16/09/2011 South Today

Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's

programme: Medical misadventure - a coroner's

verdict after a Brighton woman died in a dentist's chair. Sacha's

family hopes that the recommendations the coroner makes

today will lead to better understanding and management of

allergies. Warn others of the danger - a

father's plea after a cliff climb went horribly wrong.

Working their way through choppy financial times - the boating

industry shows off its wares in the south.

And trying to preserve the history of a colony of artists. Craftsmen

that were around the 20th century, they had a huge influence

throughout 20th century and even She was described as a big-hearted

woman who had everything to live for. Today the family of Sacha

Rumaner heard a coroner give a verdict of medical misadventure,

after Sacha died after using mouthwash at the dentists. The 30-

year-old Brighton woman suffered a rare but severe reaction whilst

having an extraction examined. The corner said dental staff at the

Morley Street dental clinic should have recognised that she'd gone

into anaphylactic shock sooner. Ben Moore reports.

A rare reaction to the simplest of treatment has left a family without

a beloved daughter. Shortly before her death, sachet had found

happiness. Living independently in a nice flat, she was coping with

her mild learning difficulties. February this year, Sacha Rumaner

was given mouthwash by a dentist to rinse a cavity. Seconds later, she

collapsed, frothing at the mouth. She had had eight severe reaction

to a common antiseptic. -- a severe reaction. Nothing can heal the loss

of this treasured daughter and sister and yet have family have the

recommendations that the coroner made today will lead to a better

understanding and management of allergies. The response of staff

treating SAD share at the Morley Street practice was criticised --

Sacha Rumaner. They said the dentist did not recognise that she

was suffering from an allergic reaction. It was not, she said, at

any time entertained as a possibility. This meant the small

chance to give a shot of adrenalin, the only drug that could have saved

her, was lost. The coroner said her collapse was so catastrophically

fast that the chances of her surviving were slim. The coroner

says she will they make reports to try and ensure that a tragedy like

this will not happen again. She will be writing to the NHS Trust,

asking them to review what equipment and what drugs are

available in dental surgeries. She will also make a report to the

Department of Health asking them to make sure the allergy to the

antiseptic is recognised more often. There have been a couple of

cannabis seizures in Hampshire in the last two days. On the

Millstream industrial estate in Ringwood, police discovered a

cannabis factory after reports of suspicious activity. 1,000 cannabis

plants were seized and six men were arrested. Meanwhile �500,000 worth

of drugs thought to be cannabis were found at Portsmouth Ferry Port

in a lorry from France. A man from Yorkshire has been arrested.

The father of a Hampshire girl who died after falling 15 feet into a

mine shaft at Perranporth in Cornwall has told an inquest he

thinks tourists should have been warned about the hidden dangers.

Harry Clark told the hearing his family had no idea the cave they

were exploring contained a hidden shaft entrance.

11-year-old Eleanor Clarke was on holiday and was exploring a

Perranporth Beach in north Cornwall with her family when she climbed in

to what she thought was a cave, 20 feet up Baycliff. It was, in fact,

an old mine. Giving evidence today, have father said that within

seconds he had his daughter cried out and he followed her inside. He

called for help but there was no reply. He found her at the bottom

of a mine shaft that she could not have seen in the dark. She had

fallen at least 15 feet onto the rocks below. She was airlifted to

hospital but died from head injuries. The inquest heard that

how 10 years before the death of Eleanor Clarke, a female body Baker

had fallen down the same shaft, and was badly injured but survived --

holiday maker. Harry Clark said more should be done to warn

holidaymakers who were not familiar with Cornwall's mining past about

the hidden dangers, in particular on beaches. The coastline is

littered with old mine workings. The RNLI go into schools and talk

about beach safety and now have planned to highlight the danger

arcades. In around the areas where mining was an issue in parts of

Cornwall, we will be adding it to some of the hazards. One of the

main messages is keep awake from cliffs, and mine entrances, play it

-- caves and so on. The local parish has now have planned to

erect warning signs on the beach. The coroner will be writing to

landowners in coastal areas warning them of the dangers. The inquest

recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Southern Railway has launched a competition to build 130 new

carriages to ease overcrowding on commuter services from the south

coast into London. Bidders will need to have the trains carrying

passengers in two years' time. Most of Southern's existing trains were

built by Bombardier in Derby, which recently announced 1,500 job losses

after losing the competition to build new rolling stock for

Thameslink trains from Brighton. The show that's widely regarded as

a good barometer of the health of our boating building and maritime

industry started today. The Southampton Boat Show is now in its

43rd year. Reporter Chris Coneybeer is there for us. Press, I

understand you wiry man of means. - - Chris.' will you be buying a

glitzy mega yacht or a rowing boat? I haven't decided yet. Oh, for the

lottery. Looking around, you would be forgiven for thinking the

country's economic ills have disappeared. Plenty of lovely boats

around and for those who can afford it, plenty of choice as well.

