25,000 more people estimated‘We’re estimating afurther 13,200 homes

GROWINGGROWINGPAINSPAINS

Two new houses under construction in Te Awamutu. According to Waipa District Council’s draft Waipa 2050 District Growth Strategy we’ll need two new houses per week for the next four decades to meet growth predictions.

Massive growth projected forthe Waipa district has prompteda formal review of the district’sgrowth strategy.

A further 25,000 people areexpected to live in the district by2050, bringing Waipa’s popula-tion to nearly 75,000. The in-crease will mean a further 14,000people for Cambridge, 5400 in TeAwamutu and Kihikihi and morethan 6000 additional residentsspread around the rest of thedistrict.

Deputy chief executive DavidHall said the district’s growthstrategy was adopted in 2009. Butrapid growth meant a review wasneeded.

“We’re estimating a further13,200 homes will be needed inWaipa by 2050 to house newresidents and we need to beplanning for that well and plan-ning for it early,” Mr Hall said.

“Before we develop land,build houses and create roads weneed to know clearly whereeverything will go so developershave a comprehensive blueprintto follow.”

To help plan, council ident-ifies likely growth areas called

growth cells. Detailed planningthen begins for those growthcells to accommodate roads,what type of development will beincluded, what parks and greenspaces are needed and whereservices like shops, water andwastewater will go.

Council is conducting formalconsultation on the draft Waipa2050 District Growth Strategy.

In Te Awamutu eight residen-tial growth cells and two indus-trial growth cells are signalledfor development before 2035.

The draft strategy containsdetails on two new plans innorthwest Cambridge borderingthe town belt. The plans allow formore than 3500 new houses aswell as two new neighbourhoodshopping centres.

The draft growth strategydetails likely growth and de-velopment scenarios for Hamil-

ton Airport as well as Ohaupo,Ngahinapouri, Karapiro,Pirongia, Pukeatua, Rukuhia, TeMiro and Te Pahu.

A booklet called What’s theStory? has been developed tosummarise what’s proposed. Thebooklet is available from counciloffices and libraries and is onlineat www.futurewaipa.co.nz.

Public feedback is beingsought on the draft strategy untilearly June. Community feedbackwill be sought at open days inboth Cambridge and Te Awa-mutu during May. On this side ofthe district public informationand feedback sessions will beheld in the Te Awamutu librarycommunity room tomorrow andTuesday, May 9 from 4pm-7pm.

No easy fix for flooding issuesSeveral people have

contacted me about floodingand stormwater issues on theirproperties.

With the amount of rain wehave had in resent weeks theground was saturated, causingincreased run-off.

If you are unfortunate tolive in an area where watercould gravitate to or below aneighbour’s section you mayhave been one of the affected

properties. There may not be aquick fix solution, or even asatisfactory one for somepeople.

I brought this up at a meet-ing and council staff said theywould check stormwaterdrains and catchpits in themost affected areas.

This saying of ‘one in ahundred year storm’ is mis-leading to say the least. Wecould have several of those

this winter, it would be betterto state in severe rainconditions certain areas andproperties have a high chanceof flooding.

In years gone by we seemedto have endless cold miserabledays of drizzle, the last fewyears it seems when it rains itpours. Just look at the flooddamage in the Bay of Plenty.

I’m not hiding from a seri-ous problem many face, but

giving an honest answer insaying that every effort mustbe made to alleviate and man-age these issues.

I have sat at many meetingwhere speakers have boldlystated ‘water is a finite re-source’ — if you live in theWaipa District the answer tothat would would be ‘I don’tthink so’.

Try Te WanangaIn late April I attended

graduation from TeWananga o Aotearoaafter completing mycourse last year.

It was a great cere-mony, and recognised theachievement of tauira/students who hadpersevered andsucceeded in 2016.

As someone who hadbeen away from studyingfor several years I wasinitially apprehensive,but found a holistic andcaring place that backedme and a range ofstudents of all ages andethnicities to succeed, re-gardless of our previouseducation.

As my course wasabout tauira getting usedto learning practices andpreparing for furtheracademic study; TeWananga gave me astrong foundation as Inow work towards mydegree and beyond.

I can’t recommendthis institution enough toothers.

And as semester twoapproaches I think any-one interested in study-ing or even just lookingahead to 2018 shouldcheck out Te Wananga oAotearoa to take the nextstep on your learningjourney.

