By KIM SCHWABENBAUER Of the Tribune Staff ONALASKA, Wis. Four area business groups will be living under the same roof soon, according to the president of the Onalaska Area Business Association. The association has been working on setting up a permanent address for it and the new branch office of the Greater La Crosse Area Chamber of Commerce, the Holmen Civic and Commerce Association and the Onalaska Tourism Committee for the past year. One of the main reasons for the move is to establish a sound working relationship and good communication right away between all of the groups when the new Chamber of Commerce branch moves to Onalaska, said Michael Colvin, president of the Onalaska association. Colvin said the association was inspired to work on establishing good communication with the Chamber office after seeing how well the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Transportation communicated while working on the new Hwy 53 project.

Getting us all in the same building will help us to better discuss our goals and objectives in promoting the community, Colvin said; COMMUNITY Housing plan Continued from page 1 play cards or such in the evenings and decorate the place any way they wanted, agreed McHugh. According to Green, elderly housing facilities become a positive influence on a community something of pride. Holmen Area Civic and Commerce Association president Bob Martin said he had hoped there would have been a little more concrete commitment from the public, but added he understands that it is hard to agree to living quarters not yet built. Added McHugh: We have many widows living quite capab Also, forming this coalition will save on expenses for all of us.

They are not yet ready to move. The Wunneckes currently have their own home, but Laura previously lived in McHugh Manor, one of two existing Holmen apartments for the aging. I lived there before my marriage three years ago, she said, but they have a very long waiting list. Green said he believes there certainly is a need" in Holmen for the elderly housing and added Bethany officials would be willing to discuss almost anything in the future. But, he added, we will not initiate anymore.

erts said. Roberts said his stand on the issue is in tune with constituent concerns over too much money going to the southeastern part of the state. Roberts expects legislators to consider retaining the current school aids formula and to explore sources of revenue to increase the state commitment to public education, which the governor had promised four years ago. The financial losses to area i school districts under the governors proposal compared to the current equalization formula would be: Bangor, Holmen, Melrose-Mindoro, Onalaska, and West Salem, $182,337. Percentage losses in state school aids would range from 4.42 percent in Onalaska to 7.68 percent in Bangor.

Virgil Roberts, D-Holmen, is voicing his opposition to a one-year freeze in the state equalization aids formula for public schools because the proposal will cost five school districts in his area including Holmen and Onalaska more than $1.2 million.

Governor Tommy has proposed percentage increases in school aids for all school districts of no more than 2.9 percent for 1991-92. The proposal ignores enrollment increases, building needs and the difficulty rural districts have in generating local property taxes to pay for schools, according to a release from Roberts office. The school districts of Bangor, Holmen, Onalaska, Melrose-Mindoro and West Sale would have to levy an additional $1,200,877 in local property taxes under the Governors proposal, even if those districts froze their budgets at current levels, Rob fife Sefaciifg Experts TOTAL KITCHEN BATH REMODELING Cabinets Countertops Vinyl Ceramic CALL 784-1900 10 SENIOR CITIZENS FOR A FREE ESTIMATE DISCOUNT i aUL, auc a be BRIEFS FISHN ul, GOOD TO GET AWAY!
