10 Tuesday June 19 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Clark eyes up water polo champs in Hungary SPORTS • By Jacob Page CHRIST’S COLLEGE water polo exponent Louis Clark has been selected in the New Zealand team for the youth world championships in Hungary in August. The 16-year-old from Fendalton impressed selectors at a national selection camp in Auckland three weeks ago. “It was a new environment for me, those trials, and I was a little nervous to start with, but I felt better the longer it went and to be selected is such a huge honour,” he said. Clark said he followed his older brother into the sport at the start of high school and has loved it ever since. “I’ve always loved being physical in sports and water polo is like rugby in water,” he said. Clark also splits his time between competitive swimming and surf lifesaving at the Taylor’s Mistake club. Between his three sporting ambitions, he has 12 regular trainings a week which doesn’t leave room for much else. He said being able to have the right balance between power and agility was crucial for water polo. While Europe tends to dominate the scene, Clark said he and the rest of the New Zealand team are eager to test themselves against the world’s best. “It will be good to see where we are at and test ourselves against the best of what is out there,” he said. NOR’WEST NEWS PROUD KIWI: Louis Clark will head off to Hungary with the New Zealand youth water polo team in August. PHOTO: CANTERBURY WATER POLO The story behind Papanui’s Rayburn Ave Papanui Heritage Group chairman Murray Williams writes about Rayburn Ave RAYBURN AVE, formerly called Ingmire St, runs parallel to Papanui Rd between Paparoa St and Grants Rd. The street occupies an area originally carved out of rural sections 302 and 307. In 1913, 11 sections in a new housing development on Ingmire St were advertised in The Press. It was claimed that it was ‘the last block of land suitable for subdivision in the locality’ and that the new street was ‘properly made with concrete channelling and asphalt pavements.’ Perhaps the four years of war slowed building development, as in 1920 there were still building lots available in this street, but the coming decade saw a boom in the construction of new housing in south Papanui and Ingmire St was no exception. The Californian bungalow, characterised by street-facing double gables complemented with shingles, dominated in the 1920s, while in the next decade the elegant English bungalow HISTORY: A 1920s Californian bungalow on Rayburn Ave. with its hipped roof and more complex window joinery was popular. After the war, the more basic bungalow, developed by Paramount Homes, made an appearance at the north-eastern end of the street. It is possible that a change in the name of the street had added to its popularity as the northern end of Ingmire St had been notoriously swampy and, although drained before subdivision, its name had done little to inspire confidence in potential residents. In 1926, the street became Rayburn Ave, although in 1932 an article in The Press noted the apparent anomaly that the avenue was treeless. It is not clear when the planting occurred; unlike neighbouring Perry and Dormer St, Rayburn Ave was not a designated memorial street, a status which attracted kerb side planting after World War 2. The introduction of street-side trees to Rayburn Ave must have occurred between 1932 and 1943, the latter the date of a city council minute scheduling future tree planting in south Papanui streets where, it was noted, that ‘Rayburn Ave had already been done’. Today, Rayburn Ave is a pleasant and popular residential street. Many of the original houses have been modified but most of these enhancements have been sensitively designed and the street has maintained much of its original character. In 2016, Rayburn Ave was one of several in this neighbourhood to face the threat of reclassification to permit more intensive housing development. Eventually an independent hearing panel ruled against this application and hopefully the street will be able to retain its distinctive charm based on the well preserved timber bungalows that characterised the inter-war period. www.trainme.org.nz Gain NCEA Credits with the Ultimate career taster FREE * Enrolling NOW!
