Monastery Holds Open House By Pam Mitchell The Monks of the Abbey of the Holy Trinity want to stay in Ogden Valley, and they believe that its residents want them to stay. That is why they are launching an ambitious campaign to raise money to build a new monastery. A successful open house at the Weber County Library in Huntsville was held on Saturday, September 14, hosting more than two dozen families and individuals. Exhibits included an artist’s renditions of the planned building and indoor settings, a three-dimensional scaled model, and a virtual video tour of indoor and outdoor views, complete with the actual landscape backdrop. The most striking feature of the chapel will be its “floating roof” and holy cross shadows that move across the interior walls as the sun moves across the sky. Father Brendan has been waiting more than 50 years for this to happen. He described how the 34 original monks briefly lived in renovated military flatcars or barracks until the “temporary” Quonset-hut Monastery was built, which is still in use today. Dale Satterthwaite, Senior Vice President of Big D Construction, said, “As a resident, I am very excited that the Monastery will stay as a part of our community. We should all be really excited that this is happening.” Forrest McNabb, also of Big D, said as a practicing Catholic, “It is an honor to be chosen as the contractor for this project.” The project architectural firm is Pace Pollard Architects of Salt Lake City. Ken Pollard has studied monasteries all over the world. The Abbey of the Holy Trinity Monastery is one of seventeen Cistercian Monasteries in our country, where architectural design is very important. Based on St. Benedict’s Rule, this includes a flow through areas of work, prayer and contemplation.

Since we won’t be mailing out statements and notices this October 1, we are informing the stock-holders through the OGDEN VALLEY NEWS that the water will be shut off around October 1. Fifteen years ago the water for the entire Huntsville Irrigation system was put under pressure in under ground, plastic pipe with laterals running throughout, and to a hook-up to every lot in town. This has proven to be a very successful and economical water conserving arrangement, especially this year with the severe drought. The Huntsville town’s share of the water in the town ditch is accurately measured out of the town ditch at a diversion structure in the mouth of South Fork, and put in a two acre holding reservoir to increase pressure, where it is then put in an 18 inch plastic pipe, and transported to Huntsville town for distribution throughout the entire town, and is distributed underground to every lot in town. Formerly, for over 100 years, the water was put in an open canal and brought into town. This system had many drawbacks and problems. There were open ditches of all sizes running throughout the town, all of them with high ditch banks as a result of yearly ditch cleaning. The local water users were given turns and told when and how long they could use the water—day and night. This flood irrigation did a very poor job of watering. Usually the person watering would have to spend full time during his turn in order to get water over the high spots and across the low spots, and there usually wasn’t time to do the entire yard before it was time to turn the water down to the next person. By July 24, there wasn’t enough water in the ditch to make it to the lot, and the whole yard would dry up for the remainder of the year. The property between the ditches and the road surface never received any water, and was very unsightly. In about 1985 or 1986, a few future minded individuals started to get together, talking about improving the way the irrigation water was handled within the town. Sometime during this period, the State Engineer and the State Water Board were contacted and asked for ideas and help to better handle and care for Huntsville’s secondary water. Both of these agencies replied that indeed there were much better ways for the Huntsville irrigation water to be handled. They suggested the water board start by holding some town meetings with the local town people in order to obtain some idea of what could be done, and how it could be done. A town meeting was called, and the State Engineer’s office and the Utah Water Board sent representatives to explain what could be done, and what they would do. They made a very intensive and thorough study of our area and needs, and reported back. They suggested that Huntsville hold a town meeting to inform the people what was being planned, and that the State Engineer and the Utah State Water Board would provide initial technical help. The State of Utah had a water fund that the Huntsville Secondary Water Company could borrow from on a 20-year loan at 4% interest. Seventy percent of the water share-holders had to approve the project in order to get this loan. This turned out to be a very thorny issue. A good half of all water share-holders voted against the project—mainly for their own reasons, and what it would cost them in the long run. Finally, after many meetings, the company received a 70% approval vote, and the project was underway. The Huntsville Secondary Water System was organized with a five-man board of directors and a secretary. A very experienced and capable engineer firm was hired to draw up the plans for the project. In 1987 a very experienced engineer construction company, HUNTSVILLE WATER cont. on page 2 |
