New Steelbound location opening in Springville this summer By Deb Everts
Submitted photo Steelbound Brewery & Restaurant of Springville is opening this summer. The second Steelbound location will be a bit smaller, but it will offer things the Ellicottville location does not, including a Sunday Brunch and deep dish pizza. Shown is the new brewing system at Springville.
The Steelbound name known so well in Ellicottville will soon be a household word in Springville when Bill Bursee expands his brewery and restaurant business with a second location this summer. Located in the old Robinson Knife Factory that stood on the site at 243 West Main St. about a century ago, Steelbound Brewery & Restaurant of Springville will occupy the former Papa Jake’s Saloon that was housed within the factory. Bursee said people have been blowing up their email, and they have already received “probably a thousand emails” asking about the new brewery and restaurant. “It’s overwhelming, but great, because it shows the huge, looming interest about
what we are doing,” he said. According to Bursee, the new brewery is smaller than Ellicottville’s building at 7,200-square feet. He said the Ellicottville location, with its brewery and distillery combined, is about 11,000-square feet. There will be seating for just under 300 people — probably about 280 — whereas the Ellicottville facility seats 309. He plans to employ 25 to 30 people. “The new place will have a three-barrel brewing system, and we’re going to do small-batch beers,” he said. “We still have over 30 beers at our Ellicottville location that we’ve produced already. That’s hard to do in a larger system like we have here because, when we get smaller, we can get a lot more experimental and do more things. We’re going to do some bourbon-

Stuck in the Mud at Holiday Valley
By Louisa Benatovich
For Father’s Day weekend, over 1,000 mudders of all ages participated in the annual Holiday Valley Mudslide Obstacle Run, held June 15. A tradition for nearly 10 years, this season’s event drew individuals from all across Western New York and the surrounding states. Featuring a collection of brand-new participants and veteran competitors, this year’s muddy obstacle course was truly one for the books. “This all started many years ago when a company called Muddy Buddy organized a mountain bike and mud run at the valley,” said Katie DiDonato, general manager of the Inn. “We thought, ‘We can totally do this ourselves!’” Now, DiDonato said they have a large committee of department heads who help organize the event every year. She said the planning period begins in early March. “We have it down to a science,” she said. “We always do our best to come up with new obstacles to keep our runners coming back year after year.” This year, the course had two new additions. “Because of all the snow left over, we were able to make a huge snow pile for people to climb,” DiDonato explained. “We also built a
tire wall and brought back annual hits like the Lily Pads at Spruce Lake.” With 3.5- and 5.4-mile options, the first competitive races began at a bright and early 10 a.m. The very first finisher broke through the final wall of foam after about 45 minutes of pure physical rigor. As his fellow competitors trickled in after him, the DJ chastised the breathless finishers, telling them that “they weren’t muddy enough.” “The hardest part about organizing the Mudslide is getting people to give up a Saturday,” said Justin Swan, the event’s volunteer coordinator. “We have about 120 volunteers donating their time to help us here today. Without them, this event would not be possible, all the way from registering people at the door to keeping track of finish times in the competitive heats.” However, Swan said the best part of the event is seeing people have fun at Holiday Valley, whether it’s winter or summer. “The Mudslide is great for families and solo athletes alike,” he added. “This event is truly some of the best that Ellicottville has to offer.” Chris Coupal, a 16-yearold competitor, was the third-place finisher in the Mudslide’s first competitive heat. A track runner at Kenmore West, Coupal was using the ‘Slide as
preparation for next year’s cross-country season. “It was more wet than muddy,” he said of the course as he chowed down on a post-run pulled pork sandwich. “My favorite part of the race was the downhill. The uphill was rough.” Sofia and Zoltan Revy, prospective Mini Mudsliders, had trekked all the way from Ohio to take part in the event. “We’ve never done this before,” said the siblings, “but we’re excited to get muddy.” When asked if they planned to win, the two were skeptical. “We don’t think it’s a competitive race,” they said, cautiously. “It’s just for fun.” As the day progressed and clouds threatened to drive away the sun, the smiles on people’s faces only grew wider. With Jane Eshbaugh’s creatively-designed trophies as an incentive, many pushed themselves to the max in the hopes of receiving one to display on their mantel. And though there were many a complaint of ruined shoes, the 2019 Holiday Valley Mudslide was the perfect kickoff to what promises to be an amazing summer. Be on the lookout for information on next year’s Mudslide, set to take place on June 20, 2020.

