Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation
Last Chance Grade Permanent Restoration Project U.S. Highway — Del Norte County
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation WHAT IS BEING PLANNED?
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to permanently restore a section of highway, known as Last Chance Grade, located on U.S. Highway 101 in Del Norte County (postmiles [PMs] 12.7 to 16.5). Last Chance Grade is a 3.5-mile-long section of highway approximately 10 miles south of Crescent City. The project would permanently restore the highway in response to landslide activities that have created roadway damage and frequent highway closures for decades.
WHY THIS PUBLIC NOTICE?
Caltrans has prepared the Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) and Final Section 4(f) Evaluation.

Research Yee for Congress
Editor:
As the June 2 primary approaches, California’s Second Congressional District needs bold leadership.
For too long, incumbent Jared Huffman has operated as a cautious politician. His reliance on corporate political action committee (PAC) donations leaves local concerns secondary to big business and foreign interests.
Rose Penelope Yee offers a refreshing contrast. By refusing PAC funds, she ensures her only accountability is to the voters. Her platform strongly supports universal healthcare through Medicare for All, prioritizing everyday citizens over corporate lobbying.
Our community deserves a brave, morally sound representative who reflects a modern, forward-thinking Democratic Party. I encourage everyone to research Rose Penelope Yee before casting their ballots.

Supporting Evan Schwartz
Editor:
I am writing in support of Evan Schwartz for Fifth District supervisor. I have known Evan since 2013, and over the years have been impressed with his commitment to finding and meeting needs in the community. He has served on the McKinleyville Community Services Parks and Recreation Committee and his businesses have been focused on addressing local needs. During the pandemic, he made food deliveries for high-risk individuals and others for whom getting out to shop in person was no longer feasible. I am looking forward to his continued service to our area.

Vote for Mary Burke
Editor:
It’s election time and the hand painted campaign signs for Mary Burke are in full bloom everywhere in McKinleyville and beyond!
Many years ago a friend suggested we hand paint signs to invite our neighbors to vote for George Wheeler and his vision for the MCSD.
Then we painted new signs for Supervisor Madrone, celebrating his achievements with the Hammond Trail, etc.
Now the signs invite your vote for Mary Burke. An employee at the Riptide coffee shop said this to me yesterday: “Oh, I see the sign in your car. Mary’s hand-painted signs say so much about herself and her campaign! She inspires volunteers to work for her, she cares about all members of our community and she recycles, even old
campaign signs! I’ve caught her vibe and love her values.”
Please join our savvy young friend and vote for Mary Burke for Fifth District supervisor
Meighan O’Brien, McKinleyville
‘Strong and Thoughtful Voice’
Editor:
I support Mary Burke for Humboldt County Fifth District supervisor. She’s a thoughtful and hardworking community member who balances volunteer service, full-time work and family. As regional manager at CalTrout, she led important environmental restoration efforts, reflecting her dedication to the region and positive change.
Mary’s steady leadership at MCSD and MMAC brought people together, listened to their needs and showed genuine understanding. She’d serve the district fairly, inclusively and with respect. I encourage voters to support her as a strong and thoughtful voice for our district’s future.
Stephanie Frederickson, Fieldbrook
‘Deeply Committed’
Editor:
I considered running for county supervisor as a concerned multi-generation Humboldtian who believes we can be sustainably self-sufficient. Then I learned Mary Burke was running — the best person possible for the job!
Mary has been one of my most important mentors. We first met through ultimate frisbee. Early on I strove to play like her, then I strove to be like her. Sports are leadership theater, and Mary is a star. Through her hall of fame career, she consistently uplifted the strengths of others, demonstrating the rare combination of elite skill, toughness, preparation, humility, and character that defines truly great leaders.
Mary has a proven record through restoration work and leadership on MCMAC. She is thoughtful, prepared, collaborative and deeply committed to this community. Her strength will amplify our own, and her leadership will help Humboldt realize its vast and sustainable potential.
