Residents of the Willoughby slope who thought they were living just down the road from the future elementary school are upset about a recently announced land swap. The swap was announced in April, at about the same time that the Lynn Fripps Elementary site was breaking ground. The school district traded land at 19865 70th Ave. with the Township and a developer in a three-way swap. The developer wound up holding the land on 70th avenue, and the school district got a new plot at 20626 84th Ave. Neighbours of the 70th Avenue site say they moved there because they thought there would Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance be a school built there for their children. Pete Pretorius, left, his father Peter, and Raj Gupta are concerned about the swap of a school district-owned site in their neighbourhood. “The main stakeholders, they were outside of the door,” said The problem residents have run the money for new schools comes expect less kids to be generated Raj Gupta, a father of two who into is the difference between a from the provincial government. from that,” said Seifi. lives across the street from the school site and a planned school.

This police cruiser was badly damaged after slamming into the wall at Andreas Restaurant.
Just after noon Thursday, diners and staff in Andreas Restaurant on 56th Avenue felt the building rock on its foundations. “The whole restaurant shook,” said manager Dimitrios Arsoniadis. It wasn’t an earthquake – the building had been rammed by a Langley RCMP cruiser.
The officer at the wheel had been trying to turn around in a hurry, to rush to the scene of a jewelry store holdup at Willowbrook Shopping Centre [see story on page A3]. He fishtailed on the wet roads and slammed sideways into the building. The officer suffered minor injuries, but his vehicle is heavily damaged. A sizeable crack has appeared in the wall of Andreas, and some cosmetic bricks were knocked loose from the front of the building. Arsoniadis said the officer sat in his wrecked car after the crash and calmly wrote up his report on the incident.

Murder
Police seek help to crack case of elder’s death More information is needed to solve the murder of a Langley senior citizen. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Click for community
LangleyAdvance.COM
Kwantlen First Nation leaders and the police are pleading with the public for more tips on the murder of George Antone. Antone, a 71-year-old Kwantlen elder and resident of
the McMillan Island reserve, was found shot to death on March 7 in his home off Glover Road. “The circumstance of our dear elder’s death in our community has been shocking to us all,” said Kwantlen First Nation Chief Marilyn Gabriel in a statement released Monday. “Our community and families are grieving and trying our best to sort through emotions during this very difficult time. As leader in my community, I support full cooperation of our community
with the ongoing investigation to provide answers to this terrible tragedy.” Antone had spent much of his life as a fisher and a logger, and in recent years was part of the band’s elder advisory group. A widower, he had a large family both on and off the reserve. Cpl. Dale Carr, who speaks for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said the leadership of the Kwantlen First Nation has helped police work with potential witnesses.
However, there has been no arrest to date. “Oftentimes people have information and for one reason or another they feel it has no benefit to the investigation,” Carr said. “We need people to call with information and allow the investigators to assess the value of that information.” The IHIT tip line can be reached at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448), or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Grinches chop Christmas trees
A Christmas tree farm is being attacked by vandals who are cutting down young trees. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The spirit of Scrooge appears to be influencing someone to chop down
saplings at a Langley Christmas tree farm. The farm in the 23500 block of 48th Avenue has lost 200 young trees in two incidents over the past three weeks. Someone has come onto the property at night to cut down or otherwise destroy the three-year-old trees. Christmas trees are mature and ready for sale when they’re about five
years old, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. The value of the trashed trees was estimated at about $10,000. Police are now asking if anyone has information about the grinchy vandal. Tipsters can call the RCMP at 604-532-3200, or remain anonymous by calling CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477.

After two clerks were beaten during brazen daylight robberies, RCMP believe they have caught a suspect. A hammer and gun were used to bludgeon an Aldergrove convenience store clerk during a 7 a.m. robbery on May 2. The thieves took lotto tickets and cash. But officers who checked out surveillance video believed they knew the identity of one of the men. On May 4, at about 9 a.m., two men hit a convenience store clerk in the 20700 block of 42nd Avenue with a stick or rod, hitting him several times, and also punching him in the face, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. Again the thieves took cash and lottery tickets. Undaunted by his beating, the clerk followed the suspects into the parking lot and got the license plate number of their getaway car. A witness in the parking lot also saw the car leaving, and followed it, calling police when it stopped. The car turned out to be stolen. A few minutes later, a Langley
Mountie spotted a man in the 20200 block of 54A Avenue who matched the description of one suspect. The officer asked for the man’s name – and noted that a name tattooed on the suspect’s arm was different from the one he’d just given. A little more investigation led police to believe the man was indeed one of their robbery suspects. Keith Robertson, a 22-year-old Surrey man, has been charged with
two counts of robbery and assault causing bodily harm, using a firearm while committing an offence, and obstructing a peace officer. He was being held in custody until a court appearance in Surrey on May 10. Police are still trying to identify the second suspect. Anyone with information can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

