OBITUARIES
Shirley Ann DuPont
Longtime Quincy resident
Shirley Ann DuPont, 79,
passed away peacefully with
her beloved husband Gene by
her side Aug. 14, 2011, at their
home in Gold Canyon, Ariz.
Born Nov. 7, 1931, in Maud,
Okla., to Earl and Linda
Dakin, Shirley spent her
early years in Culver City,
Calif., where she enjoyed
visiting the beach and dream-
ing of being "discovered." At
age 12, her family moved to
their quaint stone home in
Keddie, known as"Dakin
Holler," where Shirley was
blessed to swim and fish in
Spanish Creek which was
just out her back door.
As the story goes, not too
long after graduating from
Quincy High School in 1949,
Shirley snuck away one night
to marry her high school
sweetheart, Gene DuPont, in
Reno, Nee. This began 61
glorious years together, with
a marriage bond rarely
experienced in this day and
age. Together they started a
successful family business,
DuPont Power Tool, which is
still in operation today with
son Duff at the helm.
Shirley will be fondly re-
membered for representing
Plumas County as the first
Sweetheart of the Mountains
in 1949, She was active
in both Quincy and Gold
Canyon as a member of the
Quincy Soroptimist Club,
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority,
Graeagle Meadows Women's
Golf Club, Mountain Brook
Women's Golf Club and th~
Gold Canyon Red Hat Club.
She also served civically as a
voter precinct worker in
Plumas County and a mem-
ber of the grand jury.
She and Gene have spent
their "golden years" enjoying
many beautiful sunsets in
Arizona while challenging
each other in a game of
cribbage~each evening. Fit-
ness was a top priority for
Shirley and she began each
day with Richard Simmons,
who usurped Jack LaLanne
with his "Golden Oldies"
video. She also enjoyed
spending time with her
friends and family in a
good game of cribbage,
Yahtzee, bocce or pickleball
on occasion.
Shirley will be deeply
missed by her husband,
Gene; her son Rick and his
wife Gayle; her daughter
Nina and husband Dave
Stone; her son Duff; her
daughter Linda and husband
Rod Fagan; her eight grand-
children, Dane, Joel, Crystal
and husband Sam. Justin,
Rachel, Riley, Madeline
and Kevin; and great-grand-
children Ziah and Marley.
A memorial service and
celebration of her life will be
held Aug. 27 in the Mineral
Building at the Plumas-
Sierra County Fairgrounds
beginning at 11 a.m.
Antoinette Matilda Poma
Our beloved wife, mother,
grandmother and sister,
Antoinette Matilda Poma,
peacefully passed from this
life to her eternal home with
the Lord at Renown Medical
Center in Reno Friday
evening, Aug. 19, 2011, at the

Red gums that bleed around crowns, #3
It is important to take note that if you have irritation and inflammation around any
of your crowns it can be corrected. Realistically, not all need to be corrected by
aggressive treatment. It is all a matter of degree. Some can be corrected as your
hygienist has probably told you: Make sure you pay special attention to these areas
with your dental floss and your toothbrush. That can make a lot of difference
and can help many of these problems. However, some of these must be treated
differently and there are basically two methods of correcting this.
The two ways to correct this unfortunate condition is to either move the crown or
move the bone and tissue. There really is no other treatment that will work. The
crown can be moved from the tissue by reshaping the tooth (this is a method
requiring excellent skill and intimate understanding of the local physiology and
anatomy) and then placing a new crown that respects the surrounding gums. In the
other method of correction, tissue can be moved away from the edge of the crown
by a surgical procedure that moves the surrounding bone and gums further away
from the crown margin (edge) and then sewing the tissue back in place.
We have a term that is called "Biologic Width" and this can be loosely defined as
a certain thickness of skin (gum) above the bone and around the tooth that is
required for health. If we encroach on this thickness by placing a crown or other
restoration too close to the bone, we get chronic inflammation the degree of which
is determined by the degree of encroachment and the variable factors of host
(patient) immune system and physiology, Violation of this biologic width is a more
serious matter than just putting a crown edge too far below the gum line for there
is no way to correct this without knowledgeable intervention as outlined above.
On a front tooth, this is a very serious matter because it clearly affects the visual
quality of your smil e. Treatment of a front tooth with this condition requires a very
skillful treatment that is much more complex than on a tooth in the back of the
mouth because it all affects the appearance of your smile. Be assured however, that
this is also correctable. If you see this on your front teeth, make sure you have it
evaluated by someone trained specifically in these procedures and with extensive
experience in treating these conditions for without that you are really taking a
chance. This treatment may require orthodontic, surgical, and restorative skill of
the highest caliber for success. These skills must be contained completely within the
individual or the team. This falls within the area of dentistry called Periodontal
Prosthesis (or Perio/Prosth), which was the basis of my training at the University
of Pennsylvania. Remember, you only see what you know, which is a truism, not
an egotistical statement. Straight Talk for the Consumer will continue.
