THE SUMTER ITEM FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2018 | A7 THE CLARENDON SUN Luncheon honors Junious, Samuels and Smith Sheriff shares thoughts on learning, feeling blessed in his career BY SHARRON HALEY Special to The Sumter Item

MANNING — Tears of joy and sor- row were seen on many faces of the more than 250 law enforcement offi- cers, staff members, family, friends and students at the April 19 Law En- forcement Officers’ Appreciation Lun- cheon. While they were there to honor and recognize the achievements of Yolonda C. Junious, a Victim’s Advocate with Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office who was named the Officer of the Year by F.E. DuBose Career Center’s Law En- forcement Services Class, they were there to remember and honor the late Hayes F. Samuels Jr., who served as Clarendon County coroner and mem- ber of the Law Enforcement Services Advisory Board and died in January 2018. Those present were also there to honor the memory and career of the late Holmes N. Smith Jr., an investiga- tor with the sheriff’s office who died in the line of duty in November 2014. “Every year, our officers sacrifice their lives to protect the citizens of this county and state,” said Mahogany Green as she gave the purpose for the luncheon. “On today, we would like to honor SHARRON HALEY / SPECIAL TO THE SUMTER ITEM you, our officers, and pay tribute to Yolonda C. Junious, left, was named the Officer of the Year at the Law Enforcement Officers’ Appreciation Luncheon on April 19 where those who are not here with us today,” Clarendon County Sheriff Tim Baxley, center, was the guest speaker.
