Police: East Marion Woman Charged With DWI

Southold Town Police charge an East Marion woman with driving while intoxicated.

The following information was supplied by the Southold Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation, and does not indicate convictions.

Corinne Fitting, 53, of East Marion, was charged with driving while intoxicated on Saturday at 1:59 a.m., after she was observed crossing over the yellow line on Route 48 in Greenport, police said. Fitting admitted to drinking prior to driving  and failed roadside sobriety tests, police said. She was arrested and transported to police headquarters in Peconic where she was processed and lodged.

Oysterponds school teacher? Protected by Teachers Union! Yes to both

This Oysterponds school teacher has been drinking and driving for years. She has two Orders of Protection against her amongst other charges like vandalism but is still employed by Oysterponds School. But instead the school has decided to lay off the special education teacher and the librarian to balance the budget. Why not lay off Ms. Fitting and save $100,000 a year? It must be nice to be protected by the teachers union. I'm glad my children don't go to school there.

Teachers unions do not protect against criminal charges. They are there to protect teachers against violations of their contracts. Lawyers protect those who have run afoul of the law.

ec - another bleeding heart lib. who could care less about lawbreakers and drunk drivers... and by ignorant do you mean disambiguation or witlessness hmmmm and the reason we choose to stay here is we can avoid the copious quantities of mindless non-caring people who drive drunk where some come from.
Eve Cooke April 25, 2012 at 07:09 pm
Not a liberal but who actually has time for this, to post negative things about other people. It's just mind blowing that people have nothing else to do but do that. So there is some foward thinking for you, get a life and get off the computer.

FT - Clearly conservatives provided you the "freedom" to spell and punctuate horrendously "all (you) want." Politicizing your comments only reveals your inability to reason; better hope your children manage to grow up to be teachers, but as such, they'd be better served without inheriting your myopia.

horrendously - myopia.- Both are symptomatic of too much liberal Input. bty it was not about other people - just drunk driving idiots.
thatgirl June 16, 2012 at 07:54 pm
yeah, those "socialist" public schools really did a number on many of us! better de-fund them and welcome charter schools formed via the generosity of hedge funders before more of us espouse an opinion, not to mention entertain "input." step away from the keyboard, angry troll!

even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatantRead More violation, what were his comments?? To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote: "I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."

Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.
Scotty June 16, 2013 at 08:41 pm
And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.

I've just tried to do a Google search for you and from what I've found you need to either check withRead More your local library to see if they have one they might lend you--OR--try Audio/Visual online companies. There are some which DO rent projectors for days or weekends. I have one but just checked with my husband and at the very least it needs a replacement bulb(which are fairly expensive)--hasn't been looked at in years so there's no way I could guarantee it would work. You've definitely given me an idea, though--I'll get mine in shape at some point and rent it to folks for a nominal sum. I'm sure there are many others who have old film they'd enjoy viewing for family reunions as would my own family. Good luck. If you don't succeed for next weekend, you have other options. At the very least you might be able to have the film transposed to a DVD and distributed to your family members although that's costly too, depending on how many copies you need. Just a thought, but you could add the old footage in with some taken AT the reunion as a nice follow-up gift for the attendees?

I think it adds character.
Eric Larson June 11, 2013 at 07:51 pm

I believe this photo is a poor example of pollution on Long Island. I would prefer to see and photoRead More of a million dollar home with a lush green lawn mowed to a bulkhead above the waters edge. I believe the excess fertilizers used to keep the invasive specie of the lawn grasses green along with the broad-leaf pesticides to keep the "weeds" controlled are a prime source of pollution to our local bays, estuaries and ocean front.
Christopher Casey June 13, 2013 at 01:14 pm
Thank you for your comment Steve, we have a big section of the land pollution chapter specificallyRead More about run-off pollution related to pesticides and other toxins. We really need more fundraising to help us, visit the fundraiser page here: http://igg.me/at/long-island-pollution/x/3272641 to donate and become a contributor to the film. Thank you for your support!
