Cold Spring Gets Drop on Cape May Maritime Museum?

CAPE MAY — A proposed maritime museum adjacent to the planned fishermen's memorial here may never get launched The county has applied for $250,000 in state funds to put the museum in Historic Cold Spring Village, a Lower Township tourist attraction it acquired in January And Assemblyman Guy F. Muziani. stuck in the middle for dredging up the funds, told this newspaper last week he thinks as much as 10 percent of the money should be spent to decide the best location. Freeholder Herbert Frederick, who directs Cold Spring Village, sees no need for that. "THIS IS WHERE I want it to go." he told this newspaper. As for Cape May. he said. "They don't even have the ground yet. And the parking in Cape May is horrendous They don't have enough parking for the people they have there." Frederick suggested that a county museum — with the state's $250,000 — could focus on whaling, and the one in Cape May could emphasize commercial fishing. The potential conflict came out of a freeholder meeting July 23 when Richard R Beard, representing a group connected with the fishing industry planning the memorial and thinking about a museum, asked the county to avoid a conflict. "We don't want to work against each other." he advised. "If we're vying for the same dollar, the community will be a confused." APPARENTLY, none of the freeholders except Frederick knew anything about the county application for funds. They agreed to have their Cultural and Heritage Commission study the question and come back with a recommendation. Former county Sheriff Beech Fox. who played a key role in organizing the fishermen's memorial campaign, emphasized the non-political aspect of the effort. "This thing is totally non-political," said Fox. "Who sponsors it. who supports it, who staffs it. I couldn't care less. I don't want it to appear this is a controversy, because it really isn't." Fox has been at political odds with county Republican leaders, who denied him 2^ renomination last year. \ Fox said the memorial group started with I* the idea of erecting a monument to Jl fishermen lost at sea i W ITH THE CAPE MAY area being either » the second or third largest commercial I fishing port on the East Coast, and its rich I history in whaling and shipping. Fox said his group felt the memorial should be in Cape May Mayor Arthur Blomkvest and city council endorsed the idea and agreed to provide a city-owned site. 200 feet by 60 feet, at the foot of Missouri Avenue for the memorial The form the memorial took emerged from a poster contest the group conducted m Lower Township schools Heather Baird. a sixth grader at Lower Township Consolidated School, won the contest with a sketch that was later translated into a model i by Villas sculptor Gerald Lynch. ? I.YNCH. 41. who has done work for the j Cathedral of Saints Peter & Paul in | Philadelphia, and is a nationally recogniz- ) ed judge of sculpture, is currently at work S on quarter-scale bronze models of the staE> tue which will be used in fund-raising ^ events Known as Cape May County Fishermen's I Memorial Inc.. the group has a budget of I $150,000. and Fox reported, it has generat1 ed pledges or contributions between $25,000 W and $30,000 ill! Most of the money i $100.0001 is earfi marked for the statue which will be carved [j out of granite quarried at Barre. Vt. ; it will I ' weigh 17 tons and stand 11-feet high, j The balance of the budget will be used to J grade and improve the statue site. Plans are i to surround the statue with what is known as a compass rose, and to create a small \ park BEAKE. 24. became involved with the memorial when members of the group saw a newspaper story in which Beare expressj ed his interest in creating a maritime ■ museum. f "We felt his idea and our idea would flow very nicely into a project." said Fox So Beare was contacted, and has become a / member of the memorial group. I ' The memorial is definite ; the other thing I (the museum) is a proposal." was the wayFox described the group's plans. J I Beare. who was bom in North Cape May BP and is a 1978 graduate of Lower Cape May-

Regional High School, said he has "been around ships all my life. "My dad was a dock rat and served in the Coast Guard; and I have been lured to the sea and have a love for it," he said. "BACK WHEN I was in high school it just seemed like a great idea." Beare said, explaining where the concept of a museum originated. "I started to visit museums, and I just thought it would be an asset for the area." He lives in Williamstown with his wife and young son, and works as floor manager of Brodkin Corner, a sporting goods store on Route 42. His object in meeting with the freeholders. Beare said, was to try to avoid confusing the public with two proposed museums. "They were planning to go to the citizens for additional money, and we thought the community would be very confused as to whom they were supporting." said Beare. BEARE SAID he sees "nothing wrong" with the museum that Muziani*has been talking about. But the one he described to freeholders last week "goes more into educational aspects, enriching for young and old. "Their ideas sound good." he said. "My idea was to take the museum to a higher level where we could have more participation. and more of a chance to feel, touch and think about what's going on." The freeholders. Beare said, "really have no plans. Everything is up in the air." Beare said if his group is able to move ahead with plans for a museum, it is unlikely to open before the end of the decade. SCULPTOR LYNCH said he expects the statue to be "a conspicuous piece at a great location that I think will command a lot of attention on a national scale." The granite for it will cost $14,000, and the shop rate to cut and shape it runs up to $45 an hour, he said. Lynch has no contract, but is currently negotiating an agreement with the memorial group. "There is no money up front like there normally would be," Lynch said. "There has to be flexibility on both sides." Asked if there is a time schedule to complete work on the statue. Lynch replied, "I wish there were. But with the uncertainty of fund raising there is no set schedule. "Officially, we are shooting for the fall of 1986 for completion and dedication." he said. MUZIANI reportedly wrung the $250,000 out of a supplemental spending bill as compensation for a state aquarium that was sought by Cape May County, but awarded to Camden County. "I know it's going to stay in the budget," said Muziani. "There is no fear of Gov. Kean deleting it." Both are running for reelection. But nobody's talking about the maritime museum of sorts that the state already operates at Cape May Point State Park Muziani said the proposal for another museum grew out of meetings he had with Robert Patterson, director of the county Chamber of Commerce; A H. (Rick) Childs, county Economic Development director; and Frederick LOU RODIA. county public affairs director. drew up the proposal for the funds, Mu ziani said. "Within 24 hours. Rodia gave me a 10-page proposal, and I submitted it to Gov. Kean's office." said Muziani. Of the memorial group's efforts. Muziani said. "They have got a long way to go before they get $100,000 " Fox said his group is planning a "gala dinner for fishermen and their friends in midOctober as the kickoff for our fund raising.
