BY ADRIENNE SARVIS [email protected]

Along with bright, fluffy snow, Winter Storm Grayson brought poor road conditions to the Sumter area, resulting in more than 200 calls for ser- vice for Sumter Police Depart- ment. Sumter police responded to 44 stranded motorists and 71 motor vehicle incidents — in- cluding five hit-and-run inci- dents — between noon on Wednesday and noon on Thursday. The department's telecom- municators answered more than 1,650 calls in total during the same 24-hour period. Stay at home if you can, Tonyia McGirt, Sumter Police Department public informa- tion officer, said. Some businesses will be open, but drivers should take their time on the road, she said. Drive very slowly if you have to be on the roads, and leave space between you and the vehicle in front of you, Mc- Girt said.

Jessica Chastain is making waves in Molly’s Game (in theaters now), about a woman who runs an exclusive high-end poker game and has to deal with the le- gal ramifications of her actions.

He struggles to maintain control of the casino alongside a super- violent underling (Joe Pesci). ❚ Rent it on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu or YouTube.
