18 undocumented Cubans detained after landing on the east coast of Isla Mujeres

Recalan 18 balseros

Policías municipales lograron asegurarlos en playas del Oriente de Isla Mujeres

Lanrry PARRA

ISLA MUJERES, 30 de agosto.-
   Eighteen Cuban balseros were detained by the Municipal Police (PMP) as they came ashore on the eastern coast, near the gas station and the high school, Colegio Bachilleres. It was 10:20am when a municipal police patrol was getting fuel at the gas station and they saw the Cubans landing. The balseros were taken to the police station, where they were assisted by paramedics of the Red Cross, and overseen by representatives from the Navy and the INM, National Migration Institute.
    The detained men said they departed from Mayabeque, in the province of Winis, Cuba on Wednesday at 1am and had been at sea for about five days with crackers to eat and water to drink. They survived two large storms that threatened their lives and took them off course. They were in good health.
      They had been heading toward Miami, but made landfall in Isla Mujeres. They said most of them had left behind families and young children in their home country, and their biggest fear is being deported. After they were processed in Isla Mujeres, according to the law, they were taken to Puerto Juarez aboard a Naval vessel and handed over to the INM. They will be transferred to the city of Chetumal to begin the process of assisted repatriation, and any of them could also be claimed by relatives they might have living in this country.
  The names of the detained Cubans are  Reniel Serrano,  29; Juan Carlos Batista Martínez, 29; Gilberto Ramos Almeida, 39; Elmer Romero,  39; Yanoi Capudi Díaz,  26; Yohannis Velázquez Fabián,  38; Yovani Hernández Hidalgo; Gerardo Cuéllar Batista, 35, Yadien Cruz Gasca,  28; Edilio Joel Ricardo Rojas,  21; Dionisio Mejía Cantillo,  51; Yoelny Cerviño López, 34; Emilio Gendis Vera, 36; Ediel Moneda Gil, 40; Malquez Abreu Fernández,  23, Yulier Alba Ortega,  30, and Jesús Piloto Rendón, 30.

ISLA MUJERES, 30 de agosto.-
       According to workers at the General Hospital, the new hospital is expected to become operational on Monday, August 31. For two weeks, workers have been moving equipment and furniture. Staff have been taking training courses in subjects including Integration of Electronic Health Records,  Operating the X Ray equipment, Operation of the Dental Equipment, Management of the Electric generator and system and of the water systems, among others.

Optimistic about tourism

Expecting hotel occupancy to remain above 50% in upcoming months 

Prevalece optimismo turístico

Prevén que la ocupación hotelera se mantenga por arriba del 50% en los próximos meses

Lanrry PARRA

ISLA MUJERES, 30 de agosto.-
     After the excellent vacations season at this tourist destination so far this year, the municipal Director of Tourism, Gustavo Rodriguez Orozco, is optimistic that Isla Mujeres won't have an off-season this year. He said throughout the first week after summer holiday season ended, hotel occupancy has remained at an average of 50 percent.
     He said the months of September, October, and part of November are traditionally considered the off season, when the number of visitors decreases dramatically, but this year it is expected that this phenomenon will not occur because the island has had such excellent holiday seasons. He said that promotional work done in advance, and ongoing, will prevent the so-called low season.
    He said it is a fact that with the beginning of September, the start of the decline of the arrival of tourists will be felt, and things will change for the businesses and service providers, but the decrease is not expected to be very drastic. Store employees, cart rental businesses, and nautical tour providers said that there is less demand, but they did not give a figure about how much business has decreased.

         Following an outbreak of fire in one of the downtown restaurants last week, the Civil Protection agency will begin conducting reviews of the facilities of the island businesses. The businesses are required to provide updated information about their infrastructure. 
          It is the responsibility of the municipal authorities to inspect them directly and of the office of Civil Protection to review the information, said Guillermo Morales Lopez, Civil Protection coordinator for the Northern Zone of Quintana Roo. He said each business must complete an 'isometric plan', and meet requirements to prevent accidents in the future. He said it is the responsibility of each business to review the status of their facilities and to correct any risks that might exist, such as damaged pipes or stationary propane tanks located near chimneys.

