ISLA MUJERES, 29 de enero.- .
Wednesday afternoon, the birthday XCVII (97th) of the late musician and composer Virgil "El Chino" Fernandez was commemorated , for his contributions to the cultural heritage of Isla Mujeres. He was born on the island and is known for songs such as Mujercita Linda, El Reloj, Isla Mujeres Bella and Mujer Isleña. These songs are much appreciated by Island musicians and audiences alike, and with the rescuing and acknowledgement of this cultural legacy, new generations will learn the lyrics about the bohemia that characterized Isla Mujeres for many years. As part of this event, the president of the DIF, Marthy Vargas Magana gave a guitar to the Director of Culture for use in their musical education workshops. The musician's son, Virgilio Fernández Magaña, represented his family, and said they appreciated the tribute.Leer más...

It was announced the the water company Aguakan will assist with this educational work by providing educational materials, and tours of the sewage water treatment plant at the southern part of the island. The program will continue all week, and then move to the elementary school Andres Quintana Roo.

Demolished Telmex posts in colonia La Gloria

Derriban postes de Telmex
A worker was hired to cut a coconut tree by the wife of the leader of the taxi union. The tree unexpectedly fell onto the Telmex telephone line, damaging two poles, and affecting telephone service to dozens of families in La Gloria. One of the poles was completely broken and separated from its base and was only held up by the cables, while the other remained upright, but is too damaged to continue to be used. Officers with the Municipal Preventive Police (PMP) and personal from Telefonos de Mexico arrived to the accident site, and apparently the wife of the union leader was held responsible for the damage.
Customers whose service was affected were complaining of social networks such as Facebook. One of the company's employees said the restoration of the telephone service and replacement of the poles requires specialized personnel, who are expected to arrive in upcoming days to do this work., and at the latest it will be done next week.

Fisherman suffers decompression

Pescador sufre descompresión

Por Carlos Gasca.-
Fisherman Niger Rosado Moreno, 43, of the cooperative Makax in Isla Mujeres, suffered symptoms of decompression while diving ~12 nautical miles from the island. The fisherman made more than two dives, but apparently did not respect the dive tables and subsequently suffered a serious decompression that caused pain in his joints, as well as nausea. He was given urgent treatment in the hyperbaric chamber, after he was taken to the unit shortly after 3:30pm, and minutes later he was assessed by the attending physician of the chamber.
According to the fisherman himself, this was the first time he had experienced the problem of decompression, but after several sessions in the chamber, he improved and was discharged. It is noted that the hyperbaric chamber was returned to operation a couple months ago when the mayor promised the fishing community that he would revive this service. -

The association proposes that the arrival of cruise ships and their purchasing power would improve the economy of the island, and would affect development in the Continental Zone with new jobs. The ships would require boats to transfer passengers to the Bay and the Island, and to anchor offshore. There is no date given for the possible arrival of cruise ships, which have not arrived since 1997 when there was an unexpected accident by the cruise ship Leeward on the coral of the Manchones reef, after which their arrivals were cancelled.
