Marietta Police do not suspect foul play in the death of a 3-year-old boy pulled from a lake Wednesday afternoon in the 1250 West Apartment complex off Powder Springs Street. The child was discovered near the shoreline of Reeves Lake about 3:30 p.m., about half an hour after the child’s mother, 30-year-old Shanique Kedine Henry, called to report him missing, police said. A devastated Henry answered her apartment door Thursday afternoon, but said she wasn’t ready to speak about the incident. She confirmed her son’s name was Josh, the youngest of her three boys. “He was my baby,” Henry said, fighting back tears. The grieving mother, whose husband did not come to the door, said they were in the process of making funeral arrangements for their child. Officer Chuck McPhilamy, spokesman for Marietta Police, said first responders worked to resuscitate the boy for about 40 minutes. He was transported to Kennestone Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

COLUMNIST I WILLIAM LAKO It’s not an estate tax issue, but an estate plan issue $20K CAR SWEEPSTAKES or the last several weeks I’ve been detailing how the tax reform law, F commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, will be changing your lives. Brackets have been lowered and exemptions eliminated. Most everyone saw a “pay raise” in February as the new withholding tables came into play and businesses and corporations have ample opportunities for tax savings. One significant change in the tax law was the dou- bling of the exemption amount for the federal estate, gift, and gener- LAKO ation-skipping transfer taxes. For the next seven years the exemption for federal estate, gift and generation-skipping taxes has a new $10 million base that is annually adjusted for inflation. For 2018, that equates to $11.21 million. If you’re mar- ried, you have a benefit called portability, meaning you can use any remaining exclusion amount your deceased spouse left. So, for a couple, that’s $22.42 mil- lion that won’t be subject to estate tax.