Summer art class opportunity for Ellicottville, WV students Hole in One at Elkdale
For three consecutive years, the Elisa B. Hughey Memorial Scholarship for the Arts has awarded scholarships to graduating Ellicottville Central School and West Valley Central School seniors intending to study fine arts in college. Last fall, the Scholarship Committee decided to partner with the TriCounty Arts Council to offer 80-percent tuition funding for art education classes through the Arts Council. This summer, the program is open to ECS and WVCS students of all ages and will continue through the 2019-20 school year. Our intent with the partnership is to give kids art education opportunities beyond the classroom and support the arts locally. How the program works: Interested students will refer to the Arts Council’s website for class or workshop opportunities: https://www.
myartscouncil.net. Students aged 14 and older are eligible for the adult classes. The Tri-County Arts Council offers classes in different media such as felt, pottery and ceramics. Students wishing to attend a class or workshop should contact Brenda Hughey at elisahugheyscholarship@ gmail.com, indicating their full name, school, the class they’d like to attend and the dates. Once the student has received an approval email from Brenda Hughey, they will contact the Arts Council by phone to register at 372-7455. When the student calls to register, they can pay the 20 percent tuition either by credit card or mail a check. Students must provide their own transportation to the Arts Council’s Elkdale C.C. photo studio location in Olean. Steve Hirst carded a hole-in-one on Elkdale Country Club’s hole No. 12 on Friday.

BAGS & BREWS:
The Kick-Off to Summerfest By Caitlin Croft The Summer Music Festival is definitely the highlight event of the summer in Ellicottville, New York. This year, former Eagles guitarist Don Felder, Caitlin Koch and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will grace the stage over the two-night event. In a new twist, the KickOff Party is being held on Monroe Street in the form of Bags & Brews. This is a cornhole tournament meets charity fundraiser created by the Rental Management & Real Estate team over at ERA Team VP. Here are the hard facts. WHEN: Friday, July 5 from 3-8 p.m. WHERE: Monroe Street in front of the Ellicottville Winery and Villaggio. WHO: You and your best friend crushing the competition in the first ever Bags & Brews cornhole tournament. WHY: To benefit Roswell Park Cancer Institute. “In a staff meeting, we were brainstorming a charity and felt Roswell Park would be the best seeing as we have had
employees past and present who have been so deeply affected by this disease. It really made perfect sense,” said Rachael Wiley-Steffan of ERA. “We also are opening up a battle of the businesses. We want local establishments to enter teams to battle for bragging rights.”
There will, of course, be live music — how can it be the Summerfest kick off without live music? The band will be rockin’ the whole time under the brand new winery patio. There will be tastings from all four of Ellicottville’s libation producers, Ellicottville Brewing Company, The Winery of Ellicottville, Ellicottville Distillery and Steelbound Brewery & Distillery. “In addition to the event it is also the kick off to Stroll the Streets, a
newer well-received event that runs Friday evenings in the summer,” Kaysie Griffith said. “There will be so many great activities for all ages that will compliment the Kick-Off Party.” Even if cornhole isn’t your thing, there will be plenty of good company, raffle tickets, 50/50 raffle and more to garner your attention. The Grand Prize is a “stay for two” in one of ERA’s Vacation Rentals for two, two tours of EBC, gift cards to local eateries and more! Also, I have a good feeling the tournament will be a supreme spectator sport. If cornhole champion is something you see in your future, be sure to contact Kaysie Griffith at 699-4800 or kaysie.griffith@teamvp. com by June 28. Entry is $30 per team, and remember: it is all for charity. We all know someone who has either succumbed to this awful disease or battled victoriously, so this is a charity that hits home for everyone. Get your tastebuds ready and that cornhole arm on point cause Bags & Brews will be an event you don’t want to miss!

