Dwayne Brown is finding out what people love most about Ottawa, one snapshot at a time.
Five things about Dwayne Brown A portrait of a Hintonburg photographer
Story and photo by Ted Simpson
“What do you love about Ottawa?” That’s the question Hintonburg photographer Dwayne Brown has been asking people all across the city over the past year for a personal project he has created and simply titled, LoveOttawa. Brown appears, seemingly out of thin air, from the back of the
Hintonburg Public House. “Through the kitchen, across the alley and up the fire escape, that’s my studio,” he explains. The area around Wellington and Fairmont is Brown’s home and base for his business as a corporate and commercial photographer. LoveOttawa is an idea Brown created to fend off the doldrums. “Things generally quiet down in the summer,
I don’t really like being quiet or slow, so I wanted a side project that I could do some portraits that were a little more street based,” he says. He’s been doing photography for 31 years, 15 of them in Ottawa. Brown came here from Edmonton to experience a different part of Canada and decided to stick around. For his current project, Brown sets Continued on page 4

Cyclists slow to adopt new lanes
Your Retirement – Are you Rolling the Dice?
Signage coming soon for new raised cycle track on Churchill Ave.
By Neil McKinnon
Many area residents are already aware that Churchill Avenue has been a hotspot of extensive road construction for most of the summer, causing major delays, community cut throughs, and the occasional bus detour. Part of this busy street opened to vehicles recently, but one of its best attributes hasn’t received much notice from cyclists so far. Churchill Avenue is the first Ottawa road to have a new raised bike lane, a feature also referred to as a cycle track. The cycle track is intended to separate bicycles from vehicular traffic both vertically by a curb, and horizontally, by a buffer space. Once the whole length of the road is completed, it will quickly and safely feed cyclists from Carling Avenue to Scott Street and to every point in between. It is estimated that 12,000 cars use Churchill Avenue every day. For many people, the raised area may just look like a very wide sidewalk, but the track is visually distinct from the sidewalk, which is intended for pedestrians. The area intended for cyclists is black asphalt, whereas the pedestrian portion is grey concrete. The new cycling track running south of Clare and Churchill Avenue is nearly complete, and most cyclists
have been spotted passing right by the track. Island Park resident Ali Yasr was riding north on Churchill Avenue when he pulled over for a short interview with KT. He said he thought the raised sidewalk was just a sidewalk extension and not a bike track, but he immediately recognized the value of it. “It’s an excellent idea. It’ll be safer for bikes and easier for drivers,” says Yasr. Athlone Avenue resident Bryan Arr says separating drivers and cyclists is the best solution for both parties. “I have a friend who lives at Churchill and he said it was like a racetrack,” says Arr. He also says he has enjoyed the reduced traffic as a result of summer construction, and the quiet that goes along with it. Churchill Avenue resident Alejandro De Maio was part of the initial public consultation concerning the reconstruction project. He tried the new bike lanes with his son earlier this summer but found the unfinished paths “too patchy” to ride on. Regardless, he intends on trying them out again soon. “After seeing them now, I think it’s an interesting concept but there doesn’t seem to be much difference or space between the sidewalk and
the bike lane,” says De Maio. Churchill Avenue resident Sheldon Klootwyk bikes downtown for work twice a week. He is looking forward to using the new raised bike lanes when they are completed. “It’s an improvement. I like it. It’s a convenient feeder to downtown,” says Klootwyk. Kenwood Avenue resident Jihan Abbas is excited to see a few people starting to use the new bike lanes. “It’ll be safer and friendlier for pets and traffic. There are so many schools around here and a lot of kids are on bikes and skateboards. This will make things much safer for them,” says Abbas. Councillor Katherine Hobbs says the increasing need for buffers between cyclists and drivers is an example of a cultural shift in which more people are choosing bikes over cars. She says there will soon be signage indicating to drivers to slow down and directing cyclists onto the new raised bike lanes. Full completion of the Churchill project is expected in 2015. For more information on Churchill’s new raised bike lanes, visit ottawa.ca/en/cycling-city. Have you tried out the new raised cycle track on Churchill? Will it encourage more people to ride their bikes? Send your feedback to editor@ kitchissippi.com.

