Avoidable food waste costs add up fast for families, taxpayersBY LISA QUEEN
You had such good intentions.Filling your grocery cart last week with
tons of healthy fruits and vegetables.But here you are, yet again, on the night
before garbage day, chucking that slimy brown lettuce and those shriveled apples in the green bin.
And while you’re at it, you might as well toss those leftovers you had planned on serving for another meal but didn’t get around to.
York Region has launched a campaign to help residents trash those misguided good intentions.
About a third of the items people throw in their green bins is avoidable food waste. And more than 50 per cent of that comes from fruits and vegetables that spoil before they are eaten.
The Good Food program aims to prevent waste by encouraging residents to think more about meal planning, shop with a list, learn more about proper food storage and actually eat their leftovers or “bought it and forgot it” food, Leslie Gilbert, a public and youth education co-ordinator with the region, said.
A good place to raise awareness is by showing residents just how much wasting food hits them in the pocketbook, she said.
The average household tosses about $1,500 worth of food into the green bin
every year, Gilbert said.Avoidable household kitchen waste is
costly for taxpayers, too.The region spends $183 to process every
tonne of waste collected in household green bins.
About a third is avoidable food waste, which works out to roughly $60 a tonne.
Last year, the region processed 94,700 tonnes of green bin waste.
That works out to an overall cost of $17.3 million, of which more than $5.7 million is spent on avoidable waste.
Still, it is much better to throw food waste out in green bins than in a garbage bag because it creates environmentally unfriendly methane gas in landfills, said Gilbert, who encouraged residents to also make use of composting bins for some of their food waste.
While it’s admirable that people are try-ing to eat healthier, often they end up throw out impulsive purchases such as salads that they hadn’t thought about how they would use, Gilbert said.
“It is a fair amount of waste being thrown out unnecessarily and even from that, about 50 per cent of that food waste is the good stuff, 50 per cent is fruits and veg-etables,” she said.
Part of the problem may lie in the abun-dance of food at our fingertips, Gilbert said.
“We kind of take it for granted some times that food is plentiful and we can get it any time and you don’t really think about
throwing it out,” she said.A 2010 study by the George Morris Cen-
tre for Agri-Food Research and Education found about $27 billion dollars worth of food is thrown away in Canada every year, with more than half of that coming from residen-tial homes as opposed to restaurants, retail-ers and others.
“The main reasons food becomes gar-bage include cooking/preparing too much,
not using the food in time and a lack of con-fidence to use leftovers,” the report said.
“Food that comprise the majority of avoidable household food and drink waste are those that require or benefit from refrig-erated storage. They include fresh/raw meat and fish, ready meals, dairy products, fruits and vegetables and pre-prepared foods.”
For more information about the Good Food program, visit www.york.ca/goodfood.
Despite the best of intentions, it’s estimated the average household tosses roughly $1,500 worth of food into the green bin each year.

Eat Inn Catering giving residents a second chanceBY CHRIS [email protected]
hris Lewis would likely still be seeking employment without Eat Inn Catering.The Newmarket resident has been hired to work in the kitchen of the non-
profit catering company and social enterprise, which is run out of Inn From the Cold’s Penrose Street site. Lewis began the job after successfully complet-ing the employment program offered by Cold, which includes a six-week
internship component at Eat Inn. “I wasn’t working and I needed money,” he said, while taking a break from the kitchen
one recent afternoon. “It’s definitely an opportunity; I’d hate to still be unemployed. That would not be good.”
Eat Inn works under the umbrella of Cold, which offers a variety of menu items for weekday corporate events, meetings and conferences. Many of the menu items are made in-house daily — meats are roasted and sauces are built from scratch, for example. Eat Inn has begun to establish itself; the company currently employs eight people and provides food service at the York Regional Police headquarters in Aurora five days a week.
Employees try to use the freshest ingredients whenever possible and use local baker-ies for buns and bread.
“We get the students who are interested in learning some of the basic culinary skills,” sales and marketing manager Lisa Chong said. “At the end of the program, they’ll be able to go out into the entry level workforce in the food and beverage industry. They have the basic skills and know the proper kitchen etiquette. When our culinary team is not working on catering, they’re training.”
Executive chef Donna Olding has worked at Eat Inn since its inception nearly three years ago. She’s glad the company has grown, since it offers valuable life skills training and employ-ment opportunities to some vulnerable members of society.
“I’d love to see the business grow and have more people through the program,” she said. “It’s breaking some barri-ers and getting people to recognize there’s good quality handmade food coming out of here. It’s on the same level as any other catering company out there. And we’re giv-ing opportunities to people who may not (otherwise) get hired on in the community. This is a great stepping stone in a safe environment.”
Olding took the job because of her son, who has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. She wor-ries he may need to use a similar program in the future and hopes these types of programs will impart social interaction, food preparation and other valu-able work skills on participants.
“They can hone skills,” she said. “It’s an issue close to my heart. I believe in equal opportunity. If you’re capable, willing and open to learn, you deserve the opportunity just as much as the next guy. People break down when they leave this program because they feel valued and have learned something. We’ve maybe aided in the next step in their lives.”

