15 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Cooperstown, New York

Most people arrive in Cooperstown knowing exactly what they want to see. They walk along Main Street toward the National Baseball Hall of Fame, visit Doubleday Field, or make their way down to Otsego Lake. Yet the history of this small Central New York village extends far beyond baseball. Writers, scientists, publishers, judges, artists, and people who helped shape American culture have called Cooperstown home.

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.

Veteran suicides up in NY: Utica nonprofit gets $750K prevention grant

The Utica Center for Development was awarded a $750,000 federal grant to expand its veteran suicide prevention efforts. The nonprofit will use the grant money to strengthen suicide prevention services including community outreach, peer support, individualized case management, suicide prevention education and connections to mental health services and other resources for veterans. The money will support a program team of about 10 employees dedicated to helping veterans and their families navigate challenges that can contribute to suicide risk. These risk factors include social isolation, financial instability, housing insecurity and barriers to accessing care. The center will provide these services in 13 counties that include rural and underserved communities where access to suicide prevention and support services has been limited. Those counties include Oneida, Herkimer, Madison, Otsego, Lewis, Fulton, Hamilton, Jefferson, Albany, Delaware, Greene, St. Lawrence and Ulster. "Every veteran deserves to know that help is available, that their life matters and that they are never alone," said Vincent Scalise, CEO of the Utica Center for Development, in a statement. "This $750,000 investment will allow us to strengthen our outreach efforts, build meaningful relationships, and connect veterans with the support they need before challenges become crises. “Our goal is simple: to

Madison County housing report: Market tough for renters, homebuyers

Madison County isn’t the easiest place in which to find a good rental unit or to buy an affordable home these days, according to a new county report on housing. The median home price in the county’s historically affordable housing market rose by about $100,000 between 2020 and 2026 because there aren’t enough homes on the market, according to the recently released Madison County 2026 Housing Assessment. And more than two out of three rental units in the county will be at least 50 years old by 2030. But local rents aren’t high enough for landlords to afford the necessary maintenance and upgrades, according to the report. That doesn’t mean, though, that apartments are easily affordable for county residents. About two out of three renters earning $50,000 annually or less pay more for rent than they can really afford, the assessment found. And that number goes up to more than 80% for renters earning less than $35,000 a year. And that gloomy assessment hits as the county is hoping to benefit from new residents moving to the county to take advantage of economic development efforts in Central New York, such as the Micron complex being built in Clay. “This report
