following Hurricane Helene’s destruction in Western North Carolina a Dallas veterinary hospital began working to send pet supplies and other donations to the impacted areas Caitlin Rubow and other staff members at Applewood Animal Hospital collected several loads of supplies according to Applewood employee Renee Beasley people were mostly thinking of the immediate danger posed to families in WNC they started to realize that the people who have lost everything may have been able to save their pets Rubow said she believes that for those who did not lose them holding onto their pets might be giving them a little hope Rubow said herself and other staff at Applewood like many other businesses in Gaston County Rubow started by taking multiple loads of supplies to the Lincolnton airport where they were put on planes for distribution to the heavily impacted areas While searching online for opportunities to connect with other veterinarians in the affected areas Rubow said she came across a post created by a veterinarian in Louisiana who was looking for someone in the Gaston area to take animal supplies and deliver them to WNC While Applewood never limited people to only donating animal supplies Rubow said they began to focus on those donations around the same time so she reached out and offered to take the items she and her parents loaded a truck and trailer with the items and drove them to the Western North Carolina Regional Livestock Center The family waited in line for hours along with others dropping off supplies and some picking up what they needed so many strangers … all came together," she said Applewood staff recently drove their fourth load of supplies directly to a drop-off center in Asheville where they learned that the needs are shifting toward accommodating cold weather Applewood is shifting their focus to include items that will help keep people warm They ask that people donate fencing supplies and other items that can be used to heat homes or keep people warm ahead of colder weather She added that it is hard to contact some of the veterinary clinics in the impacted areas to find out which ones are still able to operate but the clinic is grateful for the community support allowing them to aid in relief efforts “We’re still willing to collect … we’re not going to turn anyone away,” Beasley said The holiday season looked a lot brighter for The Family Tree, as the most recent $5,000 Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric Caring Community Giveaway recipient There with Care and Denver Children’s Foundation were selected by Applewood employees Community votes resulted in the award to The Family Tree There with Care and Denver Children’s Foundation also received $500 each “Each of these organizations is doing wonderful work in our communities to improve the lives of others,” said Josh Ward owner of Applewood Plumbing Heating & Electric “That’s truly the spirit of the holiday season and we’re proud to be a part of those efforts.” The Family Tree’s “Holidays of Hope” program provides gift cards to their clients offering a means to shop and provide for their families with the same grace and dignity as those more fortunate The experience can be transformative for a struggling family “It is really exciting when local businesses chief development officer at The Family Tree “It makes such a difference to have this kind of support for the people who need it most.”  Ham noted that the $5,000 donation will be used to provide community services to address the interconnected issues of child abuse The

ethical business practices You must be logged in to post a comment Caitlin Rubow knew from the time she was a child that she wanted to be a veterinarian I truly was the kid that said always that I was going to be a veterinarian when I grew up," Rubow said She has been working as a veterinarian since graduating from the University of Tennessee's veterinary school in 2019 She purchased Applewood Animal Hospital in Dallas and she is now the proud owner of a clinic in her hometown "Everybody keeps telling me that I'm going to be fine and everything's going to be fine." Returning to Gaston County is a homecoming for Rubow having a large animal vet come out to the house to do things for the horses," she said one of our horses having to have surgery a couple times My mom actually checked me out of school to come home so that I could watch and help with that." Rubow recalls writing in an English paper in seventh grade that she wanted to be a veterinarian spending time shadowing medical providers at a dentist's office Her desire to become a veterinarian did not waver I want to work with animals.' So I said it from day one Rubow graduated from North Gaston High School in 2011 and went on to Lenoir-Rhyne University majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry She went on to veterinary school at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville if I had to do it over I would choose UT all over again because it was such a good experience," she said Rubow graduated from veterinary school and started her career at a clinic in Sparta a little over an hour northeast from Boone because they were so close to the state line I worked there for