Join me in enthusiastically voting for Mary Burke!

Supreme Court Upholds Death Penalty in Eureka Family’s Slaying
By Kimberly Wear kim@northcoastjournal.com
Twenty-four years after a Yosemite lodge handyman was sentenced to death for the brutal murders of a Eureka mother, her daughter and a family friend from Argentina during what was supposed to be a sightseeing trip to the iconic park, the California Supreme Court has denied his appeal.
A jury found Cary Stayner, now 64, guilty of the killings of 42-year-old Carole Sund, 15-year-old daughter Juli Sund and 16-yearold Silvina Pelosso, and determined he was sane at the time of the crimes before rendering the final judgment following a third proceeding. He was officially sentenced in December of 2002.
prosecutor’s questioning of an expert witness who testified that Stayner had “‘excellent’” potential for making a positive adjustment to prison life.” The prosecutor asked whether correctional facilities “employ young female staffers,” to which his response was yes. But the defense was not allowed to ask further questions in the wake of that answer.
“In short, Stayner was wrongly prevented at the penalty phase trial from offering evidence to rebut the inference that he would pose a danger to female correctional officers, and then he was wrongly left defenseless when the prosecutor relied on that inference near the end of his closing argument to urge a verdict of death,” Evans wrote.
In the appeal, Stayner raised a litany of issues spanning every aspect of the case, including that his Miranda rights were violated and he faced coercive tactics during an FBI interview during which he confessed. He also claimed judicial bias by the trial court across the span of the proceedings, from voir dire to the penalty phase, as well as jury misconduct.
“These circumstances, fairly read, should do more than ‘raise some concerns,’” the justice said, citing the majority opinion with the quote, and amounted to “a violation of due process.”
Evans added, “What the majority’s abbreviated analysis of prejudice overlooks is that a defendant’s future dangerousness is one of the most significant (if not the most significant) of the factors juries consider in deciding whether to sentence a defendant to death.”
Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero penned the more than 200-page decision that meticulously details Stayner’s challenges and the court’s responses, writing: “Defendant asserts the cumulative effect of the trial court’s errors requires reversal. We have assumed error, but found no prejudice” regarding his claims.
“We conclude that the cumulative effect of these assumed errors does not warrant reversal. The judgment is affirmed in its entirety,” Guerrero wrote in the April 30 opinion signed off on by five other justices.
Justice Kelli Evans offered a partial dissent, writing that while Stayner was “found to have committed three murders with five special circumstances after a fair trial” and she concurred “in the judgment affirming the jury’s guilt verdicts as well as the jury’s finding that Stayner was sane at the time he committed these crimes,” the penalty phase “was not, under our precedents, fair.”
The main thrust of Evans’ concerns centered on the trial court judge denying a defense request to follow up after the
In the dissent, the justice also disagreed with the majority’s assessment of the trial court’s decision not to hold an inquiry into information brought forward by the defense after the sentence that “at least two seated jurors failed to disclose … they had been molested” on a questionnaire during the selection process.
“During penalty phase deliberations, these jurors relied on their previously undisclosed experiences to discount evidence in the mitigation case that Stayner had been molested as a child,” Evans wrote, noting that “Juror No. 3’s own declaration stated that Juror No. 7 and Juror No. 10 told the other jurors that they had been molested as children but had not, as a result, murdered anyone.”
“For the foregoing reasons, I would affirm the guilt and sanity verdicts but reverse the death judgment and remand for further proceedings,” the justice wrote.” To the extent the majority opinion fails to recognize the
prejudicial error that occurred at the penalty phase trial, however, I respectfully dissent.”
According to a timeline in the opinion, Carole and Juli Sund and Pelosso were last seen Feb. 15, 1999, after renting the movie Jerry Maguire from the lodge where they were staying. That night, Stayner, an employee, used a ruse to enter their room, where he killed Carole Sund and Pelosso before kidnapping and assaulting Juli Sund.
