2019 CLEARWATER FESTIVAL

THE GREAT HUDSON RIVER REVIVAL A MUSIC & ENVIRONMENT CELEBRATION

Around the rim of the round part of his banjo, Pete has hand-lettered the following legend: “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender”. This message is there in black, gracefully brushed letters on the white, taut tympan of the banjo the folk singer carries with him the way most men wear their right arms. It goes all the way around so the word “surrender” meets the beginning words “This machine”, and you can not see what is written unless you get quite close.

It says a lot about Pete Seeger to know that his idea of a banjo is a “love machine”; probably no one else has ever thought of a banjo in quite those terms.

“Sailing down my dirty stream Still I love it and I’ll dream Maybe someday, maybe not this year My Hudson River may once again run clear” The Hudson River Sloop is going to be another kind of “love machine” and it is another Pete Seeger dream.

— Maine Times October 25, 1968, “Pete Seeger’s dream boat”

Letter from Clearwater’s

PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD

D

ear Friends and Members…

On behalf of the Clearwater Board of Directors, welcome to the 41st Annual Clearwater Festival and The Great Hudson River Revival.

If you wonder why I am welcoming you to both, let me explain. Our annual event has always been both a festival and a revival.

As a festival, it’s a chance to celebrate great music, renew friendships, enjoy wonderful food, and to visit the many curated vendors that provide both utility and beauty to our lives. As a revival, it’s a 2

chance for us to recharge our batteries and renew our strength for the struggles that lie ahead. This year, more than ever, we need both a festival and a revival.

This is a banner year for Clearwater, being the 50th anniversary of the launching of the Sloop Clearwater and the 100th year since the birth of our founder, Pete Seeger. It is his memory that guides us and inspires us toward doing our part to make this a better world. For this reason the Clearwater board, its committees, the staff, and our thousands of wonderful volunteers have worked to strengthen the revival portion of our event. Yes, we present one of the best and most diverse performance line-ups ever, but we have also ensured that the artists bring meaning and enlightenment along with their peerless musical excellence.

In addition, we have arranged forums, discussion groups, and training sessions to strengthen our efforts, share our

CLEARWATER FESTIVAL 2019

knowledge, and refocus our activism. We have also invited speakers and educators including several youthful climate activists to show us how to get more deeply involved in the fight to save our planet.

Clearwater is making this year’s celebration a true revival—a return to our roots of activism and advocacy. I urge you to take advantage of these opportunities while still enjoying the fabulous entertainment available. Visit the Activist Area, attend an Activist Training Session, participate in a forum, be part of the Youth Climate Action Panel, and be sure to join Clearwater so that you will be in the loop when together our voices must to be heard.

Each of us needs to adopt a little of the spirit of Pete Seeger if we ever hope to change the world.

—Stephen D. Smith Clearwater Board President

Letter from the

FESTIVAL DIRECTOR MY DEAREST CLEARWATER COMMUNITY,

T

hank you so much for joining us as we celebrate our 42nd Great Hudson River Revival, 50 years since the launching of the sloop, and the 100th birthday of our founder, Pete Seeger.

My first Pete experience was 32 years ago when I was 10 while away at sleepaway camp next door to Pete and Toshi’s home at Surprise Lake Camp. Our counselors took us on a nature hike.. While the we really had no idea where we would end up, I think the counselors knew exactly where they were going. At the end of the trail was Pete’s backyard. Pete walked up to my group of campers, and said “Hey kids, would you like a drink of water?” He got a hose we all drank from, and then sat us down to have a talk. I can’t remember all of the details, but what I do is that he told us about how important it is to keep our environment and our water clean. At the time, I had no idea how monumental this moment would become for me.

Through a series of celestial happenings, I was introduced to Pete’s daughter, Tinya Seeger, through by he grandson Tao Rodriguez-Seeger Tinya then introduced me to Kitama Cahill-Jackson, Pete’s other grandson, with whom I developed a close professional relationship and friendship.

When Pete passed away, Kitama asked me to help produce a festival as a memorial and celebration of his gramps. I quickly said I would do everything I could to help.

Together, despite initially having no idea what we were doing, we, along with an amazing all-star production team, somehow pulled off 7 stellar events throughout 5 days, which was known as “Seeger Fest”.

While producing Seeger Fest, my love and passion for the Seeger legacy only grew. Each project I worked on became influenced by Pete. I wanted to do more for the Seeger legacy. In turn, I joined the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Board of Directors.

I had no idea if I could pull this off. The countries oldest and largest environmental

music festival? Me?. I first dismissed the idea of producing the Festival when it was suggested to me. Then I remembered some advice from a good friend of Pete’s, Bob Reid, who I befriended at Seeger Fest.

Bob told me something that changed my life and I will never forget. He said, “Pete was known for putting projects in folks hands that they themselves didn’t first believe that they can handle. They became successful at these projects. They became better and stronger people for it.”

After taking some time to think about how Bob’s sentiment, related to this opportunity, I spoke with friend and Festival Producer, Ken Hays. I asked Ken if he thought I had the skills to pull off being Festival Director for Clearwater. He said he believed I could do it, and that while I may lack some skills, it was nothing I couldn’t learn along the way. Being that I hold Ken in very high regard, and I couldn’t get Bob’s lesson off my mind, when the position of Festival Director was officially offered to me, I jumped at the opportunity and resigned from the Clearwarter Board so that I could I could enter a contract and begin working on the Festival.

