County's museums seek volunteers
Living history docent Jay Skutt, who serves as president of the
Plumas-Eureka State Park Association board, mans the assay
office to explain the process of determining the amount of gold
in ore samples. Mines regularly tested ore samples from all of
their shafts and mining locations. The association is looking for
volunteers to work as docents at the park. A training session is
planned for April 21. File photo

The Plumas-Eureka State
Park Association is looking
for a few good men and
women. The group has a need
for volunteer docents. It will
host a docent training day to
sign up new volunteers and
bring existing docents up to
date on the latest develop-
ments at the parkl
The commitment can be for
as little as a couple times a
month to as much time as the
individual would like to par-
ticipate. PESPA needs people
to work behind the counter at
the store and museum, as
tour guides for the Moriarity
House and assay office, and
as blacksmiths. The group
provides training programs
for all positions.
The training is set for Sat-
urday, April 21, 10 a.m. - 3
p.m. at the PlUmas-Eureka
State Park museum. Lunch is
provided.
Interested folks should
RSVP by April 15 to Jay Skutt
at 836-4135. For more informa-
tion on PESPA and its activi-
ties, visit plumas-eureka.org.

tourist and recreation sea-

cabin, explains the history of gold mining in Plumas County to a

With Drs Michael and Emily Herndon
Well, I am back with these articles after much thought and considera-
tion. The title is changed although the intent to inform is still at the
forefront of these writings
In the last week, I have had three patients come in with toothaches
in teeth with metal or metal/porcelain crowns. Diagnostic evaluation
did not reveal any tooth decay yet it was obvious that these teeth needed
attention in the form of root canal treatment to eliminate the pain the
patients were having. Upon entering these three teeth, it was found that
despite being no clinical or x-ray evidence that there was a cavity under
the crowns, they indeed had large amounts of decay.
The use of metal crowns prohibits the diagnostic value of x-rays unless
the decay extends below the level of the crown. However, the use of
porcelain or hybrid materials for crowns allows much better diagnostic
consideration during examinations. This is one of the reasons that
dentists are moving away from metal or metal substrate crowns
Another reason is that with current bonding techniques and new
materials that have been developed to create esthetic fracture resistant
crowns, we can be so much more conservative with your natural tooth
structure. This minimizes trauma to the teeth as well as preserving a
much more natural look.
In our office, Dr. Emily and I provide conservative partial and
full crowns using what is considered the "Gold Standard" of bonding
techniques and materials that are far more fracture resistant than
standard materials. These crowns are actually provided for teeth in one
appointment. A patient comes in for a crown and they leave with
the final crown in place. We carefully follow the science behind these
materials and techniques and provide our patients with these crowns
designed and bonded to create natural looking comfortable restorations.
