Rubén Garrido and Noé López, who are both 17 years old and players for the Isla Mujeres Club Tiburoneros, have been invited to try out for the Club Tigres of Mexico, after being observed by specialists of the organization recently in Playa del Carmen. The two talented players will visit Monterrey, Nuevo Leon this week, starting today. They are among a dozen young people from the state of Quintana Roo who have been invited, who were born in the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2007.
At the presentation, Ruben Garrido was accompanied by his father, who has the same name, and is a member and manager of the Isla Blanca cooperative, who are involved with the organization of the Tiburoneros. Noe Lopez was unaccompanied, who came from Chiapas six months ago to join the Isla Mujeres soccer team.
Noé de Jesús López Albores was formerly part of the Club Comitan, until he was invited by the Isla Mujeres coach to join the Club Tiburoneros. The father of Rubén Antonio Garrido Álvarez said he has always supported his son's interest in soccer, which has been present since he was young, and he supports his son's plans to play in the First Division of National Soccer.
Coach Gerson Boss, who is Brazilian, said the medium and long term plans for the Club Tiburoneros of Isla Mujeres are to train young people to compete at the national level in the circuits of the fifth, fourth and third professional divisions of Mexican soccer. He has invited local businesses and organizations to be involved and supportive, and participants have included Mayor Juan Carrillo, who is currently running for reelection (so currently not active as mayor), and the Isla Bonita cooperative.

Mr. Raúl González Rubio, passed away on Saturday from a heart condition, who had been a seller of Por Esto newspapers at the municipal market "Audomaro Magaña", in the Cañotal colony, as well as at his home downtown on Juarez Avenue. He combined this work with being a watchman for the Berney Hotel two years ago. He was very much appreciated for his sensitivity to people.
Recently he entered the hospital for medical treatment and review, but his illness worsened and he passed away. His memorial service took place at the casa de El Jacalito, where he lived, and his relatives said his body was taken to the Immaculate Conception church for burial later.
There will be no political debate among the five candidates for Mayor, since only one registered during the registration period, who is the representative for the MORENA and PT parties, Edgar Gasca.

Turtles begin mating and nesting in May. They can be observed mating offshore from Punta Sur during this month, and they nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen outside the facility. This is the dry season when farmers burn brush from their milpa-fields on the mainland, and salt was gathered at Salina Grande lake for hundreds of years, until the mid 1900's.