What I lacked in skills, I quickly gained in community and support. While on the board for a short time, it felt like I had joined an entirely new and beautiful community. That community IS Clearwater.

I developed friendships with folks who shared the same aspirations; to carry the torch and save the environment. I heard about the Revival Planning Committee (RPC) and the thousand volunteers who run this festival each year. But, until I was in it and got to know them, did I truly realize the community that I had in them. The RPC work themselves to the bone to make this fest happen. They had all of the answers I needed to fill the gaps of inexperience and knowledge I had. I have the staff at Clearwater, the RPC, the Board, all as my new community. Together as a community we pulled together through some of the toughest times our organization has ever faced. Together, we learned, we created, and we grew.

That is what this festival is about; one giant community coming together to celebrate Mother Earth and sing out for her rights, against social injustices; learning from each other; growing while you lean on your brothers and sisters. It’s about

sharing stories so we better understand each other. It’s about us singing together in one voice to highlight the struggles and victories we have won, as well as the many we are still facing. It’s about carrying the torch Pete and Toshi lit for us, to light the path towards a greater community and planet that’s in harmony and health.

We had 4 months to plan for Revival this year; half the time we usually do. It seemed impossible. Something that was never done before. But Pete’s wisdom carried us through. We can do what we don’t know we have the strength to. We have done it.

We are here. Together.

I want to extend a HUGE thank you to each and every attendee this year. We would be nowhere without you, and YOU truly are what makes Clearwater what it is.

I want to thank my wife, Sheila, and my children, Micah and Gabriel, for putting up with me taking on this new challenge.

Thanks to Bob and Ken for giving me the confidence. Thanks to Mitzi Elkes for giving me the idea. Thanks to Greg Williams, for believing in me and working through all the tough times and all the wonderful moments. Thank you to Steve Smith and the Clearwater Board of Directors for giving me this honor to work hard for our organization. Thank you to those who laid the foundation for which we have built upon. Thank you to the Clearwater staff, Jon Dindas, the RPC, and the nearly 1,000 volunteers, especially Roy Volpe and Sue Gumache for helping to get me up to speed. Thank you to Kris Glover, the Festival Assistant and Linda Richards, the volunteer coordinator. Thank you to the Patron Fish donors, the sponsors, the vendors, and of course, our incredible lineup of artists this year. Thank YOU, our audience for being the many more hands to carry the torch yet another year. Thank you for being a part of helping make my dreams come true, to be the Festival Director of the countries oldest and largest environmental music festival, The Great Hudson River Revival . Thank you to all those that work hard for social and environmental justice; to the activists; to the artists. It is my hope that this festival properly honors each and every one of you.

Keep the flame alive.

—Jason Samel Festival Director and Producer

CLEARWATER FESTIVAL 2019

Dan Budnik

The launching of the Sloop Clearwater in South Bristol, Maine in 1969.

This year, Clearwater celebrates 50 years since the launch our namesake vessel, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Thanks to you, our loyal and generous supporters, Pete Seeger’s legacy lives on through our education programs, advocacy work and special events like the Great Hudson River Revival. We’re dedicating this portion of the program book to highlighting a few of the many achievements that we’ve accomplished together over the past 50 years. We’ve come such a long way. Our Hudson River and planet need each of us now, more than ever, to stand up for policies that protect our waterways.

1966 A hat was passed at an organizational meeting in June and raised $167. The Hudson River Sloop Restoration incorporated in September. The first Hudson Valley Folk Picnic took place that October and raised $1,500 for the organization.

1969-1974 Clearwater’s Landmark work on the Clean Water Act helps to protect American waterways from polluting discharges.

1969 Shortly after the Sloop Clearwater was launched, the crew began to collect signatures on petitions calling for better protection of our waterways.

April 1970 Having collected thousands of signatures, Pete Seeger and the crew of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater helped turn the tide in favor of enacting the 1972 Clean Water Act by sailing the Clearwater to Washington, D.C. and organizing an historic Capitol Hill forum on the need for federal clean water protections.

1970 With support from the New York State Council on the Arts, Clearwater coproduced a number of riverfront concerts from Cold Spring to Kingston with the Hudson Valley Philharmonic. Thousands turned out to hear a program that

Pete Seeger standing on the new deck boards of the sloop.

included Handel, Mozart, Rossini, Bizet and Smetana.

1971 Clearwater begins on-board education program; Clearwater’s first Pumpkin Sail from Rensselaer to NYC. (Although limited, there were education programs onboard in 1970, at least for one or two weeks on Long Island Sound.)

1972 Clearwater offices move from Cold Spring, NY to Poughkeepsie, NY. 1975 Thanks to evidence collected by John Cronin and other People’s Pipewatch volunteers, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York successfully sued the Tuck Tape company of Beacon for violations of the Clean Water Act. It was the first successful prosecution of the Clean Water Act in New York State.

