CAPTION: The medal of honor was posthumously awarded to Presque Isle County
sheriff Duane Badder by the American Police Hall of Fame of Florida. Presque
Isle County sheriff Mike Peltz presented the medal and a plaque to widow
Barbara Badder. The award states that it was given in "public recognition
of the honor in which we will forever hold his name by placing his name in
the Hall of Fame memorial so that his sacrifice, his dedication to humanity
and justice will always be remembered by generations to come." In other Onaway
news, the Onaway City Commission approved wording of the Onaway Courthouse
Building ballot question that faced city voters. The estimate of the courthouse
restoration was placed at $550,000 and that cost was expected to increase at a
rate of 10 percent a year. Commissioner Charles Abshagen moved that the ballot
question be adopted.
