Today, we attended the funeral servic-es of a Faith Danielle Hedgepeth. The services were held in Hollister, NC, my tribal hometown, and like many family members, the services were held at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church. But the differ-ence in all the other funerals and this one, was that over 5,000 people came to pay their respects to this 19 year old. There were news cameras from several stations, and live feeds were happening as the funeral took place. Yes, it was quite a difference, and one that will not be ignored or forgotten.

You see, last Friday, my family and community experienced something that we never imagined. One of my daugh-ter’s friends, Faith Danielle Hedgepeth, was reportedly found dead in her apartment off campus of UNC.

My daughter had just gotten home from a business trip, and as the news feed began showing more infor-mation on Facebook, I rushed upstairs to her room and said, “Something is wrong with Faith!” My daughter, exhausted, was like What do you mean? I couldn’t speak. I didn’t know! But I said something is wrong.

A few minutes later, my daughter sent me a link on Facebook, and while I opened the article to read it, she came into my room, tears streaming down her beautiful face.

Faith had been Murdered.

In a moment that I should have jumped up and clung to my daughter, my head fell into my hands and I sobbed for al-most 1/2 an hour. This. Is. Not. Real.

How do you describe this feeling? The word murder - oh my God, even the word sounds evil and cruel. And that it is.

The details have yet to totally come out of her death - how she died, why, who did it, was it someone she knew, was it done in rage, was it a man or woman, was it planned, was it just a fluke - this and many more questions have arisen, with more questions than answers.

Faith was not just my daughter’s friend. She was one of all of our ba-bies! She was only 19, and befriended anyone who she met. She was from my tribe, Haliwa-Saponi, she was an active member of my tribal church, Mt. Beth-el Baptist, and she, like my daughter, was accepted into the Summer Bridge program at UNC to jump-start her col-

lege career. I remember my daughter’s joy when she learned another Haliwa was coming to UNC. Since Rachel was then a counselor for the Bridge pro-gram, she was able to mentor to Faith. She considered Faith her little sister. Faith expressed an interest in joining the Native American Sorority Alpha Pi Omega Sorority, Inc, and the week before her death, had actively been attending Founders week events on UNC’s campus, and was already con-sidered a family member to the Sisters of Alpha Pi Omega Sorority.

My daughter, along with the entire cam-pus of UNC, the Haliwa-Saponi com-munity, and all other parties that were touched by this angel, are just heartbro-

ken. We don’t have the answers yet to all those questions, but I do have some facts that everyone needs to know.

Faith was the kind of girl that when you met, you did not for-get her. Her heart was pure and full of love, her smile would melt anyone’s

heart. She was goofy, funny, and a praying child. She gave her life to God when she was just a child, and stayed rooted in her faith.

She was the baby to Roland and Con-nie Hedgepeth, and the baby sister to Rolanda and Chadwick. My cousin Jerry was her brother-in-law, but he and Rolanda were also like parents to her, because there was about a 20 year age difference. Jerry passed away 2 years ago. Chadwick had been part of my family for as many years, with him being an original member of Stoney Creek Drum.

Faith was a junior at UNC Chapel Hill. She was the recipient of the Gates Mil-lennium Scholarship and had received a full ride to obtain her education. It was her desire to become a doctor and bring that good medicine back to her hometown of Hollister, NC. She was a pow-wow dancer, a singer, a leader and a friend.

Breaking News: UNC Board of Trust-ees is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the slaying of Faith Danielle Hedgepeth.

Confidential calls can be made to the Chapel Hill police department’s tip line at (919) 614-6363 or the Chapel Hill- Carrboro-UNC Crime Stoppers at (919) 942-7515. Calls to Crime Stoppers are confidential. Read the full press release. #havefaith

Dear Editor,

With all the recent discus-sion and debate about the Constitutionality, or lack thereof, of all the massive amount of legislation com-ing out of DC, I was very excited to recently learn about an upcoming class and seminar on the U.S. Constitution. I have been telling everyone I know about it and someone sug-gested I write into the newspaper to inform even more people. The class is being offered by The Thomas Jefferson Center for Constitutional Restora-tion and is called “Restor-ing the Founder’s Dream”. The instructor is none other than Dr. Glenn Kimber who is world renowned Consti-

tutional Scholar, lecturer, and writer. He has written over 100 books related to the U.S. Constitution. All are welcome and the class is being held at Randolph Macon College (RMC) on Saturday 22, 2012. I would like to strongly encourage all elected representatives of any level and from any political party to attend. There is a nominal fee for the materials. For ad-ditional info please email [email protected]. Hope to see all of you there.

