ROME A fast-food eatery at Pompeii has been excavated, helping to reveal dishes that were popular for the citizens of the ancient Roman city who were partial to eating out.

Pompeii Archaeological Parks longtime chief, Massimo Osanna, said Saturday that while some 80 such fast-foods have been found at Pompeii, it is the first time such a hot-food-drink eatery known as a thermopolium was completely unearthed.

A segment of the fast-food counter was partially dug up in 2019 during work to shore up Pompeiis oft-crumbling ruins. Since then, archeologists kept digging, revealing a multi-sided-counter, with typical wide holes inserted into its top. The countertop held deep vessels for hot foods, not unlike soup containers nestled into modern-day salad bars.

Plant and animal specialists are still analyzing remains from the site, with its counter frescoed with a figure of an undersea nymph astride a horse. Images of two upside-down mallards and a rooster, whose plumage was painted with the typical vivid color known as Pompeiian red, also brightened the eatery and likely served to advertise the menu.

Another fresco depicted a dog on a leash, perhaps not unlike modern reminders to leash pets. Vulgar graffiti were inscribed on the painting's frame.

Valeria Amoretti, a Pompeii staff anthropologist, said initial analyses confirm how the painted images represent, at least in part, the foods and beverages effectively sold inside. Her statement noted that duck bone fragment was found in one of the containers, along with remains from goats, pigs, fish, and snails. At the bottom of a wine container were traces of ground fava beans, which in ancient times were added to wine for flavor and to lighten its color, Amoretti said.

"We know what they were eating that day, said Osanna, referring to the day of Pompeiis destruction in 79 A.D. The food remains indicated whats popular with the common folk, Osanna told Rai state TV, noting that street-food places werent frequented by the Roman elite.

One surprise find was the complete skeleton of a dog. The discovery intrigued the excavators, since it wasn't a large, muscular dog like that painted on the counter but of an extremely small example" of an adult dog, whose height at shoulder level was 20-to-25 centimeters (8-to-10 inches), Amoretti said. It's rather rare, Amoretti said, to find remains from ancient times of such small dogs, discoveries that "attest to selective breeding in the Roman epoch to obtain this result.

Also unearthed were a bronze ladle, nine amphorae, which were popular food containers in Roman times, a couple of flasks, and a ceramic oil container.

Successful restaurateurs know that a good location can be crucial, and the operator of this ancient fast-food place seemed to have found a good spot. Osanna noted that right outside the eatery was a small square with a fountain, with another thermopolium in the vicinity.

Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which is near present-day Naples. Much of the ancient city still lies unexcavated. The site is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions.

With a new year on the horizon comes a reminder from the Long Beach Island Health Department that its important to learn the correct ways to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria that can cause food-borne illness.

Germs that cause food poisoning survive in many places, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So, its important to wash hands and surfaces in the kitchen often with soap and water. When washing utensils, cutting boards and countertops remember to use hot, soapy water. Fruits and vegetables should be run under water prior to being eaten or used in cooking.

To stop the spread of food bacteria, the CDC suggests keeping raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs separate from all other foods in the refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination. Food should be cooked thoroughly to the right temperature, which can be aided by a food thermometer to ensure foods reach the internal temp that kills germs.

For whole cuts of beef, pork, veal and lamb, the internal temperature should reach 145F (then allow the meat to rest for three minutes) before carving or eating. For ground cuts of meat, the temperature should reach 160F.

The safe internal temperature for all poultry, including ground chicken and turkey, is 165F. Fin fish should be cooked until its flesh is opaque, about 145F.

The danger zone for food is between 40F and 140F, according to the CDC. Bacteria can spread rapidly in these temperatures.

Refrigerating foods at the appropriate temperature is just as important as making sure it cooked all the way through. Food kept in the fridge should be at 40F or below. Refrigerate perishable food within two hours. Thaw out meat safely in the refrigerator using cold water, or in the microwave. Never thaw foods on the counter.

Leftover food should be thrown out after four days.

