Testosterone Replacement Therapy Arvin, CA

For most men, getting older is a distant thought; a time when bucket-list items are crossed off the list, financial goals are accomplished, and retirement awaits. But then, one day, we wake up and realize that we're not just getting older - we are older. Workouts in the gym start to cause more aches and pains the next morning. Keeping weight off around the midsection is much harder than it once was. Stretching before an impromptu game of basketball isn't just a good idea - it's necessary for you to perform. And that gets to the crux of what men hate most about aging - the inability to perform as they used to, whether it's in the bedroom or on the basketball court.

Unfortunately, there's no avoiding the inevitable. As men age, their testosterone levels deplete, causing a slew of mid-life maladies like:

  • Depression
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of Energy
  • Lack of Interest in Sex
  • Low Sex Drive
  • Can't Hold an Erection
  • Irritability
  • Weight Gain
  • Muscle Loss
  • Hair Loss
  • Nagging Injuries

Did you know that one in five men over the age of 45 exhibit signs of low testosterone? Male testosterone levels begin dropping gradually as soon as age 30.

ARVIN, Calif. (KERO) — An alleged bullying incident at a local high school was caught on camera resulting in an uproar from fellow students and parents, posting footage of the incident on social media.

The video shows kids at Arvin High School shaving the head of another kid, leaving him with patches of bald spots. He is seen wiping away tears, as the text on the screen says he was pressured into the incident.

Abe Santiago, the mother of the bullied student in the video, would like the school to make it clear with consequences that bullying is unacceptable.

"We want those kids to be punished and to understand that what they did was not right," said Santiago. "They cannot continue to hurt others."

It’s been a devastating experience for Santiago and her son. She tells 23AB that the school apologized for not calling her right away. Santiago and her son’s aunt Flor Santiago say that more needs to be done.

“The parents should see the type of kids they are raising,” said Flor Santiago. “Other times they are telling him things and also hitting him in the stomach, apparently confusing him for someone else. But we both know that you can’t just go up to someone and hit them in the stomach and say ‘I was confused of who it was.’”

Santiago says her son has long hair because he likes it and takes good care of it, and adds the other students did not have permission to do that to her child, relaying that he said he was pressured into it.

Other Kern County parents, like Abby Cortez of Lamont, also spoke out about the incident on Thursday afternoon.

“It’s devastating,” said Cortez. “It made me cry. It made me think, ‘What if it was one of my own kids?’ I don’t know what I would’ve done. It’s hard. I’m still processing it. I’m praying for him, praying for his family, and I am staying strong for them.”

Erin Briscoe-Clark, public information officer and communications manager for the Kern High School District, sent a statement to 23ABC addressing the incident:

Arvin High School administration is aware of a video circulating on social media. The behavior exhibited in the video is clearly unacceptable, and we do not condone bullying of any kinds. When student breach the boundaries of acceptable behavior, they will be held accountable for their actions, and the school will provide support to any affected student. The incident is being thoroughly investigated, and appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken.

The district went on to say the incident is under investigation. They say those responsible will be held accountable for their actions, and the school will provide support to any affected student.

Administrators at Arvin High School also responded to the incident, tweeting:

Kern County grand jury finds City of Arvin improperly collected taxes from Outlets at Tejon

ARVIN, Calif. (KERO) — 23ABC is learning more about a Kern County grand jury report that said the City of Arvin is improperly collecting its Measure L funds from the Outlets at Tejon.

Measure L first appeared on the ballot back in 2008. The City of Arvin voted to pass the tax hike with about 71 percent of residents voting "Yes."

Measure L is an additional sales tax imposed on businesses within the city limits. It is collected from retail purchases like these at the Tejon Outlets and is used to fund programs in the city.

The city then designates those funds for things like expanding anti-gang and drug programs, as well as expanding emergency response and fire prevention. It also goes toward removing trash and litter from the city, paving roads, fixing potholes, and correcting sidewalks.

The grand jury found the City of Arvin is collecting those funds from businesses improperly. Some of the stores on the outlet's property are not in Arvin city limits. That means the city should not have gotten any of that money.

The City of Arvin issued a statement saying it is now aware of the issue and that officials are working to rectify the situation.

23ABC spoke with Arvin's acting City Manager Jeff Jones, about how it plans to repay that money.

