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 />

• By Sasha Watson<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 />

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 />

Ratings out of 10:<br />

Performance 7; Handling<br />

7; Build Quality 7; Comfort<br />

6; Space 6; Avg fuel<br />

consumption on road<br />

test – 10.1L/100km; Value<br />

for Money 7; Safety – Five<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 />