With Christmas just days away, Haverhill Salvation Armys kettle collections are down 80 percent this year.

Major Lynnann Rivers, a guest recently on WHAVs morning program, says there is hope, however with some stores allowing kettles to be placed and others hosting countertop kettles.

Im able to have kettles at the three Market Baskets in Haverhill and then at Market Basket, Shaws and Walmart in Plaistow. However, youll probably not find somebody out because I just have not had enough volunteers to put out there, she says.

Due to the late start, caused by the uncertainty of the pandemic, the Salvation Army is relying solely on volunteer bell ringers this year, which have not been as plentiful as in previous years.

But we are down about 80% in Haverhill. I think the average for the state Salvation Army as a whole is 50%, but here in Haverhill we are down 80% in our Christmas income, mostly because of not having the daily kettles, people out at the kettles daily. But, its easy to go online to give.salvationarmy.org and find the town you want to give to, and donate via credit card online and its easy to write a check to the Salvation Army and send it to 395 Main St., Haverhill, Massachusetts, she adds.

Rivers says they have also been helped by businesses hosting countertop kettles. Businesses include all three EZ Way Cleaners locations and Benedettis Deli on Washington Street.

In addition to the kettle drive, Rivers says they are also packing up toy bags, for families, for next weeks distribution.

We are struggling with boy and girl gifts for ages 6 to 10 years old . Were having trouble filling the bags for those age groups. You could drop off gifts here at the Salvation Army, the office is open Monday through Friday from 9 to 1, and you could go to Walmart.com and order something off our Registry For Good and it will be sent directly here, she suggests.

For those interested in volunteering to stand at a Salvation Army kettle, Rivers says they are asked to take at least a two-hour shift and are required to wear a mask. Hand sanitizer pumps are attached to the kettle stand and sanitizer wipes are provided for wiping off the kettle. Volunteers are asked to take a step back when someone approaches, but still say thank you and Merry Christmas.

ATLANTA Gov. Brian Kemp has announced that VT Industries, a leading manufacturer of countertops and commercial doors, will invest $24 million in expanding its manufacturing operations in Rome. The expansion will increase VT Industries onsite employment by one-third, creating 42 new jobs in Floyd County.

The decision by VT Industries to expand in Georgia is a testament to the pro-business environment, unmatched work force, and robust logistics infrastructure that have made us the No. 1 State for Business for eight consecutive years, Kemp said in a news release. I want to thank VT Industries for their commitment to innovation and creating opportunities for hard-working Georgians in Floyd County.

Headquartered in Holstein, Iowa, VT Industries is North Americas leading provider of architectural wood doors, post-formed laminate countertops, butcher block countertops, and additional surfacing products. VT Industries Rome operation began in 1990, and the companys focus has been on laminate countertops since 1956. The company previously expanded its Rome presence in 2015 through the acquisition of Capitoline Products Inc., and currently employs 126 Georgians. Once the expansion is complete, the company will employ more than 167 people in northwest Georgia.

One of our core values at VT Industries is a commitment to innovation to support our customers in the surfaces industry, Director of Operations for VT Industries Ryan Miller said. We strive to provide opportunities to our team members and are excited to create an additional 40-plus jobs in northwest Georgia.

VT Industries will add 39,000 square feet to its current facility located at 1351 Redmond Circle in Rome. Due to the high demand for products, the expansion is expected to move quickly, and operations are anticipated to be completed by early 2022. New positions at the facility will include management, technician and operator roles. Individuals interested in opportunities with VT Industries are encouraged to visit vtindustries.com/company/careers for additional information.

This is an exciting announcement for VTI, and we are proud that they continue to grow in Rome and Floyd County, Jimmy Byars, chairman of the Rome-Floyd County Development Authority, said.

Since 1990, VT Industries has been an important member of our northwest Georgia community, and we appreciate their decision to further invest in the state. I thank our partners in Rome and Floyd County for continuing to strengthen this relationship and supporting the state in creating a business-friendly environment that entices companies to grow here.

