Archaeological Homesite Discovery Linked To Maryland Abolitionist Harriet Tubman CHURCH CREEK, Md. (WJZ) — A historic homesite discovered in Maryland has been linked to abolitionist and famed Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman. Maryland Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford made the announcement Tuesday, joining state and federal partners at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center. READ MORE: Maryland Weather: Freeze Warnings Issued Overnight In Parts Of State A historic homesite discovered in Maryland has been linked to abolitionist and famed Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman. Credit: MDOT The archaeological homesite was the former home of Tubman’s father, Ben Ross. It was discovered on a property acquired by U.S. Fish and Wildlife in 2020 as an addition to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Dorchester County. “This discovery adds another puzzle piece to the story of Harriet Tubman, the state of Maryland, and our nation,” said Rutherford. “It is important that we continue to uncover parts of our history that we can learn from, especially when they can be lost to time, and other forces. I hope that this latest success story can inspire similar efforts and help strengthen our partnerships in the future.” USFWS purchased the 2,600-acre Peter’s Neck property for $6 million with Land and Water Conservation Funds and revenue from the Federal Duck Stamps program. It was purchased to help with the impact of sea-level rise and provide future marsh migration. Ten acres was bequeathed to Ross by Anthony Thompson in the 1800s. Then in Thompson’s will, Be Ross was to be freed five years after Thompson’s death in 1836. He was freed from slavery and received the land in the early 1840s. “When we protect vulnerable habitats, we help preserve the stories of those who came before us, like Harriet Tubman’s father, Ben Ross,” said USFWS Chief of the National Wildlife Refuge System Cynthia Martinez. “Acquiring Peter’s Neck last year was a critical addition to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, as the area is predicted to naturally convert to marsh by 2100 because of sea-level rise. We look forward to working with our partners to create more opportunities to connect people to nature and strengthen the bond between the land and community.” A historic homesite discovered in Maryland has been linked to abolitionist and famed Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman. Credit: MDOT A team, led by MDOT SHA Chief Archaeologist Dr. Julie Schablitsky, searched for evidence linked to Ross in November. Wehn they returned in March, they found numerous artifacts dating back to the 1800s — including nails, brick, glass, dish fragments and even a button. READ MORE: Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison Says Derek Chauvin Failed To ‘Protect And Serve’ As Maryland Leaders React To Verdict “The importance of discovering Ben Ross’ cabin here is the connection to Harriet Tubman. She would’ve spent time here as a child, but also she would’ve come back and been living here with her father in her teenage years, working alongside him,” said Dr. Schablitsky. “This was the opportunity she had to learn about how to navigate and survive in the wetlands and the woods. We believe this experience was able to benefit her when she began to move people to freedom.” Ross’ great-great-great-grandson Douglas Mitchell called the discovery “inestimable.” “Dr. Schablitsky’s findings hold the promise of both deepening and broadening our understanding of the remarkable life not only of the patriarch and his beloved wife, but also, of course, that of his legendary daughter and heroine, Harriet Tubman,” Mitchell added. “On this joyous occasion, more than 160 years after Ben Ross departed his humble cabin never to return, all freedom-and-justice-loving Americans are Ross kin, celebrating this immensely important archaeological discovery and the priceless revelations it is destined to offer.” CAMBRIDGE, MD – JUNE 27: The mural, Take My Hand, painted by artist Michael Rosato, graces the The Harriet Tubman Museum & Educational Center in downtown and is a must see on the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, which runs for 125 miles and 45 stops through Maryland’s Eastern Shore and Delaware. (Photo by Jonathan Newton /The Washington Post via Getty Images) Tubman was born Araminta Ross in March 1822 on the Thompson Farm near Cambridge. She and her mother were enslaved by the Brodess family and moved away from the farm when she was a toddler. Ross felled and sold timber, which was taken by free Black mariners to Baltimore’s shipyards to be used to build ships. “Discovering the location of patriarch Ben Ross Sr.’s home and artifacts he used has humanized a man responsible for giving us a woman of epic proportions, Harriet Ross Tubman,” said Tina Wyatt, Harriet Tubman’s great-great-great-grandniece and Ben Ross’ great-great-great-great-granddaughter. “This brings enlightenment, revealing how he lived his daily life making it a real-life connection to and for me, a great-great-great-great-granddaughter. The world benefits also from the study of these artifacts concerning objects used by the enslaved; are they common to this plantation, to his position, or to this region? It gives us so much more to explore, explain and exhibit.” Ross’ home will now be added to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway. Get alerts from WJZ first!

