Downing seeking applicants for Spring Citizens' Legislative Seminar at Statehouse BOSTON – State Senator Benjamin B. Downing (D – Pittsfield) announced today that the 72nd Citizens' Legislative Seminar (CLS) will be held on Tuesday, March 4th and Wednesday, March 5th from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Massachusetts State House.

The CLS is a biannual seminar that aims to better educate the public on the Commonwealth’s legislative process. Established in 1976 through a collaborative effort of the Massachusetts Senate and the University of Massachusetts, this two-day conference features presentations by Senators and staff on aspects of the day-to-day experience of legislators in the Commonwealth. Topics will include the history and process of the Legislature, the parliamentary role of the

Clerk of the Senate and the future of the Legislature.

The CLS culminates with a simulated legislative hearing and Senate session where participants are invited to use what they have learned and participate as “Senators” in the Senate Chamber in order to have a first-hand experience of the legislative process.

Any resident of the Berkshire, Hampshire, Franklin & Hampden District who is interested in participating in the CLS should send their resume to the Senator’s Chief of Staff, Bethann Steiner, at Bethann.Steiner@ masenate.gov by Noon on Thursday, January 16, 2014.

Senator Downing will nominate participants to attend on a first come, first serve basis.

Applicants must be able to attend both days of the program in order to be nominated.

Receding Gums

A Major Issue Affecting Oral Health (Family Features) Affecting nearly half of the U.S. population, gum recession is an oral health issue in which the gums have worn away, exposing teeth to damaging, diseasecausing bacteria. While traditional treatments exist, they come with a painful surgery with a long recovery time. A new treatment option, however, offers better, nearly painfree results for patients.

Gum recession and its traditional treatments For many, the issue of receding gums is caused by gum disease or from simply overbrushing the teeth and gums.

While aging often comes into play, children can also be affected. In fact, 10 percent of children with braces suffer from gum recession.

While there is a surgical method to correct the issue, also known as gum grafting, the process can be very painful, requiring multiple surgical procedures and an extended recovery time. To perform this method, tissue from the roof of the mouth is cut, removed and surgically grafted onto the receding gum area. But thanks to a new technique, patients now have a less painful option for correcting this issue.

A new and improved method This breakthrough method for treating gum recession is called the Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST). Invented and patented by John Chao, D.D.S., the procedure is incision-free and suture-free. To correct the problem, Chao uses a fine needle to create a small pinhole above the receded gums. With special instruments the gums are loosened from the underlying connective tissue and moved into the proper position. Finally, collagen strips are placed through the pinhole under the gums to keep them in place. The Pinhole Surgical Technique is "quick," "easy," and "instantly pleasing." It is quick because

it takes only 15 to 20 minutes to correct gum recession for two or three teeth. It is "easy" on the patient because no incisions or stitching is required.

Hence, there are hardly any symptoms of discomfort afterwards. It is "instantly pleasing" because the gum line looks practically normal immediately after the procedure is completed. Many patients are astounded by the "instant" change in appearance.

Factors for patients While costs of both procedures are comparable, there are several factors for patients to consider. Traditional gum grafting from another place in the mouth requires several incisions and generally can only correct one to two teeth per surgical visit, which can take up to two hours to complete. PST, on the other hand, involves no incisions, can correct 10-14 teeth per visit and only takes about 20 minutes to treat three teeth. Also, the Pinhole is practically healed and disappears by the next day, while gum grafting can take up to three weeks to heal.

Coming to a town near you Due to the popularity of the new technique, Dr. Chao is training the PST procedure to dentists around the world.

This allows patients from the U.S. and all over the world to take part in this innovative new procedure. For information about dentists in your

a worldwide organization of more than 1.5 million members, the Lions motto is “We Serve.”

Lions Clubs across the state donate more than $1 million to Massachusetts Eye Research, but also conduct service activities emphasizing diabetes awareness, education and research, community welfare, improved hearing, and work with those who are physically and mentally impaired.

Lions members come from every walk of life, age and persuasion, but all have one thing in common: they enjoy helping others. While the primary function of the Club is charitable, its members often find involvement in Lionism leads to improved networking with others in the community.

Any resident interested in joining this local Lions Club is most welcome to come to a meeting as a guest to talk with others about the work of Lionism and get to know the benefits of becoming a member.

(Family Features) As you rush from store to store this holiday season, making your list and checking it twice, you may not be giving careful attention to safeguarding your cellphone. Distracted shoppers make easy targets for mischief and even simple careless losses.

