Mystery continues to surround the fate and ongoing investigation of Fernando Anibal Acosta, the murder victim found on the side of Hwy. 7, west of Keele Street, in Vaughan three weeks ago. York Regional Police homicide unit investigators won’t answer any further questions regarding their investigation into the 38-year-old father, whose decom-

posed body was discovered by workers Aug. 5. The coroner deemed the death a murder. His examinations determined the murder occurred about four days before the body was found. Soon after, police released a blurry image via a media release, noting officers were looking to speak to a possible witness who might have passed Acosta before he was murdered.

(NB Iafrate declared a conflict on these items at a Committee of the Whole meeting as she had just received notice that a compliance audit had been filed by a party affected by these matters. After getting legal advice, she did not declare a conflict when they arose at council.)

I = number of separate issues which led to a conflict of interest being declared D = number of total Conflict of Interest declarations by that elected official Methodology: The Vaughan Citizen counted separate agenda item instances during Council and Committee of the Whole meetings in the current iteration of council.

is slated for development. - Terms of settlement for an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) appeal of Vaughan’s official plan - The Natural Heritage Network (NHN) Study, which restricts development on tracts of land throughout the city in order to allow native plant and animal species to thrive - The Keele Street interim control by-law review, which temporarily froze development along a stretch of that main road in Maple. Ferri contends that while he’s declared a conflict of interest in 26 agenda items the bulk of those declarations arose from three “discreet issues:” the OMB appeals of Vaughan’s official plan, the Keele Street interim control by-law and the area known as Block 40/47. “While council may have considered the matters several times (resulting in there being 26 agenda items), these are not individual issues,” he said. Ferri also pointed out

that some of his colleagues declared conflicts in some of these matters including the Keele Street interim control by-law and the Natural Heritage Network study. Ferri says the OMB appeals of Vaughan’s official plan, ongoing since 2010 when he was out of office, have resulted in him declaring interests in the VMC secondary plan, the Natural Heritage Network Study and terms of settlement for appeals of the official plan. Those three items form 11 of the 26 agenda items in which he’s declared conflicts. Regarding Block 40/47, Ferri says Loopstra Nixon no longer has an interest in this issue, thus ending his need to declare a conflict of interest. That item accounted for five of the 26 items in which he’s declared conflicts. As for the Keele Street interim control by-law, which formed just one of the 26 items he declared a conflict in, Ferri says it expires in September and will no longer be considered by council.

Nonetheless, some of his colleagues have taken to making wisecracks about how often he declares a conflict of interest. At one committee meeting, Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman reacted with mock surprise when Ferri didn’t declare an interest on any of the matters up for discussion that day. Ferri, however, is taking the matter very seriously. So much so, he went to court in June seeking a ruling on a specific matter that would essentially allow him to participate in discussions or votes on matters where his son is directly involved as a lawyer representing a client and where his son isn’t directly involved, but his law firm is involved. But the judge hearing the case ruled Ferri should declare a conflict of interest in both instances. He’s appealing the decision. Ferri pointed out that in a similar case the courts ruled former Toronto mayor Mel Lastman didn’t have a conflict of interest in matters affecting clients of the law firm at which his son was a partner. If Ferri wins his appeal, the number of times he has to declare a conflict could drop dramatically.

He also noted there’s an ongoing provincial review of the Conflict of Interest Act which may impact his situation. Regardless, Ferri says he will continue to “consider

each matter independently and make the best decision I can regarding whether or not I have a duty to declare a conflict of interest.” Speaking generally about conflicts of interest, Robert MacDermid, a political science professor at York University, said while councillors aren’t required to step down, if they’re repeatedly unable to vote on major issues then they can’t do what they were elected to do. “I think reasonable people and voters would say that if a member has to declare a conflict of interest on repeated important votes, then they can’t do the job of representing constituents,” he said. “Anyone who has these multiple conflicts can’t be representing the interests of citizens … and they can’t do that job properly.” Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua defended Ferri’s approach to the matter. “Mr. Ferri is doing what he needs to do to protect the integrity of the system and himself. I am sure that he would prefer to vote on these important files, but given the present reality, he feels he can’t.” Asked if he would resign if he winds up having a conflict of interest in several major issues being considered by city council, Ferri said: “I am not going to step down because I have followed my responsibilities under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, as I am required to do, on a very small percentage of the matters before council - most of which have concluded and will no longer be put before council or which Loopstra Nixon LLP no longer has an interest in.” Ferri added that residents he’s spoken with have “applauded the fact that I am open and honest and declare interests when I deem it necessary.”

