THE FEMINIST Clown Posse
is about to be unleashed on
Lyttelton. But those with
coulrophobia need not
worry as these clowns aren’t
scary.
The group’s sold-out
show next Wednesday
promises to bring of fits of
giggles to even those with
a phobia of clowns.
Renowned Australian
entertainer Tessa Waters
(pictured left), who now
lives in Lyttelton, coined
the group’s name to be
“positively provocative”.
“Clowns are seen
as sort of innocent
and putting it with
feminism, which is
quite a strong idea,
will hopefully either
make people interested
in what we’re doing
or realise it’s not for
them,” she said.
Waters’ clown
troupe is part of the
line-up for LytFest,
starting on Friday.
Festivities will start
with the free opening
party at Albion Square
from 5-7pm.

Feminist posse takes to
clowning
Taking the
plunge all
for a good
cause
• By Isabella Adams
SARA TEMPLETON took her
first plunge with the Scarborough
Dippers as they raise funds for the
community, and she’s keen to go
back for more.
The Heathcote
city councillor
went along on
Monday, and
described the
experience as
exhilarating.
“(It was)
actually much
more fun than I
expected, with
Sara
Templeton
such an amazing group of people
dipping and a great cause to fundraise
for.”
The annual ‘Wet July’ challenge
started this week. All funds raised
will go towards a new defibrillator
at Taylors Mistake and the
Sumner-based mental health
initiative Surf Ora.
Participants are tasked to take
a dip in the sea every morning for
the month of July.
Templeton expressed gratitude
for the other participants, as
they helped her navigate the
cold waters.
“I was well distracted by a
couple of regular dippers, who
reminded me to breath through it
and were really encouraging.”
As winter is in full swing, the
water is expected to be around
9-11 degrees.

‘Loud, naughty and disruptive’
• From page 1
Attendees are encouraged to
dress up and watch the parade of
performers followed by a dance
party.
The festival promises 16 days
of theatre, dance and exhibitions
for audiences of all ages at venues
throughout Lyttelton.
Artists like Lyttelton
multi-instrumentalist Carmel
Courtney and Queenstownbased
juggler Paul Klaass are part
of the line-up.
Under Waters’ tutelage, 22
women and non-binary people
have been learning the art of
clowning through a feminist
lens at the Lyttelton Recreation
Centre.
“The clown scene internationally
is quite male dominated, so I
was very interested in empowering
other voices.”
She has more than a decade of
experience in creating acclaimed
comedy, theatre and short films
which have played to sell-out
crowds in Australia and the
United Kingdom.
Waters has found traditional
clown training to be restrictive,
with women typically limited to
feminine and sidekick roles.
“There’s the idea that women
always had to be quite small
and pretty and quirky. I’m
quite interested in taking up
some space and being loud and
naughty and disruptive,” she said.
The posse ranges in age from
GIGGLES AND GAGS: The Feminist Clown Posse is a Lyttelton-based troupe focused on
learning the jester arts through a progressive lens.
early 20s to those in their 60s,
with some being experienced
performers and others complete
novices.
“It’s all about embracing who
you are and then whatever
silliness you have in your core
will shine.”
The posse has attracted
wannabe clowns from Banks
Peninsula and Christchurch, who
have been training together since
February.
Their LytFest show will feature
various skits, gags and crowd
interaction.
“It’s all very based in that
connection with the audience
and finding gold in failures.”
Waters moved to Lyttelton
from Wellington in 2022 and
immersed herself in the arts
scene.
“It’s full of really interesting
artists and the community spirit
here is just beautiful.”
Born in rural Queensland, the
41-year-old always had a taste for
performance art and travelled
the world to study under French

Canterbury and across New
Zealand during World War 1.
master clown Philippe Gaulier.
“I’ve become a teacher myself
and it’s a real gift being able to
help people flourish and step out
of their boundaries.”
Waters’ posse has found
inspiration in all-female clown
troupes from Canterbury’s
history.
“It’s really incredible to have
brought this to Lyttelton and
to be sort of stepping on the
shoulders of those who came
before.”

Heathcote city councillor Sara Templeton joined the Scarborough Dippers for the first day of Wet July on Monday.
Participants are encouraged to take to the water every day this month. ​
More funds for climate change
RATEPAYERS will bear the
brunt of a council decision to
put more money into the Long
Term Plan to help the city build
resilience to climate change.
Two options to invest the
additional funding were put
forward in the draft LTP 2024-
34, both of which were agreed by
councillors last week following
public consultation.
The additions will see $1.8
million in operational funding
brought forward for climate
adaptation work, to accelerate
coastal adaptation planning and
boost community preparedness.
Councillors also agreed to
establish a Climate Resilience
Fund, setting aside money
from 2025/26, to manage future
changes to city council assets.
Said Mayor Phil Mauger: “We
had a lot of feedback from the
community that they want to
see strong investment in climate
change mitigation. Our lowlying
coastal and inland parts of
Christchurch are going to be increasingly
impacted as sea levels
rise so it’s important that we start
preparing now.”
The additional investment will
mean a 0.25 per cent rates rise in
the first year of the fund, increasing
by 0.25 per cent for each year
of the LTP, resulting in a 2.25 per
cent rates increase by 2033/34.
By that time the fund could be as
high as $127 million.
The city council will also
undertake a range of projects to
help mitigate climate change over
the next decade.
Pop-up
dog park
falls flat
• By Dylan Smits
A POP-UP dog park for
Diamond Harbour has been
canned by the farmer who
leases the paddock.
Residents were planning on
using the Whero Ave paddock
on Sunday before Tom Magill
warned of the threat posed to
his livestock.
The farmer has dealt with
serious outbreaks of sheep
measles in his herd before,
which he says is caused by dogs
pooing on grazing land. Sheep
can get the disease by eating
dog poo, which in turn makes
them inedible.
“It can storm through your
animals, causing cysts on the
meat,” Magill said.
Residents agreed to cancel
the pop-up dog park after being
contacted by Magill over the
weekend.
“They should have asked
permission. Having dogs
running willy nilly all over that
paddock is not the greatest for
me,” he said.
There have long been calls for
an official dog park in Diamond
Harbour, but Magill believes
dog owners are already “spoiled
for choice” for walking options
in the area.

