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.

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,

The 3D system was offi -

to start seeing patients.
Conrad, who has been
receiving intensive educa-

system along with other tech-

Mammography system “the
latest and greatest” when it
comes to early and accurate

In 2013, the most recent
year that fi gures are avail-

2,109 men were diagnosed
with breast cancer. In any
given year, about 41,000
women and 440 men will die
from breast cancer. There are
currently about 2.8 million

the United States, and many

at Stage 1 or Stage 2, when
it is highly treatable and
survivor rates are high.
“It’s easy to procrastinate
getting those recommended
screenings,” said Conrad,
“especially because most of
us are busy and don’t want to
think about it. 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.
