MARYSVILLE — For Marysville’s Craig Bartl, this December marked his third in a row of participating in the “Night of 1,000 Stars” impaired-driving traffic safety emphasis patrols organized by Snohomish County and Washington state law enforcement. Although Bartl is a detective with the Marysville Police Department, he estimates that he’s continued to take part in dozens of such emphasis patrols within the past few years, and he even teaches other officers how to administer field sobriety tests.

Michele Sawyer, the community/family liaison for Totem Middle School, credited every homeroom class in the school with taking part and boosting the collection totals from an estimated 700 cans of food last year to 1,157 non-perishable items of
food this year. “A lot of that has to do with our Leadership kids,” Sawyer said. “They gathered up the food every morning and kept track of which classes were leading, in terms of food collected, because the classes who brought in the most food are getting donut and juice parties in the morning.” Totem Middle School eighthgraders Meghan Barger, Cydney Rembold-Hyde, Lindsay Gann and Jamila Bojang were among those Leadership students.