TORONTO 2015: Venues
By Chris [email protected]
Years of planning, $6 million in course renovations and countless volunteer hours — all for four days of Pan Am Games golf at Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham — will pay dividends for York Region, the game and generations to come.
That was the consensus Thursday among organizers, visitors and competitors as the inaugural Pan Am golf competition launched under cloudless skies and ideal conditions.
Angus Glen vice-president and general manager Chris Neale is buoyed by the atten-tion and attendance the venue is generating, particularly in an era when the golf industry is in the doldrums.
“It’s safe to say golf businesses are strug-gling,” he said. “It’s not that we’re losing golf-ers; they’re just playing less.
“We’re sold out for Saturday and Sunday. The awareness Pan Am golf is creating will draw more young people to play.”
The south course, where 32 men and 31 women golfers from 20 countries are com-peting for individual and team medals, is lush and plush. Neale credits superinten-dant Doug Erwin with overseeing the multi-year, government-funded enhancements to greens, bunkers and tee areas.
Neale said the block of several thousand Pan Am tickets would not replicate the types
Angus Glen gets rave reviews as Pan Am competition begins
of crowds Angus Glen hosted for two PGA Canadian Open Championships in 2002 and 2007. That’s a good thing, he noted, allow-ing fans to get up close and personal to the golfers.
“Pan Am golf can only help us grow tour-ism dollars for York Region and, ideally, for Angus Glen,” he said.
After carding an opening round 75, Colombian Mateo Gomez dropped kudos like tap-in putts. A first-time visitor to York Region, he applauded his hosts.
“The course is in great shape,” said the 21-year-old amateur from Cali. “Everyone has done a great job in terms of organization. The people here are so kind. They have made me feel at home. The region is beautiful. I like
it very much.”Oro-Medonte residents Doug and Fran
Shaw stationed themselves at the 10th tee to watch the women golfers.
“I’ve been at Canadian Opens at Glen Abbey, but this course is much nicer,” Doug said of his first visit to Angus Glen. “The course is an excellent challenge for the play-ers.”
Fran lauded the spectator lines of sight.“The viewing areas are wonderful,” she
said. “The ambiance, trees, greenery and
even the parking are excellent.Canadian team member Garrett Rank
fired a 7-over 79 after round one. “A couple of bad swings cost me big
scores,” the 27-year-old Elmira native said. Still, he’s living the dream.“I’m soaking up the Pan Am experience,”
he said. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime oppor-tunity; one that I’ll remember the rest of my life.”
Rank captured the Canadian Mid-Ama-teur Championship to secure a spot in next week’s RBC Canadian Open. It will be his PGA Tour debut.
With this week’s British Open and Pan Am Games and golf returning to the 2016 Olym-pics, the global focus on the grand old game “is nothing but a positive thing”, Rank said.
“I think this will all help attract young people and spectators to the game.”
Despite his sluggish start, Rank hopes the next three rounds will help contribute to the Canadian squad’s team score, he said, refer-ring to teammates Austin Connelly, 18, and veteran LPGA tour player Lori Kane.
“It’s just cool to be here with all the ath-letes and bleed the red and white of Canada.”
Garrett Rank is a member of Team Canada for the inaugural Pan Am Games golf competition.

