Lucky Clover 4-H: Raising the leaders of Santa Ynez Valley
Youth organization has evolved from ag institution to group that develops numerous paths for kids’ and teens’ development
By Hadleigh Bolton President of Lucky Clover 4-H
Since 1902, 4-H has been fostering growth in kids and teens all across America.
Although the organization started out as an agricultural institution, 4-H has shifted to reflect the diverse interests of young people and to explore other paths for youth development.
Here in Los Olivos, Lucky Clover 4-H is dedicated to raising the leaders of the Santa Ynez Valley. Projects offered in the 2025-26 year include beef, swine, poultry, rabbits, sheep, and public speaking, but one of 4-H’s many advantages is that enough interested members can create a new project to add to the list.
Participating in 4-H animal projects teaches members responsibility, patience, and daily commitment. Youth who raise animals — whether it’s cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, or rabbits — are involved in every aspect of their care, from feeding and grooming to monitoring health and training for market and showmanship. Many describe forming a close bond with their animals and learning valuable lessons about empathy, hard work, and consistency. The experience also builds practical knowledge of animal nutrition, veterinary care, and
record-keeping, all while fostering pride in seeing their project develop over time.
Every July, 4-Hers head to the Santa Barbara County Fair to show the animals they have nurtured and prepared. Fair is an incredible bonding experience and an event that many members cite as their favorite of the year. Though the focus is on showing and selling animals, the fair also offers still exhibits where kids can showcase what they have created over the past year–be that photography,
art pieces, table settings, or even jars of jam.
For the public speaking project, events start as early as February with County Presentation Day, the first in a series of three competitions that go as far as statewide. State Presentation Day at UC Davis is a fun experience for public speakers to show their skills while meeting other proficient speakers from around the state.
4-H’s leadership team is the heart of the club. Members are elected into positions where they have an oppor-
tunity to gain hands-on leadership experience. Officers include the president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, sergeant of arms, healthy living officer, reporter, and photographer. One of the leadership team’s responsibilities is deciding where the club will focus its efforts for community service. In the past, Lucky Clover has partnered with local organizations like People Helping People, the Humane Society, and the Atterdag Senior Center to run drives and help out where needed.
Just last month a small group of Lucky Clover 4-Hers served at the Cattlewomen’s October member meeting dinner for the Solvang Senior Center, helping the Cattlewomen’s group of dedicated chefs to serve food to the members at the Solvang Veterans’ Hall. Seniors and 4-Hers connected over pumpkin pie, and it was a heartwarming experience for many of Lucky Clover’s youngest members.
This year is my sixth year in Lucky Clover 4-H and my first year as its president. When I first joined 4-H as a timid 10-year-old, I never thought being president would be something I could do — it wasn’t even something I wanted to do at the time.
However, it was the public speaking project, the interactions with our community, and my prior experience with the leadership team that led me to become the more confident person I am today. 4-H has truly helped me grow and find myself, and now I am honored to lead Lucky Clover to pass my experiences on to our young members.

For decades, modern medicine has approached diabetes primarily through the lens of pancreatic dysfunction — a problem of insulin deficiency or resistance. This view has shaped nearly all therapeutic strategies: insulin injections, glucose-lowering drugs, and dietary restrictions designed to control blood sugar by compensating for the pancreas.
A hepato-centric view of diabetes
Yet, this narrow focus has obscured a deeper truth: the liver plays an equally vital, if not greater, role in glucose regulation. The liver governs how glucose is produced, stored, and released. It is also the body’s main site of protein synthesis, including the enzymes that convert glucose into glycogen for muscular storage. When hepatic protein synthesis declines — whether from aging, inflammation, or nutritional imbalance — the muscles lose their ability to store glucose effectively. The result is persistent hyperglycemia, even when insulin is present and functioning.
In other words, many diabetic patients are not suffering only from a pancreatic disorder but from a hepatic-protein dysfunction that distorts the body’s entire energy economy.
From the standpoint of acupuncture and traditional Korean medicine, this insight carries profound implications. The liver is regarded as the organ that “governs the smooth flow of Qi and blood.” In modern physiological terms, this corresponds to hepatic circulation, detoxification,
The event was co-sponsored by the City of Buellton, Discover Buellton, the Buellton Arts and Culture Program, and Rio Vista Chevrolet, and was put on by En Fuego Events, a well-known event organizer in these parts.
While the music was going on from two stages, there was a lot happening outside of that also. Off to the right was the carnival, featuring midway games and, of course, numerous rides, some with thrilling names like Star Dancer, Kamikaze, and Sea Ray. Also, for those clamoring for a bite to eat, several food trucks were parked along the avenue with all sorts of delicacies, whether its burgers, tacos, hot dogs, or noodles. There was even a local vendor from nearby Solvang fixing that town’s
Willis went on to explain that, now, activeduty servicemen and servicewomen are on “full alert” against terrorism, and are assigned with quelling the violence in other parts of the world.
“These veterans at the direction of our president and commander-in-chief and must nullify these threats and try to achieve peace,” he said.
Dave Smith, a U.S. Marine veteran who served in Vietnam and later became a teacher at Santa Ynez High, was the featured speaker and made his point by repeatedly asking the question “What is a vet?”
