LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Clearwater Community,

elcome to Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival for 2012! This is a year of celebration—Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday, Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s 50th anniversary and Walkabout Clearwater Chorus’ 25th anniversary. We’ll be honoring Woody throughout the festival. Vanaver Caravan will perform Pastures of Plenty both days on the Dance Stage. Bob Sherman from WFUV Radio will host “Woody’s Children” featuring Tom Paxton, Tom Chapin and Guy Davis on Saturday. Arlo Guthrie & The Guthrie Family perform on Saturday as well. Make sure to stop by the Woody Guthrie Museum Tent on Sponsor Row (see map for location). We have a number of new and expanded features this year. The Musical Petting Zoo will be located right next to our Jam Tent. From accordian to zither, The ‘Zoo is a fully interactive, hands-on exhibit for musicians, young and old, novice to professional.

The Artisanal Food & Farm Market features twice as many vendors as last year and showcases local farmers and small-scale food processors based in the Hudson Valley and the surrounding regions. There will also be demonstrations and farm songs throughout both days. Last year, and for the first time, we expanded our Zero Waste program to include the entire festival grounds. This year, we are continuing and fine tuning this effort including finding a closer facility to manage compost generated during the festival. Also down by the sloop Clearwater we have a new covered barge nicknamed the Pennsylvia Railroad Barge 399 (Pennsy 399 to its friends). The Pennsy 399 originally moved cargo and has since

become a floating town hall for ideas to revitalize Hudson River communities. In addition to the amazing lineup of performers on the main music stages there are several other areas that offer memorable and unique experiences. These include the Family Stage, Circle of Song, Story Grove, Arm-of-the-Sea Theater and Working Waterfront. Make sure to visit the juried Crafts Area, the Green Living Expo, the Activist Area, the Discovery and Tideline Education Tents, the Environmental Action Tent and the Marketplace as well. Thanks to Will Solomon, Assistant Festival Director, Linda Richards, Volunteer Coordinator, the 900+ volunteers, the 80+ member Revival Planning Committee (RPC) and the Clearwater staff for all of their work on this year’s festival. Thank you for supporting Clearwater and Revival. I hope you have a great weekend and Happy Father’s Day! —Steve Lurie, Festival Director

VOLUNTEER!

ear after year, Clearwater’s growing family of volunteers bring hard work, new ideas, positive energy, and boundless enthusiasm to the Clearwater legacy. In the 1960s, volunteers “passed the hat” and raised money to build the sloop Clearwater at Hudson Valley Folk Picnics. Four decades later, the folk picnic has evolved into a tradition of active, ongoing volunteer participation. The sloop Clearwater in all her glory is one part of Clearwater’s legacy. Thousands of volunteers helped raise the money to build the boat and thousands more contribute time, energy, resources, and skills to keep her on the water every year. Each returning volunteer and every new member of our community is welcome to lend a hand! One of the images you will see this weekend is over 900 volunteers working side-by-side on our annual music and environmental festival. In addition to volunteering at our festival, Clearwater presents the following opportunities to become involved throughout the year: 4

EDUCATION

A SAILING CLASSROOM FIGHTS “NATURE DEFICIT DISORDER”

oted author Richard Louv described in his book Last Child in the Woods something he called “nature deficit disorder,” where he outlined how today’s children are missing out on meaningful interactions with the natural world. This kind of disconnect with nature does not lend itself to building the next wave of environmental problem-solvers. Louv goes on to make the argument that with the saturation of electronic devices and social media, interactions with computer screens and virtual worlds must be balanced with real experiences in nature if we want our next generation of kids to be healthy, active, and engaged. There’s no turning back from technology, but it’s important to balance those many hours spent in front of an electronic screen with quality time outside. A classroom trip on the Clearwater is much more than a fun outing. The sail experience can have an impact that lasts far beyond the three hours onboard the boat. The program activities are linked to New York State learning standards and make students part of the program by raising the giant mainsail, catching and identifying Hudson River life, steering the big sloop with an 11-foot tiller, and testing the water for signs of pollution. Clearwater’s new “Streams” option includes visits into the classroom before and/

