City will seek proposals for last remaining parcel of AAA land Clock is ticking on development incentive for site by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Five illegal immigrants were found living in the basement of a home on the 1400 block of Highview Avenue in Eagan. The owner, Joo Ok Kim, was sentenced on Sept. 7 for haboring and concealing illegal aliens.

Eagan man sentenced for harboring illegal aliens Men lived in basement, forced to work without pay by Jessica Harper THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Though slavery was banned in the United States more than a century ago, forced servitude still finds its way into our communities. And Eagan is no exception. Five men, illegally in the United States from Mexico, spent months living in a basement with no heat, no kitchen and meager amounts of food. They were given only mattresses on the basement floor and the blanket they brought with them for bedding. The men received no pay — except in the beginning — for work they did for the Eagan homeowner, Joo OK

Kim. Kim was sentenced Sept. 7 by U.S. District Court Judge Joan Ericksen to 24 months in prison for harboring and concealing illegal aliens. Police discovered the men on March 28, 2009, while responding to a disturbance call at the 63-year-old’s home. Four of the men were taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Kim was indicted that day for what Eagan Police Chief Jim McDonald calls the first known case of slavery in the city. He pleaded guilty on Aug. 8, 2010. In his plea agreement, Kim

admitted to keeping five Mexican nationals — who where in the country illegally — in his basement. The men crossed into the United States between 1999 and 2006, and one of them began working for Kim’s siding business in 2005. The others met him in 2008. What began as meager pay — barely enough to buy food — turned into no pay. Kim admitted in his plea to having the men work for his siding business. According to the reports by the Star Tribune, Kim is an immigrant himself from South Korea. Immigration officials say he could lose his See Kim, 6A

Burnsville CEO doing her part to get Americans back to work

Burnsville will pursue a familiar method in trying to sell a piece of city-owned land in the Heart of the City. The city will issue a request for proposals for the property – 1.75 acres at Pillsbury Avenue and Travelers Trail, north of the Performing Arts Center/Heart of the City parking ramp. It’s the last piece of land in what was known as the AAA property.

The city has twice issued RFPs for the 6.24acre AAA site – one of which called on potential buyers to include a performing-arts center component in their development plans. Eventually the city built the center itself, along with the ramp. Those buildings and the Mediterranean Cruise Cafe now occupy most of the AAA land. For three years the city has hung a “For Sale� sign on the re-

maining parcel. But most of the nibbles have come from developers interested in projects that wouldn’t have fit Heart of the City zoning standards, which include a minimum building height, or been warmly received by the City Council. Such projects have included gas stations, stand-alone fast-food restaurants and apartments, according to Skip Nienhaus, the See Land, 6A

Riverfront trail will link Eagan, Burnsville and other destinations by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville and Eagan are bordered by the Minnesota River but have little in the way of riverfront amenities. That will change with construction of regional trail segments through both cities. The Minnesota River Greenway plan is expected to be approved next month by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners. The $12 million, 17mile trail will follow

the river through Lilydale, Mendota Heights, Mendota, Eagan and Burnsville. It will create a continuous trail connection from Lilydale State Park in St. Paul to Scott County. Burnsville,. whose City Council and parks commission heard an update on the plan at a Sept. 13 work session, will have a unique segment of trail, Dakota County Senior Planner John Mertens said. The city’s river-bottom land includes 1,400 acres of

Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. “It will be a unique section of the Minnesota River Greenway in that it’ll be so close to the river,� Mertens said. The city has already received a $1 million federal grant for its trail section, which will run along Black Dog Road Interstate 35W east to Cedar Avenue. The county has agreed to kick in $200,000 for the segment. The city, which will See Trail, 7A

Miller’s work on president’s council includes training program for manufacturing machinists by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