Continued from page 1 out to meet people who share his affection for our city. His subjects could be a business owner, a chef, or tourist, so long as they have a few good words to say about Ottawa. Brown takes his subject’s portrait on location against a signature white panel held up with red clamps and shares their story and their photo on his blog, loveottawa.com. Of course, every story brings its own unique answer to the same question: “What do you love about Ottawa?” “Everybody’s got their reasons,” says Brown. “I’ve got my reasons, I love the cultural mix of French English, I love the architecture, the history.” “It ends up being a bit of a social documentary of right now, where is Ottawa at, what are people interested in, what do they love, it’s fun,” says Brown. Brown recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of LoveOttawa with a party at 8 Locks’ Flat on the Rideau Canal. Bringing together people he has photographed and meeting new people who
could become future subjects, is how Brown loves to build community. “It’s about connecting people, good people with good people,” he says. Over the first year of his project, Brown has covered many of the city’s stars – politicians to artists to entrepreneurs – and he’s turning his eyes towards the unsung heroes of Ottawa going into year two. “The people that I now have my sights on are people that I don’t know yet,” Brown explains, “Strangers, that’s one thing that I feel I would like to get a bit more of.” love-ottawa.com is an ongoing collection of reasons why our city is a great place to be, a place that is only getting better as more people share their passions, dreams and their hidden gems. “The feeling that I’m getting, that I’m most excited about, is that the whole city is going through this positive evolution, this positive change,” says Brown. “There are less people that are cynical about the city and more people that are positive about the city.”
Five things you should know about Dwayne Brown 1. Dwayne has a personal blog When he isn’t telling other people’s stories on LoveOttawa, Dwayne takes some time to write about himself at blog.dwaynebrown.com. These are stories and photos from inside the life of someone who has a unique job and a positive outlook on life. On occasion he shares a photo for free download. 2) You’ve probably seen Dwayne’s couch Remember about a year ago when an ancient, iconic couch kept popping up all over town? Yeah, that was Dwayne and some friends with their Community Couch project. He lugged that old couch out to the Byron Farmers Market, Dovercourt, Mountain Equipment Co-op and Suzy Q Donuts – just to name a few local spots. The couch also made it out to Chinatown and the Parliament buildings. The photos are still online at communitycouch.tumblr.com. 3) He’s recently joined the cycling community Sitting in the Hintonburg Public House watching the installation of a bike corral, Dwayne’s initial response was less than enthusiastic. “I made a few comments about it on Twitter and that really got a conversation going,” says Brown. “What I realized very quickly was just how passionate the cycling community in Ottawa really is.” The conversation was enough to convert Brown to pedal power and he bought his first grown-up bicycle soon after. 4) He’s made amateur astronomy a new pass time Brown and his son recently invested in a spiffy new telescope and is now pointing a lens in a whole new direction: up. “It’s the most humbling and inspiring thing I’ve done in quite some time, and I get to do it with my son,” said Brown. He’s even captured some stunning photos of the moon simply by pointing his iPhone through the lens of the telescope. 5) Dwayne is a cat person Although Brown’s Instagram feed (instagram.com/dwaynebrown) reveals a spectacular array of scenery, portraits and behind-the-scenes shots, the real star of the show is Polly the cat. In addition to photo assistant Maija Hirsimaki, Polly is a mainstay at the studio. So yes, even professional photographers love to share cat photos on Instagram.