‘We want to make this the epicentre of soccer in Canada’: Misley John Cudmore

jcudmore@yrmg.com

The Ontario Soccer Association has some new digs to brag about. The provincial organization unveiled the jewel in its Vaughan location Sunday with a day-long list of activities, including two semi-pro matches involving prime tenants connected to Toronto FC. Located next door to the Ontario Soccer Centre on Martin Grove Road, the upgraded field was unveiled officially in a day-long grand opening, which featured soccer activities ranging from grassroots instruction and a tip of the cap to 2015 Canadian soccer hall of fame inductees. The pitch has been in use throughout the season, but is in prime time readiness for

the day’s events. “Sometimes the stars align. From our perspective, the facility was due an upgrade,” said Ontario Soccer Association president Ron Smale, during intermission in a League1 game between TFC Academy and Durham Region Mastera FA Saints. “We were approached by TFC as they were interested in pursuing a licence for a USL franchise. Our study showed Vaughan is a city of growth and it’s a place they wanted to be.” A United Soccer League match pitting TFC against Charlotte Independence is slated for 3 p.m. The stadium upgrade is one in a series of steps planned to promote and improve soccer in the region and province. The OSA is hoping to establish stronger links to TFC in future – and the centre is yet another step towards that goal. The TFC II squad which competes in the USL will call the centre home for its 14

“It’s nice to have that passage in Ontario. We need that pathway. Soccer has been fragmented in Canada. We want to find ways to work with the Canadian Soccer Association and TFC. We need to simplify the pathways to the higher levels.” Also added to the preexisting field are washrooms and a media area, with plans for future upgrades. Additionally, seating could be expanded in future to accommodate as many as 5,000 spectators. “This is still growing and our goal is to turn it into a professional environment,” said Smale. “We hope we are able to create dreams for kids not only in Vaughan, but all across the province. This is a great chance for kids seven, eight and nine years old who have dreams and sets a standard for them.”

OSA executive director Johnny Misley said the organization is looking toward big things in future. “We want to make this the epicentre for soccer in Canada,” said Misley. “This one of very few fields in Canada with FIFA 2-star turf and is one of the top fields in Canada for artificial turf.” In addition to use by the TFC entry in the USL, the pitch will host other highprofile events, including showcase events such as Ontario Cup championship games and Ontario Player Development League programs. The connection between the semi-pro team and community-based programming offers a unique opportunity for soccer to push its brand. “It’s nice for us to be able to connect the game from grassroots amateur soccer to the semi-professional ranking in Ontario,” said Misley.

Can crackdown do enough?

D

o all these people talking and texting on their cellphones as they drive make you feel inferior? That’s how I feel — like my life must be pretty ho-hum when I have nothing more important to do than navigate this big piece of metal down the road to my destination. Don’t I have an urgent phone call to make or text message to answer? “Affirmative Steve. Sell my $1M in Google stock as soon as market opens. thx. :) And about my Apple shares... “Wait, have a call. “Buckingham Palace? Certainly I have some thoughts on stopping the unauthorized photos of Prince George. Glad you reached out. Although isn’t he a little young to be smoking cigars, partying with princesses in his playpen? I’ll send a private message. “Wait, I have a call.... “Becky, I know you’re only 10, but if you don’t perform that emergency tracheotomy with a pen, the president is not going to survive. Be brave! I’ll send you an instructional video. Check your whatsapp.” No, unfortunately or fortunately, my life is not nearly as interesting as the life of every other driver around me, seems to be. I just put down my phone and drive my car to where I mean to go, and if I do ever need to make a very brief call, I do a handsfree thing that did not exactly cost very much to install, considering the alternative is breaking the law or, heaven forbid, crashing into something or someone because my attention has been divided between my phone and the road. Although where I tend to drive, incredibly, there are people all around me who have a phone either firmly held to their ear or, the one I find interesting, firmly held in front of their face as they drive along. Then, of course, there’s the car that is drifting over the line every few hundred metres, driver texting and driving their merry way along. Do you pull up beside the person with head pointed upward

