“Back to Africa?” a The Avengers  TV series / Daktari crossover story

Part 2/?

Part 1/? here:

She kicked against the Jeep's flat tire in frustration. The second breakdown within two hours - this time the left front wheel! That bloody car was a piece of garbage! And still more than ten miles to the Wameru station. At least that was what the sign promised a mile ago. Cathy looked towards the sky. It was soon getting dark, in a few minutes there would be no daylight left, no chance to repair the car in time. She sighed. In the African jungle, the night was not the safest time for being out there alone.

Everything had gone smoothly until now. The flight to Kapstadt had arrived on schedule, so did the connecting flight to Nairobi. Back in Kenya - for the first time since she left Africa in 1954. She stayed one night at a hotel near the airport and took a plane to Ngoro in the early afternoon. No baggage lost, no trouble with her rifles at the customs office, no damage to the expensive camera equipment. She picked up the car at the garage near the airfield and headed towards her destination - Wameru, the research centre for animal behaviour. The driver of a bush taxi was heading in the right directing, but not to the Wameru research centre itself. She followed the vehicle, which was more than slightly overloaded with people and animals, goods and fruits, but drove nevertheless with a remarkable speed on the dusty road through the bush. After three hours the driver waved at a crossroads his goodby, pointed her in the right direction towards the station. A few minutes later that she had the first trouble with the car when she realised the fuel gauge rapidly felt. The Jeep was losing petrol. It was tricky, but with the help of some duck tape, she was able to fix the damage to the fuel hose and pushed it onto the remainder stub as a temporary solution.

And now this!

She had to make a decision. No other car had crossed her path and Cathy knew from experience that it could be hours, even days before she would eventually meet someone else out there. All she could do was wait until the next morning before she could make the repairs. She had to sleep in the safety of the car. Trying to make it to Wameru on foot, before darkness was not possible and would be dangerous anyway. Ammunition and her hunting rifle however were stored in the Rover. She knew it was forbidden to use it on the reserve, but she would use the weapon against predators if her life was in danger - because the night was the time of the hunting animals. They would be soon out there looking for prey. Cathy knew, there was no sound comparable to the roar of a lion. First, a sound, dull in the distance, then it would come closer and closer. A pride of lions or a single hunter, elegant and deadly at the same time. Or a leopard - climbing the tree quickly and silently. The big cat would wait for his prey, then pouncing on the unsuspecting prey, killing it with a targeted bite.

But the predators would not come within a few meters of the car at night when she lit a fire. All animals were afraid of the bush fires and always stayed at a safe distance of fire.

Cathy started collecting wood.

At Wameru Paula fixed in the kitchen a large glass of iced tea and put it on the small round table of the roofed veranda, where her father sat in front of the radio device. Dr Tracy thankfully nodded at his daughter while he spoke in the microphone. “This is Wameru station, Dr Tracy calling the District Office. Hedley, this is Marsh Tracy, please come in.” No reply. Daktari took a sip of the tea and tried again the radio. “Wameru station calling district officer Hedley. Please come in.”

Mike listened to the static from the unit. “There is no use, Marsh, it is already past nine. I guess there's nobody in the office anymore.”

Marsh rubbed his chin as he always did when he was nervous or pensive and nodded. “I guess, you're right, Mike. It's too late.”

“Should I get the car?”

“Dad, please be careful! It's a new moon and already pitch black out there!”

Marsh turned around taking his 18 years old daughter’s hand.

“I know it’s a risk hon, but we have to go. Maybe our guest is in trouble, had an accident or is injured, alone out there. We have to go.”

Paula looked at her father and realised that he looked not only worried but also tired. The young woman glanced at her African friend Mike, who silently nodded to her.

“Dad, please take Mike with you, will you?”

„You’re right, I guess it's better if we go there together.“

Mike smiled at her. “And I promise, I'll drive carefully, Paula.”