Pork belly and parsnips to beat the cold
The days are cold, the
nights even more so.
Time to share food that
will bolster us against
the weather; good things
to eat that will light up
the dark days of deepest
winter, bringing cheer and
conviviality, writes Nigel
Slater
Slow roast belly pork
with butter beans and
balsamic vinegar
A big dish this, with thick,
jagged slices of pork on the bone,
a pile of steaming butter beans
at their side. Save this for those
who positively relish sucking
and gnawing at rib bones and
chewing at crackling.
Ingredients
Serves 4
1.9kg pork belly, bones in, skin
scored
2 medium onions
2 medium carrots
2 stalks celery
3tbsp olive oil
6 sprigs rosemary
3 cloves garlic
375g tomatoes
500ml vegetable stock
1 x 700g jar butter beans or 2 x
400g tins
1tbsp balsamic vinegar
Method
• Take the pork out of the
fridge and leave it uncovered in a
cool place for an hour or so.
• Heat the oven to 220C fan.
Rub the pork with salt and place
it skin side up in a roasting tin.
Roast for 25 minutes or so till
the skin is a little puffed and
starting to crackle, then lower
the heat to 160C and cook for
about 1½ hours.
• Meanwhile, peel and
roughly chop the onions. Trim
the carrots, cut them in half
lengthways, then into short
pieces of about 1cm. Cut the
celery into pieces of a similar
size.
• Warm the oil in a medium to
large saucepan over a moderate
heat, add the onion, carrots
and celery, and leave to cook
for about 15 minutes, stirring
regularly, until the vegetables
are starting to soften. While
they cook, pull the leaves from
the rosemary sprigs and chop
them finely. Peel the garlic, slice
very thinly then stir, with the
rosemary, into the softening
vegetables and continue cooking.
• Roughly chop the tomatoes,
then add them to the pan,
stirring the mixture well. Once
the tomatoes have softened and
collapsed – a matter of 5-10
minutes – pour in the stock
and bring to the boil. Season
with salt and black pepper and
turn down the heat, leaving
everything to simmer for 10
minutes.
• Drain the beans and stir into
the vegetable mixture together
with the balsamic vinegar, then
set aside.
• When the pork has been
cooking for 1 hour, remove
briefly from the oven and
transfer the beans around the
meat, taking care not to get
any on the crackling. Continue
roasting for 30 minutes or until
the meat is tender.
Roast parsnips with honey
and ricotta
Glistening with honey, ricotta
and thyme, roast parsnips are
something to serve with slices
of cold roast meat or, as I did
the other day, with baked flat
mushrooms with tarragon
and lemon butter. You can
roast them without the initial
steaming, but that can result in
tougher, chewy parsnips. Better,
I think, to steam them first,
which results in a fluffy interior.
Ingredients
Enough for 4 as side dish
900g parsnips
30g butter
3tbsp olive or vegetable oil
3tbsp runny honey
1tbsp thyme leaves
100g ricotta
Method
• Get a pan of water on to
boil and have a steamer basket
or colander to hand. Peel the
parsnips, cut them in half and
then into short lengths, rather
like the size you do for roast
potatoes.
• Lower the parsnips into the
steamer basket, place it over the
boiling water and cover tightly
with a lid. Adjust the heat as
necessary to keep the water
boiling without boiling over,
and let the vegetables steam
for 20 minutes till approaching
tenderness.
• Set the oven at 210C fan.
Melt the butter and olive oil
in a roasting tin in the oven,
then add the steamed parsnips.
Toss them in the oil so they are
glistening, then roast for about
35-50 minutes till they are
golden and lightly crisp.
• Season the parsnips with
salt and black pepper, trickle the
honey over them, then return to
the oven for a further 7 minutes.
• Mix the thyme and ricotta
together. Place spoonfuls of the
cold ricotta on the hot, sizzling
parsnips and serve immediately.

We need your help to fill our beds.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has
23 beds for tamariki to stay during
times of whānau stress or crisis. On
average just 17 of these beds are filled
due to resourcing constraints.
Every empty bed is a missed
opportunity to support a child in need.
Donate today to give Canterbury
tamariki a safe place to sleep.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides
short term emergency or planned respite care
for tamariki when they need extra support due
to complications at home.
Cholmondeley is an independent charity
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from
the generous support of the Canterbury
community.