Our firefighters bestin the North Island

TC240417SP03RECORD holders KaraRowland, 20, (left) andIsabel Whitaker, 18.

Te Awamutu fire-fighters have provedthey are among the bestin the country.

New Te AwamutuVolunteer Fire Brigaderecruits are smashingrecords in a combat chal-lenge that simulates real-life firefighting.

Eleven local firefight-ers competed in theNorth Island FirefighterCombat Challenge inPalmerston North onApril, 8.

The challengeinvolves a stair climb,hose hoist and stairdescent, forcible entry,obstacle course and hoseadvance, and finisheswith a victim rescue.

Te Awamutu Volun-teer Fire Brigade’s newrecruits Isabel Whitaker,18, and Kara Rowland,20, broke the New Zea-land record by 44seconds.

They paired up tocompete in a tandemevent and their first timebroke records at 2:52.30.

Their second timewas even faster at 2:39.45,winning them the tan-dem category.

The other local fire-fighters also made TeAwamutu proud.

Firefighter DaveShaw took out the North

Island overall for thesecond time and won theover-40s category. ChiefFire Officer Ian Camp-bell again won the over-50s category.

Mr Campbell’s timealong with Deane Mark,Dave Shaw, Ayden Dunnand Jarrod Spicer wonthe fastest brigade aggre-gate time.

The men also placedthird in the relay event.

Te Awamutu fire-fighters took out first,second and third in theco-ed section. Anna Alex-ander and Dave Shawplaced first, Ngaia Henryand Deane Mark secondand Ayden Dunn andKara Rowland third.

The brigade enteredits first all-female relayteam on New Zealandsoil. Anna Alexander,Casey Cook, IsabelWhitaker, Ngaia Henryand Kara Rowland werethe fastest female relayteam.

But the hard workisn’t over for Te Awa-mutu firefighters. Theycompete in the nationalchallenge this week inWellington.

Planning for growthTe Awamutu and Kihikihi

will need nearly 3500 morehouses by 2050 to cope withprojected population growth.

That’s two new houses perweek for the next 37 years tohouse more than 18,000 peoplelikely to be living in the area.

These figures and more areoutlined in Waipa DistrictCouncil’s draft Waipa 2050 Dis-trict Growth Strategy. Thestrategy outlines what growthis projected for the district anddetails how the councilproposes managing it.

While Kihikihi’s existingtown boundary provides forenough growth up to 2050, TeAwamutu will need a further286 hectares of land for hous-ing. In Te Awamutu, councilalso wants an additional 20haof industrial land and 16ha forcommercial land to accommo-date new factories,warehousing, office space andretail development. SmallerWaipa settlements also comeunder the spotlight. By 2050:■ Karapiro’s population isexpected to increase by 400,requiring 85ha of new residen-tial land. Further growth isproposed to the northwest ofthe village.■ Ngahinapouri looks set togrow by around 380 people,requiring 50ha of new residen-tial land and another 170houses. A small neighbour-hood shopping centre isproposed and the local prim-ary school may need to beexpanded.■ Ohaupo’s population isexpected to grow by around 190people, requiring 35ha of newresidential land and another90ha on large lots. There ispotential to create a new hous-

ing area with access to LakeRotomanuka.■ By 2050 Pirongia will behome to nearly 2000 peoplefollowing a population in-crease of around 480. That willrequire 70ha of new residentialland and another 230 houses.There is currently enoughland within the current villageboundary to accommodate thegrowth. New retail space willbe required before 2050.■ Pukeatua is projected togrow by 70 people with 20ha ofnew residential land requiredfor another 30 houses. It islikely more tourism infra-structure will be needed tocope with the impact ofMaungatautari SanctuaryMountain. Both residentialgrowth and tourism accommo-dation can be provided forwithin existing zoned land.■ Rukuhia’s population willclimb by around 140 with an-other 60 houses requiring 35haof new residential land. De-velopment in Hamilton willbring Rukuhia closer to thecity and new roading projectsare likely to remove most ofthe traffic from Ohaupo Rd.■ Te Miro will grow by around85 people, requiring 35 newhouses and another 20ha ofland. Future growth is likely tobe near the school with life-style properties proposed.■ Te Pahu is also likely togrow by around 140 people,potentially driving 60 newhouses and requiring 35ha ofnew residential land. Sectionssizes are likely to be around5000m2.■ There are also plans to pro-vide more land for industrialdevelopment around Hamiltonairport.

