Hillary Clinton, 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, pauses while speaking during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Philadelphia, Pa., on Thursday, July 28. Division among Democrats was attempted to be overcome through speeches from two presidents, another first lady and a vice president, who raised the stakes for their candidate by warning that her opponent posed an unprecedented threat to American diplomacy.

Donald Trump, 2016 Republican presidential nominee, speaks during the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday, July 21. This evening marked the last night of a four-day Republican National Convention that has been defined by disorderly floor activity, divisions within the party, an allegedly plagiarized speech delivered by the nominee’s wife and scattered protests in the streets of Cleveland.

Outdoor dining on Main Street Princeton City Council looks at drafting policy

By Goldie Rapp grapp@bcrnews.com

PRINCETON — As Princeton’s Main Street continues to thrive with new restaurants offering outdoor dining to customers, the

city council wants to ensure a safe environment among pedestrians.

At the council’s regular meeting Monday, Aug. 1, commissioners discussed the draft of a new sidewalk policy they hope to soon put in place.

Mayor Joel Quiram asked for input or suggestions from fellow commissioners regarding the new policy, which states while current city code prohibits obstruction on sidewalks, Princeton will now allow outdoor dining, sidewalk

sales/displays, temporary events and code compliant sandwich board signs. The policy requires a minimum of 4-foot wide direct pedestrian sidewalk route in front of all businesses.

Establishments providing outdoor dining require a sidewalk agreement with the city, however, businesses with alcohol sales that exceed 50 percent of gross receipts are not eligible for having a sidewalk agreement with city. Dining area shall not occu-

Spring Valley City Council looks to plug a few leaks eengel@bcrnews.com

SPRING VALLEY — The Spring Valley City Council felt a steady flow in its conversation Monday, Aug. 1, as it dealt with drainage issues in the city.

Alderman Ken Bogacz explained a drainage issue at Webster Park to his fellow aldermen, noting there’s a drain tile running through Webster Park that also sits on private property. Flooding has occurred on property at 107

Year 170 No. 93 One Section - 20 Pages

S. Central St., and it is suspected the tile is blocked or collapsed in certain spots, thus preventing proper drainage.

The tile is corrugated metal, and it’s unknown when this tile was installed.

“The major concern we have with this issue is who is responsible for fixing this problem,” Bogacz said, noting city attorney Jim Andreoni will investigate the responsibility issue further due to the private property situation.

should list consequences citizens would face if they refused to follow city ordinances.

Favia also brought up the issue of smoking outside the establishments within the dining area.

While it was mentioned state law requires people to stand 15 feet outside an entrance to smoke, Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said that law only addresses enclosed establishments.

Outdoor From Page 1 “There are some instances where smoking is taking place within 15 feet of the door on Main Street,” Quiram said. ‘It’s something we obviously need to address.”

Favia mentioned adding to the policy that smoking should be done 15 feet away from the outside dining area.

Commissioner Jerry Neumann said the issue should be discussed with the establishment owners to see if smoking has been an issue and if so, see how they’re handling it.

Quiram also mentioned talking with the cities of LaSalle and Peru — both cities offer outdoor dining to citizens— to see how they handle the smoking issue.

Walnut From Page 1 Also as part of the festival, Jamison and Smith discussed with the board the procedures necessary to obtain a short-term beer license from the village in order to have a beer wagon as part of the event.

Village Clerk Tiffany Pistole informed them there is a temporary beer license available and obtaining this license requires the purchase of dram shop insurance and a bond. Upon presenting these two items to Pistole, and completing the necessary application, the license would be issued. She also stated there is no cost for the license.

Jamison and Smith further stated their group wants to rent a large tent to be erected either on Jackson Street, generally located behind the Village Hall, or in the alternative, erecting the same tent on Main Street for the duration of the celebration, effectively closing at least a portion of that street. The two also stated they have been talking to the fire department to ascertain what objections, if any, that department would

Quiram said on a recent trip to Alexandria, Va., he noticed several establishments with outdoor dining up and down the streets. He said when asking about the outdoor dining to one of the establishment owners, he learned it was a requirement for all businesses to put a border around the outdoor dining area — whether it be within a roped-off area or some type of fencing. He said having the outdoor dining within a border was meant to help protect pedestrians on the sidewalks.

