We were at full capacity in Vernon Hills and there was no more land to add on. We realized we were going to have to build another distribution center to keep up with growth.

I think if we can get past Mount Vernon, we have a chance at Breese. I think we can cause them some problems and make a good game out of it. That may be a team that takes us for granted, and that may not be a good idea.
Kris Kleeman
We saw some guys at the (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) Media Day -- Rodney (Hughes) and Vernon (Edwards) -- and we talked. There are no ill feelings. I'm looking forward to seeing them. I'm thinking about giving a chest bump to Larry Summers. He and I used to do that all the time.
Pete Adrian
The Vernon Parish Storefront is one of the outreach offices being established in severely impacted parishes. We'll work with the local leadership and residents, the LRA and other state and federal agencies to develop a set of essential recovery tools to enable the community to define and plan their recovery.
Brad Gair
[? In Mount Vernon, the sixth-grade will move from the elementary schools to the middle school next year.] Regardless of (what grade) they move into the middle school, we cannot discontinue the nurturing, ... Young people during this age are seeking identity; they need to be supported.
Brenda Smith
Mount Vernon has always been very supportive of the program.
Mayor Richard Mavis
I threw it to Vernon [Well]) first pitch where he kind of sat back there and took it, ... He looked in the dugout and then looked at me, and I said, 'Might as well.'
Scott Kazmir
We're glad that the quality of our work has attracted attention around the state, but we're particularly happy to be able to help draw people to wonderful area attractions like the Dan Emmett Music & Arts Festival. Mount Vernon and Knox County have so much to offer.
Matt Starr
God has opened up the door for me to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I began attending Mt. Vernon at the age of 5. When my mother changed churches I had to move on but I have always loved Rev. James Netters' preaching and I returned to Mt. Vernon when I was 18.
Bishop Marcell Wright Jr
We don't leave the district without a crew. Cedar County does, but we don't. We won't take a transfer unless there is a crew ready to answer the call if someone needs an ambulance here in Vernon County. These are the people we serve and we won't leave them without protection.
James Mckenzie
He's a weapon. As the season went on, we started to do more and more things for him. We had to be convinced this wasn't a fad. But without him we wouldn't have 15 wins or be in a position to challenge Mount Vernon.
Spencer Mayfield
I think (Mount Vernon) showed you how strong you have to be to come to this point. At one point I think they just decided they were going to shove us out of the way and go get everything and they did.
Dave Doemel
Vernon Jordan is an individual who I understand helped Monica get an interview with a public relations firm in New York where she was eventually going to -- and may still -- park herself as an entry-level intern or apprentice, or whatever they call it in that trade.
William Ginsburg
There are bottlenecks in Vernon Hills that we wanted to address in the new facility. Along with new technology, we wanted to implement the best practices in distribution today.
Doug Eckrote
It was the exact opposite of the way we finished against South. We stay poised and confident. If we had played that way in the fourth quarter against South and the last four minutes against Mount Vernon (58-54 loss Jan. 20), we'd be in first place. I think as low as we were after South, we needed a comeback win like this to prove to ourselves we could close out games.
Larry Eberst
Mount Vernon has over 1,000 registered voters. And the votes at town meeting usually brings out 65 to 75 people on average. Sometimes at the beginning there may be 80 or 85 people but by the time 31/2 hours has gone by, there's only about 45 to 50 people voting.
Bruce Inch
You hate to lose, but it's a great opportunity to play Mount Vernon and give them a little run for their money. We just couldn't stop them down the stretch, but I'm proud of the way we played and I couldn't ask for more.
Kevin Buono
Mount Vernon is supposed to be pretty good. They played some pretty tough teams last season. Their schedule was pretty tough.
Anna Kramer
I was afraid of this game because they kids really want the rematch with Vernon Hills.
Gerald Coleman
Our first focus is on whether we're getting defensive intensity. Mt. Vernon was probably the best game we've played this year. We got beat by six but held a quality opponent to 35 points on their home floor. But in terms of development our offense is behind the defense so that's why we spent 90 minutes of our Sunday practice working on nothing but offense.
Marty Manfredo
We had a little incident after Friday's game (against Mount Vernon). My punishment was to do a couple of things and I did them. We had an incident Tuesday (at practice) and (Miller) told me I was done.
Manual Cass
They looked like a strong running team against Mount Vernon. They have some real talent on the line and have some good running backs ... they look much improved from last year.
Dick Abrams
Mount Vernon started to come back a little bit there. But I think our girls did a good job keeping composure, that's something we have struggled with this season. Then we made our free throws down the stretch when we had to have them.
