Public involvement needed in Community Health In response to changing priorities in some state social and health service funding programs and emerging opportunities associated with Health Care Reform, Mason County is devel- oping a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). Those that are interested in learning more about this proj- ect and wish to join the virtual CHIP team, should contact Kim/flint at/ml W,m =0n,vt,tm, By R. JEANNE REHWALDT /. We have received several calls at the Master Gardener clinic regarding the health of Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) trees around the county. Clients are wondering why they all appear to be dying. If you take a trip up Highway 3 north from Shelton toward Allyn, you will notice most of the Madrone trees seem to be affected. Jenny Glass, Plant Diagnostician at WSU Research and Extension Center in Puyallup, has released a statement about what is happening to Madrone trees all over the area. The damage being observed is known as leaf spot. She notes that the problem is present in other counties and states too. They have badly damaged Madrones at WSU Puyallup, Ms. Glass has seen damaged plants in Seattle and Whidbey Island, and heard reports from Oregon and the San Juan Islands. She states that this is a common problem over the past year. Alas, nothing practical can be done for the trees. Go to: http://plant-disease.ippc.orst.edu/ ShowDisease.aspx?RecordID=704 for general recommendations for leaf spot on Madrone. Dr. Mariaime Elliott, at WSU Puyallup, has determined a cold temperature pathogen Phacidiopycnis washingtonensis (also a crabapple canker pathogen and a stored apple rot) is responsible for much of the damaged leaves.
