Veterinary hospital has altar for pets who have passed away
Altar para animalitos muertos
A Mayan-style altar was erected at the entry area of the animal hospital of veterinarian Delfino Guevara Collazo, which included photos of deceased pets, as well as toys, clothing, and other momentous. Volunteers at the facility ask that the government enforce the Law for Animal Care and Protection to reduce the violence that occurs to some animals, and to provide them with protection. It is noted there are many stray dogs and feral cats in the streets.
Cisterns: Sites for mosquitoes to reproduce
Aljibes, sitios de reproducción de mosquitos
On the former Mundaca Hacienda, there are about a half dozen wells and cisterns, where mosquitoes can breed, which is a concern due to the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. They were built by the Spanish pirate Fermin Mundaca, and visitors to the hacienda often leave the site before completing their tour, due to the large number of mosquitoes. It is also noted that there is a lack of signage to provide information, that the electrical wiring was stolen last year, and that there are many weeds.It is also noted that three Mayan "chultuns" are located on the property, which were underground storage areas for water (but don't have large openings. The article doesn't mention the large swampy lagoon areas on the property.) It is requested that the government fumigate the area and treat the cisterns and wells in an ongoing manner.
Good influx of tourism
Flujo turístico constante
Nov. 2 About 80 percent of the golf carts were rented after noon, and then clouds appeared on the horizon with the arrival of Cold Front #8, but there was little effect on the island and the winds weren't strong. Many luxury boats were anchored near the buoy line of North beach and the beaches were busy.Plans to replace the perimeter fence of the Middle School
Levantarán nueva barda perimetral
For the benefit of the 560 students of Benito Juarez middle school, which was founded 60 years ago, a new fence will be built around the campus next year, with funds from the municipal and state governments. The school will also receive 40 computers next year from the SEQ (state Secretary of Education).Initially there were plans to renovate the current wall, which has an ongoing problem with sinking in the southern and southeastern sections where there are mangroves, but since the wall is many decades old, the decision was made to replace it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Norte #8 is in the region, causing overcast skies, with rainstorms with lightning in the forecast but the winds are only predicted to be 25-35 kph (with stronger gusts during the storms).
