ISLA MUJERES, 2 noviembre.-
Leer más...The Mayor met with the assistant Director of the INAH in Cancun, Carlos Esperon yesterday to discuss several issues relating to the cultural heritage of the municipality, both on the island and in the Continental Zone. This includes the church at Boca Iglesias which is the site of the first Mass in Mexico said Spanish, building from colonial times, and buildings from pre-Hispanic times. There is tourism potential and it is noted that in a few months construction of large hotels will begin on the mainland area of Isla Mujeres, which will house thousands of tourists yearly, hence the importance of this meeting with the INAH. The mayor spoke about his support for culture and history, and talked about the importance of these projects and keeping our island cultural identity intact between the generations before us and the next generations. Also attending the meeting was Fidel Villanueva, who is a lifetime historian of Isla Mujeres, and archeologists Luis Leyra and Enrique Terrones.

Tragedia en ‘El Farito’
0 02 de noviembre de 2013
Por Carlos Gasca-Quequi.- A tourist from New York died while swimming near the little lighthouse & islet known as "El Farito" located about 500 meters offshore from the wooden municipal pier. She had been aboard the boat "Lupita" of the coop "Adolfo Lopez Mateos" and was snorkeling, when she had cardiac problems. Little could be done to revive Ann H Rawlings, 56, who was traveling with a friend. Her body was taken to the island, where Red Cross paramedics arrived, but she was deceased. The body was taken to Cancun for an autopsy and corresponding procedures. -

Jesús Molina DIARIO RESPUESTA
The family Magaña Carrillo has been preparing this traditional Day of the Dead food for over 70 years, meeting together at their home on Rueda Medina Avenue. Two days before it began with the purchase of a pig and the chickens were killed for the preparation of this delicacy. The reporter observed the hollowed out area where the food will be smoked and the fire was preheating. This tradition began when the island was inhabited by only 700 or 800 people. But no more, and now everyone helps to make the delicious tacos of more than 1.6 kilos.
One woman commented, "I am 82 years old and since I can remember this is what we did, and what my parents did, and this is my mother's recipe, and it is the same." She explained that they would go two Merida two days before, because here they could not buy the 70 packs of leaves (banana), 90-95 kilos of masa, and a whole hog, in order to prepare 50-55 tamales, which were for their family and friends.
More than a dozen women of different ages worked in harmony at this traditional island home, chatting pleasantly and doing their respective tasks, while children played in the yard and odors of this wonderful delicacy wafted about.
Doña Rosalba Carillo explained that the began with the slaughter of the pig, salting of the meat, and killing the chickens to prepare the meat two days in advance so that on November 2nd they could make the pibipollos. It takes nearly three hours for the tamales to be ready, and the wood must be very hard and special stones must be used so they don't break in the fire. Her sister Dona Arminda Magaña Carrillo was helping her retain these beautiful traditions that give us an identity as a people/pueblo. (Here is an article I wrote about these tamales LINK ). The woman in the red dress is the mother of Freddy, manager of Mar y Sol.)

The incident occurred around 1pm, when the 56 year old tourist was snorkeling the reef near El Farito and apparently suffered a heart attack. The boaters noted the subject had drowned and immediately rescued her, pulling her from the water and giving her first aid, but to no avail and there was no response. At press time no other details were known, and the body was being taken to the Medical Examiners for autopsy, as required by law. The PGJE, Attorney General's office attested to the facts and will file the relevant report. No family members were present. Paramedics from a private clinic were present, but unable do anything since the body arrived with no vital signs, and they stated that a heart attack may have been the cause of death.