Bernie O’Neill but eyes looking down, the light changes, and their car stays put? I’m not sure who they think they are fooling but, hey, it’s entertaining. All talented multi-taskers, these drivers speed up and weave in and out of traffic once they do put the phone down, and I don’t mind, because, of course, they are on their way to the emergency room to save the Pope or are headed to the Pentagon to advise U.S. generals about their response to an impending nuclear attack. Me, I’m just driving. This week, new fines came in to effect in Ontario that have hiked the penalty for people who are driving distractedly to $490. But considering it’s not unusual to be in a car and see the driver ahead of you, behind you and beside you on their cellphone, either talking or texting or, I guess, online, looking at funny cat videos, I wonder how much impact it will have. That’s a lot of cracking down for one crackdown. One solution might be to take people’s cars away, so they can ride transit while using the phone. Could be a boon for Viva or GO. Although perhaps if police confiscated their phones, that would get people’s attention, because that appears to be the one item they dearly love, in some cases it would appear, more than life itself. Officer: “Sir, I’m taking your phone to the police station.” Driver: “My phone? I’ll come with you!” I hope the crackdown works. In the meantime, as long as you drive under the assumption everyone else on the road is either inebriated or posting to Facebook, you will have taken a sufficient amount of caution.

Does balanced budget betray NDP ideals? Four years ago, I paid attention to the federal election for the first time. Throughout the campaign, one party stuck out in my mind: the NDP. The ideals and goals put forth by the late Jack Layton fell in line with what I believe Canada should do for its citizens and the world. I was sure that come the next election I would be supporting the NDP, as they sought to remove Stephen Harper from the prime minister’s office. However, a lot can change in four years. After Jack Layton’s passing, the NDP found a new leader in Tom Mulcair, a lawyer from Ottawa. At first, he seemed to be the perfect candidate to carry on Layton’s legacy. He seemed to share the same left-leaning ideals and is an excellent debater. Before

this election campaign, I was certain once again that I would support the NDP. However, in this campaign Mulcair has made some announcements that have not only surprised me, but some of his own party members, as well. For example, he has promised to run a balanced budget in his first year as prime minister. This announcement not only shocked me, but, I believe, many other NDP supporters. The NDP’s priority has always been to invest in services for Canadian citizens. Mulcair seems to be trying to appeal to right-leaning voters, who are perhaps fed up with Harper. I do understand what Mulcair is trying to convey by promising a balanced budget. He is trying to get undecided voters and disillusioned Conservatives to vote for him, by projecting an image of being a safe and responsible leader.

However, by projecting this image of himself and the NDP, he is ultimately betraying the progressive ideas the NDP were founded on, and he is betraying the NDP supporters who have worked so hard to become the official opposition, an unprecedented feat. When he was first elected to be the leader of the NDP, Mulcair looked like the perfect candidate to finally defeat Harper. However, this campaign has revealed much about his strategy to accomplish this. I feel he has betrayed the people who have worked so hard to get him where he is today, and compromised the ideals of the NDP. Mulcair should not be the NDP leader who finally becomes prime minister, as that honour should be reserved for a leader who respects the progressive nature of the party.

More than $10,000 raised through community event From front page

And, in the end, about $10,700 was raised through the Alesandro’s Wish to Walk community barbecue. The money goes toward helping the Ciampa family reach their goal of raising $150,000 to cover the cost of what they believe will be a life-altering surgery for their seven-year-old son Alesandro, who has a form of cerebral palsy known as spastic diplegia and needs a walker to get around.