How to Fix Congress Billionaire Jimmy Buffett has an excellent idea on how to fix Congress. Only seven events have to happen: 1. No Tenure/No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security.3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.4. Congress can no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.5. Congress loses their cur-

rent health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Con-gressmen/women. THE ABOVE WOULD BE CALLED THE CONGRES-SIONAL REFORM ACT OF 2012. Wilma RoyerMechanicsville, VA 23111

If President Obama is hoping to fire up the youth vote, he’d better hope they don’t read the news. Friday’s jobs report showed that as bad as things are in general, they’re even worse for young workers. The unemployment rate for 16-to-19-year-olds jumped nearly a full point in August, to 24.6 percent. And for 20-to-24-year-old, it rose to 13.9 percent. Ap-parently, the only thing keep-ing young people’s hopes up these days is their illusions. A new survey by TD Ameritrade found that nearly 40 percent

of members of Generation Z, those aged 13 to 22, still expect to receive an inheritance. Real-ity check: with this economy, only 16 percent of parents think they’ll have anything to leave their children. Their kids’ only hope of an inheritance is if their parents die before they exhaust what little savings they have. So if your kids offer to help you down those steep stairs, just say, “No, thanks…I’m good.” Kenneth HawkMechanicsville, VA 23116

Our country has known freedom for the individual unlike any other country in history. Quite frankly, the idea was novel that people could govern themselves. In or-der for freedom to be sustained the masses had to be willing to act morally and lawfully by their own volition or else society would crumble from within. Thus wrote our second president John Adams: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the govern-ment of any other.” The Ten Com-mandments and the Sermon on the Mount were how we judged good and evil, right and wrong. Some of that still remains, but respect for those teachings and reverence for the God who spoke them is deterio-rating at a very rapid rate. In modern day America, there is very little shame anymore. Most Americans have lost their fear of God. We are on the road to self-destruction.Secularists mock the idea of God.

Judges forbid even the acknowl-edgement of God in many public places. We teach our children they come from monkeys. Those who hold to the biblical definition of marriage are called hate mongers. The entertainment industry pro-motes sex without moral standards day after day, movie after movie, song after song - influencing our youth beyond measure. Try to raise any objection to this tide of immo-rality and you are quickly shouted down, ridiculed, called a prude, a hater, a religious nut, a censor or a fundamentalist. What we are experiencing today in America is unbridled selfish-ness and licentiousness and the re-sults are manifesting themselves in many terrible ways that will only get worse if things don’t change.__________________________________________ Kenneth HawkMechanicsville, VA 23116

We are going to hear a lot about “reproductive choice” in the mainstream media this week as they cover the DNC Convention. We will be told that Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding should continue to increase and that its primary purpose is not abortion.

But we believe that the media should report the truth instead.

The facts are clear: Planned Par-enthood is the largest abortion business in America, and their “champion,” President Obama, is increasing the taxpayer dollars funneled to them.

The fact is that 51% of their

“clinic income” comes from abortion. And the vast majority of their clinic are in or near inner city neighborhoods.

Despite what we are going to hear this week, a majority of Americans oppose abortion and the VAST majority oppose the use of taxpayer dollars being used to fund abortions.

I am calling on the mainstream media to report the truth regard-ing the facts about the Obama ad-ministration and Planned Parent-hood’s abortion business.

I watched in total disbelief and dis-gust as the delegates of the Demo-crat National Convention booed the passage of adding God back into their platform.

The clear evidence is that America has forgotten our Biblical roots. Today, our country has displaced God as our foundation and re-placed him with human reason. The result is uncontrolled human passion, which will inevitably lead to self-destruction.

