14 Tuesday October 2 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi • By Zahra Shahtahmasebi THERE’S A history behind Lyndon McKendry’s referee whistle. It was originally her father’s. He started refereeing in 1958 before passing down the little silver device to McKendry. It has now been in action for about 60 years. McKendry is the Canterbury Rugby Football Union’s referee education officer. Like her, she says women who grew up watching their fathers control rugby games often pursued a refereeing career. In spite of this, in the Canterbury region there are only four female referees out of a total 200. As the referee education officer at the Canterbury Rugby Football Union, McKendry’s responsibilities include recruitment training and development for all referees from Cheviot through to Dunsandel. She says the CRFU would love to see more females picking up a whistle. “Rugby is a game for everyone – gender shouldn’t SPORTS Gymnastic siblings head to national champs •From page 1 Due to Sian’s heavy training commitments, she attends Prosilio for 3.5 hours a day, which is part of the Ao Tawhiti School. It allows her to study around her training schedule. Luke and Cole attend Burnside High School. Sian won the allround title in her level at the Singapore Prime Invitational last year. She also took home a title at last year’s New Zealand nationals. She has recovered from a broken foot just in time for the New Zealand championships. “The preparation hasn’t been ideal with my broken foot slowing me down, especially since I kept training on it for three weeks before being diagnosed,” she said. Luke is a level eight gymnast and is the Lyndon McKendry TALENTED: Luke, Sian and Cole Stevens at the Christchurch School of Gymnastics. Canterbury champion for his level and has represented Canterbury for the past five years. He is also coaching junior gymnasts. Cole finished second at the Canterbury senior gymnastic competition Encouraging women to become rugby refs be a barrier,” said McKendry. To increase female involvement next year, the CRFU plans to target women who have played this year, as well as former players. It will also emphasise the introductory referee programme You Make The Call, which offers participants eight level three NCEA credits in Christchurch schools, particularly girlsonly schools. McKendry says there were many reasons why men and women chose not to referee, such as work and family commitments or feeling like they didn’t know enough about the game. Koini Buli, one of the four female referees in Canterbury, said being a referee was tough. She still gets nervous before a match, especially “if it’s going to be a hell of a game.” She says many people didn’t understand that a referee was actually an athlete. Buli trains two to three times a week with a mixture of cardio and in August and won the pommel horse and parallel bars. Both Cole and Luke hope to make the finals in at least one apparatus at the New Zealand championships. Cole helps his brother to coach junior gymnasts. weight sessions. “It’s a full-time job. You’ve got to train right, eat right, and prepare yourself mentally and strategically.” Buli has been hassled by players and spectators as a referee but said this was part and parcel of the game, regardless of whether the referee was male or female. “They don’t expect you to know anything. A lot of the time it comes down to their age rather than their gender,” said Buli. As a referee, Buli has travelled the world, including to Russia for the women’s sevens World Cup in 2013. She would love to referee test rugby one day and aspires to take the field alongside the Black Ferns with her whistle in hand. “If you can’t get into the provincial rugby teams, you can make it as a referee. It’s not any less of a position to be in.” With the likes of former Black Fern Rebecca Mahoney now refereeing the men’s Mitre 10 Cup, there might soon come a day when we see a female refereeing in the rugby World Cup.

Nutritional researchers have discovered a range of nutrients that are essential for eye health. Some of the most essential nutrients that have been shown to protect and even improve eye function are: Selenium, is a trace mineral that is low in N.Z. soils and therefore in many of our foods. Researchers believe selenium may help prevent cataracts, macular degeneration (the leading cause of impaired vision in older people) and may also improve dry eyes and general eye health. Zinc is a mineral that a large percentage of the population are low in. Zinc has been shown to help protect the eyes from the damaging effects of light as well as slow vision loss due to macular degeneration. Vitamin C, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Betacarotene (Pro-vitamin A) and Copper have potent antioxidant ability and help protect the eyes from damage Lutein and Zeaxanthin are amazing nutrients that have been shown in landmark research to not only provide potent eye protection but may even help reverse some of the signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Bilberry and Blackcurrant, high in potent antioxidants may help protect the lens and retina from damage and reduce the risk of cataracts.
