Three-thread pure cotton sweatshirt with flat knit cuffs and hem.
Triangle inset at base of sleeve for comfort and ease of movement. Woven on century-old knitting machines in Germany. (
This three-thread pure cotton sweatshirt by Merz b. Schwanen features a fluid, seamless design, which is made using a loopwheel process to create one single shirt body without the need for side seams. It's woven on circular knitting machines dating back to the 1920s and based on a pattern from the 1930s. A unique panel on the underside of the arm creates a pocket for ventilation, as well as providing extra comfort and ease of movement. A classic piece whether worn for a jog, lounging at home or running errands.
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry on low setting.
In 2009, Peter Plotnicki, a former menswear tailor and vintage fashion aficionado, purchased some Merz beim Schwanen deadstock at a flea market. He was impressed with the quality but unfamiliar with the brand itself. Peter's research traced the company back to 1911, when Balthasar Merz founded a small German Alps knitwear operation that was family-run until 2007.
With permission from the Merz family to use the brand name, Plotnicki resurrected the line of German-style underwear and undershirts, with a keenness for authenticity. The garments are made on original circular knitting machines dating to the 1920s, and everything—including the trim fabrics, buttons, hangtags and packaging—is made on German soil.

School Briefs - Deep Run High School
Come Nov. 16, when the Deep Run High School boys' basketball team opens its 2012-2013 season against Thomas Dale High School, 270 days will have passed since head coach Curt Kassab and his Wildcats have taken the floor. And coming off a stingy loss to Highland Springs in the Wildcats' first playoff appearance under Kassab, this year's squad will be hungrier than ever.
Deep Run will be looking to build off last year's 16-9 season – the school's first winning season since Kassab took over as head coach two seasons ago. Last season also marked the first District and Regional tournament appearances in the Kassab era. "Our goal every year is to compete for a district title and a birth in the Regional Tournament," Kassab said.
Repeating last year's success will be no easy task, however, as Deep Run heads into the 2012-2013 season losing 10 players to graduation; most notably first-team All-District guard Parker Hull and second-team All-District center Lucas Dyer. This leaves a mere four returning varsity players for Kassab and company, and only one, junior guard Tim Branin, with extensive varsity game experience.
These key departures mean new faces will have to step up and lead this year's team, a challenge that senior guard Nick Butz welcomes. "I'm looking forward to being a leader of the team," Butz said, "I expect our team to be tough and have a great year."
While most are ready to write them off, Kassab sees this team with loads of untapped potential. "We have some talented young players and it's important that we develop these young kids," Kassab said. "I think that is critical in building a good basketball program."
With three-fourths of last year's team gone, Deep Run will have to rely heavily on its renowned student section, the "Wildcat Wackos."
The Deep Run basketball program has tons of momentum after last year's playoff run; however, with the large amount of turnover, repeating last year's success will be an immense challenge for coach Kassab and the Wildcats.

Anyhow, let me just try to reason and explain the road I've traveled thus far. Anyone who says college is hard isn't lying. It sure isn't easy. But I don't think the college itself is the hard part. For anyone that doesn't know, I'm in the final two months of finishing my Associates of Science in Radiography. Yeah, it's hard finding myself in the same spot five days a week, not getting paid to be there. Well, it's come down to do or die now. If I am so much as a minute late, I could face some serious remedial action. And no, that's not a fun thing.
But the real challenges aren't just college. College would be easy if I ate, slept, lived, spoke, breathed, and bathed only in and at the college. But that's a lot to ask for when something burning deep inside is screaming that dedicating my entire being to this program isn't what I truely yearn to do. I blame Aristotle.