1975 NY Times article about PCBs and General Electric (GE) and the Hudson River.

Clearwater, Hudson River Fisherman’s Association (from which Riverkeeper was founded in 1983), Scenic Hudson and the Natural Resources Defense Council intervene in NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) proceeding to enforce pollution laws against GE. 1975-6 First major restoration of the sloop, prompting the sloop’s captains and crew members to undertake rigorous preventative maintenance measures.

1976 DEC and GE settle a legal proceeding whereby party agrees to pay $3 million towards clean-up plus $1 million from GE for research. The sloop participates in Operation Sail in NY Harbor to celebrate the nation’s bicentennial.

1978 The one-day Hudson Valley Folk Picnic becomes the two-day Clearwater festival, the Great Hudson River Revival in Croton Point Park. The sloop sails to Seabrook, NH to protest the construction of a nuclear power plant there.

1977-1985 Westway Clearwater was instrumental in the defeat of the Westway project that would have buried miles of river habitat under a highway. In March 1977, US EPA Reg II issued an advisory report to the federal highway admin opposing a 200-acre Westway proposal to construct a $1.6 billion interstate highway along the Hudson River waterfront. In 1985, Clearwater joined a lawsuit with Hudson River Fishermen’s Association filed against DEC for their failure to consider landfill impacts on fishery by “de-mapping” the Westway area from state wetlands maps. Ultimately, the proposal was defeated.

1981 The United Nations designates 1981 as the “International Year of Disabled Persons,” and accordingly, the Great Hudson River Revival makes changes to the festival to provide greater access, including sign language interpreters and special audience seating for people in chairs. Also, The Weavers appear on stage for the final time at this event.

1983 Clearwater successfully sues US EPA and Administrator Anne Gorsuch Buford for withdrawing $20 million designated by Congress for clean-up of the Hudson River.

1984 Clearwater institutes on-land education program to help meet the demand of schools.

1987 GE seeks to stop DEC permits in proceeding for the PCB demonstration reclamation/encapsulation project.

1984 Four lawsuits were filed against businesses with permits to discharge wastewater into the Hudson River for violating the terms of the permits, which were not being enforced by NYSDEC. Clearwater was lead plaintiff, with Sierra Club. The cases were successfully settled over the next few years.

has historical significance for Clearwater because Pete and his wife Toshi lived at the University Settlement Camp and raised their children there.

2009 GE finally begins its remediation, which removed more than 2.7 million cubic yards of PCB-contaminated sediment across approximately 500 acres from a 40-mile stretch of hotspots in the Upper Hudson River between Ft. Edward and the Federal Dam in Troy from 2009 through 2015, with a year off in 2010 for peer review evaluation of the efficacy of the dredging project.

Pete Seeger stands on the keel of the Sloop Clearwater.

1990 Clearwater supported the sail of the Odeyak, a half kayak/half canoe vessel sailed by Cree and Inuit people from James Bay to New York City to oppose the proposed massive flooding of their hunting and fishing grounds at James Bay in Quebec province to create a huge hydroelectric dam. Clearwater and the sloop clubs actively provided speaking venues and shore support and collected municipal resolution in opposition to the proposal, which was defeated in 1994.

1992 Clearwater’s International Impact: Neva River Clearwater founded in 1992 in St. Petersburg, Russia visited the Hudson Valley in the fall of 1994 to observe our programs—Neva River Clearwater Foundation throws Spring Festival on the Neva River, educating over 200 children about clean water issues.

1993 HUDSON RIVER ANGLER SURVEY: A report on the adherence to fish consumption health advisories among Hudson River anglers; Bridget Barclay, Clearwater’s Environmental Action Director, Principle Investigator and Author.

This landmark document is considered an important turning point in Hudson River PCB superfund site case, showing the nexus between PCB contamination of Hudson River water and sediment and human health by actively demonstrating that humans were unaware of and/or ignoring health advisories and consuming PCB-containing fish.

1994 the 25th anniversary of the sloop is celebrated at the Great Hudson River Revival. Many former captains and crew members on the maiden voyage attend.

1995 Clearwater’s Environmental Action Program receives an EPA Environmental Quality Award for their work on cleaning up the PCBs contaminating the Hudson River.

1996 Creation of Clearwater website, which receives the Excelsior Best of the Web Award from the Robert F. Kennedy

Democratic Club. (Check us out at clearwater.org!)

1998 Hudson named an “American Heritage River” by President Clinton.

2001 Clearwater convenes a colloquium entitled, “PCB Contamination in the Hudson Valley: A Victimless Crime?” at the SUNY School of Public Health in Rensselaer, NY at which several of the top researchers on PCBs describe their work and recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of PCB toxicity and the health effects on humans. The conference provided incontrovertible evidence that PCBs are highly toxic and carcinogenic.

2001 EPA decides to move forward with the PCB clean up—forcing GE to pay for the cleanup of the toxic waste that it dumped in the river.

2001 Clearwater launches “Young Women at the Helm” empowerment program.

2002 In the wake of 9/11, Clearwater calls for the immediate closing of Indian Point Nuclear power plant.

2002 Pete Seeger was named a “Clean Water Hero” by the Clean Water Network for his prominent efforts in the passage of the Clean Water Act. 2004 Clearwater is added to the National Historic Register for its historical role in “articulating, publicizing, and defining the American environmental movement, as well as for directly fighting in some of the nation’s most important environmental conflicts.”