Despotic governments know that in order to lead people like robots, you must kill their spiritual free-dom. Based on what I witnessed, it appears to me that the Democrat-ic Party has successfully done that within their ranks. What a Shame!

This is President Obama’s grand vision for America. Since Obama took office in January 2009, five million “green” jobs were prom-ised, and as of 2010 225,000 had been created. 80% of the green loans, loan guarantees, and grants given out by Department of Ener-gy went to Obama backers: •SunPower, after receiving $1.5 billion from DOE, is reorganizing, cutting jobs. •First Solar, after receiving $1.46 billion from DOE, is reorganizing, cutting jobs. •Solyndra, after receiving $535 million from DOE, filed for bank-ruptcy protection. •Ener1, after receiving $118.5 million from DOE, filed for bank-ruptcy protection. •Evergreen Solar, after receiving millions of dollars from the state of Massachusetts, filed for bank-ruptcy protection.•SpectraWatt, backed by Intel and Goldman Sachs, filed for bank-ruptcy protection. •Beacon Power, after receiving $43 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection. •Abound Solar, after receiving $400 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection. •Amonix, after receiving $5.9 million from DOE, filed for bank-ruptcy protection.

•Babcock & Brown (an Australian company), after receiving $178 million from DOE, filed for bank-ruptcy protection. •A123 Systems, after receiving $279 million from DOE, shipped some bad batteries and is barely operating. It cut jobs. •Solar Trust for America, after re-ceiving a $2.1-billion loan guaran-tee from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.•Nevada Geothermal, after re-ceiving $98.5 million from DOE, warns of potential defaults in new SEC filings.That is only a partial list.If this all sounds eerily familiar, it should.Especially the part about how an elected politician is breaking a campaign promise to not raise taxes. Obama said he would lower taxes and is actually raising them. He will claim that circumstances change and American have to adapt to them.One similarity is inescapable. The excesses of the past are going to have to be paid. Thanks to the failed presidency of Obama, those excesses have grown dispropor-tionately larger.

Washington D.C. –Small business owners create the majority of new jobs in this country, but are still struggling to play their role as our primary job creators due to a lack of access to credit—something pro-posed legislation that would expand credit unions’ ability to lend to their members could help, according to a report released today by the R Street Institute and Small Business Major-ity. The report reviews challenges small businesses face in obtaining credit and outlines potential benefits the bipartisan legislation could have on their ability to access much-needed loans. The proposals currently on the table in Congress would allow credit unions to lend as much as 27.5 per-cent of their assets, up from 12.25 percent, and would free up $13 bil-lion in capital and create 140,000 jobs, according to the paper. “The current restrictions on credit union business lending are anti-small business and anti-jobs. Simple regulatory relief for credit unions will create thousands of new jobs at no cost to taxpayers,” said Eli Leh-rer, president of the R Street Institute and author of the paper. “Expanded credit union lending to small busi-nesses is exactly the medicine the economy needs right now. “ The vast majority of small business owners agree the availability of cred-it is a problem for small businesses, according to opinion polling released by Small Business Majority. Six in 10 small business owners polled said it’s harder to get a loan now than it was four years ago and another 60

percent have faced difficulty them-selves when trying to access loans so they could grow and hire. What’s more, 52 percent of those surveyed have turned to credit cards to finance their business. However, by a 2:1 ratio, small busi-nesses support increasing credit unions’ member business lending cap to 27.5 percent. “Loans that will help small busi-nesses grow and create jobs are harder and harder to come by,” said John Arensmeyer, founder and CEO of Small Business Majority. “With banks’ lending portfolios shrinking and small businesses’ dependence on credit cards growing, lawmakers need to look for smart ways to re-vamp the credit landscape.” To read the full report visit http://smallbusinessmajority.org/small-business-research/access-to-credit/ or http://rstreet.org/policy-study/small-business-credit-still-a-prob-lem.

