There's a possibility of rain this afternoon or evening in our part of Q. Roo, under the influence of weakened Cold Front #35. Meanwhile, #36 is moving our way and expected to affect the northern Peninsular region in 24-36 hours, bringing cooler northern winds, and the possibility of some rain & lightning. (Corrriente en chorro is the Jet Stream.) Currently we're enjoying sunny weather with pleasant temperatures & partly cloudy skies & some whitecaps are kicking up in the Caribbean.



From the City....

Successful propane tank exchange
  The tank exchange for 20 and 30 kg propane cylinders began at 9am, and more than 180 cylinders were exchanged at no cost, except for the propane. Another exchange is expected to be held in three months. The event took place at the Community Center in colonia La Gloria, with the Z Gas company, for the benefit and safety of everyone.

Registration is on Tuesday, February 4th at noon at the Bicentennial Dome in colonia La Gloria for the "Tell the Governor" event on Thursday, Feb. 13th at 10a at the Bicentennial Dome.



The municipal Youth Department carried out an “Inside Out Your Values Count” program with 150 students at the Benito Juarez middle school, fostering values such as respect, tolerance and empathy. The program encourages young people to develop social responsibility and to reduce incidents of bullying. Programs such as this take place in the schools in an ongoing manne and promote values such as friendship, courtesy, kindness, and respect while developing skills of unity and leadership. An education official said, "Honesty, sensitivity and gratitude are some of the most important values ​​that we must put into practice, that is what we do in the current administration, encourage them for the well-being of all."

Hotel Mía guest injured by boat  LINK  
    On Thursday shortly before 5pm, a foreign tourist named Hansen, 25, was struck by a boat while snorkeling near the Mia pier (not the bridge-pier), causing injuries to her leg and left hand. Witnesses say the boat was apparently a fishing launch, which nearly passed right over her and struck her. The victim said that after the vessel hit her, it approached her and the crew helped her get out of the sea and left her on the pier. 
       Unfortunately, no one was able to identify the boat, which departed after leaving the tourist on the pier.  It is noted that at the time, the Civil Protection Department nor the Harbor Master were aware of this incident, because the Hotel Mia took charge directly. Paramedics with the Life ambulance provided medical attention and the woman was subsequently transferred to Cancun for specialized care.

Ultraplan smart cards available from Ultramar   LINK  
   The Ultramar company launched its new Ultraplan credential in December, as part of its plan to move to digital ticketing. Users can accumulate tickets, in addition to taking advantage of the preferential resident rate, they can also accumulate miles and access to special discounts. For residents who have not already completed this procedure, they must present a copy of their IFE, License, or Passport & FM2 Visa, in addition to proof of residence, and proof of address, or in the case of renters, proof of rental contract. Students have the same requirements, except school credential instead of IFE, and they need additional documentation about their accredited course.

License plate renewal continues until March  LINK     VIDEO  
  An increase of 2.38% in the UMA (Measurement Unit) on February 1st, means there will be a slight increase in license plate renewal costs. (See yesterday's edition for the costs graphics).

   La Tertulia  

Jan. 31  This morning, agents with IMN (Immigration) and the National Guard conducted a vehicular checkpoint on prolongation Rueda Medina, near the car ferry, as a preventative & routine operation, and denied that its purpose it to seek someone in particular or to harass anyone. (A report on FB says there was also a checkpoint on JM Ross).
It is noted that a couple days ago personnel with IMN detained five foreigners (four women and a man, reportedly from Argentina) at a hostel. It is presumed they had some irregularity in their documents or couldn't show that they were staying in Mexico legally, since they had been staying at the location for some hours.

Complaints about delaying departure of Ultramar ferry for "important" people
  Jan. 29   Passengers on the 6am ferry on Thursday complained that the departure was delayed by nine minutes due to waiting for an "important person" and that this has happened before, for people such as the daughter of the Naval commander or son of an important Port Authority (API) official. Passengers said a delay such as this can cause people to miss a medical appointment, a flight, or to be late for school, noting the return of the 5:30 ferry would make it easier to be on time for school and other responsibilities.


From  Por Esto :

Expansion of Maritime Terminal not finished   

Ampliación de la terminal marítima, sin concluir

  The expansion of the Maritime Terminal began on October 30th and originally was expected to conclude on December 30th, but there have been delays, attributed to weather, and now it should be completed by the end of February. Due to the rapid growth of passengers, the terminal became insufficient about two years after its inauguration on Oct. 6, 2016. Commercial space was eliminated to make more efficient use of the passenger area, and now more area is being constructed at the southern part, taking advantage of an unused area in front of the pier. This expansion will create 255.75 square meters for tourists taking ferries to the Cancun Hotel Zone.


Isla Mujeres news briefs  

Breves de Isla Mujeres

   Around noon on Wednesday, on the Caribbean coastal road near colonia La Gloria, a golf cart made a U-Turn, without observing a scooter, resulting in a collision and minor injuries to the motorcyclist and his passenger.  The driver of the yellow golf cart, #15, was turning leftward at the intersection of Isla Contoy street, when the collision occurred. Red Cross paramedics and Traffic police came to the scene and the drivers went to the Police station to determine responsibilities.
   The other brief is about the ICATQR classes & registration.

Cold Front #35 arrived on Wednesday with intense rain  

Llovió a cantaros por frente frío 35

   The thunder and lightning began around 2pm, and the heavy rainfall that followed only lasted about a half hour, then paused and continued with lower intensity (and then stopped). There were accumulations (flooding) at Hidalgo and Abasolo, along Rueda Medina, and in the lower parts of the colonias.  Activation of the pump near the Casa Cultura lowered the water at Hidalgo & Abasolo,  but deficiencies in the drainage along Medina meant that would take some hours.
       The rain was caused by an interaction between hot and cold currents, since the temperature had been 28C an hour earlier, and the entrance of the cold front caused the rain.

After the moon has completed the first quarter of its orbit around Earth, the relative positions of the Earth, sun, and moon cause us to see it half-illuminated — on its eastern side. At first quarter, the moon always rises around noon and sets around midnight local time, so it is conveniently positioned for observing before youngsters' bedtimes. The evenings around first quarter are excellent for looking at the lunar terrain while it is dramatically lit by low-angled sunlight. (Source-Space.com)

From the City....

The Mayor, accompanied by other officials and the General Director of Aguakan, took a tour of the work being done by that company along the road to Punta Sur. Mayor Juan Carrillo Soberanis said that the work is being done in a coordinated fashion to provide the islanders and tourists with better mobility and a better quality of life, in the Pueblo Magico. He said heis committed to remaining vigilant that the work is fulfilled as agreed, leaving the roads in optimal condition after the work is completed.