2006 Major restoration work is underway on Clearwater. Foredeck in process of being replaced, mast and rigging removed by crane and sent to rigger in Maryland for replacement, electrical system upgraded.

2008 Clearwater makes plans to move from the Fite House in Poughkeepsie to 84-Acre University Settlement Camp in Beacon (our current offices). The site

CLEARWATER FESTIVAL 2019

2009 Clearwater launches “Young Men at the Helm” program inspired by the success of “Young Women at the Helm” programs to empower young adults living in river communities. Our LGBTQ+allies program rounds out the Young People at the Helm programs.

May 2009 Madison Square Garden 40th Anniversary commemorates the sloop’s fortieth anniversary and Pete Seeger’s ninetieth birthday. Performers include Bruce Springsteen, Dar Williams and Joan Baez.

2010 As part of Clearwater’s Green Cities program, Clearwater undertakes a groundbreaking Community-Based Environmental Justice Inventory for the City of Peekskill, identifying major sources of pollution, disparate impacts on vulnerable populations and offered a range of suggested solutions.

This was followed in 2012 with a Climate Justice initiative in four Hudson Valley cities to assess potential environmental, economic, public health, and safety impacts of climate change on communities in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Beacon, and Peekskill, each of which have waterfronts vulnerable to sea-level rise along their shorelines.

2015 Clearwater undergoes the 3rd phase of a major hull restoration costing nearly $1 million dollars.

2016 Clearwater files lawsuit against the New York State Public Service Commission, challenges the mandatory 12-year nuclear subsidy that is costing New York ratepayers between $7 and $10 billion dollars, and would be much more wisely invested in renewable energy infrastructure with storage and efficiency.

2018 A settlement agreement is reached

by Riverkeeper, the New York State Attorney General’s Office and Entergy to close the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in 2020-2021. Clearwater refocuses on safe decommissioning, a just transition for workers, and the creation of Citizens’ Oversight Board to ensure effective public input with advice from scientists and other experts.

ACCESSibility at the festival One of the many ways we demonstrate this is by avoiding the use of words such as “handicapped” which is offensive to many people with disabilities. We also say that someone is disabled, or a person with a disability, not “special needs” or “differently abled”. Parking, seating areas and port-a-johns are accessible, not handicapped. Words are powerful, and by choosing this kind of positive language, we hope to affect change in a much broader way.

performances. We keep these areas reserved for all performances.

While enjoying wonderful performers at each of our stages, you will notice the ASL Interpreters on one side of the stage interpreting the spirit and message of the songs, stories, and music. The ASL Interpreters are nationally certified and have specialized expertise in theatrical and performance interpreting.

Accessibility is provided by establishing Access Areas at the front of all the stages, large print, braille, and audio descriptions of stage schedules and the festival map, wheelchairs to borrow free of charge, golf cart rides around the festival site, Access volunteers to assist people with disabilities as well as many other amenities. American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters are also on the main stages and at the Interpreter Booth.

The ASL Interpreter’s booth is located next to Information, and the Access Hospitality Tent is right next door. The interpreters are also open to talking as they wander the festival, but beware – they may be on their way to interpret, so you may have to catch them later or back at the interpreter booth. They come to Revival to provide access to the deaf community, raise awareness and educate the hearing community and to bridge both worlds and cultures.

They even may add something to the performances you see!

elcome to our ACCESSIBLE Festival.

Pete Seeger was a champion for people who are underrepresented and those who struggle with oppression. The deaf community and the disability community are among the most under represented citizens of the country, came forward early in the evolution of the Revival, and Pete and Toshi Seeger made a commitment to provide equal access. Toshi used to say that folk music is music of the people…all people. So the Clearwater Revival created a culturally rich and diverse festival, where music, stories, and activism can be shared and celebrated by all, Clearwater Revival is one of the first and still one of the most accessible outdoor festival venues in the country.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION CLEARWATER’S ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION PROGRAM

Protecting the Hudson River Ecosystem and the well-being of everyone living in its Watershed!

Clearwater’s Commitment to Watershed Protection

One of the very first things Pete Seeger and the original crew did after the sloop Clearwater was launched 50 years ago, was to sail up and down the river collecting thousands signatures calling for legislation that would protect and restore the Hudson and other waterways. They then sailed to Washington, DC to deliver this message to Congress, holding an educational forum and a concert, which were considered to be instrumental in the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972. Clearwater’s Environmental Action program has diligently maintained that tradition ever since. Although we’ve achieved many important victories over the years, the Hudson is always faced with new challenges, which we address by educating community members and decision-makers and by promoting consensus-based solutions, wherever possible—but also by filing legal challenges when necessary.

Last year we helped stop an industry proposal to the US Coast Guard for ten new anchorages, which would have provided docking space for up to 43 vessels filled with highly-explosive crude oil. Fortunately, the Coast Guard suspended all proceedings on this application, and instead created a Hudson River Safety Committee (HRSC) to recommend practices that will ensure safety on our iconic waterway, including at the three existing Hudson River anchorages.

