Lake Shoreland Protection Commission

THANK YOU BOOSTERS: All of Grand
Isle School athletes extend a huge thanks
to the Grand Isle Boosters for all that they
do in supporting our athletic programs. In
addition to the uniforms they provide our
program, they also help in providing much
needed equipment. Most recently, Boosters
purchased new balls for our basketball
teams. We greatly appreciate all their hard
work during tournaments and running
concession stands at games that they put in
towards making these purchases possible.
The boosters are always looking for new
volunteers to help out in their activities. If
you have some time, and would like to help
out a great cause, please contact Amy Murray

HOUR OF CODE: Students in grades
K to 8 participated in a worldwide Hour
of Code event during Computer Science
and Engineering Week. Students learned
and practiced coding through a variety
of activities and demonstration videos.
Teachers in the elementary and middle
school classrooms commented that these
activities really fostered student’s problem
solving and perseverance. Students worked
independently as well as with partners and
teachers to solve a variety of programming
challenges. And when they ran their code
and it did not do what they expected
students rewrote their code and tried again!
Over 10 million students around the world
participated in the “hour of code”. The
response was so overwhelming and positive
that the resources made available during this
week will continue to be available to students
free of charge. Visit the site http://code.org/
learn, and see what coding is all about!

NEW BOOKS: Starry Night by Debbie
Macomber- “Carrie Slayton, a big-city
society-page columnist, longs to write more
serious news stories. So her editor hands
her a challenge: She can cover any topic she
wants, but only if she first scores the paper an
interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously
reclusive author. Carrie develops a theory on
his whereabouts. Soon she is torn between
pursuing the story of a lifetime and following
her heart.”
The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by
Neil Gaiman- “It began for our narrator
forty years ago when the family lodger stole
their car and committed suicide in it, stirring
up ancient powers best left undisturbed.
There is primal horror here, and menace
unleashed-- within his family and from the
forces that have gathered to destroy it. His
only defense is three women, on a farm at
the end of the lane.”
Chomp by Carl Hiaasen- “When the
difficult star of the reality television show
Expedition Survival disappears while
filming an episode in the Florida Everglades
using animals from the wildlife refuge
run by Wahoo Crane’s family, Wahoo and
classmate Tuna Gordon set out to find him
while avoiding Tuna’s gun-happy father.”
WEEKLY EVENTS: Story Time is back!
Come listen to a great book at 10 am on
Wednesdays.
HOURS: Our hours for New Year’s Eve
will be from 1 to 6 pm and closed on New
Year’s Day. We will be back to our usual
hours after the holidays Tuesday- 1 to 8 pm,
Wednesday- 9 am to Noon, Thursday- 4 to 8
pm and Saturday- 9 am to 3 pm.

Begin The New Year By
Making A Difference
Grand Isle County Mentoring is a
school-based mentoring program, which
matches community children with adults
who have similar interests. They meet
once a week for one hour in the school at
a mutually convenient time and develop
a relationship. During their time together,
they participate in many activities on the
school grounds, including games, arts and
crafts, cooking and conversation.
January is National Mentoring Month.
Grand Isle County Mentoring in conjunction
with Vermont’s Mentoring Partnership,
Mobius will promote activities and raise
public awareness of mentoring in Grand
Isle County. The theme of this year’s
campaign is “Mentoring Works!,” and
throughout the month of January, Mobius
is partnering with mentoring programs,
the Vermont Agency of Education, and
supporters from the state government
and local foundations, to highlight
the many proven benefits mentoring
provides for Vermont’s young people.
These benefits include improved school
and class attendance, better relationships
with peers and family members, and a
greater sense of connectedness to their
schools and communities.
On Tuesday, January 14 there will be a
State House event honoring mentoring,
and on Thursday, January 16 there will be
a Thank Your Mentor Day. On Wednesday,
January 22, The Blue Paddle in South Hero
will be recognizing mentors during their
dinner hours.

