The final game of the Liga del Tecnológico was played on Sunday, with the two teams from Isla Mujeres competing for the 2016 championship, at the Pescadores stadium. This is the first time in more than 30 years that two Isla Mujeres teams are competing for the title. The Pescadores were the first to get on the scoreboard with two runs. In the fifth inning there was a pitching duel. During the fifth inning, the bases were full, with no outs, when Jairo Venegas hit a grounder ('una rola') toward third, but the players on the bases thought it was going to be a foul ball, however, it was a ball in play. This resulted in a triple play against the Cockteleros, and in the end the Pescadores won 2 to 0.

Trash collection worker seriously injured
Muy grave y abandonado por el ayuntamiento. [+] Ver mas Full article & photo at this link
A trash collection worker, Misael Velazquez, fell from the trash truck when they were working in Sac Bajo on Saturday afternoon, hitting his head against the pavement. The neighbor who assisted his wife with the transport to a mainland hospital said, "Misael Velazquez is not insured and doesn't have Seguro Popular, and there was no official to assist in having him admitted to a private hospital. He was taken to the Cancun hospital "Jesus Kumate Rodriguez", where a neurosurgeon saw him, finally, at two in the morning, only to say there is nothing they could do."
The Director of Public Services, Manuel Figueroa Cetina, went over to see the patient, and remains close to the wife of the injured man. No official statement has been released.
Misael Velazquez was working on the three ton trash collection truck in Sac Bajo, whose crew was allegedly under pressure to finish the route quickly because there are only two of this type of trucks to serve the island, and two other trucks of the type "Estaquitas", with two of these vehicles out of service recently, allegedly due to lack of maintenance. A neighbor said, "I thought the workers were going too fast and that something could go wrong." Another person said, "It appears that when they went over a speed bump, the 'hop' (brinco) caused the worker to fall and hit his head on the pavement. He started bleeding from his head and his nose, and the Red Cross ambulance arrived shortly."
A former trash collection employee wrote in Facebook complaining about the unsafe conditions and lack of protective equipment such as gloves, masks, and goggles. He said with a salary of 1700 to 2000 pesos, they have to collect cans and iron in order to have enough to eat. He said he was once stabbed by a syringe when tossing a trash bag, and the City often does not supply gloves.
The reporter talked to neighbors of the injured man. The family lives upstairs, in colonia Meteorologica, on prolongation Jesus Martinez Ross. The neighbors said Misael Velazquez is about 52 years old, and has two young children (hijos menores) and two grown children. One said his wife had no money to cross on Saturday to go see her husband, commenting, "I gave her 1000 pesos which the municipal authorities will return to me later."

AA group "Hope in my life" will celebrate 20 years in Isla Mujeres
Cumple 20 años AA “Una Esperanza en mi vida”e.. [+] Ver mas Full article and photo at this link
The Isla Mujeres Alcoholics Anonymous group, "Una Esperanza en mi vida" will celebrate its 20th anniversary on June 10th when the AA movement, founded in the US will celebrate its 81st anniversary. The local group will have an informational event at the Blue Dome at 7pm with an artistic festival.
AA has more that 14,000 groups in Mexico and 120,000 worldwide to help with rehabilitation from alcohol and drug addiction, using the principle of "sponsorship" and the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts of World Service.
The reporter interviewed a woman named Lila R., who does not live in Isla Mujeres. She came to spend some time with her family, and took this opportunity to share her experience for the benefit of other women. She recommended following the Twelve steps, reading the Blue Book, and sticking with someone who has experience, practices the principles, and "lives the program."
She joined AA in 1983, after quitting drinking for six months. She was disappointed that her family and economic problems continued, as well as being unemployed and depressed. She said she found help from following the steps and reading the Blue Book ( the basic text for AA), and accepting her illness and God, which led to a process of self analysis and catharsis to reconcile with the past and restore relationships, as well as to share this message about life and finding peace within yourself.
According to statistics, in Mexico there are about 10 men in AA to every woman, while in the US women represent about a third or less of the participants.
