Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman conditionally certified Jeffco's voting equipment last week, partially paving the way for the county to conduct elections this fall without having to invest in a new voting system.

But Jeffco Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson said there's still some uncertainty resulting from legislation that would require paper ballots at every polling location, a move she's estimated will cost the county $1.3 million.

"If we do get our equipment made whole, we could proceed," Anderson said. "But there's still some ongoing uncertainty."

Let the Dakota Ridge Eagles girls basketball team eat cake. They certainly deserved it Mar. 1.

After getting roughed up on the boards by George Washington and in danger of getting roughed up all over, the Eagles leaned heavily on their age an experience.

With a first-round Class 5A playoff victory in reach, with separation finally achieved late in the fourth quarter of an exciting slugfest, the Chatfield Chargers blinked.

And victory disappeared.

Ahead by eight with 3:45 remaining, the Chargers gave up a 10-0 run to Montbello and bungled away their late attempts to tie or regain the lead in a 67-66 home defeat Feb. 27.
