DHAKA, July 5, 2025 (BSS) – A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Bangladesh and the World Ethnosports Union (WEU) to promote traditional sports and cultural cooperation. 

The MoU signing ceremony was held on Friday at the headquarters of the World Ethnosports Union in Istanbul, Turkey, according to a message received here.

The agreement was signed by the Youth and Sports Adviser of Bangladesh, Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain, and the President of the World Ethnosports Union, Necmeddin Bilal Erdogan.

Prior to the signing, the two leaders held a close bilateral meeting where they discussed the importance of traditional games in enriching civilisations and cultures and affirmed mutual cooperation in promoting indigenous sports.

During the meeting, Bilal Erdogan emphasised the vast potential of Bangladesh’s traditional games such as kabaddi, wrestling, “bolikhela”, and boat racing, expressing his keen interest in promoting these sports globally.

 He also expressed interest in incorporating Bangladeshi traditional sports federations as members of the World Ethnosports Union.

Highlighting his involvement in educational initiatives in T?rkiye, Erdogan proposed scholarships, exchange programmes, and subject-based competitions for Bangladeshi students. 

He also expressed interest in establishing a branch of his organisation’s school in Bangladesh.

 Recalling his visit to Cox’s Bazar with his mother, he voiced his willingness to support the organisation of traditional games in Rohingya refugee camps to help ease their hardship through engagement in sports.

Reaffirming T?rkiye’s enduring support for the people of Bangladesh, Erdogan commended the youth and public participants of Bangladesh’s July 2024 mass uprising, noting the significance of cultural and national identity.

He said that under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s leadership, T?rkiye is working to reclaim its cultural dignity and global presence.

In his remarks, the Bangladesh Youth and Sports Adviser noted that since the 2024 mass uprising, Bangladesh has been prioritising strengthening ties with its true and trusted partners, with T?rkiye being a key ally. 

He recalled how T?rkiye has historically stood beside the people of the Bengal Delta during times of crisis. 

He further stated that the uprising has heightened political consciousness among Bangladeshi youth and triggered a revival of interest in civilisational transformation, akin to T?rkiye’s own resurgence of its glorious heritage.

The adviser praised the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, especially for his moral stance on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and support for oppressed Muslim populations across the world. 

He emphasised the need for a strong and effective international alliance to stand against such atrocities and assured Bangladesh’s support and active engagement in this cause.

Asif Mahmud also sought the support of the World Ethnosports Union in the internationalisation of Bangladesh’s traditional games-including kabaddi, dariabandha, bolikhela, wrestling, and boat racing.

Concluding the meeting, the Adviser formally invited Bilal Erdogan to visit Bangladesh for the upcoming Global Youth Summit 2025. 

He expressed hope that this visit would further strengthen and accelerate the strategic partnership between the two nations in the fields of youth, sports, and broader socio-political cooperation.

Olive Orange Pony Bronco 12-and-under baseball all-stars are headed to the super regional beginning Friday in Corona.

The Orange squad clinched a berth in the super regional with a 12-1 victory over Santa Ana Sunday in the regional tournament at Placentia Champions Sports Complex. Olive missed a chance to advance to the regional championship when it lost to Torrance 13-12 later Sunday.

Undefeated Placentia faces Torrance Monday, July 14 at 5 p.m. in the championship game.

“We get to move on from there,” said Manager Shea Shandra after Sunday’s win over Santa Ana. “We have goals for these tournaments and definitely getting to move on to the super regions is a big day for us.

“We actually got to take district, so that let us skip section tournament and now we know we get to move on.”

Orange Olive also defeated South Bay 8-0 before losing to Placentia 12-7 on Saturday. Olive stayed alive with an 11-1 victory over John Mendez from Wilmington on Saturday.

In Sunday’s game vs. Santa Ana, Victor Ayala pitched a five inning no-hitter, striking out six and walking three. Gilbert Ortiz drove in the only run for Santa Ana with a groundout in the first inning.

“A no-hitter for Victor, he’s had another one, he’s our workhorse,” Shandra said.

Ayala also had a three-run home run for Olive during a four-run first inning. Jake Schierberi also had an RBI single in the inning.

Ayala was not aware he had pitched a no-hitter until after the game.

“I’m proud of myself, I didn’t think I could do it against that team knowing that they had a lot of good hitters especially the very top half, they could all hit really well,” he said.

“It’s really nice to see my team go on, maybe we can go past to zone’s like last year, maybe we can go more games in zone if we make it.”

Olive moved ahead 8-1 with four more runs in the second inning. Enrique Triana and Ben Hirsch had RBI singles and Brayden Davis had a sacrifice fly.

Davis put the game out of reach with a three-run home run in the third inning. Davis was 2 for 2 with four RBI and two runs scored.