Free trade comments without basisRe: Free trade creates jobs, Sunday Forum
by Mark Milke, July 5: bit.ly/1MyemOLMilke is a senior fellow with the Fraser
Institute, which identifies itself as a Conser-vative think tank; an oxymoron. The institute does not have any ideas of its own; it is a marketing organization that supports liber-tarian or Social Credit ideologies.
Its message is simple: government is bad, so we should have as little government as possible. The Conservative Party of Canada no longer represents the traditional Pro-gressive Conservative values, but the Social Credit values of its founders.
Conservative think tanks get funding from big business that loves the idea of less government, so it can do what it wants, when it wants.
Less government is only good when big business operates fairly and ethically. The price of a barrel of oil in June 2014 was around $124 and gas sold for $1.40 per litre. In January 2015, oil was around $55 and gas sold for 86 cents. Now, oil is around $74. Based on these oil prices, June 2015 gas prices should be $1.
What is it now? It’s $1.20 and rising. So much for ethical big business. (infomine.com, gasbuddy.com)
The institute wants to numb your brains. It wants you to think big business should do as it pleases. It wants a market it can exploit

(ours) and a labour force it can exploit (Asia). This is why the top 1 per cent owns more than 50 per cent (Oxfam).
Milke tells us the Great Depression was caused by protectionism. Neither Keynes nor Friedman ever suggested that. I was taught it was largely caused by an inability to pay off existing debts, not that different than what happened during the last financial cri-sis. Clearly, Milke wants to use propaganda to advance the institute’s objectives, even when its own economists don’t support it. It is with a grain of salt I take his assertions that buying Canadian kills jobs in Canada. Exploited labour does not buy Canadian.
It is interesting that Milke declares any-one with an opinion inconsistent with liber-tarianism is wrong.
His assertion that free trade creates many more jobs than it ever kills is also without basis. Our parents had it easy compared to our children. Canada has been very suc-cessful when it embraces social values and rejects libertarianism.
Why did the York Region Media Group publish this opinion?

Prior discussion on children is keySUNDAY FORUM
f you — or someone you know — are childless, by choice or by chance, you may want to check out www.thenotmom.com
website which celebrates women living a child free lifestyle and pro-vides information about a notmom conference to be held in Cleveland Ohio this fall.
In Montreal, 37-year-old Magenta Baribeau recently orga-nized Fête des non-parents, or ‘Child-Free Day’ meant to unite people who choose to remain childless, despite incredible pres-sure from family and society in general to change their minds.
I’m sure that most married couples, especially those who have been married for a year or more, can attest to well intentioned relatives asking “So, when are you going to start a family?”
For some, this may trigger a host of emotions. A couple who has been trying unsuccessfully to conceive may be highly sensitive to this question. Couples who have chosen to remain childless may find it intrusive and judgmental, considering their personal choice.
Despite being called selfish and coaxed into re-considering their position, many couples remain steadfast in their determination to remain a family of two.
Some point to over-population as one reason they have chosen not to have children, while others hon-estly state that they have chosen a lifestyle that might be cramped by the responsibility of taking care of children.
Still others may silently choose not to become parents after being raised in a dysfunctional home environment, or by parents who contributed towards making their children feel more like a burden than a pleasure.
Baribeau, who has spent the past six years working on Maman? Non Merci, a documentary about people who are happily childless, feels that more people should be sensitive to the pressure and preju-dice that people who have chosen to remain childless feel.
After reading about this on CBC news, talking to The Motts on Newstalk 1010 about it and inter-viewing Robin Rinaldi, author of The Wild Oats Project, for my latest podcast titled: What to do when
your partner says no to having a child?, I felt compelled to write this article. My interview with Rinaldi offered a whole other dimension to this topic. It’s one thing for a couple to choose childlessness together, but quite another when a couple is divided or when choice is taken away from either one.
Although Rinaldi’s book has been marketed as one woman’s quest to find sexual passion, I was struck by how much of it was about her yearning for purpose, which included becoming a mother.
After her husband chose to have a vasectomy, thereby blatantly cutting off any possibility of them becoming parents together, she takes brave and risky steps towards finding other meaning in life.
As I, too, have seen when work-ing with clients caught in this dilemma, Rinaldi and her husband sought out counsellors over the course of their marriage. One sug-gested that her husband would come around, which is a common belief when someone says no to having children, but he proved the counsellor wrong and never does.
Learning from her experi-ence, and from what I too have witnessed, I encourage couples to discuss their desire or lack thereof to become parents before they make a long-term commitment to one another. Then, they can either continue their journey together with this understanding or end the relationship, if becoming a parent is a deal breaker for either one.