Barely had we taken a sigh of relief when a new challenge arose: the US Army Corps of Engineers’ proposal to build a gated seawall across New York Harbor to protect against severe weather and storm surges.

Endangered River Status

In April of this year, just before Earth Day, American Rivers named the Hudson River among America’s Most Endangered Rivers® of 2019, citing the grave threat that the potential construction of stormsurge barriers could pose to this rich tidal estuary. American Rivers and its partners called on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to consider alternative, nature-based shoreline solutions that can address broader climate-related challenges—both storm surge and sea level rise—without harming the river.

EPA Rolls Back Clean Water Act Protections

To make matter worse, in February of this year the Environmental Protection

12

Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers proposed a new definition of the Waters of the US (WOTUS) that would allow untreated pollution to be discharged into waters across the US without meeting the Clean Water Act’s permitting and treatment standards. Clearwater and our allies are vigourously opposing these proposed changes.

Hudson River PCB Update

Unfortunately we do not have good news on this front. In April, Region 2 Administrator Peter Lopez announced that EPA was issuing a Certificate of Completion to General Electric for the first phase of dredging, capping and habitat restoration in the Upper Hudson. EPA also released its second five-year review of the remediation (two years after it was due) “deferring” a decision about whether the remediation was considered to be protective of human health and the environment—until more data was collected. Immediately Governor Cuomo and Attorney General Letitia A. James announced that NY State intends to sue to challenge these decisions.

PREVENTING AND REMEDIATING CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER: Newburgh Water Supply Contaminated with PFOS.

Clearwater is actively working with the City of Newburgh, the Newburgh Clean Water Project, Riverkeeper and others to ensure the best possible cleanup by the US Department of Defense of the fire-fighting foam, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) from Stewart Air National Guard Base into Newburgh’s drinking water reservoir, Washington Lake. A lot has been promised, but very little accomplished and the contamination persists.

Opposing Wheelabrator’s proposed toxic incinerator ash landfill in an abandoned quarry in Catskill, less

than a mile from the Hudson River. A large coalition formed to prevent this project from moving forward, and to propose safer, more sustainable alternatives. Recently Wheelabrator withdrew its application—an important victory for that community and the environment.

Anticipating the impending closure of Indian Point nuclear reactors in 2020 and 2021, Clearwater has been actively promoting the safest possible decommissioning, a just transition for plant workers, and a rapid transition to a Renewable Energy Economy with Storage and Efficiency. Given its track record of a steam boiler rupture, siren failures, transformer explosions, ongoing leaks of radioactive material, degraded baffleformer bolts and leaky O-rings in both reactors, and numerous other unplanned outages, Indian Point’s closure is an important step to reducing a major threat to the Hudson River. However, with more than 1,750 tons of high-level waste stored on-site in severely overcrowded fuel pools or in vulnerable dry cask storage, much still needs to be done.

For the past two years, we have been working with a coalition of organizations and elected officials to propose an independent, State-funded Citizen Oversight Board to have effective input into the decommissioning process.

Instead, in March of this year, the Town of Cortland and the Village of Buchanan formed a Community Advisory Panel, which will work locally with Entergy—or when Entergy sells their closed plant to Holtec—to receive information on the owner’s plans for decommissioning. We remain hopeful that the NYS Legislature will create a complementary statewide Citizens Oversight Board, with funding for nuclear experts to advise on storage of high-level nuclear waste, and accounting specialists to monitor the use of the $1.85 billion Decommissioning Trust Fund.

2019 Congressional Briefing

On May 14 Clearwater, in coordination with NRDC, NIRS, Beyond Nuclear and others, convened a well-attended Congressional briefing, entitled, Decommissioning: The New Era in the US Nuclear Power Industry, and Congress’s Critical Role in Overseeing It. Given that more than 90 reactors in the US are facing closure, this year’s briefing stressed the national and global transition

from nuclear power generation to the problem of nuclear waste management by unscrupulous companies, such as Holtec and Orano, that call themselves “decommissioning specialists.” They hope to turn this incredible liability into an asset by getting paid handsomely to store high-level nuclear waste, while ignoring the danger of transporting it across the country to their proposed Consolidate Interim Storage facilities in New Mexico and Texas. The briefing helped to educate more than 100 new congressional representatives and their staff, many of whom we met with the following day oneon-one in their offices. Clearwater is also facilitating the National Nuclear Waste Decommissioning Working Group to share information and learn from experts who can advise the many reactors communities across the that will soon face closure.

Clearwater’s Legal Challenge to NY’s Nuclear Subsidy

In November 2016, Clearwater et al filed an Article 78 lawsuit challenging the NY State Public Service Commission mandatory, 12-year, $7.6 billion subsidy to keep aging nuclear plants operating in western NY, which are no longer economically without this bailout. The proceeding, filed

by Clearwater, the Nuclear Information Resource Service (NIRS), Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition (IPSEC) and others against the NYS PSC and nuclear plant owners, Exelon and Entergy, charges that the PSC failed to follow the law by giving $40 million a month in ratepayer dollars to James A. Fitzpatrick, R.E. Ginna, and Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactors, under New York’s so-called Clean Energy Standard. Unless stopped, these plants will continue to generate tons more of highly-radioactive nuclear waste, for which there are no reliable disposal solutions.

