ISLA MUJERES, 30 de enero.-
   A group of islanders conducted a clean up campaign on Saturday morning in honor of World Wetlands Day at one of the bodies of water in Isla Mujeres. They also cleaned and picked up trash at one of the beaches of Isla Mujres on the western part of the island near the municipal slaughterhouse. They said they do these campaigns for the benefit of Isla Mujeres and the islanders, with the intention of encouraging good habits among the children and youths of the isle.

Merchants concerned about construction workers misbehaving    

 Piden prestadores de servicios, ya que sus excesos ahuyentan a turistas

Lanrry PARRA

ISLA MUJERES, 30 de enero.-

      Downtown entrepreneurs are concerned about the attitude and behavior of construction workers, especially on weekends when they drink alcohol, because they are driving tourists away from the nearby shops and businesses. The workers are constructing a building between Juarez and Hidalgo avenues, a block away from the Town Square. 
      The merchants say the construction workers are offending the tourists who walk down these two streets in bathing suits. They said whole families of tourists are being driven away, and when the workers were asked to moderate their behavior, it nearly came to blows. The municipal police were called, but the workers just went back into the building they are constructing until the patrol walked away.
     A nearby merchant said that the construction workers are not accustomed to seeing women dressed like this and patrols are needed in the area, at least on the weekends when the construction workers are drinking, to protect the tourists.

Dive shops complain other shops are "pirates"  
Denuncian piratería en buceo en la isla. [+] Ver mas
   The association of dive shops in Isla Mujeres wants authorities at all three levels of government to look into dive shops they call "pirates", saying those shops are employing foreigners and violating various regulations in Mexican law. They intended to discuss this with Mayor Agapito Magana Sanchez this week, but at the last minute there was confusion over the appointment, and it was rescheduled. The spokespersons for the group made a call to Immigration and to the Hacienda (Tax-Treasury) in an attempt to stop this activity.
       Antonio Gonzalez, treasurer of the association and Misael Fernandez, secretary, said, "They are not employing local people. There are only foreigners working there, which is not permitted. This is deliberate competition, which no one is stopping." They accused four dive shops, who also provide whale shark tours, who are named in the article. They said it appears the four shops have obtained official documents, such as operating licenses, despite these alleged irregularities.
         It is noted that one business is operated by an Australian in partnership with an Argentinian manager, and that another also has dive businesses in Playa del Carmen. The accusers said, "These businesses are international chains who want to compete indiscriminately and cause ruination, without respecting pre-established rates and procedures in environmental matters, and most especially, they are not complying with Mexican regulations, like everyone else."
        Divelife of Playa Carmen has opened a dive shop at the hotel Isleño and the complainants say, "The arrival of this shop had great significance, because they offer activities such as whale shark tours and diving, displacing locals." There are persistent rumors that other shops from Playa del Carmen are interested in setting up their own shops offering whale shark tours and diving. A member of the Isla Mujeres dive shop association said, "We cannot allow this, because it opens the doors to outsiders and saturates the limited market that we have. We have talked with the authorities, but we have had difficulty making any progress in this respect."
        They are seeking proposals about how to prevent the entry of the off-island companies. Antonio Gonzalez said, "Everyone must work hard (hay que mover el culo todos lit. everyone must move our butts) to prevent this problem of giving more authorizations (permits) to more shops from Playa del Carmen, because it will be harder for us if they are given."  They have spoken to the Director of Tourism, Gustavo Rodriguez, and to the personnel at Migration, and they plan to speak with the Mayor.


Boating activity resumes  
Se reanuda la actividad náutica+] Ver mas
  The restriction for small boats due to winds and waves caused by cold front #34 was removed by the Harbor Master on Saturday, after two days, and nautical activities resumed for fishermen, divers, tourists, etc. The closed season for grouper and snapper begins February 1st. Saturday dawned with low temperatures of 19 C outside and 22 C inside. At 8am, the winds had dropped off completely, with the port opened for general navigation.


Child dancers going to Nicaragua 
Niños dandantes a Nicaragua] Ver mas
      Dance instructor Renatta Rodriguez said children from the Renatta Dance Studio (RDS) will perform at Carnaval in Isla Mujeres, which begins next weekend, before their tour of Central America in the following weeks.
     Their show is called "Viva Brasil", with girls four years old and up, who will represent Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, and Mexico in Nicaragua, as well as in Merida, Yucatan. They will perform for the Isla Mujeres public at the Town Square at 8pm on Saturday, Feb. 6 and on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at the same time and place. The music for their show includes Samba, Axe, Lambada, and Batucada, as a fusion of Brazilian rhythms, explained the professional who is always looking for different ways to delight her hometown fans and other audiences. There will be 45 dancers performing, as well as invited guests, and they look forward to entertaining the general public with a cultural extravaganza typical of their high quality performances on their tours within and outside the country in recent years.
      They practice daily before noon in the upstairs of her home, located on Carlos Lazo street near the IMSS (Unidad de Medicina Familiar del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social). The dancers of the RDS frequently perform on the island; in Merida, Yucatan; in the Caribbean; and in Central America, and are already well known in the region.

