concerned about the will of
the people, it’s certainly the
will of the people to keep
the dams in place.”
Miller believes the
survey results show res-
idents understand the
energy challenges ahead,
citing 100% clean energy
objectives, initiatives for
electric cars and other
forms of transportation
and the loss of fossil-fuel
resources such as coal and
natural gas generation
plants.
“I think what people see
there is that resources that
are carbon-free and can
produce electricity 24-7 are
going to be really important
in the region’s future,” he
said. “I think people can do
the math.”
Eﬀ orts to breach the
dams, especially Inslee’s
and Murray’s proposed ini-
tiative, represent a “sig-

that are hard to handle,”
she said. “I feel like I’m
good with those. Cats and
dogs are what I prefer to
work with, but I’ll do all of
them.”
Coming to a ranching
community like Wallowa
County, she knows she’ll
be called upon to help cows
give birth.
“I haven’t worked yet
during calving season,”
she said. “That’ll be in the
spring.”
But she has already
experienced middle-of-the-
night emergencies.
“The ﬁ rst week I was
on call, I got called in the
middle of the night three
days in a row,” she said.
“That was unusual for me;
that never happened in
Baker.”
One of the cases was a
male cat having trouble uri-
nating. Another was a dog

either in-person or online,
depending on the preference
of those who sign up.
The Baker City classes

Thursday evenings starting

Miller said.
“A lot of the arguments
that are made in favor of
breaching the lower Snake
River dams are often not
based on complete infor-
mation, or even (based on)
inaccurate information,” he
said. “Our concern is that
those same questionable
arguments will be applied
to other dams if these dams
go.”

Dawson has taught Busi-
ness Foundations for more
than 10 years in Baker,
Union and Wallowa coun-
ties. The hands-on classes
cover the basics of running
a successful business: over-
head and inventory costs,
goal-setting and sales pro-
jections, marketing, taxes
and licensing, and other
considerations, and brings
it all together in a business
plan.
Topics include:
• Gaining perspective:
Consider your business
concept.
• Laying the foundation:
Deﬁ ne line of business and
analyze ﬁ nancial essen-
tials, from overhead costs to
break-even point.
• Getting into the ﬂ ow:
Cover the ﬁ nancial essen-
tials of cash ﬂ ow, sales
forecasting, and ﬁ nancial
documents.
• Mission and markets:
Mission, discuss market
research, identify competi-
tors, determine how to reach
target markets.
• Get the word out: Dis-
cuss creative marketing
strategies and give peer
feedback on marketing
materials.
• Goodbye and good
luck: Present your business
plan, share ﬁ nal pitch, and
plan for next steps.

Possibly the most dif-

things I was kind of proud
of was we had a guinea pig
come in that wasn’t doing
very well and I had to put
a catheter in it, which was
tough because the veins are
really tiny,” she said. “That
was hard. We sent it home

Home life
Younggren said she’s
content working at the
animal hospital and has no
plans to set up a practice of
her own.
“No, I might consider
buying into a practice, but
I don’t want to run one by
myself,” she said. “I don’t
want to be the boss of
everybody and I want to be
able to step away from work
and have a nice home life.”
She and Murray married
in October and he drives a
propane truck for Ed Staub
& Sons. She said they don’t
plan on having kids and
they’ll make Enterprise
their permanent home —
just with their animals.
“We love it here. My
husband’s a big ﬂ y-ﬁ sh-
erman and I’m really into
hiking and backpacking,”
she said. “We were up
here a lot anyway (before
moving). We both really
like it.”