County Mentoring and how you can get

What a crazy year 2013 has been. I can’t
help but think what we as an American culture
have taken the time to focus on in this past
year. I know at least a few, if not many of the
following list have been used, talked about
or obsessed about in your household in 2013:
reality TV, smart phones, Netflix, Candy Crush,
Minecraft, Facebook, Playstation, Twitter, Vine,
Snapchat, Xbox 360, Google, Youtube, Wii,
Instagram, etc, etc. I truly think that taking
time away from technology of any kind would
be a great resolution for any of us in this next
year. Talking to someone face-to-face, writing a
letter, going for a walk without headphones and
music, taking a trip to a local museum, visiting
the library and checking out a book, playing a
board game, reading The Islander and counting
one’s blessings-- now those should certainly top
anyone’s 2014 to-do lists. I, for one, will truly try
to “unplug” a bit more this year and spend more
time just enjoying my family and friends. That
is, after I finally beat level 181! Happy New Year
to one and all. May 2014 bring health, happiness
and hope for a brighter, less popular-culture
driven world.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONDER
COURSE HELD IN ALBURGH
Any member of a local Fire Department or
Rescue Squad will tell you that there is always
a need to find new volunteers. Toward that end,
the Alburgh Rescue Squad is sponsoring an
Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) Course to
be held at the Alburgh Fire Station on Tuesday
evenings. The course is sixty hours long and is
targeted towards people with little or no medical
experience. It is open to anyone living in the
Grand Isle or Franklin County areas. There will be
an informational meeting on Tuesday, January
7, at 6:30 pm, to discuss the course requirements
and answer questions. If you have time to spare,
consider using it to help your neighbors medical
needs.
Vermont’s New Free
Ice Fishing Day Announced
Always wanted to go ice fishing but couldn’t find a good excuse to get away? The Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Department has found that excuse for you: a “free ice fishing day” on the fourth Saturday in January.
Saturday, January 25, 2014 is Vermont’s new free ice fishing day: a day when anyone, resident or nonresident, may go fishing without a fishing license.
“We worked with the Legislature to create a free ice fishing day to encourage individuals, friends and
families to get out and try one of the most popular fishing methods enjoyed in Vermont,” said Fish & Wildlife
Commissioner Patrick Berry.
“I know some Vermonters who go because they have more free time in the winter months,” he added.
“Others go because they enjoy the tremendous fishing opportunities to be found this time of year. And still
others simply enjoy getting out together to have fun and catch a few truly fresh fish to bring home for dinner.”
Vermont’s premier fishing destination, Lake Champlain, offers many ice fishing opportunities. Quality
fishing for many species is easy to find on this 120-mile long lake, including landlocked salmon, lake trout,
northern pike, yellow perch, white perch, walleye, and crappie.
“Lake Champlain attracts twice as much fishing activity during the winter as during the summer, particularly
in the northern third of the lake,” said State Fisheries Biologist Brian Chipman. “The plentiful yellow perch is
the mainstay of the winter fishery, but many ice anglers also find good fishing for other species.”
Traditional northern pike hotspots include Lake Champlain’s Kelley Bay, Missisquoi Bay, Dillenbeck Bay,
Carry Bay, Keeler Bay, Saint Albans Bay, the shallow flats south of the Sandbar Causeway between Milton and
South Hero, and the area south of the Champlain Bridge from Addison to Benson.
Later, as more ice forms, landlocked salmon can be caught in the Inland Sea north of the Sandbar Causeway.
There is no closed season for trout and salmon on Lake Champlain.
If cold weather provides good ice on the deep-water areas of the lake, lake trout will be found off the
west shore of Grand Isle and in Outer Mallets Bay, Shelburne Bay, Converse Bay, and Button Bay south to the
Champlain Bridge. While walleyes can show up anywhere in Lake Champlain, the most consistent winter
action can be found in the southern end of the lake off Benson and Orwell, as well as the northern end in
Swanton and Alburgh.
Yellow perch and other panfish are being caught at sheltered Lake Champlain bays and shallows as well as
on some other Vermont waters.
Vermont’s ice fishing season for trout, salmon and bass starts January 18 and continues through March 15
on forty large Vermont lakes. For a list of those lakes, go to page 60 of the 2014 Vermont Guide to Hunting,
Fishing and Trapping, available where licenses are sold and at www.vtfishandwildlife.com.
To locate places to stay and help on the latest fishing activity, go to the Vermont Outdoor Guides Association
website: www.voga.org, and click on ice fishing.
An Internet search for Vermont Ice Fishing also will yield helpful information from several websites.
If you would like to learn more about ice fishing, be sure to attend the free fishing day ice fishing festival
being held January 25 at the Larrabee Point Fishing Access Area on Lake Champlain in Shoreham. Vermont
Fish & Wildlife staff and experienced volunteer ice fishing enthusiasts will be there, from 1 to 4:30 pm, to help
everyone, young and old, learn how to enjoy this unique and popular type of fishing.

