| SUSSEX: Prayer suit settled little for families
The school board's attorney, Jason Gosselin, said some of the debate on the issue has not always been respectful, or on the "higher level" he prefers.
The debate strayed when people "on the fringes of both sides" ratcheted up the rhetoric, he said, noting that the comment about O'Hair "didn't help the debate.
"I can understand why the plaintiff was upset by that," he said.
At the same time, Gosselin said, there have been unfair and "uncalled for" things said about the Indian River school board, particularly on the Internet.
"I think this board is comprised of 10 thoughtful and decent people. I think they have been given a bad rap by people outside Sussex County," he said.
The inflamed passions on both sides are not necessarily a bad thing, Gosselin said.
Louisville lands sharpshooter
University of Louisville mens basketball coach Rick Pitino said earlier in the week that the recruiting efforts of his staff were focused on the Class of 2009.
And it didnt take him long to land one of his main targets.
Northfield (Mass.) Mount Hermon School junior Mike Marra committed to the Cardinals today, one day after Pitino watched him in a game.
Louisville was everything I wanted, Marra told The Courier-Journal today. I dont see any other coach getting more out of me than Rick Pitino.
The coaching staff meant everything to me. I had a great vibe from them.
The 6-foot-5 Marra, a native of Smithfield, R.I., picked the Cardinals over Providence, Massachusetts, Gonzaga, Wake Forest and Michigan.
Mount Hermon coach John Carroll said it took a while for Marra to get adjusted in his first year at the school.