“Honestly, more than anything else, (the first Vaughan Citizen) article propelled everyone in the community to reach out to us,” said Shana Ciampa, Alesandro’s mother, Saturday afternoon as Top-40 cover band Twisted Tango, got people dancing. “I think it must have touched their heartstrings because the support has been amazing.” Among those coming by the park Saturday to show their support for the sweetnatured youngster were

Vaughan Regional Councillors Michael Di Biase, Mario Ferri and Gino Rosati. “This is all about helping a child in need,” Rosati said. “I think it’s a very humane thing to do and hopefully, with this fundraising effort, Alesandro will be able to have a muchneeded operation that will most likely allow him to walk. To me, it’s a very, very important issue and a very good cause.” The Ciampas are hoping that a surgical procedure known as selective dorsal

rhizotomy (SDR), offered by Dr. T.S. Park at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, will enable Alesandro to walk unaided and, ultimately, live more independently. But they’ve been forced to raise a large sum of money needed to pay for the surgery and the necessary physiotherapy that follows because they can’t get OHIP coverage. While the surgery is listed among procedures eligible for coverage under the province’s publicly funded health insurance plan, to qualify the Ciampas need a recognized neurosurgeon from Ontario to assess Alesandro and recommend the surgery as beneficial for him. The trouble is that the Ciampas haven’t been able to find an Ontario physician deemed “clinically competent” who will agree to do an assessment and provide a recommendation. The reasons given by the surgeons the Ciampas consulted have varied depending on the hospital they’re affiliated with. So while the Ciampas continue to fight for OHIP coverage, they’re forging ahead,

Garrett Lewis: memorial campaign Vaughan jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

The people who loved former Woodbridge resident Garrett Lewis the most are trying to ensure his death is not in vain. And they’re getting a lot of help to accomplish that goal. So far, a campaign to raise funds on gofundme.com to build a memorial to Lewis has brought in more than $7,000. Darren Brand, Lewis’ uncle from Ajax, said he created the crowd-funding page to help his Aurora family members, who also have ties to Vaughan, pay off his student debts. However, since its creation and success, money will also be put aside to fund a bursary for children to attend the church camp where Lewis used to work and for a memorial. It was Aug. 20 when Lewis, 23, drowned near Saugeen First Nations while metreand-a-half waves crashed on the rocky shore. His body was pulled from the water days later by OPP divers. Although Lewis was an excellent swimmer, he was

carried out into the lake as the undertow became especially violent. “We believe he might have hit his head…his younger brother and a friend who took life-saving training tried to save him,” he said. “They have been reliving it…it’s been pretty brutal on family. His parents were very invested in him, he was their pride and joy.” Brand created the funding page to help the family deal with the almost $10,000 of university debts Lewis compiled during his time at Carleton University in Ottawa, where he had been studying engineering. “The last thing he would have wanted was to saddle them with debts,” he said. “The last thing you want to deal with is finances when you’re going through trauma.” Brand further explained just how well attended Lewis’ funeral was, noting Kleinburg’s, Cornerstone Community Church was the fullest the family had seen it. Echoing the countless tributes paid to Lewis over the past few weeks, Brand said

Lewis was a “hero” to his four boys and “best friends” with his son Micah. “He loved kids and never tired of playing with them,” he said. “He always had time for people.” He added that he felt that a memorial – adorned with photographs of Lewis and possibly a number of other victims – could help warn people that Lake Huron and Georgian Bay are two very different bodies of water. “They are similar bodies of water in the sense that you can walk out quite far, but Lake Huron has an undertow you don’t find in Georgian Bay,” he added. “I feel as though many might confuse the two.” Lewis’ death is not only being discussed in York Region. Safety issues were on the docket at the Municipality of Kincardine last Wednesday night as three delegates signed up to speak during a safety audit.