SENIOR HOUSING RESIDENTS ARE
FETED
Residents of the E.A. & B.J. Bechard Senior
Housing in Rouses Point enjoyed a wonderful
extended holiday season with the many parties
and events that several organizations and
individuals took the time from their own busy
schedules to bring so much joy and happiness
to them. The entire facility was beautifully
decorated thanks to their own internal secret
elves.
Festivities began on December 9 when Gail
Bowman, owner of Best Friends Restaurant in
Rouses Point, presented each resident with a
“tied blanket” as a Christmas gift. These blankets
were crafted personally by Gail, came in many
exciting colors and designs, and each resident
was able to choose their favorite one.
As has been done for a number of years now,
on December 16, American Legion and auxiliary
members furnished, prepared, and served a
complete delicious Christmas dinner for the
residents. The residents look forward to this
dinner each year and very much appreciate the
generosity of Post 912 here in Rouses Point.
Delicious apple pies supplied by Judy and Calvin
Castine were enjoyed by everyone.
On December 18, residents enjoyed an evening
with the Girl Scouts of Community #436 and
Santa. The scouts entertained with caroling
and shared delicious goodies. The scouts had
prepared edible rice crispy cut outs in Christmas
shapes, and the residents enjoyed decorating
them with help from the eager scouts.
On December 20th, residents had their choice
of picking a special Christmas placemat made
by Monday Night Cutups of the Champlain
Valley Quilters Guild, NY presented by MaryLou
Beauharnois.
Also on the 20th, students from the CSES
(College for all Students) organization at NCCS
brought a handmade flower box loaded with
goodies that was the delight of everyone.
On December 21, the residents were treated to a
luncheon of pizza, donated by Gino’s Pizza, Lake
Street, Rouses Point. Judy and Calvin Castine
arranged and delivered desserts to satisfy
everyone’s sweet tooth as well.
Also, on Christmas day, the resident Doreen
Smith furnished and prepared an absolutely
delicious dinner for all residents who had not
planned to be away that evening. Every resident
was the recipient of a basket containing many
personal items as well as treats to eat, some of
which were made by family members.
Members of the Hockey Club were scheduled to
entertain with Christmas songs on Sunday, the
22nd, but due to inclement weather, it was felt
best to cancel this event. Please remember the
residents next year or at any time as the residents
enjoy visitors.
The residents and staff thanks and appreciates
all the many acts of kindness that was bestowed
upon them throughout the year. Many residents
are not able to leave their residence that often,
so they are very grateful to have visitors,
entertainment and goodies brought to them .
Just to be remembered during this season is
rewarding.
THE ALICE TO HOST AUTHOR JL
TORRES
The Alice Museum in Chazy will host author
JL Torres for a reading and book signing on
Thursday, January 23 at 7 pm. His new book
entitled, The Accidental Native, is an intriguing
novel about returning home and reclaiming love.
When Rennie’s parents die in a freak accident,
he does what he knows they would have wanted
and buries them in their homeland, Puerto Rico,
the island of enchantment. There, in the small
town they grew up in, he’s in for another shock:
the woman who raised him was not his biological
mother. His birth mother, Julia, is beautiful,
elegant and a high-powered attorney. She wants
to get to know the son she gave up many years
before, but Rennie is still grieving and unable to
accept the truth.
Adrift, with no family in New York and haunted
by memories, Rennie is swayed to Julia’s constant
pleading that he move to the island. A teaching
job at a college in Puerto Rico decides it, and he
finds himself flying “home” to a place and culture
he knows only through his parents’ recollections.
Once there, his mother is determined to educate
him on the island’s culture and history, and he
quickly learned there are several holes in his
cultural encyclopedia.
Life on the island isn’t like in the United
States, and Rennie’s workplace is no exception.
The university is woefully behind in terms
of technology, his students aren’t eager to
learn English, they’re frequently on strike and
the department chair isn’t thrilled to have a
Nuyorican on staff. Most disturbing, though, is
the rumor that numerous faculty and staff are
dying from cancer because the campus is a former
U.S. military base where toxic ammunitions have
been buried.
Rennie soon finds himself working to expose
the government’s lies, though he risks losing his
job, his home and even the woman he loves. In