After attending President Obama’s jobs speech on Sept. 9 and sitting with some of the biggest honchos in American business, Darlene Miller has some thoughts on the politics and spectacle of it all. But this small-business CEO with a growing reputation is also focused on job-creation efforts that didn’t get splashy headlines. Specifically, Miller is working on developing Right Skills Now, a training program for machinists that she says will become a national model. The program is an outgrowth of Miller’s position as co-chair of the hightech education subcommittee of the President’s Council on Jobs and Com-

petitiveness. As owner and CEO of Permac Industries in Burnsville, a precisionmachined parts manufacturer with 36 employees, Miller brings the voice of small business to the president’s jobs council. And that’s how she wound up in Washington, D.C., for Obama’s Sept. 9 speech to Congress on getting America working again. Miller was seated behind first lady Michelle Obama, alongside business titans Jeffrey Immelt of GE, Kenneth Chenault of America Express, and AOL founder Steve Case. Her February appointment to the council followed a growing list of honors for Miller. She has won national small-business awards from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce See Miller, 7A

Home break-ins in Savage and Burnsville prompt police alerts by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Savage and Burnsville police are still seeking clues in three similar home break-ins, but the two in Savage and one in Burnsville don’t appear to be related. Each was unnerving, involving nighttime intrusion or attempted intrusion through window screens. Police in both cities have advised residents to keep windows and doors locked. In Savage, the targets were chil-

the Burnsville intruder and the Savage intruder are the same person, said Savage police Capt. Dave Muelken. The Burnsville incident involved a woman, and was “at least three miles from the location where our two were,� Muelken said. After the incident on Sept. 6, a half dozen Savage police officers went door to door that day, alerting area residents to the break-ins and handing out fliers, Muelken

said. The schools have also been alerted. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and charges. On Aug. 28, a resident reported that a chair had been found under the window of a children’s bedroom and the screen had been removed. Police said there was no evidence anyone had entered the bedroom. On Sept. 6, a girl awoke and saw the silhouette of someone in

Boulevard tree planting part of response to ash borer Planting by citizens to be encouraged by John Gessner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Burnsville is preparing for what city officials say is the inevitable arrival of the emerald ash borer. Instead of discouraging residents from planting boulevard trees, the city’s past approach, it will encourage planting to replace trees lost to disease. The city also plans to enact a licensing program for tree contractors. Officials expect an influx of contractors is expected once the ash tree-killing beetle arrives. And that’s only a matter of time, Terry Schultz, director of parks, recreation and natural resources., told the City Council at a Sept. 13 work session. The metallic green beetles were recently discovered in Shoreview, the fourth Twin Cities community to report infestations. The

A Burnsville man was charged with aggravated forgery Aug. 30 for allegedly possessing and using another man’s Social Security number. When questioned, the suspect, Javier Solis-Sanchez, formerly of Savage, told police he bought the number for $80 and has had it since coming to the United States about 15 years ago. Meanwhile, the number’s actual owner told police he’s constantly contacted by creditors and collection agencies about debt he didn’t incur. The victim, speaking with a Savage police officer

by phone last March, “reported that he is concerned about his ability to take out student loans as a result of all the debt that has been incurred using his Social Security number,� said the Dakota County criminal complaint. The victim called Savage police last March and said Solis-Sanchez had been using his Social Security number since 2002. TCF Bank records show that Solis-Sanchez used the number to open four accounts at the bank’s Apple Valley branch, the complaint said. Solis-Sanchez admitted to using the number to open

pick from a city-approved list of tree species designed to ensure diversity of species. Plans call for prioritized removal of diseased trees on boulevards and in other public areas by city-hired contractors. Removal of ash trees on property that isn’t part of a right-of-way would be left solely to property owners, under plans the city has been developing since last year. The contractor-licensing program calls for a $40 license fee. Contractors couldn’t cut, trim, prune, remove or spray a tree in Burnsville without a license. The licensing ordinance, which awaits approval, would require each licensed contractor to have at least one employee certified by the International Society of Arboriculture.

