Hero who pulled a child out of a river will be trained as a rescuer - Cali - Colombia

Neither the best double of Hollywood action movies, nor the best film director in the world would have achieved the risk scene that Cloromiro Largacha starred in last Wednesday night in Cali, in the east of the city.

This Chocoano, who has lived in the capital of Valle del Cauca for 25 years, jumped into the turbulent waters of the Cauca River to save the life of a six-year-old boy who had been thrown out by his mother. The woman also jumped into the waters of the river, but she swam and reached the shore. Later, she was rescued by firefighters.

The portly Cloromiro, who derives his family’s livelihood from his work at a lumber company specializing in plywood, is the hero of Cali, without a doubt. Not even the actor Tom Cruise, who likes to do the risk scenes in his films, dared so much.

The pride that Caleños feel for Cloromiro was expressed by the city’s mayor, Jorge Iván Ospina, in a tribute they organized to recognize his courage.

“We are more the good ones, those committed to life, those of us who are expressing the main principles of a society, by acting, such as solidarity, andhe accompaniment and caring for life, and that is what Cloromiro has done by saving the life of a child,” said Ospina.

Today we recognized Cloromiro Largacha for his solidarity and courage. He is a Cali hero who saved the life of a 6-year-old boy who had been thrown into the Cauca River.

We are more committed to life!#WeLoveCali 💙❤️💚@JorgeIvanOspina pic.twitter.com/144eltnITc

– Mayor of Cali (@AlcaldiaDeCali) March 4, 2022

Cloromiro, who is the father of two daughters and a follower of salsa and Pacific rhythms, responded to the Mayor’s words with some surprise: “I feel stunned because I am aware that what I did was an act of courage. I am thrilled to have saved this little boy’s life. With this I have been able to reflect that in my life I have learned many values ​​that have led me to risk them for many good causes”, he said.

A man with the qualities as a rescuer of Cloromiro cannot be wasted and for this reason the Mayor’s Office, through the Secretariats of Government and Risk Management, offered him the opportunity to train as a preventionist, and to support with their knowledge the activities related to emergency care. Cloromiro accepted the offer.

The prevention strategy, of which Cloromiro will be a part, will reach communes 8, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16, as well as the villages of Montebello, Golondrinas, La Castilla and La Elvira. Registrations are open.

“I am very happy, very grateful to the Mayor’s Office and the media for the recognition they give me for something that came from my heart. I don’t want to imagine what would have happened to the boy if I didn’t jump into the river to help him. I feel that we are going to be united and when he grows up he will thank me, ”said Cloromiro, who also received gifts for him and his family.

Rising Cauca River threatens La Mojana Sucreña - Other Cities - Colombia

The heavy rains that have hit various regions of the country in recent weeks caused a new alert in the La Mojana subregion due to new floods in the sector known as ‘cat’s face’.

In this area, located in San Jacinto del Cauca, Bolívar, reconstruction work is being carried out on a hole to prevent flooding in the 11 municipalities included in the departments of Sucre, Bolívar, Córdoba and Antioquia.

(Also: They would have murdered her to steal her new truck in Barranquilla)

However, the rains caused the Cauca river to have a sudden rise of 1.90 meterswhich caused alert and concern in this area of ​​the country, since the works were affected.

The first complaints from the residents indicated that the works, which have been going on for more than five months, had collapsed.

This situation occurred at the same time that the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (UNGRD), in charge of the work, announced that the union of the southern end and the northern end of a 1,234 m jarillón had been carried out. in length, a key step for this emergency mitigation work.

“The megabags were moved from the place of closure and a space of approximately 40 to 50 meters was opened again, in addition, the power lines located in the sector were demolished, leaving Guaranda without electricity,” said Arcesio Paredes, a resident of San Jacinto del Cauca.

(Read: More than 3 thousand families affected in Chocó by heavy rains)

However, from the UNGRD they clarify that this situation does not mean that the works have collapsed. Although they acknowledge that a rise of 1.90 meters was not expected, which caused the water to exceed the level at the time of the work, this was not the final level.

