2015 is well on it’s way and the William R. Nash Companies are busier than ever. 2014 turned out to be a very successful year for the
organization and 2015 looks even better. Opportunities for future work are plentiful and we hope to strategically target the projects that will
best fit our strengths.
William R. Nash, Inc. is very active in the South Florida market highlighted by all the work we are doing for Baptist Health South Florida. The
Miami Cancer Institute is just starting to kick into high gear, while the Baptist Cardiac Vascular Institute is well underway for completion in 2016.
We also just recently finished the Clarke Pavilion job. All of these projects are located at their main campus in Miami.
Fast track projects have seemed to be the theme in the latter half of 2014 and to this point in 2015. With the recent completion of the NI/CI
Building at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston and the complete hospital renovation at the Miami International Medical Center, William R. Nash
is equipped to handle these challenging schedules. Both of these projects were significantly sized projects and will have been completed
within a year’s time. That’s quite an accomplishment and hats off to the field and management staff for jobs well done!
William R. Nash V.I., Inc. successfully completed our projects at the Westin Hotel and Resort (St. John) & the first phase of work at the new
Margaritaville Time Share project (St. Thomas). Phase two is scheduled to begin later this summer; kudos to our fellow team members in the
Virgin Islands.
Not to be left out, Nash Mechanical, LLC has recently completed the hospital renovation project at Wright Patterson AFB (Dayton, OH). The new
Research Building at the VA Hospital Campus is just getting started (New Orleans, LA) and we have just gotten started on Phase one of the new
Navy Federal Credit Union (Pensacola, FL).
As you can see, everyone is working hard and there are many other projects that could be mentioned! To those not specifically cited we all are
appreciative of your efforts each day. They do not go unnoticed.
Off the jobsite, as most of our team members are fully aware, the Company presented a roll out presentation for all team members here in
South Florida as well as in St. Thomas, USVI. The goal was to better inform every one of the happenings within the organization. I feel we
successfully delivered the message of where the Company is headed in the next 5 years and just how we plan on implementing and
accomplishing our new Mission, Vision, Core Values and Goals. We truly appreciate all of you that attended. I hope you took away from the
event how important each and every one of you are to our success in carrying out our 5 year Strategic Plan.
Executive Management also appreciates all the employee feedback we received at the presentations. We are looking forward to addressing all
of your concerns. Recently there was a benefit survey sent out and we will release the results as soon as possible.
On a final note, summer is just around the corner and since many vacations are taken during this time period, William R. Nash would like to
wish everyone a safe, enjoyable and fun time.
As always, I’m available to any of our team members so if you have any concerns, comments or questions please give me a call at the Miami
office, pull me aside if I am on the jobsite visiting,– or send me an e-mail at [email protected].

Cusano’s Bakery
Coconut Creek, Florida
GC: JBP Constuction
Serving south Florida with quality Italian bakery products for over 40 years. Cusano’s Bakery has been owned and operated
since 1966 by the Greco family. The current owners, Michael, Salvatore, and Santo Greco are fifth generation bakers. They
carry on the tradition of baking quality breads that have been in their family for over 100 years.
William R. Nash, Inc. began its portion of work in December of 2014 which consisted of the conversion of an existing 110,000
sq. ft. warehouse into a fully automated bread baking factory. The systems required to be installed are low pressure steam,
natural gas, compressed air, domestic water, sanitary piping, refrigeration piping, double wall flue vent, 17 exhaust fans, 5
makeup air units,1 chiller, 1 Ice flaker, and 5 split A/C systems. When asked if there were any special or unique qualities to this
project it was explained that all baking equipment and conveyor belts were imported from Germany. Special connecting
fittings had to be located in order to hookup the equipment. Another unique situation was that since a bakery falls under the
FDA guidelines any all thread rod used to support our piping systems was required to be sleeved with poly tubing. This
eliminates dust from clinging to the edges of the threads. This also allows the surface of the rod to be cleaned. Of a special
note the facility is currently in operation (7) days a week 24 hours a day with the exception of Sundays which the bread line
only shuts down for 6 hours for cleaning and servicing the equipment.
Now that’s a lot of bread.
William R. Nash, Inc. staffing for this project includes:
Kris Youlden- Vice President
& Ted Petrosky- Project Foreman
The project’s estimated completion date is June 2015.
