Agapito Magana promotes patriotism
Students, City officials, and islanders attended the first flag raising ceremony organized by the Mayor, which took place Monday morning in the courtyard of the City Hall, and he read the month's 'efemérides'. (Which translates as "ephemeris" which is defined as: a table or data file giving the calculated positions of a celestial object at regular intervals throughout a period. But the November Ephemeris astrological tables didn't look like something a Mayor would read aloud, and when Googling in Spanish I found that "Efemérides Noviembre" are lists which give historical events that occurred during this month.)

Leer más...As a result of the passage of strong winds from the north-northeast, a great deal of seaweed was stirred up and went into the nets of the fishermen. Some said that this is no reason to be discouraged, and in the past this has been a good sign regarding the upcoming lobster catch. They said November through February are good months for catching lobster, because the north-northwest winds generated by the cold fronts cause the lobsters to walk near the coast of Isla Mujeres, and all the lobster fishermen of Quintana Roo benefit during these times. They are hoping to have good production before the end of the year so they have the resources to buy Christmas gifts.

Rain on Sunday affects turnout of tourists

Poor weather is bad for seamen
Clima feo desgracia a lancheros Ver mas
The weather caused a decline in nautical tourism, whose activities were suspended on Sunday by the Harbor Master, and resumed on Monday, but with the waves and gusts of wind, activities were limited, which restricted trips to Isla Contoy and para sailing. Trips to El Farito and Garrafon were allowed, but there were few tourists interested in tours, because there were cloudy skies threatening sporadic rains. Tourists opted for activities other than going to the beach or on boats, such as shopping.
Campaign banners used to keep rain out of roofs & entrances

Flooding caused by intense rains on Sunday prompted citizens to use makeshift measures to keep their homes dry. On Monday morning the reporter saw items that had been stuffed under doors to keep out water, which included bags, laundry, and banners. Some used large political advertisements to protect the roofs of their houses and to avoid leaks. The most affected neighborhood was Miraflores, where people were mopping to keep water out of their homes. The reporter blames lack of maintenance to pumps and absorption wells.
Irregular garbage collection irritates residents & benefits strays

Residents have complained that when the collection truck is late, it gives dogs the opportunity to get into the trash, and if the trash is strewn around, it clogs drains during rain. There is a lack of vehicles for transporting trash, and the trash transfer plant has not been emptied completely yet.
Dental Health Week in Isla Mujeres
Semana de Salud Bucal en Isla Mujeres Ver mas
On Monday, the Second National Oral Health Week began with free dental services being provided at the General Hospital for problems such as cavities, loose teeth, and gum problems. The Director of the Hospital, Dr. David Valenzo Loaeza said these services are available from Nov 4-8 and said oral diseases are a severe health problem, because 75% of people who go to a doctor have dental health problems such as cavities, swelling, loose teeth, or gum problems. Studies have shown that oral disease is associated with increased risk for developing diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The theme this year is "Building a Happy Smile", and they will be encouraging preventative and curative follow up through out the year.
The services this week are free, and the general public are invited to go to their nearest health center and participate in activities about plaque detection, brushing technique, flossing, fluoride application, examination of gums and teeth, revision of dental hygene, as well as extractions, temporary treatments, and X Rays.
It is recommended that people brush after every meal, including tongue, gums and cheeks, promote frequent brushing within their family, including the use of flossing and mouthwash, and change their toothbrush every three months and visit the dentist three times a year.