B.C. won’t appeal court ruling
The province has 12 months to negotiate with teachers. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The Minister of Education said the recent court ruling on class size and composition won’t be appealed. In April, the B.C. Supreme Court found the B.C. Liberal government trampled teachers’ rights nine years ago when it passed legislation denying them the right to bargain class size and class composition. Education Minister George Abbott said Thursday the decision not to

move forward came after careful consideration and rigorous legal analysis. The Langley Teachers’ Association is pleased. “Langley teachers are thrilled and greatly relieved that the government will not be spending any more time and taxpayers money appealing what is a very strong ruling in the teachers favour,” Fonseca said. She added that teachers are looking forward to seeing class size and composition elements restored to what existed before the province unilaterally altered contracts. She hopes it’s “in time for this fall’s classes, so students are able to return to appropriately resourced classrooms this fall.”

Small step in right direction In August of 2006, the provincial Liberals’ ongoing policy appeared aimed at turning provincial parks into revenue factories. What was it about the “public” part in “public parks” that the B.C. Liberal government just didn’t get? They’d taken a virtually anti-park tack taking office in 2001. By 2006 they had already put parking meters in parks, cut park interpretive programs, and hiked campground fees almost to the level of hotel costs. They tried, unsuccessfully, to pave a chunk of Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, basically wanting to cut down some big trees so people can park their cars to go see big trees. Then they issued a call for proposals to build lodges and helipads in wilderness areas like Golden Ears and Wells Gray parks. It seemed they wanted to put high-end lodges in public parks so the rich can enjoy B.C.’s wilderness, but without the wilderness experience of mosquitoes, lumpy sleeping pads, and campfire cinders in their coffee. So while it is indeed a small step forward – or actually back – Premier Christy Clark’s announcement last week that pay parking will be removed from provincial parks is welcome. She acknowledged that the parking fees were wrong and had stopped people from using the parks. Will she revisit the whole idea of public parks as a revenue source? We don’t know. But we do know that her acknowledgement and correction of a long-standing policy gives us some hope that she may understand that public parks are for the enjoyment of the public, not just for those who can afford a rich experience. And perhaps it is the first step in a much more rational view of our super, natural outdoors in B.C.

We’re all in this world together – held its annual conference, a grand affair that celebrates Rotary, Rotarians, and their combined goals and achievements.

Animal welfare
Children allowed to feel safe down the street when an off-leash dog ran ahead of his owner. My then seven-year-old scaled my body like a tree, screaming in fear. The owner, several yards away, was shouting, “It’s OK, he will only lick you.” As my son kicked me in my pregnant belly, the dog happily jumped on my legs, sending my son into further hysterics. Finally, I managed to raise my knee into the dog’s chest at the same time he jumped up (I felt horrible, as I could tell the dog was friendly). The owner slowly approached, repeating again and again that the dog was
Recycling
Too much plastic outside bin
Dear Editor, The door-hanger I received about recycling garbage is a fine step toward reducing the volume going to our landfills. This stuff, as clarified, is completely recyclable, which means it is good. Plastic, on the other hand, is not. Our blue box accepts only a few certain plastics, and the remainder goes into landfill. Consider all the grocery items that are packaged in plastic, including vegetable bags, shrink-wrapped containers, storage bags, plastic wrappers inside cardboard boxes… the list can go on and on. You only have to look at your own garbage bin to count and see what I am talking about. Take out the recyclable stuff, and what is left plastic. Don Stackhouse, Aldergrove [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www.langleyadvance.com.]
OK, while I snapped at him that, obviously, it was not OK for my son: “Now call him off!” A few days ago, my same son, now 11 years old, was approached by a dog-owner with four off-leash dogs in a children’s playground. My son said, “I am afraid of your dogs, would you please keep them close to you?” The owner replied, “No. Man up!” I stepped in, and the owner apologized but made no effort to leash the dogs or keep them near to him. My son climbed to the highest point of the playground structure and watched his friends play tag without him. I don’t take my son into the PetSmart (they allow leashed dogs in the store), and I do not take him to offleash areas. But I feel he has the right to feel safe when on the street, parks, and playgrounds. In a perfect world, we could all have what we want: ourselves and our children feeling safe, pet owners allowed to walk animals off leash… but it is not a perfect world, and the children of our community come first, and they need to feel safe.

