(Continued from page 9) still a job. Instead of sitting on a street corner in Toronto begâ€" ging for money, they are at least earning the money they do make. Its expected that many people won‘t appreciate what they do because to many peoâ€" ple I‘m sure they‘re considered an embarrassment to the city. Looking at it fromâ€" my point of view, a 16â€"yearâ€"old female, 1 would never have the courage or confidence to stand on a street corner waiting to wash windows. As long as English and Spam are respecting peoâ€" ple that would rather not have their car cleaned, not being rude or obstructing traffic, 1 think it‘s fine that they are there. Not only do 1 think it‘s fine, 1 applaud them and their effort. o There are a ton of people complaining about the squeegee kids and 1 personally think they are doing a rockin‘ job! 1 know English and Spam personally and they are termfic people who no matter what always try to be: on best terms with people whether it‘s saying hello or just giving them a nice little smile. 1 know a few other squeegee kids as well and there They rock! " is absolutely NOTHING wrong with any of them. They *Limited time offer O.A.C. Some restrictions may apply. OWN BOTH THE MK 100 WATER SOFTENER & THE CULLIGAN GOOD WATER MACHINE.

It‘s really not their fault that business owners can‘t see further than their looks when they go to get a "real" job. Peoâ€" ple must see past that! Give them a break will ya!! Shannon McMahon I happen ta know both ‘squeegee kids‘ who you are talking about in this article English, the one fellow, 1 actuâ€" ally met while walking down the street with my daughter. He wanted to say hello to my daughter and just to have a friendly conversation. 1 say hi to him all the time. 1 see him downtown. He is a very, very friendly individual. And 1 have watched him on more than one occasion on the corner. They do not obstruct traffic, they are very calm, very gentle in how they approach people. And if people say no them then they just move on. As far as Spam goes, this is a boy living on the street trying to make some form of living for himself. And 1 completely agree with the two when they talk about how in Toronto these things have to be banned and there is a lot of problems with it in Toronto Here in Waterloo. I would It‘s their only source of income invite anybody to sit out at anytime and watch these two people in action. 1 mean, let them take note of the fact that the bylaw office has not received any complaints about these people. That‘s because really there is nothing to comâ€" plain about. You can‘t complain about them being harassing. You can‘t complain about being intimidated by these people All these people are doing is trying to make a living. 1 don‘t think the squeegee kids in Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo need to go. I see no reason for it whatâ€" soever. And to anybody who would choose to stop and talk to them, maybe they would be able to get a little education and realize that these people aren‘t stupid, drug addicted, street kids. What they are are two young men who‘ve joined together to make a kind of entrepreneurship with their squeegeeing and they get along great. They pay their bills. They work like you and me, only they work all day outside for commussion. I‘m just appalled by the fact that these people may lase the only thing they do have, right now, the only source of income that they have. And it just bothers me a lot because they are such good people. Heather Mcaulay [ PAcroN«Associates INC. | M YORK NURSERY since 1946 1541 Highland Rd.
