A joyful noise unto the Lord

Many hearts and hands join to bring a Christmas gift to St. James

CALLICOON, NY—Just in time for Christmas, a “new” organ has been delivered to St. James Episcopal Church in Callicoon. The instrument is a Vocalion, considered by some to be the Rolls Royce of reed organs, built in 1898. It was meticulously restored over the past year by the Paul Carey Organ Company of Troy.

Sourdough bread

By EMILY GRILLO

I started making this sourdough bread recipe back in elementary school. We were learning about the movement of early settlers to the west. Without refrigeration, their milk would sour. They never wasted anything because they had so little. Hence the invention of the delicious and tangy sourdough bread with their soured milk.

The starter

1 cup milk

1 cup unbleached flour

Let the milk stand in a warm room for 24 hours. Stir the flour into the souring milk. Leave for two to five days in a warm room.

The bread

1 cup starter

6 cups all-purpose flour

1 package dry yeast
