MONTOURSVILLE — For the first time in three decades, John Dorin’s name will not be on the ballot in the race for Montoursville mayor.

Dorin is running for reelection however, after saying earlier this year he would retire.

Dorin announced in February he would not seek reelection after serving as Montoursville’s mayor since 1982.

Republican Kim Dirocco was the only one on the ballot.  Then, in the last couple weeks, signs started popping up asking voters to reelect John Dorin, meaning the mayor was back in the race, this time, as a write in candidate.

Dorin, who planned to retire, is running for a ninth term. Dorin says a group of concerned residents coaxed him into running a write in campaign.

“My name won’t be on the ballot. I’m going on my 35 years as mayor and hopefully people will support that,” Dorin said.

68 gold medals on the line in the District 4 AA/AAA track and field championships and the Williamsport boy’s AAA 3200 meter relay team seized gold first. Herb Stelly anchoring an amazing run. The Millionaires finishing in 7:55.42 seconds.

“Our coach told us we’re going to taper at the right time, so we just try to work hard at practice and our two juniors pushed us every practice me and Brandon and we just came out here and did what we had to do,” said Herb Stelly.

Going into this district meet everybody wondering if Ellen Shepard from Central Columbia could make it three in a row in the girl’s AA 100 meter dash and if she could also break that district record.

Shepard out clean. Gets the motor going and crosses the finish first in 12.16 seconds-just off record time.