Each year, the percentage of claims filed for lost or stolen cellphones increases in November, December and January, according to claims data from Asurion, a mobile protection and solutions company that partners with wireless providers around the globe. New Year's Eve is the most dangerous holiday for phones, with an 83 percent increase in claims.

"The risk of theft increases during the holidays, and consumers need to consider a more comprehensive approach to protecting their smartphones and the valuable information on them," said Bettie Colombo, spokesperson for Asurion.

Tips for Celebrating a Delicious and Satisfying Healthy Holiday (Family Features) 'Tis the season to eat, drink and be healthy.

It's tempting to overindulge during the holidays and postpone thoughts of healthy eating until the New Year, but staying healthy year-round is easy with the right approach. Adapting a low-carb lifestyle allows dieters to enjoy savory holiday dishes without damaging their waistlines. Consider employing these simple tips during your next holiday party to feel more satisfied by healthy holiday meals.

Keep snacks on hand. Colleagues often bring in tempting treats to share during the holidays. Plan ahead and bring healthy snacks to help you curb your cravings. Try fresh berries or nuts for a satisfying snack.

Start an "active" tradition. Introduce a new activity that helps keep the family active between festive meals. Invite loved ones to take a walk, go sledding or ice skating as a fun way to burn calories while you bond.

Master the buffet. Check out resources like www.atkins. com for tips on what to gravitate towards at restaurants and holiday buffets. As a rule, stick to lean protein dishes like roast turkey, ham and salmon and pair with tossed salads and roasted vegetables. At sit-down meals, don't feel like you have to consume every dish. If your hostess insists, take a small portion to taste and compliment his or her dish.

Limit your booze. Lots of people like to toast the holidays with cocktails. A great way to curb caloric intake is to limit yourself to two glasses of wine or one glass of spirits and drink plenty of water as well. When drinking spirits, it's a good idea to mix with water or a sugar-free mixer like club soda. Garnish with plenty of lemon or lime for added flavor.

Old clutch idea still holds true

BY TOM AND RAY MAGLIOZZI Dear Tom and Ray: I am an old-timer and have driven manual transmissions since the late '60s. In those days, I was told that it is not good to leave the clutch depressed when at a stoplight, as it would prematurely wear out the throw-out bearing. I am now driving a 2009 Mini Cooper with a six-speed manual transmission, and I'm wondering if this old rule still applies. Or has modern technology improved to the point where this is no longer an issue? Thank you! -- Joe TOM: No. Modern technology has not improved to the point where this is not an issue.

RAY: In other words, it's still an issue.

TOM: In fact, back in the late '60s, it was far easier to change a release (aka throwout) bearing when one went bad. Many simple, rearwheel-drive cars from that era had transmissions that you could take out with half a dozen bolts.

RAY: Or, put a less-appealing way, the transmission could fall out of the car if only half a dozen bolts worked themselves loose!

TOM: On some cars, like Chryslers and AMCs, you could have the transmission out and on the floor, and a new release bearing in, in half an hour!

RAY: These days, it's a

nightmare. You have to pull the sub frame down, and sometimes you have to pull the engine and transmission together. So you want to do everything you can to prolong your release bearing's existence.

TOM: To do that, you do exactly what you've been doing since the '60s, Joe: You don't sit at a traffic light with your foot on the clutch; instead, put the transmission in neutral, and take your foot off the clutch pedal. Your release bearing is working only when the clutch pedal is depressed.

RAY: By the way, if a customer ever does need a release bearing these days, we will always put in a completely new clutch at the same time.

With all that labor involved, you'd be really ticked off if you replaced the release bearing only to have the clutch fail six months later.

TOM: And the reverse is true, too. If a person needs a clutch, we always put in a new release bearing at the same time.

RAY: But at $1,800 for a clutch job these days, you want to put it off as long as possible. So rest that left leg, Joe. *** To buy or not to buy -options, that is. Are options worth what you pay for them, or are you better off just going with the basics? Order Tom and Ray's pamphlet "Should I

Buy, Lease, or Steal My Next Car?" to find out. Send $4.75 (check or money order) to Next Car, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

When it comes to 21st century multimedia platforms, “hyper local” is a term you hear a lot.

It’s not a new idea. In fact, The Westfield News has been providing readers with “hyper local” news coverage of Westfield, Southwick, and the Hilltowns all along. Television, radio and regional newspapers only provide fleeting coverage of local issues you care about. TV stations and big newspaper publishers, after years of cutbacks and mergers, frankly aren’t able to provide in-depth coverage of smaller markets anymore.

But, day in and day out, The Westfield News provides consistant coverage of the stories you need to know about, that are important to your city, town, neighborhood and home.
