- ➤ Rochester police charged 19-year-old (Remy Ritsema Nuon) with felony counts for soliciting a child online after he sent explicit messages to a 12-year-old girl who told him to stop, and investigators linked his actions to anonymous tips dating back to January 2024. KROC

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ The City of Rochester and The Trust for Public Land received a $26,500 Pollinator Pathways Grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources to convert four acres of turf grass at Joyce Park, McQuillan Park, Meadow Park and Meadow Park Estates Park into native pollinator habitats.

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Work started Monday on Peace Plaza paver improvements to widen walkways by converting raised-letter pavers from Ann Hamilton's 'Song for Water' into a smooth surface and address safety issues. The work, managed by CD Tile & Stone from Blaine at the lowest bid, will modify about 1,000 pavers over six weeks while the plaza stays open (community feedback guided the changes) (city officials consulted disabilities groups and the artist). KTTC
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ Mayo Clinic researchers discovered that CAR-T therapy cells age with prolonged activation signals and lose their ability to fight cancer over time.