Newmarket band could be named Next Big ThingBY CHRIS [email protected]
Success is beginning to don on four local bandmates.
The Donnys — singer Jake Wilkinson, gui-tarist Zack Reynolds, bassist Derek Braithwaite and drummer Marco Luciano — have earned a spot in the top 20 of The Edge Next Big Thing contest.
“I feel like we’re going for something new,”
Wilkinson said. “When people ask what my band sounds like, I don’t know. We do what sounds right. There’s a spontaneity about us. Lyrically, half the time I’m just going for what sounds the best, but a lot is about growing up and figuring out where this is going to go. We’re at the point where we’re really romanti-cizing where our music could go.”
With roots in jazz, funk and rock, their sound blends catchy melodies and upbeat rhythms. They formed a strong friendship while attending the Arts Huron program at Huron Heights Secondary School in Newmar-ket, and have created music together for the last two years.
“It just sort of evolved,” Reynolds said. “It started getting serious and we realized we
could do something with this. We’re all really good friends and get along so well. Our music really reflects our closeness.”
Braithwaite agrees.“We all come from such different musical
influences,” he said. “It’s hard to pinpoint one musical genre (for us), because I like hip hop, Marco like jazz and we all listen to something different and we all try to bring that in to whatever we’re writing.”
The band was named after a common say-ing used by a mutual friend. The term ‘Donny’ can be applied jokingly to almost any situation — in a greeting, as a description for a lame person at a party, or even for a band that can’t come up with a more creative name, Wilkin-son said laughing.
If The Donnys win, they’ll earn $25,000, the chance to open the 2015 Edge CASBY music awards, $10,000 in Long & McQuade instruments, Dine Alone Records professional consultation, recording time at Metalworks Studios and a $2,500 Cloud Empire Creative custom merchandise package.
The band is currently in third place in vot-ing and the winner will be announced Aug. 31.
“Right now, we just want to share our music and have people enjoy what we’re doing,” Luciano said. “Jake is very creative with his lyr-ics and there’s always something to it.”
They will play The Jam Spot, 1166 Gorham St., Unit 3, in Newmarket July 24.

Hundreds pack chapel to say farewell to Jonathan AdamsBy Jeremy [email protected]
About 400 people packed into a funeral home chapel to say goodbye to a beloved Newmarket hockey player who left the world far too young.
Family, friends and former teammates shed tears and hugged Friday as they said goodbye to Jonathan Adams, whose tragic story has captivated the community.
The 26-year-old died after struggling with depression — at one point checking himself into a mental health facility.
Several days after he was deemed miss-ing, Adams’ body was found by police in the woods following an extensive search.
Pastor Terry Wiseman, of the Salvation Army, spoke about how important a strong foundation of love is in our lives, rather than “temple” things, including clothes, money and even sports.
“Love is transcendent, so even when gifts of hockey disappear, you still have the foun-dation of love,” he said.
“What happens in the locker room or between players is more important than
what happens on the ice.”He also delved into the role others can
play in the lives of people suffering mental health issues.
“While love and respect are complemen-tary most of the time, sometimes they are not,” he added, explaining that sometimes people’s wishes to be left alone should not be listened to. “There are some times when you have to say, ‘No, I will be here with you, I will be present, I will not leave you alone’ because sometimes love must trump respect.
“Even if the person is upset with you, that’s an expression of love and love is not always easy.”
Pastor Wiseman added that depression is not a “sign of weakness”, rather, a disease like cancer or diabetes.
“For Jon, he battled it, but one day it got the upper hand,” he said.
Family and friends of Adams are currently working on creating a foundation to help those suffering from mental health issues in sports, especially hockey.
Good friend Matt Piva said he’s known many players, including NHL athletes, who have and are struggling with similar issues.
De Zen funeral details releasedBy Jeremy Grimaldi [email protected]
The funeral for James De Zen has been scheduled as countless mourners prepare to pay their respects.
The body of the 46-year-old, known by many as “Jimmy”, was flown to Canada from Las Vegas where he died as the result of an apparent heart attack.
Many family members accompanied his remains across international borders Wednesday night after an autopsy was completed on his body by a United States coroner.
The son of prominent Vaughan entrepre-neur, Vic De Zen, died while taking in one of the world’s largest poker tournaments in the Nevada desert.
His viewing will take place today at 3:30 p.m. at Woodbridge’s St. Clare of Assissi, Vaughan’s largest church.
The funeral will take place at 11 a.m. tomorrow at the church.
JAMES DE ZEN: Funeral plans released for prominent York man who died in Las Vegas last week.
Jonathan Adams’ relatives leave the chapel at Thompson Funeral Home in Aurora Friday.

