The head of the union said the drivers will have a site to load and unload, and an information booth in the building.
The exact opening date was not confirmed, but he said there are tentative plans to open the terminal next week. The taxi leader said the API representative explained on of the reasons is the installation of steel mesh around the building and the security cameras.
He mentioned that they also discussed the issue of the tricycle porters, and it was said that they will only have access to unload cargo from the boats to private cars, but will not have access to the luggage or to the passengers.
In conclusion, he said all that remains is to have a dialogue with the Mayor in regard to security in the new facility.

In response to complaints, Valentín Arciniega Aguilar, Director of the IMSS, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social office in Isla Mujeres, said he had a talk with the worker to change his attitude. The director told the worker he should arrive at work uniformed, clean shaven, and with a haircut appropriate for the work, but most importantly he must change his attitude, or face possible suspension, because beneficiaries do not deserve such treatment. He also talked to the worker's union representative, because they do not want to violate his rights as a worker.

The Navy assisted a crew member aboard the fishing vessel "Juana Bautista" when he had medical problems while the boat was approximately 76 kilometers north of Isla Mujeres. Aid was immediately sent after the Naval Commander received a distress signal via SISMEP (the Satellite Monitoring and Location System for Fishing Vessels) from the boat.
The Ocean Patrol vessel was immediately dispatched to render assistance. Upon locating the fishing vessel, a medical examination was conducted on the crew member and it was determined that he had a broken left collarbone which required care in a hospital.
He was brought to the Naval dock in a Defender class boat of the Isla Mujeres Search and Rescue Unit, and he was transferred to the Naval station in Puerto Juarez. where a Red Cross ambulance was waiting, which took him to a private hospital in Cancun for the medical care he needed.

There were ten participants enrolled, but only eight were present, and it is hoped that more people will join the event. The state DIF coordinator in charge of Adapted Sports explained, "These clinics are not only aimed at residents who have a disability and are in wheelchairs, but at all people who want to learn everything about wheelchair basketball, including coaches, assistants and players of the sport in general." He added that in addition to teaching people with disabilities to practice the sport, it is also motivation to get ahead in life in general, not just in sports.

Closed circuit security cameras at Marine Terminal

Tendrá circuito cerrado la terminal marítima
0 19 de septiembre de 2014The Maritime terminal was built with an investment of 30 million pesos by the federal government through the Ministry of Communication and Transport (SCT). Although no date has been set for the opening, operations are expected to begin next week.
The leader of the taxi union, Eduardo Peniche Rodríguez, said the operation of the new terminal is expected to eradicate the problem of street vendors and commisionistas, because many of the sales or rentals will take place within the terminal. He said the new closed circuit system will offer improved security for the people arriving to and departing from the island

Construction on the sidewalks: Impunity
Impunemente, construyen sobre aceras] Ver mas
Por Esto recalls a previous article about individuals whose porches and planters have invaded the sidewalks downtown, with complaints about the lack of intervention from the government, despite regulations about this. The most recent example occurred a few months ago on the southern part of Juarez, across from the Naval base and near the CFE, where a house has moved a wall and invaded nearly the entire pedestrian area.

New veterinary clinic
Nueva clínica veterinaria[+] Ver mas
On Monday, the civil association Clínica Veterinaria de Isla Mujeres opened the doors of their hospital to the public. The facility for cats and dogs will be used for research, education, and to promote the care and protection of pets. The General Director, Dr Delfino Guevara said they have two immediate objectives: research and to promote the care and protection of pets. The facility consists of 192 square meters, which sits on an area of 434 square meters. .
The veterinarian said they are no longer participating in the dog sterilization campaigns because 90% of the dogs have owners, while 90% of the cats are strays. They are intensifying their campaign to catch and sterilize them, to control the feline population.
The hospital and the land are owned by the civil association, and they will subsidize part of the operation, to assist poor people who need medical care for their pets. Dr. Delfino said, "If they are buying them food, it is only fair that once a year they invest in a medical exam of their animal, but for those who cannot attend to their animal for lack of money, they should not have one." “si tienen para comprarles alimentos, lo justo es que inviertan una vez al año para la revisión médica de su animal, pero para aquellos que no pueden atender al animal por falta de dinero, pues que no lo tenga”,
The facility is located in colonia Salina on Jesus Martinez Ross avenue and is equipped with advanced technology including x-ray, surgical area and equipment, a pharmacy, and an area to care for dogs and cats. There is also an area for the exhibition of animals who are available for adoption.
There are various young volunteers involved in this project developed by the association, including an intern who is about to leave with a scholarship to study at the University of Yucatan, in order to join the workforce. Many foreign students do social work in Isla Mujeres, and this facility will be available for research work in the study of zoonosis.
Dr. Delfino Guevara gave the following statistics about the number of sterilizations of male and female dogs and cats, with the assistance of foreign volunteers: In 2000 there were 132 patients, in 2001, 351; 2003, 134; 2004, 200; 2005, 120 animals. In 2007, efforts began to focus on the sterilization of cats, with support from other organization, in the face of governmental indifference.
Actually, to Delfino, it seemed to be a "vacilada" (joke/farce) to open a social clinic at Mundaca, but not to have it equipped with the necessities, and to just end up with the pets of the people.En la actualidad, le pareció a Delfino una “vacilada” que abriera una clínica social en Mundaca, pero no estaba equipado con lo necesario y todos fueron a parar con él las mascotas de la gente.
The total number of animals sterilized from 2007-2013 were 1,278 cats and 584 dogs, with 98% of the cats being strays and 2% having owners, while all the dogs had owners. Therefore a decision was made to focus attention on the sterilization of cats.
In 2000, with the opening of the first veterinary practice, the most common diseases were infectious, but now there are broader expectations of treatment, including complex metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, as well as canine & feline hepatitis, and diseases of the organs such as kidney or heart disease or cancerous tumors, reports the vet.
He explained that the major services of the hospital are educational, for the reasons given above, and obviously the medical service is fundamental. For this the scientific method is fundamental, which he said has guided their work for 14 years, and will be the foundation for educating owners.
He founded three precepts that convinced donors to give resources for the realization of this hospital: That medicine must be accessible to all. The philosophical concept of humanity that as we evolved to be the dominant species we are responsible for the conservation of the environment. And the moral concept that we understand the pain and suffering of animals and we are entrusted to care for them.