Federal election 2011
Time has come to work together Dear Editor, Congratulations to MP Mark Warawa for winning the Langley Federal Riding seat on Monday, May 2. I also would like to thank the other candidates, Rebecca Darnell, Piotr Majkowski, Carey Poitras, and Craig Nobbs, for putting their names forward. It takes a huge commitment of
time and financial resources to run a campaign. Langley did not always have its own riding. In fact, it was once called Fraser Valley West, and varied between portions of Surrey and Abbotsford. When the federal ridings commissions board decided to look at new ridings for the country, Langley was considered to
Federal election 2011
Losers the biggest whiners
Dear Editor, Like the movie “Groundhog Day,” it seems each time an election is over, the... ahem... losers come out crying foul over our election process. Of course, the rule-changes they propose always favour their repeatedly losing party: proportional voting and such; the Groundhog version of a minority government. If you can’t survive in the desert, you die while others live. If you can’t survive in the workplace, you leave while others work on. If you can’t survive on American Idol, you are voted off while others sing on. If you can’t survive in politics, you go back to teaching at university for salaries others can only dream of. If you don’t like the outcome of elections, get involved. Vote. Write letters. Wave flags. Call talk shows. Show up at meetings. Join political parties. Just quit whining about it. It is a democratic country, and there are ways to influence elections: “involvement.” There are four years to get involved in the next federal election – plenty of time for the average procrastinator. Brian G. Wood, Langley

be divided among one large Surrey riding, and one large Abbotsford riding. However, a strange combination of representatives from Langley appeared before the commission to promote one federal riding to be simply “Langley.” Those representatives were myself, representing the Liberals, Randy White of the Reform party, and Bev Braaten of the Conservative party (with a written submission). After I spoke, the commissioners asked Randy White, if he actually agreed with me, and Randy stated that, in this instance, we needed all parties working together to “make this happen.” We had their attention! After several letters back and forth to the commission, and at least one hearing, Langley was granted the federal riding. Now that the election is over, it is again time for parties to work together, not only locally for the Langley riding that people fought so hard to make happen, but for the welfare and benefit of Canada.

Dear Editor, I love animals. My son is terrified, and rightfully so. At the age of five years he was severely bitten by a dog that was larger than he was. It had escaped out of its yard right at the time we happened to be walking by. We were walking on a small trail that passed the dog’s yard, leading into a playground. My son was several yards ahead of me (off leash, so to say). I have tried to convince him that the majority of dogs are friendly, but to no avail. Regardless of the size of the animal, he is very frightened. When I was eight months pregnant, we were walking

A young man was run over by a driver who fled the scene early Saturday morning in Langley City. The incident took place just after midnight near the corner of 198th Street and 56th Avenue. A 16-year-old boy was with some friends in a laneway behind an apartment building off 198th Street, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. He suddenly ran out towards 198th, cutting between two parked cars. As he ran into the street, a car turned onto 198th from 56th at a high rate of speed.
Several neighbours oppose project
board. That’s standard policy for all local government bodies. The district owns at least one other “designated school site” in Willoughby, at 6920 206th St. The board has been seeking another school in the Willoughby Slope area, but it hasn’t said exactly where it would locate such a school. Several neighbours of the 70th Avenue site were expected to appear at Monday night’s council meeting to oppose the townhouse project on a number of grounds, including density.

