TOWN NOTES Find Route 6A alternative Tuesday With the ongoing water main replacement project on Route 6A,finding an alternate route during daylight hours will continue to be a safe bet through Thanksgiving. This will be especially true Tuesday, as work below the railroad bridge willshut down through traffic for most of the day. Summit set for response to homelessness The Barnstable Human Ser- vices Committee, Town Man- ager John Klimm and Police Chief John Finnegan willcon- vene ablue-ribbonroundtable on homelessness Wednesday from 3 to 5 p.m. at the police station on Phinney's Lane at Route 132 in Hyannis. The meeting, which is open to the public, will bring to- gether representatives of the many agencies and or- ganizations that work with chronically homeless men and women with physical, mental and substance abuse challenges. The goal is to catalog resources , identify gaps in services, and create a plan for "Operation in from the Streets,"the successor to last year's"Operation in from the Cold." In a recent interview, Paul Mangano , executive direc- tor of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and an Eastham resident ,praised the direction in which service to the homeless is headed on Cape Cod. He cited a San Diego study that followed 15 homeless people for 18 months , discovering that their unplanned and uncoor- dinated care cost $3 million and left them no better off than they were at the start of the study. Advocates in Barnstable hope "Operation in from the Streets" will get homeless people off the streets and out of the camps around down- town into progressive levels of supervised housingleading to independent living.

W NDSOCK Wind for the world Under ideal conditions, wind power could provide 34 percent of the world's electricity by 2050, accord- ing to a study by the Global Wind Energy Council and Greenpeace. That achievement, the re- port claims, would "prevent 113 billion tons of global warminggasesfrom entering the atmosphere" over the next 44 years. "To achieve these goals," Kate Smolski, Greenpeace global warming campaigner, stated in a press release, "we will need both on and offshore wind and this is why Greenpeace has been such a strong advocate for the wind project proposed on Cape Cod." The report is available at www.greenpeace.org/inter- national/press/r eports/glo - balwindenergyoutlook. The press release notes that 11,531 megawatts of new wind energy capacity was installed worldwide in 2005, an increase of 40.5 per- cent over 2004. The leaders in overall production were Germany (18,428MW), Spain (10,027 MW), the U.S. (9,149 MW), India (4,430 MW) and Denmark (3,122 MW).
