Out of tragedy, a push for pool alarms

BUFFALO - The pain over their daughter Lexi's drowning in the family pool is still surface raw, but Michael and Michelle Scalzi are not about to let a summer pass without working to spare other families the same grief.

The couple have made it their mission to equip all backyard pools with potentially lifesaving alarms that sound when a child enters the water unexpectedly.

Their efforts coincide with a new state law requiring pools built since Dec. 14, 2006, to have the technology.
