TIPS FOR NEGOTIATING WITH CONTRACTORS

Do your homework. Getting the best price typically require shopping around and not settling on the first bid. Experts recommend getting at least three estimates on the same job - and be sure to let each contractor know that you are soliciting multiple bids. This alone may entice a specific contractor to give you his or her best offer up front. Avoid simply choosing the lowest bid. Look at quality of work, reputation and reviews. If you like a costly contractor more than another, see if that contractor is willing to match a lower bid to win the job.

Did You Know?

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones that occurs when a person loses too much bone, produces too little bone or both. Though the disease is most often associated with women over 50, anyone can suffer from osteoporosis, which weakens bones and can make them more susceptible to breaks.

MOMENTS IN TIME

The History Channel * On May 21, 1901, Connecticut becomes the first state to limit the speed of motor vehicles to 12 mph in cities and 15 mph on country roads. As late as 1930, a dozen states had no speed limit, while 28 states did not even require a driver’s license.

I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feelings of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature’s rebirth?

US President Wilson proclaimed the first Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May in 1914 following the campaign of Anna Jarvis, who sought to honor her late mother’s legacy of community service and peace/unity promotion. 111 years later, Mother’s Day (May 11th this year) remains a holiday to celebrate and/or honor mothers. How do you celebrate Mother's Day?

5.9% I host or go out for a meal 17.6% I send flowers or a thoughtful gift to the mother/s in my life 11.8% I spend quality time either with my mom or doing something she likes to do

11.8% I help her with chores she doesn’t like to do

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Senior discounts are even more important now

The price increases we might see because of the expected tariffs make this a good time to get used to hunting for senior discounts on all the goods and services we need and want.

As usual, the definition of “senior” varies from store to store and restaurant to restaurant. One might stick to the age 65, when we used to start collecting Social Security, and others might look at age 50, when AARP starts identifying us as potential subscribers -- or anywhere in between.

Despite the occasional confusion about age, there are discounts to be had.

Shop your local stores first. They’re more likely to offer senior discounts because they want your business, and your repeat business.

Check Goodwill and The Salvation Army stores for discount days. Ask your local grocery stores about senior discount days.You might need a loyalty card, but even those can often get you rewards cash. Don’t forget pharmacies, eyeglass stores, gyms, clothing stores, travel agencies, movie theaters, insurance agents, auto repair locations -- anywhere you spend money. They’re not likely to offer you any discount unless you ask for it. But they do want your business, and it’s to their benefit to give you a discount.

Scroll through the discount area of the AARP website and see if a membership makes sense for you. (I get $20 off an annual Walmart+ plan, which pays for my AARP membership.)

Search for discounts online by looking for “senior discounts 2025” and your area.Then call in advance to verify that a certain discount is available.

Don’t be shy about asking. In fact, before you go to any restaurant or store, make it a rule to call and inquire, and to verify the age they consider senior.

Small Town Neighbors

The great part about living in a small town is everybody knows everyone, sees everything, and anything out of the ordinary gets plenty of folks on it right away. Thank you to the neighbors who knew our critters were out before we did, tracked us down, tracked them down, and helped get them home. You’re all good sports and GREAT neighbors.

Act of Kindness

I went to good will with my staff and my friend in Victor. I found a really nice big Vera Bradley bag. When I went to pay for it the lady in front of me had paid for it. That was very nice of her. It made my day! I think we need more people like her in the world!

Why do some people think it’s OK to mow grass onto the road? Not only is it dangerous for bicyclest and motor cycles. There are stones that you may also hit people and cars with. Also mowing all your grass on to others property after they have respectfully mowed grass on to their own side.

Street Bikes

I get the weather is getting nice and the street bikes are starting to come out and you want to go fast, because well, that’s what they are designed to do... but if you are going to speed.. at least do it on the highways where the speed limit is 65, not on small side roads where the speed limit is 40 and people are walking their dogs, riding their bikes and taking their children for walks up the quiet road. No reason to be doing 80+ on these roads. And yes, when it does happen, the cops are called and a description is given. Just use some common sense and curiosity.

