At 53, Daniela Peregrina is an example that it's never too late to pursue your dreams and start a new chapter in life. Her story in our town began in 1995 when she first visited Tehachapi and fell in love with its charm. By 1999, she had made it her home, a decision that marked the beginning of a deep connection to the community. Born in California, Daniela's childhood took a different path when her family moved to Mexico when she was just seven. This move exposed her to a blend of Serbian and...
This is article No. 19 in a series. See previous The Loop newspaper issues on www.TheLoopNewspaper.com for more information, education and inspiration in how Joyful Life Hypnotherapy can help you have the joyful life you deserve. At every client's first session with me, I introduce the concept of living in the now, living in the present moment. If we find our thoughts are frequently about past regrets and events, it brings us into a state of stress. And when our thoughts are filled with fear...

One of the coolest, most interesting birds in the Tehachapi area is also one of the hardiest: the Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus). These comical, animated birds are not only fast and fearless enough to kill and eat rattlesnakes, they do not migrate, so they must also be able to withstand the harshest Tehachapi weather. Roadrunners are large birds, nearly two feet in length with long tails and long stout bills with a subtle hook at the end. Their overall plumage is a mix of black...

This is a great question and one I hear often. Families usually want to come in right away and prepare. My first response is stay home with your loved one. Time with your loved one is your most precious commodity. I have had instances where families were at the funeral home preparing and their loved one passed away while they were with me. This can be devastating. We can help you begin this difficult process at home and aid you in preparing for a meeting with an arrangement counselor after your...

Everyone paused from serving themselves at the food table and stood quietly with hands on heart as the song rang out across the park. A...

"Coffee – favorite drink of the civilized world" – Thomas Jefferson This month I want to celebrate coffee, where it came from and how we became a coffee drinking nation in spite of our tea-drinking roots. In part 2, I will discuss how to roast your own beans to brew the perfect cup, so you'll be all set to enjoy a cuppa come the 29th. About eight years ago I became a certified coffee snob. Prior to that I never drank the stuff. I basically went from zero to coffee snob overnight. What bro...
The Tehachapi Symphony bids a fond farewell to Cellist Samuel Torres, who is leaving this week to attend Coast Guard Boot Camp in New Jersey. The Coast Guard is very selective and only takes the finest recruits into their ranks. Samuel definitely fits that definition. Samuel has played the Cello since he was 9 years old. He played in the Tehachapi Strings Orchestra and then moved up to the Tehachapi Symphony. Members of the audience often remarked on his beautiful curly hair and the big smile...
I can't seem to find a good beginning for this piece. I want it to contain a happy ending. Keep reading, it's in here somewhere. My true story begins in April 1917 when this nation entered into what was known as, The World War or The Great War. Due to the number of nations involved it was idealistically termed as The War To End All Wars. This conflict had begun in Europe in 1914 and the United States had hoped, unsuccessfully, to avoid becoming involved. My grandparents, Tom and Minnie Anderson,...
Football season is starting and many immediately draw their thoughts toward and attention to the National Football League, NCAA or high school football. While the game is played on several different levels across the country and in some cases, the world, some folks forget just how many leagues there once were and variations of the game ... unless you lived through one, like I did. As many of you are aware, I used to travel the country covering various sports via radio broadcasts, mostly at the...

The Desert Rose Garden Club sold cactuses and house plants at their booth. All monies raised goes to the "Beautify California City Project" fund.
