Dear Clearwater Community,

Welcome to Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival for 2010! It was just over a year ago that my wife and I attended Pete Seeger’s 90th Birthday Celebration at

Madison Square Garden, enjoying all of the music, stories, and history. Little did I know that six months later I would be asked to be the director of Clearwater’s annual festival.

It is a privilege to lead this great festival that Pete and Toshi Seeger started over 40 years ago. It’s also an honor to work with Will Solomon, assistant director, Jeff Rumpf, executive director of Clearwater, and the rest of the Clearwater staff who have been tremendously helpful through this year’s planning. As you may know, our festival is largely dependent on 900 volunteers and 60-plus members of the Revival Planning Committee (RPC), who work tirelessly to present all that you’ll see and hear over the weekend. I have tremendous respect for the individuals in the RPC, some of whom have been here since the beginning of the festival. Their passion, hard work and dedication to the festival and Clearwater is inspiring.

I often ask members why they come back to volunteer, year after year, decade after decade, and one response that sticks with me is, “Because everything that I cared about, everything that I stood for—Pete Seeger was always the first one there.” I know that this feeling resonates with many of you as well.

There’s so much in store for you over the course of the weekend. We have seven stages featuring great musical artists on the Rainbow and Hudson stages; a newly renamed and expanded World Dance Stage featuring dance music styles from around the globe; the Family Stage with programming for all ages; Story Grove with master storytellers; Circle Of Song, a long-standing Clearwater tradition for audience participatory singing and a new stage called The Sloop Stage which returns to the Clearwater tradition of grassroots-based programming and engaging workshops. There’s also a Juried Crafts Fair, the Green Living Expo tent, Marketplace, Activist Area and a Working Waterfront where you can sail on the sloop Clearwater or Mystic Whaler plus take trips on smaller boats including canoes and kayaks. There will be lots of surprises throughout the weekend as well.

Thank you for supporting Clearwater and the Revival. I hope you have a wonderful and memorable weekend!

Steve Lurie,Festival Director

CLEARWATER’S VOLUNTEER TRADITIONY

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.

2010 CLEARWATER FESTivAL 5

Clearwater has always believed that in order for people to want to protect the Hudson, they have to experience it directly. Experiential learning is at the heart of what we do. The Classroom of the Waves boat programs on the sloop Clearwater and schooner Mystic Whaler combine the thrill of sailing a tall ship with first-hand study of the river’s ecology. The Tideline Program brings kids to the Hudson’s shore, while our classroom programs bring the river to the school. Our Youth Empowerment Programs (which include Young Men and Young Women at the Helm) provide kids with powerful multi-day experiences on the sloop, where they develop self-confidence while learning about environmental science and developing

maritime skills. Camp Clearwater offers two-week intensives on kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and rock climbing. Our Power of Song program gets kids to express themselves through music and connects them to past generations of cause musicians who have made a difference in the world.

All of this is designed to engage kids using the Hudson as a learning tool. We don’t just talk about the river, we make students part of the experience. While there is great pressure on schools to reduce costs and cut back on Clearwater programs like field trips on the boat or to the river’s shore, these experiences dramatically enhance kids desire to learn. Clearwater gives kids multiple opportunities to get involved, as students,

volunteers, apprentices and interns. In this way, we help set the stage for them to become the next wave of environmental leaders.

At the festival, we have two Clearwater tents devoted to education. One is called the Discovery Tent. There you will find Hudson River fish tanks, macroinvertebrates, and interactive displays. Near the Working Waterfront, is our Tideline Tent, where you can get information about current Hudson River research activities, including HRECOS (see sidebar), and learn about our shore based programs like Camp Clearwater and the Tideline Program. You can go seining for fish or even take a turn paddling our giant fur trader canoe. See you there!

This year, Clearwater has installed water quality monitoring equipment on the sloop that will

make us part of the Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System (HRECOS), a river-wide network of sensors that record data on the river in real time. Students who sail with us will be able to track Clearwater after they leave the boat and monitor the river as Clearwater sends back data that will be useful for scientists and educators. HRECOS is a partnership between the Stevens Institute, the Hudson River Foundation, the Cary Institute, the NYS DEC Hudson River Estuary Program, the USGS, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, and NOAA. Go to www.hrecos.org to find real-time data as well as lesson plans and HRECOS stories that bring the data to life. Find out more at the Tideline Tent!