others are Minneapolis, St. Paul and Falcon Heights. Burnsville is a giant target, with an estimated 12,000 ash trees on boulevards and in parks and other public areas. In the North River Hills neighborhood alone, it’s estimated that more than 70 percent of boulevard trees are ash. The council is expected to approve the tree-planting program and licensing requirements before next year. To plant trees on a boulevard – a city right-of-way extending 15 feet from the curb line – property owners would be required to get a free city permit. They’d sign a statement agreeing to maintain the trees, or be assessed by the city for those costs. Maintenance instructions would come with the license. Property owners wouldn’t have to maintain existing boulevard trees but would have to maintain replacement trees. Property owners would

He admitted to using it at places of employment, including his current employer of seven to eight years, the complaint said. A search of his Burnsville residence turned up a Social Security card with the victim’s number and the suspect’s name. It also turned up several resident alien cards, Minnesota driver’s licenses, Mexican identification, and Social Security cards “with numerous Hispanic names� on them, the complaint said. — John Gessner

Opinion Thisweek Columnist We invite you to become a citizen journalist Larry Werner THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

When I was studying to become a journalist many years ago, Professor W. Cameron Meyers loved to engage students in philosophical discussions. One day at Michigan State University, he got the class going on how detached a reporter should be from the community he or she covers. An idealistic chap at the time, I argued that it was so important for reporters to keep their distance from the subjects of their stories that even a country club membership could present a conflict of interest. As it turned out, I’ve never joined a country club, but that has more to do with economics than journalistic ethics. However, I have spent a good part of my time in the business resisting the temptation to get involved as a citizen for fear of compromising my objectivity as a journalist.

I offer a few thoughts on journalistic detachment today because people in my business are spending a lot of time trying to figure out where the line is between the journalist and the citizen. And the line between you and us is getting blurred by the rapid changes in technology. For example, if you’ve been on our website, thisweeklive. com, recently, you could have seen stories and pictures about a bald eagle landing in Apple Valley, the Lakeville North cross country team competing in the Faribault Invite and a seminar on the rights of unmarried parents at the library in Burnsville. None of those stories, or dozens of others, was written by our editors. They were written by our readers. Several months back, we put two buttons near the top of our home page. One is labeled “sub-

mit reader news,� and the other, “read reader news.� We didn’t promote this feature in any way. We just added to our website the capability for you to submit stories and photos. And dozens of you started doing it. We’re delighted. Scroll down below those reader-news buttons to a box labeled “recent comments.� There you will see comments readers have submitted on stories we’ve written and on letters to the editor. Some lively debates on issues of the day are taking place on our website. As we continue to publish a weekly paper for those who like their news on the printed page, we are increasingly turning parts of our website over to what some in our business call “the crowd.� That’s a term for all of us who have access to the web for posting our observations and opinions. Recently, the MediaNews

Group, a large chain that owns the St. Paul Pioneer Press, named John Paton as the CEO of that company and a related company called the Journal Register Co. These companies, in effect, merged under the name Digital First Media. Paton has been telling those working for him and anyone else who will listen that the news media have to be “digital first,� meaning we have to post news to our websites when we get it rather than waiting until it’s time to put out the paper, and we have to open our sites to the crowd. In a speech recently, Paton said it’s essential to open our sites to readers because, “The crowd collectively knows more about any subject, city or event we choose to cover than we do.� Wow! That’s a pretty unsettling comment for those of us who grew up in a business that believed the world was divided into

two groups – those who reported the news and those who read the news. The Internet has made it possible for readers to become writers, photographers and even videographers. The popular term for those of you who contribute to our websites is “citizen journalist.� We welcome you to our world. Many of us have enjoyed reporting the news for the rest of you to read. Now it’s time for the rest of you to get the kick of posting news that your friends and neighbors can enjoy. Go to thisweeklive.com and click on “submit reader news.� But don’t tell Professor Meyers, who must be spinning in his grave. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of the Dakota County Tribune and Thisweek Newspapers. He can be reached at larry. werner@ecm-inc.com. Columns reflect the opinion of the author.

Letters Correction In the story, “A decade later, memories of 9-11 remain fresh for local officials,� Eagan Fire Chief Mike Scott was incorrectly identified as a then-correctional deputy at the Dakota County Jail. Scott was the commander of the jail, the highest rank in the department. Thisweek regrets the error.

get their way, spending cuts and laissez-faire, then they will stop investing in innovation and stop hiring American workers.