So where is the challenge? Could it be the extra-curricular activities? Most likely. It's hard to focus on the college when it's easy to get distracted with pleasures in life. Sometimes the pleasures can unknowingly morph into a job in and of itself. Between keeping up on a ranger subpath and trying to physicly and financially maintain a 335000 vita/170000 mana ee san ranger on NexusTK, keeping up with a maxed level 99, ability 5 pure druid on DarkAges, and fighting the urge to not start playing too much World of Warcraft or Magic: The Gathering, where do you find the time? In fact, it's not that you can't just walk away from these things. But after one invests too much time into the tasks to excel in one of these extra-curricular areas, it's way to difficult to just turn and abandon your progress. Maybe it's easier for some, but this is coming from someone that used to photograph the victory screens of NES games; from someone that still has original boxes that game systems came in; from someone that would rather buy new memory cards than delete a saved game.
So where am I going with this? I think my weakness is that I am trying to balance two different worlds: the world of medicine and the world of video games. Is it possible to live my life out skipping back to two professions? Or would it be wiser to have no happy medium; have one medicine in my life? Or would it be wiser to have only games in my life as a hobby and a profession?
That's where I would like to be. After school is finished, I need to find a way into the video game industry before my chance is over. What is the cut-off for achieving your dreams anyway? I'm 21 now; I'll be 22 after college. When is it too late? When do you just give in and say that a dream is just that--a dream.
So I will have to start with a plan. Step one was to find more information out about the industry itself. I've satisfied the goal by asking some developers around here for advice or general insight. Check. Step two was to find a school or program. I would like to think I am worthy of DigiPen, that is if I can afford it. I'll have to start somewhere to be sure that I'm capable of the math. So I'll start at a commuinity college after this program is over, while trying to learn how to work efficiently as a Medical Imaging Technologist.
Will I ever save the money to get into DigiPen? Will I ever make it halfway across the country to Redmond, Washington where the school is hidden? Will I even make it through the curriculum? Will I even be accepted? And will my ee san ranger ever gain the 640,000 vitality and 15 Fox Hunt victories required to become sam san? All stars burn before they shine. Where I have failed in the past by not taking the proper initiative, it is time to fix the errors.
If anyone has any advice, feel more than free to share. Thanks for taking the time throw some attention my way.

A certain Harvard professor years ago predicted that solar energy would be made readily available the day that Exxon owned the sun.
In this election in which polluters and their lackeys see themselves as the owners of Washington again, the professor's prediction sounds more like a curse.
But there is a star that shines especially brightly in these difficult hours. It's the star in the flag of California, which has given us all yet another lesson in common sense and a vision for the future. And Latino voters have turned out to be crucial in this extraordinary success. From the Los Angeles Times:
Driving much of the success -- and distancing the state from the national GOP tide, according to exit polls -- was a surge in Latino voters. They made up 22% of the California voter pool, a record tally that mortally wounded many Republicans.
One of the most painful wounds no doubt was the crushing defeat of Proposition 23, the dreadful creation of two Texan oil companies, Valero and Tesoro, and of the Koch twins, owners of Koch Industries, the money tree for the country's most toxic causes.
But their $10-million attempt to promote this initiative aiming at eliminating AB 32, one of the world's most advanced clean energy laws, crashed against a wall of bipartisan opposition in this electoral cycle's only clear referendum on climate change.
The oil companies suffered a humiliating 20-point defeat in which Latino voters again played a key role. This victory has been a breath of fresh air, especially for us. Eighty percent of Latinos in California and the rest of the country live in the counties with the worst air quality.
Fossil fuels hold the health of our communities hostage, as asthma and other respiratory diseases are considered an epidemic, especially among our children.
Also, AB 32, since it was approved by the California voters in 2006, has created 500,000 jobs, especially in the sectors of the economy that employ the most Latinos.
"Supporting clean energy is not only essential for the environment and good for the economy," said a New York Times editorial. "When voters have the facts, it can also be a political winner."
In California, and other states, the big political losers were the enemies of immigrants. In the California gubernatorial race, Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman were in a dead heat until it was revealed that she had fired her undocumented maid. Later, Whitman said the maid should be deported even though she had considered her "part of the family" for nine years of employment.
