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.

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.

OUT: ‘It absolutely

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.

Handgun
was among
stolen items
Two boys, ages 12 and 16,
were arrested Dec. 11 for al-
legedly stealing a handgun,
multiple cellphones and an ex-
pensive watch from at residence
in the 4300 block of Shoreline
Drive North.
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.
One offi cial that made the
cut was Bill Post, the state
representative for District 25,

door at the back of the house.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
