Watched the Discovery Channel Show, Rally 'Round the House ( Yesterday,
5pm-6pm Pacific, June 5, 2004). The couple whose backyard was made over had two toddling infants and wanted a more 'child-friendly' garden, but were apparently clueless, and so were the people who did the show & makeover. I wasn't paying close attention at first, and didn't get the couple's surname, then I saw that the new landscaping was going to be heavy on azaleas, every part of which is deadly poison. I watched the rest of the show carefully, trying to get more information so that I could warn them, but they didn't give the owners' last name. They live in Woodland Hills, California, which is in my local calling zone, but I'm pretty sure my 3 attempts at getting the Woodland Hills F.D. non-emergency # (prob. past hours, anyway, as it was when I tried my city's) were outsourced to INDIA by Comcast (as so much is), and kept getting goofed up. I thought I'd try the 'Net. ...By the end of the show, the kids had been toddling all over the construction site among dangerous rubble, holes, toxic materials & power tools, and the finished yard featured a unguarded & coverless oddly-shaped pool and fire pit, a drowning-friendly water feature, and all sorts of climb-and-go- splat hardscape. If you know these people, please give them a clue about CHILD SAFETY. (Adult safety, too: Doin' things the OSHA-nightmare way!) They sure' didn't get it from the 'experts' at Discovery Channel.DEAR BOARD LEADERS: PLEASE DON"T OBJECT IF I COPY AND REPOST THIS. I JUST WANT THOSE LITTLE ONES TO BE SAFE. PEACE Greenway
