ClearWater eduCatIon

R ecent studies have shown that there is a sharp decline in the number of kids interacting with nature. The reasons behind this may include “videophilia,” the emergence of the computer

gaming craze, combined with budget cuts to nature-based field trips as schools feel the pressure of “no Child Left Behind” mandates.

It will be hard to instill a sense of environmental stewardship in the next generation if a child’s experience with nature is limited to watching “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel. Virtual nature can’t be a replacement for the real thing. At Clearwater, we believe that getting kids out of the classroom and onto the river is a great remedy for apathy and powerful strategy to get kids excited about learning.

for children, it is important to revive that “sense of wonder” (as Rachel Carson put it) in the living world. To do that, kids need to get their hands wet and experience nature first hand. A Clearwater education program might involve an amazing sail on the sloop Clearwater or schooner Mystic Whaler, a field trip to the river’s shore, bringing a little bit of the Hudson directly to a classroom, or a combination of all three. Kids get the chance to raise sail and navigate a large, traditional sailboat. They learn about the ecology and history of the Hudson by identifying fish and seeing the living history along the river’s shores. They test the waters for signs of pollution and learn about issues affecting their communities and how to get involved and make a difference. They also learn about the connection between the river’s health and the land that surrounds it.

This year, we are developing an exciting mix of adventure education programs that will extend river experiences into the watershed, during after-school and summer camp programs in Beacon. Clearwater is reaching out to underserved communities, connecting kids from economically challenged urban neighborhoods to the Hudson River.

As the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s sail up the river approaches next year, we want kids and adults to rediscover the Hudson River and the natural world. Our goal is to train and inspire

the next generation of environmental leaders and you can’t do that with a video game. To learn more about Clearwater education, stop by the Discovery Tent at the festival!

the GreeNlaND-huDsoN coNNectioN

Over the years people from all over the world have sailed with us on the Clearwater. This past fall we had the

chance to bring some teenagers from the world’s largest island, Greenland, on board the sloop, along with students from an after-school program in Poughkeepsie called “no Child Left Inside.” Clearwater founder Pete Seeger also joined us for the sail. The Greenlanders shared with us news of how pollutants from the industrialized world (like PCBs and mercury) have contaminated their food chain. Greenland has also been impacted by climate change, dramatically affecting their traditional lifestyle, making routine activities like dog sledding, fishing, and hunting more dangerous as the ice thins. A melting Greenland could have dire consequences for the Hudson Valley as river towns lose waterfront property, access to fresh water, and critical habitats. But this sail on the Clearwater was dedicated to enjoying the river and making new friends. The Greenland kids worked hard to raise the mainsail (see above photo), learned about Hudson River fish, and sang songs with the master folk singer. It was great watching the two groups of teens get to know each other and gain insights into their respective worlds.

Indian Point’s operation over the past few years continues to be plagued with

numerous unplanned closures, a transformer explosion, siren failures, the malfunction of a main boiler pump, and increasing leaks of radioactive material into the groundwater under the plant

and the Hudson River. Clearwater and other environmental groups have repeatedly called for an independent safety assessment (ISA), with the idea that any problems discovered should be resolved before the license renewal process was initiated. Instead, the nuclear Regulatory Commission (nRC) has accepted and begun the process of reviewing Entergy’s license renewal application for Units 2 and 3 for another 20 years of operation, and Entergy has created a self-selected, so-called “Independent Safety Evaluation Panel,” which has no legal authority and is a classic example of the fox watching the henhouse.

Given these realities, Clearwater decided to participate in the Indian Point renewal process by actively attending hearings and offering cogent, science-based public comment. In December 2007, we intervened in the renewal proceeding by filing an Intervenor Petition with six contentions. We argued that the license should not be renewed because Entergy’s Environmental Report failed to adequately consider: 1) leaks; 2) higher than average cancer rates and other health impacts in the area surrounding the plant; 3) environmental justice; 4) inadequate analysis of Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives (SAMA); 5) renewable energy and energy efficiency alternatives to continued operation of the plant; and 6) the plant’s vulnerability to a terrorist attack.

