Poet living the dream<br />
at Arts Centre residency<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
CLAUDIA JARDINE is doing<br />
what many poets only dream of.<br />
She is being paid to write<br />
poetry and live in a space known<br />
for breeding creativity, The Arts<br />
Centre.<br />
The 25-year-old, who recently<br />
moved back home to Christchurch<br />
after studying classics at Victoria<br />
University of Wellington, is<br />
one of four artists selected for The<br />
Arts Centre’s Arts Four Creative<br />
Residency programme, between<br />
now and July. It is being funded<br />
with support from Creative New<br />
Zealand and the Stout Trust.<br />
The artists are living in the<br />
residence above Lumiere Cinema<br />
on Rolleston Ave, which opened<br />
in 2019.<br />
By the end of the 12 weeks, each<br />
artist will complete a project in<br />
their chosen art form.<br />
Jardine aims to complete her<br />
first full collection of poetry,<br />
which explores the themes of<br />
textile manufacture in the ancient<br />
world and the history of the<br />
women in her own family.<br />
A particular focus of her poetry<br />
will be on loom weights, a type<br />
of ancient weaving tool used to<br />
weigh down warp threads, which<br />
hung from looms.<br />

Rubbish bins that will cut down costs<br />
‘SMART’ BINS are being<br />
installed in community parks<br />
around Christchurch as the<br />
city council moves to reduce<br />
maintenance costs in the city’s<br />
public spaces.<br />
“We have been trialling smart<br />
bins in the Botanic<br />
Gardens,<br />
Hagley Park,<br />
Akaroa and other<br />
popular parks<br />
and attractions<br />
Andrew<br />
Rutledge<br />
around the<br />
city and Banks<br />
Peninsula for<br />
the past four<br />
years and they have proven a<br />
very successful and cost-effective<br />
way of managing waste,’’ says city<br />
council head of parks Andrew<br />
Rutledge.<br />
“As part of the city council’s efforts<br />
to keep costs down for ratepayers,<br />
we are now starting to<br />
install smart bins in our community<br />
parks. The switch to these<br />
smart bins will save ratepayers<br />
$300,000 a year because they<br />
need emptying less frequently<br />
than the old-style rubbish bins.’’<br />
The city council has banked<br />
the savings year-on-year to help<br />
keep annual rates increases<br />
down.<br />
Smart bins have a larger capacity<br />
and sensor technology which<br />
TIDY: One of the bins that are being introduced to Christchurch parks. PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
provides the city council’s maintenance<br />
contractor with daily<br />
data on how full each bin is. The<br />
data means the contractor only<br />
needs to send crews out to empty<br />
the bins when required, saving<br />
time and money.<br />
The smart bins are also<br />
more secure than traditional<br />
open top rubbish bins, which<br />
means that it is unlikely that<br />
rubbish will get disturbed by<br />
scavenging birds and rodents or<br />
blown around in strong winds.<br />
This should result in fewer litter<br />
complaints.<br />
“We are spending $830,000<br />
on installing the new smart bins<br />
but with the annual savings of<br />
$300,000 they will pay for themselves<br />
in three years,’’ Rutledge<br />
said.<br />
Community parks, with high<br />
levels of usage, such as those<br />
used for sport and open spaces<br />
such as beach fronts are being<br />
prioritised for the ‘smart’ bins.<br />
“Not all of the 840 old-style<br />
bins that we are taking out of<br />
parks will be replaced with a<br />
‘smart’ bin,’’ Rutledge said.<br />
“The majority of customer<br />
service requests we receive relate<br />
to litter dumping, most of which<br />
occurs when people place rubbish<br />
beside bins, and assume that<br />
is okay as someone will pick it<br />
up.<br />
“In parks and areas where we<br />
don’t have bins, or have very<br />
few bins, such as regional parks,<br />
issues associated with litter are<br />
minor,’’ Rutledge said.<br />
“In low use neighbourhood<br />
parks we will be removing<br />
litter bins entirely and instead<br />
encouraging people to take any<br />
rubbish home with them to<br />
dispose of in their red wheelie<br />
bin as part of our kerbside<br />
collection service.<br />
“People really bought into this<br />
approach during the Covid-19<br />
Lockdown when we asked<br />
people to ‘take it home’.<br />
“Just as people enjoying the<br />
great outdoors are encouraged<br />
by the Department of Conservation<br />
to carry out their rubbish<br />
in order to protect the environment,<br />
we want residents to help<br />
us keep our parks tidy by taking<br />
their rubbish home with them,’’<br />
Rutledge said.<br />
The roll-out of the new smart<br />
bins is expected to be completed<br />
in August.<br />
WE’LL HELP YOU NAVIGATE<br />
YOUR NEXT DESTINATION.<br />
Thanks so much for a great auction result.<br />
The whole process with you all has been so<br />

