Mid Georgia Ambulance says it wants to make Bibb County a heart-saving community.

It offers CPR training on the third Saturday of each month at North Macon Park.  It also teaches private groups who want to take a class.

The class is $5 per person, which covers the cost of the American Heart Association CPR certification card. 

With the summer around the corner, Mid Georgia Ambulance spokesman Chuck Asbell says he wants to make sure people stay safe while enjoying the weather.

"If someone who is trained in CPR is there, then that down time is minimal," he says. "The person goes down and they witness it, they see it happen and they can immediately start CPR and it increases their chances for survival phenomenally."

For those who can't take a class, Mid Georgia Ambulance has created an iPhone application that tells you what to do in case of emergency and gives you step-by-step instructions of CPR.

If you drive on Spring Street in Macon, you may have noticed a billboard with two political figures and a religious image.

On one side, it shows state Sen. Robert Brown and President Barack Obama, on the other, the Good Friday image of the cross draped with a red robe and thorns.

The billboard says: "Rise Up, Wise Up! Build a New Macon."

"Art is open to interpretation," Sen. Brown says of the billboard.

Brown says he's been incorporating themes in his billboards since January; this month's is an Easter theme.

When asked about the message, Brown told 13WMAZ that it shows his support for President Obama and it shows the two are Christians.

He says the billboards have gotten a lot of attention -- mostly positive.

Brown wouldn't comment on whether he'll run for mayor this year, or whether the billboards are connected to his potential campaign.

Police say a Macon man broke into a former neighbor's apartment and tried to rape her.

A news release said 37-year-old Darrell Lowe forced his way into the woman's apartment Thursday afternoon and tried to assault her.

The release says it happened around 3:30 p.m at the Autumn Trace Apartments at 1745 Rocky Creek Road.

Two Macon police officers later arrested Lowe behind the apartments.

Lowe is now in the Bibb County jail, charged with criminal attempt to commit rape and burglary.
