Your Prism Schism cover [April 1] made me think one of our best-loved (at least locally) institutions was falling apart.

I stopped reading the article when the reporter quoted a message left on an answering machine. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think this article is in bad taste, an invasion of privacy, and calculated to find controversy in what I gather is still the Prism and will remain so.

With all the surface buffing we're doin' to smooth any vestiges of character off the face of the town, I hate to see you inciting division in the very heart of the town itself.
