Victim, deputies statements expand on Clayville hatchet attack

Court documents have shed light on the hatchet attack at the Pratt and Whitney plant in Clayville that left one person in intensive care. According to the Oneida County Sheriff Robert Maciol, at around 4:41 p.m. on Nov. 6, the Oneida County 911 Center received several calls from people all reporting the same thing — that a man had attacked two people with a hatchet at the Pratt and Whitney / Homogeneous Metals Inc plant, located at 2395 Main Street in the village of Clayville. Since then, a temporary extreme risk protection order has been filed against suspect Zachary Stowell, 23, of Poland, and includes a statement from one of the victims.

The upstate county that bucked the blue wave

ONEIDA OUTLIER: When in Rome, vote Republican if you want to do as the locals do. As the blue tsunami crashed over the country last week, a comprehensive list of silver linings for New York Republicans could fit on a post-it note. But it was a great night for the party in Oneida County. Assembly candidate Mike Gentile flipped the seat that covers the cities of Utica and Rome and has remained stubbornly blue for decades. The Assembly seat was the only GOP pickup in the state Legislature’s 213 districts on a night when Democrats managed to flip 23% of the 69 seats that Republicans had won in 2024. Meanwhile, Republican Jared Pearl ousted the county’s Democratic Sheriff Robert Maciol. A four-term incumbent, Maciol won his 2022 race with 79% of the vote. And the county was responsible for electing Republican Anthony Constantino to Congress. Democrat Blake Gendebien flipped the rest of that district. While Republican Elise Stefanik won the district’s 14 non-Oneida counties by 69,000 votes two years ago, Gendebien won them by 1,500. But Constantino won Oneida by 6,800 last week. The GOP congressional campaign focused on driving up turnout in the candidate’s home turf, a corner of

Blue waves are for other places; Oneida, Herkimer counties voted red

The Mohawk Valley loves red, whether it’s in fall leaves, on the Utica Comets’ uniforms or top of a delicious tomato pie. They also love a lot of red in their politics. Voters in Oneida and Herkimer counties launched a red resistance to the blue tsunami that swept across much of the country on Election Day, voting overwhelmingly for Republican candidates for federal, state and local offices. Voters in Oneida and Herkimer counties overwhelmingly elected Republicans to county and municipal offices as well as state seats contained within the counties. And they strongly favored Republicans in statewide elections and for seats in districts that crossed county lines. Two seats in Oneida County did flip in the election, but to Republicans. Incumbent Sheriff Rob Maciol, a Democrat, lost his re-election bid to Republican Jared Pearl. And Republican Mike Gentile won the seat currently held by Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon — a Democrat who did not seek reelection — in the 119 th Assembly District against Jon Lipe. “What stands out to me is how Oneida County has become more Republican in recent years,” said Luke Perry, distinguished professor of political science at Utica University. “When Anothony Brindisi won the county (and NY-22)

Kathy Hochul shares the ‘reward’ she is saving for herself after gov election romp

Kathy’s terms of endurement Talking to our newly re-elected governor . Kathy Hochul. During the campaign, it was many interviews, plus the debate. “Was there nervousness? Sure. Anxiety drives me to work. But I won’t spend time being nervous. I prep my reactions carefully. With a team. I anticipated the questions. Lots of prep. Like what shots will come to me. “I told my family to stop reading negative stories. Going into the studio for the debate I prepped myself. I knew nobody but me myself could make me nervous. I don’t worry. I choose not to. “I have everyone’s same feelings but my mother taught me, ‘It’s all your own choice.’ Brace for off-the-rails DSA lunacy as Albany goes bluer than ever “I repeated to myself, ‘No one can make you feel badly without your permission. No one can control my emotions.’ “My husband hugged me on this tough day and I heard my kids’ voices. I knew I wouldn’t flub anything. Time came. My family was in another room. The family asked, ‘You OK?’ I said yes. They said, ‘You sure?’ I said yes. I high-fived them. I kissed them all and went out. “I cleared my head.

One diner on this list was built in a factory in 1937. It didn’t reach its current home until 2017, so the restaurant took a road trip before you did. Another has been serving hot dogs at a narrow counter since 1932. A third opens at 5 a.m. and closes at 11 a.m., which makes lunch there basically a rumor.