“It keeps everyone within the confines of the corridor, and it didn’t matter whether the place served alcohol or not,” he said. “We need to look at that, as well.”

Comment on this story at www.bcrnews.com. have to a tent in the Jackson Street location. The Chamber’s preference is to use the Main Street location but does understand the traffic problems this might create.

The board requested some additional information be obtained regarding the tent and that this information be presented to the board at its Sept. 6 meeting. Specifically, the board would like to know the size of the tent and if the tent is erected entirely in the street, how would it be anchored. Jamison and Smith agreed to obtain this information and will be attending the September meeting.

In other business, Walnut Police Chief Glenn Lawson presented a copy of the ordinance addendum for the parking of for sale vehicles on village streets. This addendum was approved at a previous meeting, and the copy is for the board members’ retention.

Lawson also stated he had been able to find an ordinance already in effect regarding the parking of vehicles weighing over 12,000 on village streets. Those vehicles are only permitted to be parked for pick-up and delivery purposes.

Flow From Page 1 “In the mean time, city workers are to do some exploratory work to determine the extent of the problems with the existing drainage tile.”

Once approval is gained from the property owners, Andreoni will write up a contract explaining the exploratory work, and the situation will be discussed down the road so solutions can be developed. Bogacz said an alternative option is to run drain tile south through a farmer’s field, eliminating the need for the tile through Webster Park.

“Another option would be for the city to install a storm sewer west of Oak Street. The approximate cost of that would be between $85,000 and $95,000, plus easement costs,” Bogacz said, noting Chamlin and Associates is looking into the 18-inch diameter pipe that would stretch 600 feet.

higher than Richetta’s estimate, discussions of how to reduce the cost are taking place.

The alderman also discussed how to solve and further avoid damage caused to the Crowley property due to well flushing. Although some of the alderman countered with ideas or conflicting opinions on the severity of the situation, Marini said the well flushing ruined a man’s yard, no two ways about it, due to excessive amounts of flowing and resting water — and they are motivated to fix the situation for one of their residents.

Richetta said he didn’t want to see the project done twice, so everyone is proceeding logically.

“Until we’re 100 percent sure we’re done flushing our well water down there, I wouldn’t even suggest we widen that ditch, reseed it and expect it to hold again,” Richetta said, which led into the determination the topic would be tabled for further discussion.

additional items are added.

Bogacz said if they didn’t build a garage, they could continue leasing and build something in the future.

Mayor Walt Marini recently found out Spring Valley will not be getting the full $9,500,000 grant from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but only 75 percent of the total project cost for the WWTP. Even if they decide to build a garage they will have to navigate their financial course to accommodate the available funds in relation to the necessary projects. Bogacz said there was a shortfall of funds to complete the project, but if another loan is needed, they have an available option at 1.8 percent interest.

Mike Richetta, one of the city’s engineering experts, said three bidders were all fairly close for the Ladd Road channel repair at the Crowley property; with John Pohar and Sons, Inc., of LaSalle coming in lowest at $34,650. He said the contractors were all concerned with doing work on private property, and although the bids came in

of all the items taken out of the original plans, he said the garage was still under consideration for inclusion, mainly to store city vehicles and have an ongoing garage ports operation.

“The three options being considered were building a garage originally as was in the plans for the WWTP; build a bigger garage located at the city barn; or do nothing and build something at some point in the future,” Bogacz said, adding River City Construction had to rebid the project due to possible inclusion of the garage again. “That project cost came in at $365,299; after review, some items were eliminated or changed, such as different doors, different lighting, removing the restroom and removing the painting — that reduced the project by $57,661, leaving a total cost of $307,638.”

The prospective garage at the city barn would be built within the fenced area of Well No. 10. Superintendent of Public Works Jeff Norton received a bid of $185,300 for a 60-by-120foot building, but will get an updated estimate if

Interstate 80 crash; 3 fatalities confirmed OTTAWA — A six-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 resulted in three fatalities and the westbound lane closed for half a day.

According to a release by the Illinois State Police District 17, a six-unit crash took place on Interstate 80 near Mile Marker 93 at 1:10 p.m. Aug. 1.

