FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Police in Fargo have identified the victim of a homicide.
Police say 32-year-old Jarryd George Heis was found dead Friday inside a suspect’s apartment.
Police say they arrested the 29-year-old suspect after they said he called authorities to tell them he had assaulted the man who died.
Authorities say the Fargo man told an emergency dispatcher about 6:30 a.m. Friday that he was involved in an assault that resulted in a man’s death. Officers arrested the suspect at a gas station where he made the call.
Chief David Todd would not talk about what caused the man’s death or a possible weapon, but said it was the result of a physical altercation.
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota student may not sing in competitions or even her school choir, but she’s known to publicly sing one song since she was 5 years old: “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Kennedy Harris sings the national anthem as a tribute to her country and her late grandfather, who died when she was 8 years old.
The Mandan High School junior tells the Bismarck Tribune her grandfather, a Vietnam War veteran, first asked Harris to sing for a crowd other than her family at one of his baseball games. Shortly after the game, then-5-year-old Harris performed at a Memorial Day program in Makoti, where she has sung for the community’s veterans and soldiers every year since.
She has sung the national anthem in public nearly 50 times.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Some Republican lawmakers have drafted legislation that would use part of North Dakota’s oil tax savings account to make low-interest loans to communities facing big and expensive infrastructure projects.
Backers of the legislation want to use up to 15 percent of the Legacy Fund’s principal every two years for projects such as flood protection and water systems.
Sen. David Hogue and Rep. Roscoe Streyle, both of Minot, are sponsoring the bill. They say the loans would help finish projects sooner and save in interest and inflation costs.
It would be the first time the Republican-led Legislature has seriously eyed the principal of the Legacy Fund that was approved by voters in 2010 and holds more than $5.2 billion.
RUTHVILLE, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Department of Transportation is examining an intersection that some consider dangerous between Minot and the Minot Air Force Base.
The Minot Daily News reports that the agency is seeking public input following a recent fatal accident that occurred at the U.S. Highway 83 intersection.
An Air Force Base man in his car collided with a semitrailer near Ruthville on Feb. 15, resulting in the man’s death two days later. The state Highway Patrol found that the semitrailer’s driver failed to yield at the intersection.
Many motorists think the intersection’s overhead lights aren’t adequate for warning drivers of possible dangers. Burlington resident Paul Engledinger suggests a speed reduction or a traffic light.
The agency may hold a public information meeting this month.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck church is planning a $2 million expansion after growing 45 percent in the past five years.
Legacy United Methodist Church is expanding its youth ministry facilities and starting operations in south Bismarck in order to accommodate its growing membership.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the church will break ground on seven youth ministry classrooms, two adult classrooms and an expanded youth ministry meeting room this spring. Officials hope to complete the expansion by January 2019.
The church has pledges for half of the amount needed for the expansion project.
Pastor Andy Early says they’re extending the church’s reach to the south end of town through new bible study groups. He says the south side bible study sessions will focus on topics such as marriage and parenting.

OBIT-BANNISTER
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — The world of athletics is paying tribute to British sports icon Roger Bannister, the first runner to break the 4-minute barrier in the mile.
Bannister died Saturday in Oxford, England, at the age of 88.
On May 6, 1954, Bannister ran four laps on a cinder track in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds to crack the mythical 4-minute mile — a feat many had thought humanly impossible. Later that year, Bannister beat Australian rival John Landy at the Empire Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, with both men running under 4 minutes.
Bannister then gave up running to pursue a long and distinguished medical career.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reasons to celebrate but also ample cause for trepidation as they meet Monday at the White House.
Trump’s long-awaited Mideast peace plan has yet to arrive, even as Palestinians and other critics insist it will be dead on arrival. And although Israel’s government is overjoyed by Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, misgivings are percolating over Iran. Israel sees Trump’s efforts to date to crack down on Israel’s arch-enemy as lacking.
Netanyahu arrived in the United States over the weekend as Washington was gearing up for the annual conference of AIPAC, the powerful pro-Israel lobby. He plans to hold a meeting and working lunch with Trump on Monday before speaking at the conference later in the week
