e re ’s F an ny ! Florence performer Jason Wood
unveiled his drag queen character Fanny
Rugburn (center) Saturday night in front of a
packed house at Old Town Barbershop. “A Night With
My Fanny” was produced by Dave Hansen and Paula
Burnette (above left). 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.
The course begins with a
required orientation for stu-

Thursday, Sept. 8, at 6:15
p.m., at the high school.
Several breaks in the class-

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.

during
the
Columbus Day Storm.
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.
City Club meets at
Driftwood Shores’ Surfside
Restaurant, 88416 First Ave.,
upstairs in the conference
room.
Lunch is served at 11 a.m.
The program begins at
noon and ends at 1 p.m. To
make a lunch reservation and
reserve a seat, call Roger
Johnson at 541-902-5135.