The car pinned the teenager. The driver then apparently got out, then got back in, backed off the teen, and sped off south on 198th. The teenager is in serious condition in hospital, but was expected to survive as of Saturday morning, Marks said. The car involved is a white two-door late 1990s car, similar to a Honda Civic. It has black louvers over its rear windows, police say. The vehicle may have some front-end damage from the impact of the boy. The driver is a white man, and appeared to be in his 20s. He was wearing a white shirt and dark-coloured ball cap. Anyone who witnessed the hit and run and has not yet spoken to police, or who can help find the driver, should call the Langley RCMP at 604-530-3200, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477. CrimeStoppers can also be found online at www.solvecrime.ca or on Facebook; tips to CrimeStoppers are anonymous.
“We may have seen some deviations from that general thinking,” Seifi said. There had never been plans developed or announced for the 70th Ave. site, said school district spokesperson Craig Spence. He also noted that it’s not unusual for districts to swap land as requirements for sites change, and that the provincial Minister of Education has to approve such swaps. Swaps and purchases aren’t made public in advance, and are typically only discussed in closed meetings of the school

Teens are next generation of docs, nurses B.C. teens help put the care in health care. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Harjit Minhas plans on being a family doctor but that’s a few years down the road for the 15-yearold. So to help ready himself for work in the medical field, he volunteers two hours per week at Nanaimo General Regional Hospital. “You should know what you will experience,” he explained to the Langley Advance. Minhas was one of the Volunteens who attended the annual teen volunteer conference at the beginning of May. This year it was hosted by Langley’s hospital auxiliary and its teen volunteers, and welcomed teens from health facilities around the province. Minhas is the exception. Most Volunteens are girls.

Mother’s Day
Education
Hair shorn to help local cancer patients Local schools graded by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@mrtimes.com
It was Mother’s Day a couple years back when Linda Bellamy was talking with one of her spa clients who was a cancer survivor. It was that conversation in May 2009 that changed Bellamy’s outlook, and the course of her life for the next 24 months. “We were talking about wigs for cancer patients, and concluded that although it is natural for women of our age to have grey hair, there are no grey hair wigs available,” 57-year-old Bellamy
Linda Bellamy and her shorn locks. recounted for the Langley Advance. She couldn’t shake that realization, and in short order decided to grow her grey hair, chemical free for two years. Her plan: to donate it for someone wanting a
grey-haired wig. But finding a wig-maker interested in her hair was harder than expected. “It is my understanding that all of the hair donated for wigs for cancer patients are usually made into wigs for kids, therefore they do not want any grey hair donations.” Not easily deterred, however, Bellamy made contact with The House of Miss Rose – a Langley business that custommakes wigs for those who have lost their hair for any of a variety of reasons, including cancer. Then, leading up to this year’s Mother’s Day
by Heather Colpitts
(almost two years to the day from the conception of the idea), Bellamy had nine inches of her locks cut off. “I thought that this would be sufficient time to grow out and cut the colour that was in it at that time, and still have the chemical-free part be long enough to donate for a wig for a cancer patient,” Bellamy explained. And now, she’s hoping her little gift served as a great Mother’s Day gift for some woman in B.C. battling cancer and longing for a realistic wig.

About half of Langley’s secondary schools received lower grades in the latest Fraser Institute report card on high schools. The right-leaning think tank has for several years issued report cards on B.C. schools. This report card measured the 2009/10 school year and rates the schools out of 10. The provincial average is six. Langley Fine Arts and R.E. Mountain are rated as the 37th best schools of the 274 in the report card with a 7.6 out of 10. Langley Fundamental’s numbers are 48th with a 7.4 while Walnut Grove Secondary is 50th (7.3) and D.W. Poppy is 112th with 6.4. Sitting at 119th is Brookswood Secondary (6.3), at 218th is Langley Secondary (4.8) and at 245th is Aldergrove Community Secondary (4.8). Langley Christian Middle and High, an independent school, received a 7.2, the same grade as last year.

