The snowstorm that swept across Northeastern Oregon this weekend was precisely what the drought-stricken region needed. Now it needs about half a dozen more just like it. The storm brought nearly two feet of snow to the higher peaks in the Elkhorns and Wallowas. But even lower elevation sitesadded several inches of the kind ofheavy, wet snow that will help replenish depleted aquifers and refill reservoirs. "I'm starting to get encouraged," said Jerry Franke of the Burnt River Irrigation District in southern Baker County.

The OregonCommunity Foundation has awardedfunding toBaker Middle School and MayDay Inc. as part of its fall grants to support Eastern Oregon youth and families. The Baker Middle School will use the $21,000 grant to improve the grounds to the west of the Baker Middle School for students and community members, said Chris Carmiencke, BMS principal. Mindi Vaughn, who served as the school's principal before Carmiencke was hired this year, submitted the original proposal, the first-year principal said. The plan is to expand the playground area to possibly include one or two outdoor basketball courts, a four-square court and picnic benches for students earning special privileges to use for outdoor dining.

Bill Harvey will reach his oneyear anniversary as the Baker County Commission Chairman next month and one of his primary goals — to open up the

county's public forests to commercial logging — remains as critical now as it was during the election that elevated him to the county's top political slot. Harvey's aim to expand commercial and fire salvage logging

is the central pillar in his plan to createmore jobsthatboastliving wages. Harvey said last week that he is confident his goal is achievable. "I believe we will have salvage logging immediately. And I

believe we will get into green side logging, too," he said. H arveysaidsalvage logging has been happening on private land in the area since summer. See HarveyIPage8A

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald December 14, 1965 Hillcrest street light problems may be resolved and a new underground ornamental system installed if residents of that specific area decide to split and share added costs for the superior lighting system. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald December 14, 1990 The Grinch and his friends have helped the Sam Bass family enjoy the Christmas season a little more this year as winners of the Baker City home lighting and decorating contest. The Bass home and yard at 245019th St. is brightly lit and adorned with cartoon characters, including Winnie the Pooh, Garfield, The Grinch, and a waving Santa Claus and his sleigh-pulling reindeer. The Basses won a $50 credit on their electric bill for first place. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald December 14, 2005 For Rhonda Spellman, a gift isn't a gift unless it's snug in the perfect paper, wrapped in ribbon and embellished with something that reflects the personality of the recipient. "I want the present to be as pretty on the outside as it is on the inside," she says. And the art of gift wrapping is somewhat of a competitive sport between Spellman, her daughter, Carrie Folkman, and Carrie's mother-in-law, Judy Folkman. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald December 15, 2014 One would not expect to see a carnival ride in Baker City at this time of year. But there is one on Main Street. Unfortunately, it's not ridable. Unless the passenger is a small mouse. Or a Lego man. Garry McLin,70, who"hangs out" at Baker Gold and Silver most days, has built a 6-foot-tall electric-powered Ferris wheel in the establishment. It's displayed in the front window of the shop at1812 Main St.

SNOW Continued ~om Page1A But Franke said his optimism is balanced by reality. "It's still early," he said this morning.'After the past two or three years, I'm doubtful." Wintry weather arrived early last year, too, with a snowstorm and sub-zero temperatures in mid-November. The rest of the winter, though, was drier and warmer than average. But this year there have already been three major snowstorms. And as of this morning the water content in the snow is higher than it was on this datelastyearateach of11 measuring sites in Baker, Grant, Union and Wallowa counties. In severalcasesthewater content is more than double whatitwas ayear ago. And the statistics are encouraging not only when compared with last year. The water content is also abovethelong-term average forDec.14 at 10 ofthose 11 sites. At Schneider Meadows, for example, in the southern Wallowas northwest of Halfway, the water content this morning of 11.1 inches is the most for thisdate since 2003.

Cattle munch on hay Sunday morning as heavy snow falls in Baker Valley. The figure isabout 60 percent above average. About 20 inches of new snow fell over the weekend at an automated snow-measuring station at Schneider

Like Franke, Andrew Umpleby, manager of the Powder Valley Water Control District in southern Union County, is pleased by the storm but not complacent. "It's great what we have, but there's no way to know what things will look like in three or four months," Umpleby said this morning. Both Franke and Umpleby said the snow, although obviously welcome, isn't the only positivetrend. Last week's warmer temperatures and widespread rain helped to moisten soil that has been parched by the drought. And that means more of this winter's snowpack should trickle into reservoirs and streams rather than soak into the ground, the two irrigation officials said. "From an irrigation standpoint that's a tremendous advantage," Franke said. eWe couldn't take another year like we had the past two years."

