T This coming year will be a


busy year as Utah IV starts get- ting ready for the 2012 West Coast Conference to be held here in Utah. Early planning has al- ready begun. It will be an ambi- tious endeavor and will be quite an adventure. We will need eve- ryone to make it a successful conference.

ART DECO 1930 HENDERSON IS ONE-OF-A-KIND RIDE


This art deco 1930 Hender-


son is a one-of-a-kind ride. Col- lector Frank Westfall stunned the crowds at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet last spring when he unveiled the crown jew- el of his collection: an art-deco inspired Henderson which was customized in 1936 with “Streamliner” bodywork by a de-

Legendary auto- motive designer Harley Earl could have drawn those curves.


Chaplain’s Corner By Dean Jackson, Chaplain INSIGHT INTO WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A COP At the end of October I was contacted by Mayor


John Curtis to help with an internal audit of the Provo Police Department. I was asked to meet with every officer in the department. After over 350 hours of ride-alongs and interviews with cur- rent and retired officers I have a renewed appreci- ation and respect for what law enforcement does, day in and day out.

During the last few weeks I have had the oppor-