barrel aging to the beer there, as well.” Bursee said the building at the second location didn’t require extensive renovation, but it’s going to require all new equipment and all new seating. He said when patrons come in, the space is going to feel like a brewery with chalkboards and corrugated metal. He said the major brick structure is going to stay, but they are bringing in their flair. “The structure is beautiful. You can’t change the structure and that’s the greatest thing about it. It’s an old knife factory with amazing brick walls and the architecture is something that you cannot recreate,” he said. “What we are doing is kind of bringing some of what we have in Ellicottville — our kind of flair to Springville. So, we have a really easy-going place that’s really nice and the atmosphere is great. We’re just trying to make it feel more comfortable and more like a brewery should feel.” The flagship location in Ellicottville offers a variety of beers, from stouts to ales, with their most popular brew being the Last Minute IPA. Bursee said they will bring their distilled spirits from Ellicottville, but they will not produce them on the new site. Like the Ellicottville facility, the new Steelbound location will also feature a dinner menu. Bursee said they try to use as much product from their brewery and distillery as possible through their kitchen because it adds to the dishes they put out. “Right now, in Ellicottville, we use some of our whiskey corn mash and we do a whiskey batter fish fry, which is super light and crispy,” he said. “We’ll do it at our Springville location as well.” Bursee opened the flagship spot for his Steelbound bar/restaurant and brewery/ distillery in Ellicottville last year on Route 219, across from Tim Hortons. When the opportunity arose, he couldn’t resist opening a second brewpub in
Springville, the town that means so much to him. Originally from Buffalo, Bursee is a retired building contractor who now lives in Springville. It’s home for Bursee, his wife, Racquel, and their two children, Tyler and Olivia, who both attended Springville-Griffith Institute in grades K-12. He’s deeply ingrained in the community where he has coached youth football, raised his children and served on the Springville Education Foundation Board. Bursee said he decided to open his second location in the town where he resides because the building is a great place that was once the anchor of Springville, and many events were held in that building. “It was where everybody went and I spent a lot of time there. I coached football and we always went back to Papa Jake’s. I sat on the board of education and we had a wine tasting event in that building every year,” he said. “It’s a central part of the community and I just couldn’t see losing it. It was definitely something that needed to happen.” According to Bursee, the Springville location is going to offer a lot of things the Ellicottville location does not. He said one of the big things they’re trying to put together right now is to have a Sunday Brunch every week. They are also looking at doing a nice, deep dish pizza that is not offered in the area and won’t compete with other pizzerias in the area that are doing well. “We certainly don’t want to come into this community and be competing with people who are already doing well there. We are going to be really conscientious of that,” he said. Some renovation continues, but Bursee has already signed the lease for the space. A specific opening date has not yet been determined, because Bursee still awaits a state liquor license.

ECS NEWS & SPORTS Ellicottville students among JCC honors College Connections honorees
Jamestown Community College recently honored 56 area high school students from throughout southwestern New York as the 2018-19 students of the year in the College Connections program. Two students from Ellicottville Central School were among the recognized. In selecting the students of the year, schools were asked to consider College Connections participants who had embraced the challenges of completing college level work while in high school and demonstrated resourcefulness, integrity,
Closing doors, opening windows at ECS By Louisa Benatovich Student Reporter
Adiós, adieu, arrivederci, ciao, auf Wiedersehen, au revoir — just words, a veritable mish-mash of syllables and consonants. Every language carries its unique interpretation. Despite the differences from their English counterparts, however, each of these words has its own weighty universalness. One knows their meaning without speaking their mother tongue. They are, to all, simply good bye. Goodbyes, the defining moments of this time of year, turn the summer days from a simple schedule adjustment to something much more. It is a time of changing present tense to past, “is” to “was.” It is a time of turning moments into memories. As lockers are slammed for the last time, it is clear that the symphony of summer vacation has officially begun. “There are some things that I’ll have a hard time saying goodbye to,” said Jalee Evans, a rising junior. “I’ll miss Mr. McCann’s beard and our chemistry teacher, Mr. Schwartz.” The now-sophomores will never again have the opportunity to be taught by the wonderfully eyebrowed legend. “I’m also sad to say goodbye to Quiz Bowl as it was this year,” Jalee continued, “and playing Brawl Stars with my boys.” Ever optimistic, Jalee turned her sad sayonaras into happy greetings. “I’m excited for next year to
bring new opportunities for me not to fail,” she said. “I, on the other hand, am excited to say goodbye to Louisa exploiting us for newspaper content,” joked Adam Silvernail. “At the same time, everything is changing and I don’t like it!” Brennan Finn, a graduating senior, was a little more somber on his last-day-ever of high school. “I am going to miss the relationships I cultivated over the years,” he reminisced. When Ned Hartsell was asked what he was most excited to say goodbye to, the Ellicottville senior had to plead the 5th. “I am excited to say hello to Tim Venturin and all of the other ECS grads going to Alfred with me next fall,” he joked. “High school will never end.” All in all, the 2018-19 school year at Ellicottville Central School was a normal mélange of happiness, teenage angst and confusion. There were, invariably, moments that some will try their very hardest to forget. Other moments will become memories stockpiled forever. In the midst of it all, it is difficult to see someone sad about the changing tides brought on by the lunar pull of end-of-year. They must simply be reminded that school is designed to be finished, a game of “to be won.” All of these changes, all of the uncertainty, is supposed to exist. Otherwise, life would not go on.

