Hartman: ‘We’ve
been a lot of places,
and it’s time to relax’
WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Armed militia, clergy, more
unite against white nationalists
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Clergy in robes. A woman
handing out flowers. Black Lives Matter activists. Armed militia
members. Students. Angry anti-fascist protesters.
The diverse group of people who came to oppose a week-
end gathering of white nationalists in this Virginia college town
seemed to outnumber the rally-goers. The counter-protesting
groups didn’t organize collectively. Instead, it was a largely
organic effort among groups who shared the same mission:
showing that hate wasn’t welcome.
“They just wanted to come out and say no. They wanted to
come out and show a robust love for community and what Amer-
ica is meant to stand for,” said Lisa Woolfork, a University of Vir-
ginia professor and 17-year Charlottesville resident. “And I find
that very heartening, very encouraging.”
Officials have not provided a crowd estimate, but there
appeared to be at least 500 people supporting the rally sparked by
Charlottesville’s decision to remove a Confederate monument.
At least twice as many appeared to be there to oppose them.
The violence between the groups erupted well before the
event was supposed to start.
Trump condemns
KKK, neo-Nazis as ‘thugs’
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday
that “racism is evil” as he condemned the KKK, neo-Nazis and
white supremacists as “criminals and thugs.”
The president spoke in the Diplomatic Reception Room of
the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Ses-
sions and FBI director Christopher Wray about the race-fueled
violence Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Trump has come under fire for his comments Saturday that
“many sides” are to blame for the violence. In those remarks, he
did not single out white supremacists or any other hate group,
even as Republican lawmakers and others in his White House did
condemn them by name.
The White House tried to stem the damage on Sunday. Senior
aides were dispatched to the morning news shows, yet they strug-
gled at times to explain the president’s position. A new White
House statement on Sunday explicitly denounced the Ku Klux
Klan and neo-Nazi groups, but it was attributed to an unnamed
spokesperson and not the president himself.
Vice President Mike Pence, traveling in South America, con-
demned “these dangerous fringe groups” and said they “have no
place in American public life and in the American debate.”
Will NKorea’s Kim pull the
trigger? Possible signs to watch
SEOUL, South Korea — Tensions between the United States
and North Korea tend to flare suddenly and fade almost as quickly
— but the latest escalation won’t likely go away quite so easily.
Events closer to home, including deadly violence at a white
nationalist rally in Virginia, could demand more of President
Donald Trump’s attention in the days ahead and cut into the vol-
ume and frequency of his fiery North Korea rhetoric.
But North Korea has yet to back away from its biggest threat:
a plan to lob missiles toward U.S. military bases on the island of
Guam that Pyongyang says should be ready for leader Kim Jong
Un to review anytime now.
Will it all stop there?
Or, despite the extremely high risks, will Kim really give the
go order? And, regardless of what Kim does or doesn’t do, will
the tough-talking Trump feel compelled to take matters into his
own hands?
Arctic voyage finds global
warming impact on ice, animals
VICTORIA STRAIT, Nunavut — The email arrived in mid-
June, seeking to explode any notion that global warming might
turn our Arctic expedition into a summer cruise.
“The most important piece of clothing to pack is good, sturdy
and warm boots. There is going to be snow and ice on the deck of
the icebreaker,” it read. “Quality boots are key.”
The Associated Press was joining international researchers on
a month-long, 6,200-mile journey to document the impact of cli-
mate change on the forbidding ice and frigid waters of the Far
North. But once the ship entered the fabled Northwest Passage
between the Atlantic and the Pacific, there would be nowhere to
stop for supplies, no port to shelter in and no help for hundreds
of miles if things went wrong. A change in the weather might
cause the mercury to drop suddenly or push the polar pack into

