Josh Mullineaux has hung up his mining industry hat for the very last time and is now moving ahead with opening his new Emu Park burger bar, a move that will let him spend more time with his family.
He’s been working hard doing the prep work for the new Fortyseven 10 Burger Bar at Emu Park for months but when the opportunity to take over a bigger shopfront came up, he pounced on the chance.
Mr Mullineaux got the name for the business from the town’s postcode - 4710.
The old store was almost ready to go, but Mr Mullineaux knew he wanted to expand to a bigger location a couple of years down the track, so thought it best to take the leap now.

ELY – Travelers entering Ely on Highway 169 this fall could be able to stop into a brand new visitor center in the shadow of a freshly-painted water tower emblazoned with the city’s new logo.
Council members Tuesday authorized soliciting construction bids for the centerpiece of a multi-million-dollar redevelopment project for the city’s west end, and gave the go ahead for the water tower repainting project despite exorbitant cost estimates.
As much as $3 million, in two separate state bonding allocations, aisallocated for what has been dubbed the “west end trailhead project.” The first phase, at $1.3 million, was completed last year and included infrastructure and road construction at the city’s west entrance.

ELY – The local music scene is mourning the loss of Earl Bulinski this week. Word of his death, at age 72, swept over this community last weekend.
Earl and his wife, Sharon, spent their winters in their home away from home on South Padre Island, Texas, and returned to their Pattison Street home in Ely every summer.
In recent years, Bulinski played with Jef Cerniak and Andy Messerschmidt in the Tru Blu North Trio, and were regulars at various live music venues around the city as well as the Boundary Waters Blues Festival in Winton.
The Electras were formed when brothers Bill (lead guitar, vocals) and Earl Bulinski (rhythm guitar) came together as a duo in 1962, soon after moving to Ely and enrolling at Ely Memorial High School.
Construction of new trailhead building may begin later this year Posted

ELY – The Ely Economic Development Authority gathered Tuesday night to discuss and plan their goals for the upcoming year to promote the economic growth of the business community.
The city’s economic advisor, John Fedo, initiated the discussion with a look back at the progress and successes of the EEDA’s efforts in the last year in the midst of the unique challenges of COVID-19.
“Which of these (goals) are still valid, and to what degree?” Fedo asked in reviewing the 2020 list. “Trailhead development, our number one priority, obviously has moved to our number one accomplishment. The realization that this project will see physical construction this year is pretty inevitable.”
