HEADLINES ' 85- ' 86 1 SEPT. ON SEPT. 26, 1985, MEXICO CITY HAD TWO MAJOR EARTH¬ QUAKES, THE LOWEST TOTAL¬ LING 7.3 ON THE RICHTER SCALE. THE TOTAL DEATHS RE¬ PORTED WERE AT LEAST 10,000. OFFERS OF MONEY AND SUP¬ PLIES CAME IN FROM GOVERN¬ MENTS AND CHARITIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS TO CLEAN THE DAMAGE, BUT LEADERS SAY THIS COULD . LEAD TO A STRONGER MEXICO. THE STORY OF “AIDS” HIT AMERICA IN EPIDEMIC PROPORTION. THIS DIS¬ EASE THAT EFFECTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, WAS NOT EVEN HEARD OF FIVE YEARS AGO BY MOST DOC¬ TORS, LET ALONE THE PUBLIC. TO¬ DAY AFTER THOUSANDS OF DEATHS, THE DISEASE HAS SUR¬ FACED AS THE BUBONIC PLAGUE OF THE PRESENT. RESEARCH HAS YET TO FIND THE CURE, BUT HAS IDENTI¬ FIED HOMOSEXUALS AT THE HEART OF THE EPIDEMIC. THE AIDS PROB¬ LEM AND CONCERNS HAS CAUSED FEARS, PRECAUTIONS, AND NEW RULES THROUGHOUT THE COUN¬ TRY. AFTER 73 YEARS, THE TITANIC WAS FINALLY FOUND. THE DISCOVERY OCCURED BECAUSE OF ONE MANS OBSESSION. THE NAVY DECIDED TO SPONSER ROBERT BALLARD, AND PUT TOGETHER A SUBMERSIBLE PHOTOGRAPHIC VESSEL CHRIS¬ TENED “ARGO.” THEY STOPPED FOR TESTING, AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY WERE OVER THE BOILERS. THEY CELEBRATED IN THE DISCOV¬ ERY OF THE SHIP, AND THE PER¬ FECTLY PRESERVED FINDINGS ON BOARD. THE ELATION GAVE WAY TO A PROPER MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR ALL THOSE ON BOARD. O FIRST TEAM TO WIN WORLD SERIES AFTER LOSING FIRST TWO GAMES AT HOME: KANSAS CITY ROYALS LED THE LEAGUE IN VICTORIES (24) STRIKEOUTS (268), AND ERA (1.53); DWIGHT GOODEN MOST HITS. CAREER: PETE ROSE 3,000 HITS IN A CAREER: ROD CAREW 300 WINS BY A PITCHER: PHIL NIEKRO FOR THE RECORD, THE ALL-MISSOU¬ RI SERIES OF THE ROYALS AND CAR¬ DINALS WAS WON 4-2, KANSAS CITY. OCT. 10, 1985, ISRAELI JETS DEV¬ ASTATED THE PLO’S HEAD- QURTERS IN TUNISIA. THE F-15 FIGHTER-BOMBERS LEFT FROM ISREAL 1500 MILES TO THE EAST, REFUELED IN MIDAIR OVER THE MEDITERRANEAN, AND DROPPED TO JUST ABOVE SEA- LEVEL TO AVOID RADAR. FOR SIX MINUTES THE JETS UNLEASHED A DEADLY PAYLOAD OF BOMBS AND ROCKETS. THEN THEY STREAKED FOR HOME. THE FALL OF THE BHAGWAN WAS THE MAJOR NEWS EVENT IN OR¬ EGON DURING 1985. ON OCTOBER 29, RAJNEESH AND HIS PERSONAL SECRETARY MA ANAND SHEELA AFTER ABRUPTLY LEAVING OREGON WERE ARRESTED. THE GURU WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND CHARGED WITH IMMIGRATION FRAUD. A WEEK LATER. DISCIPLES ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WOULD DISBAND THEIR COMMUNE AND SELL ITS ASSETS. BY THE END OF THE YEAR, 100 CARETAKERS WERE LEFT AT THE COMMUNE THAT WAS ONCE HOME TO PERHAPS 4,000. 