Our serial comic strip for 2023 is War on Crime

War on Crime was conceived, at least in part, by FBI director Edgar J. Hoover, who intended it as a public relations exercise. It was designed to counteract the current portrayals of G-men as lone mavericks. Instead, the strip showed the FBI as a formidable and well-oiled organization that was under the direct control of the director.

The strip launched on May 18, 1936 appearing in 45 newspapers. It was written by crime reporter Rex Collier, who was a personal friend of Hoover. The illustrations were initially provided by Kemp Sterrett who after a year was replaced by Jimmy Thompson.

All the stories featured in the War on Crime were real-life cases, and personally vetted by Hoover. The strip chronicled the demise of such infamous characters as: Ma Barker, Baby Face Nelson and John Dillinger.

The strip finished its run on January 22, 1938.

Get on the bus: funding supports rural regional transportation

The province is contributing $5 million to the Northern Development Initiative Trust to continue BC Bus North and the Northern Community Shuttle Program until 2026-27.

Prince George to lead hydrogen hub momentum in central B.C. “We understand how critical BC Bus North and the Northern Community Shuttle program are to meeting the needs of people in northern communities who may otherwise have limited transportation options,” said Rob Fleming, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure today in a statement.

“Extending these northern programs will ensure people can continue to access safe, reliable and affordable travel options to connect to family and industry in larger centres.”

This funding will ensure the continuation of critical transit services, including community shuttles, which connect people in rural communities to regional centres. To date, 16 northern B.C. communities and organizations have received funding through this program and are operating community shuttles.

The province is also contributing $250,000 to help build an easyto-use web-based platform for travel planning, reservations and customer service to help reduce barriers to travel in the north. The new booking system will include multiple service providers and allow people to book various travel options using one platform.

The platform should be ready to use by fall 2023.

“Passenger transportation services in northern B.C. will benefit greatly from this investment by the Province of B.C.,” said Joel McKay, chief executive officer of Northern Development Initiative Trust.

“The $5 million to extend the Northern Passenger Transportation Service funding program will support the operations of shuttle buses between rural and remote communities, while also benefiting

the BC Bus North service that travels between regional centres. This additional funding will support mobility for those who live and work in B.C.’s North, allowing them to visit family and friends and access services using reliable transportation.”

In addition, the province has provided $2.5 million to the Northern Development Initiative Trust, the Island Coastal Economic Trust and the Economic Trust of the southern Interior to conduct regional engagement on and analysis of rural, regional intercity transportation.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will use the outcomes of the trusts’ engagements, complemented by further engagement with other regions in the coming months, to help inform next steps for developing options on transportation solutions in rural communities.

Arts North East (formerly the Peace Liard Regional Art Council) is getting ready to celebrate and award local artists from the Peace to the Northern Rockies.

Held annually and rotating through different member communities, Open Sky is an opportunity for regional artists to exhibit their talent and be recognized through juried awards in various categories.

This year marks the 41st time the event has been held, with the opening reception on June 9 at the Chetwynd Rec Center’s Tamarack Hall from 6 to 8pm. A series of virtual artist talks are planned, including Gerry Sheena, a carver and a member of the Interior Salish Nation, and Mary Anne Molcan, a Vancouver Islandbased print-maker.

Arts North East Executive Director Haley Bassett notes that the sky truly is the limitthere’s no particular theme in Open Sky, artists are encouraged to submit whatever mediums and subjects they like.

“There’s no theme, it’s wide open - people think sometimes, or ask me if it has to be skythemed artwork, and absolutely not,” said Bassett. “I really encourage people to come out, we’ve got some really amazing entries this year, and some from artists that haven’t previously submitted to Open Sky, so I’m really excited to have them included.”

Bassett says she’s excited to see more pieces of woodworking by local artist Becky Banack, who’s just completed a show at Peace Gallery North. Open Sky is currently scheduled to run from June 9 to July 7, giving residents across Northeast BC plenty of time to engage with the exhibition.

The Peace Liard Regional Arts Council has also undergone a name change, a refresh that was much needed, said Bassett, and better encompasses the region as a whole.

“It’s a long name and it’s difficult to remember. The Northern Rockies Regional Municipality is not called the Liard region anymore, so it was time for an update,” said Bassett.

Registration is still open for both Open Sky and the Open Sky Youth Art Exhibition until June 2. Applications are also being taken for the Open Sky Artist in Residence program, providing a stipend for a regional artist to work on their craft in the community.

Spider Man – Across the Spider Verse

S unset Prairie Recreation Commission presents the

S hare what you know

S how what you grow

August 19 & 20, 2023

Think ing of par ticipating?

Rob Brown Managing Editor

Producers have it an easy gold winning plot here with the multiverse.