The three were reported missing two days later after failing to meet up with other family members for a trip to Arizona, setting off a frantic search effort.
Nearly a month later, the car that Carole Sund had rented was found burned-out on a remote dirt road with her and Pelosso’s remains inside and personal items, including cameras that recorded their travels, scattered nearby. A week later, an FBI special agent who had interviewed Stayner in the initial days of the investigation received a letter with a map of an area by a reservoir in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Juli Sund’s body was there the next day. It wasn’t until five months later that the case broke. After being brought in for questioning in connection to another murder, the beheading of 26-year-old Yosemite naturalist Joie Armstrong that July, he confessed to the killings. Stayner pleaded guilty to Armstrong’s death in a separate case and was sentenced to life in prison.
A synopsis of victim impact statements in the Supreme Court opinion states Pelosso’s mother described her as a good student “who loved the outdoors, was a competitive roller-skater and had a great relationship with her family.”
She also related how she had become close friends with Carole Sund when the mother of four was an exchange student in Argentina in 1973 and they stayed in touch, leading to her daughter going to Eureka in December of 1998 to stay with the Sund family. The 16 year old had been set to return home the same month her body was found.
The summary also states Carole Sund’s mother said her daughter was “outgoing” and “the family organizer for gathering” and spoke about how the 42 year old “was active in adoption organizations and was a court-appointed special advocate for abused and neglected children.”
Similarly, according to the opinion, the grandmother described Juli Sund as “outgoing, kind and thoughtful,” and the summary states Carole Sund’s father related that Juli was “a lot like her mother” and had two wishes, “to own and drive a car and to have a boyfriend … she would never have either.”
The opinion also quotes Juli’s grandmother as saying the family had been “desperately hoping” she had survived, but, after receiving news her body also had been found, “You give up. This big hole is going to be in your life forever.”
In California, all cases in which the ultimate punishment is handed down
are automatically appealed to the state Supreme Court and it’s not unusual for decades to pass before one comes before the seven-member panel.
Stayner also filed a habeas corpus petition with the court in March of this year, which would need to be resolved before an execution date could be set. But, for now, all executions are on hold after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order placing a moratorium on the death penalty in the state.
“The intentional killing of another person is wrong and as governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual,” Newsom said in a March of 2019 announcement. “Our death penalty system has been, by all mea-
sures, a failure. It has discriminated against defendants who are mentally ill, black and brown, or can’t afford expensive legal representation. It has provided no public safety benefit or value as a deterrent. It has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars. Most of all, the death penalty is absolute. It’s irreversible and irreparable in the event of human error.”
According to the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the executive order “also calls for withdrawing California’s lethal injection protocols and immediately closing the execution chamber at San Quentin State Prison. The order does not provide for the release of any individual
from prison or otherwise alter any current conviction or sentence.”
Even before Newsom’s order, executions in the state were few and far between, with the last one taking place in 2006. As of May 18, according to the CDCR, there are 573 condemned inmates in the state, all of whom have been transferred out of San Quentin Prison’s death row over the last two years. Stayner is currently being held at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, according to the agency. l

In it for
the Glory
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill
jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
The 2026 Kinetic Grand Champions who made it across the fi nish line on Ferndale’s Main Street arrived soaked, sandy, sweaty and swathed in Glory. The three-day pedal and paddle 50 miles in a human-powered contraption race from Arcata to Ferndale with side quests in the dunes and Humboldt Bay drew to a close on Monday.
This year’s grand champion team was Team Pineapple, its orange flight suit-sporting members piloting the Star Wars-themed mixer Rebel Appliance. The name, says Robert van de Walle, came from co-captain Dawn Thomas, author of The Kinetic Kompendium: 50 Years of Kinetic Sculpture Racing, who noticed there was never “a strong Star Wars entry.” “The Rebellion is fun and scrappy and kind of relevant to what’s going on today,” says van de Walle. Pineapple teammates hail from the Bay Area, Idaho and points in between, and

van de Walle says locals have asked him, “You guys aren’t even from here, how come you keep kicking our asses?” He laughs, offering a challenge: “You are welcome to try.”
