Aug. 8: Tell Us How 9/11 Changed Your Life

We want to commemorate 9/11 by hearing your stories this week.

1. Over the next few weeks, North Fork Patch will be compiling stories on the various ways the attacks of Sept. 11 have affected your life, even in the simplest of ways — please let us know how your view of the world has changed 10 years after the fact. Please email editor Erin Schultz at erins@patch.com.

5. New winery legislation has made local vintners very happy — the legislation, signed into law July 22 eases the reporting for out-of-state shipments, allows wineries to take part in an unlimited number of charity events, and allows wineries to crush grapes for smaller operations that lack the capacity to do it for themselves. Stay tuned for the full story.
