FRIDAY, MAY 24, 2019 | Serving South Carolina since October 15, 1894 75 cents Temps could ‘Gummy expert’ break records on Memorial buys Sumter’s Day weekend BY KAYLA ROBINS [email protected]

As storms threaten plans across the nation’s Mount Franklin midsection for the unofficial start to summer this weekend, Sumter and the rest of the South may see record-breaking heat during the out- door Iris Festival. An area of high pressure will continue to spur a surge of heat in the Southeast through the end of the weekend and into Memorial Day, resulting in potentially dangerous dry, sunny weather during the holiday, according to Accu- Weather. The National Weather Service is forecasting today and Saturday to be 96 and 95 degrees, re- spectively, with Sunday and Memorial Day on Monday reaching a high of 99. Lows are only expected to get down to the low 70s at night.

There’s a lot of disappointment about the Legislature’s failure to deliver this year on its promise of transformational reform of South Carolina’s education system, particularly but certainly not exclusively among teachers. It’s easy to view legislators’ pledges to make those major changes as a delay tactic, a prom- ise of a next year that never comes. But a wonky report released the day the Legislature completed its regular session could hold the key to genera- tional changes in the way we fund weightings that are supposed to provide wrote recently about the University of McMaster said. “It’s important that our schools and, even more importantly, the the extra money it costs to educate, say, South Carolina board’s rejection of veterans, through a cabinet agency, way we understand what we are fund- a poor kid, or a child who is blind or presidential finalist retired Lt.

Person of Interest ‘Ransom’ ends season 3 with an uncertain fate BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Cynthia and her brother become vic- tims on the season finale of “Ransom” (9 p.m. Saturday, CBS, TV-14). This inter- national production debuted in 2017 and was also canceled that year for low rat- ings, in the United States as well as Ger- many. But the definition of unacceptably low ratings keeps getting redefined in a downward direction, so “Ransom” has been back for two additional seasons. As we speak, the fate of “Ransom” has not yet been determined, making this finale a cliffhanger in more ways than one. • One of the few CBS drama series not set in a police force or federal agen- cy, “God Friended Me” (8 p.m. Saturday, r, TV-PG) has been picked up for a second season. The fantasy, which centers on Miles, an atheist podcaster (Brandon Micheal Hall) contacted by a divine force via a social media app, also stars actor Joe Morton as Miles’ estranged father, a prominent minister. Morton was a regular fixture in independent movies directed by John Sayles, includ- ing “Brother From Another Planet,” “City of Hope” and “Lone Star.” A pioneer of low-budget efforts that came to be known as the “indie” film genre, Sayles made the 1980 drama “Re- turn of the Secaucus Seven.” Produced DAVID LUKACS / 2019 RANSOM TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS INC. / CBS for well under $100,000, it was said to Khalid Klein, left, stars as Detective Demarais and Luke Roberts as Eric Beaumont in the “Story for Another Day” season three finale have inspired the story of “The Big episode of “Ransom,” airing at 9 p.m. Saturday on CBS.
