Combining columns from query

I have a Table that contains two fields, Name and Status.

Each record can contain identical entries for Name and Status, i.e.

Name Status
Person1 1
Person1 2
Person1 1
Person1 3
Person2 1
Person2 3
Person3 1

After the query, I need the following output:

Name Count (where Status = 1 or 3)
Person1 3
Person2 2
Person3 1

Is such a query possible?

So far the best I have is:

SELECT Name, Status, COUNT(*) AS Count
FROM Table
GROUP BY Name, Status
HAVING (Status IN (1,3))
ORDER BY Name

But this query produces:

Name Status Count (where Status = 1 or 3)
Person1 1 2
Person1 3 1
Person2 1 1
Person2 3 1
Person3 1 1

Any ideas?
