In The Spotlight Lola Lakehouse

Welcome to The Lakehouse West Neighborhood

Abe Zeewy was born in

Romania but left when he

was 18 years old because

conditions were not

favorable for Jews He

overcame the odds and

managed to get to Israel in

1948 the year that Israel

gained its independence

While in Israel he was

drafted into the army and

was trained as an

electronic technician

After Abersquos stay in Israel he traveled to Paris There

he studied electrical engineering for four years Abe

then secured a position in Switzerland as a Chief

Engineer where he developed instruments for the

watch industry

In 1967 Abe arrived in the US and settled in

Cleveland because he was offered a position as a

product engineer Abe taught electronics at Case

Western University In 1977 he started his own

business in electronics which became quite successful

In 1989 a close friend of Abersquos offered him his

apartment in Siesta Key for a short visit Abe fell in

love with Siesta Key and Sarasota and moved

permanently to Sarasota in 2002 This year Abe chose

to make his new home at Lakehouse West

Abe has two children a son who is a lawyer and lives

in Atlanta and a daughter a graphic arts expert who

lives in Philadelphia

As a world traveler Abe saw most of Europe South

America and Asia The one thing that impressed him

the most was when he visited Xian China where he

explored the emperor Qinrsquos terra cotta army of

sculptures

Abe is fluent in Romanian French Hebrew and

English Quite impressive He has varied interests

such as lecturing joke telling and attending theater

opera and concerts

Abe looks forward to participating in bocce the

walking program and lecture programs Abe is

certainly an asset to our Lakehouse West family

Welcome Abe

Interview by Shirley Kritt

What In the World Are they Wearing

Recent questions about our Lakehouse West dress code for

the Dining Room prompted me to take a second look at this

yearrsquos fall fashions Forgive my bewilderment but am I the

only one who thinks that designers are confusing their

creations with Halloween

While fur is not a Florida favorite it seems to be popular

everywhere else this year The shoulders on coats are

constructed of fluffy fox that obscures the face of the model

making her look like an NFL fullback and making me won-

der how she can maintain her balance On the other hand

perhaps itrsquos meant to hide her wrinkled neck Thatrsquos not all

bad but should it be decorating bathing suits as well

Therersquos also some confusion about skirt lengthshow high

is too high And oh those necklines the ones that plunge

beyond the usual limits defying coverage by a scarf to

suggest instead the possibility of a plunge to the floor

Nor do gentlemen escape these cartoonish costumes Has

the idea of wearing a blazer and slacks for casual occasions

been replaced by knee socks and pants that look like a skirt

Do instructions on how to sit down gracefully come along

with the rather obscene price tag

Whatever the inspiration for these crazy costumes Irsquom not

buying it If anyone shows up at your front door wearing

them on October 31 let them look in your closet to see what

real people are wearing this year

Golf Director

Jackie Garn

Dr ldquoSandyrdquo Gordon is a

retired economics professor who

taught at the State University of

New York among many others

He served as an important

member of academic groups

throughout his career After

moving to Florida he continued

his interest in the field and when

he retired to Lakehouse West he

shared his extensive knowledge

through a popular lecture series for residents

But did you know that Sandy is also an excellent and

enthusiastic bridge player He and his late wife were

introduced to the game by friends and the couple found

Duplicate Bridge to be an inexpensive mentally

challenging way to socialize Typically Sandy took to the

game often staying up late to replay hands even as he knew

he had to be teaching students economics at 800 am

When he came to Lakehouse West he was looking for more

competitive bridge and encouraged by others Sandy took

over as Lakehouse West Bridge Director Traditional ldquorubberrdquo

bridge is the game of choice and members of the four teams

choose the day time and place for the monthly games With

the help of Lenny Lentz Bridge Co-chairman Sandy keeps

bridge at Lakehouse West running smoothly

Oscar Arnay as with many

other residents here is reluctant

to talk about himself preferring

instead to focus on the here and

now and what he calls ldquoThe three

Fs at Lakehouse West facilities

food and friendshiprdquo But when

pressed Oscar admits that it may

have been his career in domestic

and international public relations

that gave him the skills to make a

difference here Oscar has served

as treasurer of the Residentsrsquo Association chaired the

Associationrsquos 2013 Holiday Fund Committee and was an

enthusiastic member of the Bocce league On the social side

he regularly co-hosts ldquoWelcome Tablesrdquo with Jackie Garn

Did you also know that Oscar is the behind- the- scenes

proof-reader for Newsbits where his careful attention to

language and content help to keep us informed every month

Oscar says he enjoys doing it and Social Director John

Dionne is grateful for his help so itrsquos a win-win for everyone

An ldquoOverdue Noticerdquo from the Library

There seems to be some confusion about taking books from

our Lakehouse West Library located on the 3rd floor So

wersquod like to go over the procedures We do not use

individual library cards but we do have some simple ways

to track our books and keep them circulating When you

select a book go to the Notebook on the

desk and record the following

1 The date that you are borrowing the

book 2 The authorrsquos name 3 Your name

4 Your apartment number 5 The last

column is where you will record the date

you return the book

On the last page of the book you are