1 1 1 1 1 NOV. 19, 1985, RONALD REAGAN AND MIKHAIL GORBACHEV MET FOR THE FIRST SUMMIT MEETING IN SIX YEARS. AFTER TWO DAYS OF MEET¬ INGS THEY AGREED TO MORE SUM¬ MITS, ONE IN THE U.S., AND ONE IN THE U.S.S.R. THEY ALSO PRODUCED A JOINT STATEMENT AGREEING TO SPEED UP ARMS-CONTROL NEGOTI¬ ATIONS AND CALLED FOR A 50 PER¬ CENT REDUCTION IN NUCLEAR ARMS BY EACH SIDE. PROBLEMS OCCURED WHEN BOTH LEADERS RE¬ FUSED TO GIVE UP CERTAIN PRO¬ GRAMS, BUT THEY AGREED TO KEEP TRYING. CROCKETT AND TUBBS ARE HOT! THESE TWO ARE THE CHARACTERS PLAYED BY DON JOHNSON AND PHILLIP MICHAEL THOMAS ON THE TELEVISION SERIES MIAMI VICE. THIS AWARD WINNING SHOW SET THE PACE FOR MANY OF THE LATEST FADS AROUND THE COUNTRY. TAK¬ ING TO THE STREETS OF MIAMI, THE SHOW INCORPORATED GOOD AC¬ TION, PASTEL COLORS, AND FINE MUSIC TO CATCH THE ATTENTION OF TEENAGERS. NOMINATED FOR 15 EMMY AWARDS. THE TOP TEN TV SHOWS FOR 1985-1986; 1) THE COSBY SHOW (NBC) 2) FAMILY TIES (NBC) 3) MURDER SHE WROTE (CBS) 4) 60 MINUTES (CBS) 5) CHEERS (NBC) 6) DALLAS (CBS) 7) DYNASTY (ABC) 8 THE GOLDEN GIRLS (NBC) 9) MIAMI VICE (NBC) 10) WHO’S THE BOSS (ABC) 1 1 1 ON DEC. 20, 1985, THE CHAR¬ TERED DC-8 CARRYING 248 SOL¬ DIERS AND EIGHT CREW MEM¬ BERS CRASHED KILLING ALL ABOARD. THE SOLDIERS WERE RETURNING HOME FOR CHRIST¬ MAS AFTER SIX MONTHS DUTY IN THE SINAI DESERT. THEY REFU¬ ELED IN NEWFOUNDLAND,THEN TOOK OFF FOR KENTUCKY. LESS THAN HALF A MILE AFTER TAKE OFF, THE PLANE EXPLODED, STREWING BODIES AND DEBRIS FOR THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILE. X. WITHOUT A DOUBT, 1985 WAS THE YEAR OF HALLEYS COMET. HALLEY LEARNED THE SECRET OF THE COM¬ ET IN 1705: THE COMET COMES, IT RETREATS BEYOND NEPTUNE, THEN PLUNGES INTO VENU’S ORBIT. THE CYCLE IS ABOUT 76 YEARS ON THE AVERAGE, JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO MAKE IT A NATIONAL EVENT, BUT STILL SHORT ENOUGH FOR US TO EXPERIENCE THE THRILL THAT OUR GRANDPARENTS MUST HAVE FELT. MANY PLACES OF THE WORLD VIEWED THE COMET EASILY, WHILE WE IN ASTORIA WERE LUCKY FOR OUR FEW GLIMPSES. FOR CLATSOP COUNTY, 1985 MARKED THE END OF AN ERA IN THE NORTHWEST TIMBER INDUSTRY CROWN ZELLERBACH CORP. AN¬ NOUNCED IT WOULD SHUT DOWN COMPANY LOGGING OPERATIONS AT ITS CAMPS IN NORTHWEST OR¬ EGON. CHANGES AT CROWN WERE INEVITABLE DURING THE YEAR AS CORPORATE RAIDER SIR JAMES GOLDSMITH HAD TAKEN OVER MORE THAN 50% OF THE COM¬ PANY ' S STOCK. THE CLOSURES MEANT THE LOSS OF AT LEAST 163 JOBS. CROWN LOGGERS FELLED THEIR LAST TREES IN DECEMBER

AT 11:39 A M , ON JANUARY 28. 1986 SEVEN MEN AND ONE WOMAN WHO DARED THEIR LIVES TO EXPERIENCE THIS SPACE TRAVEL, SIM¬ PLY VANISHED A TEN MILE HIGH CLOUD HUNG IN THE SKY FOR HOURS WEEKS OF SEARCHING FOR A CAUSE TURNED UP A LEAK IN THE BOOSTER ROCKET SEAL THIS EVENT SET THE SHUTTLE PRO¬ GRAM BACK MONTHS IN PLANNING AND LEFT THE NATION IN MOURNING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A DECADE. AMERICA ' S SPACE PROGRAM EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHE SUPER BOWL 20 PROVED TO BE A VERY LOPSIDED GAME AS THE CHICAGO BEARS STOMPED THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. THOUGH THE FINAL SCORE WAS 46-10, THE BEARS SHOWED THAT THEY COULD HAVE STRETCHED IT OUT EVEN FURTHER. WILLIAM “THE FRIDGE PERRY SCORED ONE OF THE BEARS TOUCHDOWNS, AS HE COMPLETED A VERY SUCCESSFUL ROOKIE SEASON. RIGHT