Even if you don’t listen to rap music, there’s a good ehance that you know 50 was a former drug dealer who was shot nine times and lived to ‘tell the tale. A burgeoning music artist, from the very beginning of his rap career 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) built a name for himself by getting into feuds with other more established rap stars. That formula, along with America’s continued fascination with hip hop culture, has made 50 Cent into one of the biggest rap music superstars in the world. ° Whether it’s selling his own albums, producing other artists, creating controversy, or hawking his G-unit clothing line, the name 50 Cent is forever emblazoned in the public’s mind. And now comes what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of this year. This weekend, the story of 50 Cent’s rise to gees fortune comes to the big screen in the form of the Paramount Pictures release Get Rich or. te Tryin’. : _ \ ,Six-time Oscar-nominated Jim Sheridan brings to life the story of an orphaned street kid who makes his mark in the drug world, only to leave that environment behind in favor of establishing himself as a Tapper. For the film, art imitates life — much as it does in 50’s top-selling records. : The movie parallels Jackson’s own life, in which Marcus (50 Cent) always knew he was going to be — a rapper. When his mother is murdered, he turns to selling drugs to make ends meet. Thanks to some influential people in his life — including his grandmother (Viola Davis), Marcus becomes grounded and is able to maintain some sanity as his world begins to spiral out of control. : Living in a virtual hell of his own making, a tragedy that nearly kills him forces Jackson to turn his life around for the better. But before you think that Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is completely a copy of 50 Cent’s real life, think again. According to the rapper, the movie is a story that is centered around incidents similar to some of those that happened to him in real life. 50 Cent burst onto the scene when his debut. album, also titled Get Rich or Die Tryin’ , set the record for the all-time best debut with 900,000 units sold in its first week. Subsequently, the project went on the be certified six-times platinum. His follow-up album The Massacre debuted at number one and ~ Went on to sell four million units to date. With The Massacre, 50 Cent became the first artist to have four songs in the top ten of Billboard’s Hot 100 since the Beatles in 1964. For the movie, director Sheridan (My Left Foot, In America ) views the ultimate story as being one that runs to a deeper level. Center to the story for him is that the characters all face enormous chal- lenges — including illness, poverty, and racial bigotry. For him, the movie is more about the whys in life: Why, there are more single mothers in the Black community than any other community in America. Why is rap music the way it is? Why was Marcus forced to do what he had to do? Producers wanted Sheridan for the job because he understands the concept of struggle — whether it struggling in Jamaica, Queens or the Bronx - or in the tougher districts of different colors, but the struggles of trouble, despair, and violence is the same everywhere. Terence Winter (The Sopranos) wrote the script for the movie. Producers felt the two-time Emmy winner for the HBO meb series was most appropriate for the job, considering the parallels between the Italian gangsta world and the urban gangsta culture. The result was a gritty dramatic screenplay about a young maii’s survival in a world against him. The film’s main producer Chris Lighty says the movie’s title says it all. For the movie makers, Get - 2. i. 4 lg, Rich or Die Tryin’ is all about the universal need to en and Pp reventin qun ‘ats ragé arinking live the good life.

This is just 50’s version of it. -: For 50, his.plunge inte the drug trade started after his... mother’s death. He went to stay with his grandparents, who did what they could to keep him on the straight and narrow. “But I didn’t feel like I was where I should be at, so I turned to the people that appeared to have it all with no problem,” says the rapper. “They were people from my mother’s life — from when she used to hustle. And they would look out for me, and do things for me. So that’s how I started. They were helping me to provide for myself.” . . 50 Cent says it was the birth of his son that changed his life. aq 66 p, 99 Once he was born, his priorities changed.

L~ ee Singing is a very personal art form. An instrumentalist has to deal with, and touch, other . objects—a violin, a piano, etc. However, singers are the object of the art, and singing is the most personal way to express it. It is you, and you are it. The breath that is involved with singing is a technical thing. It is part of the training that helps to produce the voice in the best form possible. But breath, in terms of the Spirit of God, is really about the sense I get of being in the hands of God when I sing. I really do feel I am in touch with something much higher than myself, and much higher than the performance I am Edgecombe cont... . . In major crimes, we have a one unsolved homicides, 100% clearance rate in rapes and statutory offenses, 88 % clearance rate in armed robberies and a 30% clearance rate in breaking/entering and burglaries.’ The detective division has recovered for Edgecombe and surrounding counties in excess of $900,000 worth of property. Along with searches and search warrants, the narcotics division has made 200 arrests involving 250 drug charges. The Narcotics Division has been busy training and is preparing to gear up for the continuing fight on drugs. We hope to see the number of drug . arrests and charges increase over the next year. There are 53 detention officers and supervisors and two public health nurses assigned to the detention facility. The average daily inmate population managed by detention personnel is 230. The number of federal-inmates being housed in.the Edgecombe County Detention Center increased to 100. We have collected $1,397,280 in revenue from January 2004 to April 2005 for housing federal and state inmates. A new computer system has been added in the detention center that monitors inmates’ telephone calls (the system advises them that the calls may be monitored). With this system in place, we have cleared several cases and have recovered stolen property. . An additional CAD workstation has been added to Telecommunica- tions. This workstation will serve ad backup if one of existing stations becomes inoperable. It will be manned in the event the Emergency Operations Center is activated. Through grant funds and match- ing funds from the county, we have continued our quest to technologi- cally outfit the Edgecombe C ounty Sheriff's Office with state of the art equipment. We have continued to upgrade our computerized records management system, added five additional Mobile Data Terminal (MDT’s) to patrol vehicles, equipped each patrol vehicle with cages, purchased additional digital cameras, bulletproof vests and further updated our catalog of surveillance equipment. The Sheriff's Office has two K-9 Units. With drugs being a major concem within the county and abroad, the K-9 units will be used to assist in searches and executing search warrants. Courthouse security has been tightened with the hiring of two additional deputies that serve as courthouse security. An X-ray machine was donated to the sheriff's office by the federal government, which is in full Operation at the courthouse along with a metal detector, We have implemented and equipped a MIRT Team that will respond to natural disasters when requested by other agencies to assist with manpower needs. This past year has been a year of extensive training for the Sheriff's Office, especially with the SRT Team. We hope to use this renewed knowledge to better serve the citizens of Edgecombe County.

