Kathy Ockey Misha Addley has recently opened her new business, “Permanent Cosmetics and Aesthetics” in Orangeville. Misha grew up in Orangeville and likes to draw, read and go snowboarding. Misha recently completed rigorous training to become a Medical Master Aesthetician. The training involves a 1,200 hour basic course but Misha completed a more rigorous 1,300 hour course. She went to school for 40 hours a week and also worked at the same time. She attended Cameo College of Essential Beauty and now is an instructor in Misha Addley Nielson Construction steps into the concrete business goal for the company for a number of years and the timing seemed right for the expansion this year, especially as the company has been forced to adjust to two economic factors that could have rocked many construction companies this year. First, with a large number of contracts for asphalt the company was forced to delay many jobs as a shortage of asphalt oil and the high cost of fuel left contractors throughout Utah and Colorado unable to complete road construction projects. “We were unable to complete half of our asphalt projects this year because we couldn’t get asphalt oil. We can’t let our company be held hostage by the instabilities in the oil markets, so we decided now was the time to expand into the James L. Davis Nielson Construction has taken a step to further diversify an already diverse portfolio of services as it establishes a concrete batch plant near Price. The Huntington based construction company has purchased a new batch plant and five cement trucks, which it plans to have in operation by this spring. The plant will be located adjacent to one of the company’s asphalt plants, which it relocated to the Price area last year to meet demands for asphalt in the Carbon County area. Another asphalt plant is located near Huntington. According to John Nielson, Nielson Construction vice president, expanding into the concrete business has been a long term concrete business,” said Wayne Nielson, company president. “It’s a sizeable investment for our company and like any new venture, it comes with its risks, but we’ve always had faith in our people’s ability to meet any challenge and we feel this investment will allow us to offer even more to our customers.” The second challenge the company faced was the economic downturn throughout the world and the impact the economy has had on projected road construction projects for 2009. Nielson Construction had planned on bidding a large number of road projects in the coming year, but the recent announcement by the Utah Department of Transportation that it would suspend approximately 50 projects in the next year due to budget shortfalls was devastating news for the company. The new concrete plant will give the company an extra resource to use to keep its employees working and to offer services to the Emery and Carbon County area. The new plant will offer concrete that will meet state certifications. “We will be able to offer concrete for customers both large and small, from sidewalks to foundations and we are going to offer a top quality product,” John Nielson said. Over the next several months the company will construct the batch plant with plans to have it up and running by the spring. The plant is the latest in services the company will offer to its customers and is part of a management phi- losophy that has served the family-owned construction business well over the years. Since its inception in 1967, the company has prided itself on the diversification of its employees and it capabilities. Starting small on projects for local coal mines and road construction projects, it has since expanded into construction of dams, oil and gas field work, construction projects for area power plants, reclamation projects for coal mines and super cell development for customers such as ECDC and Energy Solutions. It purchased its first asphalt plant in 2000 and quickly began producing Superpave so that it could offer road construction services for state and federal highway projects from start to finish. According to Wayne Nielson, it is the diversity of the company’s abilities and the quality of its people that has been the key to the success of the construction company over the years. Expanding into the concrete business will give the company one more avenue to keep the company moving forward. “The economy is going through a difficult time right now and like every company, we are feeling the impact, but we are fortunate to have outstanding employees who are skilled in a variety of areas. The addition of a concrete division in our company gives us the flexibility to keep our employees working and offers an added service for our customers. It will be a challenge, but one we plan to meet successfully,” said John Nielson. Emery Telcom plans to increase services as it purcchases Precis Communications Emery Telcom’s Dec. 2 announcement that Emery Telcom Video will purchase the television systems of Precis Communications will eventually result in better service and more features for cable subscribers. The acquisition of Precis Communications will also help Emery Telcom Video as it prepares to launch its own IPTV, which will be a service much like cable or satellite television and is carried to homes through Emery Telcom’s phone lines in high definition. According to Emery Telcom’s chief business manager, Jared Anderson, the company has no plans f O f ing n u n g hard & R b ridinion m .co ew evi tyR n ou C ery to close the cable company once its own IPTV is fully on line, rather, it plans to use its own capabilities to upgrade Precis Communications and offer better service to the company’s cable subscribers. One of those new services will be a new, local television channel ETV is currently developing for its IPTV. The channel will offer local content, including coverage of community events and local sports. The channel will be made available to Precis customers as well.
