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

Funding<br />
boost to<br />
help city<br />
prepare for<br />
climate<br />
change<br />
RATEPAYERS will bear the brunt<br />
of a council decision to put more<br />
money into the Long Term Plan<br />
to help the city build resilience to<br />
climate change.<br />
Two options to invest the<br />
additional funding were put<br />
forward in the draft LTP <strong>2024</strong>-34,<br />
both of which were agreed by<br />
councillors last week following<br />
public consultation.<br />
An extra $1.8 million in<br />
operational funding has been<br />
brought forward for climate<br />
adaptation work to reduce<br />
flooding and boost community<br />
preparedness.<br />
Councillors also agreed to<br />
establish a climate resilience fund<br />
to manage future changes to city<br />
council assets.<br />
The additional investment<br />
will mean a 0.25 per cent rates<br />
increase in the first year of the<br />
fund. This will rise by 0.25 per<br />
cent for each year of the LTP. It<br />
will lead to a 2.25 per cent rates<br />
increase by 2033/34, at which time<br />
the fund could contain up to $127<br />
million.<br />
This fund may be used to move<br />
or raise roads considered to be a<br />
lifeline for the community, protect<br />
water infrastructure, and ensure<br />
facilities exposed to hazards are<br />
more resilient.<br />

‘Loud, naughty and disruptive’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Attendees are encouraged to<br />
dress up and watch the parade of<br />
performers followed by a dance<br />
party.<br />
The festival promises 16 days<br />
of theatre, dance and exhibitions<br />
for audiences of all ages at venues<br />
throughout Lyttelton.<br />
Artists like Lyttelton<br />
multi-instrumentalist Carmel<br />
Courtney and Queenstownbased<br />
juggler Paul Klaass are part<br />
of the line-up.<br />
Under Waters’ tutelage, 22<br />
women and non-binary people<br />
have been learning the art of<br />
clowning through a feminist<br />
lens at the Lyttelton Recreation<br />
Centre.<br />
“The clown scene internationally<br />
is quite male dominated, so I<br />
was very interested in empowering<br />
other voices.”<br />
She has more than a decade of<br />
experience in creating acclaimed<br />
comedy, theatre and short films<br />
which have played to sell-out<br />
crowds in Australia and the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
Waters has found traditional<br />
clown training to be restrictive,<br />
with women typically limited to<br />
feminine and sidekick roles.<br />
“There’s the idea that women<br />
always had to be quite small<br />
and pretty and quirky. I’m<br />
quite interested in taking up<br />
some space and being loud and<br />
naughty and disruptive,” she said.<br />
The posse ranges in age from<br />
GIGGLES AND GAGS: The Feminist Clown Posse is a Lyttelton-based troupe focused on<br />
learning the jester arts through a progressive lens.<br />
early 20s to those in their 60s,<br />
with some being experienced<br />
performers and others complete<br />
novices.<br />
“It’s all about embracing who<br />
you are and then whatever<br />
silliness you have in your core<br />
will shine.”<br />
The posse has attracted<br />
wannabe clowns from Banks<br />
Peninsula and Christchurch, who<br />
have been training together since<br />
February.<br />
Their LytFest show will feature<br />
various skits, gags and crowd<br />
interaction.<br />
“It’s all very based in that<br />
connection with the audience<br />
and finding gold in failures.”<br />
Waters moved to Lyttelton<br />
from Wellington in 2022 and<br />
immersed herself in the arts<br />
scene.<br />
“It’s full of really interesting<br />
artists and the community spirit<br />
here is just beautiful.”<br />
Born in rural Queensland, the<br />
41-year-old always had a taste for<br />
performance art and travelled<br />
the world to study under French<br />
LEGACY: An all-female clown<br />
troupe from Christchurch,<br />
pictured in 1918. A Pierrot<br />
Troupe was a group of<br />
entertainers who performed<br />
fundraising variety shows in<br />
Canterbury and across New<br />
Zealand during World War 1.<br />
master clown Philippe Gaulier.<br />
“I’ve become a teacher myself<br />
and it’s a real gift being able to<br />
help people flourish and step out<br />
of their boundaries.”<br />
Waters’ posse has found<br />
inspiration in all-female clown<br />
troupes from Canterbury’s<br />
history.<br />
“It’s really incredible to have<br />
brought this to Lyttelton and<br />
to be sort of stepping on the<br />
shoulders of those who came<br />
before.”<br />

