There have been two homicides in Shelter Island history and in his 35 years of service, Police Officer David McGayhey responded to both. When he was off-duty one day in 1998, he responded to a call for back-up and found himself at the scene of a crime with a contained, but still-armed homicide suspect. Decades later he responded to the home in Silver Beach where the Reverend Paul Wancura was found bound and severely injured.

At 10 p.m. on a Thursday evening in April, the contractions began. The due date wasn’t for another two weeks, and mom-in-waiting’s check-up the day before showed no signs of a baby ready to make an appearance. At dawn on Friday, the grandmother-to-be learned she had slept through the first eight hours of labor and her first grandchild was about to be born 100 miles away. She jumped into her Honda and drove the entire length of the Long Island Expressway like a State Trooper in hot pursuit.

To walk into Freezer #2 at Long Island Ice & Fuel is to step away from the streets of downtown Riverhead and into the presence of a glacier. The temperature is somewhere between 17- and 25-degrees Fahrenheit and there is an astounding amount of ice stacked in the cavernous room. This 125-year-old company can store two million pounds of bagged ice at a time. Freezer Number Two holds about a day’s supply during the busy season.