The Virginia Department of Ag-riculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) is pleased to announce that five Virginia farmers’ markets were ranked in the Top 20 in “American’s Favorite Farmers’ Market Contest” sponsored by the American Farm-land Trust (AFT). Three of the five ranked in the Top 5 Markets. The nationwide contest pulled in thou-sands of votes – sometimes for a sin-gle market – from all over the country. Markets are cate-gorized by the n u m -ber of vendors at each a n d v o t e r s c o u l d vote for their favorite market in one of four categories: small, mid-sized, medi-um or large. Virginia’s winning markets include:· Small, 15 vendors or fewer: Stuart Farmers’ Market, Stuart - #12 (this market ranked #14 in 2011) and Vienna Saturday Farmers’ Market, Vienna - #17· Mid-sized, 16 to 35 vendors: Lakeside Farmers’ Market, Rich-mond - #2 (Lakeside ranked #3 in 2011)· Medium, 35 to 55 vendors: Williamsburg Farmers’ Market, Wil-liamsburg - #3 (it ranked #5 in 2011) and Falls Church Farmers’ Market,

Falls Church - #4 (ranked #3 in 2011) A list of the Top 20 markets is avail-able on the American Farmland Trust website at action.farmland.org/site/PageServer?pagename=top_20_americas_favorite_farmers_markets. “We love our farmers’ markets in Virginia,” said Matthew J. Lohr, VDACS Commissioner. “We have seen tremendous growth in the num-ber of markets, from 88 in 2005 to

227 and count-ing today. We also have seen dramatic growth in the number of our winter or year-round markets. A few years ago, we didn’t even count them, but last winter, we

had more than 70. Some of our mar-kets are among the oldest in the na-tion and some are among the newest. Because Virginia’s industry of agri-culture is so diverse, so are the offer-ings in our farmers’ markets.” Consumers can search for farmers’ markets by county, zip code or even products offered at VirginiaGrown.com.

We will continue our quest to identify a home that honors the Lord based on an article written by Focus on the Family titled “How do you create a Christ-centered home?” In previous parenting articles we have learned that joy, orderliness, grace and kind-ness are all attributes we should have in our homes. The next item on our checklist is “Spiri-tual Disciplines”. “A Christ-centered home provides an environment in which every member of the family learns how to live by study-ing Scripture, pray-ing and spending time in God’s pres-ence”. This is accomplished by be-ing faithful to a growing and living Bible believing and teaching church. 1 John 1:7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. Further, every home should focus on the importance of knowing and being familiar and com-

fortable with God’s Word. 2 Timo-thy 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to pre-pare and equip his people to do every good work. Prayer is the third essen-

tial of the spiritual disci-plines we want to have in our home. 1 Thessa-lonians 5:17 Never stop praying. God instructed Moses after He gave Him the Ten Commandments to instruct the people to “Teach them to your chil-dren. Talk about them when you are at home

and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. 20 Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, (Deuteronomy 11:19-20).”

The GRASP program at KWHS is made possible through King William Delegate Chris Peace, who believes that an education is key to a prosper-ous future and wants to invest in the county’s best and brightest. Due to funding provided by a donation from the Friends of Chris Peace, GRASP’s services will be available at no charge to KWHS students and their families.

GRASP advisors also are in high schools in Hanover, Charles City and New Kent Counties as well as 64 other schools and venues through-out Virginia. More information about GRASP can be found at www.grasp-4virginia.com.

Local Church Donates School SuppliesBy Sheila Carr, Director of Special Programs

King William County Public Schools gratefully accepts the generous donation of school supplies offered by Mr. Mickens of Ephesus Baptist Church in West Point, VA. This is the second time this church group has provided much needed school sup-plies to our students. We will be sure they get to the neediest families.

For Immediate ReleaseContact: David Price, Mike EmbreyAugust 28, 2012

King William Public Schools partici-pates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Break-fast Program (SBP). Meals served fol-low the new USDA guidelines of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2012 (HHFKA). Free or reduced price meals are offered to students identified as eli-gible for financial assistance or for fam-ilies receiving SNAP or TANF through the King William Department of Social Services.