In March 2008, Clearwater Board Member Stephen filler and I appeared in front of an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) panel to offer oral argument and answer questions regarding our Intervenor Petition. ASLB hearing officers were especially interested in the Environmental Justice issues we raised relating to prisoners in the dozens of prisons in the 50 miles surrounding the plant, the majority of whom are minority and low income, for whom evacuation would be virtually impossible.

a light at the end of the tunnel for hudson river pcb remediation:Clearwater continues to attend EPA’s monthly Community Advisory Group (CAG) meetings to monitor and provide input into the design phase of the PCB cleanup. General Electric has made excellent progress constructing a treatment facility along the Champlain Canal in fort Edward to remove water from PCB-contaminated sediments prior to shipping them by rail to a hazardous waste landfill in Texas. Dredging is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2009. Clearwater members and supporters can take a lot of credit—it was their ongoing advocacy that caused this cleanup to happen. However, GE has still not reached an agreement with the Canal Corp. to perform long-overdue navigational dredging, which should be done in tandem with the environmental dredging that GE is required to do to clean up the Upper Hudson.

environmental Justice: assuring equal environmental protection for allClearwater is actively working with Skidmore College to create an Environmental Justice (EJ) map for 15 counties along Hudson, north of new York City. In April, we partnered with local communities to submit three Environmental Justice Grant applications to the nYS Department of Environmental Conservation Office of Environmental Justice. They included grant applications for:

Beacon Environmental Justice/Leadership Pipeline (BEJ/LP) Project •to provide Beacon youth with leadership and problem-solving skills, and to help motivate them to make healthy lifestyle choices.Connecting inner city Poughkeepsie to nature by conducting a •feasibility study to construct a recreational trail along the fall Kill Creek in the city of Poughkeepsie and a neighborhood Source Assessment.Creating an Comprehensive Environmental Justice Inventory (CEJI) •for Peekskill with Citizens for Equal Environmental Protection of the Hudson Valley (CEEP) to assess various environmental and health impacts in the Peekskill area, including revising and administering an updated Angler Survey, and by empowering Peekskill youth to create and implement an environmentally beneficial project of their own design.

Watershed aWareness, planning, and protectionWith funding from the Hudson River Estuary Program, Clearwater is currently working on watershed protection for Rondout and fall Kill tributaries and providing direct support to the Kinderhook and Catskill and advisory support to Esopus, Wallkill, and others through the Hudson River Watershed Alliance.

The Rondout Creek Watershed Council (RCWC) is working with area elected officials to create an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) for watershed management planning (WMP). for more information please contact, Victor Melendez, (845) 454-7673 x112 or [email protected].

This spring, the fall Kill Watershed Committee was busy planting trees to enhance the riparian buffer at the mouth of the creek, as well as participating in an eel-monitoring project in partnership with nYS Department of Environmental Conservation. A creek-wide clean up is planned for the week of August 4-10. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jennifer Rubbo, (845) 454-7673 x114 or [email protected].

The health of any river is dependent on the health of the

creeks, streams, and land that make up its watershed. This past year has presented many exciting opportunities

to make positive changes in the health of the Hudson River watershed through the work of the Hudson River Watershed Alliance (HRWA). Clearwater has been an integral member of the Alliance and has provided administrative and staffing support for the past three years. To this day, Clearwater continues to house the Alliance and provide administrative support.

In 2007, HRWA partnered with the Hudson Valley Regional Council to successfully obtain a grant from the nYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Hudson River Estuary Program. This grant is providing funding to support the HRWA Coordinator’s important work while allowing HRWA to take on initiatives that will further a regional watershed protection agenda. The Hudson Valley Regional Council is an important partner to furthering watershed protection while continuing to

ensure economic stability and quality of life.As a non-advocacy coalition, our goal is to bring education

and information to local decision-makers. This two-year grant is focused on developing a web-based geographic information system (GIS) application that will allow members of the community, watershed groups, and local governmental entities to view the various components of their watersheds in a map format. Intended to guide local decision-making, this web-based GIS system will include information and data that will enable more informed decision, benefiting our watershed and in turn benefitting our Hudson River. HRWA’s other projects include integrating water resources into climate change adaptation, working with regional stakeholders to identify a sustainable watershed sediment management policy, and developing a Hudson River watershed water resources monitoring framework with other regional partners.

HRWA’s overall strategic plan and agenda are guided by a 15-person representative Steering Committee. Under their guidance and oversight, HRWA will continue to grow and flourish into a truly regional coalition representative of all water-resource stakeholders.