END, RICHARD DENT, FOR THE BEARS, WAS ANOTHER PLAYER WHO DID QUITE WELL, HE WAS THE SUPER BOWL MVP. IN THE WEAK LIGHT OF THE DISTANT SUN. THE SPACE EXPLORATION SHIP VOYAGER 2 FLEW TOWARD URANUS. THE VOYAGER 2 WHIPPED PAST THE BLUE-GREEN PLANET AT A CLOSE DISTANCE OF 50,679 MILES. PROVID- • ING SCIENTISTS A VIEW THAT HAD NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. IT DETECTED A TENTH ' RING AND TEN TINY MOONS PREVIOUSLY UN- : DISCOVERED THOUSAND S OF PICTURES AND LOTS OF SCIENTIFIC DATA WERE GATHERED ON THE • TRIP. WHICH WILL PROVE VALUABLE FOR RE¬ SEARCH IN YEARS TO COME. AFTER SIX ATTEMPTS TO DEMOLISH THE OLD 69-YEAR OLD FLOUR MILL AT THE PORT OF ASTORIA IT FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND PICKED ITS OWN TIME TO COLLAPSE. THE CASCADE EXPLOSIVES INC. DEMOLITION CREW FINISHED ITS WORK AFTER HUN¬ DREDS OF POUNDS OF DYNAMITE WERE USED TO DESTROY THE STRUC¬ TURE. THE FLOUR MILL AND NEARBY GRAIN ELEVATOR ARE BEING DEMOL¬ ISHED TO PROVIDE MORE STORAGE SPACE AT THE PORT. CASCADE EX¬ PLOSIVES BID $72,790 TO LEVEL THE FLOUR MILL AND GRAIN ELEVATOR. IN FEBRUARY, THE ELECTIONS IN THE PHILLIPINES WERE HELD FOR THE POSI¬ TION OF THE PRESIDENCY. INITIAL RE¬ SULTS INDICATED THAT PRESIDENT FER¬ DINAND MARCOS WOULD REMAIN PRESI¬ DENT AS HE HAD FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. OPPOSITION LEADER, COROZON AQUINO, REQUESTED A RECOUNT AFTER DEMANDING THAT THE ELECTION COUNT WAS FRAUDLIENT. MEANWHILE THE U.S. TOOK A NEUTRAL LINE FEARING THAT ANY SUPPORT WOULD BE HARMFUL FOR RELATIONS. THE RE-COUNT PROVED THAT AQUINO HAD INDEED DEFEATED MARCOS. MARCOS FOUND REFUGE FROM THE DISGRACE IN HAWAII. THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION .SOUGHT HELP FROM CONGRESS IIIN MARCH TO PASS ANOTHER • LARGE SCALE FUNDING PROGRAM .TO PROVIDE AID FOR THE CON- ; TRAS. THEY WERE FIGHTING THE .COMMUNIST BACKED SANDAN- ISTA GOVERNMENT IN NICARA¬ GUA. BUT DISPITE THE PRESI- liDENTS ATTEMPTS CONGRESS FELT THAT A MILITARY AID PACK¬ AGE AT THIS TIME WAS NOT NEED¬ ED. MEANWHILE THE STRUGGLE •BETWEEN THE CONTRAS AND THE SANDANISTAS CONTINUES. BEST PICTURE-OUT OF AFRICA BEST ACTRESS-GERALDINE PAGE- “THE COLOR PURPLE BEST ACTOR-WILLIAM HURT-“KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR-DON AMECHE-“COCOON” BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS-ANGEL¬ ICA HOUSTON-“PRIZZI’S HONOR THE INITIAL CONFLICT BETWEEN THE U.S. AND LIBYA OCCURED IN MARCH WHEN THE SIXTH FLEET STEAMED ACROSS THE LINE OF DEATH WITH THE STRONGEST CHALLENGE YET TO LIBYAN LEADER MUAMMAR KADDAFI. THE FLEET MOVED INTO THE GULF OF SIDRA TO KEEP THE SEA LANES OPEN AND TO PUNISH KADDAFI FOR HIS SPONSORSHIP OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM. WHEN THE LIBYANS OPENED FIRE WITH SUR¬ FACE-TO-AIR MISSILES, AMERICAN PLANES AND SHIPS FIRED BACK, SILENC¬ ING A LIBYAN BATTERY AND SINKING AT LEAST TWO LIBYAN PATROL BOATS. ONCE AGAIN, IN APRIL, IT WAS •OPEN SEASON ON AMERICANS ABROAD. A TERRORIST BOMB •RIPPED