Grant will help Shaker Museum project
CHATHAM – Shaker Museum was awarded a two-year, $230,000 grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for the installation of the Shaker Belief, Shaker Life, Shaker Community collection, to be presented at the launch of the museum’s upcoming facility in downtown Chatham.
Curated by Maggie Taft, the display will offer a kaleidoscopic view of American Shakerism from the religion’s founding in the late 18th century to its flourishing in the 19th century and decline in the 20th. Using selections from Shaker Museum’s collection, the exhibition will explore how Shakerism’s radical foundational values of equality, inclusion, and accessibility were pursued and experienced by members of Shaker communities, according to the museum.

Emperor Cuomo must leave throne
As Caesar ruled Rome, Cuomo figures New Yorkers are “my subjects” and should do as I say not as I do.
After all, I am the great and powerful governor placed in this powerful and “dignified” position by being duly elected. You placed me here to do as I please and not be held responsible for my actions for I am above the law, right? You put me here and now must be “subjected” to whatever “eye” see fit to bestow on my “subjects.”
Give him a break. Snap his term and make him leave by resignation or whatever means possible. Who wants an official in office who can’t even control his hands or actions. And what has he been up to and not been caught at yet?