HIBISCUS SOUR ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As May turns to June I have found myself daydreaming about some of my favourite summertime travels. When @cocktail_chris posted his purple pisco punch just over a week ago, I knew I had to make something fairly similar with Pisco I had been infusing with hibiscus. From Chris I have taken inspiration in terms of the base and build of the drink as well as allowing travel experiences influence the final mix.🌎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pisco is one of my absolute favourite spirits and the floral bouquet of an Italia Pisco always transports me back to the old square in Cusco, Peru, where I tried this variatel for the first time. 🇵🇪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Through dumb luck I was already infusing pisco Italia with hibiscus to accentuate those fantastic floral notes. Hibiscus always reminds me of a wonderful ice tea I had from a street market in Phuket, Thailand.🇹🇭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Next I wanted to bring these refeshing floral flavours together with another ingredient that I had first tasted on my travels. The perfect choice came from an aperitivo that I first encounted only a few weeks after my trip to Thailand- and ordered because of that Thai iced tea sitting firmly in recent memory. While traveling through Slovenia and N.E Italy I first tried Ramazotti Rosato and it absolutely blew my mind. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered one over ice with an orange twist before every single meal for the remainder of the trip.🇸🇮🇮🇹 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finally to tie all the ingredients together I mixed with a little egg white and then lemon juice and orange blossom water in a nod to my most recent trip to Sicily. When mixing all these flavours and experiences up together I had a wonderfully high spirited afternoon on my balcony pondering the wonders of travel and the benefits realised from different cultures coming together in perfect harmony.🤝 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌍40 ml hibiscus infused Italia Pisco 🌎30 ml Ramazzotti Rosato 🌏15 ml lemon juice 🌍12.5 ml egg white 🌎2 dashes of sicilian orange blossom water over finished drink ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cheers 🥂! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-PJ8klJTL/?igshid=2fuuj18s2ywy

Radicipura Gardens in Giarre, Sicilia north of Catania. The Godfather II was filmed here.

My experience in Sicilia was extensive in a very short trip.

Did I see each region and each producer?

No.

But I got to this mythical yet very real land and saw a lot in a short period. When I look at the wondrous wines–a generation ago when I first started tasting Sicilian wines I had conjured up what Sicily is and was… And on top of being obsessed with great food and wine I was also in love with history–Sicily history is vast, simple and yet outstandingly complex. Complexity is the interweaving of beauty.

I also looked at Sicily as a centre of foods of the sea and citrus. Sicilian citrus looms large in my mind. Citrus for me is a sacred point for me–the smell, the vitality, the beauty and the delicateness.

Sicily indigenous varieties are special and sacred for me. They represent a series of exchanges, trades, and even the unintended. In fact, all of non-human crossed varieties are a product of unintended consequences. But where the accident ends is when a society, a culture, a nation decides what their variety set is… this is what happened in Sicilia–the Nero d’Avola, Carricante, Grillo, Cattarrato, Inzolia, Grecanico, Frapatto, Perricone, Nerello Cappuccio, Nerello Mascalese and sometimes the indigenous are blended with international varieties for another unique take on Sicilian wines.

My first visit on this particular sojourn was to producers in western Sicilia.

I first visited Baglio di Pianetto which is south of Palermo and east of the Lago di Piano degli Albanese.

I tasted through quite a number of wines while there and appreciated tasting several vintages of the same wine and I always love tasting natural wines (Inzolia and Petit Verdot):

Baglio di Pianetto Ficiligno 2015 91 Points (70% Viognier, 30% Inzolia)

Baglio di Pianetto Ficiligno 2011 91 Points (50% Viognier, 50% Inzolia)

Baglio di Pianetto Ficiligno 2003 90 Points (50% Viognier, 50% Inzolia)

Baglio di Pianetto Raimone 2013 93 Points (50% Nero d’Avola, 50% Merlot)

Baglio di Pianetto Raimone 2015 92 Points (50% Nero d’Avola, 50% Merlot)

Baglio di Pianetto Natyr Petit Verdot 92 Points – a natural wine– I have never tasted a natural Petit Verdot wine.

Baglio di Pianetto Natyr Inzolia 93 Points

Baglio di Pianetto Carduni Petit Verdot 2006 93 Points

Baglio di Pianetto Carduni Petit Verdot 2010 92 Points

Baglio di Pianetto Cembali Nero d’Avola 2007 93 Points

Baglio di Pianetto Cembali Nero d’Avola 2009 92 Points

Baglio di Pianetto Cembali Nero d’Avola 2010 92 Points

Baglio di Pianetto Shymer Syrah-Merlot 2013 92 Points

Dinner at the Agrirelais paired with Baglio di Pianetto wines.

Alessandro di Camporeale is 45 km / 27 m southwest of Palermo and east of the town of Camporeale

Dei Principali di Spadaforda

Spadaforda is located in Contrada Virzì which is a site with considerable elevation changes and a beautiful depth of terrain. A perfectly sunny day for the visit and very appreciable temperature on a breezy day in western Sicily.