The preliminary investigation indicated the crash was caused due to traffic slowing for construction work. A fully loaded gravel/rock hauler failed to reduce speed and began the crash sequence by striking a passenger vehicle — pinning it under a truck tractor semi-trailer directly in front of the passenger vehicle. Two occupants were killed in the passenger vehicle.

A fire ensued, burning the cab of the gravel hauler and the passenger vehicle. All three vehicles continued traveling westbound and struck a full-size truck carrying tires, and the tire truck was forced into a truck tractor semi-trailer combination. Another fire ensued, and the driver of the tire truck was killed.

The semi-trailer combination then struck a large railroad repair truck. No additional injuries were reported, and the driver of gravel hauler was treated and released.

Autopsies were completed Aug. 2, and next of kin notifications have been made. Further forensic dental record examinations are being conducted to confirm the identity of the deceased occupants.

All westbound lanes of traffic were closed from the time of the accident to 10:15 p.m. that evening. The investigation continues with all available resources.

Serving Bureau County Since 1847

A trip down Route 56 The lights drop, and we join each other on stage.

There are two ways of going about it. You either get an assignment, or you think one up. I think this one was a combination of both, but there I sat on the couch with a vivid individual, full of generous camaradeEric rie and a story to be Engel told. I was in Festival 56, and the last time COMMENTARY I frequented that building they called it the Bureau County Republican.

Sensational in her offer of information, Shannon asked, are you coming to see a show? And how could an honest man deny, even less the sinner. It was called “Violet,” and a gal carried on about the weight of the music, but had failed to stop and examine the notes.

She did so in such a brilliant way; they all did … such that it made every heart stand for the grand finale, and all that came before.

There was a sway on milk crates, a twang in the voice of each preacher that owned the scene. Remarkable talent took turns broadcasting pure depth, through scripted theatrics made of flared gestures and voices that give glass the shakes. My smile rested in the rafters of my applause.

Fellas and Stell’s, they welcomed me to the casino, and then tossed my senses like a midnight roll of the dice. See, I grew up in many fine sanctuaries, but Broadway was never really one of them. It is not that I had been guided away from such performance; it had just never struck me as something I would cherish. Like a boat that turns into the falls … boy, was I wrong.

There was a movie in front of me, being personified through brilliant social animation. Stories were told within stories, and I think I saw two slips … Two! Of a tear, down my cheek, there was such sentimental activity in the scene before me. Alright, maybe four … maybe more.

As for laughter, we were a grand piano in the audience, hitting every note along the ivory float. The crowd held young and old alike, seasoned vets of the Grand Ole Opry and those like me, having last experienced a stage presence like Route 56 when I was in grade three, putting on the Tiskilwa Christmas play. I mean, they are pretty similar.

To every actor and actress; every shooting star who swooped low enough to grace the stage on Princeton’s Main Street; to each friend I found simply by arriving a few different nights ... you were all beyond me. The roar you brought for us backyard slow rollers, it lit up everything in us that celebrates. Your moves were like marbles skipping down a river. Smooth hop.

Your spotlight characters were preceded only by the character of your interaction. Madtown, Samson, Al, the names that know … there is now a place in my heart for your presence, all the globe over.

Thank you for bringing into my life and this community such an energetic string of performances. They spun like curveballs from the Yankee mound, and landed like truth after an argument. It is obvious you are a family of believers, faithful to the arts, intent on gifting us something that, frankly, we just do not see without traveling. Home is where the heart leaps.

I went to Festival 56 for the first time this year, and shall now go every year I am in the area. Every second was enjoyable, and I felt like a fly on the wall, a piece of furniture in the room, holding the emotion of dance and exaggeration. The actors had a global perspective, able to take us far from the actual setting, into a land where dramatics are the native tongue and authenticity lingers on every line.

I’m so glad those two interviews landed in my lap, because they resulted in something more than I had ever experienced before. I never met a crew like all you before this summer, and it gave me the expanse I had been needing, right as I had needed it. For a few extended moments, the canvas flapped back like a dream unfolding, and we witnessed the festival lights.

Truly, bravo. We await the encore.

TO Letters THE Editor

He had our backs ...

To the Editor, I seldom have trouble coming up with words for any given situation.

However, I am at somewhat of a loss today as I am fearful I can’t adequately express how profoundly saddened everyone here at the Peru Police Department is as I formally announce that Peru Police Sgt. Jason Brokaw is leaving his service with our agency.

