import, Burke said.
In 1904 the town purchased the
wooden dam and flour and saw mill
built by Thomas Kenner in 1877 for

The concrete dam was built to re-
place the original dam in 1906. The
dam was last used to this or any pur-
pose in 1930.

ming and hawing, on March 22 the
Front Royal Town Council unani-
mously approved acceptance of a
$123,000 grant from federal and state
wildlife departments to facilitate the
dam’s demolition. While the town
attempted to “fast track” the demo-

The first time we walked into Hidden Springs was such a positive experience for all of us! We were greeted with
a warm hello and smile by the owners Vicki and Daryl Davidson and their professional staff who genuinely
enjoy what they do. When we left, they made us feel as if we had spent the afternoon with “family.” Hidden
Springs is a beautiful, small community setting with all the comforts and warmth of home which afford an en-
joyable lifestyle with peace of mind for our family. The staff has been most respectful, caring and friendly which
are qualities you would expect from professinals. Hidden Springs is nestled atop a gorgeous mountain setting
with spectacular views, but this retirement community offers so much more than the beauty of the Shenandoah
Valley. They offer a safe, carefree, fun lifestyle with the oppurtunity to make new friends that quickly become
family. This community is designed with the needs of the residents in mind and the professional staff is com-
mited daily to maintain an enhanced quiality of life for the residents while remaining independent. Hidden
Springs is our “second family” and we are so blessed to be a part of this community!

Royal, despite its laid-back, small-
town appearance, is a complex orga-
nization of almost 15,000 residents
(42% of the total population of War-
ren County) and an annual budget of
$10 million. At the moment there
are only two elected institutions in
Front Royal – the Office of the May-

Town Council, the citizens of Front
Royal would have little or no control
or oversight of the Mayor, the bud-

staff … it would become a miniature
“Washington on the Shenandoah”.
The problem is not the Town
Council but the quality of its mem-

assets or business to just anyone
who walked through the door with
little or no qualification or with a
questionable background? And yet,
that is precisely the way we elect our