I have to have that moment beforeIgo onstage, because I will not go out without letting God know I need his strength. One night, I was supposed to perform, and | was very ill. This happened in Dallas. It was the opening of the wonderful new hall there, in 1989. My recital was supposed to - be the first one held there, As always, I took time to pray ’ before, and somehow I was able _ to get to the stage. I leaned on the piano because I was very weak and ill, and I prayed silently after each note, as if saying to God, “It’s really not up to me alone; It’s up to you and me.” J will always remember that night, because I probably did the best singing I have-ever done. With every note, I felt'God’s presence. After the performance, I was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with diverticulitis. I think all artists are vessels and we are guided in the way we express our art. I feel so grateful to. God that He gave me the gift of being able to'sing. I cannot _ believe that any artist does not acknowledge that his or her art was a gift from God.

Whenever I sang the Requiem, my own experiences atid my total belief in the omnipo- tent merged so completely. Conductors have told me it seemed as if I were having an out- of-body experience when I sang it—that I was someplace else, though of course, always in the music, but outside the notes, In every. performance I have ever done of Verdi’s Requiem, it felt as if God wrote every flote. ‘Excerpted from Inspired: The .

Tuskegee’s Real Founder N Lewis Adams was born to a slave woman (Black) and a white planter named Jesse Adams in Macon County, Alabama. He was, for his time a privileged Black. man. His father took him to live in the main house on the planta- tion, but he was not allowed to attend classes. He never received any formal educations but he studied mathematics and learned to read and write English, French, _ German, and Spanish from books _ that belonged to his White ' brothers and sisters. He also understood that pratical skills are » Valuable and he learned the trades _ Of blacksmith, tinsmith, harness maker and shoemaker. After the Civil War, Adams married a local woman and moved into a house that his father gave him. He plied his trades in a small shop nearby and by the late 1870’s there was hardly a household in Macon County that did not contain a pot, pan, shoe or tin roof made by him. Adams provided work for several Black Carpenters who were hired to roof local businesses, and he taught his skills to many young African- American men. | , He was a member of AME Zion Church where he taught Sunday _ School to his 16 children as welll as those who had attended church. There was a shortage of teachers because Tuskegee was a farm community. However, Adams was determined to provide an educa- tion for Black children so in his Sunday school besides réligion, he also taught the three r’s: reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic. Still he wanted more for Black people. White children in Tuskegee had decent and well-kept schools to go to; Blacks (children and adults) had to travel elsewhere for a decent education. Apparently Adams believed that the state senate and house elections would usher in an era of change. The Democrats were in trouble and Wilbur Foster, the Macon County Democratic Committee chairman and a former confederate officer was in danger of losing his seat in the Alabama Senate. Adams knew that Black voters outnum- bered White voters three to one in the Macon County. So when Foster approached him about Black support in the county, Adams struck a deal. When Foster asked Adams, “What would you want for securing the Black vote for me?” Instead of asking for money, Adams told Foster that he wanted an educational institu- tion for his people. Nominations for the 2005 Citizen of the Year - November 2005 The Chamber is now seeking nominations for the 2005 Citizen of the Year. Citizens and Chamber members are encour- aged to nominate persons they feel are deserving of this recogni- tion. The Greenville-Pitt County Chamber of Commerce annually presents its CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD to honor a man or woman who has made signifi- cant contribution to the Greenville-Pitt County commu- nity. Presented at the Chamber’s Annual Membership Celebration, the award represents a prestigious recognition:by the community of the recipient’s commitment and dedication to the advancement of the Greenville area. To be considered for the award. the nominee should be someone who enjoys a reputation for contimuous community service in areas such as civic involvement, By: Yussuf J. Simmonds & Dr. Brenda Flanagan Another politician, Arthur L. Brooks, a local newspaper . publisher, was also in jeopardy of losing his seat in the House of Representatives and went to Adams for the Black vote. As with Foster, Adams wanted money for an educational center for Black people. Foster and Brooks both won their seats with solid backing from the Blacks in Macon County and Brooks introduced a bill to fund a college for Blacks shortly he réttimed to office. In February 1881, Rufus W. Cobb, the gover- nor of Alabama, signed a law appropriating $2,000. a year for a school for Black teachers. It was called Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and it was administered by three commis- -Sioners — two Whites and a Black, Lewis Adams. On the recommen- dation of General Samuel Armstrong of Hampton Institute, and the good reputation of Lewis Adams, Booker T. Washington got the nod and was appointed to the helm. In his autobiography, Up From Slavery, ‘Washington said the following about Adams, “I’ve always felt that Mr. Adams, in a large degree, derived his unusual power of mind from training given his hands in the process of mastering well three trades during the days of slavery.” Lewis Adams taught classes at Tuskegee for many years. Had he not understood, early on, the need for higher education for Blacks and had he not finally understood the potential strength of the Black vote, there might never have been a Tuskegee University. He died in church on a Sunday at 63 years old. quality of life improvement, support of business and economic development and humanitarian issues. Nomination forms are available at the Chamber office and must be submitted by January 6, 2006. the award will be presented at the - Annual Membership Celebration, to be held on January 26, 2006.