Not that speed is the only way to win Glory. The first place Art Award went to Wheely Wonka, while the Engineering Award belongs to Chitty Chitty Bling Bling, which notably also took the Golden Dinosaur for breaking down first after departing the Arcata Plaza. Yeastie Boys similarly scored the Pageantry Award and the Mediocre Award for arriving in the very “middle of the pack.” Slug Life slithered into the crowd’s hearts for the Spectators’ Fave, and Glory as the Magic School Bus cannon-balled into the Biggest Splash Award. Glory went to the Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse and Megoosa, who won Golden Flipper awards for going ass over tea kettle in the water and sand, respectively.

What’s Good at the Friday Night Market?
Story and photos by Jennifer Fumiko Cahill jennifer@northcoastjournal.com
In case last year’s season of Friday Night Markets in Old Town have been pushed down in your mental feed by the crushing cavalcade of events over the past months, here’s a quick refresher. The start time is 5:30 p.m. and lines for food stalls vary wildly. Parking is at a premium, so carpool if you can and either stake out your spot early or plan a pleasant walk to your ride to aid your digestion. And if the afternoon sun tells you to wear a cute sundress or something sleeveless, bring a sweater because she lies about the temperature drop after 6 p.m.
Market favorites like Frybread Love and familiar trucks like Nou Nou’s have returned, along with a crowd of newer vendors worth navigating the crowds to reach.
Locavore Pop-Up
The vibes are wholesome over here,
with homemade everything from pickles to pound cake to freshly squeezed Meyer lemonade ($4). The Spicy Tuna Melt made with Banjo Fishing Inc.’s albacore on house-baked white bread is given zing with red onion, herbed mayonnaise, Buffalo hot sauce, slivers of jalapeño and jack cheese ($18). It’s true what they say about local tuna ruining you for the usual cans. You might inquire about extra cheese if you like a heavier melt but it’s a solid, split-able choice if you’re grazing with a pal.
Chilango’s
The truck, frequently at 724 Seventh St. in Arcata, isn’t new but it has eluded me thus far. A good Samaritan recommended the cochinita pibil in any form. Delivered atop a slim huarache, the oval of yellow masa piled with firm black beans, salsa, fresh and grilled onion, the orange-tinged pork marinated in annatto and tangy citrus juice is a deeply flavored, falling-apart marvel ($11). The price for this generous plate is a bargain because this is a whole dinner, but it’s hard to imagine the cochinita pibil not working out in anything from a torta to nachos.

Huddie’s Harvest
Apple cider doughnuts are a decidedly autumnal treat but I’m not complaining about this East Coast favorite showing up at any time of year. Rings of the softest cake flavored with cider and nutmeg, then fried dark and crusted with cinnamon sugar break apart so easily in your fingers you should probably nibble them from the paper bag. They’re $3 each, two for $5 or a dozen for $25 — but eat at least one immediately for the fullest experience you can have without raking leaves or visiting an orchard. l

Imaginary Invalid is Farce for What Ails You
By Doranna Benker Gilkey frontrow@northcoastjournal.com
North Coast Repertory Theatre’s adaptation of Molière’s The Imaginary Invalid is a social comedy that exposes the ridiculousness of station, pride and matters of the heart. This adaptation was set sometime in the regency era, judging by the elegant costumes by Megan Hughes and Linda Muggeridge, and rich set design by Nora East. While much of the thematic material points out the hypocrisies and inadequacies of the social class system of that era, there are a few jabs at current issues as well. Or maybe things haven’t really changed since the mid1600s when Moliere penned the original script. That’s a bitter pill to swallow, but fun over-the-top characters are the spoonful of sugar that gets the medicine down. And in the end love prevails in unexpected ways (well, some of it was expected, but not all.)