Looking for feedback on city hall space Trying to make Vaughan vaughan.ca. Alternatively, the city has also created an online feedback at http://myvaughan. mindmixer.com/ There are also plans in the works for a panel discussion featuring experts in urban design, architecture and community development. A date has not yet been set for the panel discussion. It’s all part of an public engagement campaign dubbed My Vaughan City Hall. “Public opinion is a powerful tool that provides direction for how we move our agenda forward,” Mayor

By Adam Martin-Robbins

amartinrobbins@yrmg.com

The city wants to pick your brain about the types of events, activities and programs you’d like to see offered at city hall. To make that happen officials are encouraging residents to participate online either by tweeting ideas to @City_ of_Vaughan using the hashtag #MyVaughanCityHall; commenting on the city’s Facebook page at facebook. com/thecityofvaughan or emailing vaughanvision@

Maurizio Bevilacqua said. “This mindful and inclusive approach to planning is in keeping with our vision to create communities that are livable and attractive to residents and visitors alike.” Planning for the civic centre campus, at Keele Street and Major Mackenzie Drive began back in 2002. At that time, the concept was to develop the city-owned property into a campus featuring a new city hall, a library, a performing arts and cultural centre as well recreation facilities and other government offices. The plan was revised in 2005 and again in 2013 at which time city council

directed staff to seek public input on the future development of the campus. In 2014, city council approved funding of $50,000 to undertake a public consultation process, which will be led by LURA Consulting. Currently, the site is home to city hall and a four-storey affordable housing complex for seniors while the avantgarde resource library is under construction. Input garnered from the public to date shows there’s interest in seeing a number of additions to the campus including an ice rink, a splash pad, a bike trail, performance space and a community garden. People have also expressed an interest in seeing the campus used for movie screenings, pop-up galleries and a farmers market, among other things.

more age-friendly With the so-called grey wave expected to swell over the next decade, the city is taking steps to try to make the community more “age-friendly” for local senior citizens. Officials are in the midst of developing an Older Adult Strategy, aimed at helping seniors lead longer and healthier lives. Seniors currently make up 11.1 per cent of Vaughan’s population. It’s predicted that number will continue to climb until at least 2031 as the community’s baby boomers, who make up 25 per cent of the local population, reach age 65. The Older Adult Strategy is meant to address the evolving recreational, social, cultural and physical needs of seniors throughout the next 10 years.

Its objectives include: - Assessing existing older adult programs, services, facilities, policies, clubs, fees and resources - Identifying older adult leisure trends and best practices - Consulting with older adults and stakeholders to identify gaps in program and service delivery Residents who are 55 or older are being encouraged to fill out the Older Adult Strategy survey, available online at vaughan.ca/RecFYI. Printed copies of the survey are available at community centres across the city. The older adult strategy is being funded through a $50,000 planning grant from Ontario Seniors Secretariat. – Adam Martin-Robbins

There’s some long-awaited good news for wheelchair users who don’t drive and thus rely on accessible modes of transportation to help them get around town. The city, earlier this month, issued an accessible taxi licence to a cabbie with Concord-based Astro Taxi who has a vehicle with a rear ramp. It’s the first time such a licence has been handed out in more than a decade and a second one is expected to be issued next month, with plans for even more to be rolled out in the future, according to city officials. Woodbridge resident Randy McNeil, who has been wheelchair-bound for

Photo submitted

The city last month issued its first accessible taxi cab license in more than a decade to an operator with Astro Taxi who drives this vehicle outfitted with a rear ramp. almost 10 years, is pleased by the news. He says the aging population has driven up demand

for York Region’s Mobility Plus service — the main provider of accessible transportation to people with disabilities

— and it’s become difficult to book a ride, especially on short notice. “You can’t always schedule your rides and then get a ride because of the number of seniors populating our mobility buses now,” he said. “It’s just becoming increasingly more difficult to use the services. If you need a taxi, and you try to get one, you’re out of luck.” Mobility Plus users typically have to book a ride at least a day before their trip. There is a same-day ser-

vice, known as Scrip Ride, for people with those who have to take a last-minute or unplanned trip, but only a limited number of vehicles are available. Issuing accessible licences to private taxi operators gives wheelchair users greater flexibility when it comes to getting where they need to go, says Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua. “Providing accessible taxis is part of our goal to create an accessible community by 2025 and demonstrated our

commitment to moving this city forward without leaving anyone behind,” he said. Wheelchair accessible cabs differ from regular taxis in that they offer ramp or lift access from the passenger side or rear of the vehicle. Those operating accessible cabs must also undergo specialized training. While Astro Taxi holds the new accessible licence, all other taxi brokerages operating in Vaughan can forward requests for an accessible cab to Astro.