Tax cuts won’t create jobs

Scores are cause for concern

To the editor: U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Lakeville, recently published an op-ed article in the Dakota County Tribune on business and its problems in our struggling economy. He said that he had a “Plan for America’s Job Creators� which included “free markets, free enterprise,� and spending cuts. I don’t know how Kline can write about spending cuts and job creation in the same article and still hold a straight face. Between World War II and 2001 tax receipts, the amount of monies the federal government received from taxes, wavered between 18 and 20 percent of GDP. Between 2001 and today, however, tax receipts as a percentage of GDP have continued to fall to 14.9 in 2010 and an historic 14.4 percent in 2011 – so much for government expansion, (more like spending contraction and systematic abrogation). Today the “job creators� are pocketing the largest percentage of GDP since 1950 and yet they still aren’t hiring. If we follow Kline’s logic, then we are led to believe that if the job creators don’t

To the editor: I read with interest the article in Thisweek about science scores in District 196 exceeding the state average. I was excited. And then I read the details. Fifty-six percent of fifthgraders and 64 percent of high school students meeting or exceeding state standards in science. Hmmm – not exactly exemplary scores to celebrate. Congratulations to Glacier Hills elementary for bringing their scores up from 52 to 73 percent of fifth-grade students. If they can do it, why not the rest of the district? Could we proliferate Glacier’s “recipe for success� throughout the district? We want to keep good paying, high tech jobs in our state and have Minnesota graduates capable of filling those jobs. Let’s set a threeyear goal of having 75 percent of fifth-grade students in our district meeting or exceeding state standards. If not now, when? We want to see all of our students reach their fullest potential. ADINA LEBOWITZ Eagan

Letters to the editor policy

To the editor: The letters from Betty Fedde and Paul Hoffinger (Sept. 2) clearly articulated the talking points of class envy. It’s a card not worth playing, easily trumped by reality. First let me call myself a “friend of the millionaires.� Thank you, millionaires, for the good job I enjoy because of you. I have worked alongside you in your homes and businesses. Some of you are difficult and live up to the stereotype of the rich. Anyway, thanks for risking your capital which has given us housing, jobs, transportation, and for paying the majority of taxes. The second reality is history. Depending on the rich to finance a bloated government is risky. Maryland tried to close a shortfall by increasing taxes on the rich. Instead of bringing in an extra $106 million, the millionaires paid $100 million less in taxes than they did the previous year. Of course the recession probably accounted for most of that loss. However, since taxes influence behavior some of those millionaires likely changed their residency. Maryland collected 6.25 percent of nothing. Money that is permanently gone. The same thing could happen in Minnesota. It would

then be up to us working families to make up the difference. So much for soaking the rich. State Reps. Doug Wardlow and Diane Anderson and Sen. Ted Daley are to be thanked for having the courage of their convictions and standing firm to not raise taxes. They are the right people for the times. They understand we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

Eastview takes a turn in the spotlight Lightning boys soccer off to one of the best starts of any team in Minnesota by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The city of Apple Valley is known for producing some of the best boys soccer teams in the state. Eastview High School team has been in the shadow of Apple Valley High School for a while now, but the Lightning are starting to emerge with some thunderous goals and cloudy defense. The Lightning have already eclipsed last year’s record with a 7-0 start. It’s also nearly the best start of any team in Minnesota. All the other teams ranked in the top 10 either have a loss or a tie. “I think this is our best start in school history now,” coach Scott Gustafson said. “We have 16 games to play and three in the section tournament. Our goal is to get to that 20th game, to play in the state tournament for the first time in school history. “Our goal is to get better every day and we haven’t always done that, but the guys have been receptive. It’s a learning process, and that’s high school soccer.” The team earned a spot in the conversation among the top teams after defeating Bloomington Jefferson 2-1 on Tuesday. It was perhaps one of the biggest regular season games for Eastview in years. Ranked No. 4 in the state, Jefferson came in as the slight favorite over No. 5 Eastview. But Jefferson doesn’t have Mathew Gweh. “I think we had the differ-

Eastview’s Mathew Gweh, No. 3, finds a way through Bloomington Jefferson defenders on Tuesday. He scored the team’s goals in the 2-1 victory.