Amateur boxing
Rubber match ends in draw at Clash 8 event
Langley boxers went 2-1-1 Friday at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre.
Ibriham Ibriham of Vancouver’s Raw Academy. Friday’s rematch was a much closer fight. Some ringsiders thought Oster had done enough to win, but the call went to Ibriham.
“This may have been the fight of the night,” City Boxing manager and trainer Dave Allison reported. “It was very even and well boxed between two boxers [who] boxed way over their heads.”
Calup Weitzel of Abbotsford won a very close decision over Jonathon Dubois in what Allison described as “a very exciting, fan-friendly fight.” “It was very close and evenly matched contest,” Allison said.
Marcos Andres of Sergeants Boxing faced late replacement Chad Gerow. “Veteran Gerow was stepping in to help the show, however, had too much experience for Andres who was fighting for the first time,” Allison said. An intriguing exhibition bout had 21-year-old Sharvin Soltani of Raw Academy taking on 17year-old Mat Andreatta of City Boxing. Along with the fouryear age difference, Andreatta gave up about seven pounds to Soltani, not to mention the fact that, before Andreatta had ever entered a boxing gym, Soltani had won a B.C. title and a silver medal at the Canadian nationals. “Andreatta showed well and if all goes well, we will fight Soltani this fall,” said Allison, who is Andreatta’s trainer. Since City Boxing has joined the Revolution Fight Team, its boxers have a combined 6-2-2 record. “I can’t ignore the fact that being in this facility has helped our athletes,” Allison said. The next Clash show will feature tyke (eight- to 10-year-olds) boxing, as well as a women’s bout that will see Shayla O’Connor, 18, of Raptors Gym in Maple Ridge meet up with Darcy Nestor, 25, of Chilliwack in the 135-pound division.

Little separates Jake Weitzel and Shawn McDonald when it comes to pugilistic prowess. The amateur boxers, each with a split decision win over the other, met in a rubber match as the main event of the Clash at the Cascades 8 show, held Friday at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre. Weitzel, of Abbotsford, took the BC COMBSPORT welterweight title from City Boxing’s McDonald six months ago. Their third match was even closer than the previous two. The back-and-forth bout resulted in a split decision draw, and a result that fans and both corners seemed satisfied with. Weitzel keeps his 147-pound title and looks forward to dropping a few pounds and defending his belt at 140 pounds. This will take place at Clash 9 June 24, when No. 1 contender Akbar Qubar of Burnaby challenges Weitzel. In other Clash 8 action, Langley resident and City boxer Darren Cooper, 25, took on a very game Jesse Isaacs, 19, of Chilliwack in a hard-fought middleweight contest. The split decision went to Cooper with the dissenting judge calling it a draw. Isaacs lost a point during the bout for spitting out his mouth guard several times. The point made the difference in the draw. Both sides have agreed to a rematch. Last March, City Boxing product and D.W. Poppy Secondary student Dustin Oster lost via decision to fellow 16-year-old

The Thunder played its best lacrosse of the season during its fivegame showing. Langley opened against the host Kamloops Rattlers, taking an early lead en route to a 16-5 win. In its second game the Thunder sunk the Delta Islanders 8-2, led

by the offensive attack of Caleb Pearson, who tallied four goals, Connor Watson with a hat trick, and Dawson Calfa with a goal and three assists. Chase Moore was solid on both ends of the floor and took the game star for Langley. The round robin portion of the tournament concluded with the Thunder taking on the tournament favourites, the Coquitlam Adanacs. The Thunder fell 8-4 to the Adanacs in a contest that featured a strong goaltending performance from Riley Richardson, who earned the game star for the local squad.

semifinals, defeating the Islanders this time by a score of 5-2. The Thunder received offensive contributions from a number of players, including two assists from Joey Spady, to go along with a tough defensive effort from Ryan Williams that contributed to his recognition as game star. The win set up a rematch against Coquitlam in the championship game. Langley put forward a tremendous team effort in the final, battling to within one goal in the third period. Coquitlam later pulled away to take the contest 10-6, and the Thunder returned to Langley with silver medals for its weekend efforts.

