Arrest made in Kirsten Wolcott's murder, was serving as a Student Missionary

COLLEGEDALE, Tenn. (WTVC-TV) - A Southern Adventist University student has been murdered while on a student mission project in the state of Yap in Micronesia.

A spokesperson for Southern Adventist, in Collegedale, confirms that Kirsten Wolcott, a junior liberal arts education major, was killed on Wednesday. According to the Adventist News Network, she had reportedly gone jogging by herself before morning classes and did not return.

The publication also reports that an arrest has been made in the case, but no further details were available.

"This is devastating news, not only for the family but for the school and the Adventist Church," said Homer Trecartin, associate secretary for the Adventist world church and director of Adventist Volunteer Service.

"Throughout the history of the church many have made the sacrifice to go serve and some have paid with their lives," Trecartin said. "Our prayer is that God will raise other people to finish the work that Kirsten and others started."

Ms. Wolcott, originally from the Richmond, Virginia area, was teaching second grade at the Yap Adventist School.

Wolcott was on Southern Adventist University’s distinguished dean’s list. She was also known for her love of music and running. She played the harp and piano and sang in Bel Canto, Southern’s women’s chorus.

In a statement a Southern Adventist spokesperson said, "Southern is profoundly saddened by the loss of Kirsten Wolcott. At a painful time such as this, we remember in prayer Kirsten's parents, friends, fellow Student Missionaries, and all on our campus who knew and loved her well."

The school is providing counseling services for fellow students and have set up a special web site in memory of Ms. Wolcott. They have also set up a table in the Campus Ministries area of the student center where people can leave notes and remembrances.

The public can leave messages of condolence HERE.

Yap SDA School opened in 1987 as an elementary school and subsequently expanded to a kindergarten through 12th-grade school. The school is run mostly by Adventist college students volunteering as teachers. About 10 student missionaries are serving this year in Yap, Trecartin said. Teachers live in apartments on campus.

Yap, about 16 miles long and four miles wide, is one of four island states of the nation of Micronesia, a U.S. protectorate.COLLEGEDALE, Tenn. (WTVC-TV) - A Southern Adventist University student has been... more

Young Buck Wants Back In G-Unit

By Lord Michael Chambers Rosenthorn “If me and your homeboy can come to conclusions then they can get another album out of me.”

Since the fallout of Buck with G-Unit, the Tennessee native has been on his music hustle and has been grinding out for the streets on the mixtape circuit. Regardless of his evident potential, nothing seems to matter as his heavy grind has not been able to iron out his issues with 50 Cent and has not been able to release another album.

Calling into DJ Whoo Kid's radio station during Kid's birthday, Buck spoke on the past and the hope to find a way to reconcile their differences and move on to future endeavors.

“At the end of the day, it was really all a misunderstanding from the beginning with me and the 50 cent situation. It just was no communication to get anywhere…He took his actions and did what he had to do with it. It is what it is, my nigga, but if there's room for a nigga to make something work, I would be less of a man to not be open to it. I'm bout making money.”

Buck has been able to survive the storm and has stated that he may have come out with cuts and bruises, but pain is necessary for growth as he has come back even stronger and much smarter than he was as it relates to the actual music as well as the business aspect.

“This ain't the same Buck that you seen 3 or 4 years ago. My mind is better, my physical shit is on. Everything is together my nigga. I came in this game to be in this game long term. I didn't come in to come and go.”

Although he has no qualms with his former group, Buck stated his preference to continue on his own as he was not able to be himself while in the group. His mixtapes and glimpses in his second album Buck The World, show a different side to the rapper and the fact that he may not have fit into the mold, which also made him a standout in the group.

It is necessary, however, that 50 and Buck has an actual one-on-one with another face to face and discontinue the discussions over the phone.

“In certain situations, I feel like I'm right and he's wrong and vice versa. We just need to have a real nigga conversation face to face. This phone shit don't work. I don't mind coming to a nigga and looking a nigga in his eye.”

As time has progressed, the beef on wax has trickled down to reality with the recent escalation of violence among the youth, particularly the Black community. Accept it or reject it, Hip-Hop is becoming the role model so instances such as these to make peace should not be taken for granted.By Lord Michael Chambers Rosenthorn “If me and your homeboy can come to... more
