Para evitar contratiempos
Manuel VALDEZ ISLA MUJERES, 17 de junio.- Leer más...
To avoid concerns that occurred with the last rains, the Civil Protection Agency began operation of the pumps yesterday morning, to lower lake levels in anticipation of the arrival of Tropical Depression #3. This storm has formed in the Mexican Caribbean, which is expected to bring heavy rains by Monday night. The staff began preparing yesterday morning. (NOAA has information about Tropical Depression #2, see below. We had an hour of rain yesterday at noon, which dropped temperatures nicely, and it has been overcast since. )

Check that they are meeting public health standards
Sanidad inspeccionará las marinas

Checarán se ajusten a las normas de salud pública
Manuel VALDEZISLA MUJERES, 17 de junio.- .Leer más...Without mentioning the date, the head of Regulación Sanitaria of Isla Mujeres, Leonel García Povedano, said they will conduct inspections at the marinas, to detect those who are not connected to the sewage system and are discharging sewage into the sea. He estimated that the majority are not connected to the sewer system, saying can be assumed that that over a dozen marinas dump their sewage into the sea. They have records of three marinas that are connected to the sewer system: Club de Yates de Isla Mujeres, Marina Paraíso and Marina Puerto Isla Mujeres.
Quintana Roo lacks a Marine Manual, and the only standard available from the internet is the Paz Baja California "Manual of Marine Management Practices". It notes that if a marina is at a site that lacks municipal sewage service they must establish a treatment plant, and where there is service, the boats must be connected to a pumping station, which is connected to the system, and marked with an international logo.

Finished the HIV prevention campaign Finaliza campaña de prevención del VIH
Although the organization Brazos Abiertos/ Open Arms did not reach their goal of administering 200 free screening tests for HIV, they conducted 120 tests, gave out 4000 condoms. and provided education during the 2 day campaign this weekend, which included a forum with 100 members of the Navy. There were 15 volunteers from Merida, and some foreigners, who offered testing to 30 people on Friday night downtown, and to 90 more on Saturday in the La Gloria park. There was one positive result, who was referred to their respective clinic, for further testing and psychological support and treatment.

On Monday morning city agencies began cleaning and dredging drains, maintaining the pumps, pruning brush and trees, and removing trash from the streets to prevent flooding like that which occurred 15 days ago. Agencies that were involved included Oficialía Mayor, Secretaría General, Protección Civil, Servicios Públicos, Albergues y Refugios, among other municipal departments, as well as the Comisión de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado (CAPA).

Friday June 21: Summer Solstice
Fri-Sun June 21-23: Whale Shark Festival See below for events
Sat & Sun June 22 & 23 : Super Full Moon (6:50, 7:50, & ~hour later nightly)
Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. BTW the serpent shadow moving on the steps of Chichen Itza occurs with the Equinoxes.
Super Moon of June: The biggest brightest moon of the year
This year the Supermoon will be up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical Full Moon is. This is a result of the Moon reaching its perigree — the closest that it gets to the Earth during the course of its orbit. During perigree on June 23 the Moon will be “only” about 221,824 miles away, as compared to the 252,581 miles away that it is at its furthest distance from the Earth (apogee). Source link

The Morning Edition has newspaper photographs and headlines.
This Afternoon Edition has translated articles, events, and original photos with the "Around the Internet in the Past 24 Hours" section.
Both blogs always have links to the original articles.
Usually if there is a headline, but no translation, it was probably published in another paper recently, and the information was translated.in a previous post, usually in the past couple days.

Actually, the concept of employing the pumps in the salinas on a somewhat regular basis may not be a bad idea .... it would certainly help to keep them cleaner.