the whole first year out of vet school," she said and she at times worked 100 hours in a week "There were definitely times where I truly was putting in 100 hours a week between working and then being on call and working all night," she said large animal emergencies and small animal emergencies she says she is grateful for the time she spent there and they put me on call a whole weekend by myself here I'm a terrified new grad on call by myself with one assistant to see emergencies," she said "So I got a lot of experience and learned a lot of things very quickly." Rubow began working at Archdale Animal Clinic It is truly probably one of the best hospitals I've ever worked in the whole culture of the hospital," Rubow said When Applewood Animal Hospital was listed for sale She wasn't sure she was ready to own her own veterinary practice "I actually knew about Applewood being for sale for quite some time So I knew about it well before I ever left Archdale I just kept telling my family and myself and everybody here that there's no way I could buy that hospital am I supposed to leave this job in Archdale where I love the people and I truly am happy She was visiting her parents when she decided to drop by Applewood with her mother She had grown up taking family pets to the clinic He asked her if she had thought about buying an animal hospital I just don't know if I can do it.' And he said "I don't think corporate would necessarily be the best and then that's when panic kind of set in." "And I guess the good Lord told me that this is what I'm supposed to do talking to lawyers when she wasn't available and helping her jump through the legal hoops necessary to complete the sale "Both my mom and dad have just gone above and beyond to help me in any way possible looking at these applications and answering questions to making phone calls," she said "Because … I've been trying to work throughout this whole process so I haven't always been available to just … be able to sit at my email or pick up the phone and make these phone calls if it weren't for this opportunity to move back to my hometown "I would keep driving back and forth when I could because I was truly otherwise happy at Archdale But I do feel like this is the next step in my career." She hopes to eventually expand the practice at Applewood but my goal would be to be able to grow the practice and to eventually hire another associate having to … physically expand on the practice itself," she said The staff at Applewood will otherwise stay the same and Dutterer gave her a job in the weeks before she closes on the practice introducing her to the people and pets that the clinic serves … Am I really about to buy at that hospital?" she said She said her ultimate intention is to keep the doors open at Applewood which has served the Dallas community since the late 1980s I did not go into this profession for the money and I did not move back home to buy this practice to become rich," she said "I truly wanted to come back home and be able to keep the doors open at Applewood to continue to provide care … for the people in the community."

squash and maitake are plated for service at Cyrus in Geyserville Ubuntu restaurant in Napa closed in 2012 despite critical acclaim it’s long been known that winning a Michelin star — once considered the ultimate accolade — can also be the kiss of death for a restaurant and the poaching of workers and suppliers hiking up costs are the dark side of the prestigious spotlight A recently released study by University College London (UCL) has borne out the assumption after tracking the success or failure of hundreds of highly rated New York City restaurants between 2000 and 2019 It found that 40% of the restaurants had closed by 2019 while only one out of every five highly rated but non-Michelin restaurants had closed over the same time period “While restaurateurs frequently reflected on a feeling of achievement after receiving a Michelin star and highlighted that this led to a heightened focus on their restaurant the consequences of Michelin stars were not all necessarily favorable,” said author Daniel B Public notice of the 124-year-old French arbiter of outstanding cooking remains highly coveted in the restaurant world nearly a dozen Michelin-starred Wine Country restaurants have closed or significantly changed their format since receiving the award The former K&L Bistro in Sebastopol and Mirepoix in Windsor both struggled to meet customers’ exacting demands after receiving Michelin stars Mirepoix closed just a year after winning a Michelin star in 2012 After receiving its first Michelin star in 2021, Barndiva abandoned its complex, multicourse menu in early 2024, replacing it with a more casual, community-minded focus Michelin two-star winner Cyrus closed in Healdsburg in 2012 following a lease dispute restaurateurs “at risk” of receiving a Michelin star should plan for the inevitable disruptions “Not all the effects of Michelin stars are bad,” author Sands said “Some (restaurants) perform fine and are successful post-Michelin star sometimes these stressors are too much for a restaurant to withstand.” You can reach Dining Editor Heather Irwin at heather.irwin@pressdemocrat.com.
