The Clarendon Scene ... as seen in Clarendon

The Supernatural Mime Troupe, under the direction of Manning native Craig King, was part of the Clarendon County CDC’s Cultural Arts Extravaganza, held on Sept. 9 at the F.E. DuBose Auditorium. The program was part of a youth art program sponsored by the CDC. “It is my hope we can sponsor more of these types of activities for our youth so that we can expose them to the visual and performing arts and allow them to express their creative talents,” said Paulette King, cultural arts coordinator for the CDC. This project was funded by a grant from the S.C. Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional funding was provided by the John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund of the Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina, the International Paper Company and Wal-Mart of Manning. Pictured here are mime troupe members Artavius Tindal, Stephen Gilyard, Patrick Gilyard, Kendrick Delacruz and Frederick Delacruz.   2005 N.J. Brockman Oratory Contest state winner, Deja Culver, right, is presented a proclamation from Mayor Kevin Johnson by Eva Gaters, Black River Oratorical Contest committee chair.

Members of Marianne Bassard’s Virtual Enterprise class at F.E. DuBose celebrated their success with a luncheon on Dec. 15. They were also treated to a Chamber of Commerce “ribbon cutting.” The class brought home a first place trophy at a state competition for virtual enterprise classes.   Associates and employees of Yanagawa pose with the presents they donated to members of the Disabilities and Special Needs board, who then distributed the presents to Clarendon County citizens who wouldn’t normally get presents. “This is the fourth or fifth year Yanagawa has donated Christmas gifts for less fortunate families,” said Cynthia Mack of DSN. A Yanagawa spokesperson said the company loves the Christmas season. “It always feels good when we can make a difference in people’s lives,” she said.
