Today in History While spending the Christmas holidays at Graceland, rock-and-roll star Elvis Presley receives his draft notice for a two-year stint in the United States Army. After basic training Presley sailed to Europe on the USS General Randall. For the next 18 months, he served in Company D, 32nd Tank Battalion, 3rd Armor Division in Friedberg, Germany, where he attained the rank of sergeant. — December 20, 1957 The Keizer Traffi c Safety, Bikeways and Pedestrian Committee met Thursday, Dec. 12. Here is what was discussed: • Wayne Frey reported on an inventory of bike racks available at Keizer parks. Ten of 19 parks have bike racks of varying capacity, but both Frey and Hersch Sangster took issue with “toaster-style” racks in four of the parks. The racks represent a style of theft protection from a bygone era and the committee may advocate for replacing those racks – in Northview Terrace, Keizer Rapids Park, Clear Lake and Country Glen parks – as soon as the city’s budget allows. • Sangster reported on a plan for the city or school district to take possession of a recycled bike repair station and place it near Kennedy Elementary School and the Keizer branch of the Boys & Girls Club on Noren Avenue Northeast. Sangster said he spoke with Kennedy Principal Jesse Leonard, the director of the club and a lead teacher who all enthusiastically embraced the idea. • Mike DeBlasi and Kathy Lincoln reported efforts to get cities like Keizer and Salem to adopt new road standards (speeds, lane widths, etc.) that favor multimodal transportation. The standards currently in use favor automobile traffi c over all others. The next meeting of the committee is Thursday, Jan. 9.

Corridori is no stranger to the Salem-Keizer food scene. He is also the founder of the EatSalem blog. In that role, he’s been encouraging local restaurants to feed off the energy created by In-N-Out. “Salem and Keizer has had a lot of really good growth in the food scene and this is our time to put that in front of the people coming here for In-N- Out. I want them to be known for the good stuff that they do,” he said. For a while, Corridori was concerned that waiting in line for double-doubles might actually drive his own customers away, but he’d come around to viewing it as a way of living the Keizer motto. “I’ve been blown away by the charity and the spirit of volunteerism of this city and it deserves good things – especially the kids,” Corridori said. In-N-Out opened earlier than usual Thursday, Dec. 12. “We had a long line of customers here at 7 a.m.,” said Denny Warnick, vice president of operations with In-N-Out. “After a while, it didn't make any sense to make them wait any longer.” By the time the fi rst burgers were served, several others had joined Corridori in camping out near the restaurant. Corban University student Jake Hooper was among the faithful. maze Friday, December 20 Whiteaker choir at Capitol Rotunda, 11:30 a.m., 900 Court Street N.E.

The incident occurred on Monday, Dec. 9. While the resi- dents were away from the home, the boys were recorded on the home’s surveillance system en- tering the home through a pet “I knew that I wanted to camp out and be one of the fi rst people in line. It's just been a cool experience,” Hooper said. “I grew up going to In-N-Out. When I go home for breaks, I usually get In-N-Out fi ve or six times over a two-week span. I'll probably be at this one once a week.” Hooper is originally from southern California, where In-N-Out originated. Once he found out Keizer would be getting an In-N-Out, Hooper knew that he had to be one of the fi rst ones to experience it — even though he had a fi nal exam later in the day. The company’s “all-stars” were put up in motels for weeks and even months to help transition new employees into their roles. In-N-Out has hired many Keizer workers and are still looking to add to their staff — which is expected to employ more than 100 people. According to Warnick, more than 40 workers were on shift at 9 a.m. Even though the grand opening was on Dec. 12, In- N-Out hosted a store party the evening before for new associates and their families, along with a select number of city offi cials.

Pictures created from the home’s surveillance system were posted on social media by the victim and someone rec- ognized one of the kids. Police contacted the boy at 8 p.m. the same evening and discovered some of the stolen property in the boy’s backpack. Two days later, the investi- gation led to a second suspect who also lived nearby. More stolen property was recovered from the second boy’s residence. The boys were taken to Mar- ion County Juvenile Detention and charged with fi rst-degree burglary. All the stolen property was returned to the owner. and an In-N-Out lover. Post is incredibly excited for In-N-Out on a personal level, but is even more thrilled about what the restaurant could bring to Keizer. “I think it's going to be huge. It makes Keizer more attractive and puts the town on the map,” Post said. “With the amount of people that will come and check out the town, it won't be anything but a win-win for Keizer.” As far as the burger is concerned, Post didn't mince his words. “It absolutely lived up to the hype. It always does,” Post says. looking back 5 YEARS AGO Youth is being served (and serving) in Keizer Having a youth councilor on the Keizer City Council isn’t a new thing. For the fi rst time however, there are two youth involved, as Jeremy Darst is serving as the youth Liaison to the Keizer Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. 10 YEARS AGO Stolen totem poles found in Keizer Two totem poles stolen from Washington state were found in Keizer last week. Keizer Police got a tip from Seattle Police that a totem pole stolen from a park in West Seattle may just be here in Keizer. 15 YEARS AGO Girl gets her own Snowball When Brittney Evans’ cancer relapsed earlier this year, she knew she wasn’t going to be able to attend the Snowball, but that wasn’t going to stop her entirely. Instead, she and a group of friends met at her house where they hung out, went to the mall for professional photographs and stayed out late for midnight bowling. 20 YEARS AGO Breakfast with Santa Claus The smell of melting butter and syrup fi lled the air of Keizer Sunday morning as the 12th annual Fireman’s Breakfast was held at the Fire Hall. More than 700 people fl ocked into the station to get their fair share of ham, eggs, pancakes, hash browns and coffee, as well as some good conversation.
