Two new No. 1 teams shake up Section V football Super 10

The twists and turns which come with sports seasons are part of the appeal of it all. When the unexpected unfolds, it can leave fans with jaws dropped or heads scratching. The East High/World of Inquiry Eagles are one of the two new No. 1 ranked teams in the Democrat and Chronicle Super 10 polls. But the Eagles find out this week whether their season is over with a win or if they can play in the Section V Class B final Nov.14. East High/World of Inquiry won its tournament semifinal, 14-6, over No. 1 seed Monroe last weekend. But after defeating the 2025 state champion, the Eagles are waiting for a ruling from either Section V or the New York State Public High School Athletic Association after Monroe and East High/World of Inquiry players engaged in fights on the field. Meanwhile, the Rush-Henrietta Royal Comets, the new top-ranked team from a large school, know that they are playing No. 2 Pittsford in the Section V Class AA final, 6 p.m. Nov. 14 at Saint John Fisher University.

No robotaxis for Rochester—yet

On a gray day in November 2025, when Rochester roads were slick and the lawns still coated with early winter snow, something new rolled down the avenues. The spinning LiDAR receptor on the roof, plus more on the fenders, were bouncing millions of laser beams off surrounding objects. Multiple cameras plus radars fed into an onboard computer digesting and verifying all this location information and commanding the vehicle to drive down the street (although there was a human stand-by driver onboard for this run). The sight was odd enough for WROC to report it on the news. This Waymo self-driving taxi (robotaxi) was headed for Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva for an exhibit arranged by state Sen. Jeremy Cooney (for his alma mater). Waymo is a division of Alphabet, the company formerly called Google.

How Long is “A Country Mile”?

What’s the origin of the phrase a country mile? Vida from Rochester, New York, says her husband often uses it, as in “go about a country mile and then make a left.” The expression goes back at least 300 years in the United Kingdom and has long meant “an approximate distance.” Bumpy, unpaved, curvy roads out in the countryside may make a real mile feel much longer. Variants include Irish mile, Welsh mile, Scots mile, and Kentish mile. The idiom often turns up in baseball, where announcers exaggerate the distance by saying a ball was hit a country mile or a pitch missed by a country mile. The word mile itself comes from Latin for “one thousand,” suggesting the measure of “a thousand paces.” This is part of a complete episode.
