Woodstock to “Rock the Reactors”

Woodstock to “Rock the Reactors”
Woodstock – The people of Woodstock, over the years, have championed many causes: peace, love, rock-n-roll, the arts and all forms of culture.
A group of anti-nuclear activists is planning a “Rock the Reactors” concert this Saturday to voice their opposition to the proposed relicensing of the Indian Point nuclear power plants.
The idea for the event came from green activist Remy Chevalier of Weston, CT.
“There’s a lot of old fighters in Woodstock; there’s guys who have basically been in the environmental movement and the peace movement for many, many years and sort of went and retired there, and I thought that if we could do an event that was pretty cool, and the Colony Café seems like the ideal location to do that, we could bring out a lot of old fighters,” he said. “We’ve been talking to a lot of them and they seem to want to be dusting themselves off and get back into the swing of things.”
Chevalier is teaming up for the concert with local resident Stacy Fine. “I had attended ‘No Nukes’ in 1980 when I was a teenager, and I’ve thought of Indian point before and heard it was built on a fault and things like that, and I thought, ‘why not?’ I’m going to tie in with these people and get active too.”
Among the performers will be Haale, Ruth of all Evil, Crash Corpse and BF Skinnher. The Hudson Valley Horrors, Kingston’s roller derby team will also make an appearance and Ulster County Legislator Brian Shapiro is expected to brief those in attendance about the latest developments regarding Indian Point.
