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.

The Howdy Doody Show

Back in the 50,s there was a show on tv called the Howdy Doody Show. It reminds me how similar the BOS meetings are to that show. Howdy was a puppet that was manipulated by a person unseen. Howdy had friends also.One was Clarabell the clown. Every show has a clown., yes the Howdy Doody show and the BOS has its  similarity's. The only difference are there are no curtains and Clarabell had a horn.

    At least the Howdy Doody show came to an end. Not sure that will ever happen in Templeton.