for all the LytFest shows are<br />

Police, students keep it reel on fishing day<br />
IT WAS A DAY out of the<br />
classroom but there was still<br />
plenty of learning at Blue Light<br />
Canterbury’s recent Kids Gone<br />
Fishin’ day.<br />
On a clear but frosty morning<br />
at Lake Roto Kohatu, a group of<br />
year 7 and 8 pupils from Te Kura<br />
Mareko Casebrook Intermediate<br />
School got the chance to learn<br />
new skills.<br />
The idea behind the event is to<br />
empower children by introducing<br />
them to new skills and providing<br />
an opportunity to interact with<br />
police and help break down<br />
barriers.<br />
The day started with a health<br />
and safety briefing and the lastminute<br />
addition of some extra<br />
layers of clothing.<br />
Fishing expert Hamish<br />
Bilcliff, from Hunting &<br />
Fishing (Ballingers), introduced<br />
different methods of fishing and<br />
demonstrated how to set up a<br />
rod.<br />
The pupils then set off to put<br />
what they’d learned into practice.<br />
They used a range of fishing<br />
methods including spin/lure<br />
fishing and bait casting.<br />
There were more trees caught<br />
than fish, but it allowed the adults<br />
to put their stretching skills to the<br />
test to unhook wayward casts.<br />
Lunch was a sausage sizzle to<br />
keep bodies warm and spirits up.<br />
Although only one trout was<br />
caught (and released due to<br />
being under-sized), the event was<br />
branded a success by all involved.<br />
WAITING GAME: Acting Sergeant Andrew Eastwick and one of the Casebrook pupils practising the art of patience.<br />

FISH FUN: While only a solitary trout was caught, Blue Light Canterbury’s Kids Gone Fishin’ day was a great opportunity<br />
for pupils to interact with police and get useful fishing tips.<br />

Burnside High School wins<br />
Showquest <strong>2024</strong>!!!<br />
On Thursday 20th June, BHS alongside several other schools,<br />
performed in the annual Showquest competition – and won! We<br />
also won Best Props, Best Original Composition and Best Use<br />
of Video Wall. The school spirit and pride was at the forefront<br />
of the performance, and the students involved were incredible<br />
ambassadors for our school -<br />
despite being at the Town Hall for<br />
over thirteen hours.<br />
A huge thank-you to the staff<br />
involved: Amanda Gillespie, Lara<br />
Grocott, Megan Queree, Caroline<br />
Ford, Rachaelle Stidder, Allie Hennig<br />
and Katerina Papageoriou who all<br />
helped make this a great experience<br />
for the students involved.<br />
Table Tennis - South Island<br />
Teams Championships<br />
Congratulations to Derrick Wong<br />
(11SCTH) and Kevin He (11NKTA) who<br />
were members of the three person<br />
Canterbury Boys U19 team, who won<br />
the South Island Boys U19 teams title<br />
on the 1st of June.<br />
Derrick was the team captain, with<br />
their team achieving a 12-0 win to loss<br />
ratio.<br />
Ashburton College Winter<br />
Sports Exchange<br />
Burnside High School won the trophy again this year, on Tuesday<br />
11 June, after a tight contest over many sports.<br />
A fabulous day was had by all down<br />
in Ashburton on Tuesday 11 June.<br />
After driving down in the drizzle,<br />
the weather became clear and<br />
sunny for all the sport to proceed.<br />
160 students travelled down on<br />
three buses and three minivans<br />
for a big day of sports at various<br />
venues in Ashburton.<br />
The amazing EA Networks Centre<br />
hosted the Badminton, Netball and<br />
Basketball games, the Ashburton<br />
Domain held the Football and<br />
Hockey games, and the Celtic Rugby Club hosted the Boys U15<br />
game there. The Golf was played at the Ashburton Golf Club.<br />
BHS held onto the trophy for another year! But it was close, a<br />
draw in the end - but because we won the trophy last year, we get<br />
to hold it for another year.<br />
Pukehinau Opens<br />
Burnside High wins the Canterbury<br />
Schools Programming Contest<br />
Burnside High School sent fifteen teams to the annual Canterbury<br />
Schools Programming Contest,<br />
held at the University of<br />
Canterbury on Saturday 22nd<br />
June.<br />
The contest was attended by over<br />
ninety students from ten schools<br />
around the region and was one of<br />
the biggest in recent years, filling<br />
two labs at the University.<br />
The competition requires<br />
participants to write code to solve<br />
a series of increasingly complex problems over three hours, and<br />
the top problems are often more complex than you would find<br />
in most university algorithms courses. Former winners of these<br />
competitions have often gone on to represent New Zealand for<br />
programming.<br />
The top honours went to Leon Wu and Miles McGrath who<br />
managed to answer all but one question in the time limit.<br />
They were very closely followed by another Burnside team<br />
consisting of Cameron Martin and Aditya Bansal who were only a<br />
few points behind.<br />
Our new twenty-four<br />
Classroom Science<br />
and Technology block<br />
Pukehinau will be<br />
ready for us at the<br />
start of Term 3. Staff<br />
have already started<br />
to move items into the<br />
building and are very<br />
excited to be teaching<br />
in the new spaces.<br />