McCann adds A.D. to his teaching, coaching duties
By Sam Wilson
After 13 years as a teacher for Ellicottville Central School, Dave McCann has coached modified, junior varsity or varsity teams in four different sports. McCann hopes that experience in various sports and at each level will give him some perspective in his new job responsibilities as the Eagles’ newest athletic director. McCann replaces Chad Bartoszek, who left the school to teach, coach football and work as assistant AD in Salamanca. “Well, I just saw an opportunity with someone going out, with Chad leaving, and I just stepped in to keep things moving, I guess,” McCann said of applying for the position. “I’ve been around the school and coaching different sports for 13, 14 years so I thought this would be an opportunity that would be something that would be a good new challenge.” McCann hopes his experience at the school leads to some stability in the athletic department as it undergoes coaching changes like in football, where Jason Marsh succeeds Bartoszek, and girls soccer, where Tammy Eddy will take over for the retiring Mary Neilon. “That was one of the big things I talked with the superintendent about was just trying to be someone that can hopefully stabilize this thing for a while and do this for long enough to get on our feet and keep moving forward,” he said. “There’s a lot of changes coming but I think they’re going to be positive changes and we’re looking forward to it.” McCann, an Allegany-Limestone, SUNY Fredonia (undergrad) and St. Bonaventure (grad school) graduate, started working at ECS as a teacher in 2006.
Press file photo Ellicottville boys basketball coach Dave McCann talks with his team during a timeout in a summer league game.
He quickly got into coaching at the school, most prominently in boys basketball, where he worked up from modified to JV to his current post as varsity coach. He’s also coached modified volleyball, JV softball and recently coached modified baseball. Working in several sports should help McCann, a middle school social studies teacher, help his coaches. “I think so, especially coaching at the different levels and knowing the expectations for each level,” he said, “and maybe some of the situations that they’re going to encounter and things like that. Hopefully I have enough experience with those where I can be of assistance to our coaches.” McCann, the 2016 Big 30 Coach of the Year, said he still plans to coach basketball for the Eagles. “It might limit some of my other
things outside of the basketball season, but the plan is right now to continue doing basketball,” he said. For the bulk of his coaching career, McCann worked with then-ECS AD Karl Schwartz and observed the qualities he’d like to see from an athletic director. “For a coach, it’s just helpful having someone that can make sure fields are ready, make sure that officials are all set up and we have staff at games like chaperones and clock-keepers and book-keepers,” he said. “It takes a lot of pressure off a coach when you can just kind of focus on coaching your team and coming to the games and preparing for that. You don’t have to worry about who’s going to chaperone, who’s going to run the score clock. In the past, our athletic directors have been really good at keeping that stuff going. “I know how helpful that is, and taking their input on schedules and trying to make it happen. Working with Karl for the most part with basketball, it was always pretty easy that I would maybe set up a game and forward him an email and say this is the date and he would do the rest. I’m hoping to kind of do that with our coaches here and get as much of their input as I can and really just be of assistance to them.” Mostly, McCann hopes he can keep the athletic department going in the same direction in his new position. “I’m excited for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to a new challenge,” he said. “I’d just like to see our sports continue to have success, promote our athletes and coaches and try and link up with the community where we can. Try and strengthen that bond between our community and our athletic program.”