In a further response to an online comment, which speculated he was involved in the mob, left below a story listing Acosta’s funeral details, Quiroz said nothing could be further from the truth. “He wasn’t involved in any mob or illegal activities,” he wrote. “Please stop assuming you know everything. He wasn’t just some mob boy, he was loved by many and they will find who did this.” Quiroz refused to speak over the phone or in person, explaining police had asked Acosta’s mother not to communicate with newspapers.

Surveillance video captured a very grainy image of a witness who was walking west on the south side of Hwy. 7, it reads, adding investigators believe the witness would have walked past the victim before he was murdered. Since then, there has been silence and police are remaining tight-lipped about this particular homicide. It remains unknown what weapon, if any, was used in the homicide, what Acosta’s whereabouts were prior to the murder and whether his body had been moved after the murder. Police have reportedly told the Acosta family not to speak to the media, but one of his friends contacted

yorkregion.com after Acosta’s funeral. Americo Quiroz said he and his older brother grew up with Acosta near Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue West in North York. He explained Acosta was an only child and a huge soccer fan. “Fernando came from a home of high morals and his parents worked really hard to provide him with everything he needed,” he said via email. “His death came as a shock to my family and me. It is truly heartbreaking that someone would do this to a person like Fernando. His immediate family and friends and parents are in need of closure. Who did this and took away a good father, son and friend? We miss him greatly.”

Bolton woman charged By Jeremy Grimaldi

jgrimaldi@yrmg.com

Acting as Water Matrix’s CFO and controller, it’s alleged Anna Carnevale not only lied about her qualifications to get her job, but then defrauded the the water conservation company out of $1.2 million over the next six years. Although York Regional Police Det.-Const. Heidi Hyland alleges Carnevale carefully covered her tracks

with bookkeeping techniques, she added the company, located on Hanlan Road in Woodbridge, eventually caught up to her and turned the information over to police. Now the 43-year-old Bolton mother and wife is charged with fraud and theft over $5,000 as well as uttering forged documents. “It’s a horrible breach of trust,” Hyland told yorkregion.com. “Anyone should be able to live on the money she was earning. You hire an employee and you just expect her to be honest.”

Hyland said Carnevale, who is reported to have earned about $160,000 annually, is alleged to have purchased countless items on a credit card and then used company funds, through cheque and petty cash to pay those off. Some of the thousands of transactions include: Home Depot, Adidas, Shell, Living Lighting as well as renovations to her home. Carnevale was arrested Aug. 27 and is now out on bail and scheduled to appear before Newmarket court Oct. 1.

The newly amalgamated United Ways of Toronto and York Region today launched an inaugural regionwide campaign with a goal to raise a record $100 million. Toronto Mayor John Tory helped kick-start the ambitious initiative that runs until the end of the year. This historic fundraiser will bring together more than 164,000 supporters from the waterfront of downtown Toronto to the southern shores of Lake Simcoe, United Way 2015 campaign chairperson Mark Wiseman said. The target is the largest amount the charity has ever raised to directly invest in improving lives locally, said Wiseman who serves as Canada Pension Plan Investment Board president and CEO.

In addition to the $100 million, the agency is committed to raising additional millions on behalf of other charities.

“This campaign is about so much more than the money we raise. It’s about improving people’s lives in the communities where they live and work.” –Susan McIsaac Funds raised will support a network of 220 agencies across Toronto and York Region and innovative United Way initiatives as part of the agency’s new strategic plan, United Way president

and CEO Susan McIsaac said. “This campaign is about so much more than the money we raise,” she said “It’s about improving people’s lives in the communities where they live and work.” The campaign has already had a strong start thanks to the generosity of donors Donald Guloien and Irene Boychuk. The Guloien Family Challenge Grant will provide up to $1.2 million to match all new donations. “I’m honoured and humbled to be joined by more than 25,000 volunteers in more than 760 workplaces as we unite around a common goal — building a stronger Toronto and York Region for everyone,” Wiseman said.
