FAREWELL TOROEL VANDERKOOI

by Patricia Dorfman

Sunnysider Roel Vanderkooi died March 19 at age 80.His health diminishing for some time, he was too thin, buthis dashing good looks still apparent. But he surprised manyby being able to stay at home on his own, just looked in uponand assisted by close friends.

Born in northern Holland, he was a fan of Netherlandroyalty and was an avid watcher of Dutch news and pro-grams, with a glass of wine, some good Dutch cheese andcrackers. (Last year, he drove to Baltimore just for cheese.)Many remember the gag mug designed by his designer sonof Roel dressed as a king.

SAVE THE CLOCKTOWER OF QUEENS

by Crystal Wolfe

The historic Long Island City Clock Tower (29-27Queens Plaza North), originally known as the Bank ofManhattan Building, was built in 1927 by the architectMorell Smith and is one of the most vital architecturalbuildings in Queens. Towering over Queens Plaza, andonce hailed by the Long Island Star Journal as the new“Times Square of Queens,” it was the first skyscraper inLong Island City and the tallest building in the Boroughuntil 1990.

WHAT GOES UPMUST COME DOWN:DEMOLITION AND RECONSTRUCTION

OF QUEENS’ AIRPORT

by Crystal Wolfe

According to the LaGuardia Airport RedevelopmentProgram’s website, the LGA “is undergoing an extensivecapital redevelopment program in an effort to provideworld-class airport facilities for passengers and airlinesalike.” The program will include the demolition of some ofthe existing infrastructure as well as the construction of: 1.3million square feet of new land, a new aeronautical ramp,frontage roads that will serve the new terminal, additionalgates, a new central heating and refrigeration plant, andother utilities and site improvements such as baggage han-dling systems that are centralized, a baggage screeningfacility, 1,620 feet of baggage claim frontage, 214 check-incounters and kiosks, two-passenger security screening checkpoints with a total of 22 lanes—all of which will improve theexperience and efficiency of time for flyers.

The frontage roads can be overly packed in rush hoursand do not meet industry design standards. The currentramps limit aircraft movements resulting in inefficienciesand higher costs. Present infrastructure is not meetingexisting or future demands, and much could be done to makethe airport more environmentally friendly.

CELEBRATING PERMANENT Q103SERVICE EXPANSION

Elected officials, transit advocates andcultural institutions from Astoria and LongIsland City celebrated the long-awaited per-manent service expansion of the Q103 busline, which connects the two Queens water-front neighborhoods along Vernon Boule-vard. After strong pressure from SenatorGianaris and community leaders in 2014,the MTA instituted a trial expansion for theQ103 that expanded weekday service hoursand finally provided service on weekends.The trial program was a success and theMTA will now make this expansion perma-nent after years of advocacy.

“I am thrilled the MTA heeded mycall to make this Q103 service expan-sion permanent. Western Queens haslong needed better bus service, so it isgratifying that the MTA responded toour concerns,” said Gianaris. “There isso much happening throughout west-ern Queens that our need for bettermethods of traveling between our neigh-borhoods has never been more press-ing. This service expansion represents

a hard fought victory, but I will neverstop fighting for improved transit ser-vice in our community.”

“I applaud the MTA for making theQ103 service expansion permanent,” saidAssemblywoman Catherine Nolan. “Asthe Long Island City and Astoria commu-nities continue to grow, the demand forincreased bus service is greatly needed. Icommend both Senator Gianaris for push-ing this priority and the MTA for listeningto the community.”

“Working with my colleagues in gov-ernment we were able to secure permanentand expanded Q103 bus service for thou-sands of riders who have been in need ofadditional transportation options,” said NewYork City Council Majority Leader JimmyVan Bramer. “Enhancing alternative trans-portation services for riders here in WesternQueens has always been a priority for me.With the permanent addition of the Q103even more New Yorkers will gain access toWestern Queens’ cultural scene and some ofthe hottest neighborhoods in our City.”

“INVEST IN LIBRARIES”Campaign Will Release New Report Detailing

Grimmest Examples of Branches in Need of Capital

Funding after Years of Neglect

On March 20th, New York City Council Majority Leader Jimmy VanBramer, Finance Chair Julissa Ferreras, Council Member CostaConstantinides, Chair, Sub-Committee on Libraries, heads of New YorkCity’s three library institutions – New York Public Library, BrooklynPublic Library and Queens Library – members of District Council 37 andlibrary advocates from all five boroughs launched a major campaign,“Invest in Libraries,” to reverse years of neglect and urge the City toappropriately fund the library system. The campaign will also release anew report detailing some of the most egregious examples of branchesin need of capital funding.

