At last night's meeting, Selectmen James B. Stanton and Roger W. Deal approved the appointment of Joseph Connelly as interim town administrator. Mr. Connelly left his position as interim superintendent of the Boylston-Berlin Regional School District June 30. "This takes a little pressure off," said Mr. Stanton. The board has been searching for a replacement since November and has interviewed five candidates. "We're being very selective," explained Mr. Stanton. "We are requiring previous municipal experience, which is limiting the number of qualified candidates." "Sue (Olsen) knows everything about the position, and we don't want to be training someone new for the first year," said Mr. Stanton. "We want someone to come in and start tackling things right away." "Right now, we are in a situation where there are more positions than qualified people," he said. Ms. Olsen, who has worked for the town for 16 years, had intended to retire in April. Since then, she has worked two days a week, instead of four. "Sue has been trying to fit 50 hours of work into 15," explained Mr. Stanton, "and that's not fair to her."

"Although he's never had municipal experience, he certainly has had management responsibilities as superintendent."
