Summary

The August 2011 Beacon‘s On This Date column revisits August 2001 Island news, including Camp Quality, an O’Donnell reunion book, a CMU trails map, Health Center volunteer needs, deer-deterrent advice, and memorial notices. The column also summarizes older Beacon reports on the Sisters’ departure, Wellness screening, an emergency communication tower, dump closure, Gull Harbor’s purchase, and zoning and medical matters.

Evidence limits

This record represents a retrospective column, not a newly reported August 2001 issue; the source does not reproduce every underlying article or establish all dates independently.