He pointed out that while many veterans from war have noticeable scars, there are many whose “scars” are inside, whether it be in the form of a pin keeping shattered bones together, or it could be something deeper, like “the soul’s ally forged in the crucible of adversity.”
So, what is a veteran, according to Smith?
“He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Iraq or Afghanistan sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers were fueled and replaced,” he gave as one example.
“He is the bar room loudmouth, dumber than five planks of wood, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times by the
and metabolic regulation. When liver function is restored — both energetically and biochemically — the body’s protein metabolism improves, muscular glucose uptake increases, and blood sugar levels stabilize naturally.
Acupuncture offers a uniquely systemic approach. By stimulating key points that modulate hepatic circulation and autonomic balance, we can enhance the liver’s enzymatic activity and protein synthesis, indirectly improving glucose metabolism. Rather than forcing the pancreas to compensate, we help the liver restore metabolic harmony throughout the body.
This hepato-centric model does not reject the pancreatic framework; it complements it. Insulin remains important — but it cannot act efficiently if the liver’s biochemical foundation is compromised. Supporting hepatic recovery through acupuncture, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine allows for a more sustainable glycemic balance — less dependent on medication and more aligned with the body’s own physiology.
signature dish, the aebleskiver.
Clinically, this perspective is especially valuable for patients with fatigue-dominant diabetes, muscle loss, or age-related metabolic decline. Such individuals often experience unstable blood sugar despite medication. When hepatic circulation improves and protein metabolism is reactivated, they regain vitality, their energy stabilizes, and blood glucose levels become easier to manage.
In essence, the liver is not an accessory to glucose control — it is the biochemical conductor. To truly manage diabetes, we must look beyond the pancreas and toward the metabolic orchestra it leads.
Modern acupuncture medicine offers a bridge between ancient understanding and modern biochemistry: a way to heal the root, not just the symptom.

“I don’t actually have a restaurant there or anything,” said Thorn Kinersly, who was working at his first Fall Fest and serving up the “pancake balls.” “I was able to acquire the recipe for this one, and I’ve been serving it for people. I like to bring this around to different places. I’ve taken this as far as Oregon.”
The Fall Fest was a destination for folks in the Valley, as, in its fifth year now, it’s becoming a bit of a staple in the area. But it has been drawing people from surrounding areas also.
“We just got here and it’s our first time, but it seems really fun, it’s like a street fair,” said Kalli Brinson, who came with her husband, Shawn, and young son, Zane. “Just thought it would be a great place to hang out and have some fun as a family.”
Back to the bands, while many of the big names and crowds drifted to the bigger Rio Vista Chevrolet stage on the south end,
the smaller stage had its share of young hungry music groups trying to make a dent.
One of them was a trio called Simeon, Werre, and Matthes played their brand of what guitarist/lead singer Chris Simeon calls “soul rock.”
“I live in Oxnard, and play around there, but we got a chance to come up here and it’s been great,” said Simeon, whose bandmates are, of course, (Dave) Werre and (Sean) Matthes. “Actually, we haven’t been together that long. I think it’s been just a few weeks ago we were jamming, it felt good, and now we’re giving it a shot. It’s just a matter of getting gigs.
“But we got a good vibe here from the crowd, and hopefully we’ll be back.”
And the Fall Fest should be back in 2026, most likely the first or second weekend in November.
four hours of unbelievable bravery on some hill by Khe Sanh in Vietnam,” he gave as another. And another, due possibly to personal experience: “He is the teacher that tries to have his students understand the difference between the realities of war and the movie or a video game.”
But ultimately, “He or she is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest nation ever known,” Smith concluded before noting the 250th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corp After Smith, Willis introduced Lt. Col. Alvin
Salge of the U.S. Air Force, is was a Vietnam vet, former long-time commander of the VFW Post 7139, and its current adjutant. Salge began by repeating the famous quote from Gen. Douglas McArthur quote, “Old soldiers don’t die, they just fade away.”
Salge began his address by honoring a longtime VFW member in Solvang, Ed Jorgensen, who passed away in October.
Jorgensen was a World War II veteran who came back and was a tireless worker for the local VFW post.
“As a PT boat crewman from 1943 to 1945 in the South Pacific,” Salge said. “He was a teenager being away from home for the first time of his life! PT boat crewmen were on a highspeed 80-foot wooden boat that charged into naval battles to take out the enemy’s ships with torpedoes.”
Jorgensen returned home and continued his service with VFW Post 7139 for many years, according to Salge.
“He set up and conducted many outstanding Veterans Day and Memorial Day programs in Solvang Park,” Salge said. “And in 2021 at age 95 using his skills as a fine cabinet maker, Ed created the large oak plaque in the Veterans Hall foyer with the biographies of 19 Santa Ynez Valley residents that died on active duty to honor them.
“He had made the Veterans Hall a true memorial to veterans, showing his dedication to his service. God bless Ed Jorgensen.”
The Santa Ynez Valley Chorale did two closing numbers: “This Land is Your Land” and “God Bless America.” Taking a page from last year’s performance on the latter song, Chorale director Hyejin Jung turned around to face the audience and led them, encouraging them to sing along.
After the benediction by Bethania Lutheran Church Pastor Chris Brown, Willis thanked the audience members for attending and they all went to enjoy their barbecue lunch.
