The small town of Middlesex was the unlikely setting for an unfolding drama, as a sober processional brought hundreds of family, friends, law enforcement officers, and dignitaries from across the state and nation to see Nash County Sheriff’s Deputy Warren Basco Lewis, III laid to his final rest. Citizens stood solemnly on the hushed streets of Middlesex as dozens of law enforcement vehicles, with flashing lights and silent sirens, escorted the body from Southern Nash High School, where over 2500 people attended funeral services, to the small Hollywood Cemetery on the outskirts of town.

In an earlier column I wrote about the parking times downtown and that the police department was increasing enforcement on parking violations. I want to give you an update. The Town Council recently amended the Town’s parking ordinance to eliminate the 15 minute and one hour parking spaces. All the time limited parking spaces downtown are now two hour parking and handicapped parking. Please take note of this when you park downtown. This does not apply to the public parking lots however; we do enforce handicapped parking in those lots. The police department is continuing our enforcement efforts in the time limited areas and in handicapped parking throughout the town.
