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.

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. ..... :i :: 9am.1 pm a $fT:i*Onder12 t I Mt.
