The Keizer Elks helped make the holidays
brighter for 225 local families on Saturday, Dec.
16.
Elks members packaged up food boxes for the
families Friday, Dec. 15, in a massive production
line before delivering them on Saturday.
Of the 225 families that received boxes, 75
were for families of deployed soldiers and the
rest went to families identifi ed by the Head Start
program and Keizer schools. Gubser Elementary
School contributed 4,000 pounds of food to the
cause, but also had the most families receiving
boxes this year. The Elks raised nearly $5,000 in
donations to fi ll in the gaps.
“It’s just amazing what people give to this
event. It’s the biggest all year,” said organizer
Robin Linville.

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

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.
