B4 THE COAST NEWS JULY 13, 2012 Michael Allen Pultz December 25, 1948 – June 25, 2012 Most of us strive to be “more” of something...more tolerant, genuine, funny...more real. Michael was the embodiment of all of these and then some. He was a devoted father, artistic influence and best friend to his son Nemo Pultz, a gentle, loving and supportive life partner with Evie Frum, and he adored his beloved Dachshunds Bogart and Chika who made him laugh every day. Michael was an amazing friend to all – from the gangster learning to surf to the youngster seeking relationship advice. Michael’s heart was designed in such a way that while we all wanted more time with him, the universe called him home on to bigger and better things - to help others for his capacity for love and empathy was endless.

In lieu of flowers, please honor Michael and his lifelong passion with the ocean...take time to watch a summer sunset - gaze at the next gull moon, and spend time with someone who could use a kind word. Michael never missed an opportunity to do all of these. Friends and family are currently planning a Paddle-Out and Luau to be held at Oceanside Harbor North Jetty. “And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better.

Econo Lodge and Americas Best Value Inn were rated among the worst hotel chains. Respondents handed them low scores for attributes like value, upkeep, comfort and service. Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham was the highestrated of the budget hotels, according to the CR survey. The Ritz-Carlton bested all other luxury hotels in CR’s Ratings, earning top marks from survey respondents across the board.

CR notes that while Ritz-style marble bathtubs might be rare, chains are catching up on long-delayed improvements, freshening rooms, replacing worn mattresses and tattered wallpaper, and updating furnishings. Overall, hotels have improved, according to the CR survey. Fifty-three percent of respondents said their check-in and checkout process was excellent, up from 42 percent in 2006. Additionally, 44 percent rated their service as excellent and 43 percent said the same for upkeep — both up 7 percentage points from 2006. On the flip side, 27 percent of respondents had at least one complaint during their stay, such as unattractive beds and outdated decor. GUIDE TO A GREAT RATE This year, an overnight stay is expected to cost an average of $107, up 5 percent from 2011, according to lodging analyst PricewaterhouseCoopers. To help travelers get the best possible deal on their lodging expenses, CR has come up with the following techniques: — Give opaque sites a shot. Travelers who are not loyal to a particular hotel chain and are willing to choose from among a number of brands at a certain price level should consider opaque websites such as Priceline (Name Your Own Price option) and Hotwire Oxycontin, METH, Cocaine, Marijuana, Heroin, Alcoholism WE CAN HELP Get your loved one into treatment.

CR has discovered through years of experimenting that they are the single best way to save money. — Haggle. Only 28 percent of survey respondents tried bargaining, yet 78 percent of those who did won an upgrade or a lower rate. Ask about non-advertised specials, and use free parking or a different bed size as a bargaining chip. — Find Internet-only offers. Terms such as “best available” and “corporate” used to indicate an unbeatable rate.Today the cheapest advertised rates tend to be on the Internet. But they come with strings: full payment when booking, no cancellations and no changes. Wyndham offers discounts of up to 25 percent off the otherwise best available rate for advance purchases. Other Internet specials come and go, so check often. — Get in touch if a better deal is found. Almost every chain and online travel site makes the same boast: If a customer is already booked but finds a cheaper advertised price on the same date at the same hotel for the same type of room, he or she can submit an online claim within 24 hours of booking, and the customer will receive a refund of the difference plus a bonus. Hilton offers a $50 bonus. But chains won’t match prices from opaque sites. — Be loyal. Most hotel loyalty programs are free to join, and members can earn free nights, future discounts, room upgrades, airline miles and rental-car savings. — Show your age or affiliation. A 10 percent discount is the norm for older guests, particularly at lowerprices hotels. Similar discounts often apply to those in the military, government employees and members of groups such as AAA. — Take a gamble. Hoteliers quietly maintain a “fade” rate, the minimum they’ll accept per room for walk-in guests. If you’re ready to walk after hearing the lowest rate, the clerk may use the fade rate to earn at least some revenue from a vacant room. Visit the Consumer Reports website at consumerreports.org.
JULY 13, 2012 After age 50, as many as half of all women will break a bone due to osteoporosis. This is a progressive disease that causes bones to deteriorate and increases the risk of fracture. More than 40 million people in the United States already have osteoporosis or carry a high risk of developing it. Men and women can develop osteoporosis, but it affects twice as many women. Osteoporosis results from an imbalance between the cells that that create bone and those that break it down. Bones are constantly growing and deteriorating, but bone-building cells naturally become less active with age and cannot regenerate bone as quickly as it breaks down. If other risk factors are present—such as a family history of osteoporosis, decreasing estrogen levels or lack of exercise—bones can become even more prone to fracture. However, osteoporosis is not inevitable. Being aware of the risk factors and taking preventive steps early in life can help keep bones strong and healthy. Between age 20 and 40, lifestyle plays a major role in bone health. Avoiding tobacco and alcohol can help prevent bone loss. As few as two alcoholic drinks per day significantly increase the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. Being underweight is also a risk factor. Women should maintain a healthy weight through a well-balanced diet that includes adequate amounts of calcium as well as vitamin D. Generally, premenopausal women should have 1,000 to 1,200 milligrams of calcium and 800 to 1,000 milligrams of vitamin D daily. Most nutrients should come from diet; supplements should be used only when recommended by a physician. Weight-bearing exercise such as running or dancing is a must for bone maintenance. Research has found that women who exercised at least four hours per week had a 40 percent lower risk of fracture than those who exercised for less than M ore than 40 million people in the United States already have osteoporosis or carry a high risk of developing it. one hour. Even simply walking jars the body just enough to stimulate bone growth. Non-lifestyle factors also may boost risk. Chronic use of certain medications, such as some anti-depressants or steroid drugs, may weaken bones. If a woman’s mother or father had a fracture, she may be more likely to develop osteoporosis. Any previous fracture in a woman’s own life, regardless of cause, could indicate a predisposition to the dis- THE COAST NEWS Racetrack kicks off 75th season DEL MAR — The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club will celebrate 75 years as a world-class racing and entertainment destination this summer beginning July 18.

Osteoporosis prevention is no lucky break Health Watch By the physicians and staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas ease. During the years immediately before menopause, women’s estrogen levels begin to drop, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis. Once menopause begins, all women should have a bone density test; premenopausal women who have any of the risk factors listed above should have the test as well. If bone density is normal, most women should keep taking preventive measures and continue to get screened every two to three years, starting at menopause. Bone density that is slightly lower than normal indicates a condition called osteopenia. In this case, a specialized fracture risk assessment tool may be used to assess the risk of fracture over the next 10 years. If risk is high, treatment may be recommended. Finally, if the test shows osteoporosis, treatment should be started according to each woman’s individual needs. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas.
