Meet Stephens City’s next mayor
Unopposed, Joy Shull will be town’s first female leader
Unchallenged candidate Joy Shull will soon become Stephens City’s first female
mayor.
By Brandon Davis
The Sherando Time
After serving 16 years as the
Mayor of Stephens City, Ray Ewing will step down after the town
elections, held on May 4th. Taking his place will be unopposed
mayor candidate Joy Shull, who
will be the first woman mayor of
Stephens City.
Shull lived in Winchester prior
to moving to Stephens City in
1972, where she taught at Handley High school for 33 years as an
Earth Science teacher before retiring in 2000. Not a new face at
town meetings, Shull has served
as Councilwoman for 30 years.
According to her this is the longest anyone has ever severed on
a town council in the state of Virginia. Joy Shull sat down with The
Sherando Times to share a little
about herself and her future as
the town’s mayor.
Davis: Why do you think you’re
qualified to be Mayor of Stephens
City?
Shull: Well, I have been Vice
Mayor for most of those years (as
a Councilwoman) and I’m pretty
familiar with the routine and
what is going on. And that’s one
of the things that I think is important for continuity. We have
so many projects going on right
now for someone to walk in who
hasn’t at least served on Town
Council or have been part of the
workings of the town it would be
very difficult.
Davis: What do you see as the
town’s biggest issues it faces?
Shull: I don’t think we have any
major issue that’s facing us. We
have some ongoing projects of
course the one that is close to my
heart because I have been Chairman of Water and Sewer all these
years is expanding and upgrading
our system. We have development going into the north of us
that we need to provide the infrastructure for, so that’s a major
thing.
Davis: So, on the flipside what
do you see as the positives or the
strengths of the town?
Shull: The town itself and its citizens. I think we have a nice community here where the citizens
seem to enjoy living in this environment. They are supportive, interested in the town, and I think
they want to keep that small town
atmosphere but yet they want to
have some of the modern conveniences too.
Davis: What would be your top
two or three goals as mayor or in
Shull: I’d like to have a smooth
transition because we will have
a new council member because
Mike Grim is not running for
council. We’ll have a replacement
for me and I’ll be the new mayor, so there will be some transition there and I would like it to
go smoothly. Without any major
interruptions to anything that is
going on. Of course we have a
very good staff and they keep us
straight when need be. Then I’d
like to see the major projects are
completed the way they should be
and not just haphazardly. I’d like
to have good relations with our
neighbors and I think that’s important. I have lived here for over
40 years now and we have people
that were here before I was but
then there are also people who
move in and move out. I’d like to
have perhaps more contact with
the citizens and the town and
get feedback and information for
them. I hope that they always feel
like my door is open and that they
can always come and talk. To me
that is important.
Davis: I know you’re going to
start your first four year term but
do you think you will run again as
Mayor?
Shull: I’ll consider it when the
time comes. Let me get through
the fist term. I have found that
each time I came up for reelection for council that I was in the
mist of some big project or the

of maintaining tax levels and pro-

them low. Stephens City is very
conservative and we have been
extremely lucky with our finances. We are in a lot better position
than a lot of small towns our size.
So, hopefully we can keep them
low. I think maybe only once or
twice since I have been on council have we had to raise taxes and
its been a very small amount.
The Council has always been very
conservative and has watched
their money. Water and sewer
have gone up a number of times
simply in response to higher
regulations from the state. When
we joined with Frederick County
their increases affect us and we
have to pass it on. Just to raise
them? No, we don’t. Every time
we have had to raise we felt that
we we’re definitely justified in
that increase.
Davis: What church is it?
Weight was their opponent.
Don and Lori Johnson fought it.
With the help of the Bariatric Program at Winchester Medical Center
they lost 300 pounds and opened doors that had been closed.
The Martinsburg couple goes to movies again, and sporting events.
They take long walks. And thanks to diet and exercise there is an
added bonus. Their prescriptions for high blood pressure and type II
diabetes are no longer needed.
If weight is your opponent, see if we can touch your life too.

the rest of my time to. She demands that she goes for a walk

Davis: What kind of dog is it?
Shull: A mutt.
Davis: Hey, that’s the best kind of
dog.
Shull: Their the only kind according to my father. But, I lost
my husband two years ago so I’m
kind of reconnecting my energies. And that was one of the reasons I decided to run for mayor. I
no longer had the obligations at
home and responsibilities I had
in the past. I feel like I have the

