Rochester police say a man concocted a ruse to fool local airport officials in an effort to get to a charter flight this week. He wanted an autograph from a passenger: golf legend Arnold Palmer, the Rochester Post-Bulletin reports. The man escaped charges. Police don't know if he got the autograph.

Crews are in the process of moving the landmark locomotive from the old Stillwater Depot to the Bayport area. The vintage dinner train stopped running in 2008 after operating for more than two decades. Zephyr owner David Paradeau sold the 5.9-mile railroad corridor to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for $4.25 million last year. The area will become the Brown's Creek State Trail and will connect to the Gateway State Trail west of Stillwater.

The Stillwater lift bridge is shutting down Monday for three months of repairs. Many in the city find it a relief to be freed from the traffic congestion of Wisconsin commuters.

Washington County Attorney Pete Orput told the Pioneer Press his office is still reviewing evidence in the case involving former Stillwater Lumberjack Days organizer Dave Eckberg. The newspaper writes it could take another month before a charging decision is made. Last month, Eckberg and his wife filed for personal bankruptcy. Court documents show the couple owes a list of more than 100 creditors nearly $2.4 million.