Argan (Todd Chittenden) is the hypochondriac head of a household consisting of his daughters Angelique (Mel Resendez), Louison (Mariah Hall) and house servant Toinette (Holly Robertson). Argan’s solution to his escalating doctor bills is to arrange a marriage for Angelique to young, soonto-be doctor Thomas Diafourus (Stephan Chittenden). With a doctor in the family, he would get free healthcare.
Many flies find their way into this ointment and thwart his plans at every turn. Angelique doesn’t care for the arrangement since she has fallen in love with Cleante (Leo Natharent) and is certain he will ask for her hand at any moment. Louison is mad Argan didn’t arrange the marriage for her instead. His second wife Beline (Janine Redwine) is scheming to steal his wealth with the help of her lover, lawyer Monsieur de Bonnefoi (Moss Nipkau). Thomas is reluctant to marry anybody but is cowed by his overbearing father Monsieur Diafourus (Ricardo Cueva). Toinette is the sensible center, trying to find the best solutions for everyone. She
isn’t spared from affairs of the heart however, as Argan’s adventurous brother Beralde (Filip Amborski) is smitten with her and agrees to help her in exchange for a kiss. Her brother Guy (Tyler Elwell) is the newest addition to the chaotic household, recently hired as the valet. He is the proxy for the audience, watching the overly complex, increasingly ridiculous situations the other characters get themselves into with good-natured perplexity.
Todd Chittenden fills the extremes of Argan’s character admirably, ranging from pitiful to angry to loving. As I watched opening night, I would get mad at Argan for being selfish because I could see he had a good heart, and I wanted him to follow it. Robertson plays his emotional foil with finesse. Toinette often seems to be the only adult in the room, but her emotional maturity is tempered with a sense of humor and her own fallibility. The daughters are clearly the life of the household. Angelique is willfully, determinedly naive and Louison firmly dour. Resendez and Hall play opposite sides of a coin without sacrificing the strong sisterly bond. Their stepmother Beline strains Argan’s loyalties while coddling him, all to con him out of his riches. Redwine plays such a mercurial and conniving villain, if she were allowed a mustache, she would twirl it! Her partner in crime Monsieur de Bonnefoi has an unfortunate reaction to dishonesty, which Nipkau clearly delights in taking to maximum
physical comedy. He gives the same comedic intensity to Dr. Purgon as a self-important quack we love to hate. Cueva and Stephan Chittenden also play their father and son duo with physically extreme and opposite mannerisms to great effect. Natharent is truly gallant as the hopeless romantic Cleante. Amborski likewise eats up the stage with the life-loving, adventurous (and also hopelessly romantic) Beralde. The elder brothers are opposites much as the sisters.
There are many over-the-top personalities competing for attention on the stage, but directors Merrik D. Yra and Abigail Camerino give them space to be their entire, unique selves in turn to deliver maximum comedic impact. There is a lot of nonsense happening, and poor Guy is in the middle of it all. Elwell plays him as the only truly sane one, even more so than his sister. He reminds the audience that no, none of this is normal — yes, you can laugh and roll your eyes at the absurdities. Most of the plot lines wrap up in a comfortably predictable
way while some are surprising. The twists ground the story, creating a satisfying antidote to existential ailments you may be suffering from at the moment.l

A Slow Slide Whistle Before the Bomb
By Collin Yeo setlist@northcoastjournal.com
Judge Doom, the villain of 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was the despotic lawman of the film’s fictitious Toontown, a zany Hollywood for animated characters that existed alongside its real-world cultural mecca in the film’s 1947 storyline. Himself a cartoon in human disguise, this demonic executioner of toons sold out his own kind to pulverize the Technicolor wonders of Toontown to build a massive freeway in a scheme that would make Chinatown’s Noah Cross smirk his evil rictus grin. You hear the term “cartoonishly evil” thrown around a lot these days to describe the oligarchic architects of our Idiot World, and that’s probably because you only need to squint a little to see how nakedly corrupt and audacious their unchecked cruelty is playing out in their preferred expression of the death drive that has fueled the most destructive and nihilistic misadventures throughout human history. I mean, these assholes are trying to force upon us a new extractive industry that strip-mines the past while destroying the future in every possible way, polluting all ecosystems from our physical environment to the landscape of our dreams. And they appear to be getting away with it. I shouldn’t have to say that I have no relationship with AI in creating this or anything else I write about, but that’s become such an outsider position that it bears repeating. But I’m neither a doomer nor an outlier. I’m just a human, unable — like the rest of us — to live in the artificial physics of Toontown, but still capable of appreciating the parts that come from the organic forces of creation. So while I can’t live with the Animaniacs, I can whistle a merry melody dirge as the bombs pummel the bright memories and turn what once was into what can never be again. As I refuse to be a doomer, I still embrace my version of a cartoon future and dream of a day when the villains are the only victims of their corrosive ooze. Th-th-th-th-that’s all folks!