C learwater’s Environmental Action Team Celebrates A Year of Victories and Faces

New Challenges

New York State Requires Indian Point to Switch to Closed-Cycle Cooling—Fish Decline Triggers Water Permit DenialIndian Point Nuclear Power Plant uses 2.5 billion gallons a day of Hudson River water for its once-through cooling system, which kills billions of fish, larvae and other organisms a year—an important cause of the steady decline of 10 of the 13 signature Hudson River fish. Clearwater applauds NY State Department of Environmental Conservation’s decision to enforce the Clean Water Act by withholding Indian Point’s Water Quality Certification (WQC) until Entergy, the facility owner and operator, installs a large closed-cycle cooling system which will reduce the plant’s water usage by

about 90%. The WQC is a requirement for the proposed 20-year relicensing of this aging nuclear power complex. For more information see: www.dec.ny.gov/permits/63150.html.

Clearwater also supports the request by Congressmen John Hall (NY), John Adler (NJ), and Edward Markey (MA) that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducts an investigation into the integrity and safety of buried piping at our nation’s nuclear power plants. More than 25% of all operating electric power reactors in the US have had radioactive leaks. In some cases, buried pipes carry water which would cool the reactor core in the event of an unexpected plant shut-down. Indian Point has leaked massive amounts of radioactive isotopes into the groundwater under the plant, which then finds its way into the Hudson River. Recently, Oyster Creek in NJ leaked tritiated water into an aquifer that supplies drinking water to local residents. Public health and safety requires better oversight. Please stop by Clearwater’s Environmental Action Tent to

sign the Petition in Support of Closed-Cycle Cooling at Indian Point and Urging a GAO Investigation of buried piping at all nuclear generation plants.

First year of PCB Clean Up Presents Many Challenges: On May 15, 2009—the year of Pete Seeger’s 90th Birthday, Clearwater’s 40th and the 400th Anniversary of Henry Hudson’s arrival in the New World—the long-awaited clean-up of over 1.3 million pounds of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) discharged by General Electric (GE) into the Hudson River began. Using sealed clam-shell dredges, GE’s contractors worked 24-hours a day, 6 days a week from May through November to remediate the first phase of contaminated sediments from the upper Hudson River. Some of the challenges encountered during this phase were: a greater than average water volume, water flow disturbances, and the force of the river. In addition, large amounts of debris masked the true depth of contamination (DoC). During

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION

Page 9: Clearwater Festival Guide 2010

2010 CLEARWATER FESTivAL 7

2009 GE’s contractors removed almost twice as much PCB-containing sediment and debris from 10 of the proposed 18 sites (“certification units” or CUs) as was expected. Nonetheless, PCB removal from the 8 remaining Phase 1 sites had to be postponed to Phase 2, which includes another 35 miles of dredging.

This winter and spring GE and EPA submitted various reports on Phase 1 dredging to an independent Peer Review Panel. EPA is urging that the Engineering Performance Standards for sediment resuspension, residuals and productivity be maintained, while GE wants Phase 2 to be “streamlined,” which would allow more PCBs to be left in the Hudson River, capped rather than removed. Clearwater strongly supports EPA recommendations for Phase 2. We emphasize that resuspension can be minimized by obtaining a better understanding of DoC; by undertaking a more careful dredging; by extending the wharf and related equipment to assure more efficient scow unloading; by an earlier and more widespread use of control measures, i.e., sheet piling, silt curtains, absorbent booms, less decanting, better access, and improved near-field monitoring of PCBs. Clearwater also recommends using more effective control measures to prevent the volatilization of PCBs into the air, and acknowledges that, due to the higher-than-expected extent of PCB contamination, it is possible that another year will be needed to complete the remediation project and to assure a world-class clean up, extending Phase 2 from 5 to 6 years resuming in 2011.

Advancing Environmental Justice in the Hudson Valley In addition to our expanded mission of inspiring the next generation of environmental leaders, Clearwater is deeply committed to promoting environmental justice (EJ) in the Hudson Valley region by minimizing environmental harm to communities of color and low income and by assuring that environmental benefits are distributed fairly. Through a grant from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation’s Office of Environmental

Justice, Clearwater has partnered with the Citizens for Equal Environmental Protection (CEEP) to perform a comprehensive environmental justice inventory (CEJI) in Peekskill, along with a revised Angler Survey and a Youth Empowerment project coordinated by the well-known hip-hop artist Decora Lloyd Sandiford of the ReadNex Poetry Squad—a favorite in the Hudson Valley and beyond.