Celebrating their "First Convention for Peace"

 Residents of the "Agricultural Zone" of the Continental Zone, on the mainland part of the municipality of Isla Mujeres, held a fair to showcase their agricultural products which included citrus fruits, nances, lemons, honey, and chilies, among other items. They offered plants for planting and ornamental plants, tanned hides, natural drinks, and other items. It is hoped that these events will grow and become a tradition. 


Finished moving the General Hospital

      The new hospital is equipped with 13 beds and includes areas for emergency care, hospitalization, an operating room, delivery room, recovery area, offices, 'sala de choque' (trauma room?), hyperbaric chamber, sterilization area, and diagnostic services including digital Xray equipment. There are also two machines to provide hemodialysis for people with renal failure. There are outlets for "medical air", oxygen, and special walls in the Xray area. There is ultrasound and dental equipment, as well as wiring for voice and data. There are areas for governmental offices and medical residents (or residence..I think this means a sleeping/dorm room.) It is noted that has been a crocodile photo on social networks recently that was taken at the lagoon near the hospital, and neighbors are concerned that it will "greet" the patients.

Increased promotional work to overcome the low season 

Intensifican trabajo de promoción

Para sobrellevar la temporada baja

Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 29 de agosto.-
       As the low season begins, for the month of September and the first half of November, promotion of Isla Mujeres is increasing in countries such as Argentina, Japan, and the United States, said the municipal Director of Tourism, Gustavo Rodriguez Orozco. Recently his staff have been assisting workers with an Argentinean television station who visited the whale shark area and the various attractions around the island, including Punta Sur and the Mundaca Hacienda.
    Next week, staff from The Discovery Channel are scheduled to arrive to film on the mainland part of the Isla Mujeres municipality, at Isla blance. They are featuring this area as one of the new attractions in Quintana Roo, offering ecotourism. He said that personnel from a Japanese television station are expected to visit in September, to record a program featuring the Posada del Mar beach, which is now called Playa Centro.
     He concluded by saying that at this time, there is a Mexican television crew filming a telenovela (soap opera) in the Hotel Zone of the Continental area of Isla Mujeres, who have decided to use some new locations. Among them are the Captain Dulche Museum, at the southern part of Isla Mujeres.


(The information in the other DQR article has already been translated, regarding the property where the Perla del Caribe hotel was located, which is not invading the malecon, as was alleged, but rather the malecon invaded the private property ~a decade ago. The owner donated the section where light poles had been installed. )

Agapito and Marthy celebrate remodeling of Senior Citizen kitchen
      The president of the DIF social service agency, Marthy Vargas Leon de Magana, accompanied by her husband the Mayor, Agapito Magana Sanchez, attended the re inauguration of the kitchen of the Senior Citizen's Club, after its remodeling. The event was held on Saturday as part of Senior Citizen's Day, and included a breakfast.
       Sra. Vargas thanked Sara Cardona, the representative of the Eagle Wings Foundation, for their assistance with the remodeling, and for the painting that was done throughout the building. Recognition was given to the founders of the Senior Citizens Club.
    Before breakfast, the senior citizens attended a Mass dedicated to them, and officiated by the local priest. The very pleasant event included recitations of poetry, songs, dances, and games, as well as ballet folklorico dances by the Senior Citizens, and a performance by the children of the DIF choir.

Following instructions in order to ensure prevention of problems during rainy season, we continue cleaning the storm drains and grates.
Atentos a la instrucción de nuestra autoridad en el sentido de garantizar medidas para prevenir contratiempos durante la temporada de lluvias, continuamos con nuestras labores de limpieza de rejillas de drenaje.

    Adiestrarán Secretaría de Marina a los Salvavidas

         On Thursday, there was a meeting between the coordinator for Civil Protection in the Northern Zone, Guillermo Morales Lopez, and the Naval Admiral who is commander of the Fifth Naval Region to arrange an agreement for training and certification of the lifeguards who work for Civil Protection. 
           This project was proposed in March, and it was hoped that it would be implemented before the summer season, but that proved to be impossible. The coordinator said they expect  that the staff will have Naval certification and training by the upcoming vacation period. He said the lifeguards of Civil Protection have skills and protocols, and receive training courses, but this certification will provide improved training.

