‘Scapino9 has a trick up his sleeve

Associate Photo Editor
When was the last time you had
a really good laugh? A laugh that
makes no noise and you’re just
sitting there, shaking and clapping
like a seal. These are the kind
o f laughs that “The Schemes o f
Scapino” inspires. Within minutes
the characters had the audience in
stitches.
“The Schemes o f Scapino”
takes place in contemporary
Naples, Italy, and is about a trick
ster servant, Scapino, who is con
cocting an intricate plot to aid two
pairs o f lovers against parental
opposition.
Right away, the cast members
broke the fourth wall and involved
the audience. They asked ques
tions o f the audience and played
off o f their answers. A t one point
the audience was asked to stomp
their feet in order to emulate
the sound o f soldiers. This was
a smart move, not only was it
more real sounding than a com
puter generated sound effect, but
it engaged the audience. There
was also a particularly humorous
joke and one o f the cast members
came to the edge o f the stage
and explained it to the audience.
They had laughed the first time,
but laughed even harder when he
cam e over arid exp lain ed it.
The costumes were absolutely
stunning. The use o f patterns and
fabric was a little discombobu-
lated at first, but as the character

The use o f props was also bril

Three lifelong gun owners
have come together because
o f the horrific tragedy at
Clackamas Town Center last
December. Their mission is gun
control. They aim to unite gun
owners in Oregon and across
the country to fight for the com
mon goal o f safety for our citi
zens.
Robert Yuille, husband o f
shooting victim Cindy Yuille,
is one o f those gun owners. The
loss o f his wife last December
has changed his purpose in life.
“Cindy and I always
believed that things in life hap
pen for a reason. We’re not
supposed to know what it is;
w e’re just supposed to follow
that path however it leads us,”
Yuille said. “When she was
murdered I really did not think
about becoming involved in any
kind o f activism, whatsoever,
but it just has pretty much pre
sented itself to me.”
Paul Kemp lost his brother-
in-law, Steve Forsyth, in the
shooting. Together with Yuille
and under the leadership o f Rick
George, they spoke o f their ignit
ed activism and o f their deep
wish for new action concerning
gun safety to Marion County
Democrats at their headquarters
in Salem last Thursday.
G eorge,
ow ner
of
Grande Ronde Consulting in
McMinnville, wants to grow
their mission to find a solution
to the burgeoning gun violence
across our nation. All three have
a passion for gun ownership and
believe responsible gun owners
can exercise their rights,and still
protect the Second Amendment.
They also believe that “gun con
trol” is not a bad term.
“I have seen enough in the
last couple o f years to move
me to action. I have never been
involved in gun politics in my
life and never wanted to -
avoided it,” George said.
He has obviously had a
change o f heart. The activists
are forming a not for profit
oiganization tentatively named
“Oregon Gun Owners for
Safety.”
