Historic certification with white flag at North Beach on Nov. 13th
Histórica certificación
La que tendrá lugar el próximo día 13, con bandera blanca en Playa Norte
Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 10 de noviembre.-
Everything is ready for the historic raising of the white flag over North Beach on Thursday, November 13 at 4pm. It will take place at the end of Hidalgo Street between the Chimbos palapa and the Leydi palapa. This certification is expected to be followed by the Blue Flag certification, and is the positive culmination of a large number of people, working with the mayor, Agapito Magana Sanchez.
It is remembered that on September 24 & 25 two auditors from the Mexican National Institute of Standardization and Certification conducted an assessment of compliance at North Beach with the Official regulations of Norma Oficial Mexicana NMX-AA-120-SCFI-2006. The result of the evaluation was positive, and on Thursday the White Flag certifying compliance of North Beach with the criteria will be delivered to Mayor Agapito by the General Director of the Mexican Institute of Standardiaztin and Certification, Viviana Fernández Camargo.
This is the first time in the history of the island that this certification has been obtained, and this beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, at one of the best tourist destinations in Mexico and in the world.

DELITO
Buscan la Policía Judicial a incendiario
0 11 de noviembre de 2014The Judicial Police have no clues about who is responsible for burning a motorcycle Saturday night around midnight in the colonia Caridad del Cobre. Although the neighbors intervened in a timely manner, little could be done to control the fire which spread quickly and consumed the entire motorcycle within minutes.
The owner of the 2011 Yamaha FZ (250cc), Felix Badillo Trejo, said he was unaware of who might be behind this terrible act of vandalism, saying he has no problems with anyone. It was determined that the fire was no accident, but was set on purpose, because beside the burnt remains un mechero was found that was used to quickly spread the flames
The police commander, Arturo Medina Parra, said the have no clues or suspicions so far about who was behind this, but there is an ongoing investigation.

The area under construction is ~one mile (~2km) long, from the vehicle ferry terminal to the naval hospital. A taxi driver commented that this work should have been started in September to avoid affecting the high season for tourism. Residents recall that the entire circuit of road was repaved by the state government after Hurricane Wilma in 2005, and a few months later Aguakan opened up the road on the eastern side.

Isla Animals campaign for the upcoming November Clinic-Spay-Neuter-Educate
Sally Margolis on FB....
Sally Margolis on FB....
Hi everyone, I just posted a campaign for an Isla Animals
November Spay/Neuter & Education clinic. The only way to make
change is through education of pet
owners and particularly education of the children-and spay/neuter
campaigns. At the last big IA campaign 220 animals were spayed/neutered.
There will be an education station at this clinic and Isla Animals is
also set to go to the schools. Please continue to support an
organization that has made great strides with 15 years of steady service
to the island. And please, please help us share this campaign! Thank
you! "This is Lucky's campaign, let's make it everything it can be." -
