Retienen motos y carritos de golf  que son conducidos por jóvenes y menores de edad

ISLA MUJERES, 11 de agosto.- On Saturday the police began checking documentation of drivers,  and they are holding the vehicles of those without valid driver's licenses. The vehicles will be held in the police impound yard until the owner arrives with their documentation, and signs it out. Fines will not be applied and they are focusing on scooters, motorcycles, and golf carts, particularly those with young drivers.
    The Mayor spoke out against the vandalism and crimes that have been recently perpetrated by youths in Isla Mujeres, admonishing parents to take responsibility for their children and encouraging citizens to report any acts of vandalism or delinquency. The impounding of vehicles is considered a preventative measure and is a response to recent events involving youths.
  The Mayor emphasized that this is not a "witch hunt" for economic purposes, but it is a measure to prevent crime. He said they will also be stopping drivers who are speeding. Drivers, especially motorcyclists,  are reminded to carry their documents with them.

A menor precio del oficial



Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 11 de agosto.-Members of established tour booking agencies continue to complain about illegal vendors who they are selling tours up to 40% below the official price of $125 usd. They say the vendors lack proper permits and are selling the tours for as low as $65 dollars, from temporary modules. The Agencies say this is unfair because they are paying taxes, rent, fees and other overhead. The whale shark swimming season is from May to September, and tourists are arriving in  Holbox, Isla Mujeres, and Playa del Carmen to participate in this unique opportunity.

    Aseguran a 11 menores de edad

    0 11 de agosto de 2013

    Por Carlos Gasca-Quequi At two am there was an alleged fight outside a nightclub called "Karma", and several young children between the ages of 14 and 17 were taken to the social service agency where it was noted some had alcohol on their breath. They were turned over to their parents who promised to take disciplinary action. The police chief said it important for parents to be involved with their children and to know what kind environment they are involved in, to avoid them becoming involved in wrongdoing later.

Trash is accumulating at the Transfer Facility
Se acumula más basura en la estación de transferencia[+] Ver mas
The  state moved ~70 tons of trash to the mainland, which removed 70% of the waste that had accumulated at the Trash Transfer facility.  The City of Isla Mujeres hired trucks to speed up the removal of more that 1500 tonnes of trash, and there are ~400 more tonnes. There are increased amounts of trash generated during the summer holiday season, with 20-25 tonnes accumulating daily, which can cause a bad impression with tourists visiting the area of  Punta Sur.

Critter events...
It is currently the season for swimming with the whale sharks, and turtles are mating offshore & nesting on the eastern beaches. The mating is visible by day, especially off Punta Sur, the South Point. The nesting happens in the wee hours, and there are Tortugranja personnel, volunteers, and Naval staff monitoring the beaches to prevent people from disrupting them, and to gather and transport the eggs for incubation.
       By far, most of the turtles nesting in Isla Mujeres are Green turtles (called Blancas in Spanish), and the second most common are the huge Loggerheads, and there are some Hawksbills.  The Green turtles take ~60 days to hatch and are held in the water tanks at the Tortugranja until the hatchlings are released by the public at events at dusk on Media Luna or Guadalupana. These events will occur periodically until early October and are usually announced a day or two in advance. They are rescheduled if the sea is rough.
    Lately there have been many rays, in addition to many whale sharks. From MVC, we have been seeing dolphins from the balcony,  and some large fish while snorkeling offshore. Lotsa mama turtles visiting our beach lately! 

 There are small red crabs that migrate to & from the sea in July-August, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle.
  Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.

Kristan Barber  Marisa of the Liberty School is giving private Spanish conversation classes. One hour $80 pesos. At the Liberty School in front of the police station.
Yesterday afternoon, when we were at the Soggy Peso enjoying lobster tacos, cold beer, and fine company, a storm rolled through. There was a VERY loud lightning strike...and a little while later we heard there had been a palapa fire in Aeropuerto, which was extinguished. The Aeropuerto road was still closed when we headed home. Photo below by Freddy...thanks!

Que me parta un rayo...concedido, por suerte la apagaron.