Gordon Erickson watched the action from his shop, which sits on the hill at the top of Windmill Road just above the Super 8. 'There were lots oflights and lots of cars," Erickson said.'They were swarming all over the place."

Alabama's Henry wins Heisman NEWYORK (AP)Hand it to Derrick Henry. Alabama's bulldozer of a tailback with the super-sized workload won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night after carrying the CrimsonTide offense for most of the season. "I'm just so thankful to have this trophy," Henry said. "It's just a blessing and an honor." The 6-foot-3, 242-pound Henry is the second Alabama player to win the Heisman, joining running back Mark Ingram. Since Ingram won the award in 2009, it had gone to five straight quarterbacks. Stanford's do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey, who broke the NCAA record for all-purpose yards in a season, was the runnerup. Deshaun Watson, quarterback of No. 1 Clemson, finished third. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield came in fourth and Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds fifth.

PORTLAND iAPl — Carmelo Anthony had thehot hand and plenty ofhelp when he needed it. Anthony tied a season high with 37 points and New York's reserves sparked a rally from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beatthe Portland TrailBlazers 112-110 on Saturday night. Anthony, who scored 20 points in the first half, shot 13 of 21 from the field as New York ended a four-game losing streak. He didn't score in the fourth quarter until making six free throws during the final 30 seconds as reserves such as Lance Thomas and Kyle O'Quinn helped fuel the rally. Thomas scored seven of his 13 points

and O'Quinn six of his 14 points during the fourth quarter. "Their bench was obviously the difference. They had 46 ipointsl off the bench. All their bench players contributed.... they had a lot of energy," Portland coach Terry Stotts sald. No one was more impressed with the reserves than Anthony. Former Blazers Robin Lopez and Arron Afflalo, returning to Portland for the first time since leaving the team in free agency last summer, were among six Knicks in double figures. Afllalo scored 15 points, while Lopez had 14 points and seven rebounds.

BALTIMORE — With Russell Wilson flinging touchdown passes and the Seattle defensesmothering theopposition, the Seahawks arebecoming very tough tobeat. Wilson threw for five TDs, three to Doug Baldwin, and Seattle wore down the injury-depleted Baltimore Ravens 35-6 Sunday for its fourth straight victory. Wilson went 23 for 32 for 292 yards. The five touchdown throws matched a careerhigh — setearlierthisseason against Pittsburgh — and gave him 16 overhislastfourgames. Baldwin scored on passes of 14, 22

and 16 yards. Tyler Lockett caught TD throws of 8 and 49 yards. Seattle' ssecond-ranked defense backed Wilson by keeping the Ravens i4-9l out of the end zone, forcing two turnovers and allowing only 28 yaTds rushing. The Seahawks i8-5l have won six of seven to move into position for an NFC wild card. Baltimore's offense sputtered under the direction of Jimmy Clausen, who completed23 of40passesfora careerhigh 274yards and an interception. Playing for injured Matt Schaub, he became the third quarterback to start for the Ravens. The loss assured Baltimore its first

losing season since coach John Harbaugh took over in 2008. It was the Ravens' first game this year decided by more than eight points, and their most lopsideddefeatsincea41-7losstoNew England on Dec. 22, 2013. Seattle played most ofthegame without standoutrookie running back Thomas Rawls, who left with an injured left ankle in the first quarter. Rawls had already gained 47yardsduringthe Seahawks'first drive when he was hurt during a 3-yard loss. Rawls was replaced by DuJuan Harris, who ran for 42 yards on 18 carries but lost a fumble. Marshawn Lynch, who sits atop the depth chart, missed a fourth straight game with an abdomen injury.

Lewis-Clark State stops Eastern women LEWISTON — After starting out the game strong thanks to a pair of three's from senior forward Nikki Osborne, the Eastern Oregon University women's basketball team went ice cold from the field, and the Mountaineers ultimately suffered a 60-43 setback at the hands of Lewis-Clark State. Osborne was the lone player in double figures for Eastern with 11 points on 4-for-9 shooting. She also pulled down six rebounds.