A GAPING HOLE IN THE [SIDE OF TWA FLIGHT 840 EN ROUTE TO ATHENS, KILLING FOUR OF THE PASSENGERS. ANOTHER 30MBING LEFT TWO DEAD AND -150 WOUNDED IN A POPULAR •WEST BERLIN DISCO. DESPITE SE¬ CURITY CRACKDOWNS, AIRPORTS REMAIN THE MOST TEMPTING TER¬ RORIST TARGETS. BUT THERE ARE -EW PRECAUTIONS TOURISTS CAN kTAKE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES THIS TRAVEL SEASON. THE LIBYAN CONFLICT ESCALATED ON APRIL 15, 1986 WHEN NAVY JETS FROM TWO U.S. AIRCRAFT CARRIERS STRUCK AT TARGETS IN AND NEAR BENGHAZI. F-111 ' S FROM GREAT BRI¬ TAIN ATTACKED THE NAVAL BASE. AND MILITARY AIRFIELD NEAR THE CAPITAL CITY OF TRIPOLI. KADDAFI ' S HEADQUARTERS WERE ALSO AT¬ TACKED. THE U.S. ACTION WAS IN RE¬ SPONSE TO TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN EUROPE THAT WAS TIED TO LIBYA. ONE F-111 AND IT ' S TWO MAN CREW WERE LOST. IT WAS BY FAR THE WORST NUCLEAR REACTOR ACCIDENT EVER. THE CATA¬ STROPHIC MELTDOWN AND EXPLOSION BLEW THE TOP OFF THE REACTOR AND SENT A RADIOACTIVE PLUME ACROSS THE SOVIET UNION, EASTERN AND WEST¬ ERN EUROPE. FEAR RACED DOWNWIND WITH THE FALLOUT AS MOSCOW TRIED TO COVER UP THE FULL STORY OF THE DISASTER. THE U.S. AND MANY EUROPE¬ AN COUNTRIES WERE OUTRAGED, EVEN THE SOVIET ' S ALLIES DISPLAYED SOME ANGER. THE DISASTER RAISED QUES¬ TIONS FOR NUCLEAR POWER-PLANT SAFETY AROUND THE WORLD. NINE CLIMBERS DIED IN MAY WHEN A STORM ENGULFED THE 11,235 FOOT MOUNT HOOD. THEY WERE ON AN OUTING SPONSORED BY THE SCHOOL THEY ATTENDED N PORTLAND AS PART OF A PRO¬ GRAM TO TEACH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, RESPECT FOR THE WIL¬ DERNESS. FOUR OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CLIMBING PARTY SUR¬ VIVED. TWO HIKED OFF THE MOUN- rAIN TO SEEK HELP AND TWO WERE FOUND ALIVE WITH THEIR DEAD COMPANIONS ON MAY 15, -OUR DAYS AFTER THE ORDEAL 3EGAN, IN A SNOW CAVE HIGH ON fHE MOUNTAIN THE REACH OF HANDS ACROSS AMERICA HAD MANY GAPS IN ITS CROSS COUNTRY LINE BUT IT DID NOT STOP MILLIONS WHO TURNED OUT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT. LOCAL ORGANIZERS ESTIMATED THAT UP¬ WARDS OF 4.9 MILLION JOINED IN THE EFFORT ON BEHALF OF THE HUNGRY AND THE HOMELESS ON SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1986 EXCEPT FOR TWO PEO¬ PLE OVERCOME BY THE HEAT IN THE ARIZONA SUN. NO ONE SUFFERED ANYTHING WORSE THAN THE DISAP¬ POINTMENT ABOUT THE BREAKS IN THE LINE. THE BOSTON CELTICS DEFEATED THE HOUSTON ROCKETS IN THE SIXTH GAME OF THE FINALS, 114-97 TO WIN THE 1986 NBA TITLE. FOR BOSTON IT WAS THEIR 16TH NBA TITLE IN THEIR 40 YEAR HISTO¬ RY OF THE FRANCHISE. LARRY BIRD, WHO LEAD ALL PLAYERS WITH MOST POINTS, ASSISTS, AND RE¬ BOUNDS. WAS VOTED THE MOST VALU¬ ABLE PLAYER AWARD FOR THE SERIES. HIS PRESENCE WAS THE DETERMINING FACTOR FOR OVERPOWERING THE TWIN TOWERS OF HOUS TON. THE ROCKETS R AI PH SAMPSON AND AKEEM OLAJUWON PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN KEEPING THE SCORE CLOSE, BUT NEVER A THREAT TO THE PLAY OF THE CELTICS. JAN. FEB. MAR. APR. MAY