Cusano’s Bakery is expected to start the build out process for the remaining 75,000 sq. ft. area called phase 2 & 3
within the next 12 months.

Pensacola, Florida
GC: Hensel Phelps
Florida has the third largest finance and insurance cluster in the nation. Most of the nation’s leading
financial and professional services companies have established large operations in Florida to take
advantage of its global connectivity, experienced workforce, and favorable business climate.
This project includes the construction of two buildings that will be home to 5,000 new positions. The two
multi-story office buildings that should be complete by 2016 will house 1,500 employees. Navy Federal
has created more than 2,100 jobs and invested more than $250 million in capital in Florida as a result of
competitive economic development projects. In total, the company plans to employ more than 10,000 and
create $1 billion in capital investments in the state.
Phase 1 will include one multi-wing office building, a central energy plant, a parking deck, surface parking
areas, and associated connecting bridges, roads, walking paths, stormwater retention and infrastructure.
The office building will be constructed as two wings with a central commons area connecting the two.
Each office wing will be approximately 147,153 SF, to accommodate 1,000 occupants per wing. Each wing
will have a raised access floor system for air distribution similar to those existing on campus. The 68,316 SF
commons building will house a café, a coffee shop, conference rooms, training rooms, a small fitness
center, and a 23,864 SF mechanical penthouse. A 347,500 SF parking garage will be constructed adjacent

The
Trouble
With
Bubbles
Steps to Quitting
Soda for Good!
You know soda's not exactly good for you—but at the same time, it can be hard to resist. Its sweet taste, pleasant fizz,
and energizing jolt often seems like just what you need to wash down your dinner, get you through an afternoon slump,
or quench your thirst at the movies.
But the more soda you consume (regular or diet), the more hazardous your habit can become. And whether you're a
six-pack-a-day drinker or an occasional soft-drink sipper, cutting back can likely have benefits for your weight and your
overall health. Here's why you should be drinking less, plus tips on how to make the transition easier.
Why you should quit
The biggest risk for regular soda drinkers is the excess calories, says Lona Sandon, RD, assistant professor of clinical
nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "The calories in regular soda are coming entirely
from added sugar, and you're not getting any value in terms of vitamins or minerals, or even good quality
carbohydrates," she says.
But soda may also be causing other types of harm. Studies have shown that its consumption is linked with tooth decay
and diabetes, and it also seems to be bad for your bones. "It may have something to do with the phosphorus in soda, or it
could be that people are drinking soda instead of other beverages—like milk—that have nutrients necessary for healthy
bones," Sandon says.
But what about diet soda?
Sugar-free sodas may not have any calories, but that doesn't mean they're any good for you. In fact, they may not even
help you lose weight. (Research on this topic has been mixed, at best, but several studies have shown that diet soda
drinkers are more likely to be overweight or obese than regular soda drinkers.)
Plus, diet drinks have many of the same health risks as regular soft drinks, including tooth decay and bone thinning,
and they've also been linked to heart disease anddepression in women. Switching to diet sodas may be a smart first
step if you're trying to eliminate excess calories, says Sandon, but your best bet is to eventually give them up, too.
Wean yourself off slowly
That news may be enough to convince you that you should stop drinking soda, but it could still be easier said than done.
"People really can become addicted to soda, so you have to be a realist and not an idealist," says nutritionist Stefanie
Sacks, author of the forthcoming book What the Fork Are You Eating?. "I don't recommend going cold turkey; you need
to wean yourself off, just like you would anything you've become dependent on."
If you typically drink multiple servings of soda a day, Sacks suggests first cutting back to one a day. Give that two
weeks, then switch to three sodas a week. "It gives you a chance to adjust gradually, which should lead to real,
sustainable change," says Sacks.
Mix it with water
Sandon also recommends weaning yourself slowly off soda, and sometimes suggests that her clients start drinking
half-soda, half-water. "You're automatically drinking less and hydrating and filling up with water, which is a good thing,"
she says.
But there's an added advantage, as well: "It cuts back on the sweetness you get from soda, which is one of the things
people get really used to. If you're drinking less sugar, your taste buds will change and soon you won't need that
Page 16
sweetness anymore."
Start tracking your calories
If you're blindly throwing back colas without stopping to think of their impact on your
waistline, you could be in for a rude awakening: Each 12-ounce can of Coke, for example,
contains 140 calories, while a 20-ounce bottle has 240. (In comparison, here are some
smarter snacks for just 200 calories—with filling protein and fiber, to boot.)