borrowing you will see a place to record

the date you are borrowing the book

(this should be the same as ldquo1rdquo above) and your apartment

number (same as ldquo4rdquo) This will also help you to easily find

the entry in the Notebook on the desk when returning the

book

Please do not exchange a book with another reader until you

have officially returned it and the new reader has officially

borrowed it in hisher name If you wish to donate a book

please leave it on the counter near the sink so that we may

process it before shelving We always welcome comments

suggestions from our readers

In The Spotlight Lola Lakehouse

Welcome to The Lakehouse West Neighborhood

Abe Zeewy was born in

Romania but left when he

was 18 years old because

conditions were not

favorable for Jews He

overcame the odds and

managed to get to Israel in

1948 the year that Israel

gained its independence

While in Israel he was

drafted into the army and

was trained as an

electronic technician

After Abersquos stay in Israel he traveled to Paris There

he studied electrical engineering for four years Abe

then secured a position in Switzerland as a Chief

Engineer where he developed instruments for the

watch industry

In 1967 Abe arrived in the US and settled in

Cleveland because he was offered a position as a

product engineer Abe taught electronics at Case

Western University In 1977 he started his own

business in electronics which became quite successful

In 1989 a close friend of Abersquos offered him his

apartment in Siesta Key for a short visit Abe fell in

love with Siesta Key and Sarasota and moved

permanently to Sarasota in 2002 This year Abe chose

to make his new home at Lakehouse West

Abe has two children a son who is a lawyer and lives

in Atlanta and a daughter a graphic arts expert who

lives in Philadelphia

As a world traveler Abe saw most of Europe South

America and Asia The one thing that impressed him

the most was when he visited Xian China where he

explored the emperor Qinrsquos terra cotta army of

sculptures

Abe is fluent in Romanian French Hebrew and

English Quite impressive He has varied interests

such as lecturing joke telling and attending theater

opera and concerts

Abe looks forward to participating in bocce the

walking program and lecture programs Abe is

certainly an asset to our Lakehouse West family

Welcome Abe

Interview by Shirley Kritt

What In the World Are they Wearing

Recent questions about our Lakehouse West dress code for

the Dining Room prompted me to take a second look at this

yearrsquos fall fashions Forgive my bewilderment but am I the

only one who thinks that designers are confusing their

creations with Halloween

While fur is not a Florida favorite it seems to be popular

everywhere else this year The shoulders on coats are

constructed of fluffy fox that obscures the face of the model

making her look like an NFL fullback and making me won-

der how she can maintain her balance On the other hand

perhaps itrsquos meant to hide her wrinkled neck Thatrsquos not all

bad but should it be decorating bathing suits as well

Therersquos also some confusion about skirt lengthshow high

is too high And oh those necklines the ones that plunge

beyond the usual limits defying coverage by a scarf to

suggest instead the possibility of a plunge to the floor

Nor do gentlemen escape these cartoonish costumes Has

the idea of wearing a blazer and slacks for casual occasions

been replaced by knee socks and pants that look like a skirt

Do instructions on how to sit down gracefully come along

with the rather obscene price tag

Whatever the inspiration for these crazy costumes Irsquom not

buying it If anyone shows up at your front door wearing

them on October 31 let them look in your closet to see what

real people are wearing this year

Golf Director

Jackie Garn

Dr ldquoSandyrdquo Gordon is a

retired economics professor who

taught at the State University of

New York among many others

He served as an important

member of academic groups

throughout his career After

moving to Florida he continued

his interest in the field and when

he retired to Lakehouse West he

shared his extensive knowledge

through a popular lecture series for residents

But did you know that Sandy is also an excellent and

enthusiastic bridge player He and his late wife were

introduced to the game by friends and the couple found

Duplicate Bridge to be an inexpensive mentally

challenging way to socialize Typically Sandy took to the

game often staying up late to replay hands even as he knew

he had to be teaching students economics at 800 am

When he came to Lakehouse West he was looking for more

competitive bridge and encouraged by others Sandy took

over as Lakehouse West Bridge Director Traditional ldquorubberrdquo

bridge is the game of choice and members of the four teams

choose the day time and place for the monthly games With

the help of Lenny Lentz Bridge Co-chairman Sandy keeps

bridge at Lakehouse West running smoothly

Oscar Arnay as with many

other residents here is reluctant

to talk about himself preferring

instead to focus on the here and

now and what he calls ldquoThe three

Fs at Lakehouse West facilities

food and friendshiprdquo But when

pressed Oscar admits that it may

have been his career in domestic

and international public relations

that gave him the skills to make a

difference here Oscar has served

as treasurer of the Residentsrsquo Association chaired the

Associationrsquos 2013 Holiday Fund Committee and was an

enthusiastic member of the Bocce league On the social side

he regularly co-hosts ldquoWelcome Tablesrdquo with Jackie Garn

Did you also know that Oscar is the behind- the- scenes

proof-reader for Newsbits where his careful attention to

language and content help to keep us informed every month

Oscar says he enjoys doing it and Social Director John

Dionne is grateful for his help so itrsquos a win-win for everyone