This show of cruelty sent Latinos rushing to the polls on Nov. 2, and 86 percent of them voted not only for Brown but also for Sen. Barbara Boxer, who defeated another immigrant basher, Carly Fiorina.
Another great piece of news were the catastrophic attempts to mislead Latino voters to keep them from voting.
In Nevada, ultra-conservative Sharron Angle hit the same wall of indignation: the Latino vote. In her race to unseat Sen. Harry Reid, Angle made clear her rejection of immigrants and her support for Arizona's draconian anti-immigrant law.
The Angle campaign and other Republican operatives clearly understood that if Latinos were to vote in great numbers, it would be impossible to defeat Reid. Then we saw some shameful attempts to suppress that vote, such as the one by Robert de Posada, an expert in some of the country's dirtiest political brawls.
Through radio and TV ads, de Posada instructed Latino voters to skip the election as a "punishment" for President Obama's failure to pass an immigration reform.
But de Posada's attempt backfired, as Latinos went out to vote en masse, with 90 percent of them choosing Sen. Reid, who thanks to this support crushed Angle at the polls.
It's no wonder then that President Obama called the Latino vote "crucial." And in these somber hours, it turned out the sun rose from California.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - 13 business owners in Fort Wayne are getting matching funds from the city to upgrade their buildings.
The city's Commercial Facade Grant Program awarded funds ranging from nearly $3,000- 40,000 for things like sidewalks, lighting, landscaping and parking.
In all, the city will kick in $220,000 but included with the private money being spent, the total investment in the community could be close to one million dollars, for businesses ranging from a florist, an automotive center and a restaurant, to a specialty grocery store.
This is the third year for the Commercial Facade Grant Program.

Practice areas & skills: DUI & DWI, Criminal Defense, Domestic Violence
The U.S. government, sometimes referred to as the "federal" government, has decided that a number of activities are criminal. These federal crimes are typically very serious and are tried in federal courts under special federal rules of procedure. Some examples of federal crimes include the use of biological weapons, acts of civil disorder, kidnapping, and racketeering, just to name a few. If you are accused of a federal crime, you should enlist the services of a federal crime lawyer who works with these federal laws and understands the federal courts and their procedures. This lawyer will be familiar not only with the elements of the crime you are charged with, but also with the defenses available to you.

The spirit of Christmas was in the air, at least for a while, at Tuesday night's New Plymouth District Council meeting.
OPINION: There was even some Christmas cake on a table beside the tea urn, carefully cut into tiny slices. After all there had been a council workshop for 4 1/2 hours on the review of the council's level of service. Which, to put into English, means a few of them have been looking at ways of saving some dough to keep the rates rises down.
Mayor Harry, as is now the custom, welcomed both spectators (the other two were submitters), the media (both of us) and everyone else. So far things were going well, with an obliging agenda that was notable for its brevity and only four items, if you exclude the increasingly frequent addition these days of the "Recommendation to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting."
That was probably just as well. Councillors looked a little jaded and could have been excused for wanting the meeting to be over sooner, rather than later. One thing that was obvious was several male councillors visiting the toilet during the brief interlude, but it wasn't a case of diarrhoea; they were putting their ties on, as per standing orders, for the council meeting.
Curiously, during the meeting, some male senior managers were sitting around the same debating table giving advice and explanations to the Elected Ones, and there wasn't a tie in sight. So it seems the rules only apply to councillors, but not the staff. Interesting.
Despite the small agenda, there was some anticipation with the awareness that the meeting also had two deputations. The first was from Dr John Valentine. A resident of Messenger Pl in Oakura, he was worried that some residents, current or future, could be growing trees that are higher than the equivalent four-storey maximum height for buildings. He was also concerned that a developer could buy four sections and put up a high(ish)-rise building and ruin it for the others who live in the most expensive street in the district.