After Wisconsin graduate student Mildred Fish marries brilliant German economist Arvid Harnack, she accompanies him to his German homeland, where a promising future awaits. In the thriving intellectual culture of 1930s Berlin, the newlyweds create a rich new life filled with love, friendships, and rewarding work—but the rise of a malevolent new political faction inexorably changes their fate. As Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party wield violence and lies to seize power, Mildred, Arvid, and their friends resolve to resist. For years, Mildred’s network stealthily fights to bring down the Third Reich from within. But when Nazi radio operatives detect an errant Russian signal, the Harnack resistance cell is exposed, with fatal consequences. Inspired by actual events, Resistance Women is an enthralling, unforgettable story of ordinary people determined to resist the rise of evil, sacrificing their own lives and liberty to fight injustice and defend the oppressed. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book or as an audiobook using our interlibrary loan program, or you can download for free as an eBook version to your own device using your library card!

HEALTH & FITNESS: GIVE IT TIME
together to create the perfect storm. Ask anyone who has dropped 20 pounds or more by exercising and diet changes. The first couple workouts typically are followed by intense muscle soreness. And as you adjust your diet to a healthier routine, good old cravings will kick in. You will falter and even fail here and there.
individuals that have struggled to attain their goals. These goals can be anything from weight loss to injury rehab or improving your strength and endurance for a specific sport. My advice to all of them: “Give it time.” No matter what your fitness goal, time, consistency and proper nutrition need to blend
By Kim Duke In my line of work I see and hear from so many
But, if you get back on board, you will see results. Results are earned. It’s not that we cannot stick to exercise for a long period of time because we’re weak. It’s because we try to do it overnight and on top of that we expect immediate results that don’t happen, that make us give up. Commitment to fitness is not something we can just turn on like pulling a switch
in our heads. It’s always a gradual process. You start small and you build up from there, one effort at a time, one day at a time. You have to slowly reeducate yourself and get used to the idea of exercise, incorporate it into your daily life in small ways at first, and only then will you be able to commit to it more seriously long term.
Another thing I say quite regularly to my clients is that, “Every expert started out as a beginner.” So if you made some hefty resolutions that you are struggling to keep, remember that small changes can equal big results and that it is okay to have a bad day, because, every morning you get to start with a clean slate.
Summer How to clean and prepare outdoor furniture for the season cleaning guidelines. Wood Wood comes in many varieties, from hard and softwoods to wicker furniture. Mild oil-based soaps and products geared especially to cleaning wood can be handy. On wicker and painted woods, it may be best to dilute the solutions before use. Hardwood furniture and built-in decking structures may benefit from annual sanding and then reapplication of a protective finish to maintain the look of the wood for long periods of time. Plastic resin Commercial cleansers may be too harsh to use on plastic resin furniture. Before risking discoloration or scratching, try some ingredients that are may be lying around the house. For example, use a wet sponge dipped in baking soda as a mild abrasive to clean resin. Just be sure to thoroughly rinse off the powdery residue afterward. Automatic dishwasher detergent mixed with a gallon of
It’s a nearly-scientific fact that you can solve most any problem by putting dirt on it. Scraped knee? Dirt. Embarrassing bald spot? Dirt. Nagging mother-in-law? Dirt. Lots of it. Juuust kidding. The point is, when people need a little more excitement in life, they probably just need to add a little dirt. And that’s where KIOTI tractors come in. Intuitively designed to dominate the dirt, these machines make it an easy decision for anyone also inclined to favor the filthy.

Glass Dish detergent and general home cleaning solutions work well on glass surfaces. Remember to clean all sides, including bottom-facing areas. After cleaning, use vinegar or a glass cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth to produce a streak-free shine. Outdoor cushions Outdoor fabrics are derived from different materials. However, this general-purpose recipe, courtesy of the DIY Network, may help clean many outdoor fabrics. Mix 1 teaspoon dishwashing detergent, 1 quart warm water and 1 tablespoon borax together. Saturate a sponge and use it to wash the cushions. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then spray it off with a high-force hose. Stand the cushions on their edges to dry outdoors.