My advice to anyone is always employ the best and<br />
just let them do their thing.<br />

Textile traditions at heart<br />
of poet’s new creations<br />
• From page 1<br />
Jardine said: “My sort of<br />
research-poetic job is like a<br />
poetic essay on the loom weights<br />
research and how it relates to my<br />
own life and my own relationships<br />
with women in my family.<br />
“It’s highly likely that mothers<br />
were passing on loom weights to<br />
their daughters.<br />
“There are still these connotations<br />
around textile manufacture<br />
in the modern world as being<br />
sort of a woman-centric job, and<br />
it’s an interesting relationship to<br />
explore.”<br />
Jardine developed a passion for<br />
poetry as a student at Cashmere<br />
High School and said it is growing<br />
in popularity in Christchurch<br />
and New Zealand-wide.<br />
“I think that, although New<br />
Zealand has always had quite a<br />
rich writing scene, poetry in particular<br />
is really hot right now. I<br />
think more people are writing it,<br />
more people are appreciating it.”<br />
Jardine’s poems have been<br />
published before, including in<br />
Auckland University Press’s AUP<br />
New Poets 7, which was the number<br />
nine best selling book in New<br />
Zealand at one stage in August<br />
last year.<br />
Some of Claudia Jardine’s poems from AUP New Poets 7<br />
Sulpicia 3.16 – Nina Simone<br />
how nice it is<br />
your surrender to apathy<br />
me<br />
in decay<br />
let you have your harlots and<br />
their baskets<br />
pinned down in a pile of their<br />
own togas<br />
not this daughter of Servius<br />
sting of the pessimists<br />
fancy me giving in<br />
to a nameless bed<br />
Sulpicia 3.17 – Madonna<br />
surely surely<br />
your piety extends to the temple<br />
of your girl<br />
altars afire with fever?<br />
why choose to conquer<br />
wretched infection<br />
you not wishing it too<br />
what is the use in evisceration<br />
if you can stomach it<br />
heart unmoving?<br />
Jardine is also a accomplished<br />
musician, who released her first<br />
ep, North, in 2019.<br />

the residency are Jo Burzynska, a<br />

Get your tickets<br />
early for KidsFest<br />
IF THE prospect of keeping the<br />
kids entertained over the winter<br />
school holidays has you shaking<br />
in your boots, jump online<br />
now and get tickets sorted for<br />
KidsFest.<br />
The popular children’s festival<br />
has been keeping Christchurch<br />
kids occupied over the winter<br />
school holidays for the past three<br />
decades.<br />
Tickets for this year’s KidsFest<br />
are now available,<br />
While many of the events and<br />
activities during KidsFest are offered<br />
at no cost, tickets are often<br />
still required because of the limited<br />
amount of space available.<br />
“If you want to make sure<br />
you’ve got lots of activities lined<br />
up for the kids over the school<br />
holidays, I strongly advise you to<br />
get in early and secure tickets,’’<br />
says city council events and arts<br />
manager Tanya Cokojic.<br />
“If you leave booking tickets to<br />
the last minute, you might miss<br />
out because we expect there will<br />
be high demand for many of the<br />
events and activities that we have<br />
lined up over the course of the<br />
two week festival.’’<br />
Christchurch Symphony Orchestra’s<br />
presentation of Roald<br />
Dahl’s Little Red Riding Hood is<br />
FUN: Let your children<br />
immerse themselves in the<br />
world of helicopters at Air<br />
Force Museum.<br />
one of the events that could sellout<br />
fast. It is a musical adaptation<br />
of Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes.<br />
“Another event that we expect<br />
to spark large interest is the<br />
free helicopter fun day at Air<br />
Force Museum on July 21. Kids<br />
will be able to see real air force<br />
helicopters and climb aboard an<br />
Iroquois.<br />
“There will be craft activities<br />
for the kids and demonstrations<br />
of drones and radio controlled<br />
helicopters. Fortunately, this is<br />
one event that you don’t need to<br />
book for,’’ Cokojic said.<br />

