(AP) — That’s all the Oakland Athletics need — another edge. Not only have the A’s steamrolled past the Boston Red Sox in the American League playoffs, now they have a week to prepare for the first game of the World Series. “I can just imagine the A's sitting back on their couches this weekend, relaxing and waiting to see who they’re going to play,’’ said Pit- tsburgh’s Barry Bonds after the Pirates forced a sixth game in the National League playoffs. “*Meanwhile, we’re out here still going at each other’s throats.”” While the Oakland Coliseum was being spruced up Thursday for the World Series which begins here next Tuesday night, the Athletics took a day off before resuming their drive for a second consecutive champion- ship. The A's will be the first team since the 1976-78 New York Yankees to play in the World Series three straight years. “I think we’ve felt stronger (about winning) this time,”’ pitcher Rick Sporting TORONTO (CP) — Cycling’s hot, though squash is not. And golf is booming while water sports go bust. Once the negative is weighed again- st the positive, it adds up to a “‘pretty decent year’’ for Canada’s $3-billion sporting goods business, says Joe Verhoeven, president of the in- dustry’s 2,000-member trade association. “The increases are not expected to be stellar, but we are expecting to see growth in 1990,”’ predicts Verhoeven, also general manager of Toronto- based Rawlings Canada. “Some categories are definitely winners and others are losers, but, over all, it balances out pretty healthily — certainly better than it does for a lot of other industries these days.’’ Considering the state of the economy and the onset of a recession, the sporting goods sector ‘‘looks pret- "88 PONTIAC 6000 4-dr., sedan, V-6, auto p.s., p.b., tilt, AM/FM. cassette, 64,000 km. on ® 9,900 | CAR STORE ss 365-7555 176) Columbie Ave..

This year, we felt we were going to go out, win it and enjoy it. “Last year, it was tough getting any pleasure out of winning because there were catastrophes all around us.’’ The World Series was delayed last year after an earthquake hit the Bay Area just before the start of Game 1 between Oakland and the San Fran- cisco Giants.

Canseco was pulled from Game 4 after striking out in the fifth inning with pain in the middle finger of his right hand. The back has been bothering him almost all season. He had a cortisone shot with two weeks left in the regular season. “I am real concerned (about Can- seco’s condition),’” manager Tohy La Russa said after Game 4. ‘‘Hopefully, we can get him physically ready for the World Series."” received. “The general mood was that (the federation) needed to package the event better to make it more in- teresting to the general public and the media,” he said. The men will test the new system on the Lauberhorn course at Wengen, Switzerland, Jan. 21, and Feb. 8 on the new downhill track being prepared for the 1992 Winter Olympic Games at Val d’Isere, France. The Dave Henderson’s knee will get that much stronger. He did not start the first two games of the playoffs because La Russa still had concerns about it. Walt Weiss, who was knocked out of playoffs with a sprained left knee in Game 2, will have his status re- evaluated before the series. But don’t count on seeing Weiss.

But, in general, the industry is stronger than ever.” Cycling, industry observers agree, is the leading sport. And, thanks to growing concern for the environment, it is expected to remain at the top for years. “Cycling is ecologically aware, it is less expensive in times of recession than operating a car, it is a good family activity, and it is easier on your body than jogging and contact spor- ts,"" said Ted Way, merchandise manager of Norco Products Ltd., a bicycle manufacturer and importer based in Vancouver.

BARRY WERNER Full Gospel Fellowship As I walked into a book store recently, a book entitled Halloween and Satanism caught my attention. I purchased the book and read it as well as other articles. I am more convinced than ever that people should be awakened to the devious nature of this day. It is not my intention to rob little children of fun, but Halloween has become a questionable and in- creasingly dangerous night for children. Each year, vandalism occurs and the more dangerous treats are becoming.

It is impossible to separate Halloween from the Druids because they originated the “*holiday."’ For several hundred years before Christ, the Celts inhabited what is now France, Germany, England, Seotland and Ireland. Ceitic priests were called Druids. This celebration honored one of their deities, Samhain, lord of the dead. Samhain called together all the wicked souls who had died within the past 12 months and had been con- demned to inhabit the bodies of animals.

CASTLEGAR SLOCAN PARK Christmas not provided these evil spirits would cast spells, cause havoc and terror, and haunt and torment the living. They demanded to be placated. Here is the beginning of ‘Trick or Treat.”” The Druids also put on grotesque and terrifying costumes. They believ- ed that if you dressed in a horrible enough fashion and went trooping around with the spirits all night, they would think you were one of them and do you no harm. Many of the Halloween legends and customs of today have come from the Celts. The widespread problem of harmful sub: such as razor am was the last day of October, the eye of the Celtic new year. It was a time of falling leaves and general seasonal decay, and it seemed appropriate to celebrate death. That's what it was, a celebration of death. It honored the god of the dead. The Druids believed that the souls of the dead returned to their former homes to be entertained by the living. If acceptable food and shelter were blades, drugs, poisons, needles, etc., being placed in the Halloween treats in America is no accident. Testimonies of several ex-Satanists show that these children killéd and in- jured by the “‘treats’’ are sacrifices to Satan (or Samhain). Satanists throughout the world continue to per- form human sacrifice on Halloween.
