David F. Warde Sr. Margaret D. Seeber weeks before Walton's resignation takes effect. The two will work together during that time to make the transition as smooth as possible.

McQuain estimates the job search for a permanent replacement for Walton will take at least until Dec. I and perhaps into the new year. Donnelly said he is not interested in a permanent position as principal, but is willing to stay on as long as the search takes. Walton's letter to parents is a story of growth, using a parable about a farmer who put a small pumpkin into ajar where it grew only to the size of the container. She spoke of people setting limitations for themselves, like those set up by the size of the farmer's jar.

"The difference here is that somebody else doesn't poke them into a jug they do it themselves. Each of us decides how much he's going to grow and what kind of world he's going to live in," she said. When Walton came to Warrensburg in January 1992 from a principalship of a small Catholic school in Rome (Oneida County), she said she had picked the area "by looking at a map and deciding it looked like a nice place to be." Tuesday's letter shows that her outlook has changed a little since then. "The natural state for a human being is to be happy, full of life and interest and curiosity. Life's too short to put up with a drab routine, with boredom and fatiguing sameness," she stated.

Walton said her new position will cover all of the chiltf-care programs in Oneida, Madison and Herkimer counties. By Linda Bassarab Correspondent WARRENSBURG Elementary school Principal Jude Walton announced her resignation Monday, less than a week into the new school year. Walton, who has accepted a position as program director of Mid-York Child Care Coordinating Council in Utica, will leave her Warrensburg job Sept. 30. "It is a wonderful advancement for me," she said in a letter to parents that was sent home with pupils Tuesday.

The school board accepted Walton's resignation Monday night. Her three-year contract with the school district was set to expire at the end of 1995. Queensbury resident Peter Donnelly, 59, who served as director of pupil personnel in the Queensbury schools from 1967 to 1991, has been named interim principal until a permanent replacement for Walton can be found. School Superintendent Roger McQuain said he has known and worked with Donnelly in the past and feels he will do an excellent job. Donnelly's early credentials include teaching science in Shalmont for two years, followed by a five-year stint as a guidance coordinator at Bethlehem Central School in Delmar.

"Frankly, I got bored with retirement," said Donnelly, who, after a year away from the job, served as the human resources director for the Joy Department Store in South Glens Falls from May 1992 to June of this year. He will start his job Monday, two NORTH CREEK David F. Warde 81, of Main Street, died on Tuesday (Sept. 5, 1995) at his home following a long illness. Born on Oct.

Services will be conducted at 1 1 a.m. Friday at Sullivan, Minahan, By Neil Murray Correspondent LAKE GEORGE The owner of a lot the town is testing as a water source for Diamond Point said Monday he'd be happy to see his land taken by eminent domain. Arthur Brown said he thinks a forced sale of his 2 1 lot on Diamond Point Road will bring him a better price than the town offered him this spring.

The town is under pressure from the state Department of Health to replace the Diamond Point reservoir with a water source that will be less vulnerable to runoff pollution. The state deadline for finding a new source was Aug. 3 1 Town Supervisor Louis Tessier said the town has requested a three-month extension. Health Department officials were not available Tuesday to comment on the status of the town's request. Tessier said drilled wells on Brown's lot may provide an affordable solution to Diamond Point's water problem.

The district has only about 70 users to pay for a new water source. Test wells will be sunk soon, Tessier said. If they show an adequate flow, the town will proceed to acquire Brown's land, he said. Brown wished the town success. "I hope you get all kinds of water," he told the board.

"Water is worth something, and so far you haven't taken that into account." He said the town's earlier estimate that his land is worth $20,000 to $30,000 was based only on its value as a building lot. If there's also a good supply of water, an appraiser will set its value higher, Brown predicted. Tessier said the town has offered Brown $35,000 for his land, and can't pay more than fair market value. He said Brown's suggested price of $75,000 was far too high. If the town decides to force Brown to sell, the board will offer a price based on several independent appraisals, Tessier said.

The final terms of the sale might have to be set by the state Court of Claims, Tessier and Brown agreed. In other business at Monday's meeting: The board adopted a law to ban undue construction noise between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. Tessier announced that the town has received a state permit to open a 2-acre landfill for construction and demolition debris. The new dump will allow the town to take more debris, Tessier said.

He said the tipping fee will be close to the $16 a cubic yard the town now charges for accepting small loads of debris for transfer. The dump will be available only to town residents, Tessier said. Tessier said work will be under way soon to stabilize a section of West Brook that washed out when the state removed a beaver dam several years ago. The Warren County Soil and Water Conservation District has received a $14,500 grant from the state to provide engineering and materials for stabilizing the brook, and the town will supply labor, Tessier said. Joan Payne, one of the founders of the Hamilton County-based Adirondack Discovery program, encouraged the board to pay $1,000 for a series of five tourist-oriented presentations on regional history next summer.

Payne said a pilot series at the Diamond Point library this summer was a success. The board said it would study Payne's proposal. KSicnael A. Kuzmich GREENWICH Services for Michael A. Kuzmich, 10 a.m.
