A Milestone Four Decades in the Making 

On December 22, 2017, the doors of Columbia’s first medical cannabis dispensary 

opened to a long line of Howard County residents eager to make their first legal 

cannabis purchase. Some had waited more than four years since Governor O’Malley 

signed legislation approving the state’s medical cannabis program in 2013. For the 

owners of Remedy Medical Dispensary, the journey to becoming Howard County’s 

premier dispensary began more than 44 years ago, right here in Columbia. 

It started in the mid 1970’s when Robert M. Duggan (Bob) co-founded the first 

recognized school of acupuncture in Maryland at a time when the practice was legal 

in only two states. Over 40 years, the school grew into an accredited multi-disciplinary 

university of health and wellness where students learned to approach healthcare by 

empowering the individual. 

It was in this holistic culture that Bob’s son and his childhood friends came of age. 

After graduating Wilde Lake High School, each went in different directions to pursue 

different careers. By 2013, they all had chosen to return to their roots in Maryland, 

where they saw a clear need for access to safe, natural medicine and an opportunity 

to provide it by applying for a dispensary license. When it was granted, they chose the 

name “Remedy” as a tribute to the healer who inspired them. Bob’s legacy lives on 

through the name Remedy (RMD-- his initials), as does his steadfast commitment to 

providing safe, natural methods of healing and compassionate care to the community. 

This is a core principle to Remedy’s philosophy. 

In its first year, Remedy has provided over 10,000 Marylanders with a professional and 

compassionate environment to learn about medical cannabis. Each day, Remedy staff 

help people learn how to become medical cannabis patients, provide private, 

one-one-one education sessions for those in need of information, and make 

personalized product recommendations to provide relief with cannabis. Along with 

multiple professional certifications, part of the training for Remedy’s patient advisors is 

the understanding that, in the words of Bob Duggan, “Wellness is a conversation.”

Bay 

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary 

in the United States. Spanning 200 

miles, the Bay is surrounded by Maryland 

and Virginia. The Chesapeake 

Bay was formed over 10,000 years ago 

when melting glacial ice caused sea 

levels to rise in the Atlantic Ocean. The 

bay was known as Chesepiooc meaning 

“Great Shellfish Bay” by the Algonquin 

Indians. The bay is mostly known for 

its great seafood production, especially 

blue crabs, clams and oysters.

Health & Wellness: 

SuperFoods 

Health and wellness are profoundly impacted by the food we choose to eat. One of the most spectacular scientific advancements of modern medicine 

has been the recognition that the majority of chronic diseases are directly linked to diet – both in terms of cause and prevention. Diet-related chronic 

diseases include all forms of cardiovascular disease (heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol), metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, 

osteoporosis, obesity, many forms of cancer (1/3 of all cancers are directly relate to diet). This is a 2-pronged issue – meaning some foods promote 

disease (trans fats, saturated fats, refined carbs, excess sugar, excess sodium, etc.), while some foods provide powerful disease protection (fruit, veggies, 

whole grains, beans, nuts, olive oil, oily fish, etc.). 

Health and wellness promoting diets should include the following superfoods: 

Blueberries - Considered one of the healthiest 

fruit you can eat. Believe it or not, the diminutive 

blueberry is power packed full of life-preserving 

agents. They contain more than a dozen 

vitamins and minerals, but are most special because 

of the spectacular array of disease-busting 

phytochemicals they provide. They are the 

reigning world champion antioxidant food, 

beating out 49 other fruits and vegetables and 

have potent anti-inflammatory power too. 

Servings – Strive for a serving of berries daily! 

Frozen are just as nutritious as fresh. ½ cup is a 

standard serving. 

Wild Alaskan Salmon - This superstar protein 

is one of the best dietary sources of omega 

3 fats. This very special class of polyunsaturated 

fat is an essential nutrient critical for maintaining 

a healthy cardiovascular system, controlling excess 

inflammation and having a healthy brain. 

The lack of omega 3 fats in the standard American 

diet is one of the most serious but unrecognized 

nutritional problems this country faces. 

Salmon is also loaded with vitamin D – the new 

superstar vitamin that plays a key role in broad 

spectrum disease protection. Unlike its farm 

raised counterpart, wild Alaskan salmon is very 

low in environmental contaminants. 

Servings – Have 2-3 servings a week for best results. 

Almonds - Almonds are a fantastic source 

of a vegetable protein, fiber, and heart-healthy 

fats. In addition, they contain a special form of 

vitamin E, called gamma tocopherol, thought 

to play an important role in preventing cancer 

and heart disease. Compelling medical studies 

have revealed that having an ounce (a small 

handful) of nuts, 5 or more days a week can reduce 

your cardiovascular risk by 30-50%! 