"So no, the money has not been used for any purposes. It is currently sitting, waiting for a proper, valid claim to be refunded," said Jones.

Jones explained that the error happened on a corporate level with the stores and the tax software they use not the city. The issue is that the software can't differentiate between businesses in the city and businesses outside the city which led to the overtaxing.

Business owners can now submit claims to the city if they believe they were improperly taxed. Jones says they have about 6 months to do that.

FULL TEXT OF FINDINGS:

SUMMARY: The 2020-2021 Kern County Grand Jury (Grand Jury) found that Measure L funds collected by the Outlets at Tejon (Outlets) were remitted to the State of California (State). The State sent the funds to the City of Arvin (City). However, the Outlets are not within the City limits and the City should not have received the funds. A newly elected City Council, with little or no experience, needs to be educated and trained on their duties and obligations.

The letter the City of Arvin had to send the outlets explaining the situation

It has come to the City of Arvin's attention that your business may be voluntarily remitting a 1% "Measure L" sales tax based on the business' location in the 93203 zip code. If so, then the City of Arvin would like to make you aware that it believes that payment of this tax is not required for businesses located in the Outlets at Tejon or at other locations outside of City limits. By way of background, the City of Arvin passed a 1% sales tax known as "Measure L." This tax only applies to transactions within the jurisdiction of the City, and is remitted by businesses to the State, who then disburses it to the City. The State provides limited information to the City regarding the specific sources of payments for taxes. However, the City has tentatively identified that it appears that a small portion of the businesses located outside of City limits, primarily at the Outlets at Tejon, may have been voluntarily paying Measure L sales tax even though they are not within City limits. This may be a potential corporate accounting issue, and the City had no role in collecting or charging the sales tax for any business located at the Outlets in Tejon or at any other location outside of City limits. The City is providing you this notice so your business is aware of this issue and can stop the process of remitting, or collecting and remitting, sales tax under Measure L as appropriate. Additionally, if you believe your business has paid the sales tax in error, you can submit a claim with supporting documentation to the City using the attached form.

A copy of the Measure L claim form can also be found on the City's website at https://www.arvin.org/212/Claims-Complaints-Requests. The claim form must be completed in full and the original form must be submitted to the City. A copy of the claim form, including claim forms submitted via email, will not be accepted. The claim form will be processed once an original form has been submitted.

Copies of photos, if any, related to the claim may be included with the original claim form.

APPENDIX A 2020-2021 Kern County Grand Jury Report Phone (661) 854-3134 Fax (661) 854-0817 200 Campus Drive PO Box 548 Arvin, California 93203 New York and Company— Measure L Tax March 24, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Claims can be mailed or delivered to: City of Arvin Attn: City Clerk 200 Campus Drive Arvin, CA 93203 The City is providing a half a year to submit a claim, and all claims must be submitted by no later than October 1, 2021. If you have general questions regarding the claims process, please contact Ms. Cecilia Vela at (661) 854-3134. Note that the City is unable to discuss or disclose taxpayer information.

FINDINGS from the grand jury:

F1. The projected cost increases in KCFD services will have a major impact on the budget in FY 2022-2023 and for six years thereafter. F2. The bus routes have been reinstated as of May 10, 2021. Transportation is now available to the general public. F3. The City has notified the parent companies of the stores remitting the incorrect sales tax of the mistake (Appendix A) and the procedure for any claims for refunds (Appendix B). F4. During the 2008 vote on Measure L, the community was led to believe the funds were to be used primarily for roads and public safety. F5. The current Council, because of their lack of experience, need additional education and training. F6. City officials have stated that revenue for FY 2020-2021 will be higher than anticipated and expenditures lower thus creating a more balanced budget.

Grand jury recommendations

RECOMMENDATIONS: R1. The Grand Jury recommends the City institute a funding source by July 1, 2022, to provide for the projected seven-year fire cost increases. (Finding 1) R2. The Grand Jury recommends the City utilize unclaimed Measure L funds for road maintenance. (Finding 3) R3. The Grand Jury recommends additional education and training for the City Council, provided by resources such as the League of California Cities, by August 30, 2021. (Finding 5)

Laborers of the Harvest are getting ready to open their second Open Harvest location in the city of Arvin this Saturday. Laborers of the Harvest’s Executive Director Shari Rightmer said unlike other food banks, the Open Harvest Fresh Food Program offers its members a unique experience.

