Juventino Perez Padilla | Street construction | New Recycle Diva

Jimenez, who has lived and worked here since arriving from Guadalajara several years ago, started volunteering with the project last winter. "I am an educator. I used to be a teacher," she explained, adding that it is vital to teach the importance of recycling and the environment. "I want to wake up the unconscious minds to see the benefits of a clean Sayulita," she added. Over several months, Jimenez slowly became more involved; attending meetings, volunteering her time at the depot, and helping sell canvas bags as an alternative to plastic. She was impressed by the local residents who run the depot, and describes them as "super enthusiastic and super organized." But she noted that visitors from other countries tend to volunteer here more then locals, possibly because they have recycling at home. Her goal is to increase local participation.
"I am very happy and thankful," she said, of the funding she hopes to receive, adding that it won't make anyone rich, but it will offset the cost to run the program in the three communities. Each community has a plan and will coordinate their efforts. San Pancho's depot will become the primary depot from which the recyclables from all three towns will be shipped out.
Jimenez, quien ha vivido y trabajado aqui desde que llego de Guadalajara hace ya varios anos, empezo como voluntaria de dicho proyecto el pasado invierno. "Soy educadora. Solia ser una profesora," explica, agregando que es vital ensenar la importancia del reciclaje asi como del medio ambiente. "Quiero despertar las mentes inconsientes para que vean los benaficios de una Sayulita limpia" agrega. A traves de varios meses, Jimenez poco a poco se fue involucrando mas: asistia a reuniones, voluntaria en el deposito y ayudando a vender bolsas de tela como alternativa a las de plastico. Quedó impresionada con los residentes locales quienes están a cargo del centro de reciclaje, y los describe como "super entusiastas y super organizados." Pero ella se dio cuenta de que los visitantes de otros paises tienden a participar como voluntarios mas que los locales, posiblemente porque hay programas de reciclaje en los lugares de donde vienen. Su meta es incrementar la participacion local.
On August 25, 2009 construction resumed with the installation of new plumbing and drainage between the main avenue Revolución and Calle Manuel Rodriguez Sanchez, on the north end of the village. The installation will also level off the street, which had been badly riddled with potholes and large puddles over the past few months.
According to supervising engineer Efrain Salva Avila (pictured), who heads the team in charge of the work from Bahia Teak Construcciones Inmobiliaria, this portion of Calle Miramar will take approximately seven days to finish and he plans on continuing down Calle Miramar towards the beach. The whole process will take approximately 22 days to complete depending on the weather. This project causes the road's closure during the late mornings and afternoons. Resident's are urged not to park in the areas where construction is going on and to use an alternate route when necessary. The road is still passable by pedestrians and bicycles, as well as by cars during the evening and early morning hours.
El 25 de Agosto de 2009, recomenzó la construcción en la zona norte del pueblo con la instalación de la nueva tubería del drenaje y agua potable entre la Avenida Revolución y la Calle Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez en. Con dicha instalación también se nivelara la calle, la cual ha sido terriblemente dañada por las lluvias, las cuales hacen grandes baches y enormes charcos.
De acuerdo con el supervisor, Ing. Efraín Salva Ávila, quien dirige el equipo a cargo de dicho trabajo, de la Inmobiliaria y Construcciones de la Bahía, para terminar esta parte de la calle Miramar, les tomara aproximadamente siete días; después de esto, el planea continuar en la misma calle, rumbo a la playa. Todo el proceso tomara aproximadamente 22 días para lograr completarlo, dependiendo claro, del clima. Este proyecto hace que la calle este cerrada al transito durante la mayor parte del día. Se les recomienda a los residentes de la calle no estacionar sus coches en las áreas donde se esta construyendo, así como usar una ruta alternativa si es necesario. El camino es intransitable pero los caminantes todavía pueden circular por la misma, así también como las bicicletas y los coches, por las tardes y muy temprano por la mañana.
Sugar was rescued from the street when she was just a puppy by a local family. Unlike many cats and dogs in Sayulita, she's been given a second chance at life because of the loving care from her foster friends. Sugar is 5 months old, spayed, vaccinated, in excellent health, and ready to find her way into a permanent, good home. This sweet dog would make a great addition to your family as she loves children, cats, and other dogs.
1. Name of Interviewee: Juventino Perez Padilla
6. Business History? When we first moved to Sayulita I looked for an ideal spot to open a small grocery store. In 1972 my wife and I opened El Chorrito and sold different types of groceries on the corner of Calle Playa Azul and Calle Manuel Rodriguez Sanchez. My wife and I continued running it when we had the opportunity to change it to a liquor store in 1999. The liquor store, I feel is much easier. Most liquor, for example, doesn't have an expiration date, or at least not one you really need to worry about unlike the grocery store which was a constant issue. The other benefit in my opinion is that we deal with about 90 percent less distributors now compared to when we ran the grocery store.
10. What is something you would like to see changed in Sayulita? I would like to say nothing but the more I walk in the early morning along the beach, I see both businesses as well as residences washing off their areas with a hose. This unfortunately goes straight to the beach and eventually the sea. I would like people to be more aware of water usage. So to answer the question, I would like to see people going back to the old broom and dust pan to clean.