Andrea Freedman, the new president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa.
Fundraising for a cause New CEO brings a fresh face to campaign Story and photo by Anita Grace
The Jewish Federation of Ottawa is putting a fresh face on their annual fundraising campaign. Jeff Miller, a partner at GGFL Chartered Accountants on Richmond Road and Chair of the annual campaign, is hoping to capitalize on the Federation’s new president and CEO, Andrea Freedman. “This is a new opportunity, a new person who really has a lot to offer,” he says. Freedman has built a career in Jewish organizations in Montreal and Toronto. Prior to assuming this position, she was the Vice President of philanthropy and operations at Mount Sinai Hospital. When she moved to Ottawa, she found a home in Westboro and says she has quickly fallen in love with the city and neighbourhood. “I’m super excited about the campaign,” says Freedman. “The potential of its success is very exciting for me because of the good that can be done with the cherished donor dollars.” The Federation’s annual campaign is a long-standing tradition in the local Jewish community. Last year it raised $4.2 million through fundraising events and individual donations from 22,000 people. Corporate sponsorship comes from TD Bank, the Ottawa Senators and GGFL. “Our goal is to increase our campaign [contributions] by five per cent,” says Miller. The campaign runs from September
“I’m super excited about the campaign. The potential of its success is very exciting for me because of the good that can be done with the cherished donor dollars.” through December and he hopes more people will engage with and support the Jewish community in town and in Israel. “All gifts are really appreciated,” says Freedman. She explains that the funds raised through the campaign are “meeting the needs of the Ottawa Jewish community and taking care of our most vulnerable members.” Local organizations that are supported through the campaign include Tamir, a support organization for youth and adults with special needs, and the Jewish Community Centre, which is situated on Kitchissippi’s doorstep. Although Freedman says that the majority of the funds stay within Ottawa, some of the money also supports the people of Israel. Funds are directed to social programs, services and infrastructures there. Freedman has personally spent a lot of time in Israel, having been there about 20 times. “I have an incredibly
strong connection with Israel,” she says. “It is the Jewish homeland.” “There is culture, history, tradition and religion juxtaposed against modernity. The combination and vibrancy is incredible.” Her connection with communities in Israel and at home is evident as she speaks about the campaign. “For me, the concept of community is layered,” she says, noting that it encompasses the Jewish communities in Ottawa, Canada and beyond. “I think about partnership with other people and organizations to make sure that each and every community is as vibrant and meaningful as it can be.” The Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s Annual Campaign kickoff will be held on Sunday, September 14 at Centrepointe Theatre, at 7:30 p.m. The keynote speaker is Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream empire. Tickets are $20 and are available through Centrepointe Theatre at centrepointetheatre.com.

Inside Shlomo Feldberg’s shed, safe from the sudden downpour, are pieces of metal, nails, and
bits of wood painted a stark white. Feldberg works with found objects: pop cans from restaurants, pieces of metal from junkyards, recycling bins, garage sales, and odds and ends from the Salvation Army. In early September, Feldberg, along with 16 other artists from the Kitchissippi area, is looking forward to opening the doors to his workshop. “The urge to create was in me for a long time,” says Feldberg. “I lived in Israel after WWII as a refugee… where I lived was a very large area filled with destroyed houses – as you get after war.” During these early days, Feldberg made an enclosure for Abeer, the family dog, out of wire, wood, and piping scavenged from the surrounding area. The family lived in a one-room house and folded their beds away during the day. Now Feldberg builds Continued on page 14

KT letters and tweets Cycle logic RE: Let’s make the bike corrals positive for all (Kitchissippi Times, August 7) Mr. Diener was “shocked” at more bike parking where there are lots of food shops. Well, duh. Food shops are a prime destination for shopping. Many people, like myself, just walk to Wellington since I am only 6 blocks away. (By the way, I am one of those seniors Mr. Diener is so worried about). But what if I lived further out? 10, 20, 50 blocks away? Yes, a bus or car could take me there, but a bicycle doesn’t pollute, is just as fast as a car, and much faster than a bus with its route, stops, and schedules. Having more bike parking expands what “local” means. Yesterday I biked down to the Merivale strip. My bicycle makes a 10km radius “local” to me. Target has a stylish bike rack outside. What about
cyclist Diener’s Saslove’s store? What bike rack does he supply? Bikes aren’t just for enjoying nature and freedom; they get you around in a healthy way. Mr. Diener says there are 536+ bike parking spots along Wellington. How long is Wellington? How many stores? Where there is a concentration of shopping, there needs to be a concentration of bike parking. Bike corrals use one parking spot to park a dozen bikes. Wouldn’t Mr. Diener prefer a dozen customers to just one? Maybe if Saslove’s had had a bike rack, the bike corral would be on a different block. Bike corrals also encourage more people to bike by their bold orange sculptures. They need to be next to the store entrances, not hidden away in some alley. And there need to be many more all around Ottawa (at least within 10km of me:-) Tom Trottier