Thursday
Art-rock prog weirdos Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are back in town at Humbrews
tonight at 8:30 p.m. This time around they have brought with them fellow Oakland homelanders
Gumby’s Junk , a group of sonic surrealists who palette-match the headliners in a very complementary fashion. Advance tickets are on sale now for $20 and it will cost an extra $5 at the door, along with the uncertainty of getting in if this one blows up like it oughta.
Friday
Kommuna Lux plays Synapsis on Friday, May 29, at 8 p.m.
Photo courtesy of the artists
The Eureka Symphony ends its season tonight and tomorrow night with a program called A Requiem for Humanity, which is hopefully a more wistful than prophetic title. Either way, it’s a performance of Brahms’ A German Requiem, which is lovely and chock full of choral beauty. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. both nights, and tickets will run you from $21-$54.
Meanwhile, a half hour later at Synapsis, there is a perhaps livelier event that is nonetheless informed by the encircling chaos of the times. Kommuna Lux is a Ukrainian folk act that brings a high energy hybrid of the former plus Balkan dance and horny klezmer sounds to every gig. The group is currently on a barnstorming U.S. tour to spread the tunes around and raise money for humanitarian relief and aid for Ukraine. If you’d like to support the Ukrainian people in a way that doesn’t involve treating their suffering as a necessary tragedy in a proxy state to further the geopolitical whims of the blood demons and Nyarlathoteps lording over the fall of humanity, this is an excellent opportunity for such. Tickets are only $20 for a rare treat.
Saturday
Because I’ve got nothing going on for the first of the month, let’s load up tonight with three diverse 7 p.m. gigs to cast a wide net to snag as many of you as possible. First up, the good people at the Creative Sanctuary are continuing their excellent Homage to the Message series of shows highlighting
various stars from the extended universe of Art Blakey’s curation of the Jazz Messengers. Tonight’s gig at the Arcata Playhouse is all about the music of pianist and composer Cedar Walton. Tickets are a sliding-scale $15-$30 to see James Zeller and company do that thing they do so well.
Meanwhile, over at the Moss Oak Commons, it’s another edition of Openhead Records’ Freq Night. Tonight’s show is all about low and slow, meditative sublimity with acts Elegant Humanoid , Samantha and Pleaura & Godzdog joining forces with No Passage from Portland to trickle out drops of healing salve through the speakers.

Tuesday
The Neighborhood Kids are bringing the
Voice of the Revolution Tour to the Arcata Playhouse tonight at 7 p.m. Well-lauded in their native San Diego — the group won Best New Artist and Best Hip Hop Artist in last year’s San Diego Music Awards — the Kids are on the road to spread their music and message of uplift and transformation during a time when everyone out there could use a whole lotta positive change. Greater Los Angeles duo the Indigenous Cats and local sage Nac One split the undercard for what is certain to be a perfect way to inaugurate a summer full of progress, from the ground floor of a growing, shared community to the rare colors of our glorious dreams. The time is now, the place is now … and the tickets are only $20. And there will be great food available from Aquilli Metzi. Here’s to a better world, built tonight and many more like it in the future.
