.....The Jersey County Health Department has reported at least one person has come down with the H1N1 flu. This person was sent to Barns hospital and is recovering.

.....Flu is more dangerous than the common cold for children. Each year, flu places a large burden on the health and well-being of children and families. An influenza vaccination is the best method for preventing flu and its potentially severe complications in children.

.....The CDC recommends that all children aged 6 months up to their 19th birthday get a flu vaccine.

How Germs Spread
.....The main way that illnesses like colds and flu are spread is from person to person in respiratory droplets of coughs and sneezes. This is called "droplet spread."

.....This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person move through the air and are deposited on the mouth or nose of people nearby.

.....Sometimes germs also can be spread when a person touches respiratory droplets from another person on a surface like a desk and then touches his or her own eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands. We know that some viruses and bacteria can live 2 hours or longer on surfaces like cafeteria tables, doorknobs, and desks.

.....SLEEPY HOLLOW, N.Y. – A church made famous by Washington Irving's short story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," has rejected a couple's request to hold a Halloween-themed wedding.

.....Lisa Panensky and Jim Nieves signed a contract 13 months ago to get married on Halloween at the Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.

.....Church officials balked at the couple's plans to wear costumes and include theme music from "The Addams Family" and "The Munsters."

.....The Rev. Jeff Gargano said he only recently learned of the Halloween theme. He offered instead to marry them in the cemetery of the 17th-century church, but the couple declined.

.....The church has offered to refund their deposit. The couple say they may get married at home.
