Weigh your mends at Repair Cafe
Continued from Page 4
ASTORIA — And the
number is 1,598 for this
year — January through
October. That’s how many
pounds of repairable items
the volunteers at Astoria’s
Repair Cafe have weighed
and repaired, or given
advice on, to keep items —
from jeans to weed-whack-
ers — from ending up in a
landfill.
Astoria’s next Re-
pair Café is 6 to 8 p.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 28, at
1010 Duane St.
Repair Cafe is a com-
munity of people who
repair, sew, sharpen and
Philosophy
give expert advice on
pretty much anything that
is broken, torn, dull or in
need of repair. (No gas
engines.)
Join us with your
repairables on the fourth
Wednesday of each month,
except for next month
when our December event
will be one week earlier:
Dec. 19.

His worry over his late
mother’s devotion to a rad-
ical Irish-based Christian
cult called “Two by Twos”
helped shape his less
restrictive beliefs which
are encapsulated in John
Fugelsan’s 1997 interview
of George Harrison.
It was the last signif-
icant TV interview with
Harrison, who died in
2001. The “quiet Beatle”
spoke about human con-
sciousness and the spiritual
insights he learned collab-
orating with sitar player
Ravi Shankar and studying
with the Indian mystic
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Peterson rejected the
radical elements of the
cult, instead embracing
what he calls a “love of
God’s light.” Like Harri-
son, he believes everyone
should choose their own
path.
“If I can be the best that
I can be, then everybody
benefits. Life is a bunch
of experiences that can
all be positive — if you
make them positive,” he
said. “Because, if you have
negative things in your
life, and negative things
like regret, you have anger
and that just hurts you.” CW