Navy tips Army for 14th straight series win PHILADELPHIA iAPl — With perfection at stake, Keenan Reynolds ended his Navy career with a clean sweep against Army. Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo just might leave the academy the same way. Reynolds rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another score to lead the No. 21 Midshipmen to their 14th straight win over the Black Knights, 21-17 on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field. 'That was the No. 1 goal," Reynolds said."To be able to be here four years and never lose against Army, that's huge." The Midshipmen i10-2l can hook an anchor to the Commander-In-Chiefs Trophy. It's coming back to Annapolis, Maryland, after a one-year hiatus. Reynolds' second rushing TD was his 85th career score, the most for any FBS or FCS Division I player. Hoist that broom to the mast: Reynolds is the first QB to go 4 for 4 in a classic rivalry that began in 1890. Niumatalolo improved to 8-0 against the Black Knights two days before he is set to visit BYU to talk about the program's coaching vacancy. Niumatalolo tied former Army coach Earl"Red" Blaik i8-82l for most wins in the series.

BoiseState Broncos slip pastOregon BOISE iAPl — Leon Rice and Boise State finally got its signature win. Anthony Drmic scored 19 points, and the Broncos overcame a double-digit deficit in the first half and held on to beat No. 24 Oregon 74-72 Saturday. For Boise State i7-4l, it was the first win over a ranked team in four tries. The Broncos already had lost twice to Arizona and to Michigan State. James Webb III had 12 points and Mikey Thompson added 11 as the Broncos beat Oregon for the first time in six tries. It was also Boise State's first home win against a ranked opponent since beating then-No. 21 Utah State on Feb. 14, 2009. Oregon i7-2l fought back from a 67-50 deficit with 6:47 left to have a chance to win or force overtime. Dillon Brooks, who finished with a game-high 26 points, drove to the basket but his shot was off the mark as time expired. Elgin Cook scored 22 points for Oregon, which lost for the second time in three games to a Mountain West team. The Ducks did play without leading scorer Tyler Dorsey and have been without star guard Dylan Ennis all season.

No. 2 3ayhawks rally to rout Oregon State

KANSAS CITY, Mo. iAPl — The starting five for Kansas kept pressuring Oregon State on defense, creating easy opportunities on offense and insisting to coach Bill Self that they weren't tired. So he left them in. Nearly the entire second half. Wayne Selden responded by scoring 22 points, Frank Mason had 18 and the second-ranked Jayhawks rolled after the break to an 82-67 victory over the Beavers on Saturday night at Sprint Center. Perry Ellis added 13 points and Devonte Graham had 10 for the Jayhawks i8-1l, who trailed by as many as 14 in the first halfbefore outscoring the Beavers 25-9 to begin the second. 'The more that we fell behind, it seemed like the more energy we lost, and subbing didn't do anything for us," Self said. "I planned on playing everybody again iin the second half), but we got on a roll, we got going good. And nobody said they w ere re tid so Ididn'tsee areason to sub." The starters, along with lone sub Carlton Bragg, kept drawing away to help Kansas improve to 28-6 at the downtown Kansas City arena, where it has won four Big 12 tournament titles. 'You saw the best and worst of Kansas," Self said.'That's the worst we played all year in the first half, and they played a lot better than us. And the second half, that's the best we

"The team understood that the true testament to their character would be to bouncebackfrom their close lossesand take third."

Ten of Baker's 15 wrestlers placed at the annual Muilenburg wrestling tournament Saturday at La Grande. "Baker continues to build," said Bulldogs' coach Brandon Young. ''With only 15 kids you would not think we were the likely choice to be amongthe top of22 schoolsat the Muilenburg. We had the most kids advance to the championship semis with 6, but would only win

one match out of the hard-fought battles." Young said James Ah Hee led the team with a second-place finish at 126 pounds. "He gave it his all, nearly pinning his opponent in the finals who was saved by the bell in the second

round," Young said. Ah Hee lost the championship match by decision. 'The team understood that the true testament to their character would be to bounce back from their close losses and take third," Young said."That is exactly what they did

as they put their heads down and went to work the rest of the day." The Bulldogs had five wrestlers place third in their weight — Colton

Anderson (106), Jace Hays (120), Marco Vela (138), Clay Keller (145) and Will Goodwin (285). Two Bulldogs — Elijah Banister

(120) and Korey Grende (145)placed fourth. Hays and Banister faced each other in the third-place match at 120. Keller and Grende did likewise at 145.

DORY'S DIARY

IlecoratinIRolled GinoerdreadCooKies

DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

utter conh.o: art wo I see, dear diary, that last week I left my telling you about my cleaning the storageroom for a later time ,sonow I pick up the thread of the tale and go on from there. Since I had always enjoyed decorating the houses we lived in to match the changing season or holiday, I had developed myown system ofnumbering and identifying individual boxes, making a list of the contents for a double check and ease in finding specific items. It had worked quite well over the years even as the boxes grew in number as well as shapes and sizes as needs developed. The first problem to emerge was age itself, since going up and down the stairs from the living room to the store room wasn't as easy as it had been in our younger years. Then there was Daphne always standing by with that smirk on her face knowing that, as usual, I had bitten off more than I could chew. With George's help, though, I continued to "show her" that I could handle it. Then, my family was gone. George was gone. My children lived away and my mother and sister were also gone. Decorating continued only in a small way but in two houses instead of just one. I called my mother's house my halfway house, for I lived part-time on the hill and part-time in town, necessitating some seasonal decor in each. This meant taking some items to town but not being returned ior buying morel, resorting in two boxes for each change. Enough of the details as explained earlier, but in time I found I must leave my roomy home of 50 years with its spaces to put things in barn, garage, and sheds as well as the house and, also, close out my mother's house with half of my belongings, some being duplicates necessary from living in two half-way houses aimed toward a third. OK, that meant everything went to a third home, boxes stacked from floor to ceiling and contents no longer secure in the identifying labels. It was downright havoc, I kid you not ias we used to sayl, and Daphne just stood by laughing all the while. No help at all, but I was determined to show her I could do the job my wayin spite of the clicking clock of time and my belongings now scattered between two commercial storage sheds, one of my own, and the house and garage. That was when I finally decided to work on just this one room so my decor items would be ready for the next decorating event. I could then work my way from one storage area to another until all was done. All I needed was another lifetime in which to work. The new living room was much smaller in which to change its appearance as the months would go by, but I was determined to arm myself with all 17-plus Christmas boxes, all 12 months of the year boxes, and all miscellaneous boxes of collectibles in an organized manner in one small bedroom. I had tried it several times before and it hadn't worked too well because of lack of room in which to move about stacking and re-stacking the boxes, some quite heavy. I hated to admit that I wasn't up to the job just because of Father Time. Once I got an arrangement along one wall starting the numbering from lefttoright;then decided to reverse the numbering system from right to left. On this particular day, I found that it had been right the first time and needed to be re-done again. That's when Daphne first laughed out loud at me and I growled back at her.

Kathy Morrison's son and daughter decorated these rolled gingerbread cookies. Making the cookies is a tradition in her family.

By Kathy Morrison The Sacramento Bee

So many flavors and aromas are associated with Christmas and holiday treats: peppermint, chocolate, anise and orange, to name just a few. In my family, the first and foremost flavor has always been gingerbread. The soft, spicy molasses-laden cookies, thickly rolled and decorated with a simple icing, are a tradition that essentially is linked to my greatgrandmother's Swedish background. However, the recipe I learned as a child, and still make today iwith a few adaptationsl is kom my mother's newlywed"Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book," circa 1956. The cookies were originally called Gingies, and were not identified as a Christmas cookie. I'veneverrun acrossanotherrecipe quite like it: It uses neither eggs nor butter, and can be rolled thin or thick, depending on how you like your cookies. The icing, just powdered sugar, water and a bit of vanilla, makes a thin crackly glaze after sitting a bit. Food coloringis optional, but Red Hots icinnamon imperials) are a must among the decorations. I now bake these cookies by the dozens and ship them to fiiends and family up and down the West Coast. So they've been tested and tested and tested some more. But this tradition also has kept me fiom exploring other types of gingerbreadcookies.Thisyear,Idecided tochange that. So many thumbprint cookies are out there for the holidays that I wondered ifanyone had made agingerbread version.A coupledid show up online, but they induded eggs and butter. Could I adapt a recipe so that vegan fiiends could enjoy them too? The answer was a definite yes, but only after an unsuccessful sidetrack: I tried to make cookies that also were gluten-fiee, but the less said about those ithey were reminiscent of dog biscuits!) the better. Below is the successful thumbprint recipe, as well as the family one, with testing and tasting notes attached.

For icing: 2 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 tablespoons water, or enough to make icing easy to spread without being drippy Food coloring, optional Decors such as Red Hots, colored sugar, jimmies and holiday sprinkles Mix the shortening, sugar and molasses thoroughly in a large bowl. Blend in the water — the mixture will look curdled, but that's QK. Whiskthe flour, soda, salt and spices together in a separate bowl. Add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture by thirds until flour is thoroughly incorporated. Chill dough for at least an hour, but longer (even overnight) is better. The dough will be fairly sticky still. Roll out thick to very thick on a generously floured cloth — about1/3-inch thick seems to work best. Dip cookie cutters in flour before cutting. Place cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them. Bake at 350 degrees until, when touched lightly with finger, no imprint remains, about12-14 minutes. (Tops will be very lightly cracked.) For icing, stir ingredients together and, if desired, add food coloring. If icing gets too thick to spread, add a few drops of water and stir well. SeeCookies/Page 3B

ROLLED GINGERBREAD COOKIES Makes about 3 dozen, depending on size of cutters This recipe was adapted kom the 1956 edition of"Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book." Non-trans-fat shortening contains more water, so ifyou are using old-style trans-fat shortening, cut back the flour by '/4 cup. It can be doubled, but in that case a heavy-duty stand mixer is essential. Note:Don't useinsulated cookie sheets for thisrecipe —they don't get hot enough.

SeeDory/PaI,e 2B

For cookies: 1/3 cup vegetable shortening 1 cup packed brown cane sugar 1"/2 cups (one 12-ounce bottle) dark molasses 2/3 cup cold water 6'/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground allspice 1 teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Holiday wreath and material-collecting ideas

$20 to upward of $150. But why not make one yourself? It's simple, fun and just pennies on the dollar compared to store-bought. A wreath can be more than just evergreens, too. Add cinnamon sticks, strings of"sugared" cranberries or pine cones for some pop. A person can skip the needles altogether and still get something stunning by using the aforementioned items on their own.

Take a nature walk and meet your neighbors as you askforcuttings oftheirtrees and shrubs, or get a permit &om the Forest Service to take clippings &om National Forestlands. Collect pine cones, aspen twigs, moss, hard winter berries and peeled bark totie into your designs.

Getting started Whether using a wire base and floral wire, a Styrofoam form and ribbon or floral tape or a cardboard "o" and a hot glue gun, the wreath's base choice will depend on the size you want and the weight of your greenery and accents. Heavier swags or ornaments will need heavier basesand wires to attach them, whereas lightweight leaves, twigs and paper designs can be secured easily with a glue gun to nearly any lightweight frame, even corrugated cardboard. The same goes for hanging hardware — the weight of the wreath will dictate its necessary strength.

Keeping it fresh

Simple ideas for bases, designs and embellishments

To help keep evergreen wreaths looking fresh and preventwater lossfrom the needles, one local craft store manager recommends spraying a thin, even coat of abiodegradable,nontoxic anti-desiccant spray such as Wilt-Pruf to both sides of your wreath before adding the final bow or embellishments. It will dry clear and protect it &om the elements,

Basic steps to making a wreath with evergreen clippings: Add a loop with ribbon or wire to the top of your base for hanging the finished wreath. Securea piece ofwire to the base or wreath form by twisting it tightly around several times and holding it in place with your thumb while you reach for the greenery.

worse you make them." I went to my chair by the fire and collapsed in tears. She was so right! A few days later, in a most despondent mood, I had lunch with fiiends Kay H. and Dorothy R. who are good listeners and told them my tale of woe. As I related my agony, goingintogreat detailofhow thingshad gone from bad to worse, they, like Daphne, began to put hands to faces tocoveruncontrolled smiles, finally breaking out in laughter, not at me but with me. This whole saga had taken on a whole new light in retrospectasIrelated itand I saw how very funny it was in spite of the seriousness and hopelessness of my own situation. Yes, I had made my own situation more serious because of my determination to keep 17-plus boxes of just Christmas decorations and a very small living room in which to display them plus 12-plus boxes of monthly changes seasonally, but I suddenly began to feel like an Erma Bombeck in the ridiculous telling and burst out in laughter at myself, then went

Continued from Page 1B "I can do it," I spoke harshly, but she just stood there with handover her mouth, hardly containing herself. Finally she gave in seeing my deepeningdilemma and helped me move boxes as I directedtheirplacement. I finally realized that in order to stack the extra boxes properly down the middle oftheroom and leave aisles between the stacks I simply had to have more room in which to work, so we hauled boxes out into the hallway, closingoffthe accessofthe other bedrooms from this directionand necessitating going all around the other inside of the house to reach the other bedroom. Temporary, I said, as I have said many times before about many other things. After three days of this, my legs gave out and I didn't seem to be much ahead. The boxes were still in the hallway even with Daphne's begrudging help and things weren't much better inside the storeroom. And, when I opened a numbered and labeled box, the contents weren't the same as should have been there. My houses had sold too quickly; I had moved too fast without sorting time, and things were meshed together just to get them from one ior twol houses into the new one. It all came in on me together when Daphne, with hands on hips, had said, "The more you try to fix things the

Add your first piece by holding the stem against the base at a 45-degree angle on top of the spot where you started the wire. Tightly secure it by looping the wire around the stem and base several times. The more secure the better. Add the next piece by placing the stem at the same angle, directly next to the first stem. Secure it with wire so that the greenery fans out,overlapping theprevious piece, and the stems are held tightly together. Alternate your angles inward and outward for a full, lush look, or point them all outward in a single direction for a more radiant design.

