He was also front and centre helping to distribute Hazardous Waste Bins to his fellow residents on a recent Saturday. Iroquois Ridge has been chosen as a test group. There were 400 ‘hazâ€"bins‘ to give away. Only about 230 people came to get them. Pickios was disappointâ€" ed, to say the least. He took seven of them home to give to his immeâ€" diate neighbors (along with a lecâ€" ture, no doubt). American speaks his mind "The excitement of an election just doesn‘t seem to turn people on around here," he noted. (And later admitted that Americans are not much better.) Canadian apathy is an onâ€"going point of contention for this vocal Yank â€" especially when it comes to elections. As an American he canâ€" not vote, but he has acted as scrutiâ€" neer in a couple of local elections, where the voter turnâ€"out was pretty, well, pathetic. There is no doubt Pickios, of Greek heritage, but born and raised in New York City, believes there are obvious differences between Americans and Canadians. Though the 60â€"ish gentleman has owned a small, industrial airâ€"duct business in Toronto for 21 years, he still wears these differences â€" proudly â€" like a badge. He said thoughtfully (but with Q. When is it time for my child to get braces? A. It depends. Sorry we are so vague, but you must realize the goal of orthodontics.

JONATHAN KAZDAN mischief in his eyes), "You know, I was thinking about it this morning, taking a shower. Americans have more freedom. That‘s a big part of it. We have the Bill of Rights in our Constitution. Property rights are a bis thins with us." This is how he explains his symâ€" pathy for the businessman who is responsible for the Grand Plaza fiasco. The Pickios preference would be to give the developer a break, give him a chance to break even, (or even make a few bucks) by building enough townhouses on the property to make financial sense. He ‘feels‘ for the guy. "I don‘t think it‘s right that the state (in this case the town) should be dictating what this guy can do with his own property," he said. Pickios knows there are other opinions and all very well repreâ€" sented. One group wants the neighâ€" borhood plaza refurbished, freshly stocked with services like conveâ€" nience store, bank, pizza parlor, whatever. Another group wants the plaza razed, bulldozed, wiped from the face of the earth as a bad idea in the first place.

"What worries me is that comâ€" promise doesn‘t seem to be one of the options," Pick added. "So nothâ€" ing will be done for another five years." (Big sigh.) Only time will tell.
