The Pilot House has been a
significant response but is
a minimalresponse to the
great numbers of homeless
individuals who need this
type of housing. Operation
in from the Cold, though
a nice start, is far from
adequate. The Town Coun-
cilors and pertinent human
services specialists should
meet and come up with a
more comprehensive plan
before winter.
2.1feel that this council
should set up a meeting
with all the towns' managers
to develop a collaborative
plan of action to house and
help the homeless before
cold weather comes. One
quick idea is for each town
to provide one three-bed-
room house with supportive
servicesfor three to five
homeless individuals. I
contend that this is a very
manageable plan for each
town and would provide 45
to 60 beds. I also feel it im-
portant and necessary that
each town vote on designat-
ing a percentage of their
operating budgets to help
the homeless. I would ask
for 1percent of each town
budget.
3.1 feel it important that
we all agree that moving the
homeless from one camp to
another is unacceptable and
must end immediately. To
this end, I recommend that
until a more permanent so-
Kidon be imDlemenfed that
the Barrtstable Town Coun-
cil work on a plan in which
homeless men and women
can sleep in the Town Hall
Building or another build-
ing which the town council
finds. Resources for staffing
to be arranged by the town
council.
4. Until #3 can be imple-
mented, I feel that a legiti-
mate camp should be estab-
lished by the town. The
town will provide bathroom
facilities, sleeping resources
even if this means tents
along with food, transporta-
tion, garbage pickup, etc.
Parting Question:
If it is inhumane for us to
leave men and women on
the streets to suffer and die,
and we continue to do so,
doesn't this mean we are
inhumane?
Parting Comment:
We, the Town of
Barnstable, must become
humane.

Editor 's note: This letter
was sent to Patriot colum-
nist Alan Petrucelli.
In searching for images of
Kathy Mattea, I happened
to stumble upon an article
you wrote (July 15, 2005)
on Kathy Mattea, including
your interview with her.
Ijust wanted to tell you
how much I enjoyed and
appreciated your piece,
and how refreshing to read
an interview so fresh and
insightful.
It also represents another
of the seemingly boundless
considerations that demon-
strates the most important
thing her loyal fans adore
about Kathy Mattea. While
I love her voice and could
listen to Kathy sing from
now on, what makes my
spirit leap is her spirit. It is
the most compelling thing
about her that draws me
-- and I'm sure many other
fans -to her and causes
me to respect and admire
her beyond the capacity of
words to describe.
Who she is probably
shouldn't be that special,
should it? And yet, among
celebrities in particular, who
she is, is truly unique and
positively beautiful. Every
time I think of her, or read
something about her such
as your delightful interview,
I pray to God to bless her as
abundantly as she blesses
the world by being that per-
son she is.
I took your article off the
Internet, and formatted it
just for my own scrapbook.
Thank you for doing Kathy
justice. I hope to read more
of your work!

Regional OKH let
village down
The Town of Barnstable's
Old King's Highway Com-
mittee has worked faithfully
to preserve the commu-
nity character along 6A by
reviewing the "aesthetic
appropriateness" of propos-
als "to the historic integrity
ofthe district, neighborhood
and setting." Unfortunately,
the regional Old King's
Highway interprets this mis-
sion very differently.
On Aug. 1, the regional
OKH Committee unani-
mously overturned the
Town of Barnstable's OKH
Committee's unanimous
decision to deny paving and
striping of the parking lot
at the historic Our Lady of
Hope Church.
The public process was
not respected at that hear-
ing. Some speakers were
allowed to have their say for
as long as they chose while
others were cut short. Let-
ters submitted to the Old
King's Highway Committee
weren't recognized, except
those read into the record
by the appellant. A letter
sent to Atty. James Wilson,
the counsel for the regional
OKH committee, was ab-
sent from the record.
The proponents for the
paving project for Our Lady
of Hope church presented
their case to Barnstable's
OKH committee over three
meetings. I appreciate the
due diligence that these vol-
unteer committee members
paid to this project. The
fault of "paving paradise"
belongs to the regional
OKH Committee, where
Barnstable's OKH was a
defendant.

It would have been
cool to have a wind
farm
New England experienced
record high electric demand
on Aug. 2.
To cope with the record
demand, the New England
electric grid manager had to
dim the lights a bit by imple-
menting a 5 percent voltage
reduction. Here on Cape Cod,
electric supplies were so tight
that NSTAR asked authori-
ties at the Massachusetts
Military Reservation to run
their generators to free up
between 2 and 3megawatts
of needed electric supply.
Critics of Cape Wind often
say,incorrectly,that the wind
farm would be of no help dur-
ing these hot summer electric
peak days because the wind
is light in the summer.
As any sailor knows.rOff-
shore winds pick up in the
afternoon on hot and sunny
summer days because of the
difference in'air temperature
over land and over the ocean.
Hot and sunny summer after-
noons are also when the use
of electricity peaks as people
run their air conditioners.
The scientific data tower
on Horseshoe Shoal recorded
decent to strong winds dur-
ing each afternoon of the
past six record-breaking . ,,
high electric demand days,
when Cape Wind would have
been providing between 100
to 420 megawatts of needed
electricity to the Barnstable
substation.

6A is not for cyclists
Oil and water don't mix.
Neither do bicycles and 6A.
If somebody wants to ride
his bicycle downtown for the
mail, or go somewhere and
do something, more power
to him or her.The thing that
I object to is the fleet of bi-
cycles which operate in such
a way as to bring 6A down to
bicycle speed. It'simpossible
to pass a bicycle safely when
oncoming traffic is present.
One must pass a bicyclejust
like a car when all is totally
clear.
There are bicycle trails for
fleets, races and jamborees.
Pleasestay off 6A.
