GIVE BACK OUR 

WALKING FRAMES 

CHRISTCHURCH Hospital 

is making a plea for patients to 

return walking frames as stocks 

run low. 

Said Canterbury Allied Health 

director Jacqui Lunday Johnstone 

(right): “Anyone who has forgotten 

to return it – no matter how 

long ago – is asked to give it back, 

no questions asked.” 

She said as well as walking 

frames, the hospital wants any 

borrowed medical equipment to 

be returned. 

The same problem is also happening 

at Burwood Hospital. 

Johnstone said people can 

sometimes accidentally overlook 

equipment they’ve borrowed, or 

store it away and forget about it.

Summers 

sculpture 

set to 

land 

tomorrow 

• By Tony Simons 

A $95,000 sculpture created by 

the late Llew Summers is likely to 

be in place at Mt Pleasant in time 

for the fourth anniversary of his 

death. 

Flight (above) is due to be put 

on a bluestone base at the western 

end of the causeway 

on McCormacks Bay 

Rd next to the Mt 

Pleasant Community 

Centre by tomorrow. 

It will be a memorial 

to the artist who 

lived in the area. 

It will be covered 

until an official unveiling 

ceremony is arranged. 

Llew 

Summers 

Flight has been sitting at the Tai 

Tapu Sculpture Garden but centre 

manager Derek McCullough said 

the community has now raised 

enough money to take ownership 

of the piece. 

“They know we’re good for the 

rest,” he said. 

Summers, who died in 2019 

aged 72, carved Flight in 2014 

then upscaled it in bronze.

$95k sculpture set to mark 

anniversary of artist’s death 

•From page 1 

Summers’ funeral was held at the 

community centre. 

His art was sometimes controversial, 

with many of his pieces celebrating the 

naked human body and containing 

strong religious messages. 

Wings were a big part of his later works. 

Flight has a wingspan of more than 2m, 

and pays homage to the albatross. 

Mt Pleasant resident Lynne Ritchie said 

the community got the idea to buy the 

sculpture because he lived and worked in 

the area. 

He had many fans in Mt Pleasant and it 

seemed appropriate, Ritchie said. 

CREATION: 

Flight will 

be placed 

on a 

bluestone 

base next 

to the Mt 

Pleasant 

Community 

Centre by 

Friday as a 

memorial 

to artist 

Llew 

Summers. 

Keeping hospital 

property ‘depriving 

others in need’ 

•From page 1 

Said Johnstone: “However, this 

appears to have occurred too 

frequently as it’s deprived other 

patients in need of accessing 

such equipment or caused delays 

in their discharge from the 

hospital. 

“If we don’t get some of this 

equipment back, there will be an 

impact on discharges over the 

busy winter months. 

“If anyone has any equipment 

that’s sitting unused and unneeded 

in their home or garage, 

please return it to Christchurch 

GIVE BACK: 

If you 

still have 

hospital 

property 

such as 

crutches 

return 

them to 

Christchurch 

Hospital. 

PHOTO: 

GETTY 

or Burwood hospitals.” 

The call also applies to secondhand 

shops, which may have 

been donated equipment that 

belongs to Te Whatu Ora. 

Hospital officials are on the 

hunt for walking frames, shower 

stools, toilet frames, bed levers, 

crutches, pulse oximeters and 

any other hospital equipment 

ex-patients no longer need. 

People who still have 

property are asked to return the 

equipment at specific drop-off 

locations at Christchurch or 

Burwood hospitals. 

This is the second home Cameron and his team have sold for us and we 

continue to be impressed with his work ethic and positive attitude. He 

is Number One for a good reason. We felt completely looked after and 

supported throughout the campaign. 

Hire the best and sit back and enjoy the ride!

Grant supports new 

roof for The Malthouse 

ONE OF New Zealand’s oldest 

surviving malthouses will be 

preserved for future generations 

with the assistance of a $72,100 

heritage incentive grant. 

The Malthouse building in 

Colombo St, Beckenham, was 

constructed in 1869 and is the 

only known example of an intact, 

stand-alone malthouse in the 

country. 

It was purchased by the 

Canterbury Children’s Theatre 

in 1965 and has provided a home 

and venue for the group ever 

since. In addition, it is used by 

community groups and houses 

Malthouse Costumes. 

