McHenry County Sheriffs police and Hebron Rescue squad were called to the scene of a skydiving accident Friday, July 9, at Hebron airport, which claimed the life of veteran skydiver, James C. Stoyas, 52, of 1145 Bryn Mawr, Chicago. County police said Stoyas was skydiving with three other people when a problem developed and the board comprised of county, municipal and township officials to exercise control over budget matters and work with the McHenry County Senior Citizens Council, which would administer programming. Enstrom said he did not think Huntley would go along with the plan. "Our town is against it because we (the local seniors club) can provide all the services you do," Enstrom told Malone. Malone conceded Enstrom's point and an additional one that 175,000 would support only the current level of programming by the seniors' council in the county. He added, however, that any local money used by the council through the oversight committee would be eligible for matching federal dollars at a ratio of about $2.50 to $3 federal to $1 local. Benoy said he was concerned about using municipal money for a program which might be abused by seniors who mendation concerning Hank Buch and Sons Heating and Air Conditioning Buch is relocating the hialnias from W.

So far, there has been no discussion about raised or increased taxes to support the proposal. Wehde said previously that said municipalities and townships could raise their shares of the revenue "any way they wanted," but implementation of the plan is not intended to raise taxes or create new ones.