There was some sympathy for his concerns, but as council officer Colin Comber pointed out, the district plan only covers buildings, not vegetation. So that was that.
Then came Len Houwers. He is probably the council's least favourite opponent these days, and he is the most energetic. He had done his own independent online survey on the controversial Len Lye Centre and was there to share the results with councillors.
He sensibly began by saying he would concentrate on the "key outcomes" of the survey.
He went through several slides on the data he'd gathered and he was typically comprehensive, but succinct.
The fun came at question time. There was a degree of pooh- poohing from councillors. Was he disappointed with only getting 375 responses? "Yes, but what would be the basis for the council to ignore the survey findings?"
After more misgivings were aired, Houwers suggested that if the council had reservations about his survey, then maybe it would like to do its own?
It was a poignant moment, but the relatively polite exchanges were quickly shattered when Cr Horse (John McLeod) rode into the debate with both guns blazing. Neither of his guns were aimed at Houwers, however.
They are pretty much on the same side, so it came as no surprise when Cr Horse's colleagues became the target. There was nothing subtle about it either.
It was a statement, with a question tagged on to keep it company. "Was he (Houwers) aware that under section 8, clause 2 of the council's agreement with the Len Lye Foundation that the council could opt out of the centre any time it liked, but councillors didn't have enough guts to . . ."
"Councillor McLeod," interrupted Mayor Harry, "I am not going to allow that. You need to withdraw, or rephrase, your question or I will disallow it!"
"I thought I put it nicely, Your Worship," replied Cr Horse. It was said with a straight face, but Harry, far more battle-hardened than he was two years ago, was having none of it.
Both fired a few more salvos before the question was eventually withdrawn. Christmas it may be, but unlike the warring factions in World War I, when the English and German soldiers called a temporary truce to play a game of football on Christmas Day, no such niceties seem likely here.
There was more questioning of Houwers, but to this writer's horror, my cellphone went off, which meant a quick, embarrassed exit from the council chambers, with a $50 donation to a charity of my choice as per the long-standing protocol - the only redeeming feature of my unforgivable oversight.
Mayor Harry was quick to pounce upon my return, and I have since donated $50 to a worthy cause - the Taranaki Safer Families Centre Trust.
Councillors appeared to enjoy my discomfort, which seemed to contribute to the meeting rediscovering its Christmas spirit.
There wasn't a lot more, and at 5.17pm, that was it for 2012, a mere 47 minutes after the meeting began, it was all over.
Mayor Harry generously wished everybody a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, leaving us to file out for them to go into public excluded.

United States House Passes "No Welfare For Weed" Bill
Category: News | Posted on Thu, September, 18th 2014 by THCFinder
Apparently the United States House of Representatives thinks there is an epidemic of people using welfare money to buy recreational marijuana. I personally haven't heard of anyone doing it in Washington and Colorado. Welfare money is always a hot-button issue in Washington D.C. and throughout America. Late yesterday the House of Representatives passed a bill that would make it harder for people to use welfare money to buy marijuana. Per ABC News:
The House passed a bill Tuesday that could make it a little harder for people to use government welfare payments to buy marijuana in states where the drug is legal.
Supporters call it the "no welfare for weed" bill.
The bill would prevent people from using government-issued welfare debit cards to make purchases at stores that sell marijuana. It would also prohibit people from using the cards to withdraw cash from ATMs in those stores.
A 2012 federal law already prevents people from using welfare debit cards at liquor stores, casinos and strip clubs.
The bill is limited in that it only prevents someone from withdrawing money or making a direct purchase at a marijuana store. To get around the law, all someone has to do is withdraw money from an ATM that is not located at a marijuana store. I have a much more solid way to ensure people aren't using welfare money to buy recreational marijuana – legalize marijuana cultivation for all Americans. If people could grow a few marijuana plants themselves, the need to buy marijuana at stores (with welfare money or otherwise) would be reduced dramatically. But I don't think Congress will go for that. This bill targets marijuana consumers and those on welfare, two areas of American society that politicians love to go after. I don't see them giving up on that anytime soon.