Latkes, also commonly called potato pancakes, are prepared by frying grated potato and onions.

latkeS: It'StheOil,nOt the IIOtatOeS By Erica Marcus Neyysday

Why are latkes traditional for Hanukkah? It's not the potatoes that make latkes the go-to dish for Hanukkah celebrations, it's the oil. The holiday, which began at sundown Dec. 6 this year, is also known as the Festival of Lights — but it could just as easily be called the Festival of Olive Oil. Hanukkah commemorates the 2nd century BCE uprising of the rebellious Jewish Maccabees against King Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The victori ous Maccabees returned to the Temple in Jerusalem to find it desecrated. The king's troops had defiled all but one of the sealed containersofsacred olive oilused to keep the branched candelabrum, the menorah,burning day and night. The so-called"miracle of the oil" is that one container, only enough for one day, burned foreight,enabling the Jews to restore the Temple and obtainmore sacred oil. To celebrate the miraculous qualities of that olive oil, Jews traditionally fry Hanukkah foods. In the Ashkenazic tradition, celebrants fiy that most ubiquitous Eastern European vegetable, the potato, and end up with latkes, potato pancakes. Jews from the Sephardic tradition fiy up soufganiyot, jelly-filled doughnuts. Olive oil, the star of the biblical story, has areputation asa poor

Growing up, my mother always encouraged her children to cook. So when I found a recipe for hot chocolate on the side of the Hershey's Cocoa can, it was easy to convince her to let me give it a try. What I discovered was that hot chocolate doesn't have to come from an envelope. This recipe has been a favorite of mine to make on days when winter weather has convinced me stay home and off the roads. It's the perfect way to kill time and have a nice hot drink to warm you up on those chilly days. Although you can top it with whipped cream, I prefer marshmallows.

European-style butter does make a difference in taste, especially in baked goods like these Gooey Butter Shortbread Bars.

By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

In the U.S., salted and unsaltedbutterhovers around 80 percentbutterfatand the rest is water. European butter ranges between 83 percent and 86 percentbutterfat. "Saltedbutterism ade from cream and water with saltbeing the preservative," said Annie Calder of Calder Dairy in Lincoln Park and Carleton, Mich."European butter is also often cultured." At Calder Dairy, the butter has 80percent butterfat. While a 3 percent difference may not seem like much, it's noticeable when you are using the Europeanstylebutter to spread on a baguetteortoast. But bakers will notice that it lends to the tenderness and flakiness of many baked goods. Cultured Europeanstyle butter, because it has lesswater,stayssolid longer and is more pliable. It's the cultures that many sources say contribute to the tangy and almost nutty nuances of European-style butter. And because it has more fat, it melts a bit more slowly than its regular counterparts. Land OLakes is out with a version of European-style butter which lists 82 percent butterfat on the package.

Kerrygold Irish butter and Plugra (which is made in the U.S.l are other common brands you will see at most grocery stores. These are not cultured butters.

By Josh Lederman WASHINGTON — Fears ofterrorism are hanging over America's holiday season, so President Barack Obama is planning a series of events this week aimed at trying to allay concerns about his strategyforstopping the Islamic State group abroad and its sympathizers at home. Obama's visits to the Pentagon and the National Counterterrorism Center are part of a push to further explain his terrorism-fighting strategy, White House officials said, after a primetime Oval Office address last Sunday that critics said failedtodo much toreassure the public. Another goal is to draw a contrast with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his inflammatory remarks about Muslims. The Obama administration has warned Trump's rhetoric emboldens extremists looking to pull the U.S. into a war with Islam. "Terrorists like ISIL are trying to divide us along lines of religion and background," Obama said Saturday in his weeldy radio and Internet address, using an acronym for the extremist group. "That's how they stoke fear. That's how they recruit." In the coming week, he said, "we'll move forward on all fronts." The public relations campaign, one week before Christmas, comes as the public is jittery about the specter of terrorism after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California this month and