and am thankful for all the blessings that have

Make Holiday
Memories Not
Tragedies
The Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department Stop
Teen Alcohol Risk Team (START) will be pro-actively
patrolling the county and enforcing underage
drinking laws at zero tolerance from December 24
through January 6, 2014. While the Department
enforces underage drinking laws at zero tolerance the
whole year through, this stepped up enforcement is
meant to encourage a safe and sober holiday season
by focusing on individuals under 21 years old who
still have not received the message that it is against
the law for them to possess, purchase, or consume
alcohol.
Law enforcement will also be conducting
increased party patrols to stop drinking before it
begins by focusing efforts around holiday gatherings
where alcohol is present and available for individuals
under 21 years old. It is against the law for anyone,
regardless of his or her age, to provide or sell alcohol
to individuals under 21 years old.
The goal of the Grand Isle Sheriff’s Department
START Team is to reduce underage alcohol related
incidents and alcohol related crashes by individuals
under 21 years old. Through pro-active intervention,
they are requesting your assistance in preventing an
underage alcohol party before it begins or reporting
an underage alcohol party after it starts. Help ensure
this holiday season creates fond memories to reflect
on for years to come not a tragedy that fills future
holidays with pain and sorrow.
Dorey Demers Recipient of the
2013 John W. Engroff Legacy Award
2013 John W. Engroff Legacy Award recipient Dorey Demers (center) shares a moment with (from left) Amy
Brewer, nominated Dorey, and Partnership Executive Leadership Team members Joe Halko, Kristin Prior, and
Deb Grennon.
During the December Annual Meeting of the Franklin Grand Isle Community Partnership, the 2013 John
W. Engroff Legacy Award was presented to Dorey Demers, former Public Health Nurse for the Vermont
Department of Health. The meeting also included a discussion of upcoming legislation and other important
topics with local legislators. Legislators in attendance included Cindy Weed, Michel Consejo, and Steve Beyor.
The nomination of Dorey Demers, as submitted by Amy Brewer, Northwestern Lifestyle Medicine Health
Educator, was as follows:
“It is my absolute pleasure to nominate Ms. Dorey Demers (“Super Public Health Woman”) of the Vermont
Department of Health for this very important award. I have had the pleasure to work with Dorey for the past
three to four years. Over that relatively short period of time, Dorey has exemplified the spirit of John: she has
a warm and witty sense of humor, is committed to and models the collaborative spirit and her commitment
to the well-being of all Franklin and Grand Isle individuals is obvious to all who interact with her.
You all know Dorey as a Partnership Executive Leadership Team member and our region’s champion for
public health. But there is so much Dorey does behind the scenes that have contributed to improvements in
the health of our community. Dorey is a natural! She dropped into our region from a background in mental
health nursing and it seems almost instantly saw the path towards improved health for the region.
In her time as Public Health Nurse Extraordinaire, she has found ways to partner with every school to find
ways to improve the health of the student body, including identifying school assets on which to build, bringing
in resources such as the State Safe Routes to School Resource Center, and supporting impactful changes.
She has presented at every municipal governing body to connect municipalities with public health principles
and the resources of VDH. She has helped to protect residents from Pertussis, has helped to test them for and
teach them about the risks for HIV/STIs, and she has brought the fun and excitement of Story Walks to all of
the Farmer’s Markets around the region.
Dorey’s instant and complete understanding of implementing public health practices has made her an
essential resource to our community. Without Dorey’s contribution, no Fit & Healthy Enosburg initiatives
would be moving forward, no School Health Indices would be begun or completed, and certainly, public
health would be missing the warm and fun spirit that Dorey brings every day. And it is clear: VDH’s Facebook
page would not be the fun model of health that inspires healthy eating, physical activity and supportive tips
that it is. Its reach is impressive. Plus, she starred in a video. That’s cool!
I am privileged to have worked so closely with Dorey over these past few years. She has been an asset to
our community, to the Partnership, and just plain fun to be around. I rely on her expertise, her creativity and
her partnership each and every day. Because of her amazing qualities, I believe she is a perfect candidate for
the John W. Engroff Legacy Award. John would have adored her, I am sure!”
The purpose of this Legacy Award is to honor and remember our good friend and colleague, John W. Engroff,
former Coordinator of the Franklin Grand Isle Community Partnership from 2003 to 2007.
John epitomized calm fortitude and grace under pressure. The level of thoughtfulness he put into his work,
and his quiet, determined efforts to improve our community and the lives of all our families brought us deep
appreciation for the opportunity to work with and learn from him. John brought great stability and credibility to
the Partnership, as well as an unparalleled, albeit slightly bizarre, sense of humor. As a Partnership, we greatly
appreciated his focus, warmth, reason, and even, maybe especially, his good grammar. It is a privilege to pay
tribute to him for his generous and honorable efforts. Walt Whitman said “The greater the reform needed, the
greater the personality
you need to accomplish
it.” In this case, John’s
greatness came from his
humble approach toward
leading
collaborative
efforts. John, thank you
for your hard work for the
greater good!