“It’s the same food that you would get from grocery stores it’s just that the food has hit its sell by date, or its best used by date,” Rightmer explained.

She added that for $30 a month, members get to enjoy up to 3 bags of fresh food. "You can come and go shopping, up to eight times per month,” she said. “You get three bags that you get to fill up with anything that works for you and your family.”

In accordance with California's new SB1383 law, Open Harvest offers fresh food recovered from local grocery stores like Vallarta Supermarkets. She says that the Laborers of the Harvest’s goal is to prevent food from being thrown away.

“The new law is going to be implemented starting January 2024,” Rightmer stated. “It will be illegal for grocery stores to throw those foods away and so we’re just kind of ahead of the game a little bit and what we do is not only recover the food but then we bring it to our Open Harvest markets.”

The ribbon cutting ceremony will be this Saturday, October 14 at 1 in the afternoon. Some of the special guests attending the ceremony include Arvin's Mayor Olivia Trujillo and Assembly Qoman Jasmeet Bains. The guest of honor will be Supervisor David Couch.

“Supervisor David Couch has always been a big supporter of Laborers of the Harvest and of me personally,” Rightmer said. “He’s always championed what we have been doing, for eight years I guess, especially the last four years and food recovery for us.”

Rightmer says that the Laborers of the Harvest hope to open more Open Harvest locations in the future.

The newly released Census Bureau urban area reveals all 10 or the densest urban areas are in California, as well as 39 of the densest 50, and 70 of the 100. This is an unusually large concentration for a single state. An overall summary of the 2020 US urban areas was recently published in 2020 Urban Areas and Data Announced.

This article focuses on the 15 densest urban areas in the United States, according to the 2020 Census. New urban area criteria were adopted for 2020, which renders direct comparisons to previous data from the 1950 through 2010 censuses non-comparable.Chances are that they are unfamiliar to most, with the exception of San Francisco (San Francisco-Oakland)), Los Angeles (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim) and San Jose. These three urban areas are the only ones with more than 100,000 population among the top 15 densest areas.

The 15 Densest Urban Areas

Here’s a surprise, even for those of us closely involved in urban demography. Many of the densest urban areas in the country are located in primarily agricultural areas in California’s interior.

The Mecca, California is the densest urban area. Located just to the north of the Salton Sea, in Riverside County, it is nearly 40 miles east of Palm Springs and 140 miles east of Los Angeles, near the junction of California highways 86 and 111. Covering 0.6 square miles, Mecca has about 6,900 residents and a population density of 10,979 — more than 40% denser than either San Francisco or Los Angeles. Mecca is 70% denser than San Jose, 90% denser than the New York urban area and 170% denser than 89th ranked Portland (Oregon), despite its now nearly half-century of densification policy (urban containment policy). Mecca does not include an incorporated municipality.

The Greenfield, California urban area is second densest and is located in Monterey County, about 30 miles south of Salinas on US-101 and 150 miles south of San Francisco (more than one-third the way to Los Angeles). Greenfield has a population of 18,900 in 2.1 square miles, with a population density of 8,821 per square mile.

The Arvin, California urban area is third densest and located in Kern County, about 20 miles from Bakersfield and 100 miles from Los Angeles, to the west of the Interstate 5 corridor. Arvin has a population of 19,600 in 2.4 square miles, for a population density of 8,266.

The Parlier, California urban area is fourth densest and located in Fresno County, about 25 miles south of Fresno and 210 miles north of Los Angeles. It is located to the east of California highway 99, which is the principal route through the center of the San Joaquin Valley. The urban area has a population of 14,500 in 1.8 square miles, for a population density of 8,124 per square mile.

The Soledad, California urban area is fifth densest and located in Monterey County, between Salinas and second ranked Greenfield, about 20 miles south of Salinas and 140 miles south of San Francisco. With a population of 19,800 and a land area of 2.4 square miles, Soledad’s population density is 7,832 per square mile.

The 2020 San Francisco urban area is the 6th densest. It has a population of 3.3 million, covering a land area of 429 square miles (the 48th largest urban footprint in the nation). Its population per square mile is 7,626.