Floating to heal yourself

TC020517BT02OWNER of Edwards Nature & Co, Ella Edwards, discoveredflotation therapy after a speedway crash.

BY BETHANY ROLSTON

After Ella Edwards wasinvolved in a speedway crashshe knew it was time to takebetter care of her body.

The decision led to the21-year-old opening a naturaltherapy business, EdwardsNature & Co. But it hasn’t beenan easy road.

Last week marked threeyears since the motorsport acci-dent at Mt Manganui’s ASBBaypark Stadium. At the timeshe was 18 years old and apassionate speedway racer. Shehad just enrolled in a Bachelorof Natural Medicine in Auck-land.

The accident caused a trau-matic brain injury, delayed con-cussion syndrome and memoryloss problems. She sufferedfrom week-long migraines andblurred vision, and needed 18hours of sleep every day. Heroccupational therapistsuggested she pull out of hercourse due to her injuries.

But her father, speedwayracer Mark Edwards, encour-aged her to keep going.

“My Dad had always told methere’s no such thing as can’t.”

She channelled her driveinto researching alternativetreatments for her brain injuryand came across flotation ther-apy in Auckland. The treatmentinvolves floating in a pod filledwith 700 litres of water and500kg of magnesium sulphate.

“It’s like a giant privatebathtub with a lid,” she says.

The magnesium is absorbedthrough the skin, allowingmuscle recovery and improvedsleep quality. The pod shelters

you from sights, sounds, tactilesensations and gravity, whichreduces stress levels and ridsthe body of toxins.

“It’s a sensation I can onlydescribe as hanging in space.”

After Miss Edwards’ firstfloat she felt more relaxed andless stressed.

“After my second float I washooked.” She soon discoveredher head injury symptoms hadstarted to lessen.

In 2016 Miss Edwards fin-ished her degree, moved back toTe Awamutu, began manufac-turing skin care and launchedEdwards Nature & Co fromhome. She purchased a float podas an addition to the businessand so far it’s been a hit.

She’s had everyone from All

Blacks to sufferers of chronicpain seek her flotation therapy.

She introduced her mother,Vanessa Edwards, who hasmultiple sclerosis, to it. Hermother now floats every dayand says it has improved hersymptoms.

The environment in the podis similar to the Dead Sea. Dueto the salt levels you can’t rollover or drown in the pod — youcan fall asleep and be com-pletely safe.

The water is 36 degrees,which is skin-receptor neutral.You can lose track of whereyour body ends and where thewater begins.

“The environment in the podprovided me with a perspectivefilter to experience how deeply

connected, yet totally separatethe body and mind are.”

Between each session thewater passes through a medicalgrade 10 micron filter four to sixtimes. The magnesium sulphateacts as a natural disinfectant,inhibiting bacteria.

You can either float in dark-ness or enjoy lights which movethrough the seven chakra col-ours — red, orange, yellow,green, blue, purple and white.

Other float pods are in Auck-land, New Plymouth and Well-ington, but Edwards Nature &Co is the first in the Waikato.

“People have asked me why Ididn’t open the business inHamilton, but I love Te Awa-mutu — it’s my home.”

Casual floats in Aucklandcost about $120, but a casualfloat in Te Awamutu is $89.

“I wanted to make itaffordable for Te Awamutu,”she says. Miss Edwards hasn’traced again since her crash. Shedoesn’t think she ever will.

Miss Edwards grew up onthe Kihikihi Speedway andspent every weekend there as achild. She’s the younger sisterof sprint car driver AndrewEdwards, who died after a crashat Baypark Speedway at 19 onNew Year’s Day, 2008. He hadbeen a leading driver in themini-sprint class along with hisfather and younger brother,Brian.

“I still have a massivepassion for speedway. It hasunited my family. But I’ve real-ised my body is more importantthan racing.”

Te Awamutu womanLeanne Milligan is set tobecome the InternationalPresident of Altrusa.

More than 60 womenfrom across New Zealandgathered at Fahrenheit Res-taurant in Te Awamutu lastmonth to celebrate.

The group also cele-brated the 100th year anni-versary as an internationalwomen’s club.

She joined Altrusa TeAwamutu in 1994 and hasheld several positions in thelocal club, was District 15Governor and was atreasurer on the interna-tional board.

Club member RobynAtherton says Miss Milliganis an “an amazing woman”.

