Dean Kaufert said he normally favors sidewalks and believes they increase safety, but he also had questions about the petition. Aid. Bruce Rhoades, a Winnebago County deputy sheriff, said he had been on Inverness to check traffic and ticketed someone going 50 mph. "To me, that's a safety factor," said Rhoades, who said he favored the sidewalk proposal. In other action, the council approved an ordinance prohibiting parking on the north side of Haylett between Oak and Higgins streets.

The restriction, which will apply only from September through May, is aimed at pushing the Neenah School District to build a parking lot at Horace Mann School. The district leases Horace Mann to the Fox Valley Technical Institute and other tenants, and city officials contend it has created a parking problem in the neighborhood. City Atty. James Gunz reported that the city has started negotiations with Warner Amex Cable over the city's cable TV franchise. Although recent federal legislation removed most local control over cable TV companies, the city hopes to get a contract with provisions similar to those obtained by Oshkosh, which would call for upgrading the system and expanding the number of channels.

In a related matter. Aid. Robert Andre has asked that the city attorney investigate the feasibility of an ordinance that would require installation of sidewalks when the area is developed. Andre's district includes Inverness Lane and other new subdivisions that have been the setting for sidewalk disputes. Andre said he thought before the meeting that there was a strong movement in favor of sidewalks based on the petition, but he changed his mind after seeing the large contingent opposed to sidewalks.

No one spoke in favor of sidewalks at the public hearing. "The more I listen to this, the more I question the validity of the petition that was presented," he said. Present city policy sets standards for sidewalk installation based on traffic and pedestrian counts and other criteria such as being near a school or park. The Inverness Lane petition, however, was received just before enactment of the revised sidewalk policy. Sidewalks are the most controversial subject the council regularly deals with, Aid.

George Scherck said. The council is rightfully accused of vacillating on the subject, he said, but the only alternative is a blanket policy requiring sidewalks everywhere. "The contradiction is that those who have to pay NEENAH Setting policy on when to require tieighborhood sidewalks continues to be a tough 4ssue for the Common Council. The most recent example of that quandary is on Inverness Lane, where only half the residents on one side of the street have sidewalks. A petition filed with the council asks that all nouses on the west side of Inverness Lane have sidewalks installed, but homeowners without them are adamantly opposed.

A sidewalk costs $600 to $800, an assessment that can be spread over eight years, and brings the hassle of shoveling in winter. A group of 11 Inverness Lane residents attended the council meeting Wednesday to speak against the proposal. They questioned the safety benefit of a sidewalk, especially if it is only on one side of the street, and said the petition was a "divide and I conquer" method of getting sidewalks in the neighborhood. delayed action on the petition, pend- thg a check of whether all residents who signed the petition are current property owners. Thepro- sidewalk petition had signatures from nine of the 16 properties on the west side of Inverness.

The 500-mile race, which began in 1978, rewards speed and fuel efficiency. It has been compared to the Indianapolis 500 auto race. Between 20 and 25 aircraft competed in the annual evnt. During the race, which was run mainly by homebuilt aircraft, pilots flew around a 78-mile course between Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, after first flying to Oshkosh's Wittman Field. Without the race, the cost of insuring the 1987 EAA convention dropped slightly this year.

That has enabled the EAA to keep convention fees down, Convention Chairman Thomas P. Poberezny said. Insurance costs for the convention will total about $350,000 this year, down $25,000 from last year. Because insurance costs did not increase, most convention fees will remain at last year's rates, Poberezny said. Although this year's insurance rate is down slightly, it's still historically high.

In 1984, EAA officials paid about $50,000 to insure the convention; the figure rose to $150,000 in 1985, reflecting nationwide increases in product liability insurance costs. That means EAA officials are now paying about seven times what they were three years ago. "Insurance rates are still relatively expensive, but they have stabilized and coverage is more readily available," Poberezny said. By The Assocloted Press OSHKOSH The Experimental Aircraft Association's annual Osh-kosh-Fond du Lac Air 500 race has been canceled because of cost and safety concerns, an EAA spokesman says. Henry M.

Ogrodzinski, director of corporate communication, said the race, usually held during the group's exposition and fly-in, may be scheduled for some other date. During the eight-day show, he said, air traffic around the Oshkosh and Fond du Lac airports has become too congested. "We were getting all the other air traffic out of the way," Ogrodzinski said Wednesday. "With the increase in traffic, clearing that space takes a lot of time that we really can't afford anymore." Paul Poberezny, EAA president, "thought that in the near future we might have a safety consideration," he said. While the EAA could sponsor the race at some time other than the eight-day convention, Ogrodzinski said, "right now it's highly doubtful that it will happen in the foreseeable future." Other considerations in the decision to cancel the race, Ogrodzinski said, were difficulties in raising the approximately $8,000 in prize money, and rising liability insurance costs.

Arlyn Ackley, chairman of the Mole Lake Tribe of Chippewa Indians, said the spearfishing issue is a top priority, especially because of the racism shown toward the tribe. Tribal members are being turned away from jobs because of discrimination stemming from spearfishing, and some Indians have found resistance from bankers, he said. Michael Allen, chairman of the Lac du Flambeau Tribe of Chippewa Indians, agreed spearfishing is an important issue. cil. "Unemployment is still much higher than the state average." Hartford Shegonee, chairman of the Potawatomi Tribe, said unemployment on his reservation is 80.
