Irene still poses a threat to Canada Hurricane Irene was downgraded to a tropical storm yesterday, but forecasters warned the massive storm will still have the potential to cause flooding and wind damage by the time it reaches Eastern Canada. More than 100 flights at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport have been cancelled because of the storm, including flights departing to and arriving from New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Boston. For more on the storm, see page 8.
Tom Smeraldo and Emilio Ojeda walked into their new Cabbagetown-area condo, took one look at their view (a brick wall), balcony (more of a ledge), and hardwood floors (actually laminate) and phoned their lawyer. “We were so disappointed. We just wanted out of the deal,� said Smeraldo. They couldn’t. Not unless they wanted to lose the tens of thousands in deposits. Instead, the couple set out on a three-year battle with the builder over what they say are broken promises and unfixed deficiencies. Theirs is a buyer beware cautionary tale. As of December, there were about 264,000 condo units in the region. Despite the considerable size and affluence associated with

the demographic, it’s a vulnerable segment of the population, says NDP MPP Rosario Marchese. The NDP has vowed to tackle condominium act reform if elected this fall. “If a renter has a problem with the owner of that building they’re able to go to renter’s tribunal, pay a $25 fee and defend themselves. If you’ve got a problem as a condo owner, where do you go? A lawyer. That’s the problem.� TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

The Go Topless march was held after the group was denied a permit to be topless on Ashbridges Beach Pop-eyed pubescent boys on skateboards, families out on strolls and people lunching on patios on Queen Street East near Woodbine all got an unexpected eyeful yesterday afternoon as dozens of men in bras and red bikini tops and bare-breasted women of all ages, shapes and sizes marched by just after noon. Flanked by Toronto police on bikes and led by a car pulling a U-Haul trailer and poster proclaiming “Equal Topless Rights for All or None,” the group danced, sang and jiggled their way up Woodbine Avenue from Lake Shore Blvd. E., east on Queen Street and south on Lee Avenue, ending in an area bordering on Kew Gardens — but never stepping foot in the public park.

What aspect of the Code the event violated was not divulged last week by the city’s customer care manager Mark Lawson when he spoke to the Star. “It’s ridiculous,” said Diane Brisebois, one of the co-ordinators of the event, pointing out the women can legally walk along Toronto city streets topless but can’t put a foot on park grass.

They lined the procession route and flooded the public visitation. Large video screens were erected behind Roy Thomson Hall to accommodate the overflow crowd. Some of the most wellknown political figures in Canada were in attendance at the hall, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper. DARREN CALABRESE/THE CANADIAN PRESS

Olivia Chow looks on as the casket of NDP leader Jack Layton leaves Roy Thomson Hall after funeral services on Saturday.
NDP vow to carry on Layton’s vision A purported frontrunner in the impending NDP leadership race says he believes the momentum that propelled the party to unprecedented success in May will not be broken by Jack Layton’s death. Party president Brian Topp, who admits he’s considering a leadership run to succeed Layton, says voters have recognized there is a

clear and viable alternative to the status quo. Layton died from cancer last Monday. The attention paid to tributes to his politics and legacy will have
lasting impact, Topp said, “because what happened this week was a wonderful look at something new in Canadian politics that more and more Canadians want.’’ Topp and Layton’s wife, MP Olivia Chow, were among those who helped the dying leader pen a final goodbye to Canadians two days before he died. In it, Layton recommend-
ed the party hold a leadership vote as early as possible in the New Year. With an emotional week behind them, the party’s national director, Brad Lavigne, suggested that work starts first thing Monday, as the staff of the Opposition Leader’s Office move into new digs under interim leader Nycole Turmel.