Clearwater is proud to announce that it was recently awarded an EPA Environmental Justice Small Grant to promote Climate Justice in four Hudson River cities to help reduce their carbon emissions and assure that communities of color and/or economically disadvantaged are not disproportionately impacted by climate change and are adequately prepared to manage its potential consequences.

Watershed Protection and Green Infrastructure Planning in Hudson River Cities Clearwater has partnered with the Hudson Valley Regional Council and the Hudson River Watershed Alliance to implement a Green Infrastructure (GI) planning project in the Hudson Valley region. At least 10 community-based plans for implementing GI techniques will be developed in each of the participating communities. Victor-Pierre Melendez, who has been coordinating watershed planning in the lower, non-tidal Rondout Creek Watershed, will extend his work to Kingston in the tidal Rondout for this project. Our new Environmental Justice Associate, Karla Raimundi, will work in Beacon and the Fishkill Watershed, and Jen Rubbo will continue community outreach, organizing and educational efforts in Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park in the Fallkill Watershed. Other participating communities include Yonkers, Pawling, Newburgh, Warwick and Greenwood Lake. This project, which is designed to support green jobs and local economic revitalization, will expedite development of projects that can be finalized and implemented as future resources become available. It is being funded by the American Recovery Reinvestment Act

(ARRA) through the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Green infrastructure is a set of approaches and technologies that infiltrate, evaporate, capture or reuse stormwater to maintain or restore natural watershed benefits in our communities. Most green infrastructure techniques use soils and vegetation to infiltrate, evaporate, and/or recycle stormwater runoff. Green roofs, vegetated swales, rain gardens, cisterns and rain barrels, permeable pavement, and street trees with enhanced tree boxes are some common examples. Green infrastructure projects often involve retrofitting existing “grey” infrastructure—roads, parking lots, buildings, and stormwater systems—to improve the capacity to hold and absorb stormwater. Other GI practices improve a landscape’s capacity to absorb stormwater by restoring natural features like forests, fields, floodplains, or wetlands. In addition to effectively managing rainfall and runoff, green infrastructure can help improve air quality, reduce energy demands, mitigate urban heat island impacts, and sequester carbon while also providing communities with aesthetic and natural resource benefits.

RECYCLING & COMPOSTING Revival is a festival that serves

many thousands of people,

including audience, volunteers,

staff and artists. From the very

beginning over forty years ago, our

festival has taken responsibility for

the waste that we generate. We

continue this tradition and raise

awareness of the waste stream by

providing sorting stations located

around the site. These stations

include three bins: Compost / Recycling / Trash

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT GOES IN EACH BIN? Compost – All utensils provided by our food vendors are made of plant polymers that are biodegradable and compostable. This means they can be thrown in the compost bins at each

sorting station. What else can be thrown in these bins? All paper plates and paper scraps (napkins), all of your food waste (including meat and dairy), chopsticks, and even your straws! This material is collected, processed, mixed with other carbon source material (ie leaves, wood chips) and in 1-2 years breaks down into a rich soil amendment.

Recycling – Most other waste at the festival is recyclable or redeemable. This includes bottles, cans and other plastics. The deposits from these containers are redeemed by Clearwater and help offset our operating costs for the festival and other Clearwater programs.

Trash – Are you certain it needs to be thrown away? Please double check where the product came from on the festival grounds. If it’s from the food court or any food vendor it is compostable or recyclable. The trash bin is the last resort.

ZERO WASTEOver the past three years, our festival has been moving toward zero waste. This means that every year we have increased the percentage of the waste stream that is recovered through composting and recycling, thus reducing the amount of trash that ends up at 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.

QUESTIONS? Our festival Recycling/Litter picking 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 in the food court at each sorting station and at various locations around the festival grounds.

This year’s Activist Area would like to pay tribute to Doris “Granny D” Haddock, who passed away in March, at the age of 100. She is an example of what true grassroots activism is all about.

