Since this disease/virus/flu/Captain Trips took over our lives the day before Christmas and nearly mopped the floor with us during production week last week, it’s not surprising that we found at least one typo in this issue that’s being put out on the stands right now.
And this one, like the one last issue, is somewhat amusing. But at least it’s not on the front page.
Actually, it’s not so much of a typo as it is something that needs a correction/clarification, since our source on something had received mistaken information. In the article appearing on page 24 of the January Special Edition, “Sheriff’s candidate switches parties to try and knock former sheriff out in Primary,” the developer of the campaign website for “Republican” (in quotations because he’s never had a Republican thought in his life) candidate Mike Mefford, Nikki Sapp, was incorrectly identified as Lawrenceville city cop Brandon Sapp’s adopted daughter, when in reality, she’s his new wife. Number 4 if we’re counting correctly, although it could be Number 5 and we missed one. Simple situation of asking around to find out who this Nikki Sapp was when the article was in production, and more than one person from Lawrence County identified her as a kid. Of course, if this is the particular Nicole Sapp we’re aware of, her tender age of 26 basically makes her a “kid” to us old folk…and about the right age for yet another cradle-robbing cop in Lawrence, as a large amount of them have such a proclivity to do and have done for YEARS.
Here’s Brandon “Little Man” Sapp (you’d have to read papers from 2005-06 to know what the nickname stands for) and his chubby most recent bride:
Sapp, in self-aggrandization mode
So, here’s yet another mistake we will bust ourselves out over, and here’s our clarification…and, like before, we apologize to the very young Ms. Sapp for tagging her as an offspring when she’s really a spouse. We’re happy to re-run the WHOLE STORY again if you’d like, with clarification…right there on the front page, if need be. And to the haters, remember: A typo is a mistake. A mistake is NOT a “lie.” Those who think they can claim any different don’t do us any damage…they just make themselves appear ignorant…so it’s probably not a good idea to make such a claim…especially in light of the fact that we acknowledged it before your paper even hit the stands.