Legacy Award recipients

2009- Jake Schuler, 2010Ethan Dezotelle, 2011Amy Brewer and 2012Marcheta Townsend.

JAMES, “BICYCLE JIM” CRABTREE
James, “Bicycle Jim” Crabtree, age 68, passed
away peacefully December 27, 2013, at home
with his wife Mary and dog Toya at his side.
It was Jim’s wish, and Mary’s honor for him,
that people not be informed of his illness, as he
wanted people to remember him as he had been.
Jim was born in Alhambra, California October
1, 1945. Following graduation from Southgate
High School in 1963, Jim joined the U.S. Army
101st Airborne Rangers. He served in Vietnam and
in Germany before being medically discharged.
He was a lifetime standing member of the Grand
Isle VFW Post 10854.
In 1984, Jim moved to Vermont where he
worked various jobs. In 1986, while working at
Bromley Mountain bar-tending, Jim met the love
of his life, Mary Gilbert. They have been together
ever since, marrying in 2004. Jim had a soft spot
for dogs and for making kids smile. He enjoyed
surfing and Harley motorcycling.
His favorite work was repairing bicycles and
many may remember him as “Bicycle Jim”.
For several years he repaired bicycles locally,
setting up shop on South Street and later behind
the former Branch’s store on Route 2. Jim also
worked as handyman at Camp Hochelaga, in the
custodial department at Saint Michael’s College
and has worked part-time for the post office,
delivering mail in South Hero.
Jim is survived by his wife Mary Gilbert
Crabtree, his brother Tim and wife Kathy
Crabtree of Slidell, Louisiana and many nieces,
nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
Arrangements are being handled by the Minor
Funeral Home in Milton. Online condolences
may be made at www.minorfh.com. A service
celebrating Jim’s life will be held at the
Congregational Church of South Hero, 24 South
Street on Wednesday, January 1, 2014 at 1 pm.

that donations be made to the South Hero Rescue:
PO Box 365, South Hero, VT 05486 or the Grand
Isle Sheriff’s Department R & R Camp: PO Box

JITTERBUG ANYONE?
Dance classes at the North Hero Community
Hall will soon begin. This year, you have
the opportunity to learn the Jitterbug. You
don’t need a partner, but email Dwayne at
dcormier@dceivt.com so that he can organize
pairs.
Classes will be held on, and the cost for
the session is $30. Profits will benefit the
renovation of the Hall. Support a great cause,
shake cabin fever, get some exercise and learn
to swing a little: that’s a lot of wins.
GETTING READY FOR GREAT ICE
IN GRAND ISLE
The ice is here, and Great Ice in Grand Isle
isn’t far behind.
The schedule isn’t out as of my writing this,
but preparations are underway, and one way
you can help is by donating your Christmas
tree, decoration free, to the bonfire on the ice,
that in the past, has been paired with the Chili
Cook-off.
You can arrange pick-up by calling Hero’s
Welcome at 372-4161, or you can drop it off
yourself. Plan on attending the festivities
during the weekend of February 8 and 9?
Organizers are looking for volunteers, and I
bet they could find a job for you. Check back
next week for more details.
WHAT’S UP IN NORTH HERO?
I am always looking for your input on what
appears in the North Hero News section;
please send your birthdays, anniversaries,
stories, events and ideas to nheronews@
yahoo.com.
THAT TIME OF THE YEAR
Plenty of people have started their ice
fishing season-- be safe, best of luck, and I
hope to see you out there.
2013 is just about in the books, and a new
year awaits. I hope you have much to look
forward to in the year ahead, even if that is
as simple as the anticipation of what it may
bring-- best wishes for a happy and healthy
2014!
Last but not least, a very happy birthday to
all those celebrating this week, including one
of my favorite ladies: Mary Reilly, on January
2.