Gustafson knows the secret is out. “It’s been a lot of Mathew with a little bit of the rest of the team thrown in, so we need to get the rest of the team involved a little more,” Gustafson said. “As teams scout us they’ll figure out ways to stop us for longer periods of times. He’s not going to be getting those four-goal games anymore. He’ll get one or two, but we’ll need to get more players involved.” Gweh doesn’t plan on letting up any time soon. “Soccer is what I want to do,” he said. “This is all I have. This is my ticket to college. I’ve played all my life. I just love soccer.” The idea is if he has the ball, good things will happen. “I just want to help my team,” Gweh said. “This was a really good win. There was no let down.” There’s more than one way to win a soccer game. Goal keeping has also been Eastview’s strong suit with Ruelas and Treston Kederer who share time in the net. “We have amazing goal keepers – they keep us in every game,” Gustafson said. “They win games for us. If you can score goals and keep them out of the net, you’re going to do things.” The schedule isn’t going to get any easier. The team is making a trip to Hudson, Wis., for a 7 p.m. game Saturday. Burnsville will come to town Tuesday before the team heads out to play another top-10 team, Lakeville North, on Thursday. The big one is at 5 p.m. Sept. 27 when crosstown rival and two-time defending state champion Apple Valley pays a visit.

ence maker tonight,” Gustafson said. “He, for the lack of better term, was head and shoulders above everybody else.” The Eastview junior averages almost two goals per game and he didn’t disappoint against Jefferson. His first goal came off a penalty kick about 30 yards away with less than 23 minutes left in the game, breaking a 0-0 tie. Seven minutes later he scored again after working his way through four Jefferson defenders for an unassisted score. It turned out Eastview needed the insurance goal as the Lightning got a little yellow-card happy. Jefferson scored off a penalty kick, but missed a second one leading to a 2-1 win for the Lightning. Gweh has been a big reason behind Eastview’s record-setting start playing varsity for the first time this season. He had to sit out last year due to transfer rules, but he’s been a figure in club soccer as a member of the 2011 U16 national champion Minnesota ThunRogers is at der Academy with teammate Andy andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com. keeper Sam Ruelas.

Another hot start for Eagan girls soccer With a top-10 ranking, the Wildcats eye another trip to state by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Eagan girls soccer team has a strong aversion to losing. Since 2009, the girls have lost six games while winning more than 40 with two appearances in the state tournament. This season the girls are off to their best start yet with a 7-1 record in their first eight games. The only loss was 1-0 against Lakeville South, another state tournament regular, on Sept. 8. While it was disappointing, it gave coach Mark Obarski and the players aspects of their game to work on. “It’s not that we played poorly, but we didn’t play hard and we let other teams take it to us a little bit,” Obarski said. The girls responded with a 7-0 victory against Buffalo, a team they tied last year, and 9-0 against Bloomington Jefferson on Tuesday. That’s 16 goals during a 26-hour stretch. “It was good to come back and play with some intensity,” goal keeper Kristen Knutson said. “We had a little letdown against Lakeville South, so it was good to get back out there and score some goals.” The Wildcats have already defeated top-10 teams Woodbury and Duluth East. The Wildcats are 14 seniors strong and most of the girls have played on the same summer team since they were 10, so they’d like to go out with a roar. “We’ve had a run of a lot of success and we would really like to finish out our high school year with something special,” Knutson said. “We have a lot to live up to, but I think this team is ready for that.” To key to sustaining it is scoring goals. “Goal scoring is probably our Achilles’ heel right now in terms of finding the back of the net consistently,” Obarski said. “We’re young up there and a little bit inexperienced. It takes time to figure it out playing against seniors.” In the past two years the Wildcats have seen several scoring leaders graduate like Molly Sparks, Bre Steele, Lauren Bauer and Courtney Vallarelli. Scoring was the biggest question mark coming in to this season. The team is leaning on several young players to score, including Marissa Ganske, Kaleigh Solheim, Roselyn Anderson and Rachel Wall. “In the history of the program a lot of those girls are up in the top-10 category,” Obarski said. “Year to year you wonder where that’s going to come from next, but we have a good feeder program.” The strength lies in their defense. The team has a 0.3 goals-against average. “We are very smart in the back, very organized,” Knutson said. “I haven’t given up many goals because the girls haven’t let me see much.” Defenders Jessica Hart, Sarah Lochner and Angela LaCroix have helped Knutson keep the goal virtually clean.