More money allocated to<br />
help fight climate change<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Mayor Phil Mauger:<br />
“We had a lot of<br />
feedback<br />
from the community<br />
that<br />
they want to see<br />
strong investment<br />
in climate change<br />
mitigation.<br />
“Our low-lying<br />
coastal and<br />
inland parts<br />
Phil<br />
Mauger<br />
of Christchurch are going to be<br />
increasingly impacted as sea levels<br />
rise so it’s important that we start<br />
preparing now.”<br />
The council will also under take<br />
a range of projects to help mitigate<br />
climate change over the next 10<br />
years.<br />
It includes spending $101<br />
million on public transport infrastructure<br />
and bus route reliability,<br />
supporting the ongoing development<br />
of cycling infrastructure<br />
across the city with $199 million<br />
for the Major Cycleway Network<br />
and increasing tree coverage and<br />
canopy through delivery of the<br />
$18 million Urban Forest Plan.<br />
More than $1 billion has also<br />
been allocated to projects that will<br />
improve waterways, reduce flood<br />
risk and support the development<br />

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

Now firmly established as one of<br />
Halswell’s most popular takeaway<br />
food outlets, Souvlaki King offers an<br />
extensive range of authentic Middle<br />
Eastern food that’s fresh, healthy and<br />

scrumptious hot chips with lamb,<br />
beef, chicken, falafel or mixed, topped<br />
with aioli, cheese and barbeque sauce<br />

Shawarma, which is a tortilla roll filled<br />
with meat, vegetarian falafel, and<br />
topped with aioli, or your choice of<br />
barbeque or chilli sauce.<br />

popular for lunch, the business<br />
owners say.<br />
The souvlakis are available in<br />
three portion sizes – small, large<br />
or triple, with a choice of chicken,<br />
lamb, beef, kofta or falafel and served<br />
with coleslaw, lettuce, aioli, tzatziki,<br />
hummus and your choice<br />
of chilli or barbeque sauce.<br />
The falafel is freshly<br />
prepared every day to their<br />
own secret recipe, and is<br />
another very popular item,<br />
even for non-vegetarian<br />
customers, and all the salads<br />
and sauces are prepared on the<br />
premises every day.<br />
Gluten-free options are also<br />
available.<br />
Souvlaki King try to source the<br />
ingredients locally where possible<br />
to ensure freshness and quality.<br />
For a sweet taste, they offer the<br />

