CafiEay foyer Peterson -Wins National Young Molte Tittle Former Orem resident -Catherine (Cryer) Peterson was recently named National Young Mother of the Year for 1983. She was awarded the title in time to celebrate cele-brate a special Mother.s Day with her husband Tom and their seven children. Winning the national title was preceded by winning the State title for Pennsylvania. The couple make their home in Allentown, Pa. where Tom is employed with Maytag Company. Cathy and her youngest son, -Ephraim, have been visiting in Orem for the past two weeks to join . in family celebrations for her sister 'Betsy's wedding. Another title winner, Betsy is former Miss Orem having recently relinquished her 1982 crown to prepare for her wedding last Thursday. Andwhat'shappening toCathy's other six children while she renews acquaintances in Orem. Husband Tom, who recently was released as Bishop, offered to keep the kiddies in tow while Mom took the needed respite. "She's supported me all these years," he said gallantly, "Now it's my turn." Large families are nothing new to Cathy, who is the first of eight children born to Walter and Pat Cryer of Orem. She moved to Orem with her family at the age of 12 when her father accepted a teaching position at Brigham Young Universitv Cathy graduated from Orem High school with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. She later graduated with honors from BYU in 1973 as departmental valedictorian and is certified to teach physical education, dance and English on a , secondary level. She earned a one-year one-year academic scholarship to college and worked as a lifeguard, information operator and assistant pool manager to pay her room and board. But a good start for each youngster each day is a priority for this energetic mother. "Morning is just the beginning of my daiiy training in the virtues of patience, endurance and fortitude," she says. But most fulfilling for Cathy, she says, "is seeing my children learning lear-ning and adopting the values my husband and I have been trying to teach them. There are precious and priceless-sometimes almost sacred moments, which I wish I could freeze in time and view anew whenever I feel frustrated or frazzled as a mom. The thoughtful little bedtime prayers, the sympathy-tears for me when I was sick, the diligent work on a homework or scouting project, the fierce denfense of an underdog sibling in a neighborhood neigh-borhood spat-because 'he's my brother.', the child scrawled '25 cents' on a church donation slip, the gentle hugs and kisses and 'I love you's, the wilted fistfuls of dandelions, dan-delions, wildflowers or the only magnolia blossoms on our tiny tree, the colorful crayon portraits of 'my family' with everybody smiling, the cleaned house (to surprise mom'), the little legs running to greet their daddy as he return? from work, the voluntary sharing of some birthday party loot, the clumsily-wrapped Christmas presents, are some small examples of those kinds of moments. I cannot imagine any 'fringe benefits' in the workplace that could ever replace those moments." Life has not always been filled with such simple and hectic blessings for the Petersons. They've had their share of trials. Shortly after their first daughter, Jamie, was born, Tom accented a iob in San Jose, California. Catherine remained in Utah to sell their home. While they were separated Tom was involved in a serious accident and they enjoyed a bittersweet reunion while he was hospitalized a thousand miles from home. They also once lost everything they had in a fire that destroyed their home. Church and family rallied to bouy and support them. As a result of this kind of sharing, the Petersons have also shared their lives by sponsoring a 12-member family from Vietnam and helping them settle in America. They also have hosted a student from Cameroon and have friendshipped from different countries and backgrounds. Paul M. Haderlie of Orem is among 21 Brigham Young University students who have been awarded prestigious Karl G. Maeser Scholarships for their senior year. President Jeffrey R.

Or, that much of tooth decay can be PREVENTED by simply altering what you eat? Your teeth are covered with a sticky, nearly invisible mass of bacteria called plaque. Plaque converts the sugars in foods to acids, which erode tooth enamel and form cavities. Each time you eat a dessert or snack high in refined sugar, acids are formed that last at least 20 minutes. Consequently, the number num-ber of times you eat these foods is just as important as the amount you eat! To avoid tooth decay, Diet Center suggests you limit your consumption of foods high in refined sugar. Instead of a rich dessert, try a delicious slice of cooled melon C ? o topped with strawberries. For snacks, choose raw fruits and vegetables. For additional tips, contact your local Diet Center Counselor. v. if A fliff We care about COLLEEN FERGUSON VOUT Health SELMA pORTE" VillaneGreen-Provn SUa Orem Village Green -Provo Phone 375-6000 Office Hours M-F6:45a.m.-12:00Noon Sat. 8:30 a.m. -11 :00 a.m. Phone 225-7525 ' Office Hours M-F 6:45 a.m. -11:00 a.m. Sat.9:30a.m.-ll:00a.m. Robert Perry Advanced Cathy married Tom Peterson.