West End Studio Tour preview: Barbara Zuchowicz This artist and musician is one of two new artists on the tour Story and photos by Judith van Berkom
A portrait of the artist’s late husband, canoeing.
“Music and art are closely integrated,” says Barbara Zuchowicz. With professional qualifications in both, Zuchowicz has recently focused her attention back to drawing – “the most intimate and delicate of visual media.” Her late husband, Dom Zuchowicz, built over 350 musical instruments, mainly viols for private and public
collections worldwide. They both had an interest in early music and worked as a team. She researched historical design for the period instruments he built, ran a concert series at All Saints Anglican Church in Westboro, and is the Director of the Ottawa Adult Music Camp. She has taught and performed on a viola da gamba built by her husband, as well as the baroque and modern cello. Her passion for music,
however, is closely matched by a love of art. “I lived my whole life with a pencil in my hand,” says Zuchowicz. “I’ve always been an observer of things.” Her current work elevates common objects, such as jars of honey, teapots, a special tree, or the rooftops of a farm just over the crest of a hill. Zuchowicz spent months sitting in the barns at the Experimental Farm
watching sheep – fascinated with their behaviour – and captured their sheer joy in shades of coloured pencil. Sharing her house with a boarder who makes her own preserves, motivated Zuchowicz to capture the beauty of homemade preserves. No longer a necessary part of modern life, she views the making of preserves not as exclusively women’s work, but a way of keeping domestic culture alive. “It was homemade peach jam

that kept our marriage together,” she explains. “My husband picked up the peaches in the Niagara region, and I made peach jam. It was done with love... Think of the generations who kept themselves alive for centuries by canning,” she adds. The year after her husband’s death in 2011, Zuchowicz left for London, Ontario where she researched and wrote about the relationship between music and art and the relationship of women in the 18th century to music and art at the University of Western Ontario. She came home knowing she wanted to bring out the visual artist part of herself more fully. “My husband always encouraged my art,” she explains. “So to be part of this [year’s West End Studio] tour, to be welcomed into this group of fantastic artists, is incredible.” Although a new artist to this year’s tour, Zuchowicz’s involvement goes back to 1994, to the earliest days of the studio tour. She had been meeting with a group of artists at St- Francois and the lease on the building was up. “We decided to hold a tour as a goodbye,” she says. The official West End Studio Tour opened in 1995, a year later. For more information visit zuchowicz.com or westendstudiotour.ca.

Going back to school, in Tanzania Exhibition showcases words and photos of students in East Africa Story and photo by Adam Feibel
Young girls in Northern Tanzania probably are not complaining as they head back to school this September. “For many girls, going on to sec-
Susan Smith, Arlene McKechnie, and Virginia Taylor are behind a new photography exhibition that features the work of Tanzanian schoolgirls.
ondary school is not a reality,” says Virginia Taylor, adding that those who do get to attend certainly don’t take it for granted. Taylor, a member of the Ottawabased non-profit Project TEMBO, spent 10 weeks in the village of Longido, Tanzania last fall volunteering to help a group of 42 girls develop language and study schools in order to prepare for secondary school.
The girls were given a camera and told to head out into their community and snap a photo for each letter of the alphabet, so they could learn by associating words and sentences with what they saw around them. E is for Education will showcase the resulting photos and stories Sept. 4–17 at Exposure Gallery, on the second floor of Thyme & Again. “They were so engaged in the activity and the outcome was so rich that we wanted to do something with this,” says Taylor, a Faraday Street resident and the exhibition’s coordinator. The showing will display 10 banners that compile the girls’ work, along with items the girls need for school. “You can see things through their eyes, and aspects of their culture and community,” says Susan Smith, a TEMBO volunteer. Tanzania is the most linguistically diverse country in East Africa with more than 100 spoken languages, but its two official languages are Swahili and English. The girls are taught in Swahili and Maasai throughout primary school with very little instruction in English — but then there’s a sudden switch to English in secondary school. It’s a challenge that many Tanzanian school children are unable to overcome. Fewer than a third of the children pass the national exam required to continue from primary to