In other words, after closing the points, which was what was achieved this week, The next step is to increase the level to avoid damages after a flood like the one that occurred this week.

“We are on the ground and we have never stopped working on the construction site. We will continue working on this stream until the level is above the levels of the Cauca River so that the water does not exceed the structure, thus mitigating the impact of the floods in the entire La Mojana region. The Unit team met yesterday with the communities and authorities in the area to jointly continue these works, which by their very nature are complex. Our commitment to the communities continues”, assured the director of the UNGRD, Eduardo José González.

For the communities surrounding the ‘cat face’ sector, it is necessary to wait for the levels of the Cauca River to drop before resuming the closure works and once again solving the situation that has arisen.

“If it continues to rain and the river grows, we will be headed for a new emergency due to flooding. We trust that this is not the case and that the closure in this place is a reality,” Paredes said.

In addition, for leaders of the La Mojana region, the closure with the megabags is not enough to conclude the work in this critical point of the region.

They say that a dredging job must be done in the place and on an island that was formed in front of ‘cat’s face’, in addition to building a garden in the back of where the Risk Unit carried out the work.

In fact, yesterday the dredging work began in this sector, reported the UNGRD
“This is just the beginning. The definitive closure in the place is with the completion of the complementary works”, the leaders of the region have stated.

To continue with the work, there are seven crawler backhoes, eight dump trucks, a dredger and two boats with the required machinery in the area.

(Read in context: Drama of a woman who threw herself with her son into the Cauca River in Cali)

After 7:00 pm on Wednesday, March 3, Cloromiro Largacha was walking with a brother, after his shift at a wood company specializing in plywood.

They left the industrial sector of the La Dolores corregimiento, in the Palmira jurisdiction, separated from Cali by the Cauca River bridge, in the so-called Paso del Comercio.

Both were walking in a hurry in search of a transport, because Cloromiro had had a problem with his motorcycle.

Under the dim lights of the public lighting service they saw when a woman and a child entered from the other side of the Cauca river bridge. Suddenly, in an act that was amazing, she picked up the child and threw him into those waters.

It was an uncertain fall from that bridge inaugurated in 1978. Cloromiro, a stocky man, looked out and saw the boy struggling to survive.

He did not think for a second and threw himself into the flow of that river that runs 1,350 kilometers between seven departments of Colombia.

It was not an easy decision in that darkness and in a river that has been affected by pollution along its way.

Cloromiro advanced thanks to the fact that he is a good swimmer and he saw how the boy was swimming his arms. Then he got closer to her and managed to grab her.

He says that he felt how the seconds passed and passed until he reached the shore. Her brother and others approached them to help them out of the water and onto the road. The 5-year-old boy asked where his mother was.

She also swung her arms and was able to get out and stayed in that area where there are bushes. Minutes later the firefighters and the police appeared.

The minor was sheltered and loaded into a vehicle to be taken first to a health center. There he was notified to the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF).

The commander of the Metropolitan Police of Cali, Brigadier General Juan Carlos León, said that the community reported the case and agents from the Group for the Protection of Children and Adolescents arrived, who began the route of reestablishing children’s rights, with the ICBF.

The mother showed a state of alteration and the authorities were reviewing the prosecution process that would be for the crime of attempted homicide.

Magdalena River threatens to overflow in Honda- Tolima - Other Cities - Colombia

Since mid-February, the Magdalena River as it passes through the municipality of Honda, Tolima, has been gradually increasing its flow due to heavy rains, which has alerted the neighborhoods and villages located on the banks of this tributary.

“On days of permanent rains we have had a worrying level above 7 meters, which puts about 10 neighborhoods and villages on alert,” said César Santana, fire commander at Honda, who clarified that, so far, “the river it has not overflowed and its flow remains stable”.

He pointed out that the overflow occurs when the level exceeds 8 meters, which brings emergencies due to flooding in the homes of the Panchigua, Bodega Sur neighborhoods and Pacho Mario Avenue, which is almost above the tributary and where numerous fishermen reside.

Inhabitants of Pacho Mario Avenue pointed out that “we are afraid because the rains increase the flow, and if it continues to rain as much as possible, there will be floods.”