The decision to downsize a home is often bitter-sweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps older couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement.
But in spite of the financial impact of downsiz-ing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors ho-meowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.
Real estate maRket
The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. The nature of the real estate market depends on a host of factors, including geography. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a con-dominium but the market is not flush with proper-ties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.
FuRnituRe
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store.
Another thing to consider regarding your furni-ture is which items you simply can’t live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centrepiece for your family holidays over the last
several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only pos-sible if he or she has the room for it. Before decid-ing to downsize, consider your attachment to cer-tain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.
PRoximity to Family
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cit-ies or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move fur-ther away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.
medical caRe
Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your cur-rent physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populat-ed towns and cities. In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your ex-isting relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you’re likely to need.
Downsizing your home is not just about moving into a smaller property after the kids have moved out. To ensure you’re making the right decision, many factors must be considered before putting your family home up for sale.

While extremely hot weather can put everyone at risk, seniors are especially susceptible to conditions such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion, fainting and swelling of the hands and feet. Left unchecked, heat-related illnesses can become dangerous, pos-sibly even fatal.
In fact, seniors with the following conditions should be particularly careful about extreme heat this summer:• Breathing difficulties• Heart or kidney problems• Hypertension• A mental illness such as depression or dementia• Parkinson’s disease
If you or a senior in your care takes medication or has a health condition, ask your doctor or pharma-cist if the heat or sun will affect these medications. Be sure to follow their recommendations.
Tips for helping seniors To sTay cool
• Tune into local weather forecasts so you know when to take precautions
• Arrange for friends, family or caregivers to visit you regularly. Visitors will often notice signs of heat illness such as swelling of the hands, feet and an-kles, heat rash and heat cramps (muscle cramps) before you do
• Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If you start to feel confused or if you have a high temperature or feel like you might faint, call 911 or your local emergency number. Check your air conditioner to ensure it works properly. Keep the tempera-ture as cool as is comfortable for you (somewhere between 22°C/72°F and 26°C/79°F)• Use a fan if you have no air conditioner• Drink plenty of fluids before you become thirsty.
Leave a glass by the sink to remind yourself• Eat more fruits and vegetables as they have a
high water count• Wear loose-fitting clothes• Prepare meals that require no heating• Keep your curtains or blinds closed• Take cool showers or baths• If safe, open your windows at night
Tips for seniors to avoid heat illness at homeHelping yourself and the ones you love prevent
heat-related illness could be a matter of life and death. The best defence is awareness. You can find more tips in a series of free brochures published by
Health Canada, which you can order at 1-866-225-0709. Additional information is available on the In-ternet at Canada.ca by searching for Extreme Heat.

