Aurora Theatre now boasts 5’7” Steinway grand piano
By Jon Carr
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. | The Aurora Theatre has received an extraordinary gift of a Steinway 5-foot 7-inch black matte piano, which will make its debut during the season opening musical production of Beautiful, the Carole King Musical, beginning August 17. The gift is from Clyde and Sandra Strickland of Lawrenceville, long-time patrons of the arts and avid supporters of the local community.
Carr
The Steinway piano, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and unrivaled sound quality, will take center stage for the first time at the Lawrenceville Arts Center (LAC) in the highly anticipated musical production of Beautiful, opening August 17. This marks a momentous occasion for the LAC, as it becomes the first time a Steinway piano will be featured in one of their performances, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to the musical extravaganza.
Furthermore, the partnership with Steinway opens doors for the LAC to offer the Steinway Series, a curated collection of performances that will showcase world-class musicians and artists on the grand stage. Afternoon recitals are anticipated to be held regularly, giving the audience an opportunity to experience the rich melodies of the Steinway piano in intimate and soul-stirring settings.
One of the key highlights of the LAC’s production of Beautiful is the casting choice for the lead role. Unlike many other renditions of the musical, where the character of Carole King is portrayed by a performer who may not play the piano, the Aurora production is setting a new standard. Bethany Irby Okie, who will play the role of Carole King, is not only a talented performer but also an accomplished musician. Her ability to skillfully play the Steinway piano brings an authentic and unforgettable dimension to the production.
The LAC, an institution dedicated to fostering artistic excellence and community engagement, relies on the support of sponsors and patrons to continue its mission. Clyde and Sandra Strickland’s profound gift has paved the way for the LAC to flourish, as the center is still seeking additional sponsors for its 28th season. With a diverse array of programming, including cutting-edge productions such as a field trip for children, Use Light Wire, tributes to iconic artists like Lady GaGa (September 28)and Earth Wind and Fire (October, 17),the LAC offers something for every arts enthusiast.
To ensure the LAC remains a world-class performing arts center, the organization encourages interested parties to consider becoming corporate sponsors or join the board of directors. By doing so, they can play an instrumental role in supporting the arts, nurturing local talent, and enriching the community’s cultural landscape.
The Aurora Theatre’s commitment to excellence, coupled with the addition of the Steinway piano, promises a season of unforgettable performances that will resonate with audiences of all ages. For those who share a passion for the arts and wish to make a difference, becoming a sponsor or joining the board of directors at the LAC is a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in the world of performing arts.

Why elect judges and school boards when the fewest vote?
By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
AUG. 4, 2023 | Take a look at how Gwinnett County voted in the 2022 elections. You might find it interesting, but also find the ramifications far more interesting.
Initially, let’s look at the race for U.S. Senate. In the combined Republican and Democratic primary of 2022 in Gwinnett, there were 130,297 votes cast for the contenders for the seat. But in the General Election that fall, Gwinnett voters cast 298,036 votes for the two candidates. That’s right: over 168,000 more Gwinnettians voted in the General Election for the Senate than in the primary.
Now, let’s turn to the governor’s race in 2022. In the two primaries, the total votes cast amounted to 131,560 for a gubernatorial candidate. But when the General Election came around, a whopping 299,085 people voted, ironically, again more than 168,000 more people voting than in the primary.
That was not an uncommon year. When elections roll around, people always turn out to vote far more in the General Election.
That raises a major question: why did the Georgia Legislature make electing Georgia judges at all levels, and School Board seats, all non-partisan elections, take place at a time when the fewest people vote?
That’s crazy! Why not elect judges and school board members, yes, in non-partisan elections, when the most people vote? Some maintain that we would have better judges and school board members if they were picked by the voters when the most people vote. elections. There seems to be no sound reason why we vote on these non-partisan offices only during primary elections.
Let’s look at the 2022 vote totals in the judicial and school board elections.
We’ll only consider the six Superior Court judicial elections in 2022. The highest of the six races found 119,836 people voting. The smallest totals of the six races totaled 112,236 voters.
As for the school board, there were two district races. One race drew 28,793 votes, and the other drew 23,538 votes in the non-partisan primary.
My, my, my! Our election laws are written so that we elect people to responsible positions, like judges and school board members, when fewer people vote at primary time than cast votes later in the General Election.
Again, we say that this makes no sense.
We slightly change the wording of the first of our Continuing Objectives for Gwinnett County to read: “Move statewide non-partisan judge and school board elections to the date of General Election.”
2024 ELECTION DATES
- Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) — March 23, 2024
- General Primary / Nonpartisan Election — May 21, 2024

