'Much-loved' Brit teacher trampled to death by elephant on safari identified

Former chemistry teacher Janet Easton, 68, was tragically killed alongside another tourist during an African safari. A school has paid a touching tribute to a British tourist who was crushed to death by an elephant on a safari. ‌ Janet Easton, 68, was fatally trampled on by a nursing elephant in Africa on July 3. Tour guides desperately tried to save her but were unable to deter the animal. ‌ The former chemistry teacher was sadly killed alongside another female tourist from New Zealand, reports the Mirror. She has been identified as Alison Taylor, 67. ‌ The pair were on a guided safari trip at the South Luangwa National Park when tragedy struck. They were walking around when the animal suddenly charged towards them at high speed. Tour workers attempted to block the animal by using firing shots but failed. Now, her former place of work, Titus Salt School in Baildon, Bradford, has paid tribute. On its website, she was described as an "intrepid traveller" and "much-loved" friend. The teacher, also known as Janice, taught at the site from September 1983 until she retired in August 2022. ‌ Headteacher Phil Temple said she was "admired" for her skills. He wrote: ' Sad news. We are sorry to hear the tragic news of the death of our friend and former colleague. Janice Easton whilst travelling in Africa. Janice started working at Titus Salt School in September 1983 and completed almost 40 years of service when she retired in August 2022. "Janice was a highly skilled Chemistry teacher and was for many years responsible for transition to high school. In these roles and others Janice had a profound impact on generations of pupils and students in the local community as well as countless colleagues who admired her skill, tenacity and determination to ensure all young people had the opportunity to succeed. "As well as an exemplary professional Janice was an intrepid traveller, keen photographer and much-loved friend. Janice will be fondly remembered by all in the Titus Salt School and wider communities." ‌ Local police chief Robertson Mweemba earlier told the BBC: "They were moving to other camps when the elephant charged from behind. We are really sorry that we have lost our visitors. They both died on the spot." He continued: "It is very difficult to control the animals and tourists like feeding them." The tour was operated by Expert Africa, reports The Times. Managing director Chris McIntyre, previously said: 'This was a deeply tragic and highly unusual incident in one of Africa's most remote wilderness areas. "Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of the travellers involved. Our priority has been supporting the families in every way possible. We remain in close contact, doing what we can to assist them. "We are liaising closely with the local authorities, our partners on the ground and the relevant consular services to support those involved and to understand how this tragic event occurred. We will, of course, co-operate fully with any official investigations that take place.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Caring for her brother with special needs inspired Isabelle Lee to become a speech therapist

CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Caring for her brother with special needs inspired Isabelle Lee to become a speech therapist Isabelle Lee, 19, is on her way to becoming a speech therapist — a decision fuelled by her experience as a dedicated caregiver to her younger brother who has special needs. But when she was younger, Isabelle felt unseen. It's an experience that has been dubbed "glass children syndrome", when the siblings of individuals with special needs feel like their own emotional needs are being overlooked — as though they were made of glass. In this conversation, Isabelle and her mother, Janice, share how their relationship has healed and grown stronger through the challenges of caring for a family member with special needs. CNA938 Rewind - Exploring the Science of Clean Air with FJ SafeSpace In 'Made in SG', Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Jay Choy, founder of FJ SafeSpace – providers of premium air quality monitoring solutions. Choy will recall how and why he went into the advanced air purification sector after getting retrenched from his sales job. He'll talk about the science behind photoplasma technology, and how it combats hidden threats like viruses, bacteria, fine dust, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and odours. Choy will also talk about how FJ SafeSpace has carried out over 140 indoor air quality assessments across homes, offices, childcare centres and industrial sites.
