As the moment our ancestors decided to evolve and to promote themselves to a higher superior species, ritual becomes an essential part of human life. Yet, the majority of people comply with these practices regardless of the nature or the fundamental roots of them, whether it is benevolent or malevolent.

If neighborhoods with such amenities as beautiful public parks and community centers could be filled with crime, what else could be happening in our town? That a town like ours, once known as a hidden gem of the upstate New York area (with a prestigious university to boot), has suddenly become enveloped in drugs,…

come to Ballaghaderreen which is a small town on the Mayo/ Roscommon border.

Flat Head Café serves a high population of Native Americans and the percentage of them who are diagnosed with diabetes has reached epidemic proportions. Our customers wanted to reverse those numbers. We took notice, and we made a change. The first thing we did was revise the menu to meet the needs of our diabetic population. We added a diabetic menu with 11 meal options along with…

the U.S. population are growing in size and influence (nacme.org). Growing up in a small town, with primarily Caucasians, can really be intimidating, as most minorities are looked down upon as going nowhere and having no goals coming from a small town.
