ISLA MUJERES, 21 de septiembre.- At 7pm, municipal police received a 911 call reporting a burglary at a residence in colonia Miraflores. They responded immediately and arrived to find that angry residents had bound a teenager to a street pole. According to witnesses, the young man, who was wearing a dress, had been surprised in a house, where he allegedly tried to take a cell phone and money, but after receiving some blows he was restrained and bound to a pole until the police arrived. The police took him to the station, then turned him over to the municipal authorities of the DIF, social service agency. The DIF personnel found that the boy had no visible blows or injuries.

15 cases of conjunctivitis in 24 hours
Se disparan casos de conjuntivitis
En menos de 48 horas
Lanrry PARRA
ISLA MUJERES, 21 de septiembre.-
In a matter of 24 hours, 15 cases of conjunctivitis were diagnosed at the Community Hospital in Isla Mujeres, according to its Director, Miguel Angel García Albarrán. He said these cases have been treated and they are working to promote information to help prevent the spread among families throughout the municipality. He said most of the cases have been recorded among students, and while there is an adequate amount of medicines available for treatment, prevention is very important.
He said, "Every patient we've had with this disease has been advised that hand washing is of vital importance. It has been scientifically proven that washing hands prevents not only conjunctivitis but other infectious diseases" ,
He said that in order to inform the community about preventive measures, the staff in charge of various programs will conduct a campaign about prevention and sanitary measures, which has already begun with visits to the schools. This effort involves staff from PROSPERA and people in charge of programs like Niño Sano/ Healthy Children, with programs in the schools that include putting up posters and providing classes about handwashing.
He reiterated that the hospital has an adequate supply of medications and noted that handwashing is a very basic action, which all people know, and is a very simple technique for preventing diseases caused by bacteria and viruses, which are associated with hot weather.

From the Municipal Facebook site..... ( FB page link)
In Isla Mujeres during the "Third National Health Week for Adolescents" we will inform our young people about risks and actions to prevent various diseases. LINK
Juana Milián González, municipal director of Health, said that on instructions from President Juan Carrillo Soberanis, the City of Isla Mujeres will conduct discussion with young people in the Continental Zone and the Island, encouraging them to protect themselves and to take care of situations that risk their health.
He said, "The topics that are being given special attention in this program has to do with the issue of prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), teenage pregnancies and the proper use of condoms precisely to avoid this type of situations."
The National Health Week is held from September 18 to 22 at the initiative of the State Health Department, which is joined by state and municipal governments through programs that have a positive impact on youth.
The protection of turtles and local fauna is everyone's duty.
#HagamosFuturo/#Creating a Future with respect for the life of every animal on our island LINK
She explained that upon examination, the turtle was found to have a serious head injury, apparently caused by a blunt or heavy object, which caused her death, and that the alleged perpetrator or perpetrators of this act had fled, leaving the turtle abandoned; however, investigations will continue to clarify these facts.
She said that the instructions from the municipal president of Isla Mujeres, Juan Carrillo Soberanis have been clear regarding care and preservation of the flora and fauna "for which we condemn any act against them."
Ms. Garcia Canto said that these acts are classified as federal crime, because turtles are a protected species that come year after year to the coast of the island for nesting. Therefore, officials are asking that all citizens denounce any type of predation against sea turtles and in this way, continue their preservation.
Our programs and supports aimed at the children and young people 👦👧of Isla Mujeres encourage development and benefit their learning✏📕📒#We're making a healthy future LINK VIDEO
Most of this information was translated with the first annual Informe report about the municipal government's commitment to providing quality education for the students of Isla Mujeres. This includes providing 1,015 school uniforms to middle school school students throughout the municipality, which not only has a positive impact on the economy of the parents, but also with the local providers, by hiring seamstresses who made these uniforms.
The municipal government delivered more than 100 electronic tablets to the students of the Fifth Semester classes at the high school in Ciudad Mujeres (on the mainland) and at the Isla Mujeres high school on the island, as part of the "School Digitization Program".
On the mainland, the "Alicia Márquez de Martínez" library was inaugurated, the first of its kind in the Continental Zone. Meanwhile, on the island, a digital library opened.
An agreement has been signed to implement "Volunquest" in the schools "Program of English in Basic Education", benefiting more than 1,800 students from all over the municipality.
Mayor Carrillo Soberanis noted that these programs and supports will be maintained during his government, maintaining his commitment to promote and strengthen education in the municipality, benefiting the economy of parents and especially students by providing them with the tools and spaces needed for their education and learning.
Iñaki Rodiz Rodríguez will represent #IslaMujeres at the "2nd Juvenile Congress of the State of Quintana Roo 2017" in the city of #Chetumal.Let's support her with #Islander Pride! LINK
Oswaldo González Barredo, director of the Municipal Institute of Youth, said that in order to encourage greater participation by young islanders, a pre-selection of candidates was carried out in the municipal phase, where this young man who is in the 5th semester class at the Liceo del Caribe "Jean Piaget" school was chosen as the winner.
Mr. Gonzalez Barredo said, "We're happy to know that in our town we have so many talented young people who stand out in the cultural, social, educational, sports and for their leadership. And, through the Institute of Youth, the municipal president Juan Carrillo Soberanis has instructed us to give them our full support so that they continue to raise the name of Isla Mujeres."
The "2nd Juvenile Congress of the State of Quintana Roo 2017" is promoted by the Commission for Youth Development with Equal Opportunities of the XV Legislature, chaired by Deputy Tyara Schleske of Ariño, with the purpose of providing young residents of Quintana Roo with an opportunity for analysis and expression in which they can communicate their proposals to enrich the state regulatory framework.
Iñaki Rodiz Rodríguez, accompanied by the director of the Liceo del Caribe "Jean Piaget", Patricia Rodríguez Estrada and his teachers, said that he is very proud to be able to represent and be a spokesperson for young islanders at this highly relevant event, in which he hopes, with the support of his advisors, teachers, school . and the municipal authorities to have an exceptional participation.
Take precautions and be alert to any symptoms of #conjuntivitis. Your health comes first!