Teen Marijuana Use Continues To Decrease As Marijuana Reform Increases
Category: News | Posted on Wed, September, 17th 2014 by THCFinder
'What about the children?' That's a slogan that Kevin Sabet should wear on a T-shirt every time he travels to speak against marijuana reform for political purposes. Marijuana opponents like Kevin Sabet try very, very hard to make it sound like once marijuana is legalized and regulated, an epidemic of teens using marijuana will immediately follow. While Kevin Sabet can try to make that claim, math and logic don't support it. Per the Washington Post:
Opponents of legalization often argue that it leads to a declining perception of risks associated with marijuana use among teens, which in turn leads to increased rates of adolescent use. But while the latest NSDUH data shows a continued drop in perceived risk of marijuana use among adolescents, overall teen use rates have actually trended slightly downward.
Moreover, teens are also more likely to say that marijuana is difficult to obtain today than they were ten years ago. Taken together, these numbers suggest that evolving public attitudes toward marijuana use haven't made adolescents more likely to use the drug, nor have they made it easier to obtain.
These findings come from the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), an annual, nationally-representative survey of roughly 70,000 Americans aged 12 and older. Because of its large sample size the survey is considered an authoritative account of the nature and scope of drug, alcohol and tobacco use in the United States.
You may notice that those excerpts came from the Washington Post, the same Washington Post that earlier this week made the following claim in an anti-marijuana editorial urging readers to vote no on marijuana legalization in Washington D.C.:
It's not been a year since Colorado became the first state to allow recreational marijuana use and, as the Smart Approaches to Marijuana has catalogued, there have been negative consequences, including increased instances of impaired driving and increased use by youth.
Fortunately for logic and reasoning, but unfortunate for the editorial staff at the Washington Post, teen use has not increased in America since two states legalized marijuana, and specifically, teen use has not increased in Colorado after legalization, which by the way was in 2012, not less than a year ago as the Washington Post stated in the second article I reference. Legalization and regulation makes it harder for teens to get their hands on marijuana, just as legalization and regulation makes it harder for teens to get their hands on tobacco and alcohol. Opponents can try to refute those facts as much as they would like, but when challenged with math and logic, marijuana opponents look quite stupid in doing so.
Girl Suspended From High School For Writing About Marijuana In Journal
Category: News | Posted on Tue, September, 16th 2014 by THCFinder
As a former law student at a private university, and public policy major/legal studies minor as an undergrad, I studied constitutional law quite a bit. I took numerous courses that dealt with freedom of speech and search and seizures. Constitutional law always fascinated me because it's an area of law that affects every American citizen's lives at one point or another. To know constitutional law and how it has evolved over the years is to know the story of America as one of my professors always said.
Constitutional law and marijuana reform are very much connected. A case that highlights that connection is the case of Krystal Grayhorse, a high school student in the Dallas County School District who was suspended for over half a year because she wrote about marijuana in a private journal. She wasn't caught possessing marijuana. She didn't fail a drug test. She didn't write about marijuana as part of a high school assignment. She talked about marijuana in a private journal that she mistakenly left at school one day. When school officials got a hold of the journal and read the entry about marijuana, they decided that was enough to suspend Ms. Grayhorse for over half a school year, jeopardizing her graduation requirements, which will no doubt impact her life for years to come. Below are comments made by the student's father, per Springfield News Leader:
Grayhorse said the notebook passages, which he was told about but never saw for himself, were cause for concern, but the punishment — not being allowed to return to school for seven months — was too drastic. He said the journal was confiscated by the school and has not been returned.
"She had no cannabis on her person," he said. "She gave it to no one."
He said the discipline paperwork sent home from the school stated his daughter was suspended for "possession of a controlled substance," which perplexes him. He said she was not tested for drugs.
