NEW YEAR'S FORECAST IS UNCLEAR – The weather at midnight Sunday was foggy, if not frightful. The new year was rung in locally with fireworks provided by Swinomish tribal members. Some came out to Gilkey Square, above, to take in the eerie, if damp, beauty of the night. Others danced away in Maple Hall to the music of the Chris Eger band in support of the summer Sunday concert series at the Square.