After multiple filings and responses, the matter still awaits a decision by NYS Supreme Court in Albany. Donations to support this landmark legal proceeding can be mailed to Clearwater or done electronically on the Clearwater website which will take you to: https://interland3. donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink. aspx?name=clearwater&id=12 (please use pulldown menu for Article 78 Challenge to NY Nuclear Subsidy and we will send to the attorneys at LEAF).

OUTSPOKEN YOUTH LEAD THE WAY BY CALLING FOR URGENT CLIMATE ACTION

B

y now, most of us have heard the call from 16-year old climate activist, Greta Thunberg, whose candid and compelling voice has adults around the world taking notice. Greta has recently been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her outspoken addresses to COP24, parliaments and the World Economic Forum.

Here in the US another brave young climate leader, 13-year old Alexandria Villasenor, has been striking on a bench in front of the United Nations every Friday for six months, even in freezing weather. Alexandria, who will lead a Youth Activism at the Workshop Stage at 12 noon on Saturday, helped organize the international March 15 climate strike here in New York and beyond. When asked why she is striking and working so hard to abate the global climate crisis, she cites personal experience: “I used to live in California, and this past year I was visiting family there when the Paradise Fire broke out. That was very scary for me because I have asthma. Smoke was seeping into my house. People were rolling up wet towels and putting them under doors, and making DIY air filters because all the air filters were sold out. A lot of schools canceled classes.

My family had to fly me back to New York early.” After that first-hand glimpse of these severe manifestations of climate change, she heeded Greta Thunberg’s call and joined the international youth climate action movement, noting that young people “are going to be the ones living through this crisis. They’re basically throwing away our future. We don’t have much time to get off of the course that we’re on.”

Clearwater honors Greta, Alexandria and so many other youth activists and climate strikers for their courage, commitment and dedication to waking people up about the severity and urgency of the global climate crisis and for urging the end of fossil fuel use and promoting the vast array of other climate solutions.

An Important Caveat about Climate Solutions

Given the multiple catastrophic hurricanes, forest fires and other catastrophes we have witnessed in the past few years, it is clear that we must not only act to mitigate climate change, but also to find and implement a portfolio of solutions to reverse this trajectory and restore balance to the Earth. This must be our legacy to future generations. Paul Hawken’s www. drawdown.org has brought together hundreds of scientists to assess the 100 most promising climate solutions in the areas of energy, transportation, buildings, cities, agriculture, forestry and more—to reduce greenhouse gases and sequester carbon safely and naturally. The sooner we start to implement these solutions, the more successful we can be. However, Dr. Michael Mann, who helped author the IPCC reports, states emphatically that we must first stop drilling, fracking and burning fossil fuel, then the other actions will have a chance of being effective.

However, if we don’t significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, carbon sequestration and other climate solution strategies can’t work on their own.

he Clearwater Festival serves thousands of people, including audience, volunteers, staff and artists. From its very beginning over 40 years ago, our Festival has taken responsibility for the materials discarded during the event. We ask that you help us work toward Zero Waste

by Refusing what you don’t need, Reusing when possible, and Recycling at our Zero Waste sorting stations located around the site. To make it easier, food vendors will be offering products on compostable serviceware. If you have questions, please ask one of our helpful Zero Waste volunteers!

Excessive contamination in recycling streams and other issues have caused a crisis in the global recycling industry, leading to some recycling programs being cut back or cancelled and has generated media coverage. We are fortunate our recycling processors, with citizens’ help, have streams clean enough to be rated very high quality on the recycling market, maintaining the financial viability of their programs.

If your area’s program is at risk, learn what the issues are and help find workable solutions.

Questions?

Our festival Zero Waste committee has trained volunteers to help you decide where your materials can be deposited. Please ask them to help you sort compostables and recyclables. They are present at each sorting station in the food court and at various locations around the Festival grounds.

It features the Hudson Valley, the golden river, and the Sloop Clearwater parting its waters. All the banner and backdrop installations at the festival, it also had to inspire us and reflect our mission. Recalling Pete’s song Of Time and Rivers Flowing, we called the Seegers to ask for permission to use the last lines “and we, who would join in, can stand aside no longer, now let us all begin.” Pete consented, but with one condition: “just don’t put my name on it.” Most of the song’s lines were painted on the 5 panels, but we saved a the last few words for the entrance banner above the final gate…“now let us all begin.”

BABY CARE CABANA Hosted by the Hudson Vally Birth Network, the Baby Cabana is a welcoming place for parents to feed and change their babies. The tent provides a quiet shelter away from the crowds and the weather. Chairs and changing table with supplies and provided. All weekend. Across from the Story Grove, near Activist Area.

TOSHI & PETE’s GROVE This special oasis offers a glimpse of who the Seegers personally were and their impact on the environmental movement and to the human and civil rights movements for the past 70 years. Visit this contemplative and reflective oasis, (near the Activist Area) to reaffirm and appreciate who these two remarkable people and what they’ve meant to so many individuals and to our world.