“In March it has rained day and night and at any moment we are going to have floods in our homes,” said the fishermen.

Other neighborhoods with the possibility of flooding due to rains are La Magdalena, Planadas, Caracolí, Libertador, La Bujona, Santa Lucía, Santa Bárbara and Pueblo Nuevo, as well as the villages of El Mesuno and Perico.

In winter seasons, Honda also has difficulties due to the flooding of the Padilla ravine and the Gualí river, which, last February, caused severe damage to the La Picota spa, one of the most visited by tourists.

This year the Padilla creek has overflowed twice causing damage to homes and crops in some villages.

Barranquilla: crossing the Magdalena River is a tourist trend - Barranquilla - Colombia

For each inhabitant of Barranquilla, being and doing since the beginning of time has been linked to the Magdalena River. And while it is curious: just a few years ago, most locals and visitors had the opportunity to see it daily, delight in its wind, and be impressed by the landscapes it offers from dawn to dusk.

In the Atlantic Capital, even those who have never seen the river have a strong relationship with it. They sell, buy, eat and wear what came through their current. They are children or distant descendants of those who arrived thanks to their flow, or simply, they give free rein to their emotions with the folklore that flowed into the city.

(Atlántico grows in tourism and these are some of the best plans)

In addition, an extraordinary point represents the option of walking on the body of water at any time and living moments worthy of poetry, such as when the sunset is appreciated. This detail was understood by a group of young businessmen, who after planning, jumped into the water with an option that is already more than a simple tourist plan.

“It all started one day when a friend invited us for a ride on the river in a family boat. It is at that moment that one notices how indifferent it has remained in the face of the wealth of the city,” said Johann Rodríguez, one of the Magdatours businessmen, moved.

What does it consist of?

The Atlantic has many natural paradises and to travel along the river is to understand our identity

Starting from a pier found in the sector of Flowers, that it offers guarded parking, is the first detail that captivates those who sign up for the tour.

The plan continues aboard the Gulf of Morrosquillo I vessel, complying with the security measures and, according to what is established, the tour begins.

(Tourist Garden, a new color treasure narrated by Barrio Abajo)

Plans vary and can take travelers to see the city near the Malecón, experience the sunset under the Pumarejo Bridge and return under the stars.

There are also tours of the Isla Salamanca park, heading towards Mouths of Ash and even culminating in the marine waters of Caño Dulce or Puerto Velero.

“The Atlantic has many natural paradises and to travel along the river is to understand our identity. To all this we have added that we have Dimar’s permits to navigate at any time, and those who decide to take a walk can set the time or the route without any complexity”, added Rodríguez.

From tours that have a tour guide who thoroughly details what the Magdalena River means for the city, to parties with a DJ included, they are part of what those who board can experience.

“This tourism focused on the beauty of nature is also very versatile. The experience, for example, for someone who does not know the city is unique, or also for a Barranquillan who barely discovers its treasures. Another point is that the experience is educational and school institutions have already begun to get closer, as well as hotels and tourism agencies,” Rodríguez revealed.

Capturing photographs that only offers the landscape composed of river and sky, or both having the sea as the closest neighbor, is one of the charms that attracts to the tours.

In this story, the best thing is that in the extensive trajectory of the Magdalena River, the chapter of its tourist rebirth is just beginning.

Van a ser total 7 millones de dolares por Carrascal. Prestamo con obligacion de compra al CSKA de Moscu. Se va de #River

— Sebastián Srur (@Sebasrur) February 9, 2022

Con el cuadro millonaruio de Núñez, ‘Carrasca’ disputó un total 81 partidos anotando 9 goles.

Al parecer, con la llegada de Juan Fernando Quinterio, su compatriota, el jugador tuvo que ceder la camiseta «10» y además no habría sido tenido en cuenta por el DT para esta nueva temporada, situación que terminó por la toma de decisión del joven mediocampista colombiano.

Se espera que al finalizar la semana, se oficialice el fichaje de Carrascal y sea presentado en Moscú el próximo 26 de febrero cuando inicie la Liga Premier Rusa.