The newly-formed campaign, Invest in Libraries, is a partnershipbetween the three library systems and library supporters across the City.The campaign is calling for $1.1 billion in capital funding for criticalrenovations and maintenance – a mere 1% of the City’s ten year CapitalPlan – and a $65 million increase in operating expenses in this year’sbudget, to provide the programs and services New Yorkers demand andexpect from their local branches at least six days a week.

City funding for public libraries has been slashed by nearly 20percent over the last 7 years, and library staff has been reduced by over1,000 workers. Many branches across the City aren’t even able to stayopen six days a week.

In addition to the report, the campaign launched the websiteinvestinlibraries.org where New Yorkers can go to take action and stayupdated on the campaign.

The eulogy by his grandson,Spencer, who was emotional butstill flashed Roel’s dimples as hetold funny stories that had hisfamily and friends nodding andlaughing ruefully. Spencer as-sured all that he would get themon the list as attending, notingthat one of Roel’s most exasper-ating habits was to make a list onhis birthday of just who had orhad not called him.

Staying at length at the visita-tion as good friends, were bothAssemblywoman Cathy Nolan,for whom Vanderkooi worked asa community liaison, as well asCouncilman Jimmy Van Bramer.The funeral was held at Lynch’sFuneral Home, with All Saint’sFather Joseph Jerome conductinga service. Roel’s family opted forcremation and will also hold an-other service upon return toCanada. Missing was the force-of-nature Luke Adams, Roel’scompanion for close to 40 yearswho died four months ago, withwhom he worked at Don BarTravel and on tours worldwide.

Roel loved good company.Luke urged him to join and helpcommunity groups, and he did –the Kiwanis, the Chamber, andthe Lions Club. (A beautiful sur-prise, Roel’s family, encouragedby Anthony Kulzer, asked that inlieu flowers, donations be madeto Sunnyside Artists, Inc. Just fourmonths ago, Roel’s similar re-quest has funded the Luke AdamsArt Prize for two years. Both werefounding & continuous boardmembers since 2007.) Roel wasTreasurer of the Sunnyside Cham-ber upon his death, and his designability, precise record keeping andimpeccable manners made him avalued staffer and volunteer all ofhis life.

Spencer mentioned the kind-ness of Roel’s friends who stoodby him in the last months,Bernadette McDevitt, JunMedina, Ona Whitman, FrancesSchmidt, and singling out An-thony Kulzer.

The Prophet Isaiah servicereading described a “beautifulheaddress instead of ashes,” andwe all hope Roel is with the manyhe loved so well and he is wearinggarb to his liking in the kingdomof heaven.

Farewell toRoel Vanderkooi

The Clock Tower Buildingboasts 14 stories, 3 of which in-clude the tower and hold its mam-moth 4-faced illuminated clock,has neo-Gothic historical intrica-cies culminating in gargoyles andcrests adorning the battlements,with buff-colored pressed brick andIndiana limestone trim. The cur-rent state of the Clock Tower’sexterior is showing signs of wearand tear, but most of the exteriorstructure and materials have heldup well.

In May of 2014, the CriterionGroup bought the property for $15million. Then in November, theysold the Clock Tower building toProperty Markets Group for $31million. Reportedly their plans forthe building include partial or eventotal demolition. With this latestsale of the building, an urgent andpowerful show of community sup-port is imperative to the buildingspreservation.

On Tuesday, the LandmarksPreservation Commission voted toschedule a hearing to decide if thebuilding should be landmarked. Ifthe Clock Tower is granted land-mark status any proposals to re-construction of the building wouldbe subject to the approval of theCommission.

It currently coversnearly 700 acres in Queens, NewYork. It borders on Flushing andBowery Bays in Northern Queens,just minutes and 8 miles fromManhattan. The LGA is an impor-tant source of revenue for Queensand the greater New York City/New Jersey metropolitan area,employing 11,000 people, gener-ating about 116,000 local jobs and$5.7 billion in annual wages andsalaries.

According Crane’sNew York Business, the total costof the project will be $3.6 billionand remodeling is estimated to befinished by 2021.
