CLARKSBURG, Mass. — Clarksburg voters swept two newcomers into office on Tuesday.
Christa Marsh outpolled incumbent Marie Allard 147-91 90 (with one blank) for the town treasurer's position and Audrey Matys defeated longtime Planning Board member Norman D'Amico 149-66 for a vacant seat on the board.
Town Clerk Carol Jammalo said 238 of the town's 1,121 registered voters, or about 21 percent, cast ballots at the Senior Center.
More than 80 votes had been cast by 2 p.m., about two hours after the polls opened at the Senior Center.
Voting had been steady, said poll worker Phillip Fosser, who expected most votes to be cast between 5 and 7, when balloting closed.
The treasurer's race was an upset, with Allard, a veteran town official ousted by former Stamford, Vt., resident Marsh.
Allard served 14 years as treasurer, and a term as town clerk. It was the first time she'd been challenged for office.

Both candidates spent the afternoon at the entrance to the Senior Center driveway with signs at the ready.
D'Amico, also a longtime town official, had been encouraged to run for the Planning Board when it appeared no one would stand for the vacant office. But Matys, a native of Clarksburg, decided to try for the office as an entry into public service.
All other candidates for offices were unopposed, including incumbent Selectman Carl McKinney, who garnered 200 votes, and Fosser, who was returned as War Memorial trustee with 219 votes. Both will serve three-year terms.
Also re-elected was longtime Moderator Bryan Tanner with 217 votes for a one-year term; Tree Warden Ernest Dix, 213 votes, one year; Board of Health member Timothy Shea, 190 votes for a three-year term, and School Committee member David Berger, 196 votes for a three-year term.
Fire Chief Carlyle "Chip" Chesbro Jr. received a write-in vote each for moderator and tree warden; Paula Wells got a write-in votefor Board of Health

Let her run again in 3 years. She's one of the "KEEP MY JOB ELECTED" people so this is the cost! Go to Town Meeting tonight and vote to turn these positions to appointed and maybe someone else won't have to face this humiliation.
