Work resumed Wednesday at the site of the new St. Paul Saints baseball park downtown, where a demolition worker was killed last week while helping raze an old factory. A private memorial service was held Tuesday for Johnny Valek, 61, of Plymouth, who died when a concrete portion of the building crashed on his backhoe. Investigators said it could take up to six months to reveal the circumstances of Valek's death.