Wednesday
Speaking of the future, the past is always prologue, to paraphrase Antonio from Shakespeare’s final play The Tempest. And the past depicted in Alex Cox’s film Repo Man is informed by a stark futurism and tempered by a sarcastic irony rarely seen outside of great literature and cinema. Appropriately released in 1984, this punk rock vision of Hell is one of my favorite comedies of the modern canon. You can check it out at the Arcata Theatre Lounge tonight after 6 p.m. for Sci-Fi Night. Same deal as always: Show up before 7 p.m., throw down $6 — $10 if you want a poster, too — and enjoy the fun. l

Folk Horror Summer
Passenger and Hokum
By Jennifer Fumiko Cahill screens@northcoastjournal.com
PASSENGER. Sunken in our seats after the now usual set of car commercials that precede the previews, the trailer for Passenger was a welcome jolt. A likely pair of dudes pull over on a dark backroad for a potty break that escalates to creepy disappearance, sudden shock, gore, specter-sighting and a cracking jump scare. It boded well for this year’s early crop of summer horror, like an undead groundhog not seeing its shadow, signaling the end of the serious drama season.
While Passenger delivers on its promise of startling moments and roadside heebie-jeebies, the writing, story and performances are a drag on the fun and the goofy, self-aware energy of that tightly edited trailer, which serves as the opening of the movie, is lost.
of Jane Doe (2016) and The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023), an excellent and unrelenting Dracula/Nosferatu side-quest about the vampire’s seafaring trip to England. Passenger shows fl ashes of what he can do with shadow, fl ashing emergency lights and, in one scene, a projector in the woods. But there’s little he can do to overcome the flimsy script by Zachary Donohue and T.W. Burgess. The dynamic between the couple is eye-rollingly uninteresting and made worse by a chemistry deficit between the leads. A conversation about their incompatible dreams, overdue as it is, becomes so tedious we grow impatient for the return of the evil entity. He, at least, knows what he wants. Leo, a pleasure to watch elsewhere, seems to have thrown up her hands and leaned into camp. Not that there’s anywhere else to go with lines like, “People don’t take trips — trips take people.”
After the initial supernatural roadside attack, the action shifts to New York City, where fresh-faced, young couple Maddie and Tyler (Lou Llobell and Jacob Scipio) are improbably moving out of a loft apartment with incredible light to embark on a van life adventure. Ditching most of their possessions, they head out armed with a St. Christopher charm and a Bob Ross bobblehead, Tyler barely containing his joy and Maddie mustering ambivalent smiles. Their divergent experiences of life on the road a month and change out are not helped by Tyler proposing and the happy-ish couple immediately witnessing the fallout of a grisly crash. The survivor of the earlier attack swerves past and crashes. When Maddie and Tyler pull over to help, the weirdness begins. According to road tips from a seasoned camper (Melissa Leo) at a van life meetup (unforgivably named Burning Van), they aren’t the fi rst folks to be hunted by the Passenger demon. First, only Maggie experiences the growing unease, trippy moments and demonic stalking. But soon it’s clear to both of them that showering at 24-hour gyms isn’t the most cursed part of their adventure.
The half-hearted connections to folklore, hobo code and Biblical tales don’t turn up the kind of dread the writers likely hoped for. In this economy, the prospect of paying for gas on an endless road trip is a greater terror. St. Christopher features prominently, and Passenger offers up an anecdote about him traveling with a man he discovers is a demon. But it’s nowhere as wild or haunting as the standard tale of him as the original reprobate who chose to roll with Satan before discovering the devil fears the more powerful Christ. There’s much in St. Christopher’s hagiography to mine for spooky lore, from his roots as a giant with a werewolf-like dog’s head and, after his conversion, his near drowning carrying a supernaturally heavy child (who turns out to be Christ) across a river. Then there’s his deflecting an arrow into a king’s eye and his eventual martyrdom by beheading. I mean, come on.
Director André Øverdall has some bone-rattling horror on his resume, including plot-light but compelling The Autopsy
Looking back at the most effective scenes, one wonders if abandoning the folklore altogether wouldn’t be the best
path, since the biggest scares are ordinary: a woman crossing a dark parking lot, lonely roads, the dark just beyond the fl ashlight’s beam. That’s where the most frightening parts are. R. 94M. BROADWAY.
HOKUM. Having seen this one late in its run, I mention it here as a salve to the disappointment of Passenger. Damian McCarthy’s weird and wily horror about a miserable writer’s (Adam Scott) trip to his deceased parents’ honeymoon spot in rural Ireland is a darkly comic treat with gut-clenching tension. The pleasure of an old-fashioned haunting, locked rooms, small-town kooks, superstition and hair-raising witch lore comes with nods to The Shining but more humanity than that film. Immersive visuals, physical effects and dreamy logic bind ancient fears to modern guilt. R. 107M. BROADWAY. ●

Ladybug Wind Deniers
By Mike Kelly washedup@northcoastjournal.com
It’s the wrong time to go, folks. It’s a warm spring day, but there’s a Devil Wind a-blowin’,” said a ladybug to the hundreds of others huddled together waiting for the right time to emerge from my shed.
“Eat shit, you woke pansy. I’m gonna go find a rose garden, chow some aphids and bang some spotty hotties!” said a tough-guy ladybug, revealing his feelings of inadequacy.

The wise ladybug said, “And the ocean is nearby. These winds blow from inland mountains toward the sea. As the air descends from the mountains, it compresses and warms. Literally billions of ladybugs perish at sea when these conditions occur.”
“That’s a bunch of Dumbocrat fake news,” said the tough guy. And in a small victory for evolution, the wise ladybug and his old lady, plus all her girlfriends, were the only ones who didn’t leave with the malignant narcissist ladybug.
As our tough guy struggled in the wind, he saw many ladybugs and other tiring insects. Soon he was searching for his rose garden over the blue ocean.
Exhausted, he flew too low and was hit by a breaking wave. He tumbled in the surf and washed up on the beach. He saw dozens of other ladybugs struggling to crawl or uselessly spreading their wings trying to fly. He also saw a bunch of green stink bugs, including one right next to him.
“That’s a lefty climate change conspiracy theory,” said the soon-to-be salt-bound tough guy. “You lemmings will believe anything your overlords on NPR say.”
“Do you see a single insect flying away?” said the stink bug. “Some of us have been here for hours and still cannot fly. We are dehydrated and our wings are bound by salt crystals.”
Another wave-tumbled ladybug washed up and said, “This is Joe Biden’s fault.”
The stink bug continued, “Scientists have studied these mass insect strandings. Like my wise friend tried to tell me, the east wind can result in the deaths of literally billions of insects in a single day. Ladybugs are one of the primary victims. And weaker flyers like my species commonly get swept up in it as well. They also found that some species of ladybugs can float for weeks and survive, but only if it’s in fresh water. It’s the salt that’s going to cause us to die as hungry virgins.”
The tough guy said, “Yeah, some egghead ladybug tried to feed me that bullshit, too.”
The stink bug said, “Well, I guess I should have listened to my friend. Look at how many of my brethren made the same mistake. We and many ladybugs are dying all along this beach. All I wanted was to stick my proboscis into nutritious plants and make stinky love.”
“It’s a hoax, snowflake. I’m just gonna dry my wings and fly back east when the wind dies down. I’ll be chomping aphids and mounting ladybug ladies by sunset.”
But the stink bug said, “Not only are these winds warm, they are very dry. As the sinking air compresses under the higher atmospher-
“Wait,” said the stink bug. “You’re telling me that with all this evidence of your tragic mistake right in front of you, you still don’t believe you were wrong?”
Elsewhere a day later, the wise ladybug feasted on aphids and copulated with his old lady and all her girlfriends. And all the salty insects were shared equitably by scavenging socialist crustaceans. l
