Zwolman was one of 80 elemenâ€" tary school children who participated in the â€" Respect For Law Camp â€" held at the Halton Regional Police Bronte Road headquarters this past weekend. During their stay, the young campers attended numerous demonstrations and lectures to better acquaint them with the police and police activities. 12â€"yearâ€"old Milton resident had just detonated her first car bomb, and her friends who watched were suitably impressed. The organizers‘ emphasis on handsâ€"on involvement and audience participation gave Zwolman and a few other lucky campers the experiâ€" ence of a lifetime. However, for many of the students, the highlight of the weekend came when six fully uniformed members of Halton‘s Tactical and Rescue Unit surrounded a locked car and freed a hostage amid simulated gunfire. The Optimist Club and police organized the three day event in the hope that it would help foster a posiâ€" tive relationship between Halton‘s young people and the Law Enforcement Agencies. "We hope thes¢ students will head back to their schools and tell them what they did here and that the officers are human beings," said Constable Ken Hannah. The Ontario Ministry of Health has approved funding of $42,406 for seven health promotion projects in Halton. Two programs affect Oakville. Locally, the North Oakville Association for community Activities received almost $4,500 to continue to offer the Breakfast and Lunch Club. The program aims to improve the nutrniâ€" tional status and knowledge of schoolâ€"aged children. Children will be involved in the preparation, planning and serving of about 200 As the old wreck of a car burst into a ball of flames and thick, black smoke billowed into the sky, Nicole Zwolman beamed with delight.