said the $190,000 project<br />
was due for completion next<br />

The 2.5-3m wide, asphaltsealed<br />
path for pedestrians<br />
and cyclists, would match and<br />
link up with what Waka Kotahi<br />
NZ Transport Agency had<br />
provided from Rolleston –<br />
along Jones Rd up to Dawsons<br />

The construction project<br />
included safety fencing along the<br />
railway reserve boundary.<br />
The district council and city<br />
council plan for the cycleway<br />
to eventually connect with the<br />
South Express cycleway from<br />
Kirk Rd at Templeton, about<br />
580m away.<br />
Construction of the South<br />
Express cycleway, to run from<br />
Templeton to Hagley Park, is<br />
under way.<br />
City council acting head of<br />
transport Lynette Ellis said<br />
work was currently under way<br />
at the city end of the South<br />
Express.<br />
“Construction on the first section<br />
from Deans Ave to Craven<br />
St will be completed later this<br />
year and work will progress<br />
towards Templeton.<br />
TAKING<br />

Hagley Park.<br />
The cycleway is expected to<br />
be completed in late 2022 and<br />
will be just under 15km. How<br />
long that would take to cycle<br />
is dependent on a variety of<br />
factors,” Ellis said.

Using science and recycling as a way<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
RUDY KRAMERS considers<br />
himself a bit of a mad scientist.<br />
“I love blowing things up. I<br />
used to spend a lot of time at<br />
my kids’ school doing science<br />
demonstrations – the bigger the<br />
bang, the more excited they got.”<br />
For as long as he can remember,<br />
science and technology have<br />
run through his veins. And while<br />
most people shied away from live<br />
electricity, Kramers gravitated<br />
towards it.<br />
It is what made him the<br />
perfect fit to join the team at<br />
Molten Media Trust, a charity<br />
that promotes the ethical<br />
recycling of electronics by refurbishing<br />
devices destined for<br />
landfill.<br />
Said Kramers: “I love the idea<br />
of electrons running through<br />
a wire, you can’t see it, but you<br />
know it’s there. And if there’s<br />
enough of it, you can feel it, even<br />
if it means getting an electric<br />
shock.”<br />

to “almost nothing” during the<br />
lockdown as donations stopped<br />
flowing in.<br />
Excluding the trustees, there<br />
were only two staff on hand to<br />
process a massive backlog of<br />
electronics needing to be taken<br />
apart.<br />
Tasks like separating plastic<br />
away from steel were timeconsuming<br />
enough as it is.<br />
“Covid was the final nail in the<br />
coffin. Having the money to pay<br />
rent each month was the crux of<br />
whether the place was viable or<br />
not,” Kramers said.<br />
“Trying to sell stuff is getting<br />
harder because companies like<br />
PB Tech and Noel Leeming are<br />
selling stuff so much cheaper<br />
than they ever have.<br />
“We’d be lucky to get $50 for a<br />
second-hand TV.”<br />
Selling parts and refurbished<br />
devices to help cover funding<br />
shortfalls got more challenging<br />
because people were willing to<br />
pay less.<br />
“Metal prices are trending<br />
downwards,” said Kramers.<br />
“Countries like China who are<br />
big buyers of steel and scrap were<br />
paying less for it, so the amount<br />
of money we were getting from<br />
metal recyclers has [also] gone<br />
down.<br />
But following personal cash<br />
injections from the pockets of<br />
trustees, Kramers felt confident<br />
the trust can be self-sufficient<br />
again without relying on grants,<br />
which were hard to come by.<br />
His confidence derives from<br />
a place of wanting to see the<br />
charity succeed and a passion for<br />
sustainability, even if it did come<br />
with its frustrations.<br />

