Mayor: Benefits of wage law
| This new law to Regulate Remuneration of Public Servants applies to Quintana Roo and was unanimously approved by the City Council. It includes disclosure of salaries to the public, and lists wages in terms of salary, compensations, awards, bonuses, and other benefits, which will be published on a website. It includes the restriction that "No public official may earn more than the governor, and no public official, including mayors, can earn more than half the salary of the state governor. ". The Mayor of Isla Mujeres, Hugo Sanchez Montalvo, said this is a good law and it is too bad it was not enacted years ago. The income of City executives have quintupled in "just over 10 years" from 9000 pesos in 1999 to more than 53,600 in "this year of 2014" (Which would be 15 years, and from $750dlls to ~$4500. Across the top it says: Level, amount paid every 15 days, base pay, then compensations. Under Classifications, it lists: Mayor, union, aldermen, directors, & department heads.) | ||

Junk food removed from schools

Salud
Retiran comida chatarra de escuelas
0 19 de agosto de 2013
Por Carlos Gasca.- Yesterday there was an official ceremony at the elementary school "Andres Quintana Roo" for the start of classes which included the representative for the Deptartment of Education & Culture, Gilberto Avalos Galue. A reporter asked about the policies of not allowing junk food at the school, and he categorically rejected that junk food is being sold inside the school campuses. He said this is a federal mandate and not unique to this state government, while stressing that it is the responsibility of COFEPRIS to monitor this (Federal Commission for the Protection against Health Risks). He said the high levels of childhood obesity lead to the removal of bottled drinks and unhealthy snacks. He urged parents to provide good nutrition at home. He said there will be ongoing monitoring at the schools, which is not new.

Critter events...
It is currently the season for swimming with the whale sharks, and turtles are mating offshore & nesting on the eastern beaches. The mating is visible by day, especially off Punta Sur, the South Point. The nesting happens in the wee hours, and there are Tortugranja personnel, volunteers, and Naval staff monitoring the beaches to prevent people from disrupting them, and to gather and transport the eggs for incubation.
By far, most of the turtles nesting in Isla Mujeres are Green turtles (called Blancas in Spanish), and the second most common are the huge Loggerheads, and there are some Hawksbills. The Green turtles take ~60 days to hatch and are held in the water tanks at the Tortugranja until the hatchlings are released by the public at events at dusk on Media Luna or Guadalupana. These events will occur periodically until early October and are usually announced a day or two in advance. They are rescheduled if the sea is rough.
Lately there have been many rays, in addition to many whale sharks. From MVC, we have been seeing dolphins from the balcony, and some large fish while snorkeling offshore. Lotsa mama turtles visiting our beach lately!
There are small red crabs that migrate to & from the sea in July-August, watch out for them at night on the coastal road at the southeastern part of the isle.
Lobster season began July 1 and continues until the end of February.
It's not rainy this week, but this week they are crossing b/c of the full moon. It says Due to the excessive amount of rain we are crossing the streets. Please slow your speed and try not to smash us. .
