BETWEEN THE LINES EDITORIAL BY: DILLON COLLINS REGATTA THAT WASN’T T here are several truths when we think about summer in Newfoundland and Labra- dor. One, which I think we can all agree, is that the weather is, to put it kindly, un- predictable. The best laid plans of locals and come from aways can be dashed by plummeting temps and torrential rain- falls. In the words of one particular fan- tasy television series: “it is known.” The second, which is conditional on the first to a degree, is that when the days are good there is nowhere better to experience those dog days of summer than Newfoundland and Labrador.

Out of respect for those fighting in the war, no Re- gattas were held from 1915 to 1918. • There was no event again in 1940, continuing with the theme of “No Regatta during War time” howev- er, American, Canadian and New- foundland military commanders believed that it would be an excel- lent distraction from the war and a perfect opportunity to keep their men in shape by continuing with the Regatta, and it was subsequently re- instated in 1941. It’s uncertain exactly when rowers will return to competition on Quidi Vidi Lake but this must is certain – the Royal St. John’s Regatta is sorely missed. 16 THE NEWFOUNDLAND HERALD/AUGUST 2 - 8, 2020

In 1981, exactly 80 years later, Skipper Jim Ring’s Smith Stockley crew would make history, crossing the finish line in a time of 9:12.04. For those for- tunate enough to be at pondside in the early afternoon of Aug. 5, 1981, it was one of the greatest moments in Regatta history. Stockley’s record push instantly sent Outer Cove into a state of mourning. It was as if the record was stolen, not bro- ken. Although Outer Cove’s 9:13 stood for eight decades, the Stockley record lasted just one year. A determined Out- er Cove crew brought the pride back in 1982, smashing the competition and stopping the clock with an unthinkable time of 9:03.48. TWO COURSE RECORDS The ability to back up a promise inspired the 1989 RNC-Lakeshore Homes crew to a record time. They had a time of 9:00.06 to prove they were in- deed champions after winning a contro- versial ’88 title when all their opponents refused to compete in the big race. The nine minute mark was finally broken in 1991. Mike Power was back and, fittingly, assembled a Smith Stock- ley-Outer Cove crew that would stop the clock in a time of 8:59.42 for the first of- ficial time that was under nine minutes. The 1997 Regatta surprised many when Butternut Bread broke the record in a time of 8:57. Exactly a decade later, Crosbie Indus- trial delivered perhaps the greatest sin- gle day performance in Regatta history. The crew – coxswain Mark Hayward,

They rowed an 8:54.06 in the morning and, in the championship race, stopped 2003 OZFM crew the clock in a time of 8:51.32 to establish a new course record. In 1994, OZFM, made history with a time of 4:59.52, becoming the first female crew to surpass the five min- 200TH ANNIVERSARY ute mark and returned in 2003 with a time of 4:56.70 It’s a record that stands today, barely. At the 200th anniversary of the Royal St. John’s Regatta, Outer Cove rowed the course in 8:55, the third-fastest time ever at the time. The ’07 record, though, still stands. It wasn’t until 1949, when this prov- ince joined Canada, that female rowers became a permanent fixture at the Re- gatta. Yes, there was women’s race prior to ’49, but nothing permanent. The Hotel Newfoundland crew of 1958 and Hefferman’s Oil Crew of ’73 share the old course record of 6:12. Health Science, with a time of 6:11.28, won the first new course race and there was a succession of record times to fol- low. General Hospital rowed a 5:49.99 in 1980, followed by Dunne’s Fuel with a 5:36.31 in ’81, General Hospital with 5:29.11 in ’82 and Dunne’s Fuel with a 5:23.75 in ’83. Central Dairies claimed the top time of 5:19.10 in 1985 and that mark lasted until 1988 when OZFM posted a time of 5:18.67 and surpassed in in ’89 with a record finish at 5:14.97. In 1990, OZFM had a 5:08.34. How- ever, breaking five minutes became the main objective.

Hundreds of hours in the gym, endless spins on Quidi Vidi Lake, all with the focus in mind to etch their names into the history books. It was mission accom- plished and some wonder how long that record will stand. With COVID-19 stalling the sports world in 2020, and much uncertainty surrounding when athletes will get back in racing shells, it’s likely both the men’s and women’s records won’t be broken anytime soon. 20 THE NEWFOUNDLAND HERALD/AUGUST 2 - 8, 2020

As far as anyone could figure out, from 1924 to 1933 Oscar had milked his scheme for just under $1 million. SIR FRANCIS DRAKE’S WILL In November 1933, Oscar faced the music in Sioux City. At his trial postal authorities produced photostats of Sir Francis Drake’s will procured from the Historical Documents Section of the British government. The will had been probated and certified by British offi- cials. An annoying British lawyer had the gall to point out that the statute of limitations on probate runs out after 30 years and could not be reopened after that time. As 337 years had passed since Drake’s demise, Oscar was 307 years too late. Oscar was convicted of promoting a scheme to defraud and was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. He was later ad- judged incompetent and was transferred to a mental institution, where he died on Aug. 27, 1943. Despite Oscar’s exposure and con- viction, there are still those who believe he was onto something big. Even today, every so often a dog-eared receipt shows up in the U.S. midwest bearing the name of the Sir Francis Drake Association. NFLDHERALD.com
