EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION-COMING TO REDDING?
REDDING LIFESTYLES, SHASTA COUNTY
January 5th, 2009
A little birdie told me local radio is running a spot to find candidates for a home makeover in the Redding area for a future episode of this prime time TV series. Has anyone heard the commercials? Have their producers heard about our local homeless advocate? She might just give them an earful about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to makeover (actually bulldoze and rebuild) a home for only one family. She would likely tell host Ty Pennington to buy several homes, rehab them and provide them gratis to homeless families. Not going to happen, good idea, though!
The ABC show is for entertainment, not charity. A handful of lucky families are the beneficiaries of their efforts, but it was never intended to solve the nation’s housing problems. Try to explain that to those who see their efforts as a major waste of time and money.

Considering Shasta County’s current double-digit unemployment rate, and the apparent suffering of its citizenry, indicated by the county’s ranking second in the state for highest death rate (detailed in a recent R/S article), one local family would seem to be deserving of this TV show’s charity. Who will it be?
