LLSWD reports on cleanup 
The Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District said the leaf and beach cleanup that took place mid-November was a "resounding success." Jeremy Jenkins, lake protection manager, said that approximately 11,300 bags were collected and the weight of leaves and lake detritus equaled approximately 451,790 pounds. 

These efforts allow almost 500 pounds of phosphorus to be kept out of the lake, Jenkins said.

"We thank all who participated in the 22nd annual leaf and beach pickup," he said. "This could not occur without broad community participation in our environmental protection efforts for the lake, river and aquifer."

The LLSWD co-sponsored the event with the city of Liberty Lake for residences within the LLSWD boundaries. 

Election results in
As of mid-November, the Spokane County auditor's office said that there was 54 percent voter turnout for the Nov. 4 election. Some of the results affecting Liberty Lake residents included:

• Republican Cathy McMorris Rodgers retained her seat as U.S. Representative for District 5.

• Bob McCaslin came out on top for position 1 in the 4th Leg. District state representative with 57 percent of the vote. 

• Republican 4th District State Rep. Matt Shea was re-elected, also with 57 percent of votes cast in his favor. 

• Liberty Lake resident and incumbent Spokane County Treasurer Rob Chase kept his position. Voters favored Chase over his opponent by a 60-40 margin. 

• Other winners included Al French, county commissioner district 3; Vicki Horton, county assessor; Vicky Dalton, county auditor; Timothy Fitzgerald, county clerk; Larry Haskell, county prosecutor; and Ozzie Knezovich, county sheriff.

Results were expected to be certified Nov. 25. For more, go to www.spokanecounty.org/elections.
