\nIn the Tyrone Area School District race, the top vote getter in Snyder Township\u2019s two districts was Norman Huff who garnered 498 votes, followed by Peter Dutrow, Raymond Detwiler, Luther Laird and Lee R. Stover. Those same five won election district wide and thus will hold positions on the school board when it is reorganized in December.
\nThe order of finish district-wide, vote totals were as follows: Huff, 1,587 votes then Dutrow; 1,473 votes followed by Laird with 1,358 votes. Lee Stover had 1,253 votes and the fifth and final spot went to Raymond Detwiler with 1,225 votes. Detwiler received more 237 votes more than the sixth place finisher Becky Emenhiser.
\n\u201cI\u2019m pleased, happy and overjoyed with the results\u201d, said Raymond Detwiler when he stopped by the Daily Herald offices to comment of the outcome of the school district race.
\nIt was Detwiler\u2019s third try and he said: \u201cI didn\u2019t go into this with any negativity, I was alarmed with the performance of my children in the school system and even in college.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a need for a change, I\u2019m not an individual that knows everything about a problem, but I\u2019m willing to work with others.\u201d
\nDetwiler went on to thank those who voted for him and indicated he\u2019d be willing to work with all those concerned about the well being of the Tyrone Area School District.
\nThe Snyder Township votes in the county commissioners race mirrored results from neighboring Tyrone. Barry Wright was the county\u2019s top vote getter, but in Snyder Township he finished second to John H. Eichelberger, Jr. Democrat Donna Gority finished third in both Snyder Township and county-wide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
