from the Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital emergency staff about this year Crazy Boat Race During ihe April fi event there were poor weather making It a cold and windy day or participants and spectators The high water level and fast current made it more difficult for boats to Ihe Credit River course in Glen Williams The chilling waters of the Credit River two weeks ago made ll hard to stay warm if you fell overboard during the annual Boat Race A spectator has voiced an opinion on the lack of supervision relating to the participants and traffic during the event People needing help from capsized boats an ambulance unable to reach two men and alcohol consumption were mentioned as concerns during the race The Herald received a letter from RE Bourns who was on call during the race and helped treat six victims of hypothermia as a result of the annual event Bourns is chairman of the GDMH emergency department committee The hypothermia cases I saw were not that much to worry about but when drinking is involved you re just asking for a more serious health problem Bourns said publicity chairman Jack said he drinking seems part of the tradition of the race He said for most people it warms them up a bit and builds up their courage but he admitted some participants tend to overdo It Bourns said alcohol doesn work like ami freeze but rather the opposite Hypothermia causes confusion and impair men which has the same result as alcohol My concern is their participants getting an incrcos risk in combining the two and they re more difficult to treat he said chairman of the Crazy Boat Race said organization has taken the community concerns very seriously The arc as concerned as the community There be strong recommendation made and action taken on them he said Mr said there would be some drastic changes for next year race On a positive note Mr said just under 800 was raised for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and an additional will be donated lo a local charity from the dance proceeds Mr said oil participants in trie race sign a waiver form prior lo the race accepting responsibility for their actions He said the form clearly states there should be no alcohol consumption at the race Other than telling ihem the racers to dress properly they re people who should know better he said Bourns said by treating the Crazy Boat Race victims the hospital was not in a position to adequately receive possible emergency patients and would have had to implement a minor disaster plan had a number of other emergencies arisen He said three or four hypothermia victims from the race were intoxicated by alcohol which led to the six rooms in the emergency department being in use for least minutes Any professional organization running such an event has tremendous responsibility They re Georgetown liable and don feel they should allow Intoxicated people participate Bourn said Mr said the have shorten ihe race in recenl years and have kept the route close to road access as safety precautions He said 30 individuals were on patrol during Ihe race and mobile radios were in use for communication There were three radio equipped vehicles along he route two St John s Ambulance attendants In Glen Kail and a member of the St John in a canoe on the route he said Mr said the weather conditions got worse as the race time drew near but sold it is very difficult
