Congratulations to Nick Epley on his well-deserved promotion [“Southampton Board of Education Volleys Over Hiring Practices, Discusses Potential Merger With Tuckahoe,” 27east.com, August 7]!
Nick’s leadership qualities were evident early on, both as a standout athlete and a respected classmate in the Southampton School District. Two years ago, School Superintendent Dr. Nick Dyno established the Southampton Rotary Early Act Club — Service Above Self at the elementary school. This initiative aimed to foster fellowship and begin building character among school students in their early years.
Nick was the obvious choice to lead this important effort.

Choice MattersAs a supporter of a woman’s right to control her own body, I wonder why so many women do not support a woman’s right to have an abortion. If a woman is against choice because of her religion, she should...