Nothing but in jokes and all about Spider-Man – while torquing the familiar Uncle Ben/Aunt May narrative you and we all know.

Jump into any point – into any character of this multiverse – and away we go. Spend some time with them and tell their version of the Spider-Man myth.

Then crash them into another character – often on the same character arc. Repeat, and rinse and that is your formula here.

Team up some of the characters, make some bad guys, and cast well known voices that keep you guessing somewhat until the credits ro. And done. Story telling is simply retelling of older stories – and this is another masterclass from producers and writers.

Perhaps the film is a bit low on the bad guy quotient, and perhaps just as the last film set the bar for the next live action film – so this will set a bar for the Flash to jump later in the summer

Spider Man Across the SpiderVerse is quite futurist – and soon producers will realize they can do the same type of stories with IP they own from different adventures. Han Solo flying the Millennium Falcon with Goofy instead of Chewbacca.

The multi-verse does ground itself well with the rules of ‘canon’ events (ie Uncle Ben must always die for Spider-Man to be created). This of course sets ups quite the quandry for a Spider Man named Miles Morales and not Peter Parker.

So a future third film is set up at the end of ‘Across’ like a few Spider-Man before where the lead character is a forgotten anomaly with the entire world out to get him.

Great tie ins to the live action films with Andrew Garfield and some other Uncle bens popping in for a minute as well as old school 1967 Spider-Man in a limited role.

Great fun for kids – or anyone a fan of strong writing and world building.

Across the Spider Verse swings into Mile Zero this week.

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease

Large Animals: 250-782-1080

Small Animals: 250-782-5616 www.dcvet.ca

BY: DR. ZOE ROSS Dawson Creek Vet Clinic

Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease is a relatively recent disease that infects rabbits and hares in Canada. Although the disease was first reported in 1984 in China, it didn’t appear in Canada and the United States until the early 2000’s.

It is a very contagious disease and is caused by a virus that results in liver failure, severe sudden illness, bleeding and often death in rabbits. The time from exposure until the onset of symptoms is quite short – usually 1-4 days. Affected rabbits often are found suddenly dead with no obvious signs or in some cases will show some symptoms of illness such as a fever, decreased energy, decreased appetite, shortness of breath, bloody discharge from orifices and sometimes neurologic signs such as seizures, paralysis or difficulty walking.

The virus is spread by contact with any bodily secretions from sick rabbits including feces, urine, saliva and blood. The virus is very stable and can remain active in the environment for quite long periods of time. It only takes very few virus particles to cause infection and because of this the disease can be spread by fomites (contaminated items) such as clothing, footwear, hair, feed, dishes and even vehicle tires. There is some risk of it being spread by biting insects.

There is no specific treatment for this disease and if a rabbit becomes ill and the disease is suspected supportive veterinary care may help although often rabbits die quite quickly from the disease and there may not be adequate time to attempt to treat them.

There are important steps to preventing this infection in pet rabbits including:

1. Limiting contact between pet rabbits and wild rabbits

2. Minimizing exposure of rabbits to insects

3. Limiting the introduction of new rabbits and isolating new rabbits to monitor for any signs of disease in them before introducing them to other rabbits

4. Cleaning and disinfecting clothing, footwear, and other rabbit care items before attending pet rabbits

5. Not taking rabbits to shows or isolating show rabbits

A vaccine has recently become available in Canada to help in the prevention and control of this disease. Contact your veterinarian if you are interested in learning about the vaccine and to decide if this would be a good option for your rabbits.

ARIES – MAR 21/APR 20

Aries, things may not progress the way you want them to unless you become a little more persistent. Figure out how to walk the line to achieve your goals.

TAURUS – APR 21/MAY 21

Taurus, many things are going right with your life. But now it’s time to get a handle on your love life. You may have to put in some extra effort, especially this week.

GEMINI – MAY 22/JUN 21

Gemini, keep things on the lighter side when conversing with coworkers this week. Now is not the time to delve into controversial discussions in the workplace.

CANCER – JUN 22/JUL 22

Cancer, as you try to become more organized, try not to get too overwhelmed by the scope of the task at hand. Tackle one thing at a time and keep making progress.

LEO – JUL 23/AUG 23

Leo, situations may seem like they are a matter of life or death this week, but there’s a good chance you’re just being overly dramatic. Try to go with the flow.

VIRGO – AUG 24/SEPT 22

Emotions are running wild and you’re worried about what others think of you, Virgo. Embrace a point of view that relies more on the rational than the emotional.

LIBRA – SEPT 23/OCT 23

Libra, after a few stops and starts, you and your romantic partner are on quite a roll. Enjoy that you both are in tune and aspiring toward shared goals.
