THE BEAT GOES ON ... “Tie A Yellow Ribbon” has become the theme song associated with the captivity of the 52 Ameri- cans taken hostage Nov. 4, 1979, and who still remained in Tehran, Iran as this page goes to print Dec. 12, 1980. Down the streets of Valley Park and streets throughout the nation yellow ribbons tied around trees are a constant reminder of the Americans held hostage and will only be removed when they return free to the United States. From the far reaches of the world to the small berg of Valley Park people have been “Flirtin’ with Disaster.” The earthquake in Italy claimed a toll of 3,105 confirmed dead, 1,575 missing and believed dead and approximately 7,671 injured. The worst eruption of a volcano in the history of United States occurred at Mount St. Helens in Washington. The volcano erupted numerous times causing severe destruction to wildlife and timber and leaving 88 people missing and 18 people dead. Disaster struck with the burning of the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, claiming lives and causing millions of dollars in damage pointing up the need for change in building codes for mod- ern high rising skyscrapers Disaster also struck in Valley Park in Oct. 27, 1980 when the building by the bridge believed by some to be the oldest building in Valley Park was totally destroyed by fire. The exact age of the building was unknown, but it was said to have once been an Indian mission. J.R. Ewing Mae West Steve McQueen John Lennon AND ON ... The impact of television continues to make its mark! “Who shot J. R.?” was one of the most asked questions around the world, and the epi- sode on “Dallas” revealing Kristin as the guilty one was the most watched show in the history of American television. In the world of entertainment, 1980 marked the passing of Steve McQueen, Mae West, Peter Sellers, Jay Silverheels who played Tonto in “The Long Ranger,” and Alfred Hitchcock. Ex- Beatle John Lennon was openly gunned down and murdered in front of his apartment build- ing in New York City. 2
