At trial, Shane Lazenby demonstrated that James Harper, the 76-year-old tractor-trailer driver who died before the case went to trial, lied on his Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration medical exam, took prescription narcotics four times a day, performed breathing treatments for COPD in his trailer and was regularly admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. In 2020, a Gainesville, Georgia jury returned a verdict in favor of Kip Holland's grieving family and awarded $21,029,363 in damages, litigation expenses, and attorney's fees.   Guest Bio: Shane Lazenby Shane Lazenby is the founder and managing member of Lazenby Law Group. After more than a decade of defending those accused of negligence in personal injury cases, Shane decided to reverse course and help the victims of serious injuries. With unparalleled compassion and limitless commitment, Shane quickly learned how much more rewarding and uplifting service as a victim's advocate can be. Shane now focuses his practice on helping the victims of catastrophic personal injury and the families whose loved ones have passed as a result of another's negligence. Shane received his law degree in 1999 at the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. While at Mercer, Shane was a member of the Moot Court Board and the Mercer Law Review where he served as the Eleventh Circuit Survey Editor. Shane also received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, with a minor in Latin, from Mercer in 1994. Following law school, Shane returned to the United States Army, where he served as a Judge Advocate with the 82d Airborne Division. Shane's service included duties as the Regimental Judge Advocate for the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, where he obtained a 100% conviction rate in the most active military justice jurisdiction in the United States Army. Shane was also selected to be the first Judge Advocate from the 82d Airborne Division to deploy to the Global War on Terrorism as counsel to the Commander of the 3rd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Shane was then selected to be the Operational Law Attorney for the 82d Airborne Division Commander in Bagram, Afghanistan, where he served until returning home. In December 2010, Shane retired from the Georgia Army National Guard after 21 years of total military service with the Georgia National Guard, United States Army, and Army Reserve. Shane joined the military in 1989, first serving as a combat medical specialist. In 1993 Shane graduated from Officer's Candidate School and was commissioned as an Infantry Officer. Shane served as an Infantry Platoon Leader, Signal Platoon Leader, and Operations Officer with a Ranger-led, Airborne Long Range Surveillance Unit. He then returned to the active Army for his tour of duty as a Judge Advocate before transitioning into the Army Reserve. In the Army Reserve, Shane continued service as a Judge Advocate, but was then selected for Command as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company Commander for the 335th Signal Command. Thereafter, Shane transitioned back into the Georgia Army National Guard where he returned to his Infantry roots and became the Executive Officer of the 3-108th Cavalry Squadron; his retirement assignment. Shane's service awards include the coveted Ranger tab, the Master Parachutist Badge, the Air Assault Badge, and the Bronze Star for service in the Republic of Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Shane's service as an Army Ranger also included competition in the LTG David E. Grange Best Ranger Competition in 2002. After his return from Afghanistan, Shane transitioned into private practice with a prestigious trial defense firm in Atlanta, Georgia, where he gained invaluable experience and growth alongside some of Georgia's finest defense and plaintiff attorneys. After deciding to depart big city life, Shane settled with his family in Gainesville, Georgia. In Gainesville, Shane continued honing his skills as a partner with a Gainesville firm specializing in the defense of physicians accused of medical malpractice. In his career, Shane has tried more than fifty cases to verdict. His extensive experience was noted when he was selected as an Atlanta Magazine Georgia Super Lawyer Rising Star in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Shane was also pleased to be selected as a Georgia Super Lawyer for Plaintiff's Personal Injury in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019,  a peer-reviewed award limited to only the top 2.5% of Georgia's attorneys. Shane also maintains a coveted AV Rating from Martindale Hubbell – the highest possible rating in terms of both legal ability and ethical standards. Shane was also fortunate to graduate from Leadership Georgia in 2013 and Leadership Hall County in 2016.

Around 200 soldiers from the 108th have been activated from the unit's armories in Calhoun, Dalton, Cedartown, and Canton. The soldiers will undergo pre-deployment training at Fort Stewart, Texas, and Germany before arriving in Kosovo as part of the NATO Kosovo Force (KFOR) for a peacekeeping mission. The deployment is expected to last around eight months. A sendoff ceremony will be held on January 2, 2024, at the Calhoun campus of Georgia Northwestern Technical College. STORY 5: Apartment Complex Under Construction in Canton Madison Communities has begun construction on Madison Canton, a 252-unit apartment complex located near downtown Canton, Georgia. Situated at the intersection of Marietta Road and Jackie Moore Lane, the complex will feature a variety of amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, cyber lounge, and workspaces. Outdoor amenities include a pool and deck with grilling stations, a dog park, a dog wash, and pickleball courts. The units will have modern interiors with granite countertops, walk-in closets, full-sized washers and dryers, and private outdoor patios and balconies. The first units are expected to be complete in the second quarter of 2025.   Commercial: CHEROKEE CHAMBER - INGLES 9   STORY 6: Republican-Drawn Legislative Maps Come Under Fire The Georgia General Assembly's special redistricting session commenced with Democrats and watchdog groups criticizing Republican-backed proposed maps for the state House and Senate, claiming they are unfair to Black voters. Both maps aim to comply with a federal court ruling that declared previous maps violated the Voting Rights Act. Democrats argue that the proposed maps make unnecessary changes beyond the court order, while they have released an alternative map focusing on the specific districts identified in the court ruling. Critics also highlight extensive redrawing and incumbent pairings in the Republican-backed maps for partisan reasons. STORY 7: State Senate study committee recommends repealing CON law A committee in Georgia, comprising lawmakers, healthcare executives, and an insurance industry representative, has recommended repealing the state law governing hospital construction and medical services. The Senate Study Committee on Certificate of Need (CON) Reform believes that the decades-old CON law is hindering advances in healthcare delivery, especially in rural Georgia. The CON law, enacted in 1979 to reduce healthcare costs by avoiding duplication, requires applicants to demonstrate the need for a new medical facility or service in a community. The committee's recommendation for repeal or reform will now be considered by the full Senate during the 2024 legislative session. We'll have closing comments after this.  COMMERCIAL: Henssler 60  SIGN OFF –   Thanks again for listening to today's Cherokee Tribune Ledger podcast. .

