Former minister exemplified Aidan (C ontinued from page B1) HELPING YOUR OFFICE RUN SMOOTHER! Canon "It gives us great joy to both claim and emphasize our connection with Aidan, as his story is a model of our collective ministry here in the parish of St. Aidan's," continued Rev. Nancekivell. The church "borrows" its worship style from a monastery in Iona where Aidan, an Irish monk, lived. In 635 he traveled to Northumbria to establish a monastery on Holy Island (Lindisfame). "Compassion and love for all people were hall marks of his ministry," said Bugler during the dedication service. "Aidan him self always traveled on foot, rather than by horse, in order to be as close as possible to the people he sought to serve." Bugler compared his father to Aidan, "a God guided monk who cared for his flock." Rev. W illiam Bugler, affectionately known as `Father B ' arrived at St. Aidan's in April 1966 as an honourary assistant to a suc cession of rectors including Rev. William Anthony, Rev. Donald Powell, and Rev. Doug Perry. "He was an honourary assistant until the day he died on March 16, 1978," said Bugler. His mother, Elsie, died on May 12,1997. Bugler spoke of his par ents' acts of kindness while the family lived in Bayfield during the Depression years 1934 to 1939, when he was 9 to 14 years old. As a young lad coming home from school, Bugler often found individuals, couples and families "stay ing with us for a few days until `Father B' helped them solve their problems. It was never ending in those days, the country will still trying to get over the depression. `T o serve the Lord as a priest is not easy," he contin ued. "For all the things that went wrong then, and also today, in people lives is overwhelming. "Looking back on `Bather B ' shepherding the Rev. William and Elsie Bugler flock in Bayfield, I feel the love of God and the spirit was with him. , "D ad's salary was so small, yet many times he would help out a family, shedding all or nearly all of his money in his pockets, to help this family eat to sur vive. "Quite often, on going to the post office for the mail, Dad would discover one or two cheques from people he helped one or two years ago, of which he used to money to help others again." Bugler said his parents put the needs of their `flock' ahead of their own. "I can rem em ber Dad going 3-1/2 months before he was able to purchase another pair o f shoes - his old ones had holes in them." But there was always room at the family's dinner table for someone in need, he said. Bugler has often shared these memories with his younger brother David, who was bom at the end of the depression in 1938. Bugler's parents moved to Oakville to live closer to their oldest son's family fol lowing the rector's retire ment from the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Anglican Church j) f Canada. They bought a house on Devon Road. "I feel the Celtic cross is a lovely memorial to their lives," concluded Bugler.

"The hand prints on the walkway serve as a living legacy to the kids," con cludes Allison, adding "many of them may return some day (after they leave Linbrook) and find their handprints." Bordering the gardens from the driveway where buses drop off and pick-up students is a paving stone walkway - many bearing names of those who have purchased stones to raise funds for the garden project. (To buy a stone visit http://linps.haltonbe.on.ca) The naturalization project began with the creation of the Linbrook W oodlot Restoration Garden, which takes up a large area at the back o f the schoolyard. Trunks from old trees that have been cut down form a `natural fence' and `circle' for the school's largest out door classroom. This garden is the young students' favourite. The reforestation project, which is beginning to sprout a few wildflowers, was inspired by parent volunteer Diane M iddleton after a number of old trees were blown down in the fall of 1999. The Halton District School Board hired arborist Greg Hill to examine the woodlot, and teach the chil dren about the importance of trees to the environment. The children respect the woodlot and do not use it as a play area. The area has about 150 mature trees, of approximately 25 species. Part of the learning experi ence is that students will leam to identify different trees. M iddleton, who has chaired the school council's `Learning G ardens' Committee since the project was launched, said, "this whole thing started because a few old trees had fallen down in our woodlot." She explained parents, teachers and children came together to brainstorm about improv ing the school grounds. Last year, students, teach ers and parent volunteers planted about 350 to 400 new trees, and tagged them. "Each grade level uses the `Learning Gardens' in different ways to support the curriculum in the areas of m athematics, language, social studies and science," said Grade 3 teacher Lynn Metcalfe.. "The `Learning Gardens' help us to develop the knowledge, skills and atti tudes that are essential for environmental awareness, com m itm ent to positive, environmentally friendly lifestyles and the develop ment of caring, responsible citizens," she told the garden grand opening ceremony. "These gardens provide us with an opportunity to engage students, parents and the Linbrook Community in work that demonstrates shared goals, understanding, values and appreciation of our natural world. "Families, parents and children got together to plant and tend the gardens," she concluded. "What fun we had, stick ing our hands in cement to create the paving stone walkways. You children can be so proud of the work you've done."