Kris Kleeman
We are here to serve the people of Vernon County. We respond to an emergency call immediately and a crew is called to come in as backup. We don't wait because taking that call is our primary purpose. A transfer is different, it takes us out of our area.
James Mckenzie
For tomorrow to be successful we're going to need the continued support and growth of our membership and our community. Our vision is that downtown Mount Vernon and the Central Business District will be the choice for shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation and tourism in Ohio.
Jason Murray
This was a good win. Mount Vernon hasn't played against the option ahead of time and that was the big difference. They tried to defend us in different way. We figured they would try to mimic our game from last week and they did. We worked on it as well. We weren't looking for any one thing to exploit. We just wanted to work hard and get better ourselves. We did a good job of that.
Matt Godsil
There is a conflict between the testimony of Monica Lewinsky and Vernon Jordan, ... Miss Lewinsky says in a particular meeting that Mr. Jordan -- where they discussed about notes that she had been keeping, and Mr. Jordan said go home and make sure they are not there. Mr. Jordan denies that.
Asa Hutchinson
Central Crossing beat us last year and they beat Mount Vernon last week, so on paper it should be a really even match. Usually that's pretty accurate, so it's just a matter of who steps up and gets the job done.
George Crooks
We got what we wanted out of our scrimmages. They were both different styles of teams as Brownsboro was big and strong and wanted to run right over us and Mt. Vernon was big and strong and had lots of speed.
Mark Bachtel
Vernon and his wife have a professional magic show that they perform four or five nights a week in one of the casinos on the strip. The last time I talked with him, he also had a [national] scouting service for high-school players. I've taught and coached so many good people.
Jerry Peden
There are some references to Vernon by his first name and a hint that he was helping her get a job.
Clinton Case
God called me to preach when I was 21 years old but I ran off into the world for all the wrong reasons. I learned so much from Rev. Netters and he was always there for me. I attended Crichton College in the early '90s and was licensed and ordained by Rev. Netters at Mt. Vernon in 1998.
Bishop Marcell Wright Jr
Mount Vernon is a good team and their record really doesn't dictate or portray what they're all about.
Kami Roeder
When I took the job it was like walking in a dark room because I had been at Mount Vernon for so long I didn't know anything else. The first day of practice I had three players in the gym, and to end the season like this is like a Hollywood movie.
Al Visconti
California is the number one state we sell to, even though our headquarters is in Vernon Hills. As our business has grown, it became apparent we needed to be closer to our customers.
Doug Eckrote
We go all over Vernon County and some of the surrounding area to get donations. Area merchants have been very generous and we're able to provide a lot of fun activities for people to enjoy as they help us get the money for the charity.
Stacey Pursley
[Last year's 4-14 mark was disappointing for Vernon-Verona-Sherrill and coach Frank Mitchell.] I expect a much stronger showing, ... Since the season ended last year we've worked real hard in the off-season and come a long way.
Frank Mitchell
I can't imagine it wouldn't be more successful than last year. And with the Fair being centered around the Beach, it's possible for almost everyone to get involved. In order to get anywhere on campus you'll have to cross through the Fair. Additionally, it ties the entire area together, even places Mt. Vernon.
Jeff Russell
We're not out of it by any means, but we don't have total control now like we would have if we had beaten Mount Vernon. For all practical purposes, if we lose another, it's over. We've got to take care of business and hope the chips fall in our favor now.
Larry Eberst
He's better than most people think he is. I think some schools have the draw where people go out and watch them, like Mount Vernon or White Plains, and (Lincoln) doesn't have that. But I'll tell you, this kid can play. I don't think there's any doubt he's a Division I basketball player.
Anthony Nicodemo
The thing that is so great about Vernon is that he doesn't think another human can bring him down. I'm trying to get our other guys over there to protect him.
Ralph Friedgen
Vernon was a few years older than me, but both of us always had an interest in cars.
David Bryant
We had some big plays. This isn't the normal Vernon team you see with the three yards and a cloud of dust ? although we had clouds of dust today.
Chuck Tepper
I was basically kicked off the team. There was an incident after the Mount Vernon game [on Friday]. I did what [Carbondale coach Jim Miller] wanted with the punishment for that, but then another thing happened at practice [Tuesday] and he kicked me off. I haven't talked to him since.
Manual Cass
Whiskey production became an important part of the history of George Washington's business activities at Mount Vernon when he built a successful distillery after he left the presidency.
