JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 It’s crunch time for groups trying to get redistricting reform proposals on the November ballot in several states. Initiative supporters face early July deadlines in Arkansas, North Dakota and Oregon to turn in thousands of petition signatures needed to qualify for the ballot. Nevada activists face an August deadline. Petitioning efforts have been complicated by coronavirus restrictions and social distancing precautions. The proposals would create independent commissions to draw new voting districts in 2021 based on this year’s census results. That task currently is handled by partisan elected officials in many states.<\/p>\n
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 A federal judge has sentenced a North Dakota pharmacist to 20 years in prison for using a hidden camera to secretly record a female guest in his home and sharing the images with others. Fifty-two-year-old Curtis McGarvey of Bismarck was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty in March to two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of cyberstalking. U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley says McGarvey targeted and exploited the child victim and the sentence was \u201ca just result to punish this defendant and deter others.” The Bismarck Tribune reports U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland also ordered McGarvey to pay $4,900 in restitution to the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

As a sophomore in the virus-shortened 2020 season, Sabato batted .292 with seven homers, 18 RBIs and 22 walks in 19 games.<\/p>\n

MLB holds off on imposing schedule until protocols locked in<\/p>\n
NEW YORK (AP) \u2014Major League Baseball has issued a 60-game schedule that will start July 23 or 24 in empty ballparks as the sport tries to push ahead amid the coronavirus following months of acrimony.

Each team will play 10 games against each of its four division rivals and four games against each of the five clubs in the corresponding division in the other league, according to details obtained by The Associated Press. The sides expanded the designated hitter to games involving National League teams and will start extra innings with a runner on second base.<\/p>\n
The union committed its members to start reporting July 1 \u2014 those who decide to report. High-risk individuals would be allowed to opt out and still receive salary and service time, but others who sit out would get neither money nor the service credit needed for eligibility for free agency and salary arbitration.<\/p>\n

ST. LOUIS (AP) \u2014 The St. Louis Cardinals have signed first-round draft pick Jordan Walker for $2.9 million, which comes just under the slot value for the 21st overall pick. Walker is a power-hitting third baseman picked out of high school. The Cardinals continued Tuesday to bring their selections from the first-year player draft under contract.

Jones, an outfielder from Long Beach State.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the draft:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Tampa Bay Rays have reached terms with first-round draft pick Nick Bitsko, giving the Pennsylvania high school pitcher a $3 million signing bonus. The 18-year-old right-hander was the 24th overall selection after going 4-2 with a 1.27 ERA and 68 strikeouts in two seasons at Central Bucks East High. Several months after announcing plans to graduate a year early, Bitsko\u2019s final prep season was canceled this spring due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Kansas City Royals have signed all six of their draft picks, including first-rounder Asa Lacy, along with seven undrafted free agents that together give the rebuilding franchise one of the best incoming crops of first-year players in the majors. The club announced the 13 signings on Tuesday with Lacy being the headliner. The big, rangy left-hander out of Texas A&M was widely considered the top college arm in the draft, yet he slid to the Royals at the fourth overall pick.<\/p>\n

Rope found hanging in Wallace\u2019s garage was called coincidence<\/p>\n
undated (AP) \u2014 The rope found hanging in Bubba Wallace\u2019s garage at Talladega Superspeedway was not a hate crime.

NASCAR stood by its decision to investigate the discovery found in the stall of its only Black driver. Wallace successfully called for a ban of the Confederate flag and has become an activist for the sport during a push for racial equality.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The 2019 state crime report shows that North Dakota saw a record 26 homicides last year, a number that Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem called the \u201cone bleak spot\u201d in the annual summary. Stenehjem says 10 of the killings were the result of domestic violence, two of which involved infants, and 10 of the victims were shot to death. There were 17 homicides reported in 2018. Stenehjem says the rest of the report \u201cincludes mostly encouraging news on the crime front,\u201d The long-term rate of the most serious offenses appears to have reached a plateau and even declined. Aggravated assaults, drug offenses, and drunken driving numbers were all down in 2019.<\/p>\n
