Koen Schuiling, the former mayor of Groningen, is going to appeal his conviction for public indecency. Schuiling was issued a fine of 250 euros two weeks ago because the court felt he was guilty of masturbating while driving on the A7 between Hoogezand and Groningen on March 25, 2024. Attorney Peter Koorps confirmed a report by the Dagblad van het Noorden that his client has filed an appeal. The lawyer says that they did this mainly to get the procedure started. He will discuss with Schuiling in the coming months whether they will continue with the appeal. "This will give us more time to think about it." Schuiling has denied the accusations and has said that it is a misunderstanding. He claims to have had stomach pains due to a medical situation. Koorps has said that his 66-year-old client is struggling with the process. Schuiling was the mayor of Groningen from 2019 to October of last year. He resigned from his position, citing health reasons caused by overwork during a period when he was pushing the national government to limit natural gas extraction in the region and asylum seeker policies. It was later reported that the Minister of Interior Affairs, Judith Uitermark, had convinced Schuiling to resign after hearing about the case. © 2012-2025, NL Times, All rights reserved. Tjitska Theadora “Thea” Kranzo, 56, of Jamestown, peacefully passed on surrounded by her beloved family and dogs at home on Friday, February 7, 2025. She was born to Gonnie Konneman Siekmans and the late Tjitze Siekmans in Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Netherlands on December 1, 1968. Growing up in the Netherlands, Thea frequently recounted her habitual bicycle rides to work and to school while cherishing the seasons when the weather would allow her to ice skate on the canals to neighboring towns. Her energetic movement nurtured in her young years, paralleled with her holistically spiritual grounding, captivated the essence of her very being throughout her lifetime. The most vibrant, social soul to everyone she encountered, Thea had the innate courage to come to the United States speaking barely any English. Profoundly, her life in America began with the genuine embrace of Wegmans. Her native Dutch and German tongues were wholly respected until Thea eagerly learned English through coworkers and shoppers alike. Accomplishing American citizenship and learning to drive stateside was a marvelous feat. Three families shaped Thea’s story: her heritage in the Netherlands, her treasured immediate family, and her Wegmans family, to whom she grew with for 25 years. There was not a heart Thea didn’t love. As a gregarious communicator, she went the extra mile without a care for one’s preconceived role, image, or belief. There were no barriers in Thea’s mind. Outside of her dedication to work, Thea enjoyed backpacking in the Adirondacks, running 5ks, floating in the pool, and spending time with family at home. She read and re-read the Michael and Kathleen Greer series in Dutch to no end, only to be more committed to her impressive Hay Day mobile gaming. In honest Thea fashion, she achieved elite records and shared her winnings with others. International friendships were born out of her gaming connections. Thea’s kindness toward others permeated into the earth. She had an affinity for gardening and took pleasure in hours of weeding. Thea’s radiant air of bequeathing energy will be deeply missed by her adored husband, John, whom she married December 24, 1997; her children, Tjitze, Katja, and Lotte; her siblings, Gea (Lammert) and Demelza (Robert); her nieces and nephews, Lana, Davey, Mason, and Makenna; her sister-in-law, Tammy; and her prized dogs, Luna and Doris, and cats, Noodles and Ajax. Besides her father, Tjitze Siekmans, Thea was preceded in death by her aunt, Tante Ali. It deserves mention that Thea was a spiritual person, as she believed in the grandeur of the person in the mirror. Thea stayed spiritually true to the Netherlands way – ‘Hoop Geloof en Liefde’ – Hope, Belief, & Love. Continue to spread Thea’s light with this truth. The family will receive friends for a time of visitation from 3-6 pm Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at Lind Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to your favorite charity in support of animals, an organization that assists in preserving local trails, or to Roswell Park Cancer Center.

The introduction of a number of open recesses in the relatively deep building volume would create pleasant workplaces. By installing insulation, the existing building could be just as energy efficient as the new development. The integration of town hall, library, theatre and arts centre allows for lower operating costs and more efficient use of the number of square metres due to the double use of spaces. The architectural challenge was: how to ensure that the four different functions conveyed an overall impact that reflected their programme and the public objective? In addition to this, the interior should facilitate exchange between the four users. © Michel KievitsThe solution for both problems was to a large extent found in the central street. This connects the various functions and forms part of them. Giving the public spaces a flexible layout meant that, throughout the day, users can easily switch between intimate and larger-scale spaces. At the same time, the street functions as the building’s focal point. The great height, the overhang and the façade pattern create a distinctive location for the various functions.
