February 8 The Army said Tuesday that it will allow the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota, clearing the way for completion of the disputed four-state project.

February 10 A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Donald Trump’s ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, unanimously rejecting the administration’s claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges. The three judges of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the argument that the ban targets Muslims raised “serious allegations” and presented “significant constitutional questions,” and they agreed that courts could consider statements by Trump and his advisers about wishing to enact such a ban. February 11 A cross-country chase that started Thursday in Yankton and ended in north-central Nebraska has resulted in the arrest of two men facing multiple charges. Lt.

The driver, 35-year-old James Lee Colman of Yankton, was wanted by authorities as a parole absconder, meaning he had not reported as required under his parole conditions. The passenger was 26-year-old Jarvis Bason of Sioux Falls. February 18 The suspect in last year’s robbery of the downtown Yankton Wells Fargo Bank has been officially arrested and indicted.

March 4 Yankton’s archery center may be seeing another expansion in the near future to help facilitate the growth of archery worldwide and to accommodate a growing interest in air rifle sports. During the Business Improvement District #1 board meeting, officials took the first step in providing the project with some of its funding. The proposed 20,503-square-foot addition to the National Field Archery Association (NFAA) Easton Yankton Archery Center would entail added archery space to keep up with standards for hosting larger archery tournaments, air-rifle facilities to attract tournaments in that growing sport, hunter safety courses, multi-sport training and competition space and added space for conventions that would complement the existing 49,000-square-foot facility. NFAA President Bruce Cull told the board that air rifles are quickly becoming popular, but facilities for their recreational use are severely lacking.