Struggle against a $3 million shortfall ends
2010-2011 school year budget is approved
supplies and a $700,000 cut in
technology equipment. It was
also proposed to raise high school
parking fees, require ‘pay to participate’ fees for middle and high
school sports, change the kindergarten program to an alternating
full day schedule and eliminate
freshman sports.
The General Assembly revised
the state budget however and the
county’s public schools would
only face a $3 million short fall.
At the Board’s meeting on March
26th, Schools Superintendent Patricia Taylor said, “The budget approved by the General Assembly

The cut of freshman sports will reduce the chance of play time for many young
high school athletes who will battle upperclassmen for the opportunity. It is also
plausible to assume that competitiveness in Junior Varsity and Varsity sports
could dwindle due to a lack of experience on the field or court.

On April 20th the School Board
unanimously approved the 2010-
2011 fiscal school year budget for
Frederick County Public Schools.
Battling what the board thought
was a $7.1 million budget short
fall, many unpopular proposals

FCPS Coordinator of Policy, Records Management, and Communication Steve Edwards explained
that, “In the current fiscal year, we
spent approximately $10.5 million on VRS contributions in the
School Operating Fund. In FY11,
the contribution will be reduced
by just over $3 million due to the
reduction in the VRS rates approved by the General Assembly.”
With this cost relief on the
schools’ budget the proposed reduction of 39 full time employees
was revised to cut down to just
eight positions along with the
elimination of a salary decrease.
The pay to participate fee was
also altered to charge not middle
school but high school athletes
with a fee of $75 per sport, a student cost that the board’s press
release stated would contribute
to coaching salaries. The elimination of freshman sports however
was finalized in the budget last
Tuesday.
Edwards said that, “$53,912 is
being saved in the School Operating Fund. Each high school also
will realize savings in their School
Activity Fund.” He later wrote
that, “it is important to note that
freshmen will still be able to participate in athletics at the JV level

although the freshman sports are
being eliminated.”
Still the cut of freshman sports
will reduce the chance of play
time for many young high school
athletes who will battle upperclassmen for the opportunity. It is
also plausible to assume that competitiveness in Junior Varsity and
Varsity sports could dwindle due
to a lack of experience on the field
or court. Will the School Board
eventually bring back freshman
sports if given the chance? Edwards said that, “This is a question the school board would have
to answer.”
It is also important to note
that the School Board did not go
along with the proposal to change
the kindergarten program into
an alternating full day schedule.
Instead, after hearing a strong
voice of dislike by parents at a
public hearing session in February, the Board decided to keep
the current half day kindergarten
program for now. The Board is
still looking at other options for
kindergarten and is committed to
eventually establishing a full day
schedule. Although the budget
shortfall was closed this will be
the second consecutive year that
school operating costs have been
cut. The total funding for this
budget is roughly $153.6 million.
The school operating fund will require $123.7 million of that total
alone. In 2010 the school operating costs were reduced by $3.9
million and an additional $7.6
million reduction will be dealt in
2011. On top of that the county
schools are still facing increases
in student enrollment with 250
more students expected next year
than in 2009.

Parents Encouraged to Discuss
Dangerous Game with Their
Children
The Frederick County Public
Schools Student Support Services
Department has become aware
of a growing issue that is posing a great risk to area students.
Over the past week, school staff
has become aware of an increasing number of students playing
a dangerous game known by a
number of names including California High, Pass Out, Tap Out
and Knock Out. This activity is
truly a “game” to kids as it produces a euphoric high like drugs.
Frederick
County
Public
Schools Health Services Coordinator Pam Unhoch says, “The
game is a serious health concern
because individuals who play
and pass out could be injured as
a result of a fall. In addition, the
game can cause seizures, brain
damage and possibly cause the
heart to stop beating. Those who
have played the game may exhibit
symptoms including dizziness,
blood shot eyes, disorientation or
headaches.”
Frederick County Public Schools
Director of Student Support Services Mitch Peeling says, “This is
a community issue. Parents need
to speak with their children about
the dangers of playing this game.