You can buy a being D for a few hundred Pounds. A decent yacht for

a price of a small house. Or something really special, like this.

The prices start at �13.7 million. Times are hard, but not for

everyone. Once again, the Boat Show provides an opportunity for the

relatively well-off to indulge in some of their pleasures and the not

so well-off to indulge in a little daydreaming. We like to do long-

distance sailing, so we are looking at maybe up grading from what we

have. Always looking to buy a. coming to have a look at the new

boats. Just having a look at the new technology. Will you buy

something? No. There are boats here with all of the essentials. And for

some of the craft, you have to be well-heeled. One of the Boat comes

In sections. Our biggest problem has been we cannot build them as

fast as we sell them. So our limitation is capacity, not sales.

The success of the business carried out here over the coming week will

really matter to the economy of the south coast. The industry UK-wide

has been going through a tough time and our industry is no different,

but we are still here. The Southampton Boat Show will look to

the future and we are optimistic about what the next 10 days will

bring. But with the economy as it is, it is likely some will be

keeping their fingers crossed. Fingers crossed, but there is money

about. The but sellers are hoping that they are looking through the

economic gloom and hoping sales will be buoyant.

I will leave you to choose which one you are after.

Up to 1,000 new jobs are likely to be created in Reading after a

supermarket giant was given the go- ahead to build a large distribution

centre close to the M4. Reading Borough Council's planners have

said yes to Tesco building on the former Berkshire Brewery site in

Imperial Way. But it will also have to be approved by councillors in

Wokingham. Local people hope the new distribution centre will help

build the town's way out of the downturn.

Portsmouth Council says it's managed to hold on to weekly

rubbish collections thanks to a new eight-year contract. The new

contractors will be the first in the country to operate a fleet of

trucks powered by recycled cooking oil. While some councils have moved

to fortnightly collections, Portsmouth says a new flexible

contract allows weekly collections to continue and also means

considerable savings. Still to come: out for forecast and

the message it, be prepared. -- a fall.

If you are out and about, be prepared, because they could be

some of this. Join me later to find out the weekend forecast.

Good news for the viewers of our Politics Show - the programme is

back this week and the team has a lot to talk about. Peter Henley

will be live at the Liberal Democrat conference and Danielle

Glavin will be in the hot seat in the studio. I spoke to her earlier

about what was in the programme. First of all, we are packing Peter

Henley after Birmingham to the Liberal Democrat conference. He

will be seeing what is going on and getting all the gossip and also

taught to the leader of EC Borough Council to find out how optimistic

they arc about their future, because they think they are in

meltdown. Police cuts another issue? Nobody can forget the scenes

we saw in the blundered with the recent riots, well Dorset police

have played their part but dark facing big cuts -- but are facing

big cuts. They have to save �80 million in four years. The

coalition government have been asked to rethink that but are

standing firm. We were told police should be protected. These numbers

showed in essence remained as they are. Holmes, houses and offices

should be reopened. -- homes. What is most important is intelligence,

a police officer in every rural village, every town and ensuring

the public have access to them 24 hours a day. And finally, the

ongoing dispute at Southampton City Council. A number of staff at

Southampton City Council was sacked and we hired for less money so that

has caused a lot of upset -- were sacked and higher again. There will

be ahead to head on the sopor. look forward to that. So Danielle

Glavin and Peter Henley will have the Politics Show on Sunday.

There's a fundraising event this weekend for a museum in a Sussex

village which is world-renowned for its arts and crafts tradition. So

far, the Heritage Lottery Fund has committed �1 million to redevelop

Ditchling Museum, and the museum has to match that. The aim is to

have a new place to celebrate the history of such an important colony

of artists and crafts people. Mark Sanders has more.

Goldsmith Anton Pruden fashions precious metals. It is the same

work his grandfather did in exactly the same Sussex village. Dunstan

Pruden was part of a community of artists in Ditchling. The Guild of

St Joseph and St Dominic was formed in the early 20th century and

continued until the late 1980s. has got this fantastic history of

some of the best craftsmen that were around at the 20th century.

They had a huge influence throughout the 20th century and

even now. Eric Gill, the most notable member of the Guild, is

famous for his sculpture, but also designed the typeface that we read

in books and used on computers today. Ditchling Museum has been

home to his work and other artists from the Guild. The plan is to

transform the small museum into a modern space to celebrate the

creative colony that established itself in the village. The Heritage

Lottery Fund has given �1 million to help this happened. The museum

itself has raised about �600,000, but still needs to find around

half-a-million more in these difficult Financial Times. Now we

are on to the next stage of fund- raising through other trusts and

foundations and individuals, and as you say, it is not the easiest time

to be fund-raising. But we feel passionately about the project and

what we hope to do here. There is a fund-raising event this weekend for

the museum. The aim is to start redevelopment next year. The hope

is that not before too long, this village, snug against the South

Downs, will have a new place to remember its past.

