May it in Police Chief Charles Caruso, who's retiring, was honored at last night's Town Council meeting. State Representative Reese Purdle, on behalf of the North Carolina General Assembly, presented him with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the highest honor bestowed by the Governor, and Mayor Dwight Lake in Town Council gave him a framed resolution. Caruso spent his entire law enforcement career in May at end, starting as a dispatcher almost 30 years ago, and being named Chief about 15 years ago. Captain Tim Knight, who will be sworn in as Chief at the September Council meeting, asked officers to describe Caruso, "fair, selfless, transparent, compassionate, he cares, incredible leader, worked hard to have the highest paid police department and best equipment."

Today, we're savoring the finer things in life with a touch of elegance and flavor. Did you know that the filet mignon, often considered the king of stakes, come from the tenderloin of the cow? National filet mignon day gives us a great reason to indulge in this lean, tender cut. The term filet mignon is French for dinti filet and its delicate texture and mouth flavor made it a favorite in upscale dining. It's perfect for grilling, searing or even roasting. So why not treat yourself to a delicious filet mignon dinner tonight and savor every bite of this luxurious dish. So what sides do you like with your food, Abe? Maybe a little asparagus, grilled spinach, some mushroom risotto. Wow. What about you? How do you like your steak cooked? Well, that's not cool there, but what pairs better with a fine steak than a sparking glass of Prosecco? It's national Prosecco day. This Italian sparkling wine hails from the Benito region and has become a popular choice for celebrations and casual gatherings alike. Prosecco's light, fruity flavor and bubbles make it a versatile drink, perfect for toasting or mixing in cocktails like the classic Bellini. Reads a glass and enjoy the effervescence that adds a touch of sparkle to any occasion. Cheers Marlowe. Cheers, Latoya. I can't go wrong with a glass of Prosecco with a dash, just a dash of peach to make a classic peach Bellini. Oh my gosh, this is my favorite. Really? What do you think? It's actually peachy with bubbles. Is it refreshing? It's pretty refreshing, yes. Okay, good. Let's have a couple more glasses. Alright. I'm Latoya Johnson. I'm Marlowe Anderson.