Good friends on the badminton court, good friends off of it, too.
But for 26 minutes, Markham resident Michelle Li and Toronto resident Rachel Honderich put their friendships on hold as they took to the Atos Markham Pan Am Centre court in the women’s singles’ gold medal match of the 2015 Pan American Games Thursday.
In the end, the 23-year-old and Games’ No. 1 seeded Li retained her Pan American Games gold medal title with a 2-0 (21-15, 21-9) victory over her Games doubles’ partner before a sold out and appreciative gathering.
“I’m definitely happy that both of us made it to the final. But I hate to play my teammate. But I guess it’s in the spirit of the Games,” Li said in defeating her close friend for the coveted gold medal.
“We do everything together like have breakfast, go to the gym to workout and train together. The whole week (during the Pan Am Games) we’ve been pretty close. It’s tough to see her lose. But we’re mature enough to know when we’re on the court we’re playing for ourselves.”
Acknowledging their friendship, Honder-ich, 19, accentuated the positive by noting a loss to Li is nothing to be ashamed of.
Especially since Li is the top-ranked Canadian women’s singles’ player.
“There’s no one I’d rather play and lose to,” she said upon conclusion of their match. “Michelle is the 15th ranked player in the world. She’s the best player in Canada and in the Pan Am Zone.
“I’m really happy for her.”For a while in the first game, Honderich
and Li were involved in a closely contested affair as they battled to an 11-11 tie.
Like flicking on a switch, Li began to dic-tate play and reeled off the next six points to
TORONTO 2015: York Region athletes
Markham’s Li wins Pan Am badminton gold on home courttake a 17-11 lead which she would not relin-quish for the remainder of that game.
With momentum on her side, Li got off to a good start in the second game and took a 10-3 lead that she would retain until the final point.
Reflecting on her victory, Li — who has been playing in the Pan Am Games with a strained right Achilles tendon and injury to her hamstring-quadriceps area of her right leg incurred a couple of weeks ago — said it was a case of just trying to get a feel for the game since they both know each other’s strengths and shortcomings.
“The first game we were both trying to feel how we were going to play as we are both very familiar with each other’s game,” she explained. “There are many tactics we could have used against each other.
“I think in the second game when I added more pace, she had trouble adjusting and that’s when I got a big lead.”
While elated to see an all Canadian final, Ram Nayyar, Team Canada head coach, felt what separated Li from Honderich was her feel for the game.
“Her instinctiveness and her ability to focus is what makes her a special player,” he said.
Retaining her Pan American Games gold medal title, Li said she appreciated this one far more than her first one at the 2011 Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.
“At the 2011 Games I was still young and naive and didn’t know how important the Pan American Games tournament was.
“Know I know it’s a big tournament and it was at home. To win before my friends, fam-ily and even my elementary school teacher who I haven’t seen in a while, was special,” the Richmond Hill High School graduate said.

Richmond Hill resident Carol Zhao and Ottawa’s Gaby Dabrowski captured the women’s doubles’ ten-nis gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games.
But it definitely wasn’t easy as they were taken to the limit before prevailing with a 2-1 win over Victo-ria Rodriguez and Marcela Zaharias of Mexico at the Canadian Tennis Centre Thursday.
In a match that took just over one hour to play, Zhao and Dabrowski took the first set 6-1 before Rodriguez and Zaharias rallied to take the second 4-6.
The deciding tiebreaker set saw Zhao, 20, and Dabrowski, 23, record a 10-5 decision to claim the gold medal.
A Bill Crothers Secondary School graduate who attends Stanford University, Zhao felt good about their chances to win the gold.
“We were in a position to win, they played a tight game in the second set and we played better in the tie breaker.”
“I wasn’t happy with the way I finished the second set,” said Dabrowski, who earned her second gold medal a the Games after joining forces with Philip Bester to win the mixed doubles’ title over Guido Andreozzi and Maria Irigoyen of Argentina Wednes-day. “But it was nice to win the tiebreaker.”
At the same time, she was quick to give credit to Rodriguez and Zaharias and anticipated their match would not be a cakewalk.
“Rodriguez has performed well all week, and they made it to the finals which means they are a good team, so we definitely had high expectations for them.”
In winning the gold medal, Zhao said to do it on home soil was extra special as these opportunities to do so do not happen every day.
“It feels amazing, like I said yesterday, you don’t get many chances to play in games like this in your home town. Winning it on home court was really incredible.”