plan bee
Fred Davis checks on the bees on the roof of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
What’s happening to Canada’s honey bees? Crucial to our survival, these incredible insects help pollinate the majority of the world’s food crops Photographer Geoff Fitzgerald is chronicling the efforts of those trying to help “The term CCD (colony collapse disorder) was first coined in the later part of 2006 when there was a huge rise in the number of honey bees that began disappearing from their hives in North America and Europe,” says photographer Geoff Fitzgerald. “The main reason is still unknown; however there are many proposed causes like malnutrition, pathogens, mites, fungus and pesticides. Many scientists believe this phenomenon is caused by a
combination of these factors; it is still hard to say.” Living in downtown Toronto, Fitzgerald never thought beekeeping in the city was possible. That was until he heard about the hives on the roof of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Fitzgerald is chronicling the efforts of the Royal York, along with those by the Canadian Opera Company at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts and University of Toronto campuses. Fitzgerald hopes to ex-
pand the series to include Fairmont hotels in Vancouver, Quebec and Calgary. He also wants to photograph hives at Vancouver’s city hall and the convention centre. “I wanted to shoot these photographs as environmental portraits, not just close-ups of bees but to really show the urban environment, rooftop location and its surroundings.” METRO MORE ABOUT GEOFF FITZGERALD’S

Irene punch not as packed in N.Y. JASON DECROW/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
At least 15 people died in the chaos Storm knocked out power to 4.5 million on Eastern Seaboard Stripped of hurricane rank, Tropical Storm Irene spent the last of its fury yesterday, leaving treacherous flooding and millions without power — but an unfazed New York and relief that it was nothing like the nightmare authorities feared. The East Coast surveyed the damage, up to $7 billion US by one private estimate, and worried of danger still lurking: The possibility of rivers and streams swelling with rainwater and overflowing in coming days. The nation’s most populous region began the arduous process of getting back to normal. New York lifted its evacuation order for 370,000 people and said it hoped to have its subway rolling again today.
Washed away 20 homes on Long Island Sound in Connecticut were destroyed by churning surf. 236 kilometres of New York’s main highway were washed out.
Philadelphia restarted its trains and buses. The centre of Irene passed over Central Park with the storm packing 105-kilometre per hour winds. By evening, it brushed over New England and moved east at 80 kilometres per hour. It was expected to drift into Canada later yesterday or early today. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Account holders can put back the amounts they withdraw from a TFSA only in a later calendar year.

The motto “you get what you pay for” used to be true of most things, but the times, they are changin’, and this is no longer true for many things, most notably car insurance. In fact, you could be paying hundreds, or even thousands of dollars more than you should for your coverage.
InsuranceHotline.com finds this rate for drivers – for FREE!
How is this possible? It is somewhat complicated to explain, but, to sum it up: Insurance companies base their rates on their experience with similar driver profiles and cars. Since no two companies’ experiences are exactly the same, it is rare that different companies will give you the same potential insurance premium for your profile and car.

Experience Counts

It has been statistically proven that drivers over 50 years of age have fewer accidents and tickets than the average, and this means that there are more potential savings to be found for more experienced drivers. In fact, some companies actually specialize in serving the mature market, so it’s definitely worth comparing rates.
Loyalty May Not Pay If you are getting a loyalty discount you might be thinking that you are better off staying with your current insurance provider. This might be true, but it’s impossible to be certain without doing some research. You just might find that the potential savings far outweigh any loyalty discount being offered.