The activist area at this festival affords not-for-profit organizations the opportunity to share their passion in trying to make the world a better

place. They attempt at increasing the public’s awareness of critical issues affecting the world. As advocates for a better world, we have to speak out in response when others speak from ignorance, fear, and selfishness. Many activists in attendance are volunteers, who work tirelessly at informing and educating the public while they carry on the everyday life tasks of holding down a job and raising families.

We in the activist community at Clearwater would like to pay tribute to an extraordinary person who recently passed away. This year’s Activist Area is honoring Susan June Blake. She was the force behind Long Island’s Peacesmiths and has represented them here for over 12 years. She was truly one of the most dedicated and self less friends that graced our festival. When we, who are politically active, look at the example set by her, we realize just what a tireless giant she was. She once remarked to other tired volunteers, “So we are all exhausted, but we have to just keep on doing.” for all of her accomplishments, with far too many to mention here, it is a shame that many of those on Long Island had never heard of her. Yet, she spent her short life making it a healthier, safer, and more equitable life for all citizens. As the Peacesmith’s banner states, “We’re

Pro-Humanity.” This meant working on every issue that affected humanity, including anti-war, environmental, human rights, social justice, nuclear power, and health issues. In her practice of organizing communities she always emphasized participation, transparency, and democracy. While primarily acting locally, her work and the issues she raised had global significance.

no one knows where this kind of drive and commitment comes from but we sure need more of it at this time in history, given the health of our country. Susan June Blake was fortunate to come from a family that was politically astute and active. Her mom, Betty Jane Blake, was an activist who had a booth at our festival for many years. We were sorry to have lost her a few years ago. In putting things into perspective, nancy Jane Blake, Susan’s sister, said, “We were brought up to be citizens of the world and taught that you need to take some responsibility for taking care of the world.” The Blake family gives us all something to try and emulate. They have been and are truly part of the solution.

AT THE CLEARWATER FESTIVAL



In a world where sustainable living is becoming increasingly necessary for a healthy lifestyle, learning how to respect the environment on a daily basis is critical. This is the goal at

Clearwater’s Green Living Expo. By featuring exhibitors whose businesses and organizations focus on green living, we are not just raising awareness, but furthermore, we are helping others to use their purchasing power to make change.

Green procurement is the purchasing of products and/or services that are distinguished by either minimizing negative environmental impacts or enhancing positives ones. This begins by asking yourself simple questions: Do I really need this product? Is there any way to reduce my consumption, share or reuse? When you do need to purchase something new, look for products that utilize recycled content, nontoxic materials and sustainable energy resources. In practicing green procurement and green living you are making the active decision to support green products and services, increasing their demand and promoting sustainable industry growth. This in turn reduces the demand for products and services with negative environmental impacts.

Visit the Green Living Expo tent, explore the opportunities for sustainable living, and most importantly, become aware of the everyday action you can take in support of the environment.

green living expoproducts and services for a sustainable future

Green Shopping Tips• Choose items with little to no packaging.

• Most paper products have some recycled content. Purchase those with at least 30% post-consumer recycled content.

• Some disposable products that we use once and throw out have more durable equivalents. Bring reusable canvas bags to the grocery store or use cloth rags to clean your house instead. Cloth diapers and reusable mugs are another great example of this.

• Purchase food that is certified organic. “Natural” does not mean organic.

• Buy local produce to support local agricultural communities and to reduce the amount of transportation needed to bring items from farm to shelf.

• Avoid chemicals or use organic versions of traditional lawn care products.

• Reduce the harmful effects of power-plant emissions by using compact, fluorescent light bulbs, and powering your home with solar or wind energy.

• Only buy Energy Star-rated appliances, which will pay for themselves in energy savings.

• When building or renovating, consult with a green building firm. There are a great many ways to green your home: cellulose insulation; nontoxic paint; sustainable wood flooring; cement fiber board or other alternatives to vinyl siding, which is toxic in its production and incineration.

• Ask any of the vendors at the Green Living Expo how they can help you to live more sustainably!

On a cold January night in 1966, Pete Seeger typed out a wild idea: “Why

don’t we get a few hundred families together and build a life-size Hudson River Sloop?” He sent the letter to his friend Vic Schwartz, who had loaned him a little book called Sloops of the Hudson. In this recollection of days long past he had read of things he never knew had existed: glorious vessels with enormous sails that were once common on the river, carrying passengers and cargo between New York City and Albany.

