Weird Bailey:
Several years ago Bailey was involved with an innovative plan to produce environmentally safe clay pigeons. Traditional clay pigeons are shooting targets composed of various materials that may be harmful to the environment and leave fragments on the shooting range that can be quite costly to clean up. Bailey was consulted by an independent source to manufacture custom molds and equipment for producing "ice" pigeons. Ice pigeons would provide a cheap, environmentally safe alternative to clay pigeons. Despite setbacks in the original plan years ago, the 'ice pigeon' project may take flight soon.

Bailey Refrigeration 'Got Involved' with the Wildlife Conservation Society through the New York Aquarium just two years ago. The summer of 2000 was a hot one and had heated up the water in the Beluga Whale tank due to a complete lack of water cooling equipment. The tank temperature was so high that it was killing the whales--so Bailey came up with a solution that minimized spending and could be done at emergency speeds. Bailey dedicated hundreds of hours of emergency custom planning and worked overtime to save the whales. The NY Aquarium gave a tour of the aquarium to Ben Bailey and his children after the whales had recovered--the whales where so grateful that they gave them all kisses!

A factoid from the NY Aquarium Website: Did you know Beluga means "white" in Russian? Beluga whales are called the "canaries of the sea."
