C.I Auto A Product of or I HE JOUKNAL-NEWS, MONDAY, JUNE 29, 1981 B3 Bond issue for repairs? Panel to inspect schools this fall Leaky roofs, cracks in walls, windows that don't work, and aging school buildings could mean higher taxes in the Clarkstown school district in coming years. How much higher won't be known until the fall, when a special citizens' committee produces a list of needed building repairs. The report is likely to result in a bond resolution to be placed before the voters in next spring's elections. Although school officials say the problems are not now serious, they say the district must take actions soon to prevent further deterioration. Accordingly, the district is seeking volunteers to inspect school facilities this summer, and prepare an inventory of needed repairs by the fall.

'After you get 15 to 20 years on the buildings, they start to require additional financial support, said Matthew McGovern, the district's chief of buildings and grounds. Among the most dramatic problems is an approximately eight-foot long crack oneinch wide at one point in the wall of Clarkstown North High School. By LEN MANIACE Staff Writer CLARKSTOWN The crack, running along the outside wall near the school auditorium, has existed for some time, but school officials became more concerned when the size of the crack increased this winter. A recent inspection showed the crack did not present a safety hazard and was not a sign of foundation problems, said McGovern. But along with the crack in the high school wall are old windows which increasingly do not open and close, and which, on occasion, fall out, said McGovern.

"They're the original windows, almost 30 years old and they will have to be replaced," said McGovern. In addition to needed repairs at Clarkstown North, several buildings are plagued by leaking roofs, officials said. "For 20 years, we have been in the fortunate circumstance of having buildings," said District Superintendent Donald Van Wagenen. "You expect to have roof problems eventually. But we don't have critical needs." Late last week, school officials could not estimate the size of the bond resolution likely to go before the voters, but School Board Vice President Ruth Bullwinkel said the costs "would not be astronomical." Drawing a comparison, Ms.

Bullwinkel predicted a bond, if approved, would not be comparable to the $5.5 million building repair bond now being considered by the neighboring East Ramapo School District. Last month, Nyack voters approved a bond resolution to spend $1.6 million for the renovation of district facilities. Ms. Bull winkel said Clarkstown North High School, the district's oldest secondary school building, seemed to have the most significant problems. Leaking roofs plague the south wing of Felix V.

Festa Junior High School, and three or fo four elementary schools, officials said. In recent years, the district has attempted to repair the roof leaks, but the problem appears to have advanced to the point where patching is not enough, said McGovern. "'We might need a new roof or parts of a new roof," said McGovern. Van Wagenen said he hoped the committee would complete i its work by the fall.

Alvin Steinkopf, war correspondent SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Alvin J. Steinkopf, a retired Associated Press reporter who served as a war correspondent during World War II, is dead at 84. Steinkopf, who worked for the AP 31 years before he retired in 1962, died Saturday after a lengthy illness. suing board over ruling (Continued from B1) The hardship, accepted by the zoning board, was that Frank's ovens were not big enough to handle his business, forcing him and fellow Hasidic Jews in his employ to work straight through from 6 a.m., Thursday to sundown, Friday to prepare baked goods for the Sabbath for customers. "The hearing was devoid of inquiry as to why these things were needed and what other relief was available," Sengstacken said.

Frank could not be reached Friday, but a family member referred questions to his attorney, Donald Tirschwell. The attorney had not been informed of the Sengstacken suit and could not comment. Sengstacken, however, acknowledged that he chose to fight on this particular case for reasons other than his disagreements with the zoning board. case isn't somebody's house so it doesn't affect anybody's private life," Sengstacken said. "It is also," he said, "the most dramatic case of construction in violation of a stop order.

It's not somebody that added a cabana to a swimming pool. It's a very substantial thing." A town building inspector has standing to contest a zoning board ruling in an Article 78 proceeding (a section of state law providing court reviews of government official's administrative decisions) under a court decision rendered in another Rockland case, brought in 1968 by former Clarkstown Building Inspector Robert Bowman. For Sengstacken, this legal confrontation with other town officials is a tame one. After serving in Republican administrations, Sengstacken was suspended from his civil service post by Democratic Supervisor John McAlevey in 1966, and charged with 21 counts of incompetence and deliberate misconduct. He fired Sengstacken the next year after a 54-session public hearing.

Sengstacken took the town to court, winning in the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court and prevailing in the Court of Appeals in 1974, when he returned to work as deputy to William Bowns and then succeeded Bowns in 1978. 4th NAIL-TIPS $35,00 June 30th July 1st Only 35 Rte.

The national landmark bridge, which connects Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn, was closed to Brooklyn-bound traffic a at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday and shortly afterwards in both directions. It reopened at about 9:15 p.m. but the walkway remained closed pending repairs.

Two stay diagonal cables, installed as wind stabilizers when the bridge was erected in 1883, had been corroded by the droppings of pigeons which roost in the twin towers of the bridge, according to Robert Gough, chief engineer of bridge operations. Staff photo Al Witt ing educational service to the children of Rockland." The award was presented by South Orangetown School Board President Sylvia Baumel, who chaired the award selection panel. Brooklyn Bridge The cables, two of dozens which extend from the suspension bridge's towers to its roadway, pass through the tops of the towers where the birds nest, forming the weblike pattern which admirers say is part of the suspension bridge's beauty. The injured man, identified as Armi Akira in his late 20's, was apparently struck by the falling cables which are 2.25 inches in diameter, Gough said. Akira was listed in critical condition at St.

Vincent's Hospital and was to undergo surgery for a fractured skull, according to hospital spokeswoman, Rita Conyers. Ironworkers were to begin replacing the cables today and carpenters were to rebuild damaged parts of the pedestrian boardwalk, according to Abel Silver, spokesman for the Transportation Department.
