Gang Mills (WENY): Tragedy
GANG MILLS (WENY) - For the past 14 years, September 11 is the day we remember a tragedy that struck the world and the people that were there to help.

Friday, local memorial for surrounding counties was opened as a place to honor and remember those who run towards chaos when everyone is running away. As a way to recognized and honor those who put our lives before their own a First Responders Honor Park was built in Gang Mills. "It was 14 years ago today that first responders really got their message out in a way we really don't like to think about," explains Co-Chair for the First Responsers Honor Park Committee, Ernie Danforth.

Those on the park committee, started a tradition to name a tri-county first responder of the year. This year the award went to retired New York State Police Sergeant Michael Case, who worked for the State Police for 32 years. "I really hope that I'm not the first one that received this award that didn't have to die in the line of duty. I'm hoping that in this tri-county area it's survivors who receive the award and that we don't have any deaths," says Sgt. Case. …show more content…
The Tri-County park is sponsored by Chemung, Steuben and Schuyler Counties and was funded by donations from the community. "We want them to think about the first responders as the people that are there for them when they need it. That they are willing to put their lives on the line to save our lives, our property, whatever," says

    Summary: Gangs Of New York

    In the 2002 Film “Gangs of New York” by Martin Scorsese we see New York City reshaped and changed through cultural influence of feuding individuals and groups with different ideas. On the surface the movie seems to have a straight forward theme but in the back ground we see a cultural shift as immigrants come into America and New York City. In the movie we see the political influence during that time in history, and we see social status and classes defined by material possessions such as clothing and other belongings. The movie shows the feud between two gangs who fight for dominance of the five points based off who was born in the country…

    Gang Leader For A Day Essay

    Sometimes I believe that we as people, specifically college students, forget how lucky we actually are. My eyes were opened up to this upon reading Sudhir Venkatesh’s remarkable story entitled Gang Leader for a Day. Through this novel, which I really enjoyed, I found myself going through an array of emotions. If I could pick one word to best describe the novel it would be a rollercoaster. At points I would laugh hysterically, while at other times I felt sorry for people, constantly my feelings going up and down. Personally I believe that Sudhir did an excellent job with his book along with the research that he conducted. Sudhir was able to grasp me and almost made me feel like I was in his shoes, as part of the gang. Just as Sudhir states…
