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 />

professional and an absolute dream.<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 other artists completing<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 />

month.<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 />

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 />

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 />

recycling.<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 />

they can also provide innovative solutions<br />

tailored to differing requirements.<br />