“No matter how busy sheis, she has always made timeto support others. No job isbeneath her dignity. Withher beside us, we can doanything”.

The members of AltrusaNew Zealand, or District 15,presented her with akorowai to acknowledge herachievement.

The korowai band designwas chosen to represent‘Aroamoana’ or the waves ofthe sea, which represents

the bringing together ofpeoples across the world.

The celebration atFahrenheit Restaurantbegan with an outline ofAltrusa’s international his-tory, which began in 1917 inthe USA.

The name Altrusa wascoined from ‘altruism’ andthe ‘USA’.

In 1917 women were notentitled to join men’s civicclubs.

Altrusa’s beginningswere shaped by Mamie Bassand Dr Alfred Durham whorecognised the possibility ofa business women’s clubdedicated to the service ofothers.

The aim was to help

women unlock their poten-tial and help others improvetheir own way of life.

Over a number of years,the clubs grew across theUSA and then inter-nationally.

Local club memberChristine Melville, who willbecome the Governor for theNew Zealand District, spokeof New Zealand’s Altrusanhistory.

“In 1966 new clubs wereformed in New Zealand, andin 1994 the Te AwamutuClub came into being.”

Blood Brothers is back

BY DEAN TAYLOR

TC020517DT03BIG BROTHER: Sammy Johnstone (Edward Roberts) and the gang playing inthe streets.

TC020517DT02BROTHERS: Mrs Johnstone (Rosalind Davies) with her twins, right.

Te Awamutu Light Oper-atic Society’s productionBlood Brothers opens at TheWoolshed Theatre this satur-day for a two week season.

The show is being reprisedby the society as a result oftheir 40th anniversary lastQueen’s Birthday weekend.

At the formal function, thatincluded cutting the cake,speeches and a dinner, guestswere entertained by membersof Talos performing numbersfrom the many much-lovedmusicals they had performed

over the four decades.The programme was organ-

ised by long-time memberCoral Taylor. and it includedtwo songs from BloodBrothers, which she haddirected in 2008.

She says she was taken bysurprise by the number ofpeople who were interested inthe Blood Brothers songs andpeople expressed an interest inseeing the show done again.

A fan of Willy Russell’sclever writing, Mrs Taylor wasdelighted to bring the showback to Te Awamutu.

Blood Brothers tells the

story of twin brothers Mickey(Caleb Higham) and Eddie(Adam Harrison), the lattergiven up by his mother MrsJohnstone (Rosalind Davies)at birth to socialites Mr andMrs Lyons (Noldy Rust andBeverley Pullon).

Growing up on either sideof the tracks, the boys weredifferent — but when they met,found they were the same —and became blood brothers.

Mrs Taylor says eventhough the story isn’t that wellknown, it is popular with audi-ences.

She says Willy Russell clev-

erly uses repetition, in aninteresting and unique way, tocreate familiarity with theshow.

The show is also a chancefor teenagers and adults toplay children — notablyMickey’s older brother Sammy(Edward Roberts) and the onlyreturning cast member,Tracey Ellis, who again playsLinda.

Mission accomplished

BIRTHDAY boy SelwynForrest in the chair with ablue marlin on, and left, weighin with the Gladiator crew.

BY GRANT DIXON

There’s a marlin! there’s amarlin!’

‘Where?’ shouts the skip-per, who missed the first timethe billfish stalked the Red Gilllure.

As the fish came back up onthe lure — ‘look, there, on thatone’ the newbie game fisherpointed out.

Sure enough, the fishlunged at the plastic offering,turned and disappeared outthe back of the spread, show-ing very little of itself otherthan its bill.

First time game fisher andNZ Fishing News subscriptionprize winner Selwyn Forrestwas soon in the chair and withcrewman Matt Barchet quietlytalking him through the initialrun while getting him settledin the harness.

Mr Forrest, a 76-year-oldretiree from the King Country— he celebrated his 77th birth-day two days after the trip —had won a two daygamefishing charter aboardKen and Donna Pascoe’s 56ftSalthouse Gladiator, crewedby Matt Barchett and ByronSpeight. He had brought hisbuddy Murray Swan to sharewhat he hoped would be hisfirst encounter with a marlin.

Leaving the Bay of Islandsthey headed north.The planwas to spend the morningdropping for a swordfish offCape Karikari before trollingfor a marlin.

With just one swordfishbite on the squid baits for a1-0-0 result, the lures were setin the early afternoon and it

was not long before a fish wasraised, Mr Forrest gettingdown to the business of catch-ing his first marlin.

It was to be a trophy hardearned and well deserved. Hispersonal best fish until thispoint was a respectable 10.9kg

(24lb) snapper and‘few hapuku caughtoff the back of GreatMercury’.

This was a186.6kg (410lb) bluemarlin.

With the crew

talking him through everymove, he developed an easy liftand wind rhythm, done in tunewith the swell to maximise anyline gain, and was able to landthe giant fish.

He says he and Murraytalked about nothing else onthe six-hour trek back home,reliving the trip over and over,and I am sure it won’t be forthe last time the tale of the onethat ‘didn’t get away’ is sharedamong family and friends.

TC020517CT04RUMBLING it up . . . Kihikihi No. 8 Matu Paroane comes face to face with TeAwamutu Sports’ defender, hooker Terrance Croonen in their Waikato division twoclash at Albert Park, won 20-17 by TA Sports.

TC020517CT05KIHIKIHIstalwart rugbyplayer BarryHeta winslineoutpossessionfor the ‘amberand blacks’against TeAwamutuSports in theircloselycontesteddivision twogame.

Senior rugby teams within TeAwamutu Sub Union will behoping the tide soon turns afterexperiencing a disappointingstart to the Waikato club season.

Of the opening 31 gamesplayed by local teams in premier,premier B, division 1, division1b, division 2 and Under 85kggrades, only nine wins have berecorded . . . and two of thosewins occurred in local-derbies.

Te Awamutu Sports premierskick-started their season with a23-16 win over Southern United,only to drop the next three gamesafter playing themselves intowinning situations each outing.

They are trucking nicely,showing improvement on pastyears. It is just not showing yetin the wins column.

Staying injury free is a key asthey do not possess the playerdepth of some of the opposition.It showed in the loss to HamiltonOB.

A win against one of thepower houses of Waikato clubrugby would do wonders for thisexciting young side’s morale.

Once they start believing theycan beat any side in the competi-tion, this talent-laden side will bea very dangerous opponent weekin and week out.

In premier B grade, Te Awa-mutu Sports have suffered heftylosses to Southern United 50-5and Hamilton Marist 63-22, whilebeing a trifle unlucky losing 15-12to Hamilton Old Boys.

Pirongia have a two-win, four-loss record in division one,having beaten Ohaupo 30-7 andSuburbs 27-24.

Losses have been to Putaruru27-5, Morrinsville Sports 36-10,Taupiri 38-12 and Hinuera 24-3.

Ohaupo’s only win to date indivision one was a 56-7 rompagainst Huntly. They have lost toTe Rapa 36-21, Frankton 34-21 andPutaruru 62-15, as well asPirongia.

Pirongia’s division 1B team’s20-19 win over Ohaupo has beenoffset by losses to Putaruru 36-29,Morrinsville Sports 40-7 andSuburbs 38-34. Ohaupo arewinless after three games,having also lost to Te Rapa 29-8

and Frankton 20-11.In division two, Kihikihi

have beaten Te Akau/Ngarua-wahia 37-15 and Te AwamutuMarist by default, while losing toTe Awamutu Sports 20-17 andWhatawhata 27-24.

Te Awamutu Sports have alsobeaten Kereone 40-22 and lost toJaradites 45-26.

BACK PAIN?Gaye’s GotThe Touch

I tell everyone about Bowen Therapy - it hastransformed my life.''I used to race motor bikes and I have hadsome serious accidents. Now years later, it wasall catching up with me. I had sore feet, soreshoulders and a sore back.

If I had been sitting in the car for a while, andthen I got out, I would be so stiff I could hardlymove. I felt like an old man. My physiotherapisttold me I had arthritis in my spine and feet andthere was nothing more they could do for thepain. I would have to learn to live with it andtake painkillers if necessary, which is what I did.

I saw a rheumatologist.

I had scans done and an orthopedic surgeongave me cortisone injections.

The pain continued to get worse"

When you are in a lot of pain you’ll tryanything."When I came to see Gaye I was a mess.My feet were really sore and it was agonyto walk anywhere. I had my doubts aboutBowen Therapy, but when you are in a lot ofpain you'll try anything once. The treatment wasgentle and relaxing which was not what I was

expecting and to tell you the truth I thought Ihad been ripped off. I remember walking up theroad after the treatment feeling quite angry

about it. Then I came to the realisation that myback felt quite good and I was walking better.I continued to improve over the next few dayseven though I wasn't following Gaye's after careadvice. I booked another appointment; I took itseriously this time and followed her advice!”

Bowen Therapy has transformed my life."Bowen Therapy has transformed my life.The pain has gone and I have my life backagain. I go to the pool. I go to the gym. I cycleand I dance. I tell everyone about BowenTherapy. Bowen Therapy really worked for me;maybe it will work for you too...”

Gary Mullen and theWorks play Hamilton

WIN: DOUBLE PASS TO ONE NIGHT OF QUEEN

We have another chancefor you to win a a doublepass so you can be there tojoin in the fun and celebratethe most welcome andmuch anticipated return ofGary Mullen and TheWorks as he brings hisspectacular show OneNight Of Queen back to the‘Tron!

The spectacular showcomes to ClaudelandsArena on Sunday, Septem-ber 3 at 8pm.

Since winning Stars inTheir Eyes in 2000 with arecord 864,838 votes, GaryMullen has toured theworld with his breath-taking One Night of Queen.

His uncanny vocal re-semblance to the lateFreddie Mercury hasenthralled hundreds of thou-sands of people throughoutthe UK, USA, Europe, SouthAfrica and New Zealand.

One Night of Queen,performed by Gary Mullenand The Works is a stunninglive concert, recreating thelook, sound, pomp and show-manship of arguably thegreatest rock band of alltime — featuring hits suchas I Want to Break Free, AKind of Magic, We Will RockYou and — of course —Bohemian Rhapsody.

Reviewers have ravedabout Mullen’s likeness tothe late Freddie Mercury.

Last night I would prob-ably have believed that theband performing were thereal Queen and that Mullenwas the real Freddie Mercuryif I had not been aware thathe died in 1991 — The Press,Christchurch.

In Salt Lake City, Utaha reviewer said: Those whodon’t believe in reincarnationshould have spent Thursdaynight inside a packedKingsbury Hall watchingGary Mullen and The Worksimpersonate Queen. Wearingtight white pants, someancient Adidas sneakers andoften little else, Mullenbrought legendary Queenfront man Freddie Mercuryback to life in a two-hourenergy-filled concert that hadtoddlers to grandparentsdancing in the aisles.

He is the champion myfriends!

Mullen is back — it’sparty time! Be prepared torock till you drop. Ticketsfrom Ticketek.

CINEMASCENECINEMASCENEHandsomeDevil

Director JohnButler has endlessfaith in and respectfor teenagers' cap-acity for wit, empa-thy and intelligence— so Ned andConor's friendship isa joy to behold, per-fectly cast.

Although it isvery much its ownmovie, you couldsay it is in the samegenre as BillyElliot.

Ned and Conorare forced to share a

bedroom at their boardingschool. The loner and the starathlete at this rugby-mad schoolform an unlikely friendship un-til tested by the authorities.

It succeeds as an immensely

likeable, coming of age/comingout charmer as it builds to astirring (and quite rousing) cli-max that ensures it ultimatelydoes end on a feel-good, positivenote.

Get OutThis movie is

funny. This movie ispolitical. This movieis intelligent,wicked and very,very calculated.This movie is some-times visually stun-ning, andimpeccably acted,but mostly, it’s scaryas hell.

A chilling,humorous, remark-ably clever thriller.

A young blackman visits his whitegirlfriend’s familyestate where helearns that many ofits residents, whoare black, have gone

missing and he soon learns thehorrible truth when a fellowblack man on the estate warnshim to ‘get out’.

He soon learns this is easiersaid than done.

It’s a seriously creepy andunsettling film right the way

through and one that will haveyou biting your nails and sittingon the edge of your seat right upto the end.

It’s also much more than abrilliant thriller, with a wholehost of amazing performancesand an eerie twist.

GoingIn Style

Funny, enter-taining, light-hearted, feel-goodand charming.Three seniors, whoare living fromtheir social securitycheque to chequeand even reduced toeating dog food attimes, decide theyhave had enough.

So they plan torob a bank. Theproblem is, theydon’t even knowhow to handle a

gun.A social commentary on

growing old in America andwhat we are sometimes drivento, due to circumstances.

Starring Michael Caine,Morgan Freeman, AnnMargret, Matt Dillon, AlanArkin, Joey King, ChristopherLloyd.
