“México Conectado” is a project of the Federal Government, thru the SCT, Department of Communications and Transport, to ensure the constitutional right of access to broadband Internet service as stipulated in the 6th Article. To achieve this objective the program promotes the deployment of telecommunications networks to provide connectivity in public areas including schools, health centers, libraries, parks, and community centers, by the three levels of government; local, state, and national.
At the City Council meeting on November 21st, an agreement was signed with the Executive Branch of the state government and with the SCT for coordination of actions and resources to assist in carrying out the activities of the Mexico Connected project in Quintana Roo.The City of Isla Mujeres agreed to adhere to the program and to be subject to the guidelines of the project at sites within the township.

"Gringa" in Isla Mujeres allegedly used scissors on 'playboy' known as "Juan Alimana"
Resultó un "vividor"
Sujeto que fue tijereteado por "gringa" en Isla Mujeres: Lo conocen como "Juan Alimaña"

ISLA MUJERES, 4 de diciembre.-
Juan Felipe Rodríguez Delfín filed a complaint with the Agencia del Ministerio Público del Fuero Común (MPFC) accusing his American girlfriend, Sherry Ann Nevers, of attempted homicide. The man known as Juan Alimaña” allegedly has a criminal record (antecedentes penales) and a history of "a 'vivir' " (going to live) with older women of foreign origin. With this information in the hands of the Judicial Police (Policía Judicial), this causes doubts for the Procuraduría General de Justicia, because these types of actions or possible abuse against foreigners could cause damage to the image of this destination. The initial research of the complaint (ISMU/292/2914) (sic) of MPFC is including other investigations, according to a member of the State Judicial Police.
Regarding the alleged mistreatment of foreigners, the Tourism Department is taking action and collecting information on “Juan Alimaña”. The State Judicial Police indicated this person has a history, and is presumed to be a "vividor" (playboy. This is also defined on the internet as a rogue, a pleasure seeker, a moocher), but so far no complaints of this type have been filed with the agency, but it has been mentioned elsewhere.
It is alleged that he is known around the island as a drunk and a lover of older American women in order to then live on their money. In this sense, he has made a complaint of alleged vehicular theft and money against the female foreigner. It is presumed he may be trying to take advantage of the circumstances and using the MPFC. It is alleged that for some months he had lacked money to eat with, and now he has complained of an alleged theft of more than 4000 pesos.
(I am not familiar with the term "Alimaña” which the internet indicates it means vermin, pest, bloodsucker, an animal that preys on livestock.)

Two years behind bars could be a potential sentence for the death of the pet Lucky
Dos años tras las rejas
Pasarían los acusados de dar muerte a la mascota “Lucky”, entre éstos, ex funcionaria
Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 3 de diciembre.-
December.- For the electrocution of the dog "Lucky", the former director of Ecology, Cristina Figueroa Medina, could potentially be sentenced to up to two years in prison. To go thru the penal process outside jail, she could be required to post a bond between 100 and 200 minimum wages, if she is assigned responsibility in this case. (The daily minimum wage is ~$5usd, so that would be $500-$1000usd).
. This was reported by the head of the Ministerio Público (Prosecutors office) of the island, Abraham Alcocer, who said responsibility for those involved is expected to be determined in upcoming days. There has been an ongoing investigation in this case 272/2014, and next the process will go before the court.
The head of the prosecutor's office said that according to Article 179 of the Animal Welfare Law, the execution of a pet by electrocution is classed as a felony (delito grave), but one is allowed to post bond while facing the charges, which could be between an estimated 100 and 200 daily minimum wages. He said if found to be responsible, those accused could face up to one or two years in prison.
It is noted that Cristina Medina Figueroa left her position as directer of the Department of Ecology and was discharged by the City of Isla Mujeres, because she was accused of being responsible for the execution of the dog "Lucky". The animal was electrocuted by workers in her department, exactly one month ago on November 4th, at the hurricane shelter, which caused outrage in the island community.

Complaint against his girlfriend because she allegedly wanted to kill him with scissors!
Posted: 03 Dec 2014 08:16 PM PST
Juan Felipe Rodríguez Delfín filed a complaint with the prosecutor alleging that he received five puncture wounds from his American girlfriend, Sherry Ann Nevers, apparently made by scissors. He had three wounds in one leg, one in his abdomen, and one in his arm. He claims the wounds were inflicted following an argument that began when he arrived home with cold pizza.
He filed a complaint against the foreign women for attempted murder, daños (damages/debts), injuries, and theft because he alleges the women left the house after assaulting him, taking his money and his car. He claims the woman was upset because he arrived home late with dinner and the food was cold. He said they argued and then went to sleep, and alleges that at 3am he was attacked by the American with scissors. He said the attack was quick, that he first felt the wounds in his leg and then the others, but it could have been worse because he reacted and put his arm up to avoid damage to his face.
This occurred in colonia Meteorologico, where the police arrived, after a report by the neighbors, but at that time, Rodriguez Delfin did not want the officers to detain the woman. According to the municipal police, if they had not come in the wee hours of the morning, the wounded man would have hemorrhaged , and could have lost his life. Little is known about the woman, and the complainant alleges that she left the house and took his car, a 1999 Malibu, four doors with Yucatan plates ZAD 8159, his voter registration card, and around 1300 pesos of cash, which he says was his property.