Downloading a calorie-tracking app may help you realize just how much those beverages
can affect your daily calorie consumption—as long as you actually log in and record each
serving. Instead of pouring yourself refill after refill, start paying attention to how much
you're actually drinking; once you do, you may be more willing to cut back.
Another way to quantify the calories you're drinking is by thinking about how much
exercise it would take to burn them off. In a 2014 Johns Hopkins University study,
researchers placed signs in corner stores stating that a 20-ounce bottle of soda would take
5 miles of walking or 50 minutes of jogging to burn off. These "advertisements" worked:
When teenager customers saw these signs, they were more likely to buy a smaller soda, a
water, or no drink at all. "When you explain calories in an easily understandable way such
as how many miles of walking needed to burn them off, you can encourage behavior
change,” said the study authors.
Switch to unsweetened tea
Need that jolt of caffeine to wake up in the morning? If you're not a coffee drinker, Sandon suggests sipping on unsweetened iced tea instead. "It
can be just as refreshing, and there are real health benefits to drinking the phytochemicals in tea," she says.
If you don't like the taste of plain tea, mix in some lemon, mint, or a small amount of sugar or artificial sweetener—at least during your transition-from-soda phase. The important thing is that you're aware of, and in charge of, exactly what's going into your drink and how much is added.
Drink a glass of water first
Whenever the urge to drink a soda hits, fill up a big glass of ice water and finish that first. "A lot of times, people drink soda just because they're
bored, or they're thirsty, and that's what's available or that's what they're used to," says Sacks.
If you're still craving a soda after you've downed your H2O, then you can reconsider whether it's really worth it—but chances are your thirst will
be quenched and you'll feel satisfied from just the water. (You can make this work while you're out and about, too, by always carrying a bottle of
water with you.)
Treat yourself to natural brands
When Sacks has successfully weaned her clients down to just a few sodas a week, she often recommends they switch to a brand with fewer
artificial ingredients. "They're more expensive, but you'll be drinking them less often," she says. Sacks likes Grown Up Soda, Santa Cruz Organics,
and Blue Sky because they don't contain high-fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients, and generally contain less sugar than the big brands.
"They're an overall healthier choice, especially if you're only drinking them occasionally."
Give seltzer a try
If it's carbonation you crave, try drinking plain or flavored seltzer water, suggests Sacks. You can buy seltzer by the bottle, or make your own at
home with a SodaStream machine ($69, amazon.com).
"Toss a little fruit juice in there for flavor, and eventually change that juice to fresh-squeezed citrus," says Sacks. "That way you still get the
bubbles that you love in soda, but you're in control of how much sweetness and sugar is added.
Class up your water
Even still water (or non-bubbly) can be made more palatable with the addition of some fruit or natural flavors. "People tell me they don't like
water, but often they just need to experiment with new ways to drink it," says Sandon.
She recommends adding lemon, orange, or cucumber slices to a pitcher of water in your refrigerator, which can serve as a detour when you go
hunting for a cold soda.Frozen berries and fresh mint can also be tasty additions to a cold glass of H2O.
Steer clear of soda triggers
You may notice that you only drink soda in certain places or situations: In the afternoon at the office, for example, or when you eat at a certain
restaurant. You may not be able to completely avoid these scenarios—you've still got to go to work and should still enjoy eating out—but you
may be able to change those bad habits.
If it's the office vending machine that tempts you to buy a soda every day, try to stay away from it in the afternoon—and pack your own healthy
beverage or a refillable water bottle so you have an alternative. Or if you tend to crave soda with a certain type of food, try restaurants that offer
other options instead.
Try it for two weeks
Weaning yourself off something gradually works best for most people, says Sacks, but some may want to try the cold turkey approach. If you
plan to go that route, think of it as a temporary change: Giving soda up for two weeks or a month may be easier and more manageable than
ditching it forever.
The best part about this trick? Once your time is up, you may not even want to go back to soda—at least not at the frequency you drank it
before. "We acquire a taste for sugar depending on how much we have on a daily basis," says Sandon. "If you cut out soda for a while, you may be
surprised at how sweet it tastes ones you go back." (Want extra help with the cold-turkey method? Enlist friends to take the challenge with you.)