or after the sail. The sloop is also part of the “HRECOS” water quality monitoring network, which means that after the trip, teachers can track the boat with their students on a Google map and use the water quality data that was recorded while they were onboard in online lesson plans. This is a perfect example of using technology to extend the impact of a field experience, not to replace it. I think Richard Louv would approve! Breaking the classroom barrier and giving kids meaningful experiences in nature enhances

overall enthusiasm for learning. It makes abstract concepts concrete and caters to the many learning styles that can be found in a typical classroom. The bottom line: field trips can help make students better, more enthusiastic learners. Clearwater combines the thrill of sailing a traditional tall ship with hands-on ecology, history, and music. It’s been a winning combination for over 40 years. It also is the starting point for our “pipeline” of leadership. As students get older, there are more and more ways for them to engage with Clearwater through youth empowerment programs, Camp Clearwater, internships, and volunteer opportunities. A visit to the Clearwater Discovery and Tideline tents at the festival will give you a glimpse of the kind of educational activities that kids experience onboard the boat. If you know of a school, camp, scout, or other group who would like to have the experience of a lifetime, you can likely find me at the Discovery Tent. Or send me an email after the festival. Just remember: a sail on the Clearwater is a great remedy for nature deficit disorder! —Dave Conover, Education Director dave@clearwater.org 2012 CLEARWATER FESTIVAL

GREEN CITIES

“IN FULL SWING!” CLEARWATER’S GREEN CITIES INITIATIVE

he postindustrial cities of the Hudson River Valley have been subject to decreasing job opportunities, the abandonment of riverfront industrial properties, increases in pollution, and a significant reduction in community sense of place. In response to the need for community revitalization, Clearwater’s Green Cities Initiative is helping to build healthier, sustainable Hudson River cities. We are currently working on the ground in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Newburgh, and Peekskill on projects that will improve the environmental health and economic vitality of these river cities. Green Cities projects and programs bring together community stakeholders and municipalities to address watershed protection, stormwater management, waterfront revitalization, pollution, environmental and climate justice, and green job creation. The initiative seeks to incorporate principles of sustainability into all phases of municipal planning and community development and to educate and empower stakeholders to take on the most pressing environmental issues affecting their community. The end goal is a healthier, greener, and more equitable Hudson Valley. By giving Hudson Valley residents the tools they need to protect, conserve, and improve their urban environment, Clearwater is helping to put the “ECO” back into the local economy. Through our green infrastructure and ecological revitalization efforts, we are laying a foundation 6

clearwater festival 2 0 1 2

for future green jobs, green energy production, and a stronger green economy. The Green Cities Initiative is a unifying theme for the diverse programs in which Clearwater is currently engaged and a guiding principle for expanded work to help promote a more sustainable future. Current programs related to the Green Cities Initiative include: Watershed protection in Kingston’s Rondout Creek and Poughkeepsie’s Fall Kill Creek. These projects have been funded by NYS DEC Hudson River Estuary Program, NEIWPCC, NYS Department of State, and the EPA Urban Waters Small Grant Program. Green infrastructure planning in Kingston, Poughkeepsie/Hyde Park, and Beacon/Fishkill, in partnership and funded by Hudson Valley Regional Council. Intercollegiate Internships provide the opportunity for a dynamic intercollegiate group project that includes students from diverse disciplines to address pressing environmental research questions. Environmental Justice work in Peekskill funded by NYS DEC Office of Environmental Justice.

Climate Justice work in Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Beacon, and Peekskill to promote climate justice awareness, mitigation, planning, preparation, and adaptation in urban areas in the region. Young Women/Young Men at the Helm, an innovative program that provides leadership training and empowerment to inner city youth ages 15 - 19 aboard the sloop Clearwater. Camp Clearwater, an adventure-based leadership program with scholarships for innercity youth, ages 13 -15, which develops selfconfidence, survival skills, and respect for the natural world. Green Energy/Green Jobs platform The Green Cities Initiative is working on developing “on the ground” education programs and projects that further promote Green Jobs training, and Carbon/Energy Reduction Programs in our target communities. This can also provide opportunities for underserved and at-risk youth to identify, prepare for, and assume green jobs in an emerging green economy. Come by the Green Cities/Environmental Action Tent, located across from the main festival Communications tent, to learn more about our programs.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION

HUDSON RIVER PCB UPDATE: DREDGING RESUMES WITH GOOD SUCCESS

fter decades of debate, in 2002 the Environmental Protection Agency issued a Record of Decision requiring General Electric to clean up polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated sediment from a 40-mile stretch in the Upper Hudson River. A seven-year remedial design period ensued before the cleanup actually began in May 2009. Phase 1 was then followed by a year of peer review and evaluation in 2010. GE resumed Phase 2 dredging in June 2011, focusing work in the vicinity of Ft. Edward, with brief delays in late spring due to an unusually large snowmelt that caused severe flooding as well as Hurricanes Irene and Lee later in the season. The 2011 dredging season went very smoothly, with 363,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment removed with only minimal capping needed.

Natural Resource Damage Trustees call for additional dredging and better habitat restoration. In addition to the actual cleanup that EPA has required GE to undertake, under Superfund, a group of agencies, known as the Natural Resource Damage (NRD) Trustees, is charged with protecting and restoring injured natural resources, including any lost use. The Trustees, which include US Fish & Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, have been assessing the damages that have occurred to natural resources caused by the PCB contamination. Sampling indicates that PCB contamination is much greater than originally predicted, and the Federal Trustees have expressed concerns that approximately 136 acres outside of the planned dredging areas contain PCBs in surface sediment exceeding the 10 ppm Tri+ PCB standard. 130 of these acres are within 200 feet of the proposed dredging areas and could be easily dredged. If left unremediated, this PCB contamination may compromise the cleanup and prolong recovery for Hudson River fish and other aquatic organisms.

The Trustees have also raised concerns about the adequacy of habitat restoration. Since GE did not follow EPA’s specifications during the first year of planting, several species of aquatic vegetation had to be replanted. Trustees feel that greater diversity should be restored and, in particular, that disturbed freshwater mussel beds should be actively re-established. Navigational Dredging: Finally, Clearwater, as well as most of the members of the project’s Community Advisory Group, also support the NYS Canal Corporation’s request that navigational dredging to restore full use of the Upper Hudson by large commercial vessels be performed as part of the present cleanup. Dredging these areas will be much more difficult and costly to the public if this work is left until after the remediation has been completed. A five-year review, now underway, may create an opportunity to address these remaining concerns and assure the worldclass cleanup the Hudson River deserves. Let’s do it once and do it right! For further information please contact: Manna Jo Greene, Environmental Director at (845) 265-8080 x 7113 or mannajo@clearwater.org.

Clearwater opposes Hydrofracking in NY and an unnecessary Desalination Plant in Haverstraw Bay, while taking a leadership role in transitioning to a Green Energy Economy in the Hudson Valley: It’s been a busy year in Clearwater’s Environmental Action Program. In addition to our intensified 2012 Close Indian Point Campaign and our ongoing work to assure the most rigorous and effective Hudson River PCB cleanup possible, in January we submitted comprehensive comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking. Clearwater strongly opposes its expansion into the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits in New York. In March we submitted public comment opposing the construction of the United Water NY/Suez proposed 10 million-gallon-a-day desalination plant, which would have a devastating impact on the uniquely sensitive and productive aquatic habitat in and around Haverstraw Bay. It would also set a very bad precedent regarding the use of this expensive and highly energy-intensive treatment process in a water-rich area at the expense of Rockland County ratepayers, who each would bear the high capital and operating costs approaching $500/year, while United Water profits from selling more of Rockland’s reservoir water to New Jersey. Transitioning to a Green Energy Economy: At Clearwater, environmental action isn’t only about what we’re against, but also about what we’re for: assuring a truly sustainable future. We are actively working as part of the Sustainable Energy Working Group of the NYSERDA Cleaner, Greener Communities sustainability planning process. If any area in New York is poised to rapidly transition to a Green Energy Economy, the Hudson Valley is! Get Involved: Environmental Action volunteers are always needed to help with these and other important Hudson River issues.

