Foxfield officials to continue crackdown
By Corinne Shamy | April 21, 2004University Emergency Medical Services and the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad will be present for the first time at the Foxfield horse races Saturday. Marcus Martin, chair of University Emergency Medical Services, told fraternity and sorority members at their annual Foxfield informational meeting that the U-EMS presence is part of the mass-gathering event management already in place at such University events as football games. "There will be doctors there who can help the curing process before you even get to the hospital," Foxfield Marketing Director Anne Browne said. This is the only major change to the logistics of Foxfield following a crack-down on underage drinking at last year's event. The Foxfield races last year were the most successful in several years, Albemarle County Lieutenant John Teixeira said. The students came through with "flying colors and should be commended for their behavior," he said.
