Thanks to Falling Skies, Sarah Sanguin Carter’s star continues to rise.

For the second consecutive year, the Winnipeg product has been nominated for a Saturn Award by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for her work in the made-for-U.S.-cable series.

Carter, 33, co-stars with ER alumnus Noah Wyle in the TNT network drama (which airs on Super Channel and Space in Canada), which is set in a bleak futuristic world in which rebel bands fight for survival after Earth has been invaded by aliens.

Falling Skies received five nominations for this year’s Saturn Awards, including best series, best actor (Wyle), best supporting actress (Carter) and best guest star (Stephen Collins).

Only two other TV shows, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, matched Falling Skies’ handful of nominations.

Summer Reading Challenge concludes with more musings from young readers

8 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

Another Free Press Summer Reading Challenge for Kids is in the books, but before we turn the page completely, there are a few more reviews written by our young readers to share.

Participating readers were tasked to write down their thoughts about any of the books on the Summer Reading Challenge’s three reading lists; with a range of formats (novels, graphic novels, books with pictures), themes and reading levels to choose from, budding reviewers of all ages were eager to share their opinion.

Those registered for the challenge received reading resources and activities throughout the summer, from word searches or puzzles based on the content of the books to a set of discussion questions and, in one instance, a special video from an author.

There were also more creative activities meant to engage readers’ critical thinking skills, all of which were free to access for anyone who signed up for the challenge.

Hydro announces CEO out after two years

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 9:09 PM CDT

Allan Danroth is out as Manitoba Hydro’s president and CEO — a departure that came as a surprise to some observers — just two years after he was hired.

Danroth left for personal reasons, the Crown corporation’s board chair, Jamie Wilson, said Friday, while announcing chief operating officer Hal Turner as interim president and CEO ahead of a national and international search for a replacement.

“Today’s one of those days where you have a lot of mixed emotions,” Turner told reporters at Hydro’s downtown Winnipeg headquarters. “I just want to say on behalf of all the employees in Manitoba Hydro, we very much appreciate Allan’s leadership over the last two years.”

Turner wouldn’t say whether he will apply to be the next permanent CEO.

A security guard was taken to hospital after an assault at a Sargent Avenue FreshCo Friday, just days after another guard was stabbed during a robbery at a St. James Dollarama.

Winnipeg police said officers were called to a store in the 600 block of Sargent Avenue shortly after 1 p.m. for a report of an assault.

An adult victim was taken to hospital in stable condition. Police did not provide details about what led to the assault or whether any arrests were made.

The incident comes three days after a 22-year-old security guard was stabbed during a robbery at a Dollarama in the Courts of St. James.

Five exceptional Manitobans reflect on what it means to be Canadian while bracing against Trump’s vitriol and economic upheaval

Aaron Epp 11 minute read Yesterday at 1:35 PM CDT

Canadians have been trying to make sense of a new reality since Canada-United States trade talks broke down on Aug. 21.

The following day, President Donald Trump’s administration imposed 50 per cent tariffs on US$20 billion worth of Canadian exports to the U.S.

The federal government responded in kind a few days later, rolling out tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of imports from the U.S.

The Free Press contacted five Manitobans who have been appointed to the Order of Canada and asked them for their thoughts on the status of Canada-U.S. relations and what is means to be a Canadian today. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity.

Lake feverRe: Lake Ontario ‘then, now and always’ (Aug. 28)

Some people are stupid and uninformed and uneducated about history, as well as lacking in empathy and respect for other cultures, especially Indigenous cultures and their rich histories.

If all of the above are true for some of the American public and for Donald Trump — then you go ahead and call it Lake America!

The rest of us will stick with Lake Ontario, and we will keep the name of the province of Ontario while we are at it.

The Associated Press U.S. President Donald Trump holds up an executive order renaming Lake Ontario as ‘Lake America.’

Of frogs, roses, kings and a Great Lake

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, as the saying goes. Basically, if you change something’s name, you don’t actually change the nature of the thing.

That being said, if even 15 years ago an American president had called an entire news conference to announce he was renaming one of the Great Lakes by writing on a map with a red pen and issuing an executive order purporting to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” all and sundry would question his mental health.

Maybe, after witnessing so much from Donald Trump, we’ve all just been hardened off and the foolish is now expected daily. Perhaps it’s the political equivalent of the fable of the boiling frog.

As the fable goes, drop a frog into a pot of boiling water and it will jump right out. But put the frog in room temperature water and bring the pot to a boil, the frog will stay until its death. (It’s unlikely the frog would actually wait.)
