Resident Of
Month
The
Frank Formento
... Frank was born
on May 29th, 1932 in Bevier, Missouri to Frank
& Ada Formento.
When Frank was 18 months old his father
passed away. He said he learned at an early age
what work was. He helped his mother with all
chores and when he was old enough he went to
work to help earn money for the family by going to the coal mines with his grandfather.
He said he earned $1 a day. Frank finished the
8th grade and then went to work.
In May of 1952 Frank married Nola Still. To this union two children were born. One son,
Farrell and one daughter, Catalina.
For the next 60 years Frank and his wife owned and operated Formento Trucking. Frank
loved driving a semi truck. He hauled coal, water, lime and sand rock.
Sadly in 2011 his son Farrell passed away and is missed deeply. In 2012, Frank’s lovely wife,
Nola, passed away as well. Frank has been blessed with two grandchildren that he adores.
The staff & residents at MHCC enjoy being part of your life Frank!

14 SIMPLE GARDENING TRICKS & TIPS
Here, the latest tips and tricks from Paul James, host of Gardening by the Yard:
1. To remove the salt deposits that form on clay pots, combine equal parts white vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water in a
spray bottle. Apply the mixture to the pot and scrub with a plastic brush. Let the pot dry before you plant anything in it.
2. To prevent accumulating dirt under your fingernails while you work in the garden, draw your fingernails across a bar of
soap and you'll effectively seal the undersides of your nails so dirt can't collect beneath them. Then, after you've finished
in the garden, use a nailbrush to remove the soap and your nails will be sparkling clean.
3. To prevent the line on your string trimmer from jamming or breaking, treat with a spray vegetable oil before installing it in
the trimmer.
4. Turn a long-handled tool into a measuring stick! Lay a long-handled garden tool on the ground, and next to it place a tape
measure. Using a permanent marker, write inch and foot marks on the handle. When you need to space plants a certain
distance apart (from just an inch to several feet) you'll already have a measuring device in your hand.
More Tips and Tricks from Paul :
5. To have garden twine handy when you need it, just stick a ball of twine in a small clay pot, pull the end of the twine through
the drainage hole, and set the pot upside down in the garden. Do that, and you'll never go looking for twine again.
6. Little clay pots make great cloches for protecting young plants from sudden, overnight frosts and freezes."
7. To turn a clay pot into a hose guide, just stab a roughly one-foot length of steel reinforcing bar into the ground at the
corner of a bed and slip two clay pots over it: one facing down, the other facing up. The guides will prevent damage to your plants as you drag the hose along the bed.
8. To create perfectly natural markers, write the names of plants (using a permanent marker) on the flat faces of stones of
various sizes and place them at or near the base of your plants.
9. Got aphids? You can control them with a strong blast of water from the hose or with insecticidal soap. But here's another
suggestion, one that's a lot more fun; get some tape! Wrap a wide strip of tape around your hand, sticky side out, and pat
the leaves of plants infested with aphids. Concentrate on the undersides of leaves, because that's where the little buggers like
to hide.
10. The next time you boil or steam vegetables, don't pour the water down the drain, use it to water potted patio plants, and
you'll be amazed at how the plants respond to the ""vegetable soup.
11. Use leftover tea and coffee grounds to acidify the soil of acid-loving plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, gardenias and even blueberries. A light sprinkling of about one- quarter of an inch applied once a month will keep the pH
of the soil on the acidic side."
12. Use chamomile tea to control damping-off fungus, which often attacks young seedlings quite suddenly. Just add a spot of tea to the soil around the base of seedlings once a week or use it as a foliar spray.
13. If you need an instant table for tea service, look no farther than your collection of clay pots and saucers. Just flip a
good-sized pot over, and top it off with a large saucer. And when you've had your share of tea, fill the saucer with water,
and your table is now a birdbath.
14. The quickest way in the world to dry herbs: just lay a sheet of newspaper on the seat of your car, arrange the herbs in a
single layer, then roll up the windows and close the doors. Your herbs will be quickly dried to perfection. What's more,
your car will smell great."
End Osteoporosis - Exercise Helps
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to lose density and weaken
as the body ages. If you have osteoporosis, you are more likely to
experience bone fractures. This serious problem leads to more than one
million broken bones each year in the United States! Women are more
likely to develop osteoporosis then men, but men can also fall victim to
this disease.
The good news is that you can reduce your risk of developing
osteoporosis by participating in a regular exercise program. It is never
too late to start making your body stronger. The type of exercise that is
best for preventing osteoporosis is called weight bearing exercises.
Weight bearing exercises include:
• Walking
• Dancing
• Gardening
• Stair Climbing
• Carrying groceries
• Exercises performed with elastic bands
• Lifting dumbbells
In a large flat bowl, place the chopped lettuce and top with a layer of onion, peas, shredded cheese, cauliflower and bacon.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sugar and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle over salad and refrigerate until chilled.

It’s a good idea to talk to a
physical therapist, to learn
how to create a safe and fun exercise program.
They can help you choose exercises you like to do
and then help you stick with it. Not only will you
make your bones stronger, you’ll also lower your

A word of caution: If you have had a fracture in
the past or have been diagnosed with osteoporosis,
you need to be very careful when exercising. Talk
to your doctor or physical therapist to determine
which types of exercise are best for you.
