Business Profile: Meadowridge Veterinary Hospital Print Recommend This Article to a Friend
by Dan Veaner   
Friday, 04 May 2007
Meadowridge Veterinary HospitalAfter 23 years as a mainstay of North Lansing, The Boarding Barn and Meadowridge Veterinary Hospital has been under new management for the past three months.  New owner Linda Garrett, a veterinarian and Ithaca native, says that even with the new management very little will change.  "I think it's a really nice hospital," she says.  "I like the way things are done.  I'm just starting to make some gradual changes.  But as far as main things everybody does a really good job and I like the way they interact with clients and pets and all the rest of it, so we've more slid me in then changed anything else."

Garrett heard the business was for sale through Sharon Garland, a friend who had been working at Meadowridge and knew the former owners were looking for a buyer.  Garrett was working at Lakewood Animal Hospital in Horseheads, but had been thinking of owning her own animal hospital.  "I did a lot of management," she says.  "Well not so much management there as being involved with it, doing planning, that kind of deal.  So I got to really see how a lot of things are run and getting into more of the business side of it and seeing how things went and decided I wanted to do it myself."

To achieve your financial goals, you need to be a diligent saver and investor. But you need to do more than just build your assets - you also must do a good job of managing your debts. If you let your debts get out of control, they will eventually erode your savings and investments - and when that happens, the road to financial success can get pretty bumpy.

Unfortunately, your fellow Americans are doing a poor job of saving money and staying out of debt. Here are some telling statistics:

Olivia Now Serves Local Print Recommend This Article to a Friend

Friday, 27 April 2007
(Ithaca, NY) - Olivia Restaurant, located in Ezra Cornell's historic Train Station in East Hill, now serves only local, organic, free range chicken and turkey.

Olivia is a regional leader in the local foods movement, using local produce and ingredients whenever feasible, and featuring organic, grass-fed, dry aged beef. Olivia has now has found two more great local farms- Grassland Farms of Ovid for free range, organic chicken and Finger Lakes Farms of Trumansburg for free range, organic turkey. "Our chicken and turkey is not just free range, but its fully pasture raised- meaning the animals are truly free range- typically most "free range" animals only see a few minutes of freedom in their otherwise caged existence. This creates amazing flavor, the chicken actually tastes like chicken. It's well worth it, much more humane, and best of all, you can taste the difference!", exclaims Gregory Silverman, co-owner/ head chef.