“I’m really excited about going to art museums because I’ve done oil painting before and I really want to see the Louvre. “ – Devyn Drago
11 year-old headed to Europe
Aylor Middle School student selected as People to People ambassador
many parents left after hearing
the price of the trip.
“One day we got something in
the mail that said I was nominated to be a part of People to
People and to come to a meeting
to find out more information,”
states Devyn.
When she had her personal interviews in the fall when she was
10, family members recall that
the questioners were amazed at
her maturity for her age. The application process was extensive,
but after a one-on-one personal
interview and three recommendations from teachers Devyn,
also know as DeeDee, received
the good news last December.
Since then she has been participating in monthly project meetings where all candidates are
required to meet with their age
group to connect locally with the
other students to build friendships and create projects on all
three countries prior to traveling abroad. “None of the children knew each other prior to
meeting through the program,”
says Shelley. The next meeting
will be at Skyline Drive for a hiking experience. The leader wants

changing educational journeys
that foster friendship, build the
foundation for personal success,
and offer unique access to people,
places, and activities. Program
delegations are built around local
communities, so students make
friends locally before they travel
globally.”
Before Student Ambassadors
embark on their program, students and families will join us for
orientation meetings that prepare them for the journey. Students participate in four three-

Devyn Drago works on a Greek culture project required for the People to People Ambassador program in order to prepare her for the trip abroad.
hour or six two-hour orientation
meetings to introduce them and
their parents to their local delegation. The orientation meetings
also teach families about the program’s mission which includes:
the importance of Ambassadorial behavior abroad, educates
students and families about the
culture and history of destination
countries, provide students and
parents with detailed information
about what program participants
need to pack, gives delegates and
their families the opportunity to
review all air, land, and/or sea
travel details, allow everyone to
review and discuss safety policies and procedures and provides
an opportunity to ask any other
questions participants and their
families may have about the journey.
Joyce Yancy Largent, Devyn’s
grandmother, highly regards the
program and states, “The program has astounded me.” The
People to People website educates the community in the academic portion of the program
which includes academic recognition available to delegates as

part of their program that varies with the students’ age. Devyn
qualifies in grades 5-8 which earn
a Certificate of Completion from
the Washington School of World
Studies. This can be attached to a
student’s educational portfolio to
help add credibility on scholarship and university applications
and may be presented to classroom teachers for possible extra
credit.
Students in grades 9-12 earn
one semester elective social studies credit and 10 service-learning hours from the Washington
School of World Studies for completion of a community service
project while on the program.
Also, athletes in grades 9-12 earn
one semester elective physical
education credit, as well as one
semester elective social studies
credit.
Students in grades 7-12 have
the option of enrolling with
Eastern Washington University
(EWU) to complete additional
work and earn 1-5 college credits
on a wide range of topics at a reasonable cost. It is suggested that
getting a head start on a college
education shows admissions officers an impressive independence
and interest in the world.
The students are required to
fund their own trip so fundraising began right away. Since
DeeDee will be travelling for 20
days abroad in Europe the cost is
$7,000. The family did not want
to just take money from those
willing to help; they decided to
sell tickets for a chance at a prize.
The first one proved to be difficult
trying to raffle a 32” flat screen
television, but the second fundraiser for a chance to win a Vera
Bradley 3 piece set was most successful. The family purchases the
prize themselves and takes a picture so that ticket buyers know
exactly what they have a chance
in winning. The family continues
its efforts on a monthly basis to
bring funds to each meeting. A
possible host family in one country will provide lodging during
the travels, otherwise students
will stay in five-star hotels.
Grandma Largent reflects on
the entire selection process and
preparations saying, “It has been
a huge honor, not that other students haven’t been able to do this,
but we are honored to have been
chosen. [The family] will probably never be able to go to these
countries, but we have asked
DeeDee to take pictures so that
we can live this experience with
her. We are very proud that she
has been chosen to have this opportunity. This is something she
will never forget.”
“One reason I am so proud of
my granddaughter is because
she is a year ahead in school.
She started her education in private school early and continued
in the advanced grade in public
school and is an honor student.
It is amazing to me, and we have
great aspirations for her. She is in
youth group at church and is very
ambitious. We keep her busy so
that she doesn’t sway the wrong
way. We hope this will work.
There is so much this day and
age where children do things you
don’t expect them to do,” states
Grandma Largent.
When asked about her favorite
part of the upcoming trip Devyn
eagerly stated, “I’m really excited about going to art museums
because I’ve done oil painting
before and I really want to see
the Louvre. I’ve taken class with
Jacqueline Bray in Stephens City
through Artistically Framed.”
She also admits that her favorite
classes in school are art and U.S.
history. The family is working
to help prepare DeeDee for trip
including grandparents Bradley
and Joyce Largent, Ken and Pam
Fahnestock and Dona Dewitt.

The Rise of Islam
America was founded on Christian principles which are being

His righteous ways that evil would come up in our midst.
On May 8th, 1:30pm at the Ashburn library you’ll have a
chance to learn why this is happening and how it has reached
into many of our institutions.

