• Shelter Island Police Department blotter: Sept. 22, 2026 (timesreview.com) — Recent Shelter Island police and EMS reports detail two DWI arrests, traffic tickets, marine issues, and several false fire and carbon monoxide alarms across neighborhoods like Cartwright, Silver Beach, and Dering Harbor. Officers also handled animal calls, 9/11 ceremony traffic, school crossings, and multiple medical emergencies with transports to local hospitals.
   

• Guest Column: How nor'easters reshape the fall fishery (timesreview.com) — A local fishing columnist explains how the season’s first nor’easter can quickly disrupt bait and striped bass patterns around the Peconics, Shelter Island, and the North Fork.
