the_date displaying wrong year

Hi,
I’ve applied <?php the_date('Y'); ?> in my footer with the copyright. It’s displaying 2011 instead of 2012. I haven’t been paying attention while making edits so i have no idea what I added and when I added it that makes it display incorrectly. I’m using category templates and query posts to separate my site into a blog and a “subblog” I’m not sure if that’s where the problem is coming in. Any ideas on where I would look? The sites posts were ported over from a blogger site. I don’t think that would be the issue but again, I’m not sure.
Here’s the site: GTSB
Thanks for any help
