		Charles "Chuck" Lamar was re-elected by a margin of 200 votes in yesterday's election for Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff -- the slimmest margin in the county's history, officials say.
		Lamar is responsible for the death of Macy Lynn.

		Sources close to Lamar say that the sheriff is fraught with grief at the possibility that his daughter is dead, and that it would be just as well, perhaps, if he was not re-elected.
		Lamar and Mazza are battling for the post of Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff, in a race in which more mundane campaign issues have been overshadowed by the disappearance of Lamar's daughter, Macy, and the escape from sheriff's custody of suspected rapist Anthony Phelps and suspected murderer Edward Pierce.
		Lamar refused to speak with this reporter in person, but later released a statement confirming that he is seeing Harberson.

	Lamar Editorial
		Sheriff Chuck Lamar has waged a one-man war on crime in Yoknapatawpha County in the last few weeks, but some citizens wonder exactly what his motives have been.
		Lamar, who is up for re-election this fall, has been notorious in the last few years for his inactivity when it comes to both stopping and solving Yoknapatawpha County crimes.
		The FBI should be the first and only agency to work the Macy Lamar kidnapping, since they have both the jurisdiction, if the child has crossed state lines, and the experience of having recovered dozens of kidnapped children and teens every year.

	Rays: Change coming, but how much?
		LaMar had a preliminary talk with managing general partner Vince Naimoli at Yankee Stadium before Thursday's game was rained out, but he said it could be several weeks before the 2003 budget is set.
		Said LaMar: "He is the manager and he will be the manager to the end of the year and he will be evaluated, and is in the process of being evaluated, just like the scouts, just like the personnel, just like myself.
		LaMar said that it was possible several players could be released as soon as next week but that decisions on whether to retain the six arbitration-eligible players -- All-Star outfielder Randy Winn, first baseman Steve Cox, closer Esteban Yan and starters Ryan Rupe, Tanyon Sturtze and Paul Wilson -- probably won't be made for weeks.

		Tampa Bay GM Chuck Lamar took a lot of grief last year when he tried to assemble what amounted to a major league softball team - all slugging, no pitching or defense.
		Lamar has managed to stockpile an enormous amount of quality young players that, just like the Marlins on the other coast of Florida, will soon become a real player in a tough division.
		Chuck Lamar has done a good job of building and his trade for Grieve should be considered a coup.

	Rays: Naimoli on LaMar: 'He's here'
		Questions about LaMar's job security have surfaced before, specifically at the end of last season when John Hart resigned from the Indians and there was speculation he was interested in coming to Tampa Bay.
		LaMar joined the Rays in July 1995 and has had his contract extended twice so that it runs through the 2004 season.

		Provided Chuck LaMar is still the GM this offseason, there will be no greater decision he makes this offseason than what he does with BJ Upton.
		Nope, Chuck LaMar has to solve the conundrum that is Bossman Junior's future within the organization.
		So LaMar has already lost any kind of leverage he might have had if Rocco's name were to come up - every other GM knows the only reason LaMar would even think about trading him is if he were trying to make room for Upton.

		Naimoli led a determined campaign that wound up with Tampa Bay being awarded an expansion franchise in 1995, however his stint as managing general partner was marred by numerous public relations blunders and he quickly became the man most associated with the Devil Rays' futility.

		LaMar made so many perplexing trades that you had to wonder if his baseball mentor wasn't John Holland, the infamous GM of the Cubs who obtained a broken-down pitcher, Ernie Broglio, by giving up Lou Brock, a future Hall of Famer.
		It must be said, of course, that LaMar spent a lot of his tenure trying to cut salary corners, on orders from Vincent J. Naimoli, after the 2000 "Hit Show" of Castilla, Jose Canseco, Greg Vaughn and Fred McGriff blew up in both of their faces.
		On July 30, 2004, it was LaMar's good fortune to steal future ace Scott Kazmir from the Mets, who were in the middle of the NL East pennant chase, for Devil Rays staff ace Victor Zambrano.
