Dan Clark's career flourishes at Illinois State

It’s been 14 months since Livermore native Dan Clark left the University of Northern Iowa football staff to accept a position at Illinois State University. You could say he got out of his comfort zone. Now, looking back, he’s excited about his new surroundings. Clark, a 1991 Twin River Valley High School graduate and former Simpson College quarterback, is settling into his role as offensive line coach for the Redbirds and head coach Brock Spack. Clark, who has had other coaching stops at Simpson College (Indianola), Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge and the University of Iowa, is excited about the future of his career and his family in the central Illinois community of Normal/Bloomington. “It was another opportunity to build my resume and work with great people like coach Spack and his staff and continue to develop as a football coach,” Clark said. “It’s a new place and a new opportunity. I had been in Iowa my whole life.

Community Foundation offers $96K to non-profits

Last Wednesday night, the Humboldt County Community Foundation’s board of directors handed out checks totaling $96,515.50 for 21 different projects or causes. An additional $5,500 was awarded to the Humboldt County Food Pantry from the John and Geraldine Miller Fund for the Less Fortunate. The awards presentation was done in the meeting room at Rustix. Andy Lemmenes, Foundation President, said the grant funds come from state gambling proceeds that are distributed to each county without a gambling establishment. Lemmenes said 75 percent of the funds must be given to various projects in the county each year. The remaining 25 percent goes into an endowment fund. Currently, that fund has $640,000 in it in Humboldt County. He said the public can give gifts to the endowment. “It’s a way to make sure your gift goes to benefit Humboldt County,” Lemmenes said.