She began her activist activity in 1960 when she and her husband successfully campaigned against planned hydrogen bomb nuclear testing in Alaska. Their actions helped save an Inuit fishing village at Point Hope. In April of 2000, Granny D was arrested for reading the Declaration of Independence in the Capitol Building. At her hearing, she said to the judge, “Some of us do not have much power, except to put our bodies in the way of an injustice, to walk, to picket or to just stand in the way. It will not change the world overnight but it is all we can do.” In 1999, when she was 90, she gained national recognition when she walked 3,200 miles across our country to call attention to the issue of campaign finance reform. She is widely credited with galvanizing the public support that helped pass the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill in 2004.

Granny D has been an ongoing symbol of strength, integrity and perseverance. She embodied the same spiritual consciousness that has been at the root of Pete Seeger’s ongoing journey in addressing the social, environmental and political injustices that negatively impact all our lives. We greatly appreciate the commitment and dedication that Granny D exhibited and are thankful for the role model that she was for us. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” Those in our activist community, just like Granny D, work tirelessly at protesting many evils. They are truly a part of the solution. The political activists at this festival are among the numberless grassroots organizers that advocate for a better world. They speak out in response when others speak from ignorance, fear, and selfishness. Clearwater is proud to host these courageous members of our society.

On a cold January night in 1966, Pete Seeger typed out a wild idea to his friend Vic Schwartz, an idea that would provide a symbol for the emerging Hudson River environmental movement: “Why don’t we get a few hundred families together and build a life-size Hudson River sloop?” The Hudson at that time had become little more than a waste canal. Industries and communities had been dumping anything and everything into the river since the days when sloops, those glorious vessels with enormous sails, were common on the river, carrying passengers and cargo between New York City and Albany.

On May 17th, 1969, Clearwater slid down the ways of Harvey Gamage’s Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine. It had been over a century since a vessel of its kind had been launched. In the 41 years since that day, over 10,000 schoolchildren per year have been introduced to the beauty that runs through their lives by participating in Clearwater’s experiential sloop-based education programs; and people of all ages have been brought down to a river that had been inaccessible to them, reconnecting them to the waterway that they now care for as their own.

After 41 years of sailing and over 500,000 people who have moved across Clearwater’s decks, time, wear and tear have taken their toll. To date, her deck has been completely replaced, along with the standing rigging, sails, and the auxiliary generator, and we have progressed to massive renovations of the hull framing and planking.

As part of an ambitious and proactive 5-year restoration plan, the 2009-2010 winter maintenance season saw Clearwater’s bow completely exposed to the stem for the first time since her launch. Clearwater’s dedicated winter crew, led by Captain Nicholas Rogers, worked alongside master shipwright Jim Kricker and the skilled team from Rondout Woodworking to replace frames and planks in the vessel’s bow, rebuilding a most crucial part of our hull to ensure the structural integrity of this hard-working sloop. The large timbers at her stern and surrounding her centerboard will follow in the upcoming years, in addition to much of the planking below the waterline—resulting in a strong new hull, ready to take on the next forty years and the next generation of environmental leaders.

Far from being an historical remnant, Clearwater remains a dynamic and vital part of the 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 3,000 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 our multi-day Youth Empowerment program, to volunteering onboard for a week, to becoming a member of the crew for 1 to 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.

Amy B.Amy has performed her songs for kids of all ages at the Bronx Zoo. A proud and grateful native of the Hudson Valley, Amy works at the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Angel BandAngel Band blends gospel, soul, bluegrass, Cajun, folk and pop into a high energy American music gumbo. Featuring three part harmonies of bandleader/chief songwriter Nancy Josephson and singers Aly Paige & Kathleen Weber, the band includes Marc Moss (mandolin/drums/guitar), Bob Taylor (bass), Christie Lenee (guitar), and Nate Grower (fiddle).

Ann Shapiro and Tom CallinanConnecticut-based husband and wife duo Tom Callinan and Ann Shapiro have worked together since 1982.

The SubdudesLed by singer/guitarist John Magnie, the Subdudes draw inspiration from the sounds of their native New Orleans, blending blues, gospel, funk, and R&B with harmony vocals; their sound is also notable for the band’s substitution of a tambourine player for a drummer.

Hudson 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 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.

Clearwater’s members have helped advocate for the Clean Water Act, the Hudson River Park Act and removal of PCB’s from the Hudson.

The 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 Clearwater a symbol of grassroots action through hands-on learning, music and celebration.