Here are 12 tips for keeping cool this summer:
1. Water, water, everywhere. Plan to make water easy to reach and keep it at a cool, drinkable temperature.
Provide electrolyte replacement beverages. Avoid soda pop and energy drinks.
2. Stay in good physical shape. Extra saddlebags mean more work and more sweat. Hit the gym or walk the oval a
few times after dusk to work it off. Cut down on tobacco.
3. Eat right. Avoid high-fat, greasy fast food. Try to eat a lighter meal during hottest time of the day. Half a
sandwich, a bag of chips, unsweetened iced tea with a lot of lemon and an apple are the mid-range to aim for.
Skip the fries.
4. Be aware of the ‘post lunch dip’ effect of drowsiness. Circadian rhythms govern our sleep/wake cycle and this
after-lunch interval is a tough one. You can minimize the fatigue by easing up on the mid-day meal.
5. Get your sleep. REM sleep is harder to achieve in hot weather. Try to keep sleeping rooms cool. Use low-speed
ceiling fans for air entrainment.
6. Timing is everything. Whenever possible, plan the job to avoid direct sun or move up the start time. If working
in direct sun can't be avoided, schedule frequent rest breaks in a shaded area. The outdoor tool industry sells a
variety of shade umbrellas and portable coverings, if needed.
7. Dress to stay cool. Engineered fabric athletic and recreational garments can reduce the heat load on the body.
They offer trans-evaporative cooling, UV and insect protection. They are a little pricey but, depending on your
location, it might be worth trying these out.
8. Avoid going in and out of air conditioned climates. That’s a body slam each way in terms of adjusting.
9. Be alert for signs of heat stress. The order of seriousness is:
a. Heat cramps - Usually from poor hydration; take it easy, drink water, put feet up.
b. Heat exhaustion – Knock off for the day, go someplace cool, re-hydrate, rest.
c. Heat stroke – Call 911.
10. Plan for heat stress avoidance. Heat stress avoidance steps include maintaining proper hydration, pacing
yourself and the crew, avoiding prolonged strenuous exertion, staying covered up in direct sun, etc.
11. Cover your head. A wide-brim hard hat is actually pretty good head covering against the sun. Add a nape
protector or wrap-around sun visor to maximize protection. Use sun block on any exposed skin.
12. Cool it down. The neck and head pretty much govern the heat loading on the body, because a lot of blood
flows through these parts. That’s why cooling "bandanas" are so effective. If you can keep the direct sun off the
head and neck, it will help a lot. If you can add a cooling element to remove some caloric energy from your
circulatory piping, better still.

Kiwi Blueberry Mint Mojito
Ingredients
6 kiwis, peeled and cut in half or quartered
4 kiwis, peeled and sliced - to be used as garnishes
6 ounces of blueberries, to be crushed
6 ounce of blueberries, to be kept whole as garnishes
¼ cup fresh lime juice, from 1-2 limes
½ cup sugar, adjust to taste
4 ounce pack of mint, leaves only
1 ½ - 2 cups of sparkling water
1 to 1 ½ cups of rum, adjust based on your preference
Ice as needed
Blue and/or green sugar to decorate glass rims
Instructions
Place the cut kiwis in a small food processor with the sugar and lime juice, pulse until you have coarse puree. Mix the kiwi puree
with the rum, you can start by adding the lower amount and then adjust as you prepare the drink.
Gently crush the first 6 ounces of blueberries using a muddler.
You can make the mojitos in pitcher or in individual glasses.
Moisten the rims of the glasses with a slice of lime and garnish the rims with the sugar. If you can’t find blue and/or green
sugar, you can use blue/green cookie sugar sprinkles.
To make it in a pitcher, pour the kiwi puree into the pitcher, add a layer of ice, add a good amount of mint leaves and kiwi slices.
Next add a few more ice cubes, and then add the crushed blueberries, some more mint leaves and whole blueberries. Top off
with the sparkling water and mix gently. Taste and add more rum, sparkling water, or sugar if needed.
To make the drink in individual glasses, follow a similar process as for the pitcher, but add a few whole blueberries at the
beginning. You can also add a slice of kiwi with the blueberries at the end.
Notes
*To make this as a mocktail variation, just leave out the rum and replace it with additional sparkling water or sparkling
lemonade.