And good luck with the fund-raising event this weekend.

It's back on BBC One, and it's back at the Royal Berkshire County Show.

Sarah Farmer, news reporter David Allard and John Cuttell will be

Strictly Come Dancing at the Strictly Come Dancing Royal

Berkshire show to raise money for Children In Need. If you want to

see them, after they had squeezed themselves into a light grey, then

tickets are still available on the door. Do go and support them.

My goodness. I was just waiting for them to put on the fake tan as well.

You have to have that. Good luck to them.

Now, for the last time, the very final time on South Today, here is

Roger Johnson with the sport. They have asked me to do Strictly

Come Dancing on most years and I always managed as worded.

It is funny that we have managed to avoid it!

Fittingly for my final report before I head off on a new

challenge in my career, I have been to meet demand preparing for a new

challenge of his own. I have reported Geoff Holt's sailing

successes over the years but he has decided that sailing is not enough

of a thrill. So he has launched a new boat today so he can provide

some very special joy ride. God bless all who sail in have.

has had his fair share of champagne moments over the years and now

Geoff Holt wants to share his enjoyment of the sea with other

disabled people. It is not all about getting wet than putting

sales up. Sailing is wonderful, but for some people it is about getting

out on the water and experiencing life on the waves. He has always

had a love of the sea and I think he just wants other children to

experience what he has and work out for themselves what the enjoyment

is. Geoff Holt made history when he became the first quadriplegic to

sail unassisted around Britain. He achieved the sale Milestone across

the Atlantic and is not ruling out further challenges. And there is

the round-Britain powerboat challenge next June and it has

crossed my mind that no one with a disability has done that.

disability means the boat has been specially adapted for him to drive

and although he will always have an able-bodied skipper on board, he

will always have complete control. That is not something high speed

racers can always guarantee, although he will not be going flat

out. When you take people out for the first time, the expression on

their face, it is just a picture. You can't explain how exciting it

is. It is brilliant what he is doing. He has inspired many through

his voyages, riding 600 horse power will be a whole new thrill for

Geoff Holt to share. And I wish him many enjoyable and

incident free trips. Hard on the heels of their

relegation from Division One of cricket's County Championship,

Hampshire have already started making changes for next season.

Winchester-born Jimmy Adams will skipper the side in 2012 after

Dominic Cork was released. He impressed while leading the side in

the final few matches of the season. Australian opening batsman Simon

Katich has signed as Hampshire's overseas player. He represented the

county from 2003 to 2005. Championship leaders Brighton will

aim to continue what Gus Poyet refers to as a "dream" start to the

new season when they play at Sven- Goran Erikkson's Leicester City

tomorrow. Peak hours of local radio football coverage on the screen. --

details. Albion's win at Bristol City last week means they've taken

16 points out of a possible 18 at the start of the campaign - a point

ahead of Southampton, who play Birmingham on Sunday. Here's Albion

boss Gus Poyet. Every game is important, every three points. We

can talk for ages about why it is good or bad, but not for the

football players. This season, Leicester away, West Ham away,

Birmingham away, Leeds United away, these games are going to be special.

Gus Poyet air and Portsmouth fans will want to watch on Monday, a

special report on your club from Tony Husband, who will be filling

the best part of the so fat from now on.

He well. Let's move on to the weather now. -- he will. We had a

warning earlier of showers to come. Yes, there will be some sunshine

and we have had some lovely photos today.

Susie Strand took this photo of Arundel Castle from the river bank.

She described it as a beautiful and tranquil place.

Anni Stevens captured the scene at Littlehampton in the dry sunny

conditions. And Robin Boultwood photographed

the many people making the most of the warm sunny September day in

Swanage. It certainly was a warm September

It certainly was a warm September day, but it turns very unsettled

overnight tonight and for the weekend as well, sunshine and

blustery showers on the cards. The driest they will probably be Sunday.

Tonight, showers are also possible. One or two heavy bursts. Through

the early hours of the morning it, temperatures staying in double

figures. Those showers will rattle their way through tomorrow and a

very brisk westerly breeze, with the odd heavy burst and the odd

rumble of thunder with temperatures reaching a high of 19 or 20C. But

suppressed under the cloud and way you have the showers. Brisker winds

tomorrow and gale-force gusts in the Channel, and the showers will

continue for some through the early hours of Sunday morning. Some

respite and temperatures staying in double figures.