Francesco Spadafora is the owner of Dei Principali di Spadaforda and also an amazing chef–he made an stellar lunch for me and my fellow journalists and plated all of the food so beautifully.

Dei Principali di Spadaforda Enrica Spadaforda Terre Siciliane Brut Nature NV – 100% Grillo; 0 Dosage and a very forward label design with braille 93 Points

Feudo Disisa Terre Siciliane Grillo 2015 93 Points

Feudo Disisa Vuaria Terre Siciliane Nero d’Avola 2013 92 Points

***

The final cantine on this trek was visiting Rallo

The Cantine is situated on upslope and almost only vineyards with few obstructions. I was glad to put foot on ground and feel the soil of this site–I remember the distinct breeze and the whistling pine tree which are just a few. I was transported to my familiar view of pine forests and yet reminded I was in Sicilia.

Making Cannoli

The beauty of the site is outstanding–almost felt like dream like state

Drawing from my journal of the Rallo site

Only in Italia do you get this delightful substance known as Spremuta Arancia Rossa (blood orange juice)

Rallo Sicilia Beleda Catarratto 2015 – 93 Points

Rallo Sicilia Beleda Catarratto 2013 – 93 Points

Rallo Sicilia Beleda Catarratto 2012 – 93 Points

Rallo Sicilia Beleda Catarratto 2011 – 92 Points

Rallo Sicilia La Cuba Grillo 2014 – 93 Points

***

This quick tour of a few of western Sicilia’s cantine was just a toe tip of the many more I have to visit but provided an outstanding view of more wines and sites to experience in person. We then made our way to our hotel in Santa Tecla which is north of Catania and south of Radicipura (site of Sicilia en Primeur event).

First I visit Catania – I had an opportunity to several years ago. I couldn’t make that portion of the trip and had to miss it and yet made to Catania. I was on a guided tour and saw Sant’Agata Duomo, Teatro Romano, the farmers and fish market–the fish market was boisterous and I loved it. I was enchanted by the farmers market–a lovely ensemble of fresh produce and I especially like the roasted vegetables.

Piazza Duomo

Roasted Cipollini, peppers and other vegetables; I would love to see this everywhere

View of the Duomo Sant’Agata

Visiting the Teatro Romano in Catania

I love seeing the whimsical – this is the Teatro Nievski in Catania

Radiciepura is a meeting centre and garden north of Catania. The gardens have guest gardener exhibits and it is enchanting. Look west and you will see the smoke billowing off of Mt. Etna. This was also the site of the second Godfather movie which of course has it’s beginning story take place in western Sicilia in Corleone. You can look at the patio set and realize this was in the film.

The Godfather II was filmed here.

Mt. Etna in the background–you can see smoke from the volcano.

Italy as a garden

The gardens are pristine and imaginative and on seeing water nearby you know this was a popular route of many people passing around Sicilia. The setting was tranquil and perfect for the Sicilia in Primeur. While I couldn’t go on all tours–I could regroup and taste wines from other producers.

These are the wine I tasted at Radiciepura.

And the finale was a very special evening at the Palazzo Biscari a 17th century Palazzo. A jazz band greeting participants. This special experience was truly memorable and helped me to always remember Sicilia en Primeur.

My experience with Sicilian wines grew considerably on this tour. Foot-on-ground tours is essential to get a feel for the culture, food, wine and history.

Will I be back to the this amazing land?

Certamente!

Common Senior Living Mistakes In Eugene Oregon

If you are looking for the best city for retirement, you are at the right place. Modern countries like The United States offer a lot of opportunities for seniors. You can choose whether you will live in a city or a village. If you choose the city, you are going to have a lot of possibilities. But, does every city offers the same opportunities for seniors? We are afraid that it doesn't. Every city has a different economy, so the prices of the products and services are different. The Good Call has published an article in which they collected the best cities for seniors to retire.

"Chesterfield, Mo., came in at the top of the list. The suburb sits west of St. Louis and just south of the Missouri River. The suburban feel has been attracting retirees lately: While the overall population barely changed from 2010-15, the number of residents age 65 and older jumped 15%. Chesterfield stands out in several categories, including its abundance of health care establishments (5 per 1,000 residents), high education rate (69% of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher), low crime rate (17.7 per 1,000 residents), and home ownership (more than 77% of residents own their homes)." The Good Call

Learn more about senior living Eugene Oregon . We hope that we helped you with this list. In the next article, we have one more research with different methodologies from the last article. This research took into consideration several factors like the living costs, the number of doctors, opportunities for employment and volunteerism etc. Anne-Marie Botek from The Aging Care has published this research in her article.