Rescuers from Isla Mujeres join forces to rescue victims of the earthquake LINK
See yesterday's translations. TVIM was in contact with the rescue team from Isla Mujeres and says: "The brigadistas informed us that they were preparing to collaborate in the rescue work in colonia Roma, in the Cuauhtémoc delegation in the area of Alvaro Obregón street, near the Seville station, and that from the moment of their arrival as they have been working wherever their assistance has been required. It is noted that the men and women of the island have responded from the first moment when aid was requested.
Quintana Roo: The 9th most peaceful state in Mexico LINK
Today marks the International Day of Peace, and Quintana Roo remains the ninth state according to the Mexico Peace Index (IPM) 2017, a study prepared by the Institute for Economy and Peace, where Yucatan is the first place; while among the most violent states are Guerrero, Colima, Sinaloa, Baja California and Baja California Sur.
According to the study, the most violent year was in 2011, when armed activites peaked and the homicide rate doubled, compared to 2006. However, in 2016, ten years after the federal government declared war on the narco cartels, peace deteriorated 4.3 percent. However, despite the deterioration in 2016, Mexico remains almost 14% more peaceful in 2016 than it was in 2011, with 21 of the 32 states reporting progress.
In this area, Nayarit, Durango, Coahuila, Quintana Roo and Chihuahua show the greatest improvements in peace in the last six years, while Colima, Baja California Sur, Zacatecas, Oaxaca and Michoacán show the greatest deterioration. The latter five states have increased homicide rates, particularly Colima, whose homicide rate in 2016 was three times higher than it was in 2011. According to the IPM 2017 study, four important areas of public policy that are crucial for achieving high levels of peace are described as: combating impunity, strengthening the police, strategies to reduce homicide rates and the role of local governments in solving problems.Corruption and low-wages for police
In 2016, the state of Quintana Roo recorded both the largest improvement overall, and the largest reduction in homicide rate: at 23% and 26%, respectively. The state had lagged behind in improvements like the rest of the country between 2011 and 2015. The state stalled in the second half of the Index until 2016, when it climbed 11 places to settle as the ninth most peaceful state. Although Quintana Roo has improved in the study of the Index of Peace Mexico, the perception of the population is contrary, especially in the Northern Zone of the State, where Cancún leads the list of executions so far this year, ~125 victims, followed by Playa del Carmen and recently the newly created municipality of Puerto Morelos, where five executions were recorded within a week. Hence the population continues to mistrust the police and considers that they are permeated by criminal groups; however, the recent study indicates that the overall perception of corruption in local police forces decreased by 6%. This means that for local governments, it is still a matter to improve development and confidence in the police.
Although the internal security IEP investigation reveals that police oversight is most effective when there is a high level of legitimacy in judicial processes and law enforcement. While the low wages of police officers have contributed to corruption and co-optation by organized crime, high wages are associated with higher levels of development and professionalization of police forces. In view of the great job-related risks and the rewards offered by organized crime, wages should be an adequate compensation for police officers.
Another important challenge for Mexico is to reduce levels of impunity. On average, only 9% of crimes committed are punished.
Finally, the findings of the IPM 2017 highlight the need to keep pace with the implementation of justice reform and improve accountability. Mexico has made progress - and will continue to do so - as the rule of law and the quality of governance and law enforcement are strengthened, but it still faces enormous challenges, including a rising homicide rate coupled with high levels of impunity .