Shoemaker Jeff Churchill with one of his fanciful creations.
THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR ACTING URBAN COMPASS LIA GRAINGER
METRO TORONTO
If it’s a pair of black loafers you want, look elsewhere. At Jitterbug Boy, footwear is an art form. The studio’s expansive workshop takes up the better part of the fourth floor of a charmingly rundown building near The Junction. More than 3,000 pairs of shoes lasts dangle from the ceiling, and the walls are lined with an eclectic collection of mismatched footwear: A flamboyant pair of size 13 platform boots sit next to a dusty set of black “orc” shoes with large crooked nails protruding menacingly
from toes. “These are a favourite,” says Jeff Churchill, picking up the aforementioned huge platform boots. “They’re from Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert. It was a real challenge creating something this high that a 6 foot 4, 200-pound man could dance and perform in 10 times a week.” It’s just one of the many daily challenges that Churchill and his six-person team must face as Canada’s most esteemed theatrical shoe makers. Churchill learning the craft at Stratford, with Cirque du Soliel, and while working with famed director Franco Dragone in Belgium. He’s been in the business for 13 years, and started his Jitterbug Boy studio in 2005, where he creates shoes for theatre, film and television productions around the world. “We construct every part of the shoe, from the soles to the platforms to the finishing,” says Churchill. He describes the various projects his assistants are working on as we stroll past otherworldly shoes and boots in various stages of completion. “Jenna is working on House of Dancing Water,” says Churchill, referring to extravagant Italian-Belgian director Franco Dragone’s new underwater production. Churchill explains that they had to find a material that wouldn’t degrade in water. He shows me a black thighhigh boot that looks like leather, but feels oddly plastic to the touch. “We are always balancing between the aesthetic and the technical. Finding the mix is a challenge.” And finding that mix takes time and money. A simple shoe takes 15 to 18 hours to construct, and that doesn’t include consultations with the costume designer and performer, or the time to actually design the shoe. More complicated designs can take upwards of 35 to 40 hours. A standard shoe usually costs between $500 and $900, but Churchill says he’s charged as much as $3,000 for a single set of footwear. As one of the best in the business, Churchill gets requests to make shoes for non-theatrical purposes, but generally turns them down. “I’m making shoes for artists: I’d rather do that than make shoes for a corporate lawyer. It’s one-on-one fashion, and that’s really rewarding.”

New school of freedom ATHENS, GA. As college
students return to campus in Georgia, a new state policy has closed the doors of the five most competitive state schools to illegal immigrants, but a group of professors has found a way to offer those students a taste of what they’ve been denied. The five University of Georgia professors have started a program they're calling Freedom University. They’re offering to teach a rigorous seminar course once a week meant to mirror courses taught at the most competitive schools and aimed at students who have graduated from high school but can’t go to one of those top schools because of the new policy or because of cuts to state scholarship programs. “What we’re hoping is that people in decisionmaking positions will reconsider the policy,” said Reinaldo Roman, one of the organizing professors. “It goes counter to our aims. We have invested enormous resources in these young people.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WEIRD NEWS
Not too posh to push around a cop in Mexico An odd instance of police abuse in which two snobby women shoved, slapped and insulted a cop has captured Mexico’s attention and sparked debate on police tactics, gender and class issues. Tapes of the late-night confrontation on Aug. 20 in the upscale Mexico City neighbourhood of Polanco became a hit on social networking and video-sharing sites, exposing
Mexicans’ frustration with both the arrogant rich and ineffectual police. Pulled over in a traffic stop, the two women shout, swear, shove and slap a policeman, who does nothing to resist. He tries to calm them, moves away several times and eventually allows them to drive away. One of the women, a former Puebla state beauty queen identified as Maria Vanessa Polo Cajica, can be heard on the video waving her hand in front of the officer's face, insulting his mother and calling him a “crappy wage slave.” Police chief Manuel Mondragon said the officers were waiting for a backup unit of female officers to detain the pair, because male cops only physically detain women if someone’s safety is at risk.

Party tips Chef Corbin Preparation, preparation, preparation. The number one reason people fail at dinner parties, says Corbin, is because they don’t think ahead. “They fly by the seat of their pants and more often than not, are caught with them down.” Cook what you know, know what you cook. “Too often we have people who want to play chef and cook things far too complicated,” says Corbin. Usually, the show-off chef fails. Keeping things simple is the key to success.