April 26, 2010
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A
seemingly stalled romantic situation
could benefit from your reassurance
that you want this relationship to work.
And if you do, use a tad more of that
irresistible Aries charm.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Going to new places and meeting new
people appeals to both the Taurean’s
romantic and practical side. After all,
you never can tell where those new
contacts can take you. Right?
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That
career-change opportunity that didn’t
work out when you first considered it
could come up again. But this time,
remember that you have more to offer
and should act accordingly.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There
could be some tensions in relationships
— domestic or workaday. But a calm
approach that doesn’t raise the anger
levels and a frank discussion soon will
resolve the problem.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a
good idea to begin preparing for that
career change you’ve been thinking
about for a while. Start to sharpen your
skills and expand your background to
be ready when it calls.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Bless that Virgo skepticism that has
kept you from falling into traps others
seem to rush into. But you might want
to give a new possibility the benefit of
the doubt, at least on a trial basis.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Traveling and career are strong in
your aspect. Perhaps your job will take
you to someplace exotic. Or you might
be setting up meetings with potential
clients or employers. Whatever it is,
good luck.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Someone might use deception
to try to push you into making a decision you’re not fully comfortable with.
But those keen Scorpio senses should
keep you alert to any such attempt.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Romance dominates
this week when Cupid spears the
Archer, for a change. Positive things
also are happening in the workplace.
Expect important news to arrive by the
week’s end.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Anyone trying to bully the Sea
Goat — whether it involves a personal
or a professional matter — will learn a
painful lesson. Others will also benefit
from the Goat’s strong example.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. With things
going the way they are, you should be
able to spare some time and take a
break from your hectic schedule for
some well-earned fun and games.
PISCES (February 19 to March 21)
Your sharp Piscean intuition should be
able to uncover the true agendas of
those who might be trying to catch the
Fish in one of their schemes.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your flair for
innovative art and design keeps you at
least a step ahead of most everyone
else.

We all know that the day after Thanksgiving is commonly known as Black Friday, thanks to all the crowds seeking out

Vaz-Oxlade takes things beyond the
typical “get out of debt” book. Not
only are debts written down and categorized, they’re critiqued and analyzed for what they really cost.
There is plenty of hands-on help.
Focus on long-term goals. Decide
what you really want, because with
debt control, it matters. Write down
your core values, prioritize and set a
goal. Find friends who are compatible
with that goal (spending less to have
fun). Swap bad habits for good ones.
“Debt-Free Forever” explains how
to get a handle on disappearing money
(what happens when the pocket monster eats all the change when you
break a $20), 401(k) plans, insurance,
credit cards and more. There are worksheets, guidelines, instructions on
how to make a budget — everything
you need to become debt free, except
for a pencil, piece of paper and a calculator.
Vaz-Oxlade has a television show
called “Til Debt Do Us Part” (about
couples in debt) on CNBC and has
written 11 books on finances. As she
says on her blog: “Money is only a
tool. You can use it to your advantage
or you can misuse it to your detriment.
You decide.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That
career-change opportunity that didn’t
work out when you first considered it
could come up again. But this time,
remember that you have more to offer
and should act accordingly.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There
could be some tensions in relationships
— domestic or workaday. But a calm
approach that doesn’t raise the anger
levels and a frank discussion soon will
resolve the problem.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a
good idea to begin preparing for that
career change you’ve been thinking
about for a while. Start to sharpen your
skills and expand your background to
be ready when it calls.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Bless that Virgo skepticism that has
kept you from falling into traps others
seem to rush into. But you might want
to give a new possibility the benefit of
the doubt, at least on a trial basis.
Anytime somebody talks about having a “strategy” to get out of debt, it
pays to be leery. There are scams
galore, including those that promise
(for a fee) to take your payments and
make arrangements with lenders to
accept a smaller amount each month.
(Unless you send the check yourself,
you really don’t know where it’s
going.)
However, there’s a new book out that
talks about strategy, and it’s one you
can trust: “Debt-Free Forever (Take
Control of Your Money and Your
Life)” by Gail Vaz-Oxlade (Collins,
$14.95).
There’s a lot of no-nonsense tough
love in Vaz-Oxlade’s plans, and there
should be if a strategy to reduce debt is
going to succeed. After all, the average consumer has $16,000 in creditcard debt. But under the humor (yes,
there’s that, too) is a sound plan. She
tells you upfront that it’s going to be