When it comes to designing a beautiful kitchen, cabinet color can make all the difference. These days, more and more homeowners have shown an affinity for white cabinets which provide a clean look that compliments diverse design concepts.

According to Zach Morrow of Rock Solid Custom Granite, a leading custom cabinet and countertop company in Denver, theres good reason this color has become such a trendy choice.

Fresh, timeless and adaptable, white cabinets are an enduring favorite in traditional and contemporary kitchen designs, said Morrow. They pair well with a wide variety of granite countertop patterns, allowing homeowners to choose from a diverse selection of colors to help bring their visions to life. That said, there are certain colors that provide better results.

For homeowners looking for ideal color contrasts between their counters and white cabinets, Morrow recommends the following granite counter colors:

Named for its ice-like formations, this stunning stone includes a scattering of translucent quartz and streaks of ebony feldspar amid bright white minerals. The granite has a nice deep pattern that provides some visual complexity to ordinary white-on-white bathrooms and kitchens.

Since white granite isnt completely white, you can have an all-white kitchen that doesnt necessarily look too stark. Originating in India, Colonial White is a gorgeous granite that blends cloudy silver with a pale gray along with a jet-black speckled accent that gives the surface depth. Placed atop white cabinets, the granite throws off muted hues that look great against warm cream walls and backsplashes, providing a nice amount of detail to monochromatic rooms.

Another granite originating in India, this deep black stone includes accents of gray in a sleek and subtle composite pattern. If youre designing a modern black and white kitchen, Black Pearl is a great alternative to Premium Black or Absolute Black Granite counters. If Black Pearl doesnt quite hit the mark, consider Cambrian Black Granite and Virginia Mist Granite which also have understated patterns that wont overwhelm the eye.

Bold granite countertops go especially well with white cabinets, making a powerful statement without creating a busy or overpowering design. For eye-catching patterns, Golden Lightning Granite is a great choice. This Italian granite contains gold, green and brown veining that combines to add a bit of moody drama to what might normally be a blah design. It looks great over a large kitchen island, especially when paired with a dramatic backsplash and some nice illuminating lighting.

Paired with white cabinets, this semi-iridescent, steely blue granite provides a fresh, soothing contrast and subdued, yet airy feel. Blue Pearl works well in traditional and contemporary kitchens. You may need to play with your backsplash and accessories to get the right look, however.

Colonial White Granite is a very popular choice for white-on-white kitchen designs. Fragments of dark gray and black minerals form a subtle constellation that stretches across the cool, gray background. You can tether the combination of white cabinets and white granite together with some nice white marble subway tiles for a clean-looking contemporary look.

When designing with white cabinets, its good to remember that any color of granite will appear different adjacent to varying hues of white. At the same time, it will also be affected by surrounding fixtures and hardware. Antico Cream, for instance, features a warm off-white background with gold and brown flecks that shimmer dramatically against white cabinets, bronze pulls and medium-tone natural wood floors.

With its bold pattern and simplicity of color, Silver Waves Granite is another beautiful variation on the black-and-white design theme. This striking granite is a lovely marble-esque swirl of black and white with a distinctive look that will make it the most unique feature in most homes.

Maintaining the rugged charm of the storied industrial age, Steel Grey Granite showcases a medium-composite pattern with a modest range of grays throughout. This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners who want a modern, industrial-chic feel. A leathered or antique-finish can serve to further increase this look against plain white cabinetry.

A trendy granite from Brazil, Nevasca Mist flawlessly swirls together gray, beige and greige in a beautifully neutral palette with an easy, soothing pattern. It works especially well with cloudy white kitchen cabinets, surrounded by stainless appliances, nickel-plated pulls and contrasting lighting hardware.

Prioritizing our customers needs above all else, Rock Solid Custom Granite has earned a well-deserved reputation for being the most reliable custom cabinet and granite counters company in the Denver area. Our skilled designers and expert installers can help enhance your kitchen with custom cabinets, granite countertops and more.

Whether you want to keep up with contemporary trends or enhance an existing kitchen concept with fresh, eye-catching features, were here to help.