Clarence, the cross-eyed lion, who had been already dozing, blinked in surprise when Marsh Tracy and Mike headed towards the blue Zebra as anyone on Wameru called the large Landrover. The lion loudly yawned, wondering why his humans disturbed his sleep at this time of the night. He roared softly, stretched out and continued his nap under his favourite bush.

  Gladys Handy

Gladys Grace Shumate Handy of Roaring River, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, May 26, 2019. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family while they serenaded her with many of her favorite gospel songs and reading of scripture.  She was lovingly cared for by her sons and daughters as her health declined. She was visited daily by friends and extended family members. Psalm 116:15 says "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints".

     Funeral services were May 29,  at Middle Cross Baptist Church with Pastor Jason Whitley, Pastor Donnie Shumate and Pastor Joe Sturgill officiating.   Burial was at Middle Cross Baptist church cemetery.  

     Gladys was born to the late Charles "Charlie" and Mamie Lowe Shumate on May 10, 1928.

     Gladys was the widow of Lonnie Caldwell Handy with whom she was married for 63 years.

     She was preceded in death by her husband, two daughters; 11 month old Clara Belle Handy and Peggy (Steven) Knox, a great grandson; Caleb Benfield, two sisters; Mable (Elder Fred) Shumate Dillard and Irene (Rayford) Shumate Handy Crouch and her brothers; Tracy (Faye) Shumate, Paul (Hazel) Shumate, Clay Shumate, Jimmy Shumate and Conard (Louie) Shumate.

     She is survived by her children; Joyce (Bobby) Handy Faw of Hays, Marie (Milton) Handy Jolly of North Wilkesboro, Carl (Tammy) Handy of Roaring River, Mary (James) Handy Minton of Hays, Ray (Deborah) Handy of North Wilkesboro.

     Gladys worked in the cafeteria of Roaring River Elementary School and was a homemaker. She had a strong love of family and her faith was extremely important to her.  Her life verse was………"As for me and my house we will serve the Lord" Joshua 24:15, which was also her testimony throughout her life. Going to church was her greatest joy.   She was a charter member of Middle Cross Baptist Church in the Rock Creek community and was also their oldest member. She was faithful to her church as long as her health allowed and would cry on Sundays when she was not able to attend.  She especially loved her Pastor Bro. Jason Whitley and wife Elaine, and her Senior Adult Sunday Class that was taught, for years, by Bro. Earl Alexander and which is now taught by her son Ray Handy. Gladys grew up in the depression years and learned to be frugal at an early age.  She lived a simple and humble life. She liked to use things until they were worn out or rusted out and only then would they be thrown away. She was a skilled seamstress who made items of clothing for all of her children while they were young. She quilted blankets and sewed handmade items for all of her grandchildren.  She was an avid gardener especially loved helping her son Carl with his garden which they were both blessed by sharing with others. She particularly loved roses and hens and diddles. She enjoyed collecting antique glassware, hens on nest and thimbles from around the world. One of her favorite pastimes was chatting on the phone with family and friends and she always did what she could to help others.

     She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, she left a legacy that will last for generations to come; you can say hers was a life well lived.

     Special thanks to Wake Forest Care at Home Hospice; Pauline Watts, Megan Cheek, Ashley White, Kimberly Bush, Ben Lankford and retired Hospice Nurse, Judy Kirk.

   Geraldine (Gerry) Haynes Elledge, 87

Geraldine (Gerry) Haynes Elledge, 87, passed away after a long illness on Sunday, May 26, with her loving family by her side.

She was born to Alma Macy Haynes and Hayes Haynes in Jonesville, NC on March 5, 1932. She graduated from Jonesville High School and then Grace Hospital in Morganton, NC, as a registered nurse. She began her forty-one year nursing career at the old Wilkes Hospital and then at the current Wilkes Regional Hospital. She specialized in Labor and Delivery, assisting with the birth and care of thousands of newborns. She often gave the on air "Stork Report," a feature on WKBC radio.