The HHFKA has in-troduced a new meal pattern to encourage students to eat more vegetables and fruits. Students are required to have a ½-cup serv-ing of fruits or veg-etables on their tray each day, and may take an additional ½-cup serving for no additional charge. Vegetable offerings are separated into five sub-groups, one must be offered each day of the week. The groups are

dark green, red/orange, beans/peas (le-gumes), starchy and other - vegetables that do not fit in the previous groups. All breads and grains require a minimum of 50% whole grain and milk must be fat-

free or 1% low fat (unflavored).

Another provi-sion of the HHF-KA is a mandate to increase meal pricing until the amount equals what USDA pays for a free-eligi-

ble student. All local school districts have increased the price of paid meals. The meal rate for a paid meal in King William this year is $2.15.

Our Information Technology Depart-ment has also made improvements to eliminate the amount of PIN numbers a student must know. Students will now use one 5-digit number for testing, meals and in the Media center. The new num-ber appears on each students’ schedule and all teachers have copies of the new numbers. The new student numbers are also available from School administra-tion or the Food Service office.

Complete information on the menu changes may be found at www.tray-talk.org. Parents may also contact the schools at 804-769-3434 for additional information.

Suzi SherMan, Cool Spring eduCator, naMed teaCher oF the Year

Teaching is not just a job for Suzi Sherman, it’s a dream fulfilled. It’s also a passion that has driven her to devote her time and energy to making a dif-ference in the lives of children. A second grade teacher at King William County’s Cool Spring Primary School, Sherman was selected by her col-leagues as county Teacher of the Year. In that role, she will represent King William in the Virginia Teacher of the Year selection process.Sherman didn’t start her professional career as a teacher. She earned a B.S. in Sociology and Psychology from VCU. Aware of the changing demo-graphics in America, and the value of expertise in the needs of senior citi-zens, she also earned an M.S. in Gerontology/Adult Education at MCV. But the sense that this was not her calling drove her to return to school to earn her teaching license.She joined the faculty at Cool Spring Primary School seven years ago, and hit the ground running. Sherman’s passion for teaching brings with it the belief that every child can learn. In her classroom that means every child WILL learn. Her philosophy is simple: the teacher is only successful if the students have learned what was taught. If one approach does not work, she tries another and another until she finds the key to unlock each student’s potential. This dedication is what makes her students so successful and what inspired her colleagues to select her as their Teacher of the Year.

The Legislative Review From the Office of Representative Charles GrahamSeptember 6, 2012 This week’s newsletter is an abbre-

viated one. I will try to follow up next week with information con-cerning developments and events in Raleigh that may be of interest to you. As you may have heard or read, this coming week, September 9 -15, has been designated as Firefighters Week in North Carolina for 2012. This designation was made possible by a resolution I was proud to spon-sor in the 2011-2012 Session of the North Carolina General Assembly. Following is House Resolution 715 in its entirety: A HOUSE RESOLUTION EN-COURAGING THE CITIZENS OF NORTH CAROLINA TO OB-SERVE FIREFIGHTERS WEEK IN NORTH CAROLINA Whereas, fighting fires is one of the most hazardous professions, re-quiring physical strength, stamina, extensive training, courage, and selfless concern for the welfare of others; and Whereas, firefighters provide valuable services to the citizens of North Carolina, their communities, and the State; and Whereas, firefighters make sac-rifices to protect the lives and finan-cial interests of the citizens of North Carolina; and

Whereas, firefighters respond to emergencies without hesitation when the call of duty arises; and Whereas, firefighters work with public safety officials and law en-forcement officers to protect the integrity of crime scenes, which is necessary to resolve arson cases; and Whereas, firefighters reside in the community in which they serve and have a great appreciation for pro-tecting their communities; and Whereas, it is appropriate to rec-ognize the duties and services that firefighters perform by observing Firefighters Week in North Caro-lina; Now, thereforeBe it resolved by the House of Rep-resentatives: SECTION 1. The House of Representatives believes that all firefighters deserve to be honored for the invaluable service they pro-vide to the State, its citizens, and communities. SECTION 2. The House of Representatives encourages the citizens of this State to observe the week in September of each year con-taining September 11 as Firefighters Week in North Carolina. SECTION 3. This resolution is effective upon adoption. I hope that we can all let our fire-fighters, both volunteers and profes-

