Commander of the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center Maj. Gen. Robert McMahon called "perfection the only benchmark."

After three months at Robins, McMahon gave a report on the state of affairs to the 21st Century Partnership.

He told the group of about 40 people that "good isn't good enough."

McMahon talked about issues he says "make him lose sleep at night." He said, "The buck stops with me to make it a safe and secure work environment for our people."

He openly chatted about how he's "aggressively addressing" 39 citations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

McMahon said, "We've got to take what appeared to be lemons, and that is finding the issues we had. We got to turn it into lemonade, which is making this a model base."

A six-bedroom home has been built, debt-free, by local volunteers for adults with developmental disabilities.

Though the open house is from March 19 1-4 p.m., there will be a short ceremony and ribbon cutting about 2 p.m. The home features several "green" features, including geo-thermal heating and cooling and rainwater storage for lawn care.

The house is located at 238 Hatcher Road in Warner Robins (31088), on the 170-acre property of Central Baptist Church.

Joe Bosack Graphic Design Company presented two versions of a Blue Storm logo to the committee. The two versions were posted online and the campus community was invited to give feedback. Of 620 responses, about 55 percent preferred the logo eventually recommended by the committee and approved by Dr. David A. Bell, Macon State’s president. About 33 percent favored the other version. The rest expressed no preference.

As part of his proposal, Bosack told the committee that:
