Moll’s Dolls take to the stage<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
“HERE’S TO no more winters<br />
with a munted Marshs Rd,” is<br />
Halswell Ward city councillor<br />
Andrei Moore’s response to the<br />
start of a long-awaited repair.<br />
The works to remove a road<br />
shoulder and fix up potholes<br />
began on Monday and will go<br />
on until February 2, weather<br />
permitting.<br />
Road closures are to be<br />
expected and there will also be<br />
no on-street car parking<br />
while the construction is<br />
occurring.<br />
Said Moore: “While it<br />
is a slight inconvenience<br />
for about a week, the<br />
fixing of the road will be<br />
well worth it.<br />
“It has been needed<br />
as the road has been an<br />
absolute shocker for many<br />
years and the general vibe to<br />
these works is great.<br />
“A local resident once<br />
counted 450 individual<br />
repair patches along<br />
here, so it really is<br />
good to see this getting<br />
done.<br />
“The potholes are<br />
often unavoidable<br />
and I’ve been sent a<br />
number of photos of<br />
damaged vehicles over<br />
the years.”<br />

SHUFFLE BALL change, time<br />
step, and buffalo are just a<br />
few of the most common tap<br />
dancing moves – ones which<br />
Molly Chapman knows very<br />
well.<br />
As the director and vice president<br />
of an all-female competitive<br />
tap-dancing team, Moll’s<br />
Dolls, Chapman, who teaches<br />
the team and competes alongside<br />
them, has been preparing<br />
for several months for the 35th<br />
New Zealand Masters Games.<br />
The event will take place in<br />
Dunedin from February 3-11,<br />
and the group of 35 to 70-yearolds<br />
will dance the nights away,<br />
competing against four teams<br />
in the formation dance and<br />
show dance categories of the<br />
dance-sport section.<br />
The group will also compete<br />
as duos, triples and quad teams<br />
in the under-50s and over-50s<br />
categories.<br />

Chicken feet an<br />
unwelcome find<br />
WHAT<br />
A CASEBROOK couple feared<br />
their children or pets could<br />
have been poisoned after raw<br />
chicken feet painted with pink<br />
nail polish on the claws were<br />
thrown onto a Cavendish Rd<br />
property.<br />
The house was also egged<br />
earlier this month, but it was<br />
the unusually decorated chicken<br />
feet which concerned the adult<br />
occupants, who wished to<br />
remain anonymous.<br />
Although a common pet food<br />
for dogs, uncooked chicken<br />
feet can cause outbreaks of<br />
bacteria-related salmonella,<br />
campylobacter and listeria.<br />
“The nail polish can be toxic<br />
and we’ve got no idea what else<br />
could have been done to them,”<br />
said the mother-of-two.<br />
Her children are aged two and<br />
six, while there is also a cat in the<br />
household.<br />
“We had six (chicken feet)<br />
dotted across our front lawn. Our<br />
cat was trying to eat them, we<br />
had to get her away from them,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We also have young children<br />
on the property so they’re a<br />
potential danger to them as well.<br />
HEAT PUMP<br />
“A local team for local people”<br />
RAW EMOTION: A Casebook<br />
couple were appalled to<br />
find potentially harmful raw<br />
chicken feet on their lawn<br />
after their property was<br />
targeted by pranksters.<br />

“It was quite disturbing to us<br />
and it would have been just as<br />
disturbing to the children, had<br />
they seen them.”<br />
The chicken feet were found in<br />
the early hours of <strong>January</strong> 5, and<br />
it was not an isolated incident,<br />
leading the woman to believe<br />
local youth were emulating a<br />
social media trend.<br />
“Apparently there is some viral<br />
TikTok prank about this which<br />
originated in America,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Our best guess is someone<br />
is trying to replicate it here. It<br />
surprise me if there’s a video of it<br />
happening here as well.”<br />
The woman, who lodged<br />
a report with police and is<br />
awaiting the chicken feet to be<br />
taken away for analysis, posted<br />
her concerns on the Bishopdale/<br />
Burnside/Casebrook Community<br />
Facebook page and soon learned<br />
other members had been<br />
targeted.<br />
Another Cavendish Rd resident<br />
found chicken feet crammed into<br />
a letterbox the same morning; a<br />
woman who lives on Casebrook’s<br />
Regents Park Drive found<br />
chicken feet on her car.<br />
Pizza boxes into<br />
recycling, aerosol<br />
cans into rubbish<br />
YOU can place in your<br />
yellow, green, and red bins for<br />
kerbside collection is changing<br />
to make sorting waste easier<br />
across the country.<br />
From February 1, the<br />
Government is standardising<br />
what materials can be collected<br />
from households for recycling<br />
and organics across the<br />
country.<br />
The only items able to be<br />
recycled from home will be<br />
plastic bottles, clear meat<br />
trays and containers number 1,<br />
2 and 5, food and drink tins and<br />
cans, paper and cardboard, and<br />
glass bottles and jars.<br />
Christchurch residents will be<br />
able to put empty pizza boxes<br />
into the yellow recycling bin.<br />
Tea bags, shredded paper,<br />
serviettes, paper towels and<br />
aerosol cans will need to go into<br />
the red rubbish bin. All lids, soft<br />
plastics and drink cartons must<br />
continue to go in the red bin.<br />
Collecting the same materials<br />
through kerbside collections<br />
will make it easier for everyone<br />
to put items in the correct bin,<br />
no matter where they are in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Residents can still drop off<br />
their recycling and hazardous<br />

We turned to Cameron as we wanted the high profile that we knew would come<br />
from listing with him. What we didn’t realise prior to dealing with him and his<br />
amazing team is how geniune he is. Everything happened when it was meant to<br />
and he held us together when we needed it. I also felt listened to and at no time<br />
ever did I feel spoken down to, something I know a lot of agents can do.<br />
Sam, who works as part of his team, was truely amazing and if she ever changes<br />
her career should consider politics.<br />
All in all I cannot encourage you enough to consider Cameron when you sell<br />
your house.<br />

Competing a ‘life highlight’ for dancers<br />
• From page 1<br />
Chapman, 65, said: “The<br />
masters is one of the only<br />
competitions where we get<br />
to showcase our talents and<br />
compete against other groups.<br />
We are really excited about<br />
competing as representatives of<br />
our local community.<br />
“We’re also a masters games<br />
award-winning team, having<br />
won gold, silver and bronze<br />
medals in the formation team<br />
and dance sport at the last four<br />
games.”<br />
The team has received a New<br />
Zealand Community Trust<br />
grant of $2000 to help with the<br />
running of two minivans and<br />
accommodation costs.<br />
Chapman donned her first pair<br />
of tap shoes when she was four<br />
and never looked back. Born<br />
and raised in Dunedin, she now<br />
lives in Bromley and has been<br />
teaching dance for more than 45<br />
years.<br />
She passed her love of dance<br />
onto her late daughter Nicola,<br />
who died six years ago, and her<br />
son Hayden, who graduated<br />
MOLL’S DOLLS:<br />
Dancers have<br />
been practising<br />
twice a week<br />
for the past<br />
few months in<br />
preparation for<br />
the competition<br />
in Dunedin next<br />
month.<br />
from the American Musical and<br />
Dramatic Academy in 2014 and<br />
is now a New York-based off-<br />
Broadway performer.<br />
“I love dancing, it has been a<br />
full family affair. It brings me so<br />
much joy and I believe it is never<br />
too late to learn how to dance,”<br />
Chapman said.<br />
“Moll’s Dolls is about being,<br />
dancing and competing together<br />
and enjoying yourself. We’re one<br />
of very few tap-dancing teams<br />
that actively compete . . . and we<br />
have an absolute blast.”<br />
The group was founded in<br />
2015 and came about when the<br />
mother of a young girl Chapman<br />
was teaching suggested setting<br />
up a class for adults, as well as<br />
preschoolers.<br />
It was while attending a masters<br />
games event with a softball<br />
team that Chapman became<br />
aware of the dance-sports category<br />
and soon after began setting<br />
up a competitive dance team.<br />
Team member and performer<br />
Julie Riker said Molls Doll’s was<br />
their “senior sports club” and<br />
provided an invaluable sense<br />
of community, happiness, and<br />
health.<br />
”Being able to dance with<br />
childhood friends some fifty<br />
years later and travel to the NZ<br />
Masters Games in Dunedin will<br />
be a life highlight for me.”<br />
COMPETE: Moll’s Dolls have won gold,<br />
silver and bronze medals at the past four<br />
Masters Games.<br />
The group offers classes for<br />
women of all skill levels at St<br />
John’s Church in Woolston,<br />
ranging from absolute beginners<br />
to seasoned tappers, and offers<br />
the opportunity to dance at<br />
corporate functions, community<br />
events, rest homes and other<br />
performances.<br />
Said Angela Yannakis, who<br />
is also a part of the performing<br />
team: “Moll’s Dolls are a funloving<br />
dance group with one<br />
thing in common – a passion for<br />
tap dancing.<br />
“We constantly strive not only<br />
to perform to a high standard but<br />
also to have the most wonderful<br />
time doing it.”<br />
<br />
“I haven’t heard this clearly for years!”<br />

McKenzie aims for Paralympics<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
MCKENZIE DRAGE is in<br />
the pool six days a week in<br />
preparation for the New Zealand<br />
championships in April, with<br />
a long-term goal of competing<br />
at the Los Angeles 2028<br />
Paralympics Games.<br />
The 19-year-old was born with<br />
Apert syndrome, but it has never<br />
stopped her from pursuing her<br />
dreams.<br />
“I am very determined and like<br />
to face challenges with a positive<br />
mindset,” she said.<br />
Apert syndrome causes fusion<br />
of bones in the fingers, toes, and<br />
head and neck. Various surgeries<br />
were needed during Drage’s infancy<br />
and childhood to improve<br />
her quality of life.<br />
“School and social life have<br />
been a challenge but I’ve never<br />
let my disability hold me back<br />
from setting goals and achieving<br />
them,” she said.<br />
When swimming, Apert<br />
syndrome mainly affects Drage’s<br />
range of movement as she cannot<br />
fully extend her arms, neck or<br />
shoulders.<br />
“I have limited reach and kicking<br />
ability, but I follow a daily<br />
stretching programme to try and<br />
develop my flexibility.”<br />
Drage works part time as<br />
a lifeguard at Jellie Park. She<br />
attended Hagley College until<br />
graduating last year and lives on<br />
the family farm near McQueens<br />
THE RIGHT<br />
LANE:<br />
McKenzie<br />
Drage with<br />
the award<br />
qualifying her<br />
team for last<br />
year’s Oceania<br />
tri series.<br />
Drage’s longterm<br />
goal is<br />
to compete<br />
in the 2028<br />
Paralympics.<br />
Below – with<br />
coach Emma<br />
Smith.<br />
Valley with her parents and older<br />
brother.<br />
Farm life has taught her how to<br />
work hard.<br />
“I’ve learned how to get jobs<br />
done and be organised with my<br />
time.”<br />
The family owns 80 free range<br />
chickens, and Drage is partly<br />
responsible for selling their<br />
eggs to customers in Christchurch.<br />
She has always enjoyed swimming<br />
and started competing in<br />
year 11.<br />
“Being able to swim well helps<br />
me feel confident in any water.<br />
I really like the discipline of<br />
training hard and feeling fit and<br />
healthy.”<br />
Drage is part of the Aquagym<br />
Swim Club where she is coached<br />
by Emma Smith.<br />
In September, she represented<br />
New Zealand for the first time at<br />
the Oceania tri series swimming<br />
‘Everyone has differences and strengths, and life is about<br />
making the most of what you have’ – McKenzie Drage<br />
championships in Hastings.<br />
She won the 100m individual<br />
medley, achieving a personal<br />
best of 1min 52.4sec.<br />
“I feel really satisfied when I<br />
get a personal best time in a race<br />
I have been focusing on,” she<br />
said.<br />
“They don’t come easy though,<br />
there’s a lot of hard work and<br />
sometimes you get disappointed<br />
when you don’t make a time.”<br />
Drage is training hard ahead<br />
of the New Zealand swimming<br />
championships in April.<br />
With her eyes on the future,<br />
Drage wants to achieve qualifying<br />
times for the world para<br />
series in Melbourne next year<br />
and then the Los Angeles 2028<br />
Paralympic Games.<br />
Being a paraswimmer has<br />
given her amazing opportunities,<br />
she said, like meeting her hero,<br />
Paralympian Sophie Pascoe,<br />
and being able to represent New<br />
Zealand in international competitions.<br />
“Everyone has differences<br />
and strengths, and life is about<br />
making the most of what<br />
you have.”<br />

Hilux overhaul results in a more supple drive<br />
TOYOTA IS looking to rival the<br />
top selling new Ford Ranger with<br />
some upgrades to its current<br />
Hilux, launched in 2015.<br />
With an all-new replacement<br />
still 18 months away this<br />
version is feeling the sales heat<br />
from a bevy of newer rivals.<br />
The reputation that surrounds<br />
the Hilux brand and the loyal<br />
customer base will help it in<br />
the sales scrap. However, that<br />
will only go so far, and Toyota<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
has responded with some<br />
worthwhile changes to its<br />
flagship Hilux 4WD SR5<br />
Cruiser.<br />
The major talking point is the<br />
upgraded suspension and wider<br />
track, with increases of around<br />
140mm front and rear. One thing<br />
you notice almost immediately<br />
is the substantial 20mm increase<br />
in rise height to around <strong>25</strong>0mm.<br />
This should be plenty for<br />
more adventurous owners to<br />
comfortably navigate<br />
even the trickiest<br />
cross-country<br />
terrain.<br />
To accommodate<br />
the track increase,<br />
Toyota engineers<br />
overhauled the<br />
suspension, with<br />
the Hilux sporting a<br />
rear stabilizer bar for<br />
the first time. How<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
radical is that! As a result of a<br />
bevy of suspension changes, roll<br />
rigidity has been enhanced by 20<br />
per cent, improving steering feel<br />
when cornering.<br />
More effective stopping<br />
power is provided by new rear<br />
ventilated disc brakes in place of<br />
the former drum brake set-up,<br />
while slightly larger front disc<br />
brakes are convincing show<br />
stoppers.<br />
Those seeking a more<br />
upmarket ute will find it in the<br />
premium $63,390 SR5 Cruiser<br />
six-speed automatic being<br />
reviewed here.<br />
Ample power is provided<br />
by Toyota’s super dependable<br />
150kW 2.8-litre turbo-diesel.<br />
There’s an abundance of low<br />
speed pulling power with<br />
500Nm more torque than the<br />
motor it replaced three years<br />
ago. On the open road, the<br />
engine is strong and effortless in<br />
everything it does.<br />
In low speed town driving,<br />
I felt noise levels were overly<br />
intrusive for a premium ute.<br />
The motor revels in off-road<br />
terrain with plenty of throttle<br />
response and pulling power.<br />
The six-speed automatic is an<br />
oldie but definitely a goodie and<br />
perfectly paired to the motor –<br />
and it should be, as they’ve been<br />
working as a top-notch gear<br />
changing combo for eight years.<br />
Thanks to the wide body<br />
enhancements the double cab<br />
feels bigger and more generously<br />
provisioned than before. It’s<br />
loaded with car-like features<br />
such as a driver seat height<br />
adjustment, and there is a<br />
telescopic and height adjustable<br />
steering column. The steering<br />
wheel houses multi-media and<br />
phone controls with Bluetooth<br />
capability. The touchscreen has<br />
been upgraded and the audio<br />
system now includes Apple<br />
CarPlay® and Android AutoTM.<br />
The premium ute push<br />
continues with niceties such<br />
as push button engine start,<br />
carpeted cabin, satellite<br />
navigation, LED daytime<br />
running lights and chrome<br />
exterior door handles. Standard<br />
features include a 9-speaker<br />
audio system, 18-inch alloys,<br />
leather seating, full-size alloy<br />
spare wheel and a driver seats<br />
with 8-way power adjustments.<br />

Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of<br />
10: 7<br />
There’s an equally impressive<br />
arsenal of safety kit. This is<br />
delivered by Toyota’s acclaimed<br />
Safety Sense package that adds<br />
a pre-collision system with<br />
autonomous emergency braking<br />
for vehicles, pedestrians and<br />
cyclists, plus dynamic radar<br />
cruise control, lane departure<br />
alert and road sign assist. A<br />
reversing camera takes out the<br />
guesswork when reversing.<br />
Drivability would go up a<br />
level or two if more work went<br />
into tuning the steering, so it’s<br />
sharper and more responsive.<br />
It lacks those two critical<br />
ingredients, and consequently<br />
is off the class-leading ride<br />
and handling pace set by the<br />
excellent Ford Ranger.<br />