"Her 'possession' constitutes writing something?" he asked. "That is the alleged possession?"
It's truly sad that a school district is willing to potentially ruin a student's life because they hate marijuana so much. Yes, there is a heightened level of scrutiny for students compared to adult citizens. But students don't leave their civil rights at the school house door. These were not comments made in a public forum. These were comments made in a journal where there was clearly a high expectation of privacy, and even if not, the journal entry didn't involve actual possession of marijuana, nor did the student fail a drug test. The student wasn't even asked to take a drug test. The school simply saw the word 'marijuana,' freaked out, and instantly went on a mission to prosecute this girl the fullest extent. Shame on the school district. I hope the father sues and the school district has to pay out the nose.

Philadelphia Is Decriminalizing Marijuana Possession
Category: News | Posted on Mon, September, 15th 2014 by THCFinder
The City of Brotherly Love is decriminalizing marijuana possession and public consumption, ending a drug policy that has disproportionately targeted African Americans and Latinos in Philadelphia for decades.
After a long summer of negotiations between Mayor Michael Nutter and supporters of Councilman James Kenney's decriminalization bill, the mayor agreed to sign the legalization measure, which will take effect October 20. Support from Philly cops, African American community organizations, and black media outlets helped forge the decriminalization law that passed 13-3 through the city council — a margin that would have overridden a potential mayoral veto.
"We're the largest city in the US that will decriminalize successfully," said Kenney's policy director Chris Goy. "And in doing so, forged our own path against the state." Marijuana possession is still illegal in Pennsylvania, and lawbreakers are remain subject to arrest, fines, and jail time.
A separate medical marijuana bill is still under consideration in the state legislature, and according to a Quinnicpiac University poll conducted in March, 85 percent of Pennsylvania voters support ending the state's ban of medical pot. But, despite overwhelming support among voters, according to VICE News sources in Harrisburg, the state's capital, the bill will likely fail to become law.
Philly's decriminalization bill makes marijuana possession of less than 30 grams equivalent to a $25 jaywalking ticket. Smoking weed in public is a bit more serious: Anyone caught toking will have to fork over $100 or complete nine hours of community service.
Possession of weed previously carried a $200 fine, plus mandatory viewing of a three-hour video on the dangers of drug abuse. The video is widely considered a joke and ineffective, a symptom of the dysfunctional way the city, state, and country deal with the possession of tiny amounts of weed.

Baltimore Police Publicly Sodomize Man During Drug Search
Category: News | Posted on Fri, September, 12th 2014 by THCFinder
I just read a horrific story out of Baltimore, where a man was cavity searched during a drug search, during which no drugs were found. This is a story that every drug war supporter should be forced to read and explain. This is not the first time someone has been cavity searched during a drug investigation, but it's the first one I've heard of that was done in public for everyone to see. Per The Free Thought Project:
Jermaine Lyons was riding his bike on May 3, 2013 on his way to the park when he was stopped at a store in the 200 block of North Highland Avenue.
According to the lawsuit, police asked Lyons if he had any drugs on him, to which he responded, "no."
However the police did not believe him. Baltimore Police proceeded to pull down this man's pants, spread his legs, and conduct a cavity search in the middle of the sidewalk in full view of passersby, according to the lawsuit.
"It's as simple and outlandish as it appears," said Isaac Klein, attorney for Lyons. Lyons "was embarrassed and outraged."
Stories like this break my heart. This man's life is ruined. Even after he wins his lawsuit, how can he ever shake off the embarrassment and shame of being publicly humiliated like that? If it were me, I know I wouldn't ever be able to face my peers in my neighborhood after they saw something like that happen to me. I hope Mr. Lyons wins so much money that it sends a message to every crooked member of law enforcement in America that this will not be tolerated. Shame on the Baltimore police officers that did this.