Hybrid the jewel in the Qashqai crown<br />
IT’S FASCINATING to look back<br />
at new models launched here 18<br />
months ago that were touted as<br />
having the ability to shake and stir<br />
our market, to see if they delivered<br />
on those expectations.<br />
One of these vehicles is the<br />
latest dapper looking new Qashqai<br />
compact urban SUV, with a<br />
creative fuel saving low emission<br />
hybrid power train and host of<br />
safety connectivity technology.<br />
You do get more Qashqai<br />
for your dollar with this latest<br />
iteration bigger across the board.<br />
It’s 4425mm long (+31mm),<br />
1625mm tall (+30mm), and<br />
1835mm wide (+29mm), while the<br />
wheelbase has grown to 2665mm<br />
(+19mm).<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
There’s are some interesting<br />
variations that add more variety in<br />
the powertrain department, with<br />
a pint sized but punchy 1.3-litre<br />
turbo petrol, and the option of<br />
Nissan’s innovative e-POWER<br />
hybrid system. The latter carries a<br />
hefty $7k price premium over the<br />
turbo petrol motor.<br />
Petrol not e-Power dominates<br />
the six strong model range<br />
comprising four petrol variants<br />
starting with the price leading<br />
$46,120 ST and tracking through<br />
to $57,120. The more exclusive<br />
e-Power hybrid club is limited to<br />
the upmarket Ti and Ti-L priced at<br />
$60,120 and $65,120 respectively.<br />
The Ti-L e-Power was chosen for<br />
this road test.<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build Quality<br />
7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 6; Styling 8; Value<br />
for money 5; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 7<br />
Most hybrid systems use an<br />
electric motor and a petrol engine<br />
to drive their wheels. Nissan’s<br />
e-Power turns that notion on its<br />
head with its wheels powered<br />
exclusively by an electric motor.<br />
The second-generation e-Power<br />
technology in the Qashqai is the<br />
same as the Nissan X-Trail, and<br />
turns up to work and play with<br />
effortless acceleration and refined<br />
performance.<br />
It’s a strong high-energy<br />
performer with 140kW of power<br />
and 330Nm of torque taking<br />
charge and doing everything so<br />
effortlessly. Thanks to the pure<br />
electric motor, there’s none of<br />
the power-delivery hesitancy<br />
associated with an internal<br />
combustion engine or traditional<br />
hybrid systems – just seamless and<br />
seemingly endless get up and go.<br />
In the lighter Qashqai, the<br />
power-to-weight ratio is more<br />
favourable than the heftier X-Trail<br />
giving it a noticeable performance<br />
edge. A CVT (Constant Variable<br />
Transmission) offers improved<br />
fuel economy thanks to better<br />
ratio coverage that reduces both<br />
friction, and the vehicle’s appetite<br />
for fuel.<br />
For a compact urban SUV it is<br />
roomier than most with plenty<br />
of passenger and load space. The<br />
Ti-L supplied for this road test is<br />
the jewel in the Qashqai crown<br />
that dazzles and seduces with a<br />
bevy of luxury features. There’s a<br />
Panoramic Glass Roof and electric<br />
sunshade, a black headliner and<br />
ambient interior lighting. Cabin<br />
technology features a 10.8-inch<br />
colour head-up display, and a<br />
premium 10-speaker Bose audio<br />
system. The seats are made of<br />
3D quilted premium leather that<br />
would look more at home on the<br />
luxury furniture in gentrified<br />
country manor.<br />
The Qashqai has the<br />
handling jump on several of its<br />
competitors with Nissan opting<br />
for an advanced multi-link rear<br />
suspension.<br />
I saw the benefits of this<br />
suspension arrangement when the<br />
test car was navigating badly worn<br />
and uneven road surfaces. The<br />
upside with this suspension set-up<br />
is a stronger connection between<br />
driver, vehicle and road – what<br />
more could you possible want?<br />
Well-controlled body-roll, and<br />
the effective ousting of road noise<br />
and vibrations from the passenger<br />
compartment are impressive.<br />
If you had to be picky, the<br />
steering, even with it revised ratios<br />
offering quicker corner turn-in<br />
response, still doesn’t feel as well<br />
resolved as rest of the vehicle.<br />
