Below: Stacey Brine and Nicholas Marasco pose following their engagement on April 6. Will Chaster MARPAC PA ROPOSALS can occur in many different ways and places. From mountain tops to scuba dives, and anything in-between; the ways in which one can pop “the question” are endless. P Last week that uniqueness unfolded in dockyard. As Stacey Brine stood at Duntze Head to watch HMCS Chicoutimi sail by, bringing home her boyfriend LCdr Nicholas Marasco after a deployment at sea, she saw an unusual sight. A line of submariners stood on the submarine’s surfaced hull holding up signs that spelled “Will you marry me?” Waiting in the wings to hear the response was Lt(N) John Pischedda. When she said “yes” he hollered to those waiting by the port flag halyard to raise the signal flags spelling out the affirmative response. “I knew something was up,” said Stacey “He’s got a really bad poker face.” When Chicoutimi came alongside C jetty, an eager, grinning LCdr Marasco climbed the gangway and dropped to one knee, in his hands, the traditional box with diamond ring. As the couple embraced the crowd of submariners and onlookers cheered. The two have known each other since age nine and have always kept in touch. “Things just went from there,” says Stacey. Now the couple are reviewing the calendar to pick a date for their wedding It may include a signal flag or two. LCdr Nicholas Marasco proposes to Stacey Brine on C Jetty.

Until you come here and kind of get the sense of living here, I don’t think people understand.

The last two years have been characterized by achievement and change. Our premier event, the 2016 Paralympic Games Sitting Volleyball competition, was a great success in Brazil with enthusiastic spectators and some amazing matches presented by our athletes. The other major competition, the 2016 Intercontinental, was held in China and featured a record number of teams and the best Opening Ceremony of any event to date. In 2017, the Zone Championships were successfully delivered in Croatia (PVE), China (PVAO), Rwanda (PVA) and Canada (PVPA) and the related Zone General Assemblies were conducted with new personnel being elected. Also in 2017 the ASEAN Para Games were held in Malaysia and the Youth ParaPan Am Games in São Paulo, Brazil at which new Youth Volleyball Rules were trialled. A new competition was created and realised in Hangzhou, China - the 2017 World Super 6 for women which featured prize-money for the first time. The latter half of 2017 also saw the beginning of changes to our leadership team with the positions of Chairs of the Commissions and the Technical Delegate for Tokyo 2020 being advertised and Assistant Sport Directors being appointed to achieve refreshment and renewal of our human resources as we plan for the future.
