1979 - Bob Schell Is Newly Elected Presque Isle County Board of Commissioners Chairman...and...Police Chief Jim Badgero Warns Sledders Not to Use Oak Street Hill From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook January 17, 2019

  
CAPTION:  Cecil Hodgetts returned for a special visit to the Presque Isle County
Board of Road Commissioners to present the gavel to newly-elected board chairman
Bob Schell. Hodgetts retired at the end of 1978 after 12 years of service and was 
outgoing chairman.  Along with appointing Schell as the new chairman, board members
also gave their tentative approval for a $1.3 million proposed budget.  In other
Onaway news, it was the second week in a row, sledders on the Oak Street hill at the 
corner of Oak and Fardon were being warmed to stay away.  Onaway Police Department
chief Jim Badgero warned parents and children of possible hazards of sledding on 
the hill.  The chief said the hill was an accident waiting to happen for sledders
and motorists, and asked children to find other places to sled.
