ISLA MUJERES, 29 de febrero.-
A young person crashed an SUV "Ecosport" into the wall of the "Cesar Mendoz Santana" primary school, allegedly while inebriated, abandoning the vehicle and leaving the scene. The accident occurred at 6pm on Sunday, when "Lizandro U." was driving from north to south and lost control of the vehicle, which hit the wall of the school. The municipal traffic police came to the scene and collected information, but in the end no charges were made against the young person... ya que sus padres no lograron ponerse de acuerdo con las autoridades del plantel educativo para la reparación de los daños ocasionados a la barda del colegio. (that says..his parents didn't agree with school authorities to repair the wall, which may be a typo?)

This is the first of three sets of samples that will be taken this year. On July 10th, 2015, the City signed an agreement with the Universidad del Caribe to identify the causes of contamination in Salina Grande lake. On August 18th, the students from different specialties, with assistance from the City, conducted an information gathering campaign among the residents. This was part of the diagnosis stage, to identify social, economic, and environmental factors and practices.
The researchers are being assisted by staff and directors from the municipal Ecology department and ZOFEMAT (Federal Zone agency).