sionals, know how much we appre-ciate all that they do for all of us. Since schools are open again for the 2012-2013 school year, please be es-pecially careful in school zones and around bus stops where students are waiting for buses. And remember to pay close attention to school buses. Our children are our most treasured resource, and we want them to be safe. Please remember that you can lis-ten to each day’s session, commit-tee meetings, and press conferences on the General Assembly’s website at www.ncleg.net. Once on the site, select “Audio,” and then make your selection – House Chamber, Sen-ate Chamber, Appropriations Com-mittee Room or Press Conference Room.I do consider it an honor and a priv-ilege to serve as your voice in the North Carolina House of Represen-tatives. Please feel free to contact my office with your questions, con-cerns, and comments.

Fall Fun iS JuSt a CliCK aWaY

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) wants all Virginians to know that fall fun is just a click away. Through the interactive features of its website VirginiaGrown.com and at vdacs.vir-ginia.gov/news/c-tourism.shtml, con-sumers can find pick-your-own farms, farm museums, historic homes, farmers’ markets, wineries, events, festivals and vacations. “The choices for a day or week-end trip or a full vacation are bound-less,” said Matthew J. Lohr, VDACS Commissioner. “People can pick pump-kins or apples, attend a harvest festival, tour historic agricultural sites such as Mount Vernon or the (Cyrus) McCor-mick Farm, go horseback riding or learn to fly fish. You can even go agcaching, a form of geocaching, at several loca-

tions.” (See agtually.com/agcache-geo-caching/ for agcaching sites.) A quick tour of the state’s agrito-urism (i.e. agricultural tourism) attrac-tions includes the following types of activities and more: · Pick-your-own farms for pumpkins, apples, peaches and other products· Hay or corn mazes, hay bale mazes for pre-schoolers or mini pumpkin maz-es· Thanksgiving weekends that include cooking classes plus the feast itself· Corn cannons, pumpkin blasters and apple launchers· Afternoon tea· Horseback riding· Panning for gold· Hayrides and wagon rides· Cow trains· Goat walks (aerial antics from these sure-footed creatures)· The Virginia Carousel featuring fa-mous Virginians and Virginia agricul-

tural products· Tube slides· Concessions including hot dogs, bar-beque, nachos, popcorn and kettle corn, candy, apples and drinks, including sea-sonal hot spiced cider· Farm animals· Big equipment· Picnic areas and bonfires· Pumpkin hunts and pumpkin painting· In-season products for sale including apples, Indian corn, cider, honey, pump-kins, mums, fall decorations, jellies, preserves, relishes, holiday decorations and more· Museums of tractors, antique farm equipment, antique toys, even lawn mowers· Pedal cars to ride through the corn fields or corn maze· Special events that range from food festivals to competitions, sorghum mak-ing, trail rides, harvest and threshing demonstrations· Find many more suggestions at vdacs.virginia.gov/news/c-tourism.shtml.

“Agritourism is important to us at VDACS for many reasons,” said Lohr. “It’s a good way for small farmers to make a living at farming or for larger ones to diversify their operations. It can provide economic benefits to rural com-munities by bringing in visitors and cre-ating new jobs. It keeps food dollars in the community and, let’s face it, it’s just fun. I encourage all Virginians to cel-ebrate fall at an agritourism farm.” Elaine LidholmDirector of CommunicationsVirginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services102 Governor StreetRichmond VA 23219804.786.7686

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL

Time: 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10Location: The Pit

CALL THE TIP-LINE

If you have any information, call po-lice at 919-614-6363.

A 19-year-old UNC student was found dead in her apartment Friday morning in what Chapel Hill police are investigating as a homicide.

Faith Danielle Hedgepeth, a biology major from Warrenton, was found by friends in her apartment off Old Cha-pel Hill Road around 11 a.m. Friday.

She was less than three weeks shy of her 20th birthday.

Chapel Hill police don’t believe the slaying was random. But as of Sun-day night, no arrests or suspects had been announced in the case.

A cause of death also has not been released.

