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)

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

The Secret Taps of Central New York: Where To Find Free, Fresh Spring Water

We all have ways of saving some money, some a little more unique than others. When it comes to water, especially drinking water, things could get costly. For those in areas with sulfur water or higher levels of contaminants, sometimes bottled is the only option. Personally, I prefer tap water and always have. Sure, I won't turn down a bottle of purified 'fancy" water if it's free.

12 Classic Diners In New York Where You Can Dine For Just Less Than $12 Even In 2026

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.

Remediation work beginning on former Utica city dump

The former Utica city dump, a New York State Superfund site, is getting cleaned up. Work will start soon, according to a recent update from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which, although sent in early November, also said the work was expected to start in October. The $43 million remediation project, being paid for by the state superfund program, is expected to take about two years. It will restore the site for industrial or commercial use. The 126-acre dump, located between Leland Road, the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal, was used as a municipal dump for decades, but local industries also disposed of some of their waste there. And some illegal dumping took place after the initial, 55-acre municipal dump closed in 1972. Site assessments from over the years, dating back as far as 1988, mention clusters of rusted barrels, at least two containing a white powder and many so rusted their contents disappeared. The assessments also mention seepage of leachate, sometimes into pools and at least one orange “stream” flowing into the Mohawk. Former workers at the dumps who were interviewed mentioned numerous fires. They said some were caused by spontaneous combustion; some of the