Dozens of people gathered Sunday night in downtown As-
toria to show solidarity with Charlottesville, Va., after an
act of domestic terrorism.
the Canadian Archipelago, creating a sea of rock-hard ice.
So as we packed our bags, in went the heavy jackets, insu-
lated trousers, hats, mittens, woolen sweaters and the heavy, fur-
lined boots.
Global warming or not, it was best to come prepared.
More than spectacle: Eclipses
create science and so can you
WASHINGTON — The sun is about to spill some of its
secrets, maybe even reveal a few hidden truths of the cosmos.
And you can get in on the act next week if you are in the right
place for the best solar eclipse in the U.S. in nearly a century.
Astronomers are going full blast to pry even more science
from the mysterious ball of gas that’s vital to Earth. They’ll look
from the ground, using telescopes, cameras, binoculars and what-
ever else works. They’ll look from the International Space Sta-
tion and a fleet of 11 satellites in space. And in between, they’ll
fly three planes and launch more than 70 high-altitude balloons .
“We expect a boatload of science from this one,” said Jay Pas-
achoff, a Williams College astronomer who has traveled to 65
eclipses of all kinds.
Scientists will focus on the sun, but they will also examine
what happens to Earth’s weather, to space weather, and to ani-
mals and plants on Earth as the moon totally blocks out the sun.
The moon’s shadow will sweep along a narrow path, from Ore-
gon to South Carolina.
Between NASA and the National Science Foundation, the
federal government is spending about $7.7 million on next Mon-
day’s eclipse. One of the NASA projects has students launching
the high-altitude balloons to provide “live footage from the edge
of space” during the eclipse.
Critiques fly as Tillerson
struggles to define his mission
MANILA, Philippines — In a wood-paneled stateroom in the
Philippine presidential palace, Rex Tillerson sat across from a
leader who boasts of hunting down drug dealers to personally
kill. Whether he’d confront his host for letting police kill thou-
sands — and how forcefully — was being closely scrutinized for
proof the Trump administration has any commitment to human
rights.
When the secretary of state ultimately broached it last week
with President Rodrigo Duterte, he backed into it, rattling off
U.S. death tolls and addiction rates that tell the story of America’s
opioid crisis. Then he noted matter-of-factly that Americans have
voiced concern about Duterte’s approach to his country’s drug
war. He offered U.S. help, two of the meeting’s participants said.
To Tillerson’s critics, it was the latest underperformance by a
secretary of state they see as abdicating traditional roles and aspi-
rations of American diplomacy. To Tillerson, aides said, it was
a concrete solution to a problem, rather than grandstanding for
grandstanding’s sake.
Since taking office in February, Tillerson has earned praise
from President Donald Trump despite policy differences, top
Cabinet members and even some Democrats, including those
who take solace in the tempering role he plays in an otherwise
frenetic and unpredictable administration.
Yet he’s also stoked deep doubts about his leadership among
many U.S. diplomats and the traditional foreign policy establish-
ment, with a daily drumbeat of editorials like “Why Has Rex Til-
lerson Belly-Flopped as Secretary of State?” and “How Rex Til-
lerson is Wrecking the State Department.”
Neither Hartman nor his
father were active in the
underground, but his father
knew people who were,
people who arranged for
young men to go into hid-
ing. Hartman made his way
to Friesland, in northern
Holland.
“A lot of young men
and Jewish people were liv-
ing underground, working
on farms,” he remembers.
Twice Hartman was almost
caught when Nazis came by
the farm where he was work-
ing, but he managed to hide
in the nick of time. Labor
was in short supply, and the
farmers needed help, but
many were understandably
afraid to provide lodging.
“I worked on a dairy farm
and then in a bakery,” Hart-
man said, “and I slept in a
chicken coop in a doctor’s
garden, with a Jewish boy,
Karl, of about 15.” Seventy
years later, Karl found Hart-
man and called him; he had
been the only one of his fam-
ily to survive.
Most of the underground
was in the hands of local peo-
ple older than Hartman. “If
you saw something unusual
you didn’t ask questions and
you didn’t mention it to any-
one,” Hartman said, “and
there were creepy things
going on. If at night you saw
a car with only one headlight,
that was a ‘one-eyed car’ of
the underground. They were
moving Jews. There were
two girls who were always
on the roads; they were cou-
riers for the underground.”
Despite the secrecy and
insecurity, Hartman found
something to brighten his
life. Her name was Frances,
an attractive and self-reliant

Culver helped his crew keep
nearby boats from coming
loose from moorings and hit-
ting the Alert.
The Alert patrols for
drugs, illegal migration and
fisheries laws along the West
Coast. During Culver’s com-
mand, the Alert intercepted
seven boats, more than 20
smugglers and more than
5,000 kilograms of cocaine.
The crew also performed
more than 1,200 hours of
community service locally, a
practice Culver called on to
continue.
“The so-called burden
of command, it didn’t feel
like a burden,” Culver said,

young woman whose family
farmed nearby. Today, she
sits in a chair a few feet from
her husband. She remem-
bers the end of the war,
when starving people left the
ruined cities for the country,
looking for “food, any food,
and some of them died.”
“After the war we wanted
to get married, but Martin
had to go to college to learn
economics. There was no
money and no homes.” Hart-
man’s mother died shortly
after the war, and the young
couple moved in with his
father and sister.
Hartman got a job work-
ing for the Ministry of Eco-
nomics and the couple mar-
ried, but three months later,
the poor economy led to his
termination, with no hope for
another job.
The Hartmans wanted to
move to the United States
but couldn’t find a spon-
sor, so they made the long
voyage to Australia instead.
They picked fruit and did
other farm work until Mar-
tin got a job demonstrat-
ing agricultural equipment.
Finally, in 1957, they were
able to move to the United
States with their two young
daughters. Here they would
have another daughter and
a son, and Martin would
work a variety of jobs, from
house painting to manufac-
turing. “I always had a job
and the work was always
interesting,” Martin said. “I
never had a job I didn’t like,
and I always gave them 110
percent.”
Hartman retired in 1989,
and in 2005 the couple
moved to Hammond to be
near two of their daughters.
“We’ve been a lot of places,”
Frances said, “and it’s time
to relax.”
crediting his crew for mak-
ing things easy.
Culver said a command-
er’s job is that of an educa-
tor, getting the next gener-
ation ready, and above all,
making sure everyone gets
home safe.
“Alert, your reputation
precedes you,” Reid said of
his new command. “Every-
where I turn for advice and
information, after receiving
orders, I learned very pos-
itive things about you and
our ship.”
Reid said his life-
long goal has been being a
sailor, going to sea and
being a better mariner,
which he asked of his crew
as well.