Throughout her life, children of all ages were drawn to her, and she had a unique talent for calming their fears and tears. Many friends, neighbors, and members of her Mountain View Baptist Church family affectionately refer to her as a second mother because of her influence on them as children and adults. She was known for her kindness and for always serving others before herself.

She met her husband, John Sherman Elledge (Jack) on a blind date. The couple married in 1956, lived in North Wilkesboro, and then built a house on Haymeadow  Road in Hays where they have lived since. She was "the best mother in the world" to four children: John (Johnny) Sherman Elledge Jr., Martha Carol Elledge, Elizabeth (Beth) Haynes Elledge Gossett, and Amy Maria Elledge. She was the beloved grandmother of eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Gerry loved to read and passed this love of reading onto her children. She often would read late into the night, when she wasn't staying up late to cook, sew, or prepare for holiday celebrations. She loved to garden and created bouquets from her roses and zinnias. She established and landscaped a memorial garden for her daughter Amy. She was a talented homemaker, known for her love of cooking and baking. Her cookies, cakes, salsa, homemade strawberry jam, ice cream, and spaghetti sauce were favorites of her family, and she baked bread almost every week for decades. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren have fond memories of what they called G-bread. She collected dolls and displayed them in her home. Her nursing class held a reunion every year for over seventy years that she attended and was a highlight of her year. She enjoyed picnics and camping trips on the Blue  Ridge Parkway, trips to The Great Smoky Mountains area, and enjoyed traveling extensively throughout the United States and to Mexico, especially after her retirement. Over the past twenty years she created scrapbooks for all her children and grandchildren and for special occasions such as her husband Jack's fishing trips. In her final years she was accompanied by her loving and loyal protector, her dog Ace.

She was an active church worker at Mountain  View Baptist Church, and she established a church library and served as the librarian for many years. She quietly gave monthly donations for many years to over ten charities and organizations that helped the poor, and she had a special place in her heart for the homeless and the efforts of Habitat for Humanity. She was a role model of Christian virtue to her children, and her whole life was a lesson in service to others and humble kindness.

Geraldine Haynes Elledge was preceded in death by her parents, Hayes and Alma; a brother, Vess Haynes; and daughter, Amy Maria Elledge.

She is survived by her loving husband, John (Jack) Sherman Elledge Sr.; son, John Sherman Elledge Jr. and daughter-in-law Ellen (Ellie) Koch Elledge; daughters, Martha Carol Elledge, and Elizabeth (Beth) Haynes Elledge Gossett and son-in-law Jason Gossett; sister, Sue Haynes Tharpe; grandchildren, Jacob Gabel, Cody Gabel, Candace Gabel Nelson, Jessie Gabel, Caleb Gossett, Connor Elledge, Tristan Elledge, and Aden Gossett; six great-grandchildren, and numerous beloved nieces and nephews.

The family thanks all the nurses, doctors, and other caregivers over the past year; the employees and volunteers of Hospice; friends, neighbors, church members, and all the thoughts and prayers from churches and co-workers of the family.

A private burial ceremony will be on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at Mountlawn Memorial Park. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 2, 2:00 pm, at Mountain View Baptist Church in Hays with Rev. Julius Blevins and Rev. Brian Blankenship officiating. A visitation will follow after the service in the church fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, Gerry requested donations be made to Habitat for Humanity in her name. Miller Funeral Service is in charge of the arrangements.

