Dylan passed away suddenly in a tragic acci- dent on October 19, 2019. Dylan was raised in Wallowa County where he attended school and graduated from Enterprise High School in May of 2014. Dylan loved to spend his free time working and helping out on the Wentz Ranch. Dylan was active in 4-H, FFA, Cub Scouts, and playing foot- ball. Once Dylan grad- uated from high school he worked for Foss Mar- itime, in Seattle, for a short period of time before returning to Ione to work at Krebbs Sheep Company. He worked for Krebbs Sheep Com- pany for a short time and eventually started work- ing at Farm Supply Dis- tributors in Enterprise, Oregon where he was a diesel mechanic and jack of all trades. It is at Farm Supply Distributors that he met the love of his life, Tiffany Smith. Dylan enjoyed ranch- ing and riding his horse, Ol’Bay and working his cows that he named Dilbertha and Dibblet. Dylan was a dedicated family man who put oth- ers before himself. Dylan worked hard and did whatever it took to pro- vide for himself, Tif- fany, and James. Dylan enjoyed the Friday night family din- ners usually at Embers Brew House & Pub unwinding and spending time with fam- ily and shar- ing a few good laughs. Dylan is survived by his mother Teresa (Kressly) & Kelly Fisher, and father Robert & Heidi Denton. Maternal grand- mother Georgia Kressly and paternal grandpar- ents Bob Denton and Donna & Derv Forten- berry.

In lieu of flowers, the Den- ton and Fisher families ask for donations to go to Triston Denning to help with medical bills and the recovery he will need. An account has been set up through Community Bank. Just let them know it is for Triston. This is what Dylan would have wanted, being the self- less man he was. Ivy Lucille Lichens (Sutherland), 90, passed away peacefully on the evening of October 15, 2019, in Enter- prise, Oregon, surrounded by loved ones. Ivy was born in Terry, Montana, on July 10, 1929, to par- ents Maurice Ran- dolph Sutherland and Lois Marie Sutherland (Benni- dict). She was one of six children.

She enjoyed painting, golf- ing, traveling, shopping, and spending time with her fam- ily. Ivy also had a heart for animals, especially her dogs Timmy and Chuckles. During her time at Wallowa Valley Senior Living, she enjoyed spending time with friends, going for walks around the prop- erty, watching the horses, feeding the birds, and enjoy- ing the mountain views.

A doctor’s note Only 48% of school age children in the United States get 9 hours of sleep most weeknights, accord- ing to new research being presented at the Ameri- can Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2019 National Con- ference & Exhibition in New Orleans. Those who do, the study suggests, are signifi cantly more likely to show a positive outlook toward school and other signs of “childhood fl our- ishing,” a measure of behav- ioral and social well-being. “Chronic sleep loss is a serious public health prob- lem among children,” said Hoi See Tsao, MD, FAAP. “Insuffi cient sleep among adolescent, for example, is associated with physical and mental health conse- quences including increased risk of depression and obe- sity and negative effects on mood, attention and aca- demic performance.” Researchers analyzed responses from parents and caregivers of 49,050 chil- dren ranging in age from SEE THE EXPANDED ONLINE CALENDAR AT EASTERNOREGONEVENTS.COM releasing you to participate in Zumba Gold is required.

The researchers found that suffi cient sleep, reported in only 47.6% of the 6 to 17-year-old chil- dren, was positively associ- ated with interest and curi- osity in learning new things; caring about doing well in school; fi nishing tasks, and staying calm when faced with a challenge. The researchers also identifi ed risk factors associated with insuffi - cient sleep that included increased duration of digi- tal media usage, increased number of adverse child- hood experiences and the presence of mental health conditions. Dr. Tsao said the study reinforces the importance of increasing efforts to help children get the recom- mended amount of sleep for their age. She said efforts should especially focus on digital media usage, bed- time routines, the length of the school day and school start times.
