And remember, if you or your child is sick, stay home to help protect others.” More than three quarters of the positive influenza specimens confirmed by the MDHHS Bureau of Laboratories this flu season have been an H3N2 virus, which can cause severe flu infections in children, as well as in young- and middle-aged adults. The flu vaccine is still considered the best way to prevent getting the flu and can also reduce the severity of flu illness. Health officials say the vaccine is especially important for persons at increased risk for complications from flu, including children, adults aged 65 years and older, persons of any age with underlying medical conditions, and pregnant women. Children under the age of six months are too young to be vaccinated and need to be protected by vaccination of their close contacts, including parents, siblings, grandparents, child care workers and healthcare personnel. During the 2016-2017 flu season, only 44.2 percent of Michigan res - idents were vaccinated against flu, ranking Michigan in 33rd in the country. There is still plenty of flu vaccine available. To find flu vaccine near you, call your healthcare provider, local health department, or check the Health Map Vaccine Finder at Flushot.healthmap.org.

by Mary Drier Special for the Chronicle

There is a new mobile application available to help those who partic - ipate in the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. “Between the Huron County and the Tuscola County health depart - ments, we provide services to 2,500 WIC families every year,” said Ann Hepfer, who serves as health officer for both Thumb health departments. “The WIC program is for pregnant women and children up to age five.” The free Michigan WIC Connect application offers existing clients the ability to view their benefits, available food benefits, location of nearby participating grocery stores, and upcoming WIC appointments on their mobile device.

The program not only helps with nutrition for mothers and children, but also has a positive impact on the local economy. “Over $1 million dollars goes back into our local economy when they purchase their WIC benefits,” Hepfer explained. “As an added bonus, they get coupons in the summer to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from farm markets. “We also provide breastfeeding food packages tailored to the mom and infant’s needs. We offer breastfeeding support services that are pro - vided by certified breastfeeding staff,” she added.

WIC is a federally-funded program that provides nutritious food, nu - trition education, promotes breastfeeding support as well as referrals to health agencies and other programs for eligible women, infants and chil - dren.

“WIC has made so many advances in the past few years by offering more varieties,” Hepfer said. “The program has breads and buns such as whole wheat, whole grains, whole wheat and white pasta that come in name brands such as Barilla and Delallo, Spartan and Kroger; tor - tillas; cold and hot cereals; infant formula (and) infant fruits; and veg - etables, eggs, cheese, yogurts, low fat milks, soy beverages, peanut butter, and 100 percent fruit juices.” According to Hepfer, WIC program income guidelines “are very gra - cious,” and children enrolled in the program receive lead testing, he - moglobin testing and immunizations as part of their WIC visit.

THE CASS CITY Rotary Club had a representative on hand in Pasadena, Calif., for this year’s Rose Bowl Parade. Debra Kranz, pictured at far right with husband Jim, explained an email was passed on to her from the Rotary International Float Com - mittee with information about sponsoring and working on the float. “I investigated and said, this is for me,” recalled Kranz, who serves as president of the local Rotary Club. “Jim just went along as a good sport, but was soon gluing blueberries on the Rotary sign right along with me. It had been on my bucket list to see the parade live, but having the opportunity to actually work on a float was a big bonus.” Also known as the Tournament of Roses Parade, the event was started in 1890 and is held in Pasadena each year on New Year’s Day. This year’s 129th annual event featured 44 floats, 20 equestrian units with roughly 400 horses, and 21 marching bands. The theme was “Making a Difference” and the Grand Marshal was actor and humani - tarian Gary Sinise.

Owendale: Let faucets drip OWENDALE — Owendale Village officials want residents to allow a cold water faucet to drip in their homes due to the cold weather.
