East/WOI gets its title shot back but will be shorthanded

The door is open for the East High/World of Inquiry football team to play in the Section V Class B championship game Nov. 14, after a ruling by a state athletic association and a Section V official to reinstate the Eagles into the high school tournament. East High/World of Inquiry won a semifinal game at Monroe, 14-6, last Saturday. But seconds after a tackle on the final play of the elimination game Nov. 7, players from both teams began fighting on the field, including those who were on the sidelines. Officials at both schools said they were notified later that day each team was disqualified from the tournament. The decision was made this week and announced Nov. 11 to allow East/World of Inquiry to play Honeoye Falls-Lima, 3 p.m. Saturday at Saint John Fisher University. "I was very optimistic that they were going to find out who was involved and who was not involved," East High/World of Inquiry coach James Vann said. "Hope was still alive. We kept it business as usual (by practicing leading up to a game). "I knew they were going to do their due diligence." Rochester City School District superintendent Eric Jay Rosser said in a

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.

Micro-bakery for Japanese milk breads opens downtown storefront | Exclusive

When Bryson Embernate launched Maishokupan in August , he was baking his soft Japanese breads out of The Commissary, a shared kitchen space in Sibley Square downtown. Each noon, he'd roll out a small cart of his loaves and sandos and sell them for half-hour, unless he sold out sooner. Just a few months later, he's launched his own storefront, but he hasn't gone far. Maishokupan is now up and running in Sibley Square's food hall called Mercantile on Main. The soft opening, which began in late October, has brought lines of people when he opens his front door each noon. The first hour is usually hectic, he said, and the cooler, filled with neat rows of sandwiches and bread creations, empties rapidly. "I'm so grateful," he said, saying the business has ramped up much more quickly than he originally anticipated. What's on the menu at Maishukopan Maishokupan bakes Japanese milk breads called shokupan, giving them sweet and savory twists. Embernate launches a new seasonal menu each month, which he posts in advance on Instagram. Each day of the week brings a different lineup, which repeats weekly throughout the month.