Chapel Hill police have established a tip line for anyone with information about Hedgepeth’s death.

Callers who provide information that leads to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward up to $2,000.

In the days following Hedgepeth’s sudden death, both Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt and UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp released statements to the community.

“In times of disasters and tragic loss-es, our community comes together to grieve,” Kleinschmidt said.

Involvement on campus

Hedgepeth was part of the Haliwa-Saponi American Indian Tribe in Warren County.

She remained heavily involved in Native American culture after com-ing to UNC, becoming active in the UNC American Indian Center during her freshman year.

She also sang with Unheard Voices, the American Indian a cappella group at UNC, was a member of the Caro-lina Indian Circle and worked at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers in Durham.

“Faith became very active in the cul-ture here,” said Brandi Brooks, pro-

gram coordinator for the American Indian Center.

“I remember meeting her here her freshman year. She became active that day.”

At the center on Saturday, Brooks and dozens of other staff and stu-dents mourned the loss of a friend they said was bright, beautiful and kind.

A blue ribbon was hung on the cen-ter’s door in her memory.“Faith was quiet, but very spunky,” Brooks said. “I think of her smiling, very friendly. She was quiet until you got to know her.”

Hedgepeth came to UNC on a Gates Millennium Scholarship.

“She deserved it more than anyone I knew,” said Leslie Locklear, presi-dent of Alpha Pi Omega and a friend of Hedgepeth’s. “She was dedicated and determined and always worked hard to make her dreams come true.”

Hedgepeth also received an Alston-Pleasants Scholarship from UNC. She spoke of someday becoming a physician.

Hedgepeth attended rush events for Alpha Pi Omega last week. She had expressed interest in joining the so-rority, Locklear said in an email.

“Faith meant a lot to us,” she said. “She was a sweet and kindhearted woman who we hoped we could one day call a sister.”

Amy Locklear Hertel, director of the American Indian Center, said she saw Hedgepeth last on Tuesday.

“She looked like she was happy to be among friends,” she said. “That’s what I’ll take away from this.”

Tonight, Alpha Pi Omega will hold a candlelight vigil at 8 p.m. in the Pit in Hedgepeth’s memory.

“We as a sisterhood felt that we should take immediate action to show the larger UNC campus just how much she meant to us,” Lock-lear said.

It is still unbelievableThis doesn’t make sense

How you could just be gone like thisFlabbergasted. Speechless. Dense.

For those that didn’t know youAnd ask about who you wereHow do you describe an angel

Whose smile would light up the world?

No matter the situationYou made it all seem light

With your wit, your smile, your humorThat would make it all seem alright.

You made several right choicesTo improve the life for all

You impacted more folks than imagin-able

And was the first to stand up when called.

They did an honor song for you today at Coharie

They say it lasted almost an hourThe jingle dress dancers danced the

entire time.Some falling out from despair.

The folks in Hollister are brokenThey are searching for answers and

asking why?There are many prayer vigils

planned…Where we can love each other, laugh

together and cry.

No matter the reason you leftYou left us way too soon

You always made us feel betterThe way you danced to your own tune.

You were a Haliwa-Saponi, a Tarheel,A sister, daughter, cousin, aunt and

friendWe all will be in debt to you

For your memory with us will never end.

We will love you forever, Faith.Our communities are eternally changed

But there is a brighter star in heaven tonight

And when we pray, we’ll hear the whisper of your name.

Rest easy baby girl—

Dedicated to Faith Danielle Hedgepeth….

You Gotta Have Faith

At the prayer vigil on Sunday night held in Hollister, over $2,000 was raised to assist the search for the killer of Faith Hedgepeth. Over 100 people were expected to come to the Haliwa-Saponi Tribal Charter School; over 1,000 showed up. It was a tremendous coming together of community and the beginning of many gatherings to assist in the healing of this tragic loss. In the photo above, during the candlelight vigil, bal-loons were released into the night sky.All photos were taken from FACE-BOOK. As you can tell, Faith was very much full of life, love and laughter. Her final resting place is adorned with a vast blessing of flower arrangements.

Rest in peace, baby girl. Your work here is done. by a. kay oxendine
