Sailboat engine failure strands family on Isla Blanca
Emergencia
Recala familia de náufragos en Isla Blanca
0 07 de noviembre de 2015 By Juan Manuel Trinidad
An American family of two adults and three children were stranded on the beach of Isla Blanca known as "el Faro del Cabezo". They left St. Petersburg, Florida two weeks ago, and five days ago their sailboat engine failed, leaving them adrift, until they became stranded on the beach.
They were assessed and treated by Red Cross paramedics, who arrived on the site after being notified thru the emergency phone number. The family was in good health, so they were taken to the offices of the Puerto Juarez Harbor Master's office. The US Consulate was notified, and the National Institute of Migration will determine their legal status. The Port Authorities said that efforts to rescue the damaged boat will be done in conjunction with Navy of Mexico.
The Americans on board the sailboat were: Regina Marie, 38, originally from Ohio; Alan Jameson 43, originally from Illinois, Annalise Victoria Marie, 2, originally from Maine; Kali Ivy Marie, 17, originally from New Jersey; and Lilith Rhiannon, 14, originally from Pennsylvania.

From Tvisla Mujeres ( link)Rain causes large amount of absenteeism in Isla Mujeres schools
Strong rains and winds in the early hours of Friday morning caused many students to be absent from the preschool-kindergartens and the grade schools of Isla Mujeres. The primary school "Andres Quintana Roo" reported 70 percent absenteeism, while the grade school "Julio Sauri" reported 30 percent. The Directors of both schools said the staff continued to work and hold classes normally, despite the reduced number attending. The primary school "Cesar Mendoza Santana" reported 35 percent of their students were absent, and the middle school "Benito Juarez" reported that only 20 percent of the students were absent.

Author Claudia Celis spoke to Isla Mujeres middle school students at their school "Benito Juarez" about her book, which is recommended by the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) for middle school students. She discussed the importance of communication and recommended reading as a family to strengthen good relations.
She spoke about the impact of technology and the internet, and how their usage needs to be controlled and monitored. She said parents lack the knowledge to moderate their use, and that teachers can be helpful with this. She said things are out of control on the internet, and young people get into dangerous situations, because there is a lack of knowledge about the proper use of technology.
She recommends making reading a priority, and says she will continue writing in her usual style, because she feels more comfortable telling simple stories. She said, "There are those who venture forward with these advanced technologies, because they are very familiar with them. That is not my situation, and I will continue down the path that is familiar to me as a writer."
Hundreds of students were in attendance, and representatives of local government in the areas of education, writing, and teaching, as well as special guests. A signed copy of the book was presented by the author to Crisant Pastrana Vega, who is the best reader at the middle school and who said some words of admiration.

The representative of the Human Rights Commission, Martha Puc Laies, said her office has two cases concerning children's rights. One concerns a custody dispute over a three year old between the parents, and the other concerns the closure of the children's park "Las Tortugas", which lawyer Roberto Martinez Aragon alleges violates the rights of children who need this park.

The voice of Joel Montero will dress up the Mexican Caribbean
The Mexican tenor returns to his native Quintana Roo to interpret the best of his repertoire in the framework of the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean 2015
After performing with great success in the main opera houses of Europe, the Mexican tenor, Joel Montero, returns to his native State of Quintana Roo in the framework of the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean 2015 which takes place in the Mexican Caribbean from the 3rd through the 22nd of November.
The singer, born in Chetumal, and who has opened his way to success through perseverance, his art and his mastery of his voice as an musical instrument, has been described by international media as a passionate singer with a powerful voice and emotional acting which has gained for him a privileged place on the stages of the Old Continent.
Among his awards and recognitions are the special award given to him at the international singing competition “Monserrate Caballe” in Andorra and the “Luigi Infantino” prize in Lugoj, Rumania.
Montero was part of the Opera Studio at the theater in Zurich, Switzerland and the State Theater in Meinigen, Germany and has been an invited soloist at different theaters in various cities in Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Finland and England, appearing, as well, with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Next 14th of November, thanks to the Festival of Culture of the Caribbean, the Isla Mujeres public will be delighted by the voice that is conquering Europe when Montero will appear with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Quintana Roo, making all of his fellow Quintana Roo residents proud.

Celso Piña will enchant the Caribbean
This musician from the mountain region will be performing at the Caribbean Culture Festival 2015 in Quintana Roo which takes place Nov. 3-22. Celso Piña, better known as "the rebel of the accordion", will have the Mexican Caribbean dancing to la cumbia on November 14th, in Isla Mujeres, sharing the stage with Pato Machete.
The rhythms of this singer, composer, and arranger and icon of Mexican popular music in recent years, has confirmed his performance the festival. They will be bringing their distinctive sound that has enriched the cumbia with touches of other popular rhythms such as ska, reggae , rap and hip hop.
A born Musician, self-taught skill on the accordion, Pina provides a value beyond what is musical, and he represents an emblem of cultural Mexico today. This was demonstrated in the documentary film which he starred in, for the channel 11-one, and reinforcing the image immortalized in literature by Garcia Marquez, dancing to the rhythms of cumbias which are proudly made in Mexico.
So, the festival of culture in the Caribbean, it enriches the purest style "Sonidero" with the presence of the musician that since 25 years ago, has been one of the stars of the stage of the genre of cumbia.

We expect to treat/vaccinate/spay/neuter 1000 cats & dogs with the cost of surgery at just $10us per dog. This may be the only time any of these animals see a vet. We can treat the existing animals, vaccinate others against disease, curb the population growth, and educate pet owners on proper animal care and make a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! We have the knowledge, experience, volunteers, and heart to make it happen. We are asking for all of your help to raise funds to make the campaign a reality.
