Ashley Kidwell

Our “Resident of the Month” for August

is Kayleen George or Kay for short! Kay has

been a resident at BCMCF for a little over

two years. She has three sons, three

daughters and many grandkids. Kay worked

as a waitress when she was younger. She

loves to be warm and can be seen rolling by

with a warm blanket around her shoulders.

Even though Kay is a keep to herself person

and a bit of a recluse in her earlier life, she

has made many friends at BCMCF and our

staff just loves her. Congratulations Kay!

Our employee of the month for August is Ashley Kidwell. Ashley, an RN Supervisor,

has been employed with BCMCF since February 8, 2008. She has a warm,

contagious smile, an easy going personality and she is very comforting to her residents.

Ashley is always willing to help and goes above and beyond to make everything great for her residents, as well as her co-workers. She is a very loyal and dedicated to BCMCF

and it definitely does not go unnoticed. Thank you for all you do!

Congratulations to YOU Ashley!

Sharks are Disappearing!

Global reports reveal an alarming drop in the

worldwide shark population. Sharks are

disappearing from numerous locations around

the world. Scientists drop baited cages down

into the ocean in many different spots to see

how many sharks show up. Sadly out of almost

400 reefs, 20% of them had no sharks appear.

This could be due to fisherman catching them

for shark meat but scientists are simply not

sure. There are some sharks around but there

are not enough of them to eat the marine

population. Sharks need to eat other species in

the ocean so that they do not over populate.

They are now thought to be “functionally going

extinct”. In the end, healthy shark populations

make for healthy reefs. Hopefully the world is

listening and people and our government will

step in and help to get our shark population

into a better spot.

WE HAVE A WHALE

OF A GOOD TIME HERE!

Dawn Gould - “The Ocean is my favorite place to be! The coolest

place I have ever been is a fishing village in Jamaica. There were all

sorts of sea creatures and the coolest one was a sea star which is just

like a star fish but only has four points instead of five.”

Katie Roper - “ When I was in Grand Caymen, I went out into the

middle of the ocean to swim with stingrays. The stingrays were

wild and come to the sandbar every day to feed on the remains

of fish that fisherman would dump into the water. It was a very

cool experience.

Pam O’Hare - “ I swam with dolphins, stingrays & tropical fish in

Florida’s Discovery Cove. It was an awesome experience! I also

enjoy spending time at the ocean with my family.”

Congratulations to “Sky” our BCMCF highlighted August

Pet of the Month! She was named after the Beatles song

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. She is a two and a half

year old Red Merle Australian Shepard. She lives with

her mom, Bonnie Thomas, who is a Housekeeper here at

BCMCF. They live in the country where they have lots of

room to play with big sister Rigby. Her favorite things to

do are go for truck rides, play ball and eat treats. Her

favorite treats are fresh veggies and fruit but she loves

Munger potatoes and popcorn most of all. If her mom

brings popcorn home from BCMCF she can smell it as

soon as she steps in the house. She may try and hide the

popcorn, but Sky can sniff out the delicious popcorn. Sky

is so glad that her mom chose her because she is really

loved and has the best doggy life.