In 2003, while chief of police in Spring Valley, I recruited Jason away from the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office, and Jason joined SVPD as a patrol officer. After becoming chief here in Peru, one of the first things I put on my “to do” list was to steal

Jason away from Spring Valley. I knew that his raw talent as a police officer, his firm sense of loyalty, his ability to perform under crisis and most importantly his unique personality and sense of humor would serve him, our department and me very well. Jason joined the department in 2008 and in just five years, Jason was promoted to police sergeant. It is one of the many great promotions I had input in at such a great and talented organization.

Jason is retiring from the job, not of his choosing but because of an illness that has left him paralyzed. It would be impossible to share the genuine sadness that we all have for Jason, his

wife and his children, as they face, no doubt, the biggest challenge of their lives. Our sadness is somewhat softened as we know Jason and know that he can, he will and does persevere in the face of adversity.

Jason Brokaw may be leaving our department as part of the day-today operation but we know he will be forever a part of what we do.

He is a great police officer. More importantly, he is a great man and a great friend to us all.

We love you Jason. Thanks for always having our backs!

‘A more inclusive, just America’ To the Editor, I appreciate reporter Goldie Rapp and the BCR for the attention they’ve recently paid to national and local discussions about the relation between police and black Americans, past and present (“The National Divide ...” BCR, July 26). I especially appreciated her column (“A black mark in our nation’s history,” BCR, July 28, referencing the police beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles 25 years ago. I worked in South Los Angeles at the time and witnessed the despair and destruction that ensued in the 1992 riots, following the acquittal of the white police officers charged in the case.

The tension between local police and minority communities that are disenfranchised, politically or economically, has indeed been long standing. And a history of organized protest has gone along with it. However different today’s Black Lives Matter phenomenon may be from the 1960s civil rights movement, they are both black-led grassroots movements for justice and equality.

And both have demanded the attention of the larger society.

I think about a young black friend of mine who talked earlier this summer about how she fervently hoped white people would, after seeing footage of the police shootings of Philando Castile in St. Paul and Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, finally understand the pain, anger and frustration of black Americans.

Soon after that, a young white reporter in Princeton was trying to understand and write about the Black Lives Matter movement and get some responses from the local Peace and Justice Roundtable.

In the midst of this came Dallas.

In the wake of another tragedy – this time white police officers killed while trying to protect protesters decrying police brutality against black people – racial lines and entrenched assumptions blurred.

The families of black men killed by police and the families of white police killed on duty immediately shared at least one thing: Grief at the loss of loved ones shot to death.

There are seeds of hope rising out of this particular American summer of violence. More people are recognizing that, despite significant reforms in some urban police departments (Los Angeles and Dallas, interestingly), police brutality against black Americans persists.

And, the recent killings and assaults against police officers have made it clearer to law enforcement skeptics that trying to protect and serve local communities is often a difficult and dangerous job.

At the memorial service for the slain Dallas police officers, President Obama exhorted Americans to recognize their shared humanity, whether their impulse has been to identify with the police or with Black Lives Matter protesters.

Our President believes that “we are not as divided as we seem.” If so, I think it is engaged young people of all races who will ultimately lead us across the divide to a more inclusive, just America.

Sarah Cooper Princeton

Applause for ‘serious societal issues’ To the Editor, On July 26, a news article headlined, “The national divide” by Goldie Rapp appeared on the front page of the BCR. The article dealt with the Black Lives Matter movement and various issues of race in the U.S.A. It also included coverage of a “Coffee with a Cop” session sponsored by the Princeton Police Department and moderated by Chief Tom Root. After the session, the reporter interviewed members of the Princeton Peace and Justice Roundtable. I was one of those interviewed.

Two days later, the BCR printed

a Letter to the Editor from Linda Murphy, who characterized the article as “a slanted and inflammatory editorial.” It was none of that. It provided readers with background information on the Black Lives Matter movement, an account of the “Coffee with a Cop” session and the aforementioned interviews. Any opinions expressed were those of the interviewees, not the reporter or BCR editors.

