<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>WELL IT WOULD APPEAR THAT WE HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF
OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>FROM MARSHALS CHOICE TO REQUIRING THE MINOR TO
CARRY HIS MEDICAL HISTORY WITH HIM . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> IN THIS INSTANCE , </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>IN TODAY'S WORLD , UNDER THE CURRENT RULES OF THE
SCA, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF EVERYONE CONCERNED (
MARSHAL,MINOR,PARENT, SCA ) THAT THE PARENT / LEGAL GUARDIAN / NOTARIZED WAIVER
FORM GUARDIAN BE PRESENT WHEN THE MINOR IS PARTICIPATING IN OUR
SPORT.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>NOT BECAUSE THERE HAS EVER BEEN A " PROBLEM " WITH
ACCIDENTS , BUT BECAUSE AS MARSHALS WE MUST BE PREPARED FOR " POTENTIAL "
PROBLEMS .EVERYTHING FROM : THE BUTT JUST BLEW OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
COMPETITION , </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>TO , WORST CASE , : WHY DID HE JUST SHOOT HIS
FINGER DOWN RANGE ?? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>AS MARSHALS WE REGULARLY ASSESS POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
, HER LIMBS ARE BEGINNING TO WARP, HIS STRING NEEDS WAXING , ETC. AND MAKING
JUDGMENTS BASED ON THE RULES WE FOLLOW, AND OUR OWN EXPERIENCE , AS TO WHAT IS
THE SAFEST COURSE OF ACTION .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>THIS EXPERIENCE COULD HELP US MAKE A GOOD CALL IN
MOST CASES , BUT WHAT HAPPENS AT THAT ONE EVENT , THE TEN MILLION TO ONE ,
ACT OF THE GODS ACCIDENT THAT NO ONE SAW COMING ???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>THAT'S THE " POTENTIAL " PROBLEM WE HAVE TO BE
PREPARED FOR .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>WHILE THERE ARE TALENTED YOUNG ARCHERS OUT THERE ,
SOME OF WHOM KNOW AND FOLLOW THE RANGE RULES BETTER THAN SOME OF THE ADULTS I'VE
SEEN . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>IT STILL BOILS DOWN TO THE FACT THAT MINORS DON'T
HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO AUTHORIZE MEDICAL TREATMENT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>THAT'S ONE REASON WHY THE WAIVER / PARENT PRESENT
RULE IS ALREADY APPLIED TO MOST CHILDREN'S / YOUTH SHOOTS .</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Well said Lyneya</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Personally i always thought it was REQUIRED to have a parent or guardian
present on the shooting line or within direct eye shot of the minor when
shooting. I know having taught childrens archery in the sca and out, AND
running birthday parties at the archery proshop years ago i felt better having
extra eyes there. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>During the many good things that happen when a child shoots, and if
something bad happens - i MUCH rather have the parent there rather then have
to explain it. Hurt child = hysterical parent. </DIV>

there is any doubt, then we should be waiting for a ruling from the
<BR>Kingdom Archery Marshal, Master Pug, or the Earl Marshal, Duke Patrick
<BR>Micheal. So far all I have seen is..".if it was me", or "in my opinions"
for <BR>answers. I thought that there had been some discussion recently
about <BR>requiring a parent or notorized representative thereof for every
minor at an <BR>activity where there is potential for physical injury. Now,
Archery isn't <BR>classified as a combat activity, but we do mess with a lot
of pointy sharp <BR>things. I would be a lot more comfortable requiring a
parent or person <BR>authorized with all the right paperwork, that has the
ok to get medical <BR>treatment for a kid if, God forbid, something should
happen. It doesn't even <BR>have to be something archery related at the site
for medical care to be <BR>needed. I don't want to have to hope ! that
someone has a cell phone and is <BR>present, and that someone else know's
mom or dad's exact whereabouts, and <BR>someone knows the kid's medical
history, etc.<BR><BR>Having worked as an EMT and emergency room nurse, I
know full well the <BR>danger and frustration of not being able to treat a
child completely without <BR>having a parent or someone with the authority
to approve treatment in the <BR>case of an emergency. I don't want to have
to chase all over a site, or out <BR>in the mundane world electronically for
that approval.<BR><BR>As far as the notorized forms...yes a new one must be
done for every event. <BR>A hassle, but necessary.<BR><BR>If I was going to
be the authorized party on those forms, I would make sure <BR>that I had the
following information in addition to the parent's contact <BR>info., or that
the minor had it with him in written form: Doctor's name and <BR>phone
number, allergies, any health conditions, and significant previous
<BR>medical history. Th! ere's an awful lot more to consider when becoming
<BR>'guardian' for a day, than just taking the kid to the
activity.<BR><BR>Respectfully,<BR><BR>Lyneya de Grey<BR>Arcarius to Jaque