CAN WE REALLY DO WITHOUT INDIAN POINT?

t’s been a year since the earthquake and tsunami that resulted in multiple meltdowns and massive releases of radioactivity from the Fukushima-Daiichi plant in Japan. A 12-mile exclusion zone remains today. Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant is located only 25 miles north of Manhattan with more than 20 million people living or working within 50 miles of it. A large radioactive release at the plant could have devastating health and economic consequences for the region and render the Hudson Valley and NYC uninhabitable. Indian Point is NOT “Safe, Secure or Vital” Designed to operate for 40 years, licensing for Indian Point Units 2 and 3 is due to expire in 2013 and 2015 respectively. Even though these reactors push the margins of safety due to agerelated degradation, Entergy has requested a license extension to operate for an additional 20 years. While Indian Point can provide up to 2,000 megawatts of power and employs approximately 1,200 workers, here at the end of its 40-year life span it has a poor track record of: • a major steam boiler rupture, • multiple transformer explosions and failures, • numerous siren failures, • clogged cooling water intakes, and • planned and unplanned releases and ongoing leaks of radioactive material into the environment.

Could an Earthquake Happen at Indian Point? Given that these aging reactors are located at the intersection of two earthquake faults, as reported in 2008 by Columbia University’s LamontDoherty Earth Institute, and that extremely radioactive “spent” fuel rods are stored on-site in unprotected pools and above-ground dry cask storage silos, the dangers this plant poses could be catastrophic.

Evacuation Impossible Former FEMA Director James Lee Witt’s 2003 report on emergency preparedness at Indian Point concluded that the existing evacuation plan was inadequate to protect the public from radiological exposure, yet nothing has been done in the last decade to address these deficiencies. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recommended a 50-mile evacuation zone surrounding Fukushima—not 10, as is the current plan for Indian Point. Gridlock would occur throughout the region within minutes after an announcement of a severe accident at Indian Point. Evacuation would be virtually impossible. Many of our region’s first responders, who would implement an emergency evacuation, agree with these concerns.

Replacement Power is Plentiful If Indian Point were shut down tomorrow, there is enough electricity available to power New York City and the Hudson Valley. In fact, Indian Point Unit-2 was closed for 11 months in 2001 without any loss of power or increase in cost. The plant frequently closes for maintenance, fuel replacement, and unplanned outages. Today all of Japan’s 54 nuclear reactors that had produced 30% of the country’s electricity are now shut down, and life goes on without them. The are plenty of cleaner replacement energy alternatives to support the transition to a greener

energy economy here in the Hudson Valley—one based on energy efficiency, demand response, and renewables. This conversion will create jobs, promote a sustainable future, and assure public health and safety—without utilizing nuclear power or increasing fossil fuel consumption. Germany is well on its way to doing this, and we can, and should, follow their lead.

What Can You Do? • Stop by Clearwater’s Indian Point Campaign Tent here at Festival, located in the Activist Area and learn more about the issue. • Sign our petition calling for a more realistic evacuation plan for Indian Point; then sign our petition to close it entirely. • Take a copy of our Health and Safety Resolution to your city, town, village, or county to adopt. Share it with your community group, place of worship, or other organizations and get them to sign on. • Contact your representatives in Albany and ask them to support NYS Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera’s call for hearings on emergency preparedness around Indian Point and improvements to evacuation planning in our region. • Donate whatever you can to support Clearwater’s intervention in the Indian Point relicensing process, to assure that environmental justice concerns for low-income, transportation-dependent or institutionalized populations are adequately addressed.

