Pet of the Week: Midnight is a peace dog and an icon for Nickelsville
The couple of Michael Keever and Kim Kowalski are residents of the homeless encampmentNickelsville and they love their dog. His name is Midnight and Keever describes him as, "mixed breed Black Lab, Terrier, Airedale, Irish Wolfhound, German Shepherd. A lot of different types."
"He was bred by some hippy kids in the U-District," said Michael, "almost twelve years ago and I got him as a puppy." Midnight came from a litter of 10 and Michael was told this dog was the standout as far as intelligence. "As soon as they laid down the training paper and pointed to it one time, he was the one who got it instantly."
Midnight's intelligence shows in his relationships too. "He wants permission before he does anything," which means he is purple collar dog. Keever explained this means a dog that, "absolutely will not nip or bite under any situation. He's safe with geriatric patients or children. Purple is the safest one."

Volunteers really made the Presto Garden happen for the White Center Food Bank. The event, sponsored by Sustainable West Seattle transformed a plot at Westcrest P-Patch into a source of food in a single day.
Sustainable West Seattle makes a Presto Garden in a day to benefit the White Center Food Bank
Community means cooperation and that's what was in evidence May 18 as Sustainable West Seattle and some willing volunteers came together at Westcrest Park to create what they called a Presto Garden.
With donations of perennial vegetables from Village Green Nursery, compost – provided by Alki Bike and Board, Vegetable starts – from West Seattle Nursery and Seeds – provided by the Community Orchard of West Seattle the effort was to transform, in a single day a patch of weeds into a food producing garden.
The food produced by the garden will all go to the White Center Food Bank.
Getting a garden going is about more than just tilling the soil and waiting for the harvest so part of what the organizers wanted to include was an educational component. Learning how to garden naturally by tilling weeds back into the soil.
The method they utilized was a layering style that included the existing weed cover, some mulch and some topsoil. Soon enough, their efforts will pay off with a lot more fresh food for those who need it most.
