Mr. Bradbury ran for the Supreme Court again in 2010 and lost by over 28,000 votes against Justice Burdick. If someone files by the March 14th deadline, this race will decided in the Primary Election. Bryan Smith, who is running against Mike Simpson for the District 2 U.S. Representative, will also be at these events looking for your votes. To sweeten the pot and to help raise funds for the GOP, Bryan Smith has donated a Smith & Wessen 9mm Automatic pistol to be raffled/auctioned off at the Fairfield meeting. Not to be outdone, Russ Fulcher is donating a Spud Basket for the same purpose. continued on page 2.....

State Basketball Tournament With their decisive victory in the Northside Conference, the Dietrich boys faced their first game of the state tournament with high expectations. In what was the best game of the 1AD2 Tournament, Dietrich faced off against Ambrose High School (Meridian) in a contest that kept fans on their feet right to the end of overtime which ended in a victory for the Ambrose Archers - 65 to 63. The Blue Devils went on to defeat Rockland 72 to 48, but in the consolation game, the Dietrich boys ended their season with a disappointing loss to the Carey Panthers - 55 to 62.