Trump continues to break Bible’s commandments

By Andy Brack
CHARLESTON, S.C. | South Carolina can do the nation a favor in its 2024 presidential primary by dumping former President Donald Trump as a candidate. Simply put, he’s a train wreck who is making America small. He doesn’t deserve to be president again.
Brack
In the Palmetto State where conservative Christian voters heavily identify with and vote for Republicans, how can anyone who follows Jesus continue to support someone who has broken most of the Old Testament’s Ten Commandments?
He’s committed adultery (Commandment 7). He’s cheated on past wives multiple times, according to a review of stories by Newsweek. And then there’s the $130,000 hush money payment in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels which exploded into a 34-count indictment of falsifying business records related to the payment. More than a dozen women also have accused him of sexual misconduct, according to New York magazine.
He’s stolen (Commandment 8). Hundreds have alleged that he doesn’t pay his bills, which essentially is stealing. His campaign left Pickens County, S.C., for example, holding a $40,000 bag for unreimbursed costs for his July 1 campaign rally. While there was no contract with the county, taxpayers should be outraged that they’re footing a campaign bill.
He’s lied. (Commandment 9). The Washington Post, for example, tracked more than 30,000 false and misleading statements by Trump in his four years as president.
He has coveted. (Commandment 10). What may have been Washington’s worst-kept secrets were Trump’s jealous rages and overwhelming yearning to possess more than anyone else. “My whole life I’ve been greedy, greedy, greedy,” Trump said in 2016. “I’ve grabbed all the money I could get.”
He hasn’t been ever charged with killing anyone (Commandment 6). But his administration’s health and environmental policies — or lack of policies — contributed to the deaths of thousands, according to a 2021 study cited by Forbes. And he has put money before everything else, breaking the first commandment. He’s worshiped the trappings of power, as highlighted in gold-plated toilets and the country clubs and hotels that flash his name in brazen letters, breaking Commandment 2. He’s taken the Lord’s name in vain ( No. 3) and not kept the Sabbath holy (No. 4).
Now he wants to be president again to get over being a loser in 2020. And three in four Republicans in South Carolina had a favorable view of him in April. According to a Winthrop Poll:
“When it comes to Trump, 43 percent of South Carolinians have a favorable view and 48 percent an unfavorable one. The former president remains much more favorable in his own party with almost three-quarters holding a favorable view as compared to 17 percent an unfavorable one. Conversely, three-quarters of Democrats express an unfavorable view of Trump while 19 percent view him favorably.”
Let’s hope GOP primary voters in South Carolina will open their eyes to other candidates in the months ahead.
Not only is Trump under three major criminal indictments with more expected, but he still thumbs his nose at the nation’s political heritage, continuing to fuel the flames of dissent to stroke his fragile ego.
Just last week, for example, the Associated Press reported that Trump, who eventually condemned the January 6 insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol, has changed his tune. It reported, “any sign of regret or reprimand from Trump has vanished as he prepares to face federal criminal charges for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.”
As an early primary state, South Carolina’s Republican voters can serve as a roadblock to Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. Is he really the best that the Republican Party can offer to America?

Is it time for mandatory laws about neutering?
Editor, the Forum:
Packed shelters and pet overpopulation are topics people need to understand and do something about. I nearly dread opening social media these days because both are filled with posts about dogs and cats who need homes.
We humans have failed our animal friends. We’ve neglected to spay/neuter to prevent unwanted pregnancies’ haven’t carefully considered the responsibility of taking on a four-legged family member ;and too many people give up a pet at the drop of a hat when things become inconvenient. The result is that just about every shelter everywhere is horribly overcrowded and accommodating far more animals than they were meant to house.
And now, even shelters that have been “no-kill” are having to euthanize surplus animals. Yes, surplus. That sounds so cavalier, doesn’t it? What if this were reversed and we were surplus?
Imagine being singled out when we’ve been around too long and walked down a hall to “the” room where we’ll be killed and put into a pile with others who are part of the ‘too many!’
This is what’s happening today. A shelter is supposed to shield from harm, to protect. But when there’s truly no more space, where is the shelter to put newcomers? Overcrowded shelters are becoming animal warehouses. That’s not humane. But neither is killing them. Humane groups have been preaching spay/neuter for years. And even though we have many options today to have this surgery done inexpensively, it’s too often overlooked.
To stop this slaughter of our most loyal friends, maybe it’s time for some mandatory laws that will require the spay/neuter of pet animals and prevent backyard breeding by those who want to make a buck from litters that have a good chance of ending up dead. Humans have shown they won’t always be responsible. Unless we want to continue killing these innocent animals just because they were born, perhaps it’s our legislators turn to start solving the problem.

