My name is Beverly Miganowicz Bartolomeo. I was brought up in Templeton, attended school at Templeton Center and graduated from NRHS. My maiden name was Chipman. My fathers family has been in town for four generations. When I was a kid we had a small farm. It was pretty remote on South Road; three cars went by in a day.
I married John Miganowicz after high school. I have one daughter and two granddaughters of my own. I am now married to Frank Bartolomeo. We have been running a greenhouse operation in Leominster. My husband is the best grower in Worcester County. We sell vegetable plants and bedding plants (flowers) from the end of April to July. John works for us. My daughter does farmers markets in Waltham, MA. We are living on South Road - there is no place like home.
In the early seventies, I was involved with the first concerned citizens group. I worked with Gladys Salame to get her elected as the first woman selectman in the town of Templeton. I ran the Board of Health and served two terms. I probably would not be involved now if the town wasn't such a mess. It is not acceptable for anyone to be treated badly by any town official.
I will give everyone my view from the top of the hill on South Road - everyone is free to agree or disagree.

Just thinking on a windy day.

I was amazed how fast the old legal council for Templeton resumed power. What could the reason be?  Well, for twelve days in February they were paid about $416.00 a day. If there are 365 days in the year, Koppelman & Paige theoretically could earn a 151,840.00. Gee, don't you think we could buy a new truck for the highway dept, and a cruiser for Templeton's, finest. Some day down the road ,when we don't have anything to do, we should add up how much money our "old coordinator"  has spent on our darling law firm.in the past nine or ten years. I think I don,t want to know the truth, it might make me sick...-K&P really loves  our town. They could not wait to get rid of the law firms Julie & Bob hired, could it be they need to be in control, maybe they are afraid we will discover what really came down with the sewer plant deal. They should worry, one day it will all come out..Now  with the law suit against Julie, Bob.& Jeff., you know we will watch every move that is made...Ok Bubba, What are you going to do now?  Papa Bear

  1. With the lawsuit against the former majority of the selectman over the firing of CS happening, perhaps one of the reasons for the firing that could brought up, if it gets that far, is that Carol was covering up the fact that K&P screwed the town out of monies due from American Tissue. If there were some way to get this subject brought up a the trial, then maybe K&P would have to address it.

  2. Between the botched Assignee and Assumption agreement, the Writs of attachment, the lawsuit with graves (spending 23,000 to not pay a $3,000 bill) up to the joke of a settlement statement written by Shirrin Everett of K&P the list goes on and on and on...
    All of this is in addition to the annual hosing of the taxpayers on the part of K&P.