e in the Activist Area wish to dedicate the fruits of our labors in working for positive change in the world to the memory and accomplishments of Woody Guthrie on this, the 100th anniversary of his birth. His “This Land is Your Land” has given all activists the impetus to proclaim that This Land is Our Land. Individuals like Woody and his friend Pete Seeger have always walked the walk and are responsible for the countless activists over the years that have become part of the solution. They were both instrumental at utilizing folk music as a vehicle for social awareness and change. We are thankful for this gift. Woody wrote 33 New Year’s Eve resolutions in 1942. His last resolution was “Wake up and fight.” We believe that the world is a far better place because a minority of people have woken up, become activists, and fought to move humanity toward a better world. Look at those working for a nuclear free world, for human rights, for peace, for an end to racism and prejudice. Everyone benefits. We can thank role models like Woody and Pete for showing us how to walk the walk. Those who are committed and involved in activist causes must be vigilant and advocate for a better world, speaking out when others speak from ignorance, fear, and selfishness. We’re sure that Woody would have been thrilled to see the scope of the activists who are with us at this festival. Please stop by the Activist Area information booth and say “Woody sent me.” Let’s talk about being part of the solution.

e all know that Pete Seeger is a champion for people who are underrepresented and those who struggle with oppression. The disability community, among the most underrepresented citizens of the country, came forward early in the evolution of this festival, and Pete and Toshi made a commitment to provide equal access. As a result, the Clearwater festival is one of the first and still one of the most accessible outdoor festival venues in the country. From a practical standpoint, this accessibility is provided by establishing Access Areas at the front of all the stages, ASL Interpreters on the main stages, large print and Braille programs and maps, 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. We also pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, non-judgmental, positive attitude around all kinds of disabilities. For instance, in this entire article, except for this explanation, you won’t see the “H” word...handicapped. The word handicapped is generally believed to have originated before the start of social support programs when the disabled had to sit on the corner begging, with their cap in hand (hand-in-cap...). In addition, we talk about parking, seating areas and port-a-johns as being accessible, not as “handicapped”. The parking and port-a-johns aren’t disabled or “handicapped”, but they are accessible. Words are powerful and by choosing this kind of positive language, we hope to affect change in a much broader way. So, this is why there are large open areas in front of the stages that may seem unused during some performances. By providing this space at the front of the stages, people with disabilities and their families are welcome and don’t have to try and move around the patchwork of blankets and chairs in the audience area. Also, unlike able-bodied people, people with disabilities often cannot easily move their bodies to get a better view of the performer. We keep these areas clear and open, even when there doesn’t seem to be a great need, because it’s much easier for everyone to have the space established rather than asking able-bodied audience members to move later in the day. Clearwater loves and celebrates cultural diversity. One of the cultures celebrated here in the midst of song and sunshine is the Deaf Culture and its community. While enjoying the high quality performances you will encounter at each of our stages, take a moment to notice the American Sign Language Interpreters (ASL) positioned on stage to insure that all of our Clearwater family can enjoy the celebration equally. The ASL Interpreters at our festival are nationally certified and experienced with expertise in theatrical and performance interpreting. They have all come together to find a way to provide access in a way that furthers the festivals’ goals of inclusion and environmental education/ activism. The ASL Interpreter’s booth is located next to Information, and the Access Hospitality Tent is right next door. Come on by, ask questions, learn, get inspired. Please feel free to talk to the interpreters about our work at the festival and in general at our booth. We are also open to talking as we wander the festival, but beware—we may be on our way to interpret, so you may have to walk along with us rather than stopping us to chat. We hope to serve as access for the Deaf, educational awareness for the hearing, a bridge to other cultures and maybe even a bit of an enhancement to the performances! However you come across us, please don’t be shy we love to talk in voice as well as with our hands! Thank you for respecting these spaces and welcome to our accessible Festival!

efore trains chugged and smoked up and down the tracks along the Hudson River; before 18-wheelers barreled down the Northway; before planes flew into J.F.K. and La Guardia, before steam ships and tugboats were burning their coal and diesel on the river… Before all of those came to be, there were cargo sloops tacking and gybing with or against the tide on the Hudson River- and there were hundreds of them. These were large enough wooden vessels to sail around the world, but they were modeled after Dutch plans and envisioned for the Hudson River. Designed with Storm King, Dunderberg Mountain, the Palisades, World’s End, Crum Elbow, the Maelstrom, Inbocht Bay, the Middle Ground Flats, the Schodack Island, and the rest of the Hudson River’s nuisances in mind, they were built here in the Hudson Valley to haul Hudson River cargo for the Hudson Valley’s people. These were sailboats with one single strong mast reaching to the sky, tall enough to reach above the Palisades and the Catskills, or at least to catch the wind up there. They had booms longer than their waterlines. They had jib sails larger than most mainsails and mainsails large enough to block the sun. These were not just any sloops: these were Hudson River Sloops. It became evident many years later, a little more than 45 years ago, that some of the residents of the Hudson River Valley had forgotten why artists from around the world had come to paint the landscape here. It became apparent that the river was not being treated as the beautiful and majestic estuary that it was. It became obvious that the Arm-of-the-Sea was seen as a rotting limb to be cut off from society. And when it became clear that the Hudson River was not clear any longer, a group of caring, mindful, and decent people decided that one of these glorious Hudson River 26