Philadelphia Nears Deal to Ease Marijuana Laws
Category: News | Posted on Fri, September, 12th 2014 by THCFinder
People in Philadelphia caught with small amounts of marijuana or smoking it in public may soon face no more than a written citation and a modest fine as the City Council moved Thursday to decriminalize the drug after a reversal by Mayor Michael A. Nutter.
The mayor, who had scoffed at arguments that black men are unfairly targeted in arrests involving marijuana, announced his support of decriminalization this week. He had declined to sign a bill the Council passed in June, saying it needed more study.
Under the measure, which if approved would be effective Oct. 20, people stopped with less than 30 grams of marijuana, about one ounce, will be fined $25, and those caught using it in public will be fined $100 or be required to perform up to nine hours of community service.
In neither situation will violators be arrested, taken to police stations, fingerprinted or left with a criminal record — all of which stigmatize small-time users, making it harder to find and keep jobs or attend college, advocates of decriminalization say.
Of the more than 4,000 arrests in Philadelphia each year for possessing small amounts of marijuana, 83 percent are of blacks or Latinos, said James F. Kenney, a City Council member who sponsored the decriminalization bill.
"It follows you," he said. "If you're young, black and trying to find a job in this economy, it's very difficult. With a criminal arrest, it's impossible. On top of that, you're not eligible for college financial aid and you can't go into the military."
Mr. Kenney said nearly three out of four of those arrested have no previous police record. Moreover, he said, possession is already effectively decriminalized for white residents, whom the police rarely target. "There are no arrests at Phish concerts or fraternity parties," he said.
In August, Mr. Nutter, who is African-American, called that argument "a bogus issue" and an "insult to the community." He denied that the police discriminate against blacks. Arrest rates on marijuana charges are higher for blacks because, the mayor said, there is more police "engagement" in black communities, where most of the city's shootings and homicides take place. Blacks, like whites, want safe neighborhoods without "knuckleheads" smoking marijuana on the corner, the mayor said.
On Wednesday, in an appearance with Mr. Kenney, who is white, the mayor said he would support an amended version of the bill that included a separate civil offense for marijuana use in public. In cases of possession or use, police officers will write a notice of violation and confiscate the marijuana.

Long-time Valley basketball icon Sparr dead at 77
Juniata Valley regularly plays some of the best boys basketball in District 6.
But that wasn't always the case.
"We were just at breakfast, and we talked about a game where Williamsburg beat them 73-8," former Blue Pirate player and coach Don Appleman said. "That was in the mid-50s, late-50s."
Then Ed Sparr came along.
Over the next 30-plus years, Sparr not only transformed Juniata Valley basketball, he was Juniata Valley basketball. Always wearing his trademark green jacket, he won more than 400 games on the boys side, started up the Lady Hornets' girls program and made Valley hoops such a part of the culture in the Alexandria and Petersburg area that the school eventually won a PIAA championship not long after he retired in 1993.
Sparr died Thursday morning after a bout with cancer and other health ailments. He was 77.
"I'm going to miss him," said current Green Hornet coach Ron Anders. "We'd get together after basketball games and talk quite often."
"Ed built that program. He started from scratch, from the ground floor up, and he really put some long hours and sweat and hard work into that program to get it where it got to be and it still is," Appleman said.
Brock Anders was part of the first Hornet team that reached the PIAA finals in 1995, one year before Valley won its only state title under the guidance of Mike Fields. But he came up as a sophomore in Sparr's final year as coach, and said that Sparr made quite an impression on him and on the area.
"He coached my father, Bill, and uncle, Denny, back in the '70s during the longest run into states at Juniata Valley before my team under Fields went further my senior year. To have a connection between my dad and I through basketball was special," said Brock Anders, who coached East Juniata to a Tri-Valley League championship and one-loss campaign this past season.
Sparr went 410-217 in two stints coaching the Hornet boys from 1961-79 and from 1985-93. They won the District 6 championship in 1976 along with six Juniata Valley League crowns.
