VVH-TV's Tribute to Nick Monte of Gurney's InnNick Monte (Montemarano), the adored Innkeeper of Long Island's most famous, historic beach resort, Gurney's Inn and founder of the American seawater spa passed away Saturday October 13th in Nevada. He was just a over a month shy of his 91st birthday. Nick was born on November 26, 1916, the fifth of seven boys, in the apartment over their parents restaurant, Monte's Venetian Room on Carol Street.. Neither depressions nor recessions, mayor wars nor minor wars, prohibition nor epidemics ever disrupted the continuity of this tiny Italian restaurant and the love Nick had for his family. In 1932, Nick, only 16 years old, took over the business after his father had an accident, and he had to drop out of Brooklyn Tech. From that moment on Nick Monte become the forever gracious host of Monte's Venetian Room until he acquired Gurney's Inn in 1956 and moved to Montauk. As the story goes, one afternoon in the summer of 1955, a friend in Brooklyn who had a house in Montauk invited Nick to lunch in Montauk with the promise of the best linguini and clam sauce he'd ever tasted. For a man who owned one of the most successful Italian restaurants in Brooklyn, Monte's Venetian Room on Carroll Street, he had to admit he was intrigued. Upon arriving at his friend's home he was offered a glass of wine on the deck overlooking the ocean. The two men sat and talked for some time. They talked and then they talked some more...there they were sitting on the deck sipping wine jovially and languorously, when low and behold, the bottle was gone and lunch was nowhere to be found. So Nick thought it worth mentioning the promised lunch. Since neither of the men was in any condition to cook at that time, they decided to head over to Gurney's Inn for lunch.At the time, Gurney's was owned by Mrs. Maude Gurney, who happened to be a Christian Scientist. Christian Scientists do not believe in the consumption of alcohol, therefore the restaurant carried no liquor whatsoever. Well, here he was in such a beautiful place, with good food and a divine view and the glass of wine Nick Monte would have loved to savor with his meal was nowhere to be found! It seemed he had no choice but to offer to buy the restaurant and hotel from Mrs. Gurney so that he could properly enjoy his meal. Initially, after accepting his card, she refused his offer. But several months later, after giving the offer careful consideration, she phoned Nick to say that she was interested. If you ask him today, he will tell you that he never expected to hear from her ever again. Well, in fairly short order, the deal was struck, and Gurney's Inn became the property of Nick Monte. Always looking to preserve the best of what Montauk had to offer, Mr. Monte was very active and instrumental in having the Montauk Lighthouse designated as a National Historical Monument. On April 17, 1979 when the International Health and Beauty Sea Water Spa was finished, it was officially opened by Mario Cuomo, then Lt. Governor of New York State. To this day it is still the only spa of its kind in the continental United States using healing Seawater in its Roman Baths, the heated indoor seawater pool, and the famous Thalasso-therapies. Nick Monte's passion for Thalasso 'healing sea water' is passed on with the The Annual Nick Monte Lifetime Community Leadership Award which honors a person of the East End community. This individual demonstrates dedication, passion and creativity in preserving and supporting the Montauk community. The honoree has provided valuable service by contributing time and energy to improve the quality of life and preserving of the history of the community. The recipient receives a lifetime spa membership, a gift of health and well being. He is survived by his loving wife of 17 years, Lola and his younger brother Angelo Monte. A memorial service and a celebration of his life are being planned for Sunday, November 18th at Gurney's Inn. Further details will be published when they are finalized. The family has asked that Memorial donations be made to the Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Numbers 28 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet F79 savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season. 3 And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, F80 for a continual burnt offering. 4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even; F81 5 And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil. 6 It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 7 And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering. 8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.9 And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: 10 This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. 11 And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot; 12 And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram; 13 And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. 14 And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 15 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. 17 And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten. 18 In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein: 19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish: 20 And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram; 21 A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs: 22 And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you. 23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. 25 And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work. 26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: 27 But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; 28 And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram, 29 A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; 30 And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you. 31 Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink offerings.
A coalition of public interest groups today called for the federal government to end 30 years of "deliberations and fact finding" by issuing a useful final regulation to require standardized labeling information on beer, wine and distilled spirits products.At a news conference in Washington, members of a broad-based coalition of public health leaders and consumer advocacy organizations used the occasion of Alcohol Awareness Month to release a white paper laying out the need for an easy-to-read, standardized label that will provide consumers with complete information about alcohol and calorie content per serving. Issued as a nationwide call to action, the white paper concludes that easily accessible alcohol labeling can play an important role in reducing alcohol abuse, drunk driving, and the many diseases attributable to excessive alcohol intake, such as liver cirrhosis and cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract.To view Multimedia News Release, go to http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/aam/32795/
Video from my 8mm movies while on leave from Korea to visit my Wife and son. HISTORY: Carnival in Verona dates back to 1531 and is one of the oldest in Italy. That year, due to a food shortage grain prices rose, poor people, especially in the old St Zeno's area, one of the biggest and more crowded in town, were facing starvation. Tommaso Da Vico, a wealthy noble, decided to donate a huge sum for poor people to buy flour to make gnocchi, small dumplings that at that time were poor people main sustenance. In his will Da Vico ordered to distribute every year, on Carnival last Friday, gnocchi and wine to people of St Zeno's area. That's how Veronese Carnival had its origin. Nowadays, on carnival last Friday, called Venerdi' Gnocolar', Gnocchi's Friday, a big parade ending in front of St. Zeno church rides the streets of Verona. The parade is led by Papa' de' gnocco, gnocchi's dad, a mask representing an old king holding, instead of a scepter, a huge fork topped by a big gnocchi. The man who wears the costume is publicly elected in St. Zeno square a month before carnival. Candidates try to buy people's vote offering gnocchi and wine!