The Quesnel Millionaires’ move to Chilliwack is now in the hands of British Columbia Hockey League governors.
Chilliwack Chief Henri St. Arnault dumped Langley Hornet Matt Pope during a British Columbia Hockey League game played at the George Preston Recreation Centre in early January 2004.
by Tyler Olsen Postmedia Network Inc.
The owners of the Quesnel Millionaires have accepted an offer from the Chiefs Development Group to buy the British Columbia Hockey League team and move it to Chilliwack. The owners voted unanimously Saturday to accept the offer, according to Millionaires president Bob Sales. CDG consultant Glen Ringdal confirmed the groups had agreed to terms. When reached for comment Monday morning, Ringdal said he hadn’t yet been notified that the 15 owners of the Millionaires had ratified the sale. But he did say “we’re working hard to make something good happen.” The move will now go to the BCHL’s board of governors, which must approve the sale and relocation of the club. Last week the league’s franchise committee agreed to allow the board to vote on the move, despite it being well past the normal December deadline for relocation. Sales says it could be a couple weeks until a vote is taken. While Saturday’s meeting was an emotional one, Sales said the owners

had no choice but to sell the club. “It was really tough for us,” said Sales. “We just found that we couldn’t continue any longer. We were just losing so much money.” If the club isn’t moved, it would likely have folded with the players scattered throughout the league. Sales said the news will be wellreceived by the Millionaires’ players. “The kids will be going to an excellent situation,” said Sales. “I think it would be a tremendous move for our kids.” The team will be named the Chiefs, with the Langley franchise that took that name west having officially rebranded as the Rivermen recently. “I do get quite excited about the natural rivalry that would exist between a BCHL team in Chilliwack and our former team in Langley,” CDG part-owner Moray Keith said.
Starting May 1
Whether or not Harvey Smyl would return to coach the new Chiefs, as has been speculated, is unclear. Smyl could not be contacted before press time. In the spring of 2006, the BCHL’s Chiefs moved to Langley to make way for the Western Hockey League’s Chilliwack Bruins. The Langley Chiefs represented the community for five years, initially at the George Preston Recreation Centre before moving to the Langley Events Centre two seasons ago. The team was recently sold to Roy and John Henderson and renamed the Rivermen. The Hendersons – who take ownership of the club from the previous group which included Keith, Smyl, Heinz Hasselman, and Jim Bond – will take the Rivermen’s oars on June 1.

Against a backdrop of northern mountains, a single-engine plane landed at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. The airport, which opened on July 20, 1963, has grown to a full-service airport with staff-control tower, paved runways, and float plane dock, as well as numerous aviation-related businesses, including flight training, and charter services. On June 26, Airport Day will be held featuring an array of displays and free airplane rides for kids aged seven to 17. There will also be a Show & Shine car show, fire trucks, the RCMP, and other family-oriented activities. The day is being organized by the Aeroclub of B.C. and the Candian Owners and Pilots Association. Troy Landreville/TIMES

“I like to say that you will find things in my shop that you will never find in the mall,” said Katie Hagstrom, the proprietor of Alpaca Xpressions. The Fort clothing boutique, located at 9124 Glover Road, has been selling Fort shoppers on the virtue of alpaca fibre for about five years, since Hagstrom moved her from Kelowna. Llamas and alpacas are South American ani-
mals used as beasts of burden and for their fibre by Peruvians before the arrival of Europeans with their sheep. Fibre from the animals is softer, warmer, and stronger than wool, with less pilling, said Hagstrom. Her love affair with alpaca fibre began years ago, when she was expanding her business into clothing and she visited Peru. “Peru is just an amazing place,” Hagstrom said. She’s spent 15 years in a relationship with that country and its products, one that extends to sending money from Christmas ornament sales every year
to a family she met there. However, alpaca fibre is a bit more expensive than wool or synthetics, she admits. “I’d starve to death if that’s all I carried,” she said. So over the years she has expanded her selection, from sweaters, coats and shawls (some of which she makes herself) to coats and scarves, umbrellas and blue jeans. She can rattle off half a dozen brands of jeans as one customer comes in looking for a particular type of fit. But her hottest seller are her shoes. She has a lot of European imports,

including boutique brands from Brazil, Portugal, Spain, and Germany. She has shoes with recycled soles and vegetable-dyed
leather. She has them for a wide variety of sizes. What she doesn’t have are uncomfortable spikeheeled shoes.
“You’ll never find a three-inch heel in my store,” Hagstrom said. She insists on the shoes being comfortable to wear.

Now she has so much to look forward to When Virginia was on her own, she lost touch with people. Aside from the holidays and occasional outings with her family, she spent a lot of time at home alone. Now that Virginia lives in a Chartwell residence, she is surrounded by people with similar interests and experiences. Her new friends are quickly becoming her best friends.