secondary school, Taylor explains, so TEMBO’s aim is to help them move on. Arlene McKechnie, a 10-year member and the organization’s current president, says those who attend the exhibition can get a better understanding of the challenges the girls face at home. “It’s a chance to tell their story through their words and their images, which I think is often not given enough space,” she says. The group also helps pay tuition and provide school supplies, and holds a fundraising campaign every year in the midst of the back-toschool season. “We take it for granted. It’s September, we go back to school,” says Taylor. “These girls can’t go to school if they don’t have a school uniform. They can’t study if they don’t have the notebooks and the pens and pencils that they need. They can’t play any of the physical activities if they don’t have shoes,” she says. “So I think that we take for granted that we’re going to have these things … and so we’ve presented this show at this time when education is on the mind of so many people, because it really showcases that it’s not easy around the world — but it’s possible.” For information about Project TEMBO go to projectembo.org.

Continued from page 6 everything from lamps composed of teapots, or skylines made of pieces of wood, roots, and clockwork. “When working with found objects a lot of the time you’re not even aware what that particular object will lead you to,” says Feldberg. “You might have a particular idea when you start to work on it, but it’s the material that dictates where I go.” Feldberg points to a Chanukiah, or Menorah, that he made as an example. He gathered the spoons, knives, bronze cups, and forks to construct the piece. But, when attempting to mount it, he realized that the rock he was going to use gave the entire piece a reptilian cast. As a result,
Feldberg finished the Chanukiah by making it appear to walk or crawl across the rock. Much like how the materials can dictate the final form his artwork will take, Feldberg believes that the act of observing art is what completes it. “People will react one way or another to what I create. Sometimes they will look at me and say: oh, did you make this because of such and such?” says Feldberg. “It enriches the piece because they think about it in a way that I might not.” One of Feldberg’s favourite pieces was given its name by an 11-year-old girl. Feldberg created a replica of the Canadian flag made of pins gathered from every province and territo-
ry. For the parts of the flag typically coloured red, Feldberg used pop cans he worked into strands. He estimates that he used over 200 pins and about 300 cans. The completed piece hangs on a heavy 32”x64” piece of whitewashed wood. The little girl suggested that it should be named CANada. Feldberg agreed. “Some people say that a painting is never finished until it’s seen,” adds Wendy Feldberg, Shlomo’s wife and another artist on the tour. “Art is never finished until it gets a response from the viewer.” Pick up the September 4 issue of KT to meet Wendy Feldberg, Shlomo’s better half.

There is the business side of operations to maintain, paying taxes and rent, and building publicity. She also admits that finding inspiration can be tough. So when she is in need of new ideas, Fowler turns to nature. Spending time outdoors or on the road often ignites that spark for her. “It’s a thought, a moment, a colour, a flower, a scene,” she says.

