A6 News wallowa.com THREE minutes with ... Pastor June 14, 2017 productions, plays viola in the Wallowa Valley Orchestra and announces for the Enterprise Outlaws basketball games. The church has its own food bank and does mission outreach –– he’s taken three trips to Chile to help establish a small church. His church also hosts Wallowa Valley Minis- terial Association, a group for all ministers in the county to come and share and pray together. He enjoys hiking and being up in the mountains. Three years ago, he completed the goal of reaching every named lake in Eagle Cap Wilderness. His contact with the county goes back to the ‘60s when he helped build the A-frames at the Boy Scout Camp at the head of the lake. His family vacationed at Wallowa Lake for years and was familiar with the area as campers. Q. Why did you come to Wallowa County? A. We came to Wallowa answering a call to come preach in DAVID BRUCE David Bruce is the pastor of Enterprise Christian Church. He and his wife, Melody, have two daughters, Crystal, a second-grade teacher in Sugar City, Idaho, and Heather, who works at Eide Bailly CPA fi rm in Enterprise. Most of his charitable activities are church-oriented but he also participates when he can in MidValley Theatre the county. I had been in the ministry in Dayton, Wash., for 17-18 years. Enterprise Christian Church is a lot larger than my church in Dayton where I was youth minister, secretary, janitor and pastor. My wife and I came in with new ques- tions and expectations –– and we’ve grown. Now I have staff, and that’s been a new experience. It was also different to come into Wallowa County and experience the Wallowa County mindset and lifestyle, which we love. Q. What has Wallowa County taught you? A. Probably, most of all, the sense of belonging to one another: the idea of community and varied opinions and varied lifestyles all being able to work together in a sense of Wallowa County Chieftain community so that not everybody has to be the same. I was accustomed to that inside the church, it’s good to know that it is a dynamic outside in Wallowa County as well. I haven’t known that in other places that I’ve lived. There is independence and an ability to go ahead without peer pressure to fi t into a certain mould. You’re able to be simply who you are and that’s refreshing. Q. How has Wallowa County surprised you? A. When I fi rst moved here I thought I was moving to Enter- prise. I soon learned I was moving to Wallowa County. When people ask where we live, I don’t say Enterprise ... I say Wallowa County. That’s a real key thing with people here. Probably the largest surprise has been the generosity of people in the county. This is a county that steps up to help others and to be there for others if they feel like there is an honest need. (I’m impressed by) the number of $125 huck- leberry pies at auctions or how people rally to be with one another and to reach out. For those who come into the county and say “gimme, gimme gimme, you owe me, you owe me, you owe me” that turns off the generosity of heart in a hurry. For those living their lives with honesty and integrity, this county has a real heart to reach out and help support that type of a person. I haven’t seen that in a lot of the other communities I’ve been in. I’m accustomed to some people reaching out but not the numbers of people in Wallowa County that continu- ally get involved and want to reach out to others. New 3D mammography unit arrives at the Wallowa Memorial Hospital Contributed photo The latest in mammography has come to Wallowa Memori- al Hospital. A breakthrough in breast imaging technology has arrived at Wallowa Memorial Hospital with a new Genius 3D Mammography system. The system improves accuracy of mammograms by reducing false positives by up to 40 percent. This results in more clearly defi ned cancerous areas, so physi- cians can target treatment options more successfully, according to Wallowa Memo- T HE B OOKLOFT AND Skylight Gallery rial Hospital imaging director Josie Conrad. The 3D system was offi - cially approved by the Food and Drug Administration May 30, giving the fi nal green light to start seeing patients. Conrad, who has been receiving intensive educa- tion and training on the new system along with other tech- nicians, called the Genius 3D Mammography system “the latest and greatest” when it comes to early and accurate detection of breast cancer. “As women, we all know how important early detec- tion is to increase our survival rates and reduce the scope of treatments required, should Church Finding books is our specialty 541.426.3351 • 107 E.

However, there is so much to be gained by monitoring our health so we can address any issues before they become catastrophic.” To schedule a mammog- raphy requires a physi- cian referral, said Conrad, so the next step to take is to schedule an appointment with a primary care physician, who can issue the referral for a 3D mammography exam. with an open door Pastor Archie Hook Sunday Worship 11am Bible Study 9:30am Ark Angels Children’s Program Ages 4-6th grade, 11am Nursery for children 3 & under 301 NE First St. • Enterprise, OR Find us on Facebook! 541.426.3044 Seventh-Day Adventist Church & School OHSU Resident Maggie Wells, MD June 7th - June 28th Hours: Monday-Friday 7:00am to 7:00pm Saturday 9:00am to 1:00pm 603 Medical Parkway Enterprise, OR 97828 Rock The Rodeo Season!
