Shelton diabetes support online
Self-management of diabetes has helped
many people lead a normal, healthy life and
with the aid of Mason General Hospital's
new online technology, it just got easier.
Take Charge of Your Health - Online will
be the topic covered at MGH's next Shelton
Diabetes Support Group meeting set from
1 to 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, in the E1-
linor Room at the Hospital.
MGH Director of Information Technol-
ogy, Tom Homburg and Gary Deimert will
introduce MyMasonHealth.com, a new, on-
line service that stores health information
in Microsoft HealthVault. Microsoft Health-
Vault, via MyMasonI-halth.com, allows one,
easy-to-use location for access to health in-
formation such as medical and surgical his-
tories, doctor's visits and prescriptions, to
name a few.
"Tom and Gary will go over the many fea-
tures of this valuable service, and demon-
strate how to organize, manage and share
secured, private health information with
doctors and others," said Sue Barwick, R.N.,
C.D.E., coordinator of the support group.

wants online access to their medical infor-
mation, 24/7, from anywhere in the world.

filiated with the American Diabetes Asso-
ciation, meets at the Hospital every third

Knotweed, how to get rid of it
Knotweed is one of the toughest, nasti-
est weeds around and one of the hardest to
get rid of. It is particularly invasive on riv-
er and stream banks, where it crowds out
native plants, destroys fish and wildlife
habitat and interferes with recreation. It
c~n grow through asphalt and can damage
septic drain fields and other structures.
It's a bamboo-like plant, with sprays of
white flowers in the late summer and ear-
ly fall. Originally brought to this country
as an ornamental, it long ago escaped from
cultivation and has spread rampantly. It
grows 10 to 12 feet tall by late summer,
but dies back completely in winter, leaving
"dead zones" that offer no food or shelter
for native birds, small mammals or other
wildlife.
It has an amazingly tough root system
that can extend seven feet deep and up
to 23 feet horizontally. Small fragments
of root or stem can give rise to whole new
plants. All this makes knotweed almost
impossible to get rid of without using her-
bicide. Herbicide applications near water
require a specially licensed applicator,
with a special permit.
Because knotweed infestations on wa-
terways were so bad, the State of Wash-
ington began funding knotweed control
projects in 2004. This funding has enabled
crews in many parts of the state to control
knotweed on many waterways and the in-
festations have been reduced. In Mason
County, funding from other sources has
enabled crews to begin control activities.
However, this funding will not last forever.
We now need landowners to get involved,
to watch out for small plants that could
re-infest, and to control them. The Ma-
son County Noxious Weed Control Board,
in partnership with the Clallam County
Noxious Weed Control program, is offer-
ing a free workshop designed to help land-
owners learn how knotweed grows and
spreads, what methods they can use to get
rid of it, and how you can borrow tools and
get herbicide to combat this noxious weed.
The workshop will be held at 4 to 6 p.m.
in Shelton on May 19, at the Mason Coun-
ty Public Works facility at i00 W. Public
Works Drive, Shelton, WA 98584.
Please call 427-9670 ext. 592 for more in-
formation, advanced registration required.