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 of the sloops. Few noticed the river, and fewer cared for the once beautiful Hudson. What was needed was a symbol and a rallying point, a reason to take notice and care. Her name would be Clearwater.

It was a bright sunny day on May 17, 1969, when Clearwater slid down the ways of Harvey Gamage’s Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine. A vessel such as this hadn’t been launched in over a century. Pete and a close knit group of musicians/environmental activists, including Don McLean (“American Pie”), Gordon Bok (“Another Land Made of Water”), and Louis Killen (“Death of Nelson”), had raised funds for the initial construction through a series of benefit concerts. Even so, when Captain Allen Aunapu sailed down

the Damariscotta River with a crew of musicians, Harvey Gamage was still owed the balance of the construction cost. Clearwater’s trip to her new home would also be a fundraising concert tour. They would sail along, pull into a town, and put on a show. Music has been a part of Clearwater’s life from the very beginning.

A symbolic value of the sloop was clear from the start: Clearwater has since help make actual changes to the health of the river. The first and most important step was to stop the dumping into the river. In 1970, Clearwater sailed to Washington,

DC, to campaign for the passage of the Clean Water Act. Signed into law two years later, this act banned or regulated industrial waste discharges and required the building of sewage treatment plants, something we now take for granted. Clearwater has taken a leading role on environmental issues of the Hudson Valley ever since, including PCB contamination, Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, and minimizing the impact of other power plants on the river.

The other way to affect change is to reconnect people to the river, and as with so many life-changing experiences, it’s best to “get ’em young.” In the mid-70s, Clearwater developed an experiential education program that introduces nearly 5,000 schoolchildren a year to the unnoticed wilderness that runs through their lives. Giving a fourth-grader the opportunity to touch a fish and help to raise a massive sail is a sure way to build respect for the environment. Clearwater’s education program has been copied around the country and around the world.

In 2001, a series of major capital improvements to the sloop began. Over thirty years of sailing and more than 45,000 schoolchildren had taken their toll. To date, Clearwater’s deck has been completely replaced, along with the standing rigging, sails, and the auxiliary generator. The next phase of this “serial restoration,” replacement of much of the hull framing and planking, is planned for the near future.

poison iVyPoison ivy is a-creepin’ around the festival. Patches grow close to the ground and on trees and shrubs as hairy vines. Poison ivy is a three-leaf plant that’s often shiny, sometimes dull, often dark green, sometimes light; however, there is always a trio of leaves at the end of each stem. If you come in contact with poison ivy, wash the affected areas immediately with soapy water and visit the First Aid tent if you feel itchy or a rash appears.

Did you know that home and garden pesticide use can increase the risk of childhood leukemia by almost seven times? Or that even at relatively low levels, pesticides may

increase an individual’s risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by 70%?

19 of the 30 commonly used lawn-pesticides are linked to cancer, 13 to birth defects, 21 with reproductive effects, 15 with neurotoxicity, 26 with liver or kidney damage, 27 are

sensitizers and/or irritants, and 11 have the potential to disrupt the endocrine system.

sailing up my dirty streamstill i love it and i’ll keep the dream

that some day though maybe not this yearmy hudson river will once again run clear.

she starts high in the mountains of the northcrystal clear and icy, trickles forth,

with just a few floating wrappers of chewing gumdropped by some hikers, to warn of things to come.

still…i love it and i’ll dream that some day, though maybe not this year, my hudson river and my County will run clear.

Does spending days and nights aboard a replica of a mid-19th century Hudson River sloop, sailing on the river visiting some of the Hudson’s most beautiful areas seem like a great way to

spenda week? Then come crew on the sloop Clearwater or the Mystic Whaler!

As a volunteer about the Hudson River sloop Clearwater or her sister ship the Mystic Whaler, you will live aboard the vessel for a week and become part of her hard-working crew. Upon arrival, you will be trained with four or five other volunteers in all aspects of sailing live with a professional crew, perform basic sailing duties, participate in boat chores and be a role model for all of our visitors. NO EXPERIENCE IN SAILING IS NECESSARY.

Help a great cause by inspiring people about the river and it will prove to be a truly rewarding experience. Call (845) 454-7673 or check out www.clearwater.org.