Servings – A small handful of almonds (about 1 

oz.) 5 or more days a week. 

Kale - This superstar dark leafy green is without 

a doubt one of the healthiest foods you can 

eat, providing more nutrition per unit calorie 

than almost any other food. Kale tops the list 

of the most potent antioxidant vegetables and 

provides 17 essential nutrients including 100% of 

the adult RDA for vitamin A and vitamin C in a 

single serving. It is an especially rich source of 

the phytochemicals lutein and zeaxanthin now 

famous for promoting eye and vision health. 

Servings – The more the better! Strive for a serving 

of dark leafy greens daily. A serving is 1 cup 

in the raw form. 

Red Onions - Although they quite literally 

bring us to tears, the organosulfur phytochemicals 

unique to onions and the other members 

of the allyl food group (garlic, leeks, chives, 

and scallions) are truly medicinal in their power 

to protect our health. These compounds provide 

potent anticancer properties along with 

valuable blood-thinning effects useful for maintaining 

healthy heart and arteries. Red onions 

also provide one of the richest food sources of 

quercitin, with well know antioxidant and anti-inflammatory 

power. The health benefits of red 

onions are optimized when eaten raw or lightly 

steamed. 

Servings – As regularly as possible – optimal to 

include daily. There is plenty of goodness in a 

couple of slices. 

Green Tea - Considered the beverage of 

choice in many cultures around the world, this 

superstar provides one of the easiest and quickest 

ways to infuse our bodies and brains with 

antioxidants. Antioxidants are special chemicals 

that protect our bodies from cancer, heart disease, 

cataracts, arthritis, skin wrinkling, and even 

the aging process itself. Brewed tea has more 

antioxidant power than any other fruit or vegetable. 

When I need a mental and physical lift, I 

enjoy a cup of freshly brewed green tea. 

Servings – 2-3 cups daily. 

Oranges - This refreshing fruit is a great source 

of vitamin C, folate, and fiber – a terrific trio for 

heart health. In addition, this special food contains 

every known class of natural anticancer 

compounds making them nature’s perfect “anticancer 

package”. 

Servings – Consume a piece of citrus daily. Any 

citrus will do, but oranges are the superstars. 

Whole Oats - This whole grain is a rich source 

of several important minerals, B vitamins, and 

vitamin E. Oats are naturally low in calories, provide 

healthy vegetable protein, and are one 

of the best dietary sources of soluble fiber. The 

special type of soluble fiber found in oats, called 

beta glucan, is a very effective cholesterol lowering 

agent and has been shown to help stabilize 

blood glucose and insulin levels in type 2 

diabetics. Old fashioned and steel cut oats are 

the healthiest form. 

Servings – ½ cup (cooked) or more daily. 

Broccoli - Like other non-starchy vegetables, 

broccoli is filled with health promoting vitamins, 

minerals, and fiber. It is naturally low in calories 

and contains over 150 health promoting phytochemicals, 

including sulfurophane, now famous 

for its potent cancer protective powers. 

Servings – Consume at least 1 cruciferous veggie 

daily. Broccoli is certainly one of the healthiest 

of the bunch. 1/2 cup is a serving. 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - This highly flavored oil 

protects the heart and arteries through four separate 

mechanisms. It contains a potent class of 

antioxidant phytochemicals called polyphenols 

that can actually dilate arteries. It is not surprising 

that cultures that consume lots of olive oil have 

lower rates of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and 

heart disease. 

Servings – Daily. This should be the oil of choice 

for all. For optimal results, use in cold foods, 

room temperatyre foods or low-heat dishes. 

2-4 TBS daily.

Historical Landmarks You Must Visit in Delaware 

Delaware was the foundation for much of our nation, and even though the state is small, historic sites are significant in the landscape. 

Records of the three counties of Delaware, which still remain today, date back to 1683, leaving over 300 years of legacy in historical landmarks 

and monuments. 

The Kalmar Nyckel 

Kalmar Nyckel (Key of Kalmar) was a Dutch-built armed merchant ship famed for carrying 

Swedish settlers to North America in 1638, to establish the colony of New Sweden. A replica 

of the ship was launched at Wilmington, Delaware, in 1997. 

Kalmar Nyckel was constructed in about 1625, and was of a design called a pinnace. The 

ship was originally named Sleutel (Dutch for key), and to distinguish it from several other 

ships called Key it was known by the name of the city of Kalmar, which purchased the ship 

in 1629, as its contribution to a state-sponsored trading company, Skeppskompaniet. It was 

later purchased into the Swedish Navy. When Sweden decided to establish a trading colony 

in the New World under the direction of Peter Minuit, Kalmar Nyckel was chosen for the voyage. 