clearwater festival 2 0 1 2

Sloops would be the way to once again manifest the magic of the Hudson Valley. These enchanted Hudson River Sloops that sailed off into memories were just the thing to make people remember. As a result of 43 years of sailing, over 500,000 people have moved across Clearwater’s decks. Far from being an historical remnant, Clearwater remains a dynamic and vital part of the Hudson River and its people. Almost every day during our sailing season, we welcome new students aboard and turn the Hudson River into their classroom, using the tides and currents, the fish and plankton, and the

deck of our ship to get them excited about ecology, stewardship, chemistry, physics, and even math. These students—many of whom have never been on a boat before- help us cast our net and retrieve it, work together to raise our 3000 lb mainsail, test the water for characteristics like salinity and pH, and, of course, get to grasp the tiller and steer the boat. As these students grow, they are provided with many more opportunities to deepen their relationship with the river and its rich maritime history: from participating in a 3 or 4-day long Youth Empowerment program, to volunteering onboard for a week, to becoming a member of the crew for 1-3 months as a sailing apprentice, Clearwater provides a tangible way for the youth of the Hudson River to participate in the legacy of their own history. This festival weekend, be sure to stop by the Working Waterfront on the North Field to visit the sloop Clearwater. And check our schedule to see when we’ll be visiting a port near you. The Captains and crew of Clearwater look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Clearwater and Hudson River Maritime Museum Form Alliance to Build Kingston Home Port Exciting news on the Hudson River: the longdreamed-of home port for the sloop Clearwater is on its way to becoming a reality! A joint venture of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and Hudson River Maritime Museum, the new building on the Rondout Creek in Kingston will provide facilities for all of the sloop’s maintenance needs during the winter. It will also offer environmental education programming, green infrastructure training, community boat building, maritime history lectures and exhibitions throughout the year. At the press event announcing the project, U.S. Representative Maurice Hinchey highlighted the benefits of the partnership, stating, “I believe that the synergy of these two outstanding organizations will propel the Kingston waterfront to a position as one of the premiere ports on the Hudson River.” The structure of the new facility is scheduled to be erected in September 2012 as a collective barn raising by members of the Timber Framers Guild. Clearwater members and the community will be invited to view the barn raising. The two organizations will collaborate in designing the new construction and will work together to raise the funds necessary to complete the Kingston Home Port project. The Kingston Home Port project has a construction budget of $1.2 million. To date, just over $800,000 has been raised. We are actively seeking the balance of the funds. Please contact Eileen Newman, Grants and Major Gifts Coordinator, at (845) 265-8080, ext. 7160, if you are able to send a gift of any size to help complete this building.

the decades, his songs have run around the world like a fast train on a well-oiled track. They’ve become the folk song standards of the nation,

known and performed in many languages throughout the world. Pretty Boy Floyd, Pastures of Plenty, Hard Travelin’, Deportees, Roll On Columbia, Vigilante Man, I Ain’t Got No Home, Do Re Mi, Riding In My Car, Jesus Christ, and This Land Is Your Land are among the hundreds of his songs that have become staples in the canon of American music.

