Customers rude words prompt Taunton restaurant to speak out

When one of their employees had to deal with rude words from a customer on the phone, the owners at Los Jefes: Comida responded with support for their employee, and a politely worded Facebook post.

Los Jefes owners Nikki and Eduard Miralrio made it clear that bad treatment of their staff will not be tolerated.

Their staff are glad of the support, and the community is responding as well; Donna Whitehead has the story here.

'Female Preacher,' labor leader gets gravestone after 180 years

After more than 180 years, Raynham's Salome Lincoln Mowry, who led an early labor demonstration in Taunton, and drew thousands from all over New England to hear her preach, has a gravestone.

Until now, her grave in Pleasant View Cemetery in Tiverton, Rhode Island, did not have a marker indicating who this impressive woman was.

Thanks to her descendants, as well as help from Ron Helger of Tiverton, and Albanese Monuments of Westport, that has now changed.
