Be Ready, Be CloveReady
Emergency Preparedness

It’s that time of year again, and the City of Cloverdale wants you to be prepared for emergencies that have the potential to impact our community. Resilient Cloverdale, a group of Cloverdale residents, businesses, and civic organizations, has developed for you CloveReady – how to be prepared in case of emergency. There are four easy steps you can learn to ensure that every resident understands the actions they can take before, during, and after an emergency to protect the health and well-being of their household and immediate neighbors.

1. Know Your Zone
2. Get Alerted
3. Pack a Little Bag
4. Have a Plan to Reunite

Visit our website https://cloveready.org/ to learn more about the initiative and ways you can get involved. Let’s walk through the four steps below.

Know your zone: The City of Cloverdale has established standardized evacuation zones for the incorporated area. The city encourages its residents to be familiar with their zone in case of an evacuation. The city map containing each boundary and zone can be found on the City of Cloverdale’s website. Learn your zone for home and work and be ready to go when an evacuation order or warning for your area is issued. To learn more about evacuation zones, visit: https://www.cloverdale.net/457/Emergency-Operation-Plan-and-Evacuation-
https://socoemergency.org/get-ready/evacuation-map/

Plan: When it’s time to evacuate and action is required, the City encourages residents to have a plan in place. Planning will give you the confidence to act and provide you with the necessary tools to stay safe. Below are some tips that you can use to help build your plan:

• Remember, first responders will be overloaded in a disaster; help yourself by planning in advance.
• People and pets are your priority.
• If you need help to evacuate, quickly reach out, in advance, to neighbors, family, or friends and discuss how they can assist you, what you will need, and a backup plan in case the immediate help is not able
to assist.
• Be sure to have an extra supply of life-saving medications and copies of prescriptions.
• Complete a Personal Emergency Plan and have it ready to go.

Alerts: The City of Cloverdale has experienced disasters over the past several years, including floods, power shutoffs, a pandemic, and wildfires that have threatened the incorporated population. The City’s alert and warning system is vital in early alert notifications, and residents are encouraged to sign up to receive life-saving alerts. Below are the links to sign-up and receive critical information from different warning systems within Sonoma County.

June is the start of the fresh produce season. On these warmer summer days, I enjoy grilled meat salads. The lettuce is a canvas for whatever you like, so have fun with it. You can substitute beef or omit the meat and the tequila is optional.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

Tequila Marinade

• 1/2 cup lime juice (2 limes)
• 1/3 cup Tequila and a little more for sipping
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced or crushed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salad

• 4 cups Romaine lettuce leaves, chopped (or Cos lettuce)
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
• 4 mini tortilla wraps

Avocado Dressing

• 1 ripe avocado, peeled and seed removed
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
• 1/4 reserved Tequila Marinade (see instructions below)
• salt to taste

Step 1 In a large, shallow bowl, whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Pour out 1/4 cup the marinade into a jug or cup, and refrigerate to use later in the avocado crema / dressing.

Step 2 Add the chicken fillets to the marinade in the bowl, and marinade for two hours if time allows (or overnight).

Step 3 Heat about one teaspoon of oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken fillets on each side until golden, crispy and cooked through (grill in batches to prevent excess water being released.) Once chicken is cooked, set aside and allow to rest.

a. Wipe pan over with paper towel; drizzle with another teaspoon of oil and fry pepper strips until cooked to your liking.
b. While chicken and peppers are cooking, combine the avocado, yogurt (or sour cream), reserved tequila marinade, and salt to taste in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add a couple tablespoons of water or milk to make it thinner in consistency if needed.
c. Optional: Warm tortillas on another pan over low heat until soft and warmed through. Transfer to warmed plates and cut into strips.
d. Slice chicken and prepare salad with leaves, peppers,
tomatoes and chicken. Drizzle with the avocado dressing and serve with lime wedges and taco strips.

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Joe Hawley of Cloverdale, California, who died peacefully on April 19th, 2023, just a few days after his 85th birthday. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones, and knew he was loved by students and colleagues far and wide. His great skill as a teacher, his endless artistic creativity, and his playful spirit will be forever missed.

Joe Hawley was a shining star in the ceramics world from a very young age, and is considered a pioneer in the early California Glass Arts movement. He became a tenured professor of ceramics at San Jose City College at just 21 years old, while completing his MFA in Glass Sculpture at San Jose State University. Shortly after, he moved on to become a professor at San Francisco State University, where he taught art for nearly three decades.

Teaching ceramics and glass at SFSU, and through his unique and indomitable creative spirit, he influenced countless creative minds over the years. His “Events” of the 1960’s, in collaboration with artist Mel Henderson, are the stuff of legend, notably his Oil and Yellow Cab events, which were featured in the BAM/PFA show State of Mind: New California Art Circa 1970. Joe founded the Hot Glass Department at SFSU, one of the first university hot glass shops in the country. He also taught regularly at the University of Hawaii, where—besides having a very good time—he founded Raku Ho’olaule’a, an annual beach-fired ceramics event which has been going strong for over 45 years.

Besides teaching and his extensive involvement in many of the creative “Events” in the 60’s, Joe Hawley spent years collaborating with industrial ceramics companies such as Gladding McBean and Mission Clay Products, where he created many of the large-scale ceramic pipe sculptures that he is known for. His extensive travels around the world also became a catalyst for much of his work, such as “Song of India,” a series of hanging and stacked pieces that were created after a sabbatical to the glass bead factories in India.

Joe retired from SFSU in 1995, moving into the old Alder Glen District County School, a turn of the century one room schoolhouse located just outside the community of Cloverdale, which he turned into his studio and art gallery. From there— for nearly 30 years—he continued his relentless exploration of art and sculpture through ceramics, glass, and mixed media, including metal, polyurethane foam, plastic toys, found objects, bronze, and concrete. His on-site creative projects include a 40′ concrete art wall called “The Edge” and, famously, a woodpecker-riddled wall of the schoolhouse, which he gallery framed and embellished with colored glass. He called this his “Collaboration with Woodpeckers.” Though Joe is now gone, the woodpeckers continue on with this work.

Joe Hawley loved the community of Cloverdale deeply, and was very proud of the little town he lived in. He supported and participated in the Cloverdale Alliance and Cloverdale Sculpture Trail over many years. He also loved beer and live music and up until very recently could be found enjoying the lively outdoor events of the area, especially Friday Night Live and Tuesday nights in the Healdsburg Plaza.

Joe was the last of his generation, predeceased by his sisters Hazel and Vivian and his brother Warren. He is survived by his loving daughter Jorin and her partner Hannes, his long-time girlfriend Wendy, and his devoted caregiver Robin. He had a loving family, a huge group of friends, and a giant student fan base, so his loss is truly and deeply felt.

We will all be dutifully looking after the woodpeckers for him.

Interviews of Joe speaking of his life and career can be found at https://cloverdalesculpturetrail.org/sculpture-day/

To share memories, please visit his memorial website: https://everloved.com/life-of/joseph-hawley/

Joe’s work will be featured in the upcoming Lost in Cloverdale art exhibition opening on July 1^st, 2023 at 14feet., 229 N. Cloverdale Blvd.