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for Nov 3rd      Publish Date:  Nov 2nd Commercial: Henssler :15   From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.  Today is Friday, November 3rd and Happy 73rd Birthday to boxer Larry Holmes  ***LARRY HOLMES*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia Georgia Journalist Jim Wooten Dies at 78 Mableton Mayor says 'Highly Likely' Citizens Will See Higher Natural Gas Prices MUST Ministries Opens Thrift Store in East Cobb All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: CU of GA  STORY 1: Georgia Journalist Jim Wooten Dies at 78 Renowned Georgia journalist Jim Wooten passed away at the age of 78. He had a long and impactful career, serving as an editor and conservative columnist at the Atlanta Journal and later at the Journal-Constitution. Wooten was known as the "voice of conservatives" at AJC and was actively involved in the GOP, offering his time and mentorship to young leaders. In addition to his journalism career, he served in the Georgia Army National Guard, retiring as a colonel. Later in life, he and his wife, Ann, restored an historic home and received an award from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. A memorial service is scheduled for November 11. STORY 2: Mableton Mayor: 'Highly Likely' Citizens Will See Higher Natural Gas Prices The Mableton City Council is considering a 30-year contract with Austell Gas System, which could raise natural gas prices for residents. The contract is one of several franchise fee agreements being considered by Mableton with utility companies. The city collects franchise fees from utilities for using government rights-of-ways, and they are a significant source of revenue for the city. In this contract, Mableton would collect 3% of Austell Gas System's sales receipts, and the company is likely to pass that fee on to customers. The fees, though they may lead to higher utility costs, are necessary for a city that doesn't levy property taxes and require revenue to operate. STORY 3: MUST Ministries Opens Thrift Store in East Cobb MUST Ministries CEO Ike Reighard inaugurated the new MUST Marketplace thrift store in East Cobb. The thrift store was previously located in Marietta and has now moved to a 7,000-square-foot space in the Sandy Plains Village shopping center. The store offers various items, including clothing, books, kitchenware, Christmas decor, sports gear, and furniture. The revenue generated from the thrift store will be reinvested in MUST's programs to support those in need. The store's affordability makes it accessible to clients and helps expand MUST's presence in East Cobb, allowing people to learn more about MUST Ministries and its mission.

The citizen soldiers of the Army's National Guard component often lead different lives from their active duty counterparts. Geographically tied to their state units, they often live out their entire career in their home states spared of the constant moves the rest of the military endures. Guard units in years past have been overlooked for equipment modernization and training. But the wars that the United States has been involved in since 2001 have changed a great deal of those historic missteps. What once was a strategic reserve has now found itself with a much larger operational role. A BETTER PEACE welcomes Mike Flaherty and Pete Helzer, two graduates of the AY20 Resident Class of the Army War College, and guardsmen form Ohio and Oregon respectively. They join podcast editor Ron Granieri to discuss their experiences throughout their careers and during their time in Carlisle. Mike and Pete share what they learned during their academic year and what they hope their active duty counterparts may have learned about the National Guard. This was our first podcast episode conducted remotely during the pandemic as you'll hear noted in the intro. We greatly appreciate Mike and Pete's patience as we worked through the process to utilize this capability. I know folks who are self-employed, own their own companies and well, they certainly have the flexibility to deal with themself as their employer, their business suffers, and in many cases, that can be unrecoverable. Pete Helzer is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Oregon Army National Guard. Mike Flaherty is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Ohio Army National Guard. Both of them are graduates of the AY20 Resident Class of the U.S. War College.  Ron Granieri is an Associate Professor of History at the U.S. Army War College and the Editor of A BETTER PEACE.

Kennesaw, Ga. (Nov. 11, 2009) — A fly-in by an Army Blackhawk helicopter and the blessing of the flags highlighted Veterans Day ceremonies at Kennesaw State University. The event was sponsored by the KSU ROTC Club, the KSU Students in Free Enterprise Team and the KSU Veterans Club. “We invited all area veterans to join us to celebrate the Army’s Year of the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) and honor them for their dedication to training and leading soldiers beneath their rank,” said faculty adviser Gary B. Roberts, professor of management and entrepreneurship in the Coles College of Business and an Army veteran of Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm. In keeping with the NCO theme, Sgt. Maj. Meinrad Kuettel of the 78th Aviation Troop Command of the Georgia Army National Guard gave the keynote speech, after which all veterans were invited to the stage for recognition of their service. Finally, Rev. Keith B. Whitmore, assistant bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta and a former Army chaplain, performed the blessing of the flags ceremony for those who brought an American flag. After the ceremony, guests were invited to get a closer look at the helicopter and a Humvee displayed on the Campus Green and talk with the soldiers who operate them. “As has become a tradition, the ceremony honored former Georgia Tech Army ROTC cadet, 1st Lt. Tyler Hall Brown, who was killed in Iraq in 2004, and all members of our armed forces who gave their lives in defense of our freedom and/or served honorably,” Roberts said.
