Lifestyle change helps local woman lose over 100 pounds
For most people, weight loss is challenging, and requires a complete change in behaviors and habits often developed in childhood.
Katy Kuns of Butler Township has struggled with maintaining a normal weight since she was very young. She remembers fighting weight gain as a teenager in the 1980s and continued to put on weight throughout college.
“I got married in 1993 and I was 270 pounds,” Kuns said. “I can say now that I overate but didn’t understand why.”

Trevor Andrews couldn’t have picked a better April day for his first spring game as head coach of the Dayton Flyers football team. Clear skies and comfortable temperatures greeted him at the Jerry Von Mohr Practice Facility across the street from UD Arena as he took the next step toward his first season at UD since he was a player in the 1990s.
“It was great to get out here finally,” Andrews said, “and the weather cooperated with us a little bit. It’s been been pretty windy, and we’ve had a ton of rain. It was great to get out and throw the ball around a little bit more than we have been able to this spring. Guys ran around and did a nice job. There were some good things on both sides of the ball and then some things we’ll identify off the film that we’ve got to work on and get better at.”
Dante Casciola was the first quarterback to get the ball, and Cole Dow followed. Both quarterbacks saw action in the first half. Casciola started the first five games last season before suffering a season-ending broken thumb. Dow saw limited action in four games.
Historical Society of Germantown celebrates 50th year
Julia Smith, vice president of the Historical Society of Germantown, is busy with society members and volunteers planning its 50th anniversary.
Smith’s family lived in Germantown when she was born, and although they moved around a bit, she’s been a permanent fixture in the city she calls her “hometown” since 1975.
“I graduated from Germantown High School and it’s my home,” she says.
The historical society was formed in 1973, in an historic building that was formerly an Andrew Carnegie library, and Smith became a volunteer about five years later. “I started out as a docent, with an idea to get students informed about their city’s history,” she said.