2015 Fandom and Religion Conference at the University of Leicester

Finding faith? Fandom and religionHow fandom can be viewed as a form or substitute for religion  The extent to which mass following of popular culture – popular music  stars, TV shows or football fandom – can act as a form of faith for  followers is to be explored at an international conference hosted at  Leicester between 28-30 July 2015.Among the topics at the conference are:

Fandom as a Psychological Phenomenon

Pop Devotion, and the Transfiguration of Dead Celebrities

Fandom, Sport and Hope

Dr Clive Marsh, Director of Lifelong Learning, said: “Like religion,  fandom is time-consuming, life-shaping, energising and often provides a  social network.  Like religion, it provides a structure that helps  people meet ‘needs’ such as finding friends, being affirmed and having a  sense of self-worth, wanting to find a system of values, beliefs or  symbols within which to live.“However, fandom may not be religion if religion is defined as  necessarily entailing contact with God or a higher power. We will  explore whether fandom might be serving as an alternative to religion."    Press Release Issued by the University of Leicester Press Office on 20 July 2015

Fandom may be viewed as a form of religion or a substitute for religion

Popular culture provides Western citizens with ways of searching for  meaning: being a fan may provide an entire framework for living

Fandom functions as religion, but does it mean fans really are religious?

International inter-disciplinary conference Fandom and Religion on 28–30 July 2015 at the University of Leicester’s Conference Centre, College Court.

The extent to which mass following of popular culture – popular music  stars, TV shows or football fandom – can act as a form of faith for  followers is to be explored at an international conference at the  University of Leicester.“Fandom is a major activity today: people’s passions become major  commitments, and fans start seeming like religious devotees,” says Dr  Clive Marsh, Director of Lifelong Learning at the University of  Leicester, who is one of the organisers. “I am particularly interested  in researching the intensity with which people exercise their fandom,  and how this signals the meaning and purpose that people find in, and  through, their fan activity. Functionally at least, this can prove to be  very similar indeed to religious practice.”Popular culture (sport, music, TV, films, video games) is an arena in  which people make meaning in Western society, whether they are  religious or not. Fans are people who are devoted to, and passionate  about, a particular interest, team, activity, star, band, artist, or  other object or subject of ‘devotion’.Whether fandom can be considered a religion today and what the  interactions are between religion and popular culture are the main  topics to be explored in the international inter-disciplinary conference  Fandom and Religion on 28–30 July 2015 at the University of Leicester.Among the topics at the conference are:

Fandom as a Psychological Phenomenon

Pop Devotion, and the Transfiguration of Dead Celebrities

Fandom, Sport and Hope

Dr Marsh said: “Like religion, fandom is time-consuming,  life-shaping, energising and often provides a social network.  Like  religion, it provides a structure that helps people meet ‘needs’ such as  finding friends, being affirmed and having a sense of self-worth,  wanting to find a system of values, beliefs or symbols within which to  live.“However, fandom may not be religion if religion is defined as  necessarily entailing contact with God or a higher power. We will  explore whether fandom might be serving as an alternative to religion.“The conference will offer opportunity for some stretching  conversation between academics, and between academics and practitioners.  Researchers in all academic disciplines are welcome. The conference is  designed to enable tricky, challenging, invigorating, stimulating  intellectual encounter to occur, and fresh insights to be formed, in a  way which benefits both theorists and practitioners. Hopefully it will  provide some clarity – for those present – in response to the basic  question of whether fandom is functioning religiously or not.”Exploring the interaction between fandom and religion is of crucial  importance today, says Dr Marsh. On one hand, it is easy to say that  Western society is becoming less traditionally religious and more  secular. On the other, ‘spirituality’ is deemed acceptable, as it sounds  as if it is to do with the inner life, personal choice, freedom, and  self-expression.However, Dr Marsh, whose research at the University of Leicester  focuses on popular culture and spirituality/religion is convinced that  Western individualism has gone a bit too far: while encouraging people  not to accept authority without question, it has made them distrusting  of tradition in any form.“Everyone does have to have their ‘own’ spirituality (in the sense  that each makes choices about what to believe, how to behave, and what  might constitute their ‘inner life’). But everyone’s spirituality can’t  be so different from everyone else’s that each has their own  ‘religion’.”Speakers at the conference Fandom and Religion will include

