Actor Matt Korso (above right) opened the show with the opening act of “SantaLand Diaries,” coming to Class Act Theatre in December. During the show, Wood sang, lip synced and entertained the audience as Fanny, a larger-than-life crass character with an opinion on everything. Fanny gave questionable advice, cooked with an audience member and even demonstrated proper drag queen makeup techniques. involves 30 hours of interac- tive classroom training, 12 hours of in-car training and five hours of specified home practice.

Questions? Call 541-997-6337 Nulty to speak at next City Club meeting The City Club of Florence has scheduled Frank Nulty, CERT Program coordinator and trainer, to present a short tutorial on disaster prepared- ness Friday, Sept. 2. Nulty will focus on the hazards identified in the Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (NHMP) specific to the Florence Area. A copy of the current plan, along with a listing of disaster prepared- ness classes, are available online at the West Lane Emergency Operations Group website at www.wleog.org Nulty will emphasize development of personal plans for dealing with each of the hazards before they occur. Realizing that few residents use the published NHMP while deciding their chosen place to live, he will discuss how to mitigate the effects for their general location. Severe winter wind storms affect the Pacific Northwest’s coastal communities on an annual basis. What about the disasters? The most damaging storm of record occurred on Oct.

This storm was like Super Storm Sandy, which recently hammered the East Coast, but studies have shown the Columbus Day Storm caused more damage to homes, busi- nesses and infrastructure. The Cascadia Earthquake and potential tsunami are the only identified hazards which are truly “No Notice.” Nulty will provide some recently released data which will help you decide which mitigation efforts you should be completing now.
