But living with cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia as the result of birth trauma, he has been through more in his short life than most. Unable to sit, walk, talk, suck or swallow, Harvey is fed via a feeding tube and will need 24 hour care for the rest of his life. And a procedure to change his feeding tube led to a tear in his esophagus around the time of his third birthday, and a three week hospital stay. Not only did he have the love and support of mum Naomi Clarke, father Luke Semmens, and little sister Pippa, but Harvey received a very special surprise, courtesy of not for profit organisation TLC for Kids during his stay. The organisation left three bags of presents for his birthday, which Naomi said “brought me to tears”. “It was a heartwarming thing for them to do,” she said. “The support we’ve had for Harvey has been great. “I’ve met some really amazing people since I’ve been here in Wangaratta.” Ms Clarke said through medical support and weekly GARDENING FILM RSPCA WITH CHARLIE HARRIS WITH OLIVIA THE GREA T GATSBY WINE TALK WITH ANITA www.wangarattachronicle.com.au

The sheer gall of the woman
THE KITCHEN PHILOSOPHER
BY CATHERINE WARNOCK
THERE’S a pretty good chance I’m a walking medical time bomb.
Any day, week or month now, I fear my sleeping volcano of a gallbladder is going to erupt and I’ll be scurrying (or probably, more accurately, limping, crying and clutching my gut) to emergency.
You see, if family history is anything to go on, my gallbladder, too, is history.
For, in the past 18 months, two of my older siblings have needed to have theirs removed.
One in a full blown emergency (which apparently became somewhat less of an emergency as the day went by; considering they didn’t even operate on her for another full 24 hours).
The other sibling complained of repeated pain and the doctor decided to whip it out before it became a real problem.
Which is all very nice, but I’m not sure I really subscribe completely to the ‘preventative’ surgery philosophy.
Where will it all end? Next will they be whipping out your heart in
order to prevent a heart attack? Oh okay, I do concede some people have
things removed to avoid certain cancers or hereditary conditions and there’s a valid case for not wishing to go down a road you’re pretty sure you’ll have to endure, so in those cases it’s fair enough.
But surely organs such as the gall bladder have some useful function, don’t they?
Or did the Great Creator just have a bit of leftover off al hanging around and think:
“What shall I do with this? “Oh, I know. “I’ll fashion a fairly pointless human organ
with it. “And just to make it worthwhile, I’ll use it to
store bile or the like. “But basically, once it starts to give you any
trouble, Adam, just have it whipped out.” I don’t think so. Very little about the human animal is random
(that weirdo appendix being the possible exception), so I fi nd it hard to believe the

gallbladder is of little import to a healthy system. Surely, then, it would be a smarter idea to
endeavor to make the gallbladder healthier, than to go chucking it out, wouldn’t it?
My own Gally has been giving me a little grief on and off over a number of years.
At fi rst (about 10 years ago) they pronounced it was not gallstones causing the pain but, rather, something called - rather uninvitingly - ‘sludge’.
Apparently this thick substance forces its way through the bile ducts and causes pain. Nothing to worry about they said.
It will either turn into gallstones or go away. Well I can tell you it has done neither and now
I am told it couldn’t have been sludge in the fi rst place because sludge always turns, relatively quickly, into stones.
Well, not in my case, so maybe I’m just a medical conundrum?
Actually, I rather like the idea of being a conundrum - medical or otherwise.
It has a nice ring to it.But I digress. I’ve been reading up on how to prevent
gallbladder attacks and the answer seems simple – if you have no intention of ever enjoying eating again.
According to the website I visited, I need to avoid fats, eggs, pork, onions, red meats, chicken, dairy, gluten, nuts, chocolate, icecream, alcohol, coff ee, trans-fats, some fruits, some vegetables and even (for some people) the humble bowls of oats.
Basically, the only thing they don’t tell you is which cliff to throw yourself off , which is rather remiss of them because, by the time you’ve fi nished reading that lot, you will be seriously considering ending it all.
Or, like me, you might suddenly have a new appreciation for the ‘get it before it gets you’ philosophy and be thinking of a little preventative surgery after all?
And actually, my mind is made up. Next time Old Gally gives me the rounds of
the bedroom at three in the morning, he just better watch out or he might get Dr Knife.
Funnily enough the pain has suddenly subsided.

WINE TALK IN MY KITCHEN
Sturt along the Murray, 1838THIS DAY IN HISTORY
CHARLES Sturt, one of the early Australian
explorers, stood at the junction of the Ovens and
Murray Rivers in 1838.
By this time, he had already named the Murray –
now he sought to prove the river he had named the
Murray further downstream was, in fact, the same
river that the Hume and Hovell expedition had
named the Hume.
Sopa coada
THERE have been a few articles
fl oating around recently about
a condition known as SAD, or
seasonal aff ective disorder.
It’s a condition in which people
with otherwise normal mental
health experience depression
associated with the winter season.
While not wanting to make
light of what may be a serious
problem for some, you don’t have
to be Einstein to know a week or
two of cold, damp days can be a
bit of a downer.
Unless you’re a farmer in
desperate need of it, the rest of
us would prefer not to experience
another day of rain, fog or frost,
drizzle at the footy and wet feet
numbing in the bottom of muddy
boots.
A sure fi re remedy to brighten
any mood is bubbles, and I
challenge you to fi nd anyone
looking miserable while holding a
WE have had this dish on since we
opened and always get asked for the
recipe.
A baked chicken and parmesan
sandwich in a rich chicken broth, this
Venetian dish translates as ‘pigeon soup’
(in our version we use chicken).
You’ll need to make the sandwich a
day ahead.
This has been in the paper before but
so many have asked I thought I would
submit it again especially for one of The
Butter Factory favorite customers, so
this is for you Brian.
Method
Make the sandwich the day before
you want to serve the soup.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Put the onion into a baking dish
and season with salt, pepper, thyme,
oregano and garlic, then put the
chicken on top.
Bake until chicken is cooked and skin
is crispy – about 40 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan,
and then strip away the skin (this is the
chef’s treat – all of the staff hover when
it’s time to make sopa).
Take the meat off the bone and
shred it.
Meanwhile, put the onion to one side
with any pan juices. Keep the oven on.
Remove the crust from the bread
and cut the loaf lengthways into 1cm
thick slices, Place a layer of bread in the
bottom of a 30 cm baking dish to cover.
Layer the onion, chicken and pan
juices over the bread, and then cover
completely with another layer of bread.
Pour on enough of the stock to come
up to the underside of the top layer of
bread.
This amount will vary depending on
where you buy your bread.
Cover with greased baking paper
then foil.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then
uncover and sprinkle the parmesan
over the bread and bake again until the
cheese has melted and is golden brown.
Set aside to cool.
To serve, cut the sopa into squares
and either reheat in the oven or in the
microwave for 1 minute.
Bring the remaining chicken stock to
a boil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the sandwiches in warm soup
bowls and pour over the chicken stock.
Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serves 6-8.

Michelini Wines’ Demon Ridge
special cuvee is a suitably fresh
and uplifting wine, made from a
blend of Chardonnay and Pinot
Noir grapes.
Its delightful golden color is
immediately warm and appealing,
with fi ne and exuberant bead
and a nose reminiscent of freshly
baked sourdough.
There are also some delicious,
full fruit fl avors going on, with
ripe fi g and succulent guava, in
a sparkling which can happily be
enjoyed all on its own.
At this time of year, I wouldn’t
save it for a special occasion, or
even for a meal.
Be a devil and open it out of
the blue for everyone to share,
because there must be no greater
pleasure than seeing your friends
and family smile.