"He stressed discipline," Brock Anders said, "and made the young players earn every opportunity."
Sparr's teams were known for their 1-3-1 zone defense, strong shooting and solid fundamentals.
"When I was a kid, my memories are of Ed coaching in his green jacket in those classic games with Williamsburg and things like that," Ron Anders said. "When I was in elementary school and I went to see Juniata Valley basketball team, of course, it was Ed."
Sparr was a standout basketball and baseball player – playing hoops for Bill Casper – and the quarterback of the football team at Williamsburg in the 1950s before going on to college at Lock Haven. Over time, he built quite a rivalry on the court with his high school alma mater.
"Ed was respected, because they knew he was a Williamsburg kid. His dad was a golfer and worked at the paper mill. The family was well-known and well-established. I think people respected Ed for what he was trying to do, but they hated to lose to him, I know that," said Appleman, who visited Sparr in the hospital earlier this year. "He was very competitive, and he wanted to win, and he did a good job down there. Anyone you talk to would have said that."
In addition to coaching both Valley varsity basketball teams, Sparr was athletic director at the school, where he taught for more than 30 years, for 12 years. He also coached baseball in the Blair Twilight League.
However, it was the boys basketball team with which Sparr was most identified, even well after his retirement. His son, Brian, is the current Green Hornet junior varsity coach.
"Ed made it to every game he could, and, when he was well, he was at every home game. When I first got hired, he was always available for me. I always respected that," Ron Anders said. "He encouraged me to play as many kids as possible and to develop his bench – that was one thing he wished he'd done more of. When I coached, he'd sit in that same corner, and, when I walked in, when he had something to say, he'd make sure to call me over. He wasn't afraid to speak up."
Ron Anders never got to play for Sparr.
"One of the things I respected about him was that he retired right before the state run that was coming up at our school. He knew what the talent was coming up, and he could have stayed and coached those teams," Ron Anders said. "But he knew it was his time, and he let Fields coach. He could have very easily been selfish there and coached those teams and been very successful."
Sparr was inducted into the Huntingdon County Hall of Fame in 1999. He was chosen as an honorary coach in the fifth annual Altoona Mirror Basketball Classic in 2009.
Sparr is survived by his wife, Barbara, and five children, Kelly, Jeff, Wendy (Glenny), Tammy and Brian, as well as five grandchildren and a sister, Deanna Kavel. Family might have been the one love in his life that surpassed basketball – he first left coaching to follow Kelly as she finished up her playing career at the University of New Mexico.
"He was very much a family man. He would always have his father 'Pappy' Sparr at our games and on the bus to road games," Brock Anders said.
Friends will be received 6-9 p.m. on Tuesday and 1-2 p.m. Wednesday at Petersburg Church of the Nazarene.
"I'll remember him as the guy that brought the modern game to Juniata Valley," Appleman said. "He'll be missed. I know I'll miss him."

Minor Leaguer Nathan Orf did something Sunday that only five Major Leaguers have ever done…play all nine positions in one game.
The Milwaukee Brewers prospect suited up for the Class-A Brevard County Manatees, took the field at catcher and then proceeded to make his way around the diamond. In order, Orf, who spent most of his season at second base, played catcher, first base, second base, third base, shortstop, left field, center field, right field and then, finally, pitcher.
"I had no clue what I was doing up there," Orf said about his stint on the mound. "I was trying to throw strikes and throw them somewhat down in the zone. I was just hoping they didn't hit a home run. Hoppy [third baseman Greg Hopkins] made a great play, and it was a great way to end the game and the season."
In bottom of the ninth, the Florida State League All-Star even took the field as first base coach as the Manatees closed out their season against the Dunedin Blue Jays.
So, what's next for Orf? The 24-year-old is heading to Double-A Huntsville to join the Stars for the playoff push. Not too shabby.