Once again the families of Isla Mujeres join social causes. Staff with Mango Café have been conducting a campaign to collect food and basic necessities to support the earthquake victims in Oaxaca.
Polo Ávila, originally from Oaxaca and responsible for the well-known restaurant, explained that together with his staff, they started this donation campaign, with the intention of bringing aid to affected communities.
The owner said that what Oaxaca needs at the moment is: canned food, personal hygiene products, clothes, sheets and tents/tarps (pabellones) because "there are people who were homeless and sleeping in the streets."
He said, "We set up a collection center at Mango Café to receive donations until Saturday, and then the groceries will be packed up so we can deliver them personally. Many organizations have been helping and if there are more items than space, the only thing to do is seek the donation of another vehicle to go with us."
Polo Ávila said that when he arrives in the Oaxaca, he will purchase water with the help of his family, since a large number of people, both islanders and foreigners , have provided economic support. He said he is grateful that many families have joined this noble cause, with an open invitation to continue supporting the collection centers of Isla Mujeres.

Successful "Spend the weekend in Isla Mujeres" campaign LINK
With the purpose of increasing overnight tourism in Isla Mujeres, the government headed by the municipal president Juan Carrillo Soberanis launched a campaign called "Spend this weekend om Isla Mujeres" / “Lánzate este fin de semana a Isla Mujeres", according to the General Director of Municipal Tourism, José Castillo Magaña. He explained that this program includes attractive packages for tourists to spend a pleasant weekend at the destination which in turn will contribute economic benefits for the municipality .
He said throughout the month of September, different hotels are offering packages from 1,780 pesos three days and two nights. (that's 890.pesos per night or ~$55usd.) Mr. Castillo Magaña concluded that this would undoubtedly generate significant economic gains, for the benefit of different providers of tourism services, which contributes to the well-being of their families.

The Isla Mujeres taxi union, "Gustavo Díaz Ordaz", has been divided since the leader "Wato" Peniche Rodríguez completed a fourth term and conducted a controversial election. He had previously been the leader for nine years, and the taxi union regulations only allow for two re-elections of three years each. However, he prevailed for a fourth term which ended on January 4, and he wanted a fifth term. An opposition group challenged him in court after political circumstances changed when there was a change of party at the state level, so that the the state government no longer offered him protection.
"Wato" Peniche Rodríguez has not been recognized by the state and federal labor authorities and faces several denunciations in the courts, among them is an amparo that was requested and denied, therefore, his current term which began in January by "acclamation" in December of 2016 with the controversial election, is no longer legal.
Now "Wato" and the leaders who oppose him are agreeing to a meeting on November 4th to elect new leadership, which will need to be authorized by the Local Board of Conciliation and Arbitration (JLCA). One of the taxi drivers said, "There are many partners who do not want to be on any side, and they want to cast their votes in the polls without pressure from anyone; an open and democratic vote should be promoted, under the circumstances of these new times"