Leadoff hitter Ethan De La Palma had a double, walked two times and scored three runs; Alexander Velasco had an RBI single and scored a run; Hirsch had two hits and an RBI;Matthew Dayton had a single and scored two runs and Triana had two hits and an RBI.

Santa Ana opened the tournament with a 15-4 victory over Olive Green Wednesday, then defeated East Long Beach 6-5 on Thursday. Santa Ana lost to Torrance 9-5 but stayed alive in the double elimination tournament with a 10-5 victory over East Long Beach Saturday.

Placentia and Torrance will also be moving on to the super regional in Corona.

Voter-approved measure gives millions to Arizona youth, amateur sports every year

Hotel and rental car taxes that pay for the Cardinals’ stadium in Glendale, spring training baseball parks and promote Arizona tourism also fund youth and amateur sports.

Hotel and rental car taxes that pay for the Cardinals’ stadium in Glendale, spring training baseball parks and promote Arizona tourism also fund youth and amateur sports.

This year, $6.3 million is being shared by dozens of groups, including one with plans to make physical movement part of grief support.

One service offered by Billy’s Place in the northwest Valley is peer-support groups for children with a parent, sibling or loved one who has died.

But frustration born out of trauma can keep kids from getting the most out of sessions.

So with grant money from the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority, Billy’s Place will turn an old bathroom in the nonprofit’s future headquarters into a space for blowing off steam.

“It’ll have padded walls. It’ll have a punching bag. A space for kids to let go of those big emotions,” said Kris Friedman, the organization’s executive director.

Grant money will also pay to outfit an outdoor play area at the new Billy’s Place, a feature that does not exist at the current location.

“And this grant is going to turn it into our dream space with stuff for them to climb on a firepit for the parents to sit around,” said Madelyn Vincent, associate executive director.

Voter-approved hotel and bed taxes that fund projects like this one are scheduled to sunset in 2031.

November 20, 1943 – February 20, 2025

In loving memory ~


It is with great sadness that the family of Chuck Wallace, a longtime resident of Nelson, announces his passing on February 20, 2025, at the age of 81.


Chuck was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was pre- deceased by his loving wife of 58 years, Pat Wallace, and survived by sons Chip (Stephanie), Justin (Brenda)


and Christopher. Chuck was a proud, loving grandfather of four: Jackson, Maggie, Jana and Jake, and was a great-grandfather to Mackenzie Ann. Chuck has four surviving sisters: Betty, Linda, Kathryn, and Mary.


Chuck was born in Houghton, Michigan to Robert and Mary Wallace on November 20, 1943. As a child, his family moved to Hibbing, Minnesota. He met Pat in Hibbing, and they were high school sweethearts. Chuck graduated from Oregon State University with majors in Forestry Engineering and Civil Engineering. After college, Chuck and Pat were married and moved to Corvallis, Oregon. They later emigrated to Canada and after forestry jobs in Kitimat, Pemberton, and Campbell River, they settled in Nelson where they found the town and community they loved and wanted to raise their family.


Chuck was a long-time employee of Kootenay Forest Products and spent a lot of time logging in the Lardeau and Meadow Creek area. When KFP closed down, he was a founding member of Timberland Consulting with some other former KFP employees. Chuck loved forestry and logging and working in the woods of the Kootenays.


Chuck was a very devoted father. He was a regular at the rink, ball and soccer fields and on road trips supporting the sports pursuits of his 3 boys. He coached Minor Hockey and was a great supporter of all youth sports in Nelson, doing whatever he could to support fundraisers and travelling near and far with the teams. He was always there for the boys and their teams.


He loved spending time outdoors, getting in as much hunting as he could between sports seasons. He loved hunting, especially duck hunting, and was very active with the local Ducks Unlimited chapter for many years. He loved spending time at the lake, especially with his labs and goldens, Viking, Buck, Mac and Loki, and taking them for walks in the woods behind their house. Later in life, he loved seeing his grandkids, travelling to Florida and Alaska to spend time and go on adventures with them.


Chuck enjoyed woodworking and made many unique pieces for Pat and his kids and grandkids. He liked playing golf and went on a very memorable golf trip to Scotland with his father. He also travelled to Brazil, Finland & Sweden, Germany, Italy and Austria as well as around the U.S. Chuck enjoyed travel and was always up to go somewhere and see something new. More than anything, Chuck was a devoted husband and father and put his family’s needs and well-being above everything else. He was a great example of what a father and a family man is. He was a wonderful person, husband, father, and grandpa, and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.


The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the amazing nurses and staff at Jubilee Manor and Mountain Lakes Senior Center for helping keep Chuck comfortable and safe during his last few years as he battled Alzheimer’s disease.


The family will hold a small Celebration of Life on July 20, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at the beach he loved across the lake in Nelson.
