Howald Today in History Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67—the “Fifth Symphony”—received its world premiere at Theater an der Wien in Vienna. Initial reviews failed to recognize it as one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. The concert venue was freezing cold; it was more than two hours into a mammoth four-hour program before the piece began; and the orchestra played poorly enough that day to force the nearly deaf composer—also acting as conductor and pianist—to stop the ensemble partway into one passage and start again from the very beginning. — December 22, 1808 Food 4 Thought “The one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.” — Diane Sawyer, broadcast journalist, born Dec. 22, 1945 The Month Ahead Through Saturday, December 23 Enlightened Theatrics presents A Charles Dickens Christmas.

Teen dies in roll over, driver arrested An 18-year-old Salem woman died as the result of a single-vehicle roll over crash just north of Keizer on Satur- day, Dec. 16. The Marion County Sher- iff ’s Offi ce CRASH Team be- lieve that Justin Coakley, 21, was driving his Ford truck north on Windsor Island Road when he lost control causing the vehicle to roll over. As a result of the crash, Coak- ley and his passenger Alysia Frost, 20, of Port- land, were transported to the Salem Hospital J. Coakley with non- life threat- ening injuries. A second pas- senger in the vehicle, Karlie Thometz, 18, of Salem was killed instantly. The crash oc- curred about 4:20 a.m. After being released from the hospital, Coakley was ar- rested by deputies and lodged at the Marion County Cor- rectional Facility. He is charged with driving under the infl uence of intoxicants, manslaughter, reckless endan- gering, and assault. With the holiday season in full swing, police are remind- ing area residents to drive sober. The Marion County Sheriff ’s Offi ce asks that if you are going to celebrate, please celebrate responsibly and have a sober driver before hitting the roadway. Black Rock Coffee coming in 2018 He and Collins purchased the Salem loca- tion after it shut down in 2010 and brought it back to life. “I had managed coffee shops through- out college. The owners of Black Rock knew me from that and called me when the Salem store closed,” Rutlege said. Black Rock serves standard coffee drinks with some added perks. Beans are roast- ed fresh every Mon- day in Portland and never more than a week old. “That makes a huge difference,” Rutlege said. “Our most popular drink is a caramel blondie white chocolate mocha. It uses a proprietary white chocolate milk that is only available at Black Rock.” The coffee stand will be 14-feet-by-32-feet and employ about 10 people. Collins, a Salem local, will manage the shop. By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Keizer residents will have another option for coffee next summer. Black Rock Coffee Bar will open a new drive-thru-only location at the northeast corner of River Road North and Dietz Av- enue Northeast. Franchiser Adam Rutlege and his busi- ness partner Lucas Collins have already submitted site plans to the city for ap- proval. Rutlege ex- pects to break ground in February and have the new coffee stand up and running in June. Rutlege and Collins al- ready own three Black Rock locations, one on Lancaster Drive Northeast, one in Albany, and one in Eagle Point near Bend. “Keizer looked like a good market for us and we are excited to be coming to town,” Rutlege said. looking back in the KT 5 YEARS AGO Keizer Station development continues Restaurants took center stage this year.