So cooler conditions tomorrow night and tonight. Sunday daytime, once

again, the risk of one or two showers, possibly the driest day of

the weekend with some sunshine. If you are heading to the well County

of Berkshire Show, go prepared for a shower and there will be a

blustery wind. I am apologising for the graphics, they are slightly

jumpy this evening. Monday daytime, some rain on offer during the

second part but a bright start to the working week and then more rain

on the way from this weather front which led southwards, the wind will

be brisk. All in all, the weekend is looking pretty unsettled. The

driest of they will be Sunday, the wind will be pretty brisk over the

weekend with some hefty showers -- of them. A dry start to Monday but

rain will arrive later on the day, and that will stay with us on and

and that will stay with us on and off on Tuesday.

Alexis, thank you very much. So a final day for Roger. If you have

just joined us and he went with us last night, Roger is going on to...

It is still the BBC, but we should say when it is.

Lots of people would know it, I am going to Manchester and I am going

to be the main anchor man on north- west tonight, the regional news.

Also like here, but up north. Same programme, same time-slot but

in the north-west will start you will notice those things on screen.

-- you will notice those things on screen. Lots of people have been

getting in touch and sending messages. Are you looking forward

to going, sad to be leaving? And sad believing, I have had the

pleasure to work with people here for years -- I am sad. But I am

excited, I will be succeeding Gordon Burns who is a real legend

within broadcasting and latterly of regional programming, he has been

doing it for 15 years. That is a real honour.

Sad, I should think, because 14 years, there have been a number of

high moments and we have put a little film together so we could

see some of the lovely moments that have involved Roger Johnson over

the last 14 years. Hello and welcome to Thursday's

edition of South Today. One night only, there is only one

show in town. Saints were underdogs in 1976, can

they do it again in 2003? The ability of football to unite a

community. The City of Portsmouth is providing it this afternoon.

Jackson back in business. Ball-tampering is what it is all

about. Not allowed in cricket. -- cricket.

In the original film of the Great Escape, Steve McQueen is D... It I

have done some amazing things in my time but we heart of passing out

from a sandbank in the middle of the Solent where we are about to

play a game of cricket. Look at the size of the place. It

is huge. I am good, aren't I?

People are going to blush at the sight of me with my share top.

Find all the details... Nothing quite so relaxing as flying

a kite. 70,000 people, a cauldron of noise.

Pictures of the Pompidou players as they walk out...

A fantastic stadium. Wembley will be really rocking.

Stop cheating. I will let you go. He nutmegged me. And we didn't

practise that! Yours truly was sent out for the

second half. My lack of talent but did little to help.

I bet you would love to get your hands on these, Sally.

Nobody knew my name was William. William the Conqueror.

We are having a brilliant time. Our very own racing thoroughbred is

down in the paddock. Thanks very much indeed, welcome to

Goodwood in West Sussex. A few of the region's warm yacht people will

be miles away. What was it like out there? There

are no words to describe it, the most amazing experience of my life.

Britain should believe, we have a genuine, humble, a real superstar.

Do you think you should be wearing shorts with those legs? It may be

I don't believe it. I am so sorry. Are you all right? Excuse me while

CHEERING. They brought back some memories,

didn't they? People have often reminded me of

the one in the hat at Goodwood. And that starts this weekend. That was

a several years ago. I had no idea how often you took

your clothes off. Did you? And your legs. We asked for comments last

night and thank you for all of the ones you've sent in. We have them

all here. Rather than read them had, we will give them to you that you

can read them at your leisure. But I will read one from Rachel, who is

11. Don't tell my mum, but I am on Harry male. My mum enjoys watching

the present board, she says that football is poisonous but likes it

when he presented -- present sport. Could you say hello to Lesley

Palmer? Lesley Palmer, thank you very much

and everybody who e-mailed. We had so many and it is so lovely.

14 years, a lot of sporting heroes you have met. Some of them want to

wish you well personally. Hello, Roger. All the very best, it

was a pleasure working with you down the years. Hello, Roger, I

can't believe you are leading us. Just a quick thank you for all of

your help and support over the years, I really appreciated. A best

of luck. Roger, I would just like to wish it every happiness and

success with your move Ann De Vecchi if you need a body to -- if

you ever need somebody to attend a charity events with you again, just

give me a call. It is really sad to see you are leaving it, and to go

back to that moment at the finish years ago, it was as bigger day for

me as it was for a year and it was wonderful to see a friendly face in

that huge crowd. So I wish you all the best with your future ventures

and will miss you. Indeed we will.

That is so kind. I have to say, quite a few people have asked me

what my highlight have been. Alan McArthur, she is just as lovely now

when no one had heard of that -- Ellen McArthur.

The two cup finals that we did special programmes for and Children

In Need, which I happen up. We have loved having you here, we

will Nishi but we wish you all the best. I will let you say good night.

-- we will Misha. Thank you to everybody who has e-

mailed, all the lovely people I have met over the years, it has

been a privilege to sit next to the consumer professional for so long

and to have worked with such a great team but it is the view was
