Port reopened for small boats but...
Some restrictions maintained for safety
Reabren el puerto, pero…
Mantienen restricciones por seguridad
Lanrry PARRAISLA MUJERES, 16 de noviembre.-
After nearly three days of closure for boats under 40 feet, the Harbor Master reopened the port today (Monday) at 1:30pm, with caution advisories, due to the presence of isolated showers. The port had been closed for small boats since 8pm on Friday, leaving hundreds of vessels stranded at the docks and shores of Isla Mujeres. Navigation was virtually impossible on Saturday and Sunday, due to the rain and winds which gusted up to 60 kilometers per hour.
Veneration of Pope Saint John Paul II
Hundreds of parishioners gathered at the Church of the Virgin of Immaculate Conception
Veneran a San Juan Pablo II
Cientos de feligreses se dieron cita en la iglesia Virgen de la Inmaculada Concepción
Lanrry PARRAISLA MUJERES, 16 de noviembre.-
Hundreds of parishioners went to the Church of the Virgin of Immaculate Conception downtown to see, touch, and venerate the relics of Pope Saint John Paul II, which were on the isle for about 14 hours. They arrived at 8:30 am and departed at 10:30, while touring various locations around the Yucatan Peninsula.
The local priest, Raul Sanchez Alonso, explained that this is part of a worldwide tour and the relics arrived in Quintana Roo from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and are being exhibited at localities including Chetumal, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, and Isla Mujeres. Next, the relics will be taken to several towns in the state of Yucatan, and later they will be transported to Canada, and then to New Your, and they will continue to tour around the world.
Brother Miguel Hernandez explained that the relics have three degrees. The relics of the third degree have touched a saint, of the second degree belonged to a saint, and relics of the first degree are part of the saint's body. In the case of the relics of St. John Paul II, this consists of a drop of blood from the assassination attempt on the Pope on March 13 during the 1980's. He said that when a rosary or prayer card touches the relics of John Paul II, which occurred with hundreds of Catholics in Isla Mujeres, they became relics of the third degree.

Big campaign by state to eliminate mosquito breeding areas
By orders of the Governor, Roberto Borge Angulo, the green light has been given to begin the Mega Brigade by the state to kill mosquitoes that transmit Dengue and Chikungunya in the three areas that make up the municipality of Isla Mujeres: the island, the Continental Zone, and the Agricultural (Agrícola) area.This is being conducted in the ten municipalities of the state. (Since Q. Roo recently added Puerto Morelos as another municipality, now there are eleven.) As part of the Tour of Health, this program was launched in Isla Mujeres on Monday morning from the dome in Rancho Viejo, on the mainland, and then fumigation began in that area of the municipality.
The Tour of Health also provides free medical services to ensure good health for all the residents of Quintana Roo. At the Health Fair they will provide free services to the population including measuring weight, height, waist size, glucose levels, blood pressure, and hemoglobin, to screen for problems such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Other services include administering vaccines against influenza and pnuemonia, and PSA testing for men over 45, as well as nutritional counseling, noninvasive cardiac assessments, and psychological counseling.
Names of officials in attendance are listed, who emphasized that the state remains vigilant in preventing mosquito borne diseases by fogging and fumigating against the larvae, and they noted eliminating their breeding areas near homes is the best method of prevention. They asked people to review their yards for objects that could collect water and remove them, and to cover their water tanks and other containers, as well as cleaning out watering bowls or troughs for domestic animals.

Concerns about mosquitoes

Temen por brotes de moscos
0 17 de noviembre de 2015 By Carlos Gasca
Some residents in the colonias of Cañotal and La Gloria have asked the Ministry of Health to intensify actions to combat Dengue and Chikungunya, because they are concerned that the recent rains will cause outbreaks of mosquitoes, who transmit these diseases.
There has been controversy on social networks concerning claims that there have been cases of Chikungunya which have not been acknowledged by the Hospital Director. Health officials have dismissed these claims, arguing that these potential cases were not confirmed by the laboratory. The Hospital Director, Pedro Zapata Loya, said two cases have been recorded, but they were tourists who were infected outside of the island.

From Sally Margolis Hi all!! We (Isla Animals) are gearing up for a HUGE Spay/Neuter, Vaccination, Wellness campaign for the animals in Rancho Viejo Nov 17-22. This is a very poor area in the municipality of Isla Mujeres. Most are living without electricity and running water. The situation for the animals there is dire right now with parvo & distemper running rampant, and heavy overpopulation. 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. (We can also accept Paypal donations via our site islaanimals.org - just add RANCHO VIEJO in message, and cash in person on Isla Mujeres. Please, please share the link on your social media. It helps us so much. If you are not in a position to donate PLEASE do read the campaign & share, there is lots of excellent info in it about the work we do-There is always so much to do! Thank you for your time! http://www.gofundme.com/isla-animals-rv
