News 2 Ashburton Guardian Thursday, November 21, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Storm smashes way into Mid Canty BY SUSAN SANDYS [email protected] Stormy weather made a spectac- ular entrance into Mid Canter- bury yesterday, smashing roofs, toppling trees and leaving the district white in its wake. “She was pretty intense,” said Hinds Mechanical manager Ian King, where hail smashed through clearlight roofing about 1.45pm, bouncing into the work- shop. It also dented a couple of vehicles on site. “It was noisy,” King added. As hailstones the size of golf balls were reported from Hinds, the thunderstorm began to arrive in Ashburton. It was just two days after similarly stormy weather on Monday about midday. Yesterday’s storm was much more furious, and slowed the CBD almost to a standstill as shoppers sheltered from the icy stones pummelling down with deafening force.

  • From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition
    From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition GEOFF WATSON Abstract Formerly rather uniform in pattern, sporting biographies have evolved significantly since the 1970s, becoming much more open in their criticism of teammates and administrators as well as being more revealing of their subject’s private lives. This article identifies three transitional phases in the genre; a chronological era, extending from the early twentieth century until the 1960s; an indirectly confessional phase between the 1970s and mid 1980s and an openly confessional phase from the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, sporting biographies continue to reinforce the dominant narratives around sport in New Zealand. New Zealand sporting biographies have a mixed reputation in literary and scholarly circles. Often denigrated for their allegedly formulaic style, they have also been criticised for their lack of insight into New Zealand society.1 Representative of this critique is Lloyd Jones, who wrote in 1999, “sport hardly earns a mention in our wider literature, and … the rest of society is rarely, if ever, admitted to our sports literature.”2 This article examines this perspective, arguing that sporting biographies afford a valuable insight into New Zealand’s changing self- image and values. Moreover, it will be argued that the nature of sporting biographies themselves has changed significantly since the 1980s and that they have become much more open in their discussion of teammates and the personal lives of their subjects. Whatever one’s perspective on the literary merits of sporting biographies, their popular appeal is undeniable. Whereas the print run of most scholarly texts in New Zealand is at best a few thousand, sporting biographies consistently sell in the tens of thousands.
