Treating the cause or symptoms
People normally treat the symptom, not the cause. Take a runny nose, for example. If you have a runny nose, that is a symptom of an irritant to your nasal cavity. While it is important to take something to stop your runny nose, if you also don’t treat the cause, you will continue to have a runny nose. Symptoms are an indication that something significant is not right. Pain is a useful tool indicating there is injury. It is sending a signal that something is wrong. Yet, many people just take medication to alleviate their symptoms. You could see many doctors and specialists and be treated with an array of medications to alleviate your various symptoms. Yet, these symptoms could all be brought on from the same root cause. It can sometimes take a while to uncover the true cause of your symptoms. But it is worthwhile to keep on pressing and not give up in order to restore health.
She went on to work in engineering for AT&T, making surface acoustic wave devices that were inside wires, laid under the ocean. After moving to North Carolina with her husband for his company, she stopped working to homeschool her four children – Nicole, Danielle, Renee, and Noelle, who all love her dearly. After her children were out of school, she continued to work in the education system as a Special Needs teaching assistant until she retired in 2021. We love Jackie here at The Goldton! She is a kind and loving soul, always wanting to help others.

Independence Day
The Fourth of July marks the historic date in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress. The written declaration stated that the American colonies were tired of being ruled by Great Britain. They wanted to become their own country. Before the declaration, America was part of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Between 1607 and 1732, the British founded the 13 colonies. The British government treated the Americans unfairly, and the colonists rebelled. As a result, the Revolutionary War between the colonists and Great Britain began in 1775. Fighting wasn’t enough. The colonists decided they needed to declare their independence in writing to explain their reasons and gain support from other countries like France. On July 4th, 1776, a small group of representatives from the colonies – called the Continental Congress – adopted the Declaration of Independence. Written by a committee led by Thomas Jefferson, the document was signed by people from all 13 colonies. But the British government didn’t accept it. So the colonists continued to fight for independence until they finally defeated Great Britain in 1783.

Victoria Malaney
Victoria was born in Bristol Connecticut. After High School, she went right into a 3 year RN Nurse Program, which included a lot of training at the Hartford Hospital. As a senior in the RN program, she had a choice of a specialty, and she picked communicable diseases. This was mostly with children, working with a lot of tuberculosis and polio patients. After Victoria graduated as an RN, she went to work as a nurse in a small hospital in upstate New York. She met her husband there and she worked there full time until her first child was born. Victoria did many other things in her life. She volunteered for 20 years at a local hospital. Worked part time selling fine China and crystal, even won a trip to Ireland for a Waterford contest. Victoria was very active with the “Women in Outdoor” group. She did archery, clay targets, hand gun shooting, fishing and much more. Victoria is also an amazing painter. You should see her birds she has painted on porcelain. In 1953, Don, Victoria’s husband went to NYC to try and advance his career in sales. It paid off and he got a job with a paper company in Washington DC. Twenty years later they decided to spend their weekends in the countryside. They found a place in Flintstone Maryland. The family had a great time hunting, fishing and enjoying the peaceful scenery. When Don retired after 50 years in the paper industry, the family moved permanently to Flintstone. They had a log home built on 53 acres, which overlooked a pond they had built. They lived there with their three children for 20 years. After 72 years of marriage, Don passed away and Victoria moved to Spring Hill were her daughter found the Goldton. Victoria, you have had an amazing life – we are so blessed to have you here at the Goldton.