“Keep close to Nature’s Heart…and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wipe your spirit clean.”

ACTIVIST

AREA The Activist Area has prided itself in reaching out to not-for-profit community groups that courageously work at protecting our environment, making it more sustainable and correcting the social justice and human rights issues that impact the wellbeing of all citizens.

We have continued this quest based on the beliefs and work that our “parents”, Toshi and Pete Seeger based their entire life’s work on. Their approach to creating change has always been based on collaboration and partnership. They have always selflessly supported local, national, and international movements at making our world a better place to live. Of all times, this is the year for us to embrace their legacy by celebrating Pete’s 100 birthday and the 50th birthday of the Sloop. Let us never lose sight of the work that needs to be done. We all have a stake in this cause for the world, for ourselves and for our children.

We have seldom had the opportunity to join with our local government for initiatives that support much of what Clearwater has been about from the beginning. As Pete said, “Participation, that’s what’s going to change the human race.” Given what Westchester County government has done to support this year’s festival and the ongoing work of Clearwater, we need to embrace this participation with partnership. We need to support all state-wide environmental and sustainability initiatives that mirror what we at Clearwater have been working to achieve, and commend Westchester County for their electric car incentives, geo-thermal initiatives, solar initiatives, and zero-waste initiatives.

We also should support and encourage aggressive adherence to all Human Rights Laws. We are thankful to George Latimer and his staff for this positive movement.

Let us never lose sight of the ongoing work that needs to be done. We all need to get more involved and be committed to all that Toshi and Pete advocated for. The world, our community and our children depend on our eternal vigilance.

In Peace and Solidarity, Roy Volpe & Sue Gamache Revival Activist Area Co-coordinators

Children’s Area Clearwater’s Children’s Play Area is a space for kids (and adults) of all ages to play, create, and have fun!

Play! Enjoy hula hoops, frisbees, jump rope, or play a game of catch.

Children’s Area toys are there to share! Use a rainbow of wands to create amazing bubbles shapes and sizes in the bubble pool.

Create! Use the power of the sun and create your very own solar lantern. Leave your mark in the guest book and find your contribution from the past. Doodle on a GIANT chalkboard. Contribute to one of the awesome collaborative art projects.

And More! Navigate the ropes of the mind maze with a blindfold.

Indulge your senses and explore natural artifacts from our beautiful Hudson River. Express yourself with face painting and hair wrapping.

PLEASE STAY AND PLAY WITH YOUR CHILDREN! Children under 8 should always have an adult nearby!

Sienna Wildfield

For the health and safety of the next generation of Clearwater, we ask that you refrain from smoking in the Children’s Area.

“Watch the kids. Do like they do.

Act like they act. Yell like they yell. Dance the ways you see them dance. Sing like they sing.

Work and rest the way the kids do. You’ll be healthier. You’ll talk wiser. You’ll go higher, do better, and live longer here amongst us if you’ll just only jump in here and swim around in these kids sOngs and do like the kids do. I don’t want the kids to be grownup. I want to see the grown folks be kids.”

—Woody Guthrie

audience camping

H

Kids get to go on a scavenger hunt through the campsite, searching for things like “something orange” or “a shiny rock”. They get to exchange the wooden “needles” they found in the haystack for cool prizes. Young performers are encouraged to prepare a song or magic trick, a poem or a joke to perform in the pavilion.

Then, everyone gets to enjoy s’mores and all of that is before we get to the best part. We have a very talented group of musicians and vocalists who invite everyone to bring their favorite instrument or their “I only sing in the shower” voice and join in for an all-inclusive sing-along that lasts well into the night. (Not to worry, we also have a quieter section for people who actually believe in sleeping.) Up all night or quiet as a…, well quieter, anyway.

You only live once! Come enjoy the full festival experience and make memories that will last a lifetime! We have a few simple guidelines to insure that everyone has a great time.

Most important: TAKE ONLY MEMORIES AND LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS! Check-in time is Friday between 3pm and 8pm or Saturday morning between 8am and noon. Please note that the Audience Camping access road will be closed between 8pm Friday and 8am Saturday. Audience Camping Staff will be on hand to check in later Saturday afternoon arrivals. Campers must be out of camping area by 10am on Monday.

The check-in location is at the top of the hill, after a hairpin turn at the intersection where the park office and entrance booth reside. Look for a pop-up tent with check-in staff. Please bring your cell phone

ello Happy Campers!

Those of you who have camped with us before know how much fun we have after the festival is over each night. For those of you who will be joining our merry event for the first time, please allow us to give you a tiny peek into what we do.

confirmation or print-at-home ticket to the Audience Camping Check-in, located at the top of the hill, to exchange for wristbands and a free parking pass.

The parking pass must be filled out clearly with your name and cell number and placed on your windshield. This is so that we can contact you should your car need to be moved. If we cannot read it, or you do not answer your phone and your car needs to be moved, it will be towed to the train station parking lot. Please cooperate, so that we can all have a great time.

After checking in, you will be able to unload at an entrance near your campsite to unload your camping supplies. After unloading, please park your car in designated parking area.

At no time may cars be on the grass.