Matt Hills

(Aberystwyth, author of Fan Cultures),

John Maltby

(Leicester),

Chris Partridge

(Lancaster, author of The Lyre of Orpheus),

Tracy Trothen

(Queen’s, Ontario), John Lyden and Eric Mazur (co-editors of The Routledge Companion to Religion and Popular Culture). More than 30 people will be offering short papers and there will be over 50 present at the event.The conference has been organised through the Theology, Religion and Popular Culture Network, with the support of:

UskoMus Research Network

(University of Turku and at Åbo Akademi University),

CODEC (University of Durham),

Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts (University of St Andrews),

Is the Death Care Industry Missing the Death Movement? ReImagine Event Expects 7,000

In recent years, there have been whispers of a national death movement seemingly lead by industry celebrities like Caitlin Doughty and intellectuals like the authors of the recent The Death Care Revolution papers published in The Wake Forest Journal of Law & Policy earlier this year. A movement begins to take hold when it inspires a group of people outside of the core believers and niche organizations to take action and an upcoming event in San Fransisco is the closest we’ve seen to a death awareness movement. Reimagine End of Life is a remarkable grouping of over 100 death-themed events in San Fransisco happening April 16-22. Drawing on the arts, spirituality, healthcare and design, Reimagine End of Life is intended to break down taboos and bring diverse communities together in wonder, preparation and remembrance. The events span from informative end of life education seminars to themed art exhibitions to comedy shows about grief. This year, ReImagine End of Life has partnered with the city of San Francisco and they are expecting upwards of 7,000 attendees.

When scrolling through the stunning number of events in the line up you realize that the big players in the death care industry are not even on the map. The absence of the death care industry in this event is not entirely surprising. Tanya D. Marsh explains in her paper Regulated to Death that the funeral industry has spent past century protecting itself from outside competition with a highly restrictive occupational regime stunting innovation ultimately causing widespread distrust from consumers who believe they are paying too much for too few options. (Download her paper here.)

Movements grow out of injustice and the Reimagine event proves that the public feels major injustices surrounding death including lack of information, distrust of the shadowy funeral industry, and increasingly expensive and impersonal traditions created and protected by Big Death. It was the funeral industry’s responsibility (and opportunity) to facilitate a healthy relationship with death and grief and the protectionist stance taken a century ago got out of hand to the point of public alienation and disillusionment. The Reimagine Event is a milestone in what could be a catastrophic correction.

“Reimagine convenes public conversations that transform our approach to life. Everyone, irrespective of culture and background, is encouraged to reflect on why we’re here, prepare for a time when we won’t be, and design what it means for us to live fully right up until the end,” said Brad Wolfe, founder and executive director of Reimagine. “More than 2,500 people attended 30 events during our first Reimagine week in 2016, so we are expecting 7,000 this year. We want to connect the entire community around life’s universal truth.”

So, what industry professionals are heading the End of Life Education events? – Fringe groups. Many of these small groups are getting their biggest stage ever at Reimagine: End of Life, San Fransisco, including The Sacred Dying Foundation, East Bay Center for Living and Dying, Compassion & Choices, Zen Hospice Project, and Congregation Emanu-El.

Over the next week Connecting Directors will be covering some of our favorite Reimagine events, but here is a taste of the scope of what you will find across the city of San Francisco April 16-22…

Empathy Bootcamp

Tuesday, Apr 17, 2018, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM Presented by Help Each Other Out and based on the book and studies by Dr. Kelsey Crowe, this is an Empathy Bootcamp. Senior Associate Trainer Tracy Mulholland leads this three hour program on what to say and do to be supportive when people are hurting. You will come away with concrete ways to be an empathetic person when it really counts, both in your personal and professional life. Learn More Here.