to look after the environment<br />
If only businesses took more<br />
steps to reduce waste by being<br />
actively involved in where it went<br />
next and ensuring products were<br />
made to last in the first place.<br />
Things like household appliances<br />
produced en masse to be<br />
sold in chain stores may lower<br />
the cost for consumers, but not<br />
the cost it has on the environment.<br />
Said Kramers: “I’m disappointed<br />
that we haven’t dealt with this<br />
sooner because it’s a problem that<br />
people have talked about for a<br />
long time, everyone keeps sweeping<br />
it into the too hard basket.<br />
“It blows me away what comes<br />
through the door, you can tell<br />
someone purchased it earlier in<br />
the year and it’s already in the<br />
bin.”<br />
Kramers channels this energy<br />
into educating the next generation<br />
the reason why organisations<br />
like Molten Media exist.<br />
He has been involved with the<br />
trust since its early days to enable<br />
better access to raw materials for<br />
this purpose.<br />
Along with teaching children<br />
how to code, the workshops allow<br />
them to experiment with recycled<br />
parts.<br />
It could be using a motor that<br />
used to power a printer – perfect<br />
for building robots.<br />
After all, they are the ones who<br />
have to deal with the waste later<br />
on, he said.<br />
“It gives kids an opportunity to<br />
see what happens to old computers<br />
when they die, and we can<br />
explain to them how much bad<br />
materials are inside them.<br />
“I think phones are one of<br />
the worst as far as the number<br />
of toxic chemicals that go into<br />
building it.<br />
“One of the things they enjoy<br />
the most is ripping something<br />
apart or throwing too many volts<br />
into something and finding out<br />
how much it takes before smoke<br />
comes out.”<br />
A portion of laptops and desktop<br />
computers are donated back<br />
to charities.<br />
This was something Kramers<br />
was proud of, particularly when<br />
helping vulnerable families have<br />
access to technology through a<br />
partnership with 0800 Hungry,<br />
Canterbury’s largest foodbank.<br />
But ultimately, the most rewarding<br />
part was when people<br />
SCRAPS:<br />
The Molten<br />
Media Trust<br />
promotes<br />
ethical<br />
recycling of<br />
electronic<br />
equipment<br />
and last year,<br />
it diverted<br />
30 tonnes of<br />
waste away<br />
from landfill.<br />
made an effort to reuse waste.<br />
“I really like that side of it<br />
where people come in and want<br />
to do the right thing,” said Kramers.<br />
Even though he was “spreading<br />
himself a bit thin” juggling a day<br />
job, raising three children with<br />
his wife and helping the trust<br />
survive, he enjoyed what he did<br />
more than he ever has.<br />
What kept him going was the<br />
ability to combine his love of<br />
building electronics with giving<br />
‘It gives kids an<br />
opportunity to see<br />
what happens to old<br />
computers when they die’<br />
– Rudy Kramers<br />
back to the community.<br />
A fascination with artificial<br />
intelligence meant his latest project<br />
was building a robot, but that<br />
was still a work in progress.<br />
In the meantime, Kramers had<br />
a few simple messages to consumers<br />
about the power they had<br />
to instil change.<br />
“When you’re buying something<br />
always go for the next<br />
model up, never go for the cheapest<br />
item. It will find itself in our<br />
waste stream much quicker,” he<br />
said.<br />
“More pressure on the council<br />
on what they’re doing about<br />
waste minimisation would hopefully<br />
mean people like us are<br />
brought to the forefront.”<br />
•If you want to donate<br />
electronics, phone the<br />
trust on 377 1154 or email<br />
dispatch@molten.org.nz in<br />
the first instance. There is<br />
usually a minimum charge<br />
of $5 depending on what is<br />
being received to help the<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />
without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />
you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />
become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

