Amos, sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your time, the
problem is also in the squid logs, first how I switch on the
template?. To fix the time in the logs I have to modify the LogFormat
of squid but I tried all the possibilities and does not change, which
I recommend.?


Please stop thinking of this as a fix. It is not, what you are doing 
is _breaking_ things in order to get a little bit of temporary comfort.


To change the logs you need to write your own log format to display 
local time instead of the transactions UTC time 
(http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/logformat/). Be aware this breaks 
almost all log processing and analysis tools, as well as causing the 
logs to display time-travel behaviour when 
leap-seconds/minutes/hours/days or daylight savings changes happen.

Squid uses the system time() and strftime() API calls to locate UTC/GMT 
time details. If the values presented there are wrong your system kernel 
is broken somehow.

NP: the times logged by Squid is *completion* time for each request. Not 
start time.

 The error pages are supposed to be UTC. Unless you changed them to be
 local timezone or something strange.

Notice the CDT versus GMT timezone labels.

This page explains what they are and how they work.
http://timeanddate.com/time/time-zones.html

Basically, CDT is your local Cuban daylight savings time, where the 
server is.
Add 4 hours and that is the UTC/GMT timezone the Internet is 
coordinated with.



We emit GMT in the error pages so it is easier to correlate them as 
reported by users with the logged UTC/GMT timestamp, and to avoid 
complaints about server information leakages. You can change the 
template %T to %t if you really want the servers local timezone to be 
revealed to any visitors.