She was able to describe only the silhouette Land/from 1A city’s economic development coordinator. And now the clock is ticking on a development incentive for the property. Under terms of the Heart of the City tax-increment financing district, the city has until next October to enter into a binding contract with a developer that would include TIF subsidies. About five or six years of subsidies would remain before the district is decertified, according to Community Development Director Jenni Faulkner. The council agreed at a

According to the Institute for Trafficked, Exploited and Missing Persons, 12.3 million people are victims of forced labor worldwide. “Whether it’s sex or labor, it’s very difficult to pursue because the victims are very afraid of going to law enforcement,� Neudauer said. The most effective way

to combat human trafficking is through awareness, he said. “Reporting suspicious behavior is always a good idea,� he said. “...I have to give credit to the Eagan Police who went the extra mile.� The men living in Kim’s basement were rarely seen by neighbors, Neudauer said.

of someone standing in the doorway. Police determined that the intruder had cut the screen of an open window to gain entry. The subsequent Savage incidents prompted Burnsville police to issue a press release on Sept. 8. “Incidents of this nature — breaking into houses that are occupied — are rare,� the release said. It advised residents to close and lock windows and doors when they’re sleeping or not at home.

Savage police issued a stronger warning on Sept. 6, urging parents to lock windows and doors at all times, walk their children to and from school and not leave their children unsupervised. The $1,000 reward is offered through Crime Stoppers. Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-222-TIPS or the Savage police tip line at (952) 882-2629.

In a struggling commercial real estate market, the city should “pull out all the stops� to make a sale, “or that’s going to be a bare lot for a long time coming,�

Council Member Dan Kealey said. Council Member Dan Gustafson took a more optimistic view. “That’s a valuable piece of land down there,� he said. “I don’t think we should give it away. We’re not in panic mode here.� Selling the land at a discount is another option for enticing developers. Council members indicated they’re willing to consider such offers. An up-front subsidy in the form of a cut-rate land price would include a requirement for job creation and a development time frame, which would be spelled out in a contract between the city and the buyer, according to Faulkner. The parcel is valued by Dakota County at $457,600. It was part of the AAA Minnesota/Iowa property the city bought in 2001 for $1.8 million as plans for the Heart of the City redevelopment district were taking shape. Based on the original purchase price, the land value was $504,807 in 2001, according to the city. The last RFP for the AAA property was in 2007, after proposals for a privately built arts center had fallen through and the city had embarked on the project itself. The council chose Anderson Development, one of three developers that vied for the remaining 4.8 acres. But Anderson didn’t deliver on plans that included a hotel and event center and two office buildings.

Shakopee man dies after his motorcycle crashes on Highway 13

Recent lane reductions on I-35E prepare motorists for full closures

A 46-year-old Shakopee man died when his motorcycle crashed at about 2:30 p.m. Sept. 9 on Highway 13 near Diffley Road in Burnsville. Robert L. Edberg was traveling southbound when he rear-ended a 2010 Honda Pilot, was thrown from the motorcycle, landed in the roadway and was struck by a 2004 Peterbuilt truck, according to the State Patrol. The drivers of the other two vehicles – Marcie J.

Wood, 48, of Savage (the Honda Pilot) and Benjamin J. Leuthner, 36, of Mayer – had no apparent injuries, according to the State Patrol. Road conditions at the time of the crash were described as dry on the twolane divided highway. Members of the Burnsville and Eagan police departments assisted at the scene. In the past few weeks, two motorcyclists have been killed and another severely injured in the Dakota County area.