Ms. Murphy stated that comparing the 1960s civil rights movement to Black Lives Matter is an outrage, revealing “willful ignorance and/or

purposeful denial of truth.” It would appear she feels Black Lives Matter is a sham, or at least, is somehow less legitimate than the 1960s movement. Of course, she is entitled to her opinion, which I’m sure the BCR will allow her to explain.

It’s not often that serious societal issues are addressed on the front page of small local newspapers like the BCR. The paper’s management and Mrs. Rapp are to be commended, and I hope to see more such articles.

Larry J. Smith Princeton

Missing the Flags of Freedom To the Editor, I was heading north out of town the other day, and as I crossed over the interstate, I felt a pang of sadness.

Why? No Flags of Freedom flying. Not one.

We see our Stars and Stripes everywhere. Some of the smallest are the lapel pins worn by politicians. Many of those don’t even have 13 stripes, but we still all know it’s our grand old flag. I’m a teacher, and every day, I see our flag atop my building’s flagpole outside my

window. There’s one up on the wall of my classroom. My favorite one is the one made by my students every year in August with their blue and red hand prints. Our flag is at courthouses and post offices, car dealerships, sports arenas and homes out in the country. I even remember watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin unfurl one on the moon. But at Interstate 80’s Exit 56, no flags.

Earlier this year, there were several articles and Letters to the Editor in the BCR about our Flags of Free-

dom. Who should pay for them?

Four flags? One flag? Should we have them at all? I would suggest that our flag is the flag of freedom and should by waving atop those four poles.

I understand our huge and majestic flags are expensive to fly and properly maintain. But why have the flagpoles with no flags flying at all?

Smaller flags would be less expensive but just as majestic. And a lot more stunning than four empty flagpoles.

Alan Davis of the People’s Church gets to second base about the same time as the ball does and was able to knock the ball out of the glove of Bunker Hill’s Bryson Oeder in Monday’s Princeton Fastpitch Church League Tournament at West Side Park. Bunker Hill won to advance to Friday’s quarterfinals.

Longtime ump recognized

By Kevin Hieronymus khieronymus@bcrnews.com

The Princeton Fastpitch Church League honored longtime umpire Keith Dickinson for his years of service Monday, Aug. 8, at West Side Park.

Dickinson has retired after 39 years working for the city of Princeton and will be moving to Tennessee in October. He’s umpired Church League games since 1992. He has also taken care of preparation of the field for game nights.

Dickinson was surprised with a special recognition between games Monday. He received a trophy from

league president Rex Lasson, recognizing Dickinson as the “Super Ump” for his 25 years of service and dedication to the Fastpitch Church League.

“Keith’s effort and dedication for our league spanned 25 years as lead umpire. What is mostly unknown was that Keith exclusively prepared the field for that night’s game that we played during that time. No matter what the weather, including times of oppressive heat and humidity, he would drag the field early in the day so the sun could bake it dry from the previous evening downpour,” Lasson said.

St. Bede Academy will have a new tennis coach in place when fall practices start up next week for the 2016 season.

Josh Theisinger was hired at the past board meeting as the new girls and boys tennis coach. He replaces Mike Lau, who resigned.

Theisinger is a former LaSalle-Peru High School tennis player, who played both doubles and singles over his four-year career.

“We are very excited to bring Josh onto our coaching staff for his experience, love of the game, and our belief that he will pass on that desire to play great tennis to our student-athletes while bringing success to both of our programs,” SBA athletic director Tom McGunnigal said.

• St. Bede meeting: The St. Bede athletic meeting for all student-athletes and parents will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9, in the gym. All student-athletes and parents, regardless of which sport season they participate in, are to be in attendance at the meeting.

Bima takes National Pastime north of the border Logan Bima grew up on the ball fields in Princeton playing for his dad’s youth teams and later in area travel leagues, St. Bede Academy and IVCC. He’s now taking our national pastime across the borders to Canada.

Bima, 21, is playing for the Medicine Hat Mavericks (Alberta, Canada) of the Western Major Baseball League, which is regarded as Canada’s preeminent summer collegiate baseball league. He had planned on trying to find a team in Illinois to play for, but was steered to Medicine Hat from his coach at Upper Iowa University.

The WMBL, a wooden bat league,

Kevin Hieronymus HIERONYMUS’ HYPOTHESIS

boasts a long standing tradition of creating a showcase for top Canadian professional and college prospects while offering American college players like Bima the opportunity to hone their skills in front of enthusiastic baseball fans in towns and cities throughout the Canadian Prairies.

