ATHOL - When Sharon E. Nault applied to join the town's senior tax abatement program, it was a perfect match.

"From nothing, she created a library system for students up there," said Heather Brissette.
The job found for Saverio F. Kaczmarczyk was not as much of a match for his experience, but he has taken to it enthusiastically.