As temperatures rise, people increasingly venture outdoors to soak up the sun, enjoy the mild breezes and entertain under the open sky. Clean and comfortable furniture can make outdoor entertaining that much more enjoyable. After months in storage or nestled under protective tarps, outdoor furniture likely needs a good cleaning before it’s put to the test once again. Mildew may have formed, insects may be hiding out within cushions or other crevices and dirt may have accumulated - even if the furniture was cleaned before being stored away. Experts recommend cleaning outdoor furniture between three and four times per year to keep it in optimal condition. Before cleaning, determine the material your furniture is made of, as some cleaning products may not be safe for all materials. When in doubt, read the care tags on cushions and other products or refer back to the original packaging for cleaning instructions. Always test a cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first. The following are some additional general furniture

Ellicottville Village Board yet to make short term rental decision

The June meeting of the Ellicottville Village Board opened with good news. Two checks were received from the county, one totaling $99,307.54 for the County Sales Tax Distribution and the second in the amount of $4,203.80 for the County Mortgage Tax Distribution. Mayor John Burrell noted that the village is lucky to receive these distribution checks because a county such as Allegany that does not have a city needs to raise these funds via property taxes, which Ellicottville does not have to. The distribution to the village is based on our property tax assessments. Because the value of homes is higher in Ellicottville, the village gets a bigger portion of that money collected by the county. Next, there was discussion on the minutes from last month’s meeting regarding the public hearing on Short Term Rentals. Trustee Spencer Murray said they should only include in the minutes the facts and not people’s suggestions or opinions. He wants the hard facts of how many in attendance, how many spoke and was the majority for or against the matter. The village attorney advised that the village needs a high quality recorder for the meetings and that way they can be referenced back on if necessary. The minutes would essentially be a good outline of the meetings with the proper motions and discussion topics. At the end of the meeting, an executive session was held regarding the Short Term Rentals change, but no action came of it. In his report, Burrell said the DRI Grant Application has been filed and the formal presentation will be given in Buffalo on July 8. There are 10 municipalities who have entered in for the grant and will present their plan as well. Copies of the grant application are available at the Village Clerk’s office. The village and town Joint Water District is coming along and the two municipalities are getting closer to a resolution. The Engineering Report included discussion regarding the Baseball Grant. The village is waiting on a corrected invoice from the vendor who did the work in order to properly balance the books for year end. There was a meeting with Joe Crimi of
NY Power Authority regarding the LED Street Light Conversion. The board, in conjunction with Town/Village Engineer Niles Pierson, has yes to decide whether the village will convert the lights for a small upfront cost and long term savings or spend roughly $106,000 to purchase the light poles and see a greater long term savings after the project has paid for itself. The only issue with the latter option is that the village needs other municipalities to join in for the project to be feasible. The new Lagoon Masters are in and installed. Ellicottville is the first municipality in the state to have this type of equipment at a wastewater treatment facility. There will be a large energy savings as the new machine is much more efficient than the old machinery. There will be a new water main installed along Maybee Alley. This is due to Dina’s opening a banquet facility, and in order to tap into the system they would need to bore under Route 219. The project materials are being purchased by Dina’s and the labor will be done for the village. This is a great upgrade to the system and a win/win for all parties involved. There was a meeting regarding the proposed Skate Park in the village which was well attended. There will be a barbeque fundraiser on Friday, June 21 from 4-8 p.m. for National Skate Day. There will be tee shirts available for sale, a can drive and donations accepted. The project has taken on a life of its own and organizers are currently applying for a $150,000 grant, which the municipality would need to guarantee 10 percent of, or $15,000. Trustee Patra Lowes noted that with soccer about to start, the village needs to get the parking delineated and for coaches and parents to be reminded not to park on the fence side of Parkside Drive. A real estate salesperson approached the board regarding a piece of land in the village for a parking structure. The owner in the past wanted too much money for a parking structure to be economically feasible but is now willing to come down in price. The board appreciated the information and advised if the DRI Grant is received then this is something to look at then. The next meeting of the village board will be Monday, July 15 at 6 p.m. at the Village/Town Hall.