Hosting battles resume Wrestlers, social butterflies and a straight-laced couple sharpen their knives and wits as the second season of Dinner Party Wars begins HANNAH ZITNER
SCENE@METRONEWS.CA
In a suburban kitchen on the outer edge of Toronto, half-cooked steak, mystery fish eggs and a whole lot of vodka set the scene for an “interesting” Russian-style dinner party. Known more for their ability to throw a wild soirée than master a dinner party, hosts Erina Karamani and Elena Morozovathe focus their hosting energy on the entertainment portion of the evening: vodka shots, a martini demonstration and
raunchy question period. On the set of the reality show Dinner Party Wars, where teams take turns trying to one-up each others culinary prowess, hosting grace and entertainment abilities, the 24-year old hosts are delivered bad news moments before their guests arrive. “That’s not caviar,” celebrity chef Corbin Tomaszeski tells the 24year-old hosts. “That’s roe.” Starring blankly at each other, the two blonds dressed in animal prints
have to think quickly to come up with a plan B. “Maybe it’s their strategy to appear like dumb blonds who don’t know what they’re doing,” says fellow contestant Greg Danakas. “But I’m sure they’re not (dumb blonds) and they will really surprise us. But at least it will be interesting when they hit the kitchen.” Having grown up in the stock room of his parents’ restaurant, Danakas says he and his wife Helen make a perfect hosting team. “I do the cooking and he
does the entertaining,” she says adding his career as a high school drama teacher is evidence he’s not one to shy away from centre stage. “I’m pretty sure we can win this thing... After all, how can you beat Greek hospitality?” What happens when you throw two wrestlers, a conservative couple and a life-of-the-party duo into a ring with a bottle of tequila? The season premier of Dinner Party Wars airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Food Network Canada.
Taste test. Serving before tasting is a common mistake, says Corbin. “Cooking from a recipe can be very clinical, so you need to be tasting and touching — you’ll have a much better outcome.” Anthea Turner, etiquette guru Get it done. Finishing chores well in advance leaves more time for the hosts to entertain. “Set the table the night before and get your clothes ready,” says Turner, who confesses she sometimes lays plates and cutlery two nights before a shindig.

DAN STEINBERG, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Designing Women creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason once wrote that actress Jean Smart’s character on the 1980s sitcom had “legs that stretched out for five or six miles, and one of those laughs that made you feel like riding around in a convertible.” Some 25 years later, Smart’s girl-next-door looks, legs and laugh are intact, making her casting of Prince Charles’s matronly second wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, all the more surprising — except to Smart herself. “The thing is, I started out in the theatre, so I always did all kinds of parts — all different ages, all kinds of parts,” Smart explained recently, while promoting the TV movie William & Catherine: A Royal Romance, which debuts Saturday night (9 p.m. EDT) on the Hallmark Channel. “And, actually, Camilla was adorable when they were younger.” Smart said she hopes the movie, which follows William and Catherine from introduction to proposal, sheds a new, positive light on Bowles, “the true love of Charles’s life,” as per Smart. Bowles was widely maligned by the public and press — especially in the wake of Princess Diana’s untimely death in 1997. “Yes, there are a couple of moments where she has a nice, self-deprecating
Actress Jean Smart says she has hit her prime in her work.
sense of humour about herself and the fact it’s taken a gaggle of stylists to kind of put her together and everything, it’s kind of nice,” Smart said. “I really liked the way she was portrayed in the script. She’s a very sympathetic, likeable character, and I thought she ... deserved that.” The Seattle-born Smart will likely always be best known as Charlene Olivia Frazier Stillfield, the naive but huge-hearted office manager at Atlanta’s Sugarbaker design firm, on the first five seasons (198691) of the sitcom Designing Women. “Oh, yeah, it was a great job,” Smart recalled. “And we had a blast.” Since leaving Designing Women, Smart has actually enjoyed numerous TVcareer highs: two Emmy
Awards for guest appearances on Frasier (2000, 2001), a key role on the drama 24 in 2006, the year it won the Emmy for drama series, and another of her own Emmys for playing Christina Applegate’s self-centred mother in the sitcom Samantha Who? (2008). On the horizon for Smart: possibly another play, and a small role in a Meryl Streep film. “I never was an ingenue,” Smart said. “So thank God. If I was, I mean, I can’t imagine how depressing that would be right around now. So, in many ways I do feel as if in the last several years I’ve sort of been in my prime in terms of work and things.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Feore â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of our most respected and admired performers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is used to essaying melodramatic roles that require layers of costuming, from his turns in Shakespeare on the Stratford stage to his roles as heavily madeup heavies in blockbusters like Chronicles of Riddick and Thor. But with The Borgias, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extra dimension to the dark drama and intrigue: sex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Neil got all the exposition and set up out of the way in the first season,â&#x20AC;? admits the actor.