For Several Ailments

Q.

DEAR DR.ROACH: I am a 76-year-old male in good health. I go to the gym three days a week, eat well, and fast one day a week. I have been reading about taking a tablespoon of olive oil at night as a remedy for all kinds of things such as digestion issues and arthritis. I tried it, and I swear that the first day after ingesting it, I felt less pain in the arthritis in my hands and feet.

Is there any evidence that this practice is helpful? Also, does it matter what kind or brand of olive oil one uses? I bought special olive oil that is polyphenol-rich; it is lighter and more tasty than the extra-virgin oil I normally buy at the food market. What’s your take on this? -- L.A.

ANSWER: Although I don’t think olive oil is a cure for all ailments, there are certainly health benefits when using olive oil compared to most oils.The flavor and amount of polyphenol (an anti-inflammatory compound found in olive oil) will vary from one brand to another. These anti-inflammatory compounds can help symptoms of arthritis in some people.

Personally, I recommend extra-virgin olive oil (made from the initial squeezing of olives without chemical and heat treatment), which has the highest amount of the nutrients you want. But my advice is to choose based on the flavor you like and how much you want to spend rather than the polyphenol content. And of course, too much of anything, including olive oil, isn’t good for you, but a tablespoon is fine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I came down with a headache, but nothing showed up after a year of tests, including a CT scan, MRIs, and a spinal tap. Then I was told that I had a nummular headache, which I understand is rare. I have a sore spot in the back of my head and a feeling in my head that I just can’t explain. I don’t know how I made it through a year until I got on meds.

I am now taking 25 mg of lamotrigine a day. I’m at the point where I’ll have a couple good days, then it comes back. Can this be cured? Is the medication that I’m taking OK, or is there something better? -- K.S.

ANSWER: A nummular headache (the name comes from the Latin word for coin as the sore spot is often the size and shape of a coin) is very uncommon, and I’ve never treated a case. I would defer treatment to a neurologist with expertise in headaches.

Gabapentin is a common treatment, but lamotrigine is also used. The best treatment is the one that works best for you.Although sometimes the condition will simply go away, it often doesn’t, requiring chronic medication to keep symptoms under control.

I will note that you are on a tiny dose of lamotrigine. It needs to be started at a small dose, but when used for seizures, the usual dose is 400-600 mg per day (which takes several weeks to reach, titrating slowly). If it’s working for you but not well enough, you might do better with a higher dose.

If a higher dose doesn’t work, there are other medications to try such as antidepressants like amitriptyline and other seizure medications like carbamazepine. One other option to ask your neurologist about is botulinum toxin (Botox), which relieves pain by more than half in about two-thirds of patients.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

HEEL SPUR SYNDROME/PLANTAR FASCIITIS is a common problem among people who are active. It starts as a dull intermittent pain in the heel and progresses to a sharp persistent pain. Classically, it is worse in the morning with the first few steps, after sitting, after standing or after walking.

• Plantar fasciitis often begins with irritation and tearing of the fibrous band of tissue on the bottom of the foot, which may eventually result in the formation of a heel spur.

• Contributing factors: Flat pronated feet, high arched feet, poor shoe support, increased age, sudden weight increase, increased activity level, family tendency.

• 95% of our patients’ symptoms are resolved with conservative treatment, avoiding surgical intervention.

• We also offer surgical procedures with the best post op success rates using Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy techniques (minimal incisions and scarring; often back in a shoe in 1 week).

PAYAL BANSAL: Elevating Interiors with Traditional Indian Art Forms, Timeless Beauty, and Heritage

“When I bring a rug or a Phad into a room, it’s not just about decorating – it’s about anchoring the space with memory, craft, and soul.”

For Clarence-based Payal Bansal, design has always been more than arranging beautiful things in a room – it’s about feeling. e way a space wraps around you, the way light plays on texture, the way history whispers through handmade details.

Growing up in India, Payal was surrounded by centuries-old architecture, intricate cra smanship, and homes that held stories in every corner. at world shaped how she sees design today, with modern luxury and timeless tradition living in harmony. Her mother, Vinita, had a remarkable eye for color and a natural talent for making a room come alive. She approached design with both boldness and heart, and watching her mother work inspired Payal’s passion for interiors and the arts.