A smaller vessel, Fogel Grip (Griffin Bird), accompanied her. 

The ships sailed from Gothenburg in December 1637, commanded by Jan Hindriksen van 

der Water, but encountered a severe storm in the North Sea and had to divert to the Netherlands 

for repairs. They departed on New Year’s Day 1638, arriving in North America in March 

1638. They built a fort on the present site of the city of Wilmington, which they named Fort 

Christina. 

A second voyage, which departed on February 7, 1640, and arrived at Fort Christina on April 17, brought additional settlers for New Sweden. 

One of them was Reorus Torkillus, the first Lutheran clergyman in New Sweden. The Kalmar Nyckel made four successful round trips from 

Sweden to North America, a record unchallenged by any other colonial vessel. 

Between colonial voyages, the ship was used by the navy as a transport and courier. She was sold out of Swedish service to Dutch merchants 

in 1651. At the outbreak of the First Anglo-Dutch War, she was employed as a fisheries protection vessel under Captain Dirk Vijgh. 

The ship was sunk off the coast of Scotland in action against Blake’s squadron on July 12, 1652. 



Old Swedes Church, Wilmington 

Holy Trinity Church, also known as Old Swedes, is a historic church at East 7th and Church 

Street in Wilmington, Delaware. It was consecrated on Trinity Sunday, June 4, 1699, by a 

predominantly Swedish congregation formerly of the colony of New Sweden. The church, designated 

a National Historic Landmark in 1961, is among the few surviving public buildings 

that reflect the Swedish colonial effort. The church is considered part of First State National 

Historical Park. 

History 

The church was built in 1698–99 in territory that was once the colony of New Sweden, from 

local blue granite and Swedish bricks that had been used as ship’s ballast. The church is 

situated on the site of the Fort Christina’s burial ground, which dates to 1638. The church 

claims to be “the nation’s oldest church building still used for worship as originally built”. 

There are reportedly over 15,000 burials in the churchyard. Lutheran Church services were 

held in the Swedish language well into the 18th century. 

In 1697 the Church of Sweden renewed its commitment to Swedish settlers in the Delaware Valley and sent three missionaries, Jonas 

Auren, Eric Bjork, and Andreas Rudman, to the area. A total of three churches with similar architecture were built or established by Swedish 

communities in the area about the same time. All are generally known as “Old Swedes”, and later joined the Episcopal Church. Holy Trinity 

in Wilmington was built in 1699. Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church in Philadelphia, about 30 miles away, was founded in 1677 and the 

building was completed in 1700. Trinity Church in Swedesboro, New Jersey, about 20 miles away by modern roads, was founded in 1703, 

with its current building completed in 1784. 

Five other Swedish churches were founded about this time: St. Mary Anne’s Episcopal Church in the town of North East, Maryland, Old 

St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church in Douglassville, Pennsylvania, St. George’s Episcopal in Pennsville, New Jersey, St. James Kingsessing in 

Philadelphia, and Christ Church (Old Swedes) in Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania. 

Holy Trinity in Wilmington has housed an Episcopal parish since 1791 and is now part of the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware. An earlier 

church in New Sweden was built in Swanwyck, near New Castle about 1662 which was replaced by a combined church and fort at Crane 

Hook in 1667. 

In 1958 the historic Hendrickson House was moved to the grounds of the church. The church building was declared a National Historic 

Landmark in 1961. Trinity Parish operates two church buildings in Wilmington, both listed on the NRHP: the main building on North Adams, 

and Old Swedes at East 7th and Church Streets. 

Hagley Museum and Library, Wilmington 

The Hagley Museum and Library is a nonprofit educational institution in Wilmington, Delaware. 

Covering more than 235 acres (0.95 km²) along the banks of the Brandywine Creek, the museum 

and grounds include the first du Pont family home and garden in the United States, the powder 

yards, and a 19th-century machine shop. On the hillside below the mansion lies a Renaissance-revival 

garden, with terraces and statuary, created in the 1920s by Louise Evalina du Pont Crowninshield 

(1877–1958). The facility sits at the midpoint of the DuPont Historic Corridor. 

History 

n 1802, French immigrant Eleuthère Irénée du Pont founded black powder mills on the banks of Brandywine Creek. He chose the location 

for the river’s tumble over the Fall Line which provided power, timber and willow trees (used to produce quality charcoal required for superior 

black powder), the proximity to the Delaware River (on which other ingredients of the powder – sulfur and saltpeter – could be shipped); and 

the quarries of gneiss which would provide building materials for the mills. The E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company’s black powder factory 

became the largest in the world. 