Reversible bucket hats are just one of the many projects in Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew by Liesl Gibson.
Last-minute summer projects Making clothes with your kids’ input is a great way to bond
Try bucket hats as a start
STC CRAFT/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Making a bucket hat probably isn’t on anyone’s bucket list, but maybe it should be. The reversible bucket hat in the book Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew (STC Craft, 2011) is classic, cute and comfortable. And author Liesl Gibson maintains that making it is a treat for grown-ups as well as the young recipients. Sewing, for Gibson, is “almost a luxury.” It “buys you some time to do something creative with your hands. When many of us work on computers and aren’t doing much with our hands, there’s a satisfaction in creating.” Gibson, a former clothing designer, began designing patterns for children’s

It includes new takes on classic items such as a messenger bag, art smock and tutu. Gibson designed an “explorer vest” with lots of

pockets after watching her daughter and friends gather stones, twigs and other little treasures. Gibson said she’s been encouraged to see many women learning to sew when they become mothers. But she also believes her patterns and projects have a broader appeal, to
anyone interested in sewing for children because it doesn’t take much fabric and doesn’t involve the fussy fitting issues that make sewing adult clothes difficult. “I think the big surprise for me was that it wasn’t such a small audience,” she said. While children likely would find some of the toy projects more appealing, the classic clothing and accessory designs lend themselves to experimenting with a variety of fabrics. The bucket hat, for example, can be customized by using a patterned fabric featuring a particular child’s interests. And a child who might otherwise balk at wearing
a hat might embrace one that he or she had a hand in. As with many of the book’s projects, Gibson designed the hat with her daughter in mind. But it works just as well for boys. The hat is reversible, so you can choose two favourite fabrics, or you could put a pocket on the outside. It is rated “two scissors” because it requires sewing curved seams and topstitching, but no one step is complicated. “It’s small enough that you can make a bunch,” Gibson said.

Canada. “They dragged me into extracurricular activities. I joined the band and became the editor of the yearbook.” Under the gentle guidance and leadership of her teachers, Jemy graduated with top honours and is now pursuing a Master’s degree in Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Ottawa. “I will be a doctor and I’d like to focus on public health, preventative medicine and health policy.” We are now on the threshold of a new school year and this is Jemy Joseph’s love letter to all the teachers who helped her and scores of young people fit in, learn and succeed: To all of our teachers in life, we say thank you.
The facts: A quick lesson on our country’s teachers. Number of teachers in Canada: 332,974 A recent study found that more than 80 per cent of teachers say their greatest satisfaction is: “Making a difference in children’s lives” and “Helping develop and motivate children”.

Rays roll over Blue Jays
Price strikes out 14, Jennings homers twice as Tampa threatens to sweep four-game series NATHAN DENETTE/THE CANADIAN PRESS
12 0 RAYS
BLUE JAYS
The wind was blowing in David Price’s face all day, and the left-hander was blowing the ball past the Blue Jays. Price struck out a clubrecord 14 and Desmond Jennings had the first twohomer game of his career as the Tampa Bay Rays hammered the Toronto Blue Jays 12-0 yesterday. Price said facing stiff winds made his two-seam fastball move more than it ever has. “That wind blowing in my face did a lot for my two-seamer,” said Price, who is 9-1 in his career against the Blue Jays. “So I was having a lot of fun to be able to throw like that.” Price (12-11) held the Blue Jays to three hits and two walks in seven innings. The Rays (73-59) had a total of 18 strikeouts for the game, also a franchise record, as they have won the first three of the fourgame series against the Blue Jays (66-67), who have lost four consecutive games to match a season high. Blue Jays manager John Farrell missed his third game in a row as he rests at home after being diagnosed with pneumonia late Thursday. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Despite dropping three straight to a division rival and falling below .500, the news wasn’t all bad for the Blue Jays. Catcher J.P. Arencibia threw out three Rays who were trying to steal bases on Saturday, drawing praise from coach Don Wakamatsu.

