ISLA MUJERES, 16 de julio.-
The buoy line in front of Playa Centro (aka the Posada Beach) was repaired before the start of the summer holiday season to ensure the safety of the swimmers. It was presumably broken by misuse from swimmers who cross it frequently and irresponsibly to enter the Navigation channel. Lifeguards frequently chastise swimmers who cross the buoy line along a stretch of about 200 meters where the beach had grown and was previously eroded.

I am willing to grant the title of concession so that it continues in the name of the cooperative: Martin Trejo Manzano
http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/estoy-dispuesto-ceder-el-titulo-de-concesion-para-que-continua-a-nombre-de-la-cooperativa-trejo-manzano/
July 16 Martín Trejo Manzano, who is currently being singled out for trying to deprive the fishermen of the "Caribe" cooperative of a concession, defended himself against this accusation. He explained that all he did was protect the investment against the lack of interest by the fishermen themselves The concession they had for many years was being revoked (les fue revocado la concesion).
In an interview today at noon, Mr. Trejo Manzano made it clear that he does not want a confrontation with the fishermen and he is willing to even cede the rights of the concession that he now has in his name and transfer it to the name of the cooperative, as long as there is an agreement and understanding regarding the contract that currently exists and therefore the restaurant can continue operating.
He said the fishermen never too the requirements seriously regarding the revocation of the concession (for not reporting works/construction (obras) in the Federal Zone). In other words, for not making the modification in the terms of their concession.
He said, "When the late Rolando Figueroa was president of the cooperative, I was assisting them to comply with this. In fact, when they rented to me, I helped them to pay for the more than three years that they owed on the payments for the Federal Zone rights."
He said when procedures for revocation of the concession were initiated against the cooperative, he was denied the documentation (expediente) and then he came to find out when the problem was serious.
He said, "Finally, the revocation of the concession arrived in 2015 and to avoid losing the investment and also for the patrimony of the fishermen, I decided to request the area where the palapa is; where the restaurant is; and in the end, I received the concession last year. But I never intended to dispossess them." The lawyers recommended that he put in his request before another person did.
He said that currently, of this section of Federal Zone, the only part that is in order and has a concession is the part that he has. Since the fishermen have done nothing about it, the other part lacks a concessionaire.
He commented, "I am aware that there is a patrimony of the fisherman, who are senior citizens and it is a benefit for them. I am willing to give them the concession as long as they respect the contract that exists, and after the date expires, I am ready for the relationship to end." He said he will seek a discussion with Felipe Trejo to explain the situation and talk about it, but this wasn't possible on the first attempt.
He said his contract with them expires on January 22 of next year and that is the only thing he is asking in exchange for turning over the concession that is now in his name.

The goal is to help children with limited resources and they've extended an invitation to help tobusinesses and the entire student community.
He said, "We have been receiving new and gently-used backpacks that are in good condition and can continue to be used." He said there has been a very good response from the island community, and they hope to meet their goal of collecting 100 backpacks in the next few days.
Backpacks can be brought to the vanilla colored house at the top of the stairs in colonia La Gloria, or people can call 998 165 3539 for pick up.
Another foreigner passed away
http://www.tvislamujeres.com.mx/encuentran-otro-turista-mu…/
July 16 This afternoon staff with the Attorney General (La Fiscalía General) transferred the body of a foreign tourist who apparently died of a sudden heart attack. The Public Security police were notified shortly after 1:30pm about this event in the Villa Fuente apartments, which are on the road to Garrafon.
Inside the apartment of the two level condominium, they found the body of a tourist whose identifications said he was Daniel B. K., 68, from Fukuoka, Japan. On the bed was a white male with white hair, in a reclining, sedentary position.
The managers of the apartment first found the body and immediately notified the Red Cross and the police. The paramedics said there were no vital signs when they arrived and the death appeared to be the result of an acute myocardial infarction.
The managers of the apartments said that he had been a client for five years and today he didn't respond when they knocked on the door, so they decided to enter to see if everything was okay, and they found the body.
No relatives were found, so the appropriate procedures were carried out to transfer the body to SEMEFO and begin the procedure with the embassy to locate his relatives.

Foreign septuagenarian found dead
Encuentran muerto a septuagenario extranjero [+] Ver masFull article at this link
July 16 .- A foreigner of about 70 years was found dead in his apartment this day, apparently due to a heart attack, according to confirmed sources. Red Cross and the police were called to the apartment at La Fuente, located on the road to Garrafon, who verified the death, and staff with the Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministerio Publico de Fuero Comun) took over and began the proceedings for the autopsy that is required by law.
This death occurred less than a week after the death of another foreigner in room #14 of the Marina Pariso, who apparently took an overdose of medication, judging by what was at the scene. That occurred on July 12th. In that same marina, another visitor died in 2001 from an illness, according to collected information.
There are hundreds of foreigners who are senior citizens who reside on the island seasonally, who come seeking the relaxation and tranquility of this place. Many of them are retirees who chose to stay for weeks at a time.
There are also those who have bought houses to live in, which is reflected in the number of people who participate in the social sector at the events that bring us together such as the cultural events on Sundays and for religious purposes. Some like living here with their families and in other cases, they live alone.

The fishermen of the cooperative "Caribe" remain in possession of Minino's restaurant and have hung banners saying "This Federal Zone is in custody of its concessionaires and not of ursurpers" and "Stop abusing the fishermen, you know this is not yours. Leave us alone". The palapa remains surrounded by fishing nets and the pier is also blocked.
The fishermen showed reporters a copy of their concession and of their request for reversal of the concession granted to Martin Trejo, which consists of 498 square meters as well as an "amparo" (judicial paper).