Deep-rooted appreciation for cra draws her to traditional Indian art forms – not as relics of the past, but as living, evolving expressions of culture and emotion. Payal says, “ ere’s something quietly radical about turning to the past for inspiration, especially when that past is as rich, intricate, and soul-stirring” as hand-knotted wool rugs or Phad paintings. ere’s something powerful about art that speaks through texture, she reflects, adding, “Beauty lies not only in how something looks, but in how it’s made, what it carries, and how it makes you feel in a space.”

For generations, hand-knotted rugs have graced the floors of homes around the world, grounding rooms in comfort and elegance. But Payal turns things on its head as she li s them up—literally—and gives them a new voice on the walls. When a finely woven rug is hung at eye level, its cra smanship becomes undeniable, she says, as “the intricate knots, the nuanced dyes, the play of light on the wool – it all transforms into something sculptural and soulful.”

A Journey rough Time and Cra

e journey hand-knotted rugs take is remarkable, beginning in the lush fields of New Zealand, where wool is sourced, cleaned, and baled before traveling to India, where Payal says, “the magic truly begins.” ere, skilled artisans take the wool and handspin it for an organic texture or machine-spin it for a more refined look. en, they dye the yarn with “a mix of age-old natural techniques” using pomegranate rind, madder root, and iron oxide as well as modern fade-resistant hues that a er sundrying, cast “a subtle luster that feels both timeless and current.”

Payal explains that skilled weavers then translate detailed patterns combining classical motifs with minimalist or modern elements, knot by knot, on vertical looms using a traditional chart called a Talim. She says, “It’s a labor of love that can take months – or even over a year – to complete.”

A er the final knot is tied and the rug is washed, stretched, sheared, and bound, the result is “a unique work of art, infused with intention, heritage, and soul.”

e Living Stories of Phad Painting

Similarly, Phad painting – a centuries-old art form from Rajasthan – pulses with meaning to this day. ese narrative scrolls were once used as portable temples, unfurled by storytellers at night to the glow of lantern light and accompanied by music, weaving epic tales of local deities such as Pabuji and Devnarayan. e vibrant hues, dense compositions, and spiritual depth of these bring character and history into any space they inhabit.

Payal says, “Just as Renaissance masters Leonardo DaVinci and Michelangelo layered lime plaster with earthy pigments to bring their frescoes to life... Every brushstroke, every color, and every figure [in a Phad painting] is a part of a larger visual symphony meant to honor not just the divine but the depth of our shared human experience.” Phad artists use natural brushes and pigments derived from nature (crushed minerals, indigo, turmeric, pomegranate rind, and soot) mixed with gum to achieve rich, enduring color.

Phad paintings, Payal says, are historically and artistically significant but also reflect exquisite visual complexity, “dense, with no negative space, emphasizing community and connection – both spiritual and human.” Whether incorporated into a minimalist apartment, a grand elegant residence, or something in between, Phad paintings elevate spaces with “timeless warmth, character, and cultural depth.”

Choosing Meaning Over Trend

What ties these art forms together for Payal is intention. “When I bring a rug or a Phad into a room, it’s not just about decorating – it’s about anchoring the space with memory, cra , and soul,” Payal says, adding that “each brushstroke carries tradition. Each color tells a story. In a home designed with intention, art becomes more than décor – it becomes memory, emotion, and legacy... these pieces connect us to something bigger – reminding us that beauty and heritage are not trends, but timeless treasures.”

In a world chasing trends, Payal believes in slowing down and choosing pieces that mean something. Whether it’s through the delicate weave of a rug or the storytelling brushstrokes of a Phad, these works connect us to history, to culture, and to each other. To see more of how she works with these forms of art and tradition, follow along @payalbansaldesign or visit payalbansalinteriordesign.com. Let’s keep celebrating beauty built by hand with heart.

“Beauty lies not only in how something looks, but in how it’s made, what it carries, and how it makes you feel in a space.”
