Remaining merchandise from the event is on sale at the Orem Fitness Center. On July 28, Orem will be holding hold-ing the Gold Medal Mile.

For more information, infor-mation, contact Mark Lindsey at the Orem Recreation Center. Mike Johnson, the manager of the Orem Fitness Center and the head of the committee, is trying to plan various other activities for members of the community. "We have been looking at the possibility of creating an Orem commemorative pin," Johnson said. "But we have to be careful because of Olympic regulations." Johnson also wants to put up Olympic flags around certain parts of the city, including 8th North and University Parkway. Once again, Olympic regulations Orem Kiwanis welcomes Provo Angels Professional baseball has invaded in-vaded Provo. The Angels took the field for the first time June 16 and the natives are excited about the opportunity to cheer for their new hometown team. The Angels are thrilled to be playing for the fans. Gerard McKearney, general manager of the Angels, spoke to the Orem Iviwanis June 18. His remarks were divided into two parts: an introduction to the Angels and secondly, the Angels' involvement in the community. The Provo Angels are a part of the Anaheim Angels franchise. All together, the Angels have six minor mi-nor league teams and the Provo team represents their advanced rookie league team. The Provo team will participate in the Pioneer Pio-neer League against teams such as the Idaho Falls Padres, Missoula Osprey, Great Falls Dodgers and their biggest rivals the Ogden Raptors. The league has total of eight teams, located in neighboring states. Most of the new players were recently acquired ac-quired in the baseball draft held June 5-7. "Most of our players are just out of college," McrCearney said. The Angels want the fans to be excited about their new team and are offering a variety of promotions promo-tions to reward the new Angel faithful. A fireworks display on June 30, free mouse pads on July 13, sports bottles on July 20, a diamond giveaway by Alard Signature Sig-nature Jewelers on July 21 and all-season long the Angels will be trying to give away a car to a lucky fan. "We're really excited about the chance to give away a new car to one of our fans, thanks to Barber Brothers of Orem," said Rob Owen, president of the Provo Angels. An-gels. The Angels are seeking to be more fully involved with the community. com-munity. The team has joined with neighboring school districts to encourage students to read. If a student reads five books, they get a free ticket to an Angels game. The Provo Police are involved.

Pre game barbeques are also available. As of Tuesday, the Angels have played two games against the Ogden Raptors, losing 3-2 Saturday Satur-day and winning 6-2 Monday. The and the price they charge for the flags could be an obstacle to the project. The Committee is anticipating learning about the route the Olympic torch will take and whether or not it will come through Orem. Speculation has been going around concerning the torch route but the committee itself it-self has not as of yet received a definite confirmation of the route.
