Widow found slain
Her son is charged with murder in the death in the complex in
Westmount.
By Katherina

MALONEY and Daniela
SIMUNAC, Sun
Media, Wed., December 26, 2007
Cranbrook Trace is a caring little community, a clutch of high-end
London condos where residents greet their neighbours by name
and keep an eye out for one another.
Some in the Westmount complex would dutifully check in on Helen
VICARY, calling every few days to say hello and see how the kind,
elderly widow was getting along.
Then, a few weeks ago, she stopped answering the phone.
She was no longer seen picking up her mail, either.
Now, a 48-year-old man, identified by neighbours as
VICARY's
son, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of a woman
whose body was found at his mother's home on Christmas Eve.
Police haven't publicly identified the woman.
"We did notice that we hadn't seen
(VICARY) in awhile," Eric
JOHNSON, who lives a few doors away, said yesterday. "In the
last month, we hadn't seen her at all."
Monday,
London police swooped down on the
VICARY home, unit 23
at 505 Cranbrook Rd., while searching for someone reported missing
that morning.
A woman was found dead inside.
That night, neighbours say police went door-to-door asking about
Helen VICARY.
Craig James
VICARY, 48, whom, neighbours identified as Helen's
son, is charged with second-degree murder. He had been living
at the condo, police said yesterday.
With investigators still scouring the home for evidence, neighbours
who would be otherwise occupied with the holiday were shaking
their heads over the city's sixth homicide of the year.
"Obviously, we're all shocked by it," said one man. "It's really
not hit home yet. We really haven't had a whole lot of time to
reflect on it."
One neighbour said
VICARY moved into the condo about three years
ago but had lived alone since her husband died Christmas Day
two years ago. Her grown children live in the area.
Investigators were first called to the condo Monday after a report
of a missing person. Police haven't said who notified them of
the disappearance.
Police then searched for a brown, four-door Pontiac Grand Am,
which was registered to Helen
VICARY.
JOHNSON, who described the elderly
VICARY as kind and friendly,
said the homicide is "unnerving… a close community. A lot of
elderly people and we watch out for each other."
The Christmas Eve discovery marked the third serious incident
in London this month. Early December 8, 24-year-old Anthony
BRUN
was found injured outside an Old South home and later died in
hospital. Gordon Tyler
McCURDY, 33, is charged with second-degree
murder. Later that day, teacher Ed
DICKSON/DIXON was seriously hurt in
a south-end parking lot shooting. Angela
SEDORE, who taught with
DICKSON/DIXON, was killed in a murder-suicide, apparently at the hands
of Ray KOVACS, whose body was found in her sport utility vehicle
after a police chase.

VICHERT o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2007-11-24 published
VICHERT,
Gordon
Stewart (1934-2007)
Gordon VICHERT was born to missionary parents, Clarence
VICHERT
and Constance
WELCH, in Ibin, West China, and was raised in Ya-an
speaking Mandarin and English. In the nineteen thirties, this
remote part of China was frontier country: before the age of
one, Gordon had survived a riverboat sinking and a bandit attack
that killed his nurse as he lay in her arms. His schooling was
handled by his parents until he returned from China to attend
King Edward High School in Vancouver and Lewis and Clark High
School in Spokane, Washington, where he received both the Bausch
and Lomb Science Award and the Good Citizenship Award for his
thorough knowledge of the U.S. constitution. As editor of the
school newspaper, Gordon interviewed Senator Joe McCarthy who,
he felt, was embarrassed by questions much more challenging than
expected. The subsequent article in the school paper led to calls
to have Gordon expelled.
After high school, Gordon worked in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Despite
the offer of a scholarship to Reed University, he chose to attend
McMaster in Hamilton, the university of many of his forebears,
and where his great uncle, Harold Stanley
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, was Dean of
Theology. At McMaster, he proceeded to a degree in Honours English,
winning a number of prizes and medals, including the Alexander
Scholarship. During several summers, Gordon taught English and
worked as a labourer for Frontier College at Niagara, Wawa, and
Kitimat, British Columbia. Winning an Honour "M" for editing
the student newspaper, debating and other activities, he graduated
with high honours from McMaster in 1957.
He completed his M.A. at Saint Michaels College at the University
of Toronto before he and his wife, Nancy
NABLO, traveled to Enugu,
Nigeria, where he taught English Literature for 2 years at the
Nigerian College of Arts, Science, and Technology and where their
daughter Nicola Constance was born.
A second daughter, Rebecca Suzanne, was born during a short period
teaching at McMaster, before Gordon completed his Ph.D. at Birkbeck
College, University of London, England on a Commonwealth Scholarship.
Research for his Ph.D at the British Museum included certain
ancient volumes which could be viewed only under the supervision
of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Returning to Ontario, he became a member of the McMaster Faculty
of English for several years and loved hiking on the Bruce Trail
with Nicola, Rebecca, and young son Marcus Gregory.
Gordon left academic life to become both a candidate and an administrator
for the Ontario New Democratic Party, first in Hamilton and later
in Toronto, holding the positions of General Secretary and Ontario
President. As a candidate for the New Democratic Party in the
riding of Hamilton-Wentworth, Gordon was among the first in the
long fight to clean up pollution in Hamilton and preserve Coot's
Paradise and other wilderness areas. Gordon enjoyed telling the
story of giving an impassioned anti-pollution speech at an all-candidates
meeting; after what he thought was an especially well-reasoned
plea for new environmental policies, he turned the microphone
over to one of his opponents, the front runner in the election,
who cleared his throat and intoned gravely, "I too, am for pollution."
Gordon and his second wife, Janice
McARTHUR, moved to Saskatchewan
where he worked with Premier Allan Blakeney as a special assistant
and speech writer, and where he organized the Cultural Policy
Secretariat. A son, Keir John, was born in Regina.
Seconded to Roy Romanow in November of 1981, Gordon was among
the advisors assisting in the "Kitchen Accord" which many believe
helped enshrine the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Constitution.
Those who encountered Gordon in the political world knew his
principles, historical expertise, and passion for debate made
him a great ally and formidable opponent.
In Saskatchewan, as he was enjoying a new career and new family,
Gordon was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Relocating to
West China, he taught English for two years in Xining, near his
boyhood home, and where virtually no Westerners had been seen
since before the Cultural Revolution. When he passed through
his childhood town, local people could be heard calling his father's
name. During this period, Gordon and Janice's daughter Hilary
Jane (Ning Ning) was born, within view of the Tibetan Himalayas.
Gordon and his family settled in Vancouver, British Columbia
where he lectured in English Literature for the University of
British Columbia and the Open Learning University as much as
his health would allow. For a two-year term, he was appointed
by the British Columbia Lieutenant Governor to the Medical and
Health Care Services Appeal Board.
It was Gordon's belief that higher education should be available
to anyone who wanted it, not just those who could afford it.
He particularly enjoyed his work at Frontier College and at the
Open
Learning
University. Doctor
VICHERT will be remembered by his
students as a vibrant and accomplished lecturer whose particular
interest was Eighteenth Century Satire.
Eldest of three boys, Gordon was brother to Bruce and
to Alan,
both of British Columbia.
Gordon's Friends and family are grateful that he so easily shared
his love of conversation, travel, political observation, literature,
hiking and film. Everyone who knew him continues to benefit from
this generosity.
Donations in Gordon's memory to the Pacific Parkinson's Research
Centre or the Bruce Trail Society are gratefully requested in
lieu of flowers.
Please write to gordonvichertmemorial@gmail.com for information
about a memorial service to be held in early 2008.
