After changing the engines of the maritime ambulance, it is now in operation-http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/tras-cambio-de-motores-ambulancia-maritima-ya-esta-en-operacion/
- After an investment of just over 700,000 pesos, the Maritime Ambulance, which is under the responsibility and protection of the Integral Port Administration of Quintana Roo (Apiqroo), has returned to service. The work was concluded on Friday and the ambulance began operating on Saturday, carrying out several transfers.
The ambulance began operations with the change of administrations, however a few months later problems were detected with the two Mercury engines, which have been replaced with two new powerful Yamaha motors.
The Director of APIQRoo, Alicia Ricalde Magana, explained that while the motors were being adapted in Isla Mujeres by qualified personnel for several days, emergency transfer services were available through a private individual, to ensure the commitment was maintained that was made by the Governor. She said these transport services are coordinated at the request of the Community Hospital and the boat can sail as long as weather conditions allow.

However, the General Directorate of Ports has not officially signed off on the work (done on the pier.). Ms Ricalde said there is a good chance for this company, who are already familiar with these ports, and have their own fleet. It is the company Naviera Integral (Navinsa), owned by the magnate Juan Pablo Vega Arriaga.
Ms. Ricalde said she is trying to expedite the official delivery of the pier so the tests can be started that are required for the interested companies. The route is currently served by 'Ultramar" and the other interested companies are "Barcos Caribe", "Marinsa" and now "Navisa".
It is hoped that the pier will be officially released next month and then the docking tests can begin, and it is probable that a second company will service the route by the upcoming vacation season of July and August.

. - Dr. Miguel Ángel García Albarran, director of the Isla Mujeres integral hospital, explained that in order to avoid the spread of gastrointestinal diseases, it is necessary to try to practice hand washing and maintain hygiene in the preparation of food.
He said, "So far we have not had any cases of serious gastrointestinal diseases such as Salmonellosis, possibly because we are just beginning the season of hot weather, however we cannot ignore that they occur, so it is important to be insistent about taking care when handling food and with personal hygiene."
He said that the Isla Mujeres Community Hospital offers a workshop on how and when to wash hands, including the proper technique. He said the most common gastrointestinal disease during the hot season is Salmonellosis, which is why it is important to pay close attention to the quality of food, the preparation of the foods, verify where we eat, and stay hydrated. There is an explanation of 'What is Salmonellosis?". LINK to Wiki article about Salmonellosis.

Bidding process begun

The Director of Sports, Natanael Gallegos Salinas, said the Bicentennial Dome will need a complete renovation, because it is not possible to save the entire steel structure, which was not given maintenance in the past eight years. He did not know the how much the renovation will cost,but estimates it will be at least 4 to 5 million pesos. He said there is advanced deterioration from the salt, and it would not be able to withstand the winds over time, therefore they decided to throw that all away. The bidding process to completely renovate this dome has begun.
Last month, the strong winds began to tear away the canvas roof, which also had not been renewed in a timely manner, and part of it fell with the strong south-southeast winds, so the area was closed to avoid any accidents.
He said the work to demolish the entire roof structure will take place in early June, and a new one will be installed, and the structure should be back in operation in the fall, for the hundreds of young people who practice there, as well as the large events that are held there.
Sr Gallegos said that the sports areas are in need of constant maintenance,because of their proximity to the sea which destroys the steel. Currently two sports areas are undergoing renovations, the downtown basketball court "Jose del Carmen Pastrana" and the rapid soccer field in colonia Salina.

There are only three people to monitor the sea turtle nesting areas on more than 20 beaches and protect their eggs from predators or poachers. Fortunately, the season has barely begun and so far only four nests of eggs have been transferred to the Tortugranja. The Mayor was asked about this and said there will be more staff no later than next week because they are hiring people who are interested in participating in the Temporary Employment Program, which is focused on the rescue of the eggs of turtles who nest in Isla Mujeres during the upcoming months.