Investigan a 'Juan Alimaña' tras denuncia
Now comes the “tiro por la culata”, after a citizen filed a complaint of attempted homicide against his girlfriend that he livesd with. (This means to backfire or to boomerang...that the action intended to harm another turns against yourself and you are damaged.) Now with the initiation of an investigation, there are questions about the complainant's alleged bad habits.
Juan Felipe Rodríguez Delfín, who is known as Juan Alimaña”, filed complaint ISMU/292/2014 against Sherry Ann Nevers. It is said he has a reputation of being a "playboy" for tourists (un “vividor” de turistas), which damages the reputation of this tourist destination and now there are questions about this case. It is questioned whether the money he reported stolen was hers, and if she bought the car which he reported as stolen, as well as questions concerning the abuse/the incident.
It was learned unofficially that the Tourism Department is conducting an investigation into "Juan Alimana", because once this complaint became public, many islanders expressed unfavorable opinions about this man. According to statements, it is alleged that he is a drunk who loves older women tourists in order to use their money and to live with them, deceiving them by saying he is sick and requires money, which is said to "the modus operandi of Juan Alimana" For this reason, this case has taken an unexpected turn because of the alleged background of the accuser and the stories told about him at establishments where night life takes place on the island. by Jesus Molina

A breakfast with entertainment was held to celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, at the Senior Citizens Club (De Gente Grande) yesterday morning, hosted by the president of the DIF, social service agency, Marthy Vargas de Magaña, who was accompanied by her husband the mayor, Agapito Magaña Sánchez.

Loud applause was given to David Colli who participated in a camp for disabled persons last week and was named King of everyone in the state. (y fue nombrado rey de todos en el estado.) The mayor spoke about the importance of government to provide quality services. Presents were given and there was dancing, with the senior citizens performing a medley of songs, as well as participating in what is known as a community "pochon" with the theme "Tigre Rasuado" (literally: tiger shaving..?)

Doubling security at the maritime terminals
Redoblan la seguridad en las terminales marítimas

Prevented fire from consuming palapa
Evitan que fuego consuma palapa
Yesterday in colonia La Gloria, a palapa fire started, but due to rain and the timely intervention of the personnel of the Civil Protection agency and the municipal police, there was no major incident at the building, Edificio Arrecife y Coral. The incident occurred yesterday (Tuesday) at 1:17pm when the fire was reported to the emergency number 066, and authorities brought assistance. The company Aguakan came with a water line (llego una pipa de agua de la empresa Aguakan) which was responsible for putting out the fire in the building located on Pargo street. Seconds later the Navy arrived with a water truck (llego una camión pipa de la Armada de México), but the sailors did not have to take action because their intervention was not needed.
The palapa is located behind the elementary school "Julio Sauri" and for this reason there were concerns that the fire could be dangerous for the school, however immediate intervention and the protocols of the agencies for safety and protection resulted in prompt actions for safety in an efficient manner that prevented further damage. By Jesus Molina (Our municipal fire truck broke down on the way to the hospital fire recently. It is a hand me down that Cozumel donated in 2010, and while it looks "cute" in a vintage sort of way, it often suffers from mechanical problems.If anyone has one they'd like to donate, drop me a line!)

It is estimated that according to the extended weather forecasts, the removal of the sailboat "Chiron" may take place between Dec. 10-12. The vessel ran aground a mile south of Isla Contoy last Friday but the strong winds and currents have prevented more detailed inspection. The amount of damage to the hull is unknown, but there is a break. However there is no risk of fuel spillage because they ran out of fuel before arriving at the site, miles before while in the Yucatan Channel, and then the sails were torn by strong winds.
Statements were given by the crew, Greg Claden y Ricardo López, about the events that occurred Friday morning, before they were rescued at dawn by the Navy of Mexico. The request for aid was made at 2:52 am and they were rescued at 6:10am. The Americans were spotted in an inflatable raft near the sunken boat and brought to Isla Mujeres for medical assessment.
