Stop Signs Approved At Germantown Intersection
Germantown council voted unanimously to add a stop sign at the five point intersection of Farmersville Pike Plum Street and Warren Road citing heavy traffic and school crossing use Mayor Ross Brewer said the measure improves safety. The council also approved a ban on parking on both sides of E Market Street between the Twin Creek bridge and Rt 4 to ease traffic flow. Parking on the south side reduces roadway width and parking on the north side forces vehicles onto the sidewalk. They discussed passing the upcoming tax levies and bond issue urging promotion of the fire truck bond and street repair levy. The group noted past street repairs relied on meter gas and auto tag transfers. Approval was also given for the annual fire department Halloween parade on Oct 31.

Faster Relief Healing Best For Minor Burns
Cold water is winning medical support as the best treatment for minor burns. Doctors cite quicker pain relief and faster healing, with early cold water or ice packs within minutes to an hour after injury. Experts note evidence from animal studies and reports from Icelandic and U.S. colleagues, but human results for extensive burns remain uncertain.
