Zev Cywin is one of our leading bloggers, always seeking clarity of thought, whatever the issue. He's always willing to engage you in a healthy conversation. Zev is also an Oro Valley volunteer, serving, at the moment, on the Art Commission.
We haven't heard from him recently because Zev has been in Intensive Care in the Oro Valley Hospital for 12 days. He is seriously ill and "holding his own." We don't want to get into the details. We just wanted you to know.
We'll keep you updated as we learn more.
In the meantime, perhaps our Prayers can help him out.

Oro Valley Council Votes To Extend Municipal Pool Hours
As reported in the Az Star, the Town Council voted unanimously to extend the hours of operation at the Municipal Pool at Kriegh Park.
Two points in the article caught our eye.
Vice Mayor Bill Garner asking why the decision to curtail hours was made without council approval. "To me this is budget, it should have come back to the council before this was done," Garner said at the Oct. 20 meeting.
More so, Council Member Joe Hornat stating "it's necessary to determine the long-term approach Oro Valley needs to generate revenue from the town-operated pool."
Hornat admitted that funding studies isn't (sic) popular with the Town Council, "but this one looks like it could make us some money," he said.
That begs the question---Doesn't the Super Majority of the council believe that the police department study that they "killed" have enough merit to "look like it could make us some money" --- especially when that budget accounts for almost 50% of the whole town budget?
That leads me to wonder---what are the priorities of THIS Council?
Here's The Star article.