The building is scheduled as 

‘highly significant’ in the district 

plan and is listed by Heritage 

New Zealand Pouhere Taonga 

as a Category 2 historic place. 

A grant to support the 

replacement of the roof and 

repair the roof structure was 

approved last week by the city 

council. 

The grant will cover an 

estimated 50 per cent of the costs 

involved. The Malthouse Trust is 

seeking further funding from 

the Lottery Grants Board and 

crowd funding via a GiveaLittle 

page. 

The city council also approved 

a heritage incentive grant 

of $21,925 to the historic 1882 

Antigua Boat Sheds, for roof 

repairs and exterior repainting. 

HISTORIC: 

The 

Malthouse 

has received 

a $72,100 

heritage 

incentive 

grant, 

which will 

go towards 

replacing its 

roof. 

PHOTO: 

NEWSLINE 

The boat sheds have remained 

in use for boat hire for over 140 

years. 

An 1885 guide to Christchurch 

describes the Antigua Boat Sheds 

as “… the most complete in the 

colony. They have a landing stage 

with a frontage of 200 feet to the 

river, ladies’ waiting room and 

gentlemen’s dressing room, and 

besides all these easily house the 

38 boats …” 

“These two buildings are an 

important part of the city’s 

heritage fabric and social history, 

and they will hold a special 

place in the memories of many 

people,” said city council 

heritage team leader Brendan 

Smyth. 

Diverse input 

into city’s future 

FOR THE past two years 

Henry Jaiswal has been part of 

a multicultural committee that 

provides advice and feedback 

on the views, concerns and 

aspirations of the city’s diverse 

ethnic communities. 

“It’s really important that 

we have this voice within the 

Christchurch City Council, 

and have input from different 

cultures, especially from an 

engagement perspective,” said 

Jaiswal. 

“Christchurch is home to 

many diverse cultures, so we act 

as a conduit between these communities 

and the council.” 

Jaiswal is originally from 

India and came to New Zealand 

to study aircraft engineering. 

He met his Kiwi/French wife 

Anne here, and they are now 

raising their daughter in Beckenham. 

He was elected chair of the 

multicultural committee last

year, which meets every six 

weeks. 

“We are composed of around 

13 representatives from different 

ethnic backgrounds who 

volunteer their time. Currently 

there are more than 160 ethnicities 

in Christchurch, but 

we try to have representation 

from some of the major groups 

including Chinese, Indian, Filipino, 

Somalian, Afghani, Irish, 

Russian, Colombian,” he said. 

The multicultural advisory 

group is looking for five members 

to join it. 

The commitment is two hours 

every second month with the 

opportunity to provide advice 

based on lived experience.

confident in the communities they 

will take their place in and believe 

that education is a lot more than just 

learning facts and figures, or training 

for employment. The truths of God’s 

word address all areas of life and impact 

on our response to each child, be it; 

spiritual, academic, physical, social or 

emotional. We believe that our school 

offers pupils the significant benefits of 

a local school with a strong community 

and family environment. 

You may have heard about us, come 

see for yourself, call or email to meet 

the Principal. 

St Michael’s 

Is your child on track for high school? 

Will their intermediate school option offer 

their best preparation? How will you know? 

At St Michael’s, we know, and why. Our 

Year 7 & 8 teachers are subject specialists. 

With almost 50% of our timetable 

committed to English and Maths, your 

child’s essential foundations for secondary 

school are guaranteed. 

In our classes of 10-20, we know 

your child. We aim for every Year 8 to 

graduate up to 18 months ahead of Year 9 

expectations. 

This academic rigour underpins our 

wider curriculums in History, Geography, 

Science and Spanish. IT literacy is 

taught, not assumed, and computer use is 

measured. We like teaching and talking to 

our pupils! 

Specialist art and music classes 

are enjoyed weekly, and many pupils 

participate in individual itinerant lessons. 

Our several choirs, Stage Band and 

Orchestra perform regularly. Sporting and 

Inter-house events raise passions. 

Our senior programme, Parare, advances 

our Year 7 & 8 education outside the box, 

from financial literacy to new sports and 

outdoor ed; leadership challenges to civics 

and citizenship. 

To discover the best preparation for your 

child, you are warmly welcome to visit us 

at St Michael’s Church School. Every day is 

open day!