Ground moisture barrier<br />
under low sub-floor<br />
Now with the colder and wetter weather on<br />
its way, home owners are focusing on ways<br />
to make their homes comfortable, warm<br />
and healthy for their families throughout<br />
winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects<br />
many of our older properties which suffer<br />
from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier.<br />
In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many<br />
people have relocated to homes that suffer<br />
from rising damp which can be associated<br />
with health problems. Independent tests have<br />
shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise<br />
from the ground and enter a house every day,<br />
leading to mildew, mould, condensation and<br />
musty smells. Moulds can produce various<br />
allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and<br />
very young are especially vulnerable.<br />
Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a<br />
locally owned and operated firm. The team<br />
understands the problems caused by rising<br />
damp and are there to help. They will come<br />
to your damp home and pump a lightweight,<br />
flowable foam concrete under your timber<br />
floored home.<br />
While insulation is important, it has been<br />
recognised that it is dampness that is the real<br />
villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes<br />
Standards introduced by the government<br />
effective from the 1st July 2019 now has<br />
a requirement to install ground moisture<br />
barriers, a key element in the armory to fight<br />
moisture in the home.<br />
Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a<br />
report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under<br />
Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed<br />
the effects of placing Foam Concrete over<br />
damp soil and had this to say: Condensation<br />
on the underside of a timber floor can occur<br />
where the floor is suspended over damp<br />
ground and the inside air temperature falls<br />
close to the crawl space air temperature.<br />
Much energy is required to vaporize moisture<br />
that penetrates the structure. By avoiding<br />
underfloor condensation, foam concrete can<br />
reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%.<br />
• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most<br />
cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier<br />
under the suspended wooden floor of your<br />
home, even when there is no crawl space.<br />

The importance<br />
of air quality<br />
The quality of the air we breathe affects<br />
our health and ability to perform. We<br />
breathe in and out approximately 20,000<br />
litres of air every day. It is therefore very<br />
important to ensure good air quality<br />
indoors through adequate ventilation.<br />
Ventilation is the process of air exchange<br />
to provide the necessary air quality that<br />
meets the needs of the occupants for clean,<br />
fresh air. Low oxygen with high carbon<br />
dioxide causes stuffiness in the room<br />
and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible<br />
harmful substances like a high content<br />
of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful<br />
and can cause various diseases. Even bad<br />
smells can cause discomfort or irritate the<br />
nervous system.<br />
In summer, it’s easy to open windows<br />
for cross ventilation, however as winter<br />
approaches, we start to shut up out houses<br />
to trap in the heat and as a<br />
result, air quality can decline.<br />
Ventilation includes both<br />
the exchange of air to the<br />
outside as well as circulation<br />
of air within the building. It<br />
is one of the most important<br />
factors for maintaining<br />
acceptable indoor air quality<br />
in buildings. Filtered air<br />
supply for summer and<br />
filtered and warmed air in<br />
winter creates a healthy<br />
environment in which to live<br />
and work. In cases with poor<br />
or insufficient air intake from<br />
outside, the oxygen content decreases,<br />
humidity and dustiness levels increase. If<br />
exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is<br />
not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity<br />
and harmful substances are not removed.<br />
To ensure the quality of your air, contact<br />
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can<br />
calculate the required air exchange for<br />
your building requirement. Smooth-<br />
Air offers a wide range of ventilation<br />
equipment, from air vents to ducting<br />
for fans, for both the commercial and<br />
domestic markets.<br />
They have an extensive range of fans<br />