Groundbreaking at River Hills Church set River Hills United Methodist Church is breaking ground on a $1 million renovation. The public is invited to the groundbreaking ceremony at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 18. The ceremony will be on the west side of the church, near the parking lot entrance. The project will provide for a new west stair entrance to the building, removal of the current stairway in the narthex, installation of sprinklers

It’s an accelerated, 12- to 16-week training program for operators of computer numerically controlled machines, which power Miller’s small manufacturing business. Finding workers with skills to operate the machines remains a problem for manufacturers like her, despite the nation’s 9.1 percent unemployment rate, Miller said. Before the Great Recession, businesses were better able to spend money to train workers from the ground up or send them to school.

The lane reduction on Monday, Sept. 12, caused some traffic headaches for commuters when the northbound portion between Shepard Road and Highway 5/West Seventh Street was only one lane from 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 12, to 5 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13. The Minnesota Department of Transportation advised motorists to plan additional travel time and use alternate routes when possible during the closures. The project is scheduled for completion by Nov. 15. To sign up for the project’s email updates, visit the project’s web site at www. dot.state.mn.us/metro/ projects/i35eeagan/index. html.

Getting around on Interstate 35E in Eagan and St. Paul was difficult this past weekend and during rush hour Monday, Sept. 12. But the lane-reduction projects were just a tune-up for what is to come – two full closures of I-35E in one direction the next two weekends. Northbound I-35E is scheduled to close between I-494 and Highway 13 from 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, through 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 9. Southbound I-35E is scheduled to close between Highway 13 and Highway I-494 from 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, through 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 26. The closures are needed as crews repair and resurface the roadway and make Tad Johnson is at editor. other improvements.

tween trailheads, cultural and natural resource interpretation points, gradeseparated crossings at major roads, and lighting in areas where evening use is expected. It’s part of the larger Minnesota Valley State Trail from LeSueur to St. Paul planned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Funding for the Minnesota Valley Greenway is coming from Dakota County, cities, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the DNR.

“But now all our budgets are very tight,� she said. “We’re still kind of dealing with the unknown.� Unemployed workers could do far worse than manufacturing, which Miller called a “rewarding career.� “Manufacturing pays 25 percent higher benefits than any other industry,� said Miller, who co-chairs the high-tech education committee with Intel CEO Paul Otellini. “And we are here to stay. But it’s important that we have skilled people, or we will have trouble being here to stay.� At her own company Miller cut the number of jobs from 47 to 21 during the recession, but she’s back up to 36. Permac Industries is back to within about 15 percent of where revenue topped out before the downturn, Miller said. “We would hire if we could find the right people,� she said. Miller isn’t so sure about the headline-grabbing parts of Obama’s American Jobs Act – the tax cuts and tax incentives. One would give employers a $4,000 tax credit for hiring a long-term

unemployed worker. “At least you’re able to take that incentive and apply it toward keeping your business growing,� Miller said. “Any incentive you get is helpful to a small business. But it’s not going to make me hire because I get $4,000.� Likewise, a proposal to extend 100 percent expensing of new equipment into 2012 would be nice, Miller said. But if demand for more product isn’t there, businesses won’t buy new equipment just for the tax break, she said. There are also proposals to cut payroll taxes for employers and their employees. “If you ask my employees, every little bit helps everybody,� said Miller, who sees tough sledding in Congress for the jobs package. “I wish Congress, the speaker (of the House) and the president would just all work together to put America back to work and just put aside all those political tensions that are going on right now,� she said. “It’s critical for America.�

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.

The Barony of Nordskogen, the local SCA chapter

staging the event, will be leading the activities, which include fiber arts, calligraphy, cooking and more throughout the afternoon. A siege engine (a type of crude catapult) and glass bead making and wool-dyeing demos have been added this year, and past festival favorites such as period games, music and dance, and a weaponry demo are back.
