WESTERN NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday October 2 2018 11 News Mike ready to slide off to L.A • By Anan Zaki ST JOHN of God care facility resident Mike L.A hopes a new waterslide will take him all the way to Los Angeles. Mr L.A, which is his real name, is excited about the 80m waterslide at the Halswell care home, where he resides. He changed his surname from Bruce to L.A by deed poll two years ago due to his love for the United States city, where he has been five times. The waterslide was inspired by St John of God’s smaller 20m waterslide last summer, which was only open for residents. “I went airborne last time. This time it might take me to LAX [airport],” Mr L.A said. But he said his backside may be a bit sore once he lands. St John of God is a care facility for people with physical and neurological disabilities. Mr L.A moved into the facility after suffering a heart attack, which left him with physical disabilities. St John of God Trust acting national manager for fundraising and marketing Nigel Matthews is aiming SLIDING: St John of God resident Mike L.A on the site for the waterslide with St John of God acting national manager for fundraising and marketing Nigel Matthews. to open the waterslide by Christmas. The project started in July and will cost about $9000, which will all be covered by donations. St John of God plans to invite schools in the area to use the slide. “Being able to invite them in gives the benefit to not only the community but also to our residents to see the fun that others are having with it. “Then we’ll also have our own opportunity to be able to put residents on the slide and let them experience things you and I take for granted,” Mr Matthews said. St John of God also wants other disability care providers to utilise the waterslide for events or fundraisers. Construction company HEB donated digger services to carve soil out for the slide. “So it’s created a downhill ramp which we we’re going to continue on to an 80m slide out the back of our care facility. “We’re currently talking to Fulton Hogan to help us with the safety netting to make sure there’s a non-slip walkway to the top of the ramp,” Mr Matthews said. The slide itself would either be made from black polythene or a purpose-built inflatable slide. “It [inflatable slide] would be the ideal end goal as it will allow us to be able to install it quickly.” The trust is yet to decide what material the slide will be made from, but that is not what’s important, Mr Matthews said. “We want to make sure the community can come in and interact with residents.” The waterslide won’t be permanent, but St John of God is yet to decide how long it will run for.