“I think he’s improving every day,” said Wakamatsu, a former catcher who has been working with Arencibia on his technique behind the plate. “For me the biggest thing is my defence,” said Arencibia after the game. “I want to be a guy who’s known as a great defender. My hitting is always going to be there,
I feel like. ... For me, my emphasis is on my defence and trying to help the team win however I can.” Brett Lawrie continued to produce at the plate, hitting his fifth homer on Friday, adding a triple on Saturday and picking up two of the Jays’ five hits yesterday. METRO

Lincicome weathers the storm in Quebec American overcomes poor conditions to win Canadian Women’s Open
Brittany Lincicome hoists the winner’s trophy at the CN Canadian Women’s Open yesterday in Mirabel, Que.
Brittany Lincicome put a new spin on the old show tune Singing In the Rain as she gritted her way through a storm to victory in the $2.2-million CN Canadian Women’s Open. The 25-year-old American made a dramatic par save in a driving rain to close with a 2-under 70 and edge defending champion Michelle Wie and Stacy Lewis by one stroke at Hillsdale Golf Club yesterday in Mirabel, Que. Lincicome, who earned $331,492, said she kept herself calm by singing country songs to herself as she parred the final six holes to stay ahead of Lewis and hold off Wie, the winner last year in Winnipeg.

sank long putts at the 15th and 17th to make it close with an even-par 72. Lewis had put up the low score of the day — a 67 on a day in which only 16 of 78 were under par — more than an hour earlier. “I was very patient, singing a lot of songs, very chatty,” said Lincicome, who said singing to herself is part of her sports psychology program to stay focused. “The weather was
not great, but I was still having fun.” The victory was nearly as sweet for her caddy, former LPGA regular A.J. Eathorne of Penticton, B.C., whose own playing career has been on hold since 2009. Lincicome pulled her tee shot on 18 into a tent and had to take a drop, but managed to get the ball up near the green, chip it close and make the winning putt. She also had fine saves on

She made the putt to keep a share of second place and win $174,812. Fears that the final round would be washed out by remnants of Tropical Storm Irene did not pan out. Rain and nasty winds hit the lead groups midway through their rounds, but it did not force a stoppage of play. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Federer says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still hungry U.S. Open is Swiss starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance to keep alive his eight-year streak of winning at least one Grand Slam First came the end of Roger Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable run of reaching a record 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals. Then he failed to make it to a major semifinal after a record 23 in a row. The U.S. Open marks Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance to prevent the close of another streak: In each season from 2003-10, he won at least one Grand Slam title â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and sometimes as many as three. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 0-for2011 heading into the
yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last major tournament, where play is scheduled to begin this morning, after what the U.S. Tennis Association said was â&#x20AC;&#x153;minimal damageâ&#x20AC;? to the site over the weekend from Tropical Storm Irene. This U.S. Open also is Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first major tournament since he turned 30 on Aug. 8. That age tends to represent a barrier to success in tennis: Of the past 100 Grand Slam titles, only five were won
by a man past his 30th birthday. The last to do it was Andre Agassi at the 2003 Australian Open. Federer, though, said that his age hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affected his expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed anything. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still as professional. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still as hungry. Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still completely normal,â&#x20AC;? he explained. For his career, Federer is 223-33 in Grand Slam matches, an .871 winning percentage. He can tie
JULIAN FINNEY/GETTY IMAGES
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a number thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to go.â&#x20AC;? ROGER FEDERER, ON TURNING 30
Service Directory
Agassi for the secondmost victories at majors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jimmy Connors retired with 233 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by beating 54th-ranked Santiago Giraldo of Colombia (who, for the record, is 2-10 in Grand Slam play) today. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re slated to play their first-round match in Arthur Ashe Stadium at night, after seven-time major champion Venus Williams meets Vesna Dolonts of Russia. Other matches on the Day 1 schedule include
2006 U.S. Open champion Maria Sharapova against Heather Watson of Britain; reigning Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova against Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania; 2010 U.S. Open runner-up Vera Zvonareva against Stephanie Foretz Gacon of France; 19-year-old American Ryan Harrison against No. 27-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia; and No. 8 Mardy Fish against Tobias Kamke of Germany.
