• Can you help? Here’s a note from Helen Wallace.…

I lost a very old and worn Catholic prayer book with some family momentos in the pages. The book is entitled “The Key to Heaven” with black binding, old text in English and Latin. It means a lot to me. I was on Young Hill  near English Camp on San Juan Island the afternoon of 6/15/11. PLEASE, PLEASE and PLEASE if you have found it, call Helen at 708-548-1351. I am going crazy looking for it!

In the Thursday evening sun...the new place is looking good!

• John Boyd dropped by the C&S on Thursday night, and filed this report:

Last night we had the opportunity for a sneak peak at the new Cask & Schooner.  Everything about the place is top notch – from the amazing replica of the first vessel built on San Juan Island to the amazing stuffed peppers appetizer, we now have an wonderful new place to dine!  We were treated to some of the best homemade ginger ale (with a hint of lime) that I’ve ever had. Fresh salmon, leek soup, cheeseburgers with olive tampenade (and local beef), chocolate torte, trifle.  We sampled a bit of everything and nothing disappointed!

Gary Gero and gang did a fantastic job on the soft opening and I can’t wait to go back again!