“The coaches are all Canadian, and it’s run like a professional team,” Bima said. “We have three different sets of uniforms and have a clubhouse. We take charter buses to games, and stay in hotels on road trips. It’s a long and tiring season, but it gives you the feel of how it would be to play professionally.”

There are 16 Americans on the Mavericks’ 22-man roster, coming from all over the U.S., mixed in with six native Canadians. Bima said the Mavericks’ games average between 500 to 700 fans each night from all ages who really get into the games.

MudCross Challenge Aug. 13 at Sunset Ridge MX WALNUT — Registration is still open for the Perry Memorial Auxiliary MudCross Challenge.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13, at Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut.

This challenge is a three-to-four mile muddy obstacle course where participants run, walk, climb, crawl and slide their way through to the finish line. There is also a “Fun Run” for

children, ages 5-12.

Registratiion is available online at www.mudcrosschallenge.com or register at the event. All proceeds go to the Perry Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

“People are very polite up here, and the town is pretty clean for its size (65,000),” Bima said. “It’s cool to have little kids and their parents wanting you to sign balls, hats, gloves and stuff. Kids also go crazy if you throw them a ball or give them a broken bat,” Bima said.

There are 12 teams in the WMBL split evenly between the Western (Alberta) and Eastern (Saskatchewan) divisions. The Mavericks (30-17) finishing second in the West, three games behind the Okotoks Dawgs (33-14), The Mavericks swept the first round best 3 out of 5 series over the Lethbridge Bulls Tuesday night.

Their first two wins came via walk-off hits in extra innings.

While the Mavericks didn’t have to make the 14-hour trip to MacMurray, Alberta, this year, they often have to travel six hours to play ball, Bima said.

Bima said the caliber of baseball is pretty similar to the collegiate league he played in Colorado last summer since there’s so many Americans playing there.

“The ball flew all over the place in Colorado, but the ball doesn’t carry like that here. These are stadiums and not just fields,” he said.

Bima, who is playing first base for the Mavericks, homered in his very first game on Canadian soil.

He stands second on the team in homers (4) and among the team leaders in RBIs (29). He had a walk-off hit on July 23 in front of the home crowd against Lethbridge (visit @ bcrsportsed on twitter for this link: https://twitter. com/search?q=Logan%20 Bima&src=typd). He also homered in the July 23 game.

He was a featured guest on the Mavericks insider TV show, and talked about learning the game playing with his dad back home in Princeton, Ill., and being able to connect with his dad. He described his hometown as “nice place to grow up.”

Logan Bima is playing first base for the Medicine Hat Mavericks. He was the toast of the town (left) when he had a walk-off hit July 23.

Bima’s role on the show was to teach the host how to hit a baseball. He said when it comes to hitting, you can’t be afraid to fail, because even the best hitters only get a hit three out of 10 times.

“It’s not the easiest thing to do, but for some reason it’s a lot of fun doing it,” he said. “It’s best not to think and to just do and you build instinct off that.”

When it comes to hitting homers, Bima said it always “feels good to jog around the bases rather than to run at full speed because obviously I don’t like to run.”

Here is the link to that TV show: https:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v=a-hMYbsB9so&sns=em Bima and his fellow Americans are still learning the ways of life in Canada.

“The biggest surprise to me is the usage of coins instead of dollar bills for one and two dollars,” Bima said. “They have the Looney, $1 and the Tooney, $2. Otherwise they have the regular 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100s. They also round to the nearest five cents so either 5.80 or 5.85 for example. There is no. 5.83 or odd number, unless you pay with a card.”

It’s also taken awhile to get use to driving around with the metric system

with speed limits and distances shown in kilometers, Bima said, and paying for gas in liters.

And then there’s all the “ehs” thrown out in every day conversations. “’Hey’ and ‘eh’ get used a lot as well as saying ‘sorry’ for no reason,” Bima said.

“They use Cs in certain spellings like defence instead of defense and centre instead of center.”

However you say it, or spell it, Bima is enjoying his time playing the game he loves north of the border. He will return to the States when the playoffs are complete, transferring for his senior year to Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa.