West End Studio Tour preview: Andrew King Bringing our collective history to light Story and photo by Anita Grace
The paintings of Andrew King have roots. They are rooted in the stories of our past, and the buildings in our neighbourhoods. “We have a lot of cool history,” explains King. “I’m trying to bring it to the surface so people can appreciate it a bit more.” As a history buff, it is fitting that King’s home – and the site for his part in the West End Studio Tour (WEST) – backs onto the Sisters of the Visitation Convent that was built in 1880. His paintings and sketches will be displayed on the temporary wall that surrounds the convent and the adjacent construction site. Having lived in Kitchissippi since 1994, King knows the area well but continues to discover new details about the city and its past. “There is always something interesting,” he says. Many of his paintings depict buildings that have an interesting history as well as architectural form. From the history of Samuel de Champlain’s discovery of the great oak trees around the park that now bears his name, to the 1920s dance hall at Westboro Beach, King loves exploring our history and using it to inform his work. He carefully plans and sketches out each composition, then uses fine, detailed brushstrokes to apply thin layers of acrylic paint. The results, rich with detail but minimalist in style, have earned him
Local artist Andrew King promises that there will be “something for everyone,” at his stop on the tour, including sketches, paintings and the debut of a new T-shirt design.
praise from art curators and fellow artists alike. Anne House, the owner and curator at Mad Dog Gallery in Prince Edward County where King regularly shows his work, describes his art as “very whimsical but very accurate.” “He goes one step beyond a typical artist,” she says. She explains that the history behind each painting and the stories that King creates for the characters within them add a unique dimension to his work. Similarly, fellow WEST artist Lynette Chubb describes King’s work as “a combination of both a meticulous architectural and a comedic cartooning background, resulting in masterful technical detail spiced with an engaging sense of humour.” “Andrew’s work is very detailed,” agrees another fellow artist, Alison Fowler. “And every piece has a story behind it.”
Fowler and King are a creative couple who are well known in the local art scene. “Alison and Andrew are both talented artists,” says Don Monet, owner and curator of Cube Gallery and the originator of the West End Studio Tour 15 years ago. “They have helped foster a thriving art culture here in the west end.” This is King’s fourth time participating in WEST, returning to the tour this fall after taking a year off in 2013. “The tour is a great way for Kitchissippi neighbours to learn about artists in their community,” he says. “It’s a chance to experience art in a casual way.” For this year, he promises that there will be “something for everyone,” including sketches, paintings and the debut of a new “Ottawa nostalgia” T-shirt design.

one for casual KT BRIEFS routes, cyclists (18km) and one for those seeking a challenge Have your say Ottawa Public Health launched its “Have Your Say” survey. It’s an opportunity for Ottawa residents to communicate what public health issues are most important to them. The feedback received through this survey will inform OPH’s 2015-2018 Strategic Priorities, which will set the strategic direction for the organization for the next four years. To fill out the survey, go to Ottawa.ca and search for “have your say.” For additional information call Ottawa Public Health Information at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613580-9656).
Help strengthen artistic excellence Great Canadian Theatre Company will be hosting its 2nd annual Bike-AThon on September 27 (rain date is September 28). GCTC is currently seeking those with a love for cycling to take part in this fundraiser. All the funds raised help support the work of artists, directors, designers and playwrights during GCTC’s 2014/15 season. This year there are two
(38km). Non-cyclists can help out by sponsoring a rider or the event as a whole. Last year this fundraiser raised over $7,000. With the community’s support, this year’s goal of $6,000 should be easy to achieve. For information or to make donation, go to raiseathon.ca/ gctcbike.
Help needed for local school children The month of September is coming up fast, and some families in our community are wondering just how they are going to afford school essentials for their children. The Caring and Sharing Exchange has been working to ensure that children in need return to school fully prepared to succeed. Over 1,400 children in Ottawa are currently registered to receive assistance through the Sharing in Student Success program. Assistance is provided in the form of a grade appropriate stuffed backpack, as outlined by the boards of education. With the funds raised so far, the Exchange will only be able to help just over 1,000, leaving
more than 300 without the tools they need to start the school year. “We truly need the community’s assistance now if we have any hope of helping all of these deserving children,” says Cindy Smith, Executive Director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange. “Not having the tools needed to succeed is an avoidable roadblock facing them; all we need is just a bit of help to remove this barrier.” The Caring and Sharing Exchange works year round with other community organizations to coordinate the giving in Ottawa. “We work with our partnering agencies, through our Co-ordination Service, to help ensure that individuals aren’t being helped twice and that funds are distributed to as many families as possible. By collaborating, we detect hundreds of duplicate applications, which allows us to redistribute the funds to the next family on the list, while saving the community money,” explains Smith. For more information about the organization or to make a donation, call 613-226-6434 or go to CaringandSharing.ca.

This 120 minutes workshop will be taking place at the Rosemount branch of the Ottawa Public Library and begins at 6:15 p.m. Registration is required.
