The apple didn’t fall far from the tree in that regard. Hai- lie was born for customer service and business. She recalls a favorite playtime activity was “playing office.” She got her start really early, entering wilderness permits into a data base for the USFS when she was 15 and later working the front desk at the Enterprise Forest Service Vis- itor’s Center. After obtaining her degree, Hailie continued working for the Forest Service until the visitor’s center burned in 2010. She then became a recreation tech on the Wallowa Whitman National Forest, cleaning and maintaining trailheads. She recalls that stint with satisfaction. It was a good job for a strong young woman. She put in 10-hour days and cleaned up a lot of garbage and “had a lot of fun,” she said. She met her husband, Jared Hillock of Enterprise Electric, through mutual friends in 2014 and now enjoys co-parenting his daughter Ella, 8. Hailie still works for the Forest Service as a seasonal office clerk, but her business interests have definitely expanded. She had been working for Bennett Insurance in Enterprise for four years when Kathleen Bennett decided to retire and offered Hailie and Jared the opportunity to buy the business last May. As business people, Hailie and Jared are big donors to nearly every fundraising event that comes around. They par- ticularly enjoy working to support the events of the North- east Oregon Aviation Foundation, helping with the fly-in each year and building backcountry airstrips. They also enjoyed being part of the building of the Joseph Playground and maintaining the electrical system at Fergu- son Ski Ridge. Hailie has always enjoyed Rotary though she is no longer a member. ties for theft by receiving. He was transported to Umatilla County Jail.

T HE B OOKLOFT January 31, 2018 ♦ ♦ ♦ Q. What keeps you in Wallowa County? A. I was born and raised in Wallowa County and my fam- ily is here; my roots are here. I love the mountains. I love the people. I have a heart for everyone in our community. People are so kind and so giving and always stepping up to the plate when someone is in need. They care about the upkeep of our community. Q. What has Wallowa County taught you? A. Wallowa County teaches leadership, responsibility and working hard to make a living. Often people can strug- gle in a small community, and it takes real effort to live the life you want. That work ethic was in my blood. My grandpa really nailed that into me — Grandpa Dan Gover (Winner of the Chamber of Commerce Citizen Award in Agriculture last Sunday) retired as a farmer and now he’s a logger at 80. Q. Can you recall the first book you checked out of the library for yourself, and can you recommend a book you’ve read recently? A. You start checking books out in kindergarten. The first book I can recall is “Little House on the Prairie.” I was probably 10. The book I recommend is “The Whole 30: The 30-Day Guide to Total Health and Food Freedom” by Melissa Hartwig. I’ve done the Whole 30 (eating plan) several times and traveled to meet Melissa Hartwig. The Whole 30 life- style is an eye-opener and teaches you how to live an active lifestyle.

Nearly 62 percent of vot- ers approved keeping certain taxes on health insurance pre- miums, hospitals and managed care organizations, and about 38 percent voted to overturn them, according to unofficial preliminary results provided by the Oregon Secretary of State. The result lifts significant financial pressure off state lawmakers as they prepare to enter the short legislative ses- sion that begins Feb. 5. Voters in Wallowa County split nearly evenly with 50.87 percent voting “no” and 49.13 percent voting “yes.” Of the county’s 5,369 eligible vot- ers, 2,589 voted, a turnout of 48 percent. The ballot measure was far less popular in Union and Baker counties. Union voters cast 7,144 ballots and defeated the measure 57-43 percent. Turnout was 41 percent. Baker County voters also voted a resounding “no,” 64-36 percent. Turnout was 43 percent. Measure 101 was most popular in Benton and Hood River counties where roughly 70 percent of voters cast bal- lots in favor. The measure was least popular in Sherman AND Wallowa United Methodist Church Finding books is our specialty 102 West 1st Street, P.O. Box 53 Wallowa, Or 97885 Skylight Gallery 541.426.3351 • 107 E.

Rejection of the package would have meant a $210 mil- lion to $320 million loss in state revenues, plus additional matching funds from the fed- eral government, that were anticipated to help the state pay for Medicaid. About 960,000 Oregonians are on Medicaid, which here is called the Oregon Health Plan. The campaign pitted public unions and health care groups against two Republican law- makers who led the campaign after petitioning to get certain parts of the 2017 legislation on the ballot this fall.