If you are a camper with a pop-up trailer this requires purchasing an RV pass. Please see below for details about RV parking reservations. Pop-up trailers and RV’s are not allowed to park/camp in the Audience Camping area or parking lot.

AUDIENCE CAMPING is a TENT camping area only.

There are bathrooms and potable running water at the location.

There are showers in AUDIENCE CAMPING. Hair dryers and curling irons are NOT allowed. We have a limited amount of electricity available to charge a phone, but we know from experience that a hair dryer will blow the circuit every time, resulting in having zero electricity for the remainder of our camping experience.

The camping area is in an elevated area within the grounds of Croton Point Park. The camping area is approximately a 10 minute walk from the main festival gate.

Transportation assistance is available if needed. Also, if you are arriving by bus or train with your gear, transportation to the campsite is available at no cost. Just another way of making you feel welcome!

No open fires are permitted in the AUDIENCE CAMPING area. Camp stoves are permitted.

Festival ticket policy is Children Ages 11 and under are free with a paid adult on the festival grounds and in the AUDIENCE CAMPING area. Everyone including children ages 11 and under must wear a wristband at all times.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding audience camping, please write “CLEARWATER” in the subject line, and email Deb and Debbie at DKNY101@gmail.com.

Sloop Clubs

T

he Sloop Club Congress is comprised of local sloop clubs formed by Clearwater members in support of Clearwater’s mission.

Each sloop club has its own unique character and hosts member activities in support of the larger organization. Join your local sloop club today for fun and camaraderie and support Clearwater.

Early Sloop Club Congress meetings were meetings called by Pete Seeger inviting local Clearwater associations to a potluck informational gathering. People met along the Hudson River, New York Harbor, Long Island Sound and New Jersey. Wherever he went, he encouraged others to action. He reported on projects and listened to reports from the sloop clubs and whoever else showed up. Some sloop clubs chartered with Clearwater, others were completely independent. At the Great Hudson River Revival and the Clearwater Annual Meeting he brought us together. We continue to meet at the festival on Sunday morning at the Sloop Club tent and at the Annual Meeting.

To find out more about Clearwater’s sloop clubs, contact a group in your area and visit the sloop club tents at the Great Hudson River Revival. Join the group! All are welcome to participate. Please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ cwscc/ to join the conversation.

NOTE: If you have memorabilia/history about Clearwater, Sloop Clubs or Hudson River Sloop Singers that you wish to share, contact Vincent Cerniglia or Maryellen Healy, Sloop Club Congress archivists at melhealy@yahoo.com or (845) 7445483.

Sloop Woody Guthrie, June - October. For reservations or to join a crew, call (845) 527-8671. The Beacon Sloop Club also works with Clearwater, Fishkill Ridge Caretakers, Scenic Hudson, Rivers and Estuaries, and other environmental groups in the region to preserve and protect the river and local environs through education, celebration and advocacy.

Our newsletter is “Environmental Quest”.

We work as committees, and the full club meets when needed at NYU or Flatbush Tompkins Church.

We meet almost every month for a potluck dinner and special event, such as an educational environmental talk or film discussion, usually at the Croton Point Park Nature Center. We also meet for other seasonal activities like hikes and canoe trips at various places.

Clearwater Revival or an Earth Day or other celebratory event—or at our Coffeehouse. But the fact is that when Pete Seeger founded Walkabout, and throughout the thirty years he was with us, he stipulated that our mission was one of social and political activism. We were to carry the message of environmental justice, peace and equality through our music—just as Pete himself had done unstintingly for three-quarters of a century.

This, then, is what makes Walkabout not just a chorus, not only a singing group (there are plenty of those), but a group that is first and foremost activist in the tradition of our founder. It is with this in mind that we have participated in marches, rallies, and street protests both large and small, local and far away. We have appeared, officially and unofficially, at events protesting nuclear arms and power, the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, in support of women’s rights, the Black Lives Matter movement, immigrant rights, the Peoples’ Climate March, and more. In addition, we perform regularly in schools throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

Today, in these extremely dangerous times, when our democracy is under relentless and devastating attack, we devote ourselves to supporting the ideals of our founder: true democracy—equal rights and justice for all; a healthy, livable environment; an end to economic and political exploitation; and a world at peace.

Therefore, in order to faithfully fulfill our mission and honor Pete’s legacy, it is expected that Walkabout members will participate whenever they can, not only in our stage performances, but in our activist events as well. As Pete wrote, “If only music could bring peace, I’d only be a musician.”

If you’d like to join the Walkabout Clearwater Chorus, rehearsals are on the first Thursday of every month at the South Presbyterian Church, 343 Broadway in Dobbs Ferry NY, at 6:30 PM. There is no audition and everyone is welcome.

Our mission is to educate citizens about watershed ecology and the availability of the Hudson River as a natural and recreational resource. We are concerned with the preservation and protection of Hudson River and its tributaries, including the Mohawk River. We serve the Capital District to Kingston, east to Massachusetts, west to the Utica region, and the territory south of the Canadian border to Albany.

The Hudson River doesn’t just start at the Federal Dam in Troy, so we seek to educate downriver “Clearwater-ites” about the northern watershed catchment area, too.