The 2020 Los Angeles urban area is the 8th densest, with 12.3 million residents in 1,637 square miles (the 8th largest urban footprint the nation), for a density of 7,476 per square mile.

Between the San Francisco and Los Angeles urban areas, the MacFarland urban area, Kern County, is the 7th densest. MacFarland is located on California highway 99, 25 miles north of Bakersfield and 135 miles north of Los Angeles. Its density is 7,599 per square mile.

The Calexico urban area is the ninth densest urban area and is located in Imperial County. Calexico has 38,000 residents in 5.4 square miles, with a density of 7,115. It is about 120 miles east of San Diego, and 85 miles south of the densest urban area, Mecca, south of the Salton Sea. Calexico is also directly across the border from Mexicali an urban area with a population of 958,000, and the capital of Mexico’s state of Baja California.

The 10th densest is the Guadeloupe urban area in Santa Barbara County, located about 10 miles from Santa Maria, with a population of 8,000, with a population density of 7,044.

The 11th and 12th densest urban areas are both in Arizona, located in Yuma County, in the southwestern corner of the state. The Somerton urban area has a population of 14,000 and a density of 6,836. The San Luis urban area is located virtually at the southwestern corner of the state, and has a population of 25,000 with a density of 6,710. Like Calexico, California (above), 50 miles to the west using Mexico federal highway 2, San Luis is directly across the border from a much larger urban area, San Luis Rio, Sonora (Mexico), which has about 200,000 residents.

The Wasco, California urban area is located in Kern County, between California highway 99 and Interstate 5. Wasco has 22,000 residents and a density of 6,449 per square mile. Wasco is 30 miles north of Bakersfield and 140 miles north of Los Angeles.

The San Jose urban area, almost exclusively suburban in urban form, is the 14th densest urban area in the nation. San Jose has a population of 1.8 million, in 285 square miles, with a population density of 6,436. San Jose is nearly 8% denser than the New York urban area (5,980 per square mile).

The Orosi urban area is the 15th densest and is in Tulare County. Like Mecca, this urban area does not include an incorporated general purpose government. Orosi’s 13,000 residents live in 2.0 square miles, at a density of 6,422.

Urban Density: From Los Angeles and New York to Mecca and Arvin

The urban area that most would expect to be at the top of the density ratings is New York (New York-Jersey City-Newark). And, indeed, New York City was the densest large municipality in the country. (28,000 per square mile). However, the population density in the balance of the urban area is far lower, at 3.200 per square mile. By comparison, the Los Angeles urban area had a suburban density about double that of New York, at 6,400. The San Francisco urban area suburbs has a density of 4,900 and the San Jose urban area suburbs are at 4,700. The large comparatively more dense suburban expanses of these three urban areas explains their higher overall densities compared to the New York urban area.

Density, it turns out, does not simply occur in places like New York or Los Angeles. In many cases, it shows up in the smallest urban areas.

ARVIN, Calif. (KERO) — If you have a love of coffee and find yourself gravitating towards Starbucks lattes or iced teas, now you have the chance to join their team.

The Starbucks corporation is holding hiring events throughout Kern County — the latest one taking place Tuesday, August 24 at the Kern County Library on Campus Drive in Arvin from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“I always like to say too, is I'm going to tell you they’re hiring for the shift supervisors and baristas, but that doesn’t mean that if the right person comes in they could be the store manager," said Josh Conner with Job Fest Kern County.

Conner says working with Starbucks can open a world of opportunity. Along with competitive pay, Starbucks offers a variety of benefits you wouldn’t normally find in a service industry or part-time job, including full tuition coverage through Arizona State University and even adoption assistance.

The company also offers benefits for full-time and part-time employees. Along with enjoying some free food and a free drink during your shift, the company also provides Spotify accounts for employees.

“I almost want to go work for them because eventually I'm going to want to move out of state and I could just transfer. That's a worldwide company. You want to move to Japan? There might be an opportunity for you to go work in Japan," Conner said. "It's an amazing company and their benefits are ridiculous.:

The company is looking to bring on happy and hardworking individuals, those who will always greet a customer with a smile on their face. It also helps if you can show a knack for problem-solving and conflict resolution.

If you're interested in taking part in this hiring event, you can email s25581@retail.starbucks.com to reserve a spot.