Good Grief with Chris Garcia + Bitch Talk

Wed. April 18 8:00pm – 10:00pm This is a death-themed a comedy show featuring Chris Garcia, Reggie Steele, Irene Tu, Ronn Vigh, Dan Rothenberg. “We’re not going to beat around the bush and avoid the heavy or just make light of it. We’re going to dive into our losses, grief, and pain because we know that’s where the deepest laughs and healing are born. Let’s turn these conversation-killers (pun intended) into conversation-starters and put this taboo to death.” Learn More Here.

Reimagine: Art and Design at CCA

Friday, Apr 20, 2018, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM The public is invited to join California College of the Arts students and faculty for a special evening of film, art, design and music during Reimagine End of Life. CCA will host a film screening of the new Netflix documentary “End Game” and a Q+A with director and CCA Film Co-Chair Rob Epstein. Following the film will be presentations by Seattle-based architect Katrina Spade of Recompose; Stockholm-based interaction designer and author of “Ends” Joe Macleod; and Caitlin Campbell of Columbia University’s DeathLAB to present their Constellation Park project. Learn More Here.

——————————————————————-

During the weekend prior to Reimagine: End of Life, spiritual leaders across San Francisco will participate in a “Conversation Sabbath,” speaking to their congregations about death and encouraging involvement in Reimagine week events, especially the numerous Advance Care Planning Workshops. More than 25 churches, community organizations and libraries will host these free workshops to help residents plan their end-of-life care and complete healthcare directives. RSVPs are required, but more than half of Reimagine’s 100+ events are offered free of charge to San Francisco’s diverse community.

“Back to Africa?” a The Avengers  TV series / Daktari crossover story

Cathy Gale has enough of pussy-footing on the beach and Fort Knox. She returns to Africa...

(Chapter 1/?)

„Still not there?“

„No, not yet.“

Once again the Daktari looked on his watch, then down the path leading to the main complex of Wameru station. He was worried. More than two hours overdue. The sun would set soon and their guest had still not arrived.

„Another one, Dad?“

„Yes, thank you, Paula!“

For the fourth time, the young woman refilled her father's cup with coffee.

„Mike, want another one?“

„I will get a heart attack if you pour me another cup of that coffee, Miss Paula! Or wait, with a little luck I won't be able to complete the boring reports for the Lorne - Foundation with trembling hands.”

Jack Dane, one of Dr Tracy's two assistants, laughed at his friend.

“I don't think the Daktari will take that as an excuse for your laziness, Mike Mkula!”

Marsh Tracy gave them a severe look. “He definitely won't. And Jack, by the way - did you clean the syringes and test tubes for your ride to chief Mgube's village? Well?”

“Oh. I'm sorry, Marsh, not yet.”

“Now would be a good time, don't you think? Get on with it, there is work to be done. And take Mike with you to the hospital! ”

Jack put down his cup and took the last sandwich from the plate.

“Yes, bwana. Come with me, my fellow sufferer, our master has spoken.”

“I heard that!”

But the two laughing men jumped quickly over the railing of the veranda before Marsh could get them.

“That was unfair! Don't be so hard on them, dad!” Paula protested, ”Mike would have been able to do it more quickly with a new typewriter! I told you that it doesn't work properly anymore.”

“Paula, this is important. We can't run Wameru without the money from the foundation. You know that!”

Once again Daktari checked the road.

Paula looked at her father, suddenly realising why he spoke that harsh to her friends.

“Dad, you could radio Hedley.”

“Not yet Paula, but could you check the fuel tank of the Jeep, will you?”

“Off course, dad, and I will put the dart rifle to the car and pack your medical bag.”

Marsh Tracy took his daughter in his arms, kissing her gently on the forehead.

“Good girl! Thank you.”

Toto and Judy, the two chimps looked at him, both chattering softly.

“Yes, you two are also good girls!”, he said laughing. He caressed the animals' heads, ruffling the fur just in the way they liked it. “Hop, Judy! Off my chair. I have to work.”

After Paula went back inside, Marsh re-lit his pipe and continued his work on his article for a scientific journal.

Once again he looked towards the road.

“Damn. Dr Gale, where are you?”
