Update…
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A family attorney has identified a teenager from Minnesota who died after being found unresponsive in a North Dakota State University residence hall.
Attorney Paul O. Taylor issued a statement Monday identifying the teen as 17-year-old Devin Delaney of Burnsville. Taylor said the family requested privacy.
Campus police were notified about an unresponsive teen at Sevrinson Hall about midday Sunday. The live-saving efforts of emergency medical crews were unsuccessful.
The teen was not a student at the Fargo university, which allows guests to stay overnight in dorms.
Burnsville High School declined immediate comment. North Dakota’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation also declined comment.
NDSU didn’t immediately provide additional details about the investigation.
A GoFundMe site established to raise money for funeral expenses raised about $10,600 in its first five hours Monday.
WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — The zoo in Wahpeton has a new animal that’s considered spiritually significant in several Native American religions.
The Chahinkapa Zoo has acquired a white bison named Ska from a ranch in Selfridge. Ska is named for the Native American word for white.
The yearling weighs between 600 and 700 pounds. Zoo curator Tom Schmaltz says Ska is unique because he’s the product of recessive genes. White bison are rare. But Ska is not considered a true albino because he doesn’t have pink eyes.
Ska shares zoo space with three other bison. Schmaltz says they get along great because bison are herd animals and like living together.
The herd also includes Corso, which has served as the mascot of the North Dakota State University football team.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A federal judge has partially sided with a company suing the Minot Public School District for $1.9 million in unpaid services following the 2011 Souris River flood.
The reports that Storm Team Robbins, LLC was hired under the name ServPro of the Seacoast by the district to clean flood damaged schools. The Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursed most of those expenses.
ServPro is suing the district for the remaining expenses. But district officials argue that ServPro’s owner told the district it wouldn’t be charged over what FEMA paid.
Judge Daniel Hovland has ruled that there was a breach of contract. He says the lawsuit will be resolved by a jury trial.
A trial scheduled for Oct. 10 has been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date.

In world and national news…
ATLANTA (AP) — Even with federal help, states typically have to pay tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to respond to floods, fires and other natural disasters, stressing their budgets. Tough economic times leading to lower tax revenue can make the problem worse, forcing states to cut spending for other programs and services. Two-thirds of all states had lower-than-expected tax revenue last year.
PASADENA, Texas (AP) — A U.S. government hotline received three reports of spills at a heavily polluted Superfund toxic waste site near Houston after Harvey flooding. Aerial government photographs reviewed by The Associated Press appear to show black-colored water surrounding the waste site, flowing through a bayou and into the Houston Ship Channel. The Environmental Protection Agency says it has found no evidence that toxins washed off the site but is still assessing damage.
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and says they “are giving it an absolute go”‘ in Middle East peace talks. Trump on Monday said that “we’re working very hard” to reach a deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian says dissention and conflict are at their highest level since the Cold War, while cooperation among nations has become more difficult. He says that world leaders are gathering at the U.N. General Assembly for their annual meeting at “a critical moment” that is seeing “a worrying degradation of the international environment.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans are planning a final, uphill push to erase President Barack Obama’s health care law. But Democrats and their allies are mustering an all-out effort to block the GOP gambit. Leading the new charge for Republicans are South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham and Louisiana’s Bill Cassidy. They’ll need votes from 50 of the 52 GOP senators to succeed. After Sept. 30, special procedures expire and they’d need 60 votes. That would entail Democratic support, which they won’t get.