In 1921, the mills along the Brandywine closed and parcels of the property were sold. Plans for a museum were established 31 years later, 

on the occasion of the DuPont Company’s 150th anniversary in 1952. 

Origin of the name 

Hagley historians only know that the name was already in use well before E.I. du Pont expanded downstream from Eleutherian Mills in 1813 

by purchasing the land that became the Hagley Yards. An 1813 document refers to the land as Hagley and it had been called Hagley as early 

as 1797, when its owner, Philadelphia Quaker merchant Rumford Dawes, applied for insurance on buildings that were said to be located in a 

place called Hagley on the Brandywine. Dawes had acquired the property in 1783. Since the name Hagley did not appear on the documents 

transferring ownership at that time, it seems likely that Dawes gave this name to the Brandywine location. 

It seems likely that Delaware’s Hagley was named for an English estate that was well known in the second half of the eighteenth century. It 

is likely that Dawes chose the name based on an English narrative poem entitled The Seasons by James Thomson. Hagley Hall was the seat 

of Thomson’s patron the Baron Lyttelton, and the poem’s description of a sylvan dale is strikingly reminiscent of the Brandywine Valley. The 

Seasons was popular in Philadelphia at the time that Rumford Dawes acquired and named Hagley. The English Hagley estate is located in 

the West Midlands countryside about ten miles southwest of Birmingham. Perhaps coincidently, Delaware’s Hagley is about 8 miles south 

of Chadds Ford Township, officially known as Birmingham Township before 1996. 

At about the same time, Hagley Plantation on the Waccamaw River in South Carolina got its name when the owners, who were admirers of 

English culture, chose the name Hagley to remind them of the well-known parkland of that name near London. 

The Museum was featured on Mysteries at the Museum television show. 


Nemours Mansion and Gardens, Wilmington 

The Nemours Mansion and Gardens is a 300-acre (120 ha) country estate with jardin 

à la française formal gardens and a classical French mansion in Wilmington, Delaware. 

Built to resemble a French château, its 105 rooms on five floors occupy nearly 47,000 

sq ft (4,400 m2). It shares the grounds with the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, 

both owned by the Nemours Foundation at 1600 Rockland Road. The estate is part of 

the Du Pont family legacy and is located on the DuPont Historic Corridor. Nemours was 

created by Alfred I. du Pont in 1909–10 as a gift for his second wife, Alicia, and named 

for the north central French town affiliated with his great-great-grandfather, Pierre 

Origin 

Samuel du Pont de Nemours. Carrère and Hastings designed it, and the architecture is of the 

Louis XVI-Rococo style of French architecture. 

Artworks and furnishings at the mansion 

The mansion contains rare French 18th-century furniture and an eclectic collection of notable 

antiques, works of art, and tapestries. Artworks range from 16th-century religious works to 

paintings by the European masters to early works by Americans Frederic Remington and Sidney 

Lawrence. Of particular interest is a rare Louis XVI musical clock, circa 1785, by David 

Roentgen and Peter Kinzing, which plays four tunes on a dulcimer and pipe organ. Another 

clock at the mansion with a connection to French royalty is one made for Marie Antoinette, 

which she never received. The mansion also has a chair from the 1937 coronation of King 

George VI, an event which was attended by Alfred I. du Pont’s third wife Jessie, and a chair 

from Independence Hall. Alfred I. du Pont’s own portrait is also in the mansion. 

Landscape gardens 

The estate has the most developed and largest jardin à la française (French formal garden)-style 

landscape park and collection of individual gardens in North America. The design 

is patterned after the gardens of Versailles surrounding the Petit Trianon at the Château de 

Versailles. Their central axis extends ⅓ of a mile from the mansion facade, paralleling the main 

avenue leading to the house. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with plantings, fountains, 

pools, a carillon tower, statuary, and a pavilion surrounded by naturalized woodlands.

Reasons to Juice: 

• Juicing allows your digestive system to rest, so 

that energy may go into elimination, recovery 

and healing, instead of digestion. During this 

time, cells can repair themselves and detoxify. 

Freshly pressed juices provide enzymes as 

well as vitamins and minerals that are easily 

assimilated. 

• Juicing will help to break down the vegetables, 

making it easier to assimilate, so you will 

receive most of the nutrition. 

• Juicing allows you to consume more vegetables 

than you normally would. Some people 

may find eating vegetables difficult, but it can 

be easily accomplished with a quick glass of 

vegetable juice. 

• You can add a wider variety of vegetables in 

your diet. Many people eat the same vegetables, 

raw or cooked, every day. Foods should 

be rotated to prevent developing allergies. 

With juicing, you can juice a wide variety of 

vegetables that you may not normally enjoy 

eating whole. 

Basic Green Juice
