LAFAYE'I'rE-NICOLLET LEDGERSeptember 19, 2002, Page 2amNotes from the editor's desk by Ruth Klossncr To say that last Thursday was not a good day at the Ledger officewould be a gross understatement. From the first message on the answeringmachine, before I even got to work, to the last call before I evacuated theoffice in mid-afternoon, things were on the downslide. As virtually all ofi you know, in my haste to get the paper Off to press first thing Wednesday morning, I made a huge error in reporting the results of the sheriffs race,i reversing the names of two candidates. I had first intended to tab the names: in, listing the first and second place f'mishers on the top line, and the thirdand fourth on the second line. After typing the names, I changed my mind,deciding instead to put the top two in the left "column." I copied the votetotals correctly, but failed to change the names to go with the numbers. Iknow that's no excuse, but that's what happened. We, at the Ledger, take pride in putting out an accurate newspaper and we failed to do that last week. That doesn't sit well with us. Making that kind of a mistake made me very disgusted with myself and had me in a bad mood the rest of the week. All I can do is apologize for the mistake and try harder not to let anything like it happen again. And "when it rains, it pours." For good measure, we goofed up on a i couple of other things, too. Again, our apologies. One of our readers also questioned why we didn't have photos of the winning sheriff's candidates in the paper last week, noting that "other ,papers did." Considering that we had just published photos of all candi- dates the week before, we didn't feel it was necessary. It's also something i that the Ledger has not done in the past.We go to press by 9:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. Consequently, Deband I try to have the entire paper finished before we go home Tuesdayi afternoon (or evening, if need be). There's not enough time between 8:00iand 9:00 a.m. to do much more than check the email and fax, add a fewlast minute details, check for last minute obituaries, and get the paper senti off. Surely not enough time to do much changing on the front page.: And, just for the record, I checked five area weekly newspapers thati come out Thursday. Yes, two pictured successful sheriff candidates in thei coverage. One listed results only, but the other two didn't even mention mary election at all. Evidently they'll include it this week.
