The way artist Ashley Marazzo sees it, if there are millions of photos of Niagara Falls, there must be millions of stories as well. She can’t share them all, of course, but she’s giving plenty of local residents the chance to relate their own history with the falls for a summer-long community art project.

As Evan Rotella recalls, it was already shaping up to be a stressful week. It’s mid-April and the Niagara singer/songwriter has a gig that night. The next night, he’s performing at the Niagara Music Awards, where he’s nominated for four awards. The day after is an exam for his media and communications course at Brock University. But before all that, he finds himself in a room with other artists in Orillia, fighting for a spot at this year’s Mariposa Folk Festival.

He is the undisputed star of “Major Barbara,” despite the play being named after his daughter.

It wasn’t enough for the universe to send Samantha Ava a sign her life had to change. Not even two signs. By the third time, the Fisherville singer figured she better listen to these wake-up calls. During her teen years, she dove into drugs and alcohol to deal with a “severely traumatic experience.” With her life veering out of control, she flipped her Jeep into a field one night after a party. She walked away with barely a scratch.
