OBITUARIES
Helene (Whaler) Lerner
Helene was born Helene
Lucille Gilbert on Feb. 4,
1915, to Wilber Cross Gilbert
and Carrie Moore Gilbert in
Stonehurst, Calif., a suburb
of Oakland.
Helen e passed away July
31, 2011, at the age of 96. She
had one older sister, Lois.
Helene had documentation
of her ancestors traveling in
covered wagons heading west
in 1853. In 1920, after her
mother divorced her father,
they moved to Whidbey
Island, Wash. In 1923 when
Helene was 8 years old, she
sailed on the Matson Line
ship to Oahu, Hawaii, along
with her mother and sister.
Her mother was pursuing a
career as a photographer and
artist. On the way over to
Hawaii the ship encountered
a terrible tidal wave. The
waves were so large they
swept over' the ship and
tipped it dangerously from
side to side. Fortunately, she
survived the ordeal. Also
on that ship Helene met
Duke Kahanamoku, a famous
Hawaiian Olympic gold
medal swimmer. Duke
Kahanamoku later taught
Helene and Lois how to swim
at Waikiki Beach.
They returned to Los Gatos
a year later, where Helene
finished her schooling. One
of her classmates was Olivia
de Havilland. She had her
yearbook to prove it.
Helene took after her mother
and was a very talented
photographer and artist. She
did her first oil painting at
the age of 14. Helene was a
great storyteller and shared
many wonderful adventures
that she experienced in her
lifetime.
Helene met Mel Whaler at
the Presidio in San Francisco
where he was stationed in the
Army. They were married
Jan. 1, 1933. They spent their
first years on the Klamath
River near Happy Camp

during the depression years.
Helene supplemented their
income with her paintings
and wood carvings. Before
moving to Dixie Canyon,
tlelene and Mel had a daugh-
ter, Nancy, and a son, Ron.
Another son, Gary, was born
in Dixie Canyon.
She continued her painting
and wood carvings. Her
paintings were displayed in
varies places throughout
Plumas County. Her paint-
ings consisted of pen and ink,
pastels, watercolors and oils.
Helene also loved the out-
doors and enjoyed fly-fishing,
tying her own flies and duck
and deer hunting. She was an
excellent shot. Helene had a
passion for her pets over the
years. Her dogs were at her
side always. Helene's dogs
were her family.
After divorcing Mel, she
married Ernest Lerner in
1958 and lived in Portola.
Ernie had four daughters,
Janice, Melba, Deloris and
Darlene, from a previous
marriage.
tIelene, continued her
talents as an artist and began
a new hobby making jewelry,
using the opals they mined
in Spencer, Idaho. They en-
joyed mining opals so much,
they purchased a cabin in
Spencer. She and Ernie took
several trips to Baja, Mexico,
in the middle 1960s before
any paved roads were in that
area. We enjoyed hearing
her stories about the poor
Mexican people they be-
friended and all their adven-
tures in the cab-over camper
they drove. Helene and Ernie

DENTISTRY
****STRAIGHT TALK FOR THE CONSUMER****
Red gums that bleed around crowns, #2
I last week's article, I wrote that red gums around crowns is almost (99.999999%)
always caused by the placement of the crown edge (margin) below the skin (gum
line), the shape and fit of the crown. It is virtually never caused by an allergy to the
materials in the crown. In the unlikely event that it is Caused by an incredibly rare
allergy, it still would have been prevented if the margin of the crown had not been
placed below the gum line.
I could never count the immense number of patients coming into my office that I
have seen suffering this unfortunate condition give that it is completely preventa-
ble. This is what I have written about using the term "latrogenic Periodontitis".
This is periodontal inflammation caused by the way the dentistry was done, pure and
simple. It is inconceivable how someone can practice their entire career without
ever seemingly making the so obvious conclusion of cause and effect. It would go
like this: "This patient came in and needed a crown. The skin around the tooth
Looked fine. I prepared the tooth for a crown, packed retraction cord around the
crown (or used a laser) and took the impression and sent it to the lab. The crown
came back and I cemented it on the tooth. Now I see the patient back in my office
for a periodic exam, and why, lookie here!! The skin is now inflamed. Could it be
caused by the way I did the crown?!??" This should be common sense, right? Then
why do we see this type of work coming from some dentists repeatedly year after
year throughout their whole career? I do not have an answer for this because I just
don't know and it is incomprehensible from the perspective of those that know in
the profession. So, take a look at the gums around any crown you have. If the
tissue looks any different than what you see around your teeth that do not have a
crown, you have some degree of this condition.
These articles are not intended to be harsh towards the work you may have on your
teeth'; they are intended to help educate you about a condition that is not healthy for
you. Any interpretation of harshness on my part is really me being direct and
straight forward in telling you these stories. Sugar coating this gets us nowhere. I
have many friends within my profession and many that I have deep respect for. Yet,
we (those that know the research and spend their professional lives providing
evidence based dentistry) have no patience for colleagues that do not follow the
obvious fundamentals of good dentistry for there is no excuse other than ignorance
and that,is no excuse since this subject has been studied tbr so long and we know
so much about it. In addition, please recognize that this condition is not healthy
for you and is completely correctable. I am bringing this Straight Talk for the
Consumer to you because I care about your health and you need to know these
things.
