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 

197 , where she taught at Handley 

High school for 33 years as an 

Earth Science teacher before retiring 

in 000. 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 

other words what would you like 

to have finished or at least have 

gotten started? 

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

I’ll stick around for another four

SHEDDING WEIGHT. 

SHEDDING MEDICINE. 

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.

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: This is my last question and 

it should be an easy one. What’s 

your favorite hobby or interest? 

Shull: I give a great deal of my 

time to my church. I’m an elder in 

the church and a treasurer at the 

church. I take a Bible study that’s 

there, so a good bit of my free 

time is donated to the church. 

Davis: What church is it? 

Shull: The Sherando Presbyterian 

Church. I also have dog I devote 

the rest of my time to. She demands 

that she goes for a walk 

twice a day. 

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 

time to devote to whatever needs 

to be done. 

Davis: Thanks for chatting with 

us today.

Schools 

Struggle against a $3 million shortfall ends 

2010-2011 school year budget is approved 

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. 

By Brandon Davis 

The Sherando Time 

On April 0th the School Board 

unanimously approved the 010- 

011 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 




were made earlier this year to 

close in the gap. This included a 

loss of 39 full time employee positions, 

a 1.5 percent pay reduction, 

a 10 percent cut in instructional

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, “$53,91 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

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 

$1 3.7 million of that total 

alone. In 010 the school operating 

costs were reduced by $3.9 

million and an additional $7.6 

million reduction will be dealt in 

011. On top of that the county 

schools are still facing increases 

in student enrollment with 50 

more students expected next year 

than in 009.

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.

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

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 9-1 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 9-1 earn 

one semester elective physical 

education credit, as well as one 

semester elective social studies 

credit. 

Students in grades 7-1 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 0 

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 3 ” 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 Two Seeds 

The Rise of Islam 

America was founded on Christian principles which are being 

destroyed on all fronts. God warned that if we abandoned 

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. 

We are the Northern Va. Church of God, part of the Churches 

of God and for over 70 years have warned of these last days. 

We teach God’s laws, His Sabbaths & Holy days, 

keeping them as the early Church and Apostles did.

Diversions 




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. 

KFWS • MindGym 

April 26, 2010 

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.

Straight Talk About Debt 

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,

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
