more
addictive to introduce him to a
place like the Moats. He’s so
hooked that on his way home
to Maine the following morn-
ing he made an impromptu
stop at a trailhead he’d seen
on his way over a couple of
days before and climbed
another mountain. Now he
can hardly wait to get back to
our mountains. That’s exactly
CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW BLACK (page5)
the way I felt when I rediscov-
ered the mountains of my
childhood five years ago with
Atticus. I’m just happy that
Joe is so new to the game that
he’s not prejudiced against the
Moats yet because of their
lack of sexy size. They have
captured his heart and will
stay there, no matter what else
he climbs in the future.
(*And just so you know, the
elevation gain climbing all
three at one time is well over
3,000-feet, which is more ele-
vation gain than some of the
4,000-footer hikes offer.)

Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
is a genetic disorder charac-
terized by progressive mus-
cle degeneration and weak-
ness. Rick spends most of
my time bugging his older
brother and being his best
friend at the same time. He
loves arts and crafts, throw-
ing a ball around and just
having fun. Rick loves fire-
fighters; they always invite
him to their stations and to
play in the trucks.

The Outside Story________________________________________
A Slow Start for
Snapping Turtles
Author: Brett Amy
Thelen
One moonless May
evening, my husband and I
walked down to our local
pond, flashlights in hand, to
look for toads. We were
delighted to discover hun-
dreds of them, floating, dart-
ing, and jockeying for posi-
tion in an explosion of
courtship. Their surround-
sound trills left our ears ring-
ing.
The toads were frenzied,
focused only on each other,
and highly concentrated in
one small, shallow section of
the pond, which prompted
my husband to wonder if
they weren’t awfully vulner-
able to predators that way.
I’d barely had time to con-
template his question when I
spied a snapping turtle lurk-
ing beneath a cloud of toads.
Then, a quiet clap and – just
like that – a toad had disap-
peared into the turtle’s gap-
ing maw. For fifteen minutes,
I watched, mesmerized, as
the stealthy snapper noise-
lessly gulped down four
more unsuspecting toads. It
barely made a ripple.
I consider myself a Toad
Person, but I’m a Turtle
Person too, and I felt like I’d
been given a secret glimpse
into The World of Things
That Happen When Humans
Aren’t Around.
Over the next few days, I
excitedly recounted my turtle
tale to anyone who would lis-
ten, but not everyone found it
so enchanting. To some, my
experience only served to
underscore the snapping tur-
tle’s reputation as a ruthless
killer, slayer of brook trout
and baby ducks.
Given their primeval
appearance, impressive
armor, and signature bite, we
tend to think of snapping tur-
tles as predators, not prey. As
adults, snapping turtles can
weigh upwards of 50 pounds
and grow to more than three
feet in length, with saw-
toothed tails, thick cara-
paces, and powerful jaws, so
it’s true that mature snappers
have few natural predators
aside from humans.
The first year of their lives,
however, is an entirely dif-
Puzzle Answers
ferent story.
Each year, from mid-May
through early July, female
snapping turtles lumber out
of the mire in search of sandy
soil in which to lay their
eggs. They don’t travel far –
nests are typically located
within 80 feet of the water’s
edge – but they often select
nest sites along sandy road
shoulders, making road mor-
tality a clear danger to adult
females and hatchlings alike.
Less obvious, perhaps, is the
threat posed by predators
who thrive in the presence of
human development.
Raccoon. Fox. Coyote.
Crow. All have benefitted
greatly from access to trash,
agricultural fields, and other
food sources provided, inten-
tionally or not, by us. Where
these “mesopredators”
thrive, turtle hatchlings
struggle to survive.
In northern New York, rac-
coons destroyed 94% of all
snapping turtle nests identi-
fied in one turtle nesting
study. During a six-year
study on the reproductive
and nesting ecology of snap-
ping turtles in southeastern
Michigan, predation rates
averaged 70%, with two
years experiencing losses of
100%. The majority of nests
were devoured by raccoons
within 24 hours of egg depo-
sition; foxes made short
work of the remaining nests
later in the season, when the
eggs were close to hatching.
Recent research in Ontario’s
Algonquin National Park
found that nest predation by
canids, especially red fox,
peaked just two weeks
before turtle hatchlings were
expected to emerge. Ravens,
crows, and wild turkeys were
also documented feasting on
snapping turtle eggs.
How do predators find their
way to turtle nests, months
after the eggs have been
tucked away underground?
In Ontario, raccoons and
coyotes have been observed
following the tracks of early-
emerging hatchlings back to
their nests and consuming
what eggs and young remain
in the nest cavity. Canines
may also smell their way to
nests, guided by the scent of
embryonic fluid or the errant
rotting egg.
Another intriguing possibil-
ity: although freshwater tur-
tles have long been seen as