    Aplazan el pago de titulación de predios

    0 30 de agosto de 2015  By Carlos Gasca
          Members of the "Nueva Tierra" Association, who consist of more than 200 islanders, were advised at a meeting held yesterday at the Community Center, that the deadline to settle outstanding debts has been extended by one month. These fees are associated with obtaining deeds for two properties, while working with CORETT, the Commission for the Regularization of Land Tenure. The balance of the debt exceeds 100,000 pesos, and those who do not pay their portion within 30 days could be lift out of the deeding process, and later it could become more expensive. 
           The group will meet again late next month to officially notify the debtors and to make them aware that they could be left out of the titling process. The president of the Association, Baltazar Gomez Catzin explained they have been working with CORETT to meet the requirements and to acquire titles for this project, which includes two lots for each member. 
          With this goal, they cleared the areas for roads and accesses to the lots, but have not yet begun the construction of some palapas, which are requirements for CORETT to begin the process of issuing deeds. (These properties are located on the mainland part of the municipality of Isla Mujeres, called the Continental Zone).

    0 30 de agosto de 2015  By Carlos Gasca

          At the recent meeting of the Technical Advisory Council of the Isla Contoy National Park, a proposal was made to address the issue of the capacity of the bathrooms being exceeded by the number of passengers who arrive daily, which has 'always' been a problem.
           It was proposed that a bathroom boat be provided which would be outfitted exclusively to provide toilet facilities. It could be equipped with latrines and every so often it would travel to unload the waste. 
          It was noted that other ecological destinations in the world use portable toilets, which is a proposal that could also be considered.

Poor quality of work
Obra de mala calidad [+] Ver mas

     There are holes in the downtown basketball court "Jose del Carmen Pastrana", which was remodeled a year ago with federal funds of over half a million pesos (~530,000). This work included resurfacing the court and replacing the concrete grandstands with aluminum. There was criticism at the time about the way the work was being done in relation to the oxidation of the rods that were preexisting within the structure under the surface. Athletes want municipal officials to have the construction company repair this work, because this is required by the rules of the state and local leagues which regulate their games.

Seaweed stops arriving
Cesa arribo de sargazor.. [+] Ver mas
     The massive arrival of seaweed a few days ago at a section of North Beach had not reoccurred, and nearly a ton of saragossa was removed by municipal workers. It did not arrive at Media Luna beach, although it landed at the Casa de Piedras the week before and was removed, and did not return. An 'arm' of saragossa passed thru last week and one section drifted into the channel that divides North Beach from the islet of El Yonque, where the first hotel was built in 1964 as Zazil Ha, now Mia. The beach cleaning staff removed it. Every year some small quantities of seaweed land at the area of the House of the Rocks, and the Federal Zone concession holders nearby clean it up and place it between wooden collectors, where it decomposes to become sand again. (Regarding this ton of seaweed that was removed, the previous article said it was buried on site.)
     According to the seamen, due to the north south orientation of the island, the sea currents generally prevent this type of marine debris from coming close to the beaches, although some trash comes ashore such as plastic containers, sandals, boat lías, timbers, etc.
       It is observed that although the beaches are clean, there are fewer visitors this weekend, since the summer holiday season ended last week.


Invasion of public spaces
Área pública invadida. [+] Ver mas
    Some residents want municipal officials to monitor building along the edges of the eastern malecon, because they say there are several individuals invading the public space along this kilometer with construction from their homes. Young Nicolas Gomez, son of a businessman who has a newly established residence on the island, said, "The abuse of power and negligence that we have suffered under the previous mayors cannot be allowed to continue." He alleged that, "Far from defending the public patrimony, they have engaged in plunder, as in the case of Paulino Adame Torres". He asked that the current Mayor, Agapito Magana, take action to regain these public spaces, such as the malecon. He said they have been complaining about this house near the CFE (Federal Electric Commission) invading the sidewalk and the malecon, but there has been no action. He alleges that this makes it appear as tho officials are in agreement or are complicit in these irregularities.
     There are also residents who are concerned about crime because they say there is inadequate lighting along the southern part of the malecon after corrosion and environmental factors caused the lights there to fall or stop working.