Constructing four more domes at schools   

 En beneficio del sector estudiantil

Lanrry PARRA

ISLA MUJERES, 29 de enero.-
  Isla Mujeres Mayor, Agapito Magana Sanchez, said that four new sports domes will be constructed at schools in the municipality, with two on the mainland and two on the island. The two primary schools on the island which will benefit are “Andrés Quintana Roo” and “César Mendoza", and on the mainland it will be at the Colegio Bachilleres high school and the primary school "Enrique Estrella Oxte". 
    The Mayor said the provision of this type of infrastructure for schools in the municipality of Isla Mujeres is part of a program promoted by Gov. Roberto Borge Angulo, to build sports domes in all the schools of the municipality, for the benefit of the students. The Mayor said he is aware that more of these structures are needed at the schools, and this construction begins addressing these needs that had not been met for many years.
      So far, two domes have been built on the island, with one at the middle school "Benito Juarez" and the other at the high school Colegio Bachilleres, which were built with municipal resources, while these domes are being constructed with state funds.
   He said construction on these domes will begin in March and should be concluded before the end of his administration. The amount being invested has yet to be determined and work on these four domes will be implemented by the state government of Quintana Roo.

Isla Mujeres celebrates World Wetlands Day  
    Via the municipal Ecology Department, the City of Isla Mujeres will celebrate World Wetland's Day with two events on February 2nd and 3rd. The first is a conference on Tuesday at the Casa de Cultura at 6pm entitled "The Importance of Wetland's" taught by Karen Fuentes of the Manta Trust Project and by biologist Roberto Rojo.

Participants are expected to include students, environmental activists, members of the navy, community members, businesses such as Aguakan and Dolphin Discovery, and the general public.
     The goal of these events is to raise awareness among young people and adults about the importance of keeping our mangroves and lagoons clean and to share information about the importance of wetlands for the welfare of the planet. The director of the municipal Ecology department, Carlos Barranco, invited the public to participate in these events and support this excellent cause, which benefits everyone. He said, "With participation of the general community we can maintain a cleaner island and be more aware of the importance of the wetlands, particularly in Isla Mujeres.

Small boats remain restricted to port 
Mantienen restricciones a la navegación [+] Ver mas

    Boats under 40 feet remained restricted to port due to the effects of cold front #34, with winds of 15-30kph with gusts up to 45kph, and waves up to two meters at dawn with decreasing winds expected as the day proceeded, which are expected to switch to the southeast on Saturday, according to the forecast of CONAGUA (National Water Commission).
      The port closure began on Thursday at 3:30pm, with recreational tourism boating allowed near the isle, in the bay. Although there were not many tourists at the beach in the early hours, the numbers increased as the day progressed. Larger vessels were authorized to sail, with advice for extreme caution to avoid accidents at sea.
       It is noted that all the signaling beacons are in good condition except "El Cabezo" whose brightness is at 62.5 percent. This is located at the southern part of the coral reef of Isla Contoy National Park, with a lantern brightness of 120mm and a beacon beam range of 3 miles. There have been no accidents thus far in this season of northern winds, unlike last year when a foreigner's sailboat was wrecked in the area of "El Cabezo".

Everything is ready for Baseball Classic on Sunday at El Pescador 
Todo listo para el cásico en El Pescador.. [+] Ver mas
  Two island teams will compete, Pescadores and Cockteleros on Sunday at 1pm at the El Pescador baseball field for the Winter Technical League.Players whose arms are in good condition include  Luis Fernando “El Pequitas” Morales, Alejandro “El Chuletas” Sánchez, Francisco “El Tiburón” Coba y Jorge “El Pimo” Vázquez. And the home run hitters include René “El Terremoto” Rodríguez, Juan José “El Pistola” de la O, Teodoro “El Ticher” Cahum and the young Gustavo “Chicharito” Fernández. Promotor Jorge Fernando de la O Pino says the tremendous game won't be for the faint of heart, and there will be a high level of competition between the two teams.
     The information about the futbol rapido soccer tournament was translated in the TVIM section


Requesting use of "Caribe Maya" as a slogan  
Piden citar “Caribe Maya” en promocionales. [+] Ver mas
     Several leaders of business organizations have signed a petition to submit to Mayor Agapito Magana Sanchez requesting the use of the terms  “Caribe Maya Mexicano”, “Maya Caribe Mexicano”, and “Caribe Mexicano Maya” in promotions.
     The business leaders who are promoting these slogans include Guadalupe Martínez Márquez, leader of the Hoteles de Isla Mujeres (HIM); Juan Carrillo Figueroa of the Chamber of Commerce (Canaco); and Baltazar Maldonado from (Canirac), the restaurant organization; as well as the Vice President of the Asociación de Pequeños Hoteles Gerardo Magaña, and the President of that organization, Leonel Povedano Castillo. 
     They say this plan takes advantage of the recent increase in interest in culture from the online community and the island should market its prestige as a part of the Mexican Caribbean, located in the land of the Mayas. They want local government to endorse this proposal to the state and federal government before the decisions are made for the next six year term.
   The plan includes providing information about the ancient culture in various languages, as well as promoting cultural activities. This coordinates with Isla Mujeres having recently become a Pueblo Magico, as part of a plan to attract more tourists, in times when there is a new 'boom' of visitors to the region, and record breaking statistics.
    At a recent meeting of the municipal Pueblo Magico Committee there was a plan to invest 17 million pesos in enhancing the image of downtown, including maintenance for the wooden houses, among other things.
