MORPHEUS, a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, likes to ride along to jobs and keep Mark Chimento company.

Landscaper Mike Stuky and youth rough out the garden design.

DAVID and SUSIE WAKI have donated funds for construction of a Meditation Garden as a memorial to David Waki's parents, William and Taye Waki.

POOCH youths unload walkway bricks donated by Mike Stuky.

Making the garden will also serve as a skill-building project for the POOCH youths. Michael Stuky, a master gardener and local landscaper, has been working with the youths to develop a garden design, and has donated the bricks for building walkways. Taye Waki was a talented watercolorist, and the garden plan will incorporate elements inspired by her artwork.

Mark Chimento, 3CM Stone, (the Chimentos adopted POOCH dog, Morpheus) is providing granite for two garden benches with memorial inscriptions. He will also instruct the youths in the craft of stone-cutting.
