Ocala News

Hunters in the Hopkins Unit of the Ocala Wildlife Management area should be in the lookout for parts from the crashed military jet which landed in the area a few months back. Specifically they should keep an eye out for fan blades and other parts which have not been found and may prove important to determining the cause of the crash.

So for anyone who thinks it would be cool to have these parts for keepsakes or conversation pieces remember that the military needs to understand why this Harrier crashed and what can be done to avoid another crash in the future. DO NOT keep the jet parts!!

Ocala has a new 911 communications center which is going to reduce response time to 911 calls in Ocala and Marion County. This is welcome news in a community of elder citizens who rely heavily upon the government to assist in emergency situations. Marion County Sheriff officers and emergency responders will be more able to respond with critical care and assistance for those in need.
