After nearly 15 years on display, some artifacts representing Macon's rich music history will return to their owners.

Jessica Walden is no stranger when it comes to Macon music -- especially artists who grew up around the block.

"We all have enjoyed the music of the Allman Brothers, Otis Redding, Little Richard, and so many who have walked the streets and called Macon home," she says.

She's the daughter of music legend, Alan Walden, who managed Otis Redding and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among others.

"My first memories are with this band, either on the hip of my father or mother, listening to them play live," she says, holding a toddler sized tour jacket.

"We're gonna hold on to this as long as we can," she says.

For many years, it hung in a display case at the Music Hall of Fame.

"This little bitty jacket fit in it really nice, next to my dad's, you could actually see father and daughter," says Walden.

Tennis pro, leukemia survivor, charity fund raiser.

Now Jaime Kaplan may have a new line for her resume: Macon city council member.

The two council members who represented North Macon's Ward 5 say they've nominated Kaplan to fill the spot recently vacated by Beverly Blake.

Kaplan spent years on the pro tennis circuit, once reaching Wimbledon's round of 16.

Now she's tennis coach at Stratford Academy.

In an email, council member Lauren Benedict says she and Nancy White have agreed to pick Kaplan for the seat. The full council must approve.

A new Ward 5 Post 3 council member will be selected in November.

Macon police say a man broke into a church at 751 Key St.

A bag containing frozen food and various other items taken from the Central Church of Christ was found next to a door at the scene, says a police news release.

Police say 22-year-old Adolphis Lindsey Ray was found walking outside the church when officers arrived on the scene.

Ray had a digital camera and wireless Internet device in his pocket, according to the release. The church pastor said all of the items stolen was taken from the church, says police.

The release says, Ray was arrested and has been charged with one count of burglary.