2012 marks Woody’s 100th birthday and to celebrate, the GRAMMY Museum has partnered with the Guthrie Family, Woody Guthrie Publications, Inc. and the Woody Guthrie Foundation & Archives to create unbelievable Centennial celebrations. The year-long celebration will include a host of concerts, educational conferences, exhibits, programs, films, new releases, and events taking place throughout the country and across the pond. Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger met in 1940 and Pete became one of Woody’s closest friends and musical collaborators. Forming a loosely knit folk group called The Almanac Singers, they took up social causes such as union organizing,

anti-Fascism, strengthening the Communist Party, peace, and generally fighting for the things they believed in the best way they could: through songs of political protest and activism. The “Woody Guthrie At 100 Exhibit,” located on the festival grounds near the Clearwater Merchandise tent, is a 17-panel exhibit that includes Woody’s lyrics, artworks, photographs, quotes, and biographical text. Created for Woody’s centennial, this exhibit is currently touring throughout Germany and France. Woody Guthrie’s granddaughter, Anna Canoni and Woody Guthrie Archivist, Tiffany Colannino will be at the Woody Guthrie Tent at various times to answer questions.

He’ll be joined by his family as they share timeless stories and unforgettable classics.

Brave Combo

Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole

The Chapin Sisters

Charlie Dane

Creek Iversen and Farm Friends Creek Iversen is a singing, banjo-picking New York State sustainable farmer. Together with a revolving crew of musical farmers, he has led home-grown organic music at farm markets, dances, community gatherings, and farm events.

Bhi Bhiman A mix of humor and deep empathy puts him in the company of distinguished (and much older) lifelong songsmiths like John Prine, Nick Lowe and Randy Newman. Bhiman’s technical, emotive guitar playing rises to the challenge that his striking voice presents.

Brave Combo For the past three decades the Grammy Award winning quintet, Brave Combo, has perfected a world music mix that includes salsa, meringue, rock, cumbia, conjunto, polka, zydeco, classical, cha cha, the blues and more. Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole One of the most noted young talents to emerge in Cajun or Creole music in the past few years. Cedric has been making a name for himself reviving old Creole fiddling styles, injecting a healthy dose of his own personality and ingenuity. The Chapin Sisters Abigail and Lily Chapin are known for pristine harmonies and haunting melodies. Though they have gained comparisons to sister acts of old, they also deviate from that comparison, “more like a distaff Lennon/McCartney than a traditional sibling act...” (Steve Horowitz, Popmatters) Charlie Dane Since the age of 10, Charlie has been gigging around the country with an acoustic guitar and a love of performing. Now at 13, she has completed her first CD. Dane’s voice is pure, charismatic and developed well beyond her years.

Creek Iversen and FarmFriends

Dala

Dawes

Deer Tick

The Dirty Stay Out Skifflers

Dog On Fleas

Donna Nestler

Dawes Fueled by a shared belief in the power of songs, Dawes are four talented friends making music together. They continue to master their blend of singer/ songwriter reflection with folk, country, ringing guitars, soaring harmonies, and heartfelt melodies. Deer Tick A band that’s been both accurately and inaccurately labeled just about everything this side of Top 40, their latest album Divine Providence is truer to their live set; raw, loud, heartfelt, and completely uninterested in whatever the rest of the music industry is up to. The Dirty Stay Out Skifflers Local jug band performers Dan Berger (harmonica), Josh Gordon (drum bass, mandolin), Rick Nestler (guitar, vocals), and Donna Nestler (banjolele, vocals) play old-timey, blues and folk music that will get everybody up and moving.

REMEMBERING RICHARD GOTTLIEB

ichard F. Gottlieb, a pioneer in solar energy and longtime Clearwater Festival Volunteer and Coordinator, died on February 15, 2012 at his home following a short period of declining health. Richard Gottlieb and Carol Levin met at the Clearwater Festival in 1978 at the original Croton Park site (where Festival Volunteers now camp) and were married in the fall of 1979. With their new company, Sunnyside Solar, they became the first Solar Sound Coordinators of the festival, powering the story telling stage at the original site in 1979 and expanding to other stages from there. Solar power continues to be an integral part of the Clearwater Festival. Gottlieb also taught hundreds of students about the future of harvesting power from the sun. One of his career highlights was participating in the development of the first Vanguard satellite. In 2002 he was honored by NESEA with the Distinguished Service Award. Richard was also a member of many regional and national solar organizations. We will miss Richard for his warmth, vision, ingenuity, and dedication to provide alternative energy at the Clearwater Festival.

ZERO WASTE

evival serves thousands of people, including audience, volunteers, staff, and artists. From the very beginning over 40 years ago, our festival has taken responsibility for the waste that we generate. We ask that you help us work towards a goal of zero waste by reusing when possible, and utilizing the sorting stations located around the site. To make it easier, food vendors will be offering products on compostable or recyclable serviceware. If you have questions, please ask the vendor or one of our helpful Zero Waste volunteers! Each sorting station includes three bins: Compost

Zero Waste

• All food waste (including meat, bones, and dairy) • Paper plates, waxed paper, paper napkins, and chopsticks • Compostable plastics (#7 PLA utensils, cups, and straws)

Over the past four years, our festival has been moving toward zero waste. This means that every year we have increased the percentage of Festival materials recovered through composting and recycling, thus reducing the amount of trash added to the waste stream and hauled to the county incinerator. We rely on everyone at the festival to chip in by taking an extra moment every time you throw something away. Together we can make this work. This year we have partnered with Rockland County Waste Management Authority’s cocomposting facility to receive our festival generated compostables. Through this partnership with a local agency we are reducing the festival’s carbon footprint. Remember to Reduce the amount you use, use Reusable items and, when buying, buy stuff made from Recycled materials. Bring your travel mug or water bottle with you to stay hydrated. A spork or reusable silverware are small and can easily tuck away in a pocket when not in use. Be creative and help support our zero waste efforts.

Recycling • Bottles • Cans • Plastics – You can recycle all numbered plastics except for… • Styrofoam, unmarked plastics and bags still go in the trash bins. • Compostable plastics should be composted, not recycled.

Trash We ask that you only dispose of true trash. Please double check where the product came from on the festival grounds. If it’s from the food court or food vendor around the grounds, it is compostable or recycleable. If it is from the Artisanal Food & Farm Market please check with a volunteer to see if the product is recycleable, compostable or trash.

Questions? Our festival Zero Waste committee has trained volunteers to help you decide where your waste 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. 2 0 1 2 CLEARWATER FESTIVAL

ABOUT CLEARWATER

udson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc. is a 501(c)3 tax exempt nonprofit, member-supported corporation whose mission is to preserve and protect the Hudson River. In 1966, Pete Seeger was deeply concerned over the pollution of the Hudson River and announced plans to “build a boat to save the river.” At the time, the Hudson was rank with raw sewage, toxic chemicals and oil pollution, and fish populations were disappearing at an alarming rate. Seeger envisioned a majestic replica of the Dutch sloops that sailed the Hudson in the 18th and 19th centuries, thinking that such a boat would bring people down to the river to enjoy its beauty and sublime qualities, simultaneously feeling inspired to preserve it. Inspired by that vision, the 106-feet-long sloop Clearwater was built and launched in 1969. The sloop was among the first vessels in the U.S. to conduct science-based environmental education aboard a sailing ship, virtually creating the template by which such programs are conducted around the world today. Since the launch of the sloop Clearwater, more than half a million young people and hundreds of thousands of adults have experienced their first real look at an estuary’s ecosystem—fish, invertebrates, water chemistry and ecological principals—aboard the sloop. Clearwater’s environmental education programs now serve more than 15,000 students annually, and the organization also educates over 200 teachers each year through SUNY New Paltz, Pace University and other institutions. 72

Clearwater’s members have helped advocate for the Clean Water Act, the Hudson River Park Act, the removal of PCB’s from the Hudson, and now to close Indian Point. The sloop Clearwater, America’s Environmental Flagship, was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its role in the environmental movement. Each summer, Clearwater re-connects Hudson Valley residents with their cultural heritage and traditions by bringing them down to the river for the Great Hudson River Revival, the country’s oldest music and environmental festival. The organization and its local sloop clubs also sponsor smaller local riverfront festivals throughout the year. Clearwater’s unique approach to public outreach has made the sloop Clearwater a symbol of grassroots action through hands-on learning, music and celebration.