Police Training Center adds more instructional space
Gwinnett County officials on Monday cut the ribbon for the expansion of the Gwinnett Police Training Center. The $6.2 million expansion adds more than 23,000 square feet of training space, plus instructional and administrative office space to accommodate growth within the department and the population Gwinnett Police serves. The new facility includes three additional classrooms with AV equipment, stadium seating and an electrical emergency back-up generator; a 5,000-square-foot multipurpose room to allow for physical and defensive recruit training; expanded locker rooms and a breakroom.

Be aware: Another rabies bite happened near Dacula
Gwinnett residents should continue to be on guard about animals acting in unusual ways….because of the threat of rabies. On July 28, a rabid raccoon bit a two-year-old who was attempting to pet it near the 2200 block of Brooks Road in Dacula. The raccoon later tested positive for rabies.
County officials advise residents to use caution and avoid animals behaving in unusual ways after another cat tested positive for the rabies virus. Diseases like rabies can be transmitted to humans and pets through bites or scratches from wild animals such as foxes and raccoons.

Child actor Withers got her start in Atlanta
Before Jane Withers became one of the most popular child actors of the 1930s, she performed in vaudeville and on her own radio show in Atlanta. Initially gaining fame in 1934 as the little girl who roughed up Shirley Temple in the film Bright Eyes, Withers maintained a successful career in the film industry for more than a decade.
Jane Withers was born in Atlanta on April 12, 1926. Her mother, Lavinia Ruth Withers, encouraged her child’s interest in theater, and Withers’s career began when, as a toddler, she won an amateur talent contest in Atlanta. By the age of four Withers was performing in her own radio program, Dixie’s Dainty Dewdrop.
In 1932 Withers traveled with her mother to Hollywood, where the young girl was soon performing on children’s radio programs, doing voice-overs for cartoons, and playing bit parts in films, beginning with Handle with Care (1932).
In 1934 Withers won the prized role of the cruel brat Joy in the Shirley Temple vehicle Bright Eyes. Temple was Hollywood’s most popular child star, but audiences enjoyed Withers’s mistreatment of little Shirley, and critics praised the performance.
Often working with a handpicked crew at Fox known as the “Withers Family,” the young actress appeared in 38 films over the next 12 years and starred in a number of comedies and musicals.
As Withers matured into a teenager, both she and her fans became frustrated with the childish projects assigned to her by the studio. Under the name Jerrie Walters, the 15-year-old Withers created the story line for the film that became Small Town Deb (1941), in which she also starred.
During World War II (1941-45), she performed in more than 100 bond and camp tours within the United States and sent her extensive collection of 3,500 dolls, most received as gifts from her fans, on tour to raise money for the war effort.
With the decline of the child-star genre, Withers’s popularity began to fade, and audiences familiar with her work in comedy did not accept her in more serious films. She left the film industry in 1947 and soon afterward married Bill Moss, a Texas oilman and rancher with whom she had three children. The couple divorced in 1954, and the next year Withers married Kenneth Errair, a member of the 1950s vocal group the Four Freshman. Withers and Errair had two children and were married until Errair’s death in 1968.
In 1955, she resumed acting when director George Stevens invited her to take a supporting role in his film, Giant (1956). She continued working as a character actor in film and television, appearing on television in episodes of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The United States Steel Hour, The Love Boat, and Murder, She Wrote, among others. She also played the role of Josephine the Plumber in a long-running series of commercials for Comet cleanser.
An enthusiastic amateur photographer, Withers participated in discussions, hosted by the Kodak Corporation, of her photography. In recognition of her philanthropy, Withers received a 2003 Living Legacy Award from the Women’s International Center. Jane Withers died on August 7, 2021, at the age of 95.

Craggy mountain trail is today’s mystery
Today’s mystery shows a craggy, mountain trail, which appears pretty steep. You figure out where it is, and what it’s called. Send your answers to elliott@brack.net to include your hometown.
Only three people got the most recent MysteryPhoto. The photo came from Cindy Evans of Duluth.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. scored with his answer of “….Umbrella Sky where hundreds of colorful umbrellas are suspended in a mid-air canopy form over Showstreet, the main street through the center of Tennessee’s Dollywood Park. It’s part of Dollywood’s annual Flower and Food Festival, which takes place from April to mid-June each year. Dollywood is a theme park that is jointly owned by Herschend Family Entertainment and country singer/songwriter Dolly Parton. It is located in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., near the gateway to The Great Smoky Mountains. It hosts ~three million guests each year, making it the biggest ticketed tourist attraction in Tennessee.”
Umbrellas in Portugal.
Peel also wrote: “One finds that the idea for Umbrella Sky originated in Portugal, where a company called Sextafeira Producoes created the first Umbrella Sky installation in Agueda. The idea quickly gained popularity and has since spread to cities around the world, including Paris, Madrid, and Tokyo. Dollywood introduced its version of the Umbrella Sky in 2020.”
Only two others also recognized the photo: Steve Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; and George Graf, Palmyra, Va.