Amendments to Air Pollution Control Regulations
Vermont Proposed Rule: 13P047
AGENCY: Vt. Agency of Natural Resources
CONCISE SUMMARY: The primary purpose of this rulemaking is to update
Vermont’s ambient air quality standards for particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen,
sulfur dioxide, ozone, and lead to make them consistent with the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), which Vermont is required to meet under the
federal Clean Air Act (CAA). Minor clarifying amendments are also proposed
for the permitting regulations. A minor amendment is also proposed for used oil
combustion, truing up the rule with Vermont Hazardous Waste Management Rules
and setting a new throughput threshold. A minor amendment is also proposed to
clarify that most sources less than five tons per year of emissions do not require
a permit. The public comment period and hearing for this rule will also serve as
the comment period and hearing under 40 C.F.R. § 51.102 for corresponding
revisions to Vermont’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) to comply with the CAA.

Vermont Materials Management Plan: Moving from Solid Waste Towards
Sustainable Management
Vermont Proposed Rule: 13P048
AGENCY: Vt. Agency of Natural Resources
CONCISE SUMMARY: Act 148 passed in 2012 (the “Universal Recycling Law”)
seeks to improve the capture and diversion rates for valuable materials (such as
recyclables, clean wood, leaf & yard debris, and food scraps) to prevent them
from being landfilled. This rule amends the previous solid waste management
plan which was readopted in 2006. The rule includes significant changes to
the structure and layout of the plan. This rule is based on five material specific
chapters and a chapter addressing general planning needs. Each chapter
contains tools of action, state goals, and performance standards. The state goals,
and performance standards establish deliverables for the planning period that
include reporting, outreach and education, and convenience requirements. This
rule includes revisions that incorporate recommendations from an ANR solid
waste stakeholder group that convened in 2008.

We are on vacation this week and next-- it’s
not much of a vacation, as all it does is snow
with inclement weather through the Christmas
Holiday, I had a hard time to get shopping done.
My children brought in groceries and did some
of my last minute shopping for Christmas on
their way here. My son hasn’t gotten here yet,
but we were eight for Christmas-- it could have
been worse.
We didn’t make it to church for Christmas;
it’s the first time in many years that I didn’t make
church on Christmas. I hope we get a couple of
decent days to get out before our vacation ends.
My daughter was here for about five days over
Christmas. She helped me immensely, not only
with the dinner, but many other things to be
done. She went back home today, and our house
is big again with just the two of us.
2014
Now, a new year will have approached when
some of you read this column. It’s hard to believe
how quickly 2013 has passed. I don’t imagine
we’ll do much for New Years except maybe go out
to dinner if the weather is good to us. I usually sit
up and see the New Year come in.
NEW YEARS EVE
First Night in Burlington will be for twelve
hours on Tuesday, December 3 from Noon til
Midnight. For anyone who is interested, my
grandson, Dustin Bruley, will be hosting his
own comedy show from 8 until 8:40 pm. He’s
hoping for a good crowd. He has been doing real
well around Burlington, but this will be his first
First Night Performance. He will be at one of the
Methodist Church Halls; check your itinerary for
which one.
SCHOOL
School will resume again next Monday,
January 6. After such a long time off, it will be
difficult to get back to routine again. I really like
routine, and I think I feel better when I’m on one.
Don’t have much news all their seems to be is
weather and the holidays at my house; call me or
e-mail me if you have news.
JOKE OF THE WEEK!
Eve was the unluckiest woman alive. She
couldn’t throw up to Adam the better man she
might have married!
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
EVERYONE!
