Accolades aside, Mike says his customers always come first. As we head into cooler weather, he stressed the importance of scheduling a safety inspection of your furnace to prevent potential carbon monoxide issues. “You would never leave your car running in the garage because of the dangerous fumes,” he says, “but a very similar, and deadly, situation may result if gas fumes from your furnace leak into your house.” Triton Air technicians attend weekly training sessions that focus on the details of furnace safety and thorough inspections, thus ensuring that your system is running efficiently and safely.

LEADERS IN SERVICE AND COMMUNITY

BY VICTORIA KERTZ

It’s safe to say that Triton Air is a company that stands out. Whether it’s their eye-catching Pacific blue service vans or the more than 1200 5-star Google reviews, this San Clementebased heating and air service company simply blows the competition away. Known for excellent service, generous work with families in need, and campaigns like Lennox’s “Feel the Love,” Triton Air is unique.

In 2021, a year that didn’t exactly go as planned, Triton Air beat revenue projections, increased the number of employees, and acquired Ocean Air from the Kopp family in Laguna Niguel. But if you ask Mike Nicolai, founder of Triton Air, he’d say the highlight was his July trip to Malawi, Africa.

In a remote part of the country, he and his wife Kim are working to fund a unique allterrain, 4x4 ambulance used to transport expectant mothers and other women to the hospital. This area suffers from heavy rains, washed out dirt roads, and a high infant mortality rate due to the lack of dependable transportation. As a result, mothers often walk for miles or take an ox cart to the hospital in Livingstonia.

Working with the non-profit company Y-Malawi, Mike and Kim met with local hospital association leaders and residents who will benefit from the vehicle. “What’s so mind-blowing is the lack of funding for medicine and everyday items like bandages that we’re able to readily purchase,” says Mike. “It’s a whole different story in Malawi, a land-locked country that receives goods much slower than other African countries. They can teach us a lot about patience and gratitude.”

Here in Orange County, Triton Air has provided free services to nonprofits and families in need for years, but the Nicolai’s were still surprised to be recognized for their efforts when the company was named San Clemente Business of the Year.

This is an honor that Mike attributes to his team’s consistent community involvement and dedication to clients during the lockdowns of 2020. His staff even volunteered to go grocery shopping for some of their customers. Mike calls the recognition a “lifetime achievement award; it really is an honor and we are blessed and so proud.”

Triton Air was also named Most Popular in Orange County by the Los Angeles Times, ranked #1 in South County companies on Google, and was recently nominated for a Spire award.

For those who want to avoid carbon emissions of any kind, Mike explains that Triton Air offers new zeroemission heat pumps that both heat and cool your home without using gas. These pumps are powered by electricity and, for homes with solar panels installed, can heat and cool with power generated from the sun.

These systems also offer a financial benefit by avoiding future local or state taxes on gas or fossil fuel-dependent appliances.

ST. ANNE SCHOOL EXPLORE YOUR GIFTS. DISCOVER YOUR PASSIONS. ENVISION YOUR FUTURE. When you walk onto St. Anne School’s campus in Laguna Niguel, you will likely hear students practicing musical instruments, laughing on the playground, or singing at weekly Mass.

Should a student discover a passion for faith and service to others, the vibrant Campus Ministry program allows students to put faith into action. The primary goal of the program is to create and actualize faith-based activities that enrich the community through worship and liturgy, school religious activities, and community outreach projects.

St. Anne School is committed to preparing students for purposeful and fulfilling futures.

THE JOHNSON ACADEMY SPECIALIZING IN EVIDENCE-BASED READING AND MATH INTERVENTIONS Did you know that one out of every five children struggle in reading? Children who receive intervention before 3rd grade have a 90% chance of increasing their reading skills to meet their intellectual abilities. Due to the high demands of literacy, reading is more important than ever!

The Johnson Academy and Speech, Language & Learning Center (SLLC), located in San Juan Capistrano, offers evidence-based reading and math intervention programs to improve phonemic awareness, comprehension, vocabulary knowledge and cognitive abilities.

About The Founder Cathy Johnson became a licensed Speech/ Language Pathologist in 1991 after completing a B.A. and M.A. in Communication Disorders, with a minor in Child Development. She initially focused on treating young children with speech and language disorders, but broadened her scope of practice when those same young children returned to her for help in reading. Ad-

ditionally, Cathy’s own daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and her mission to help children became her passion.

For the past four years, she and the University of La Verne have been building an Orton-Gillingham Based Dyslexia Teacher Training Program at the University of La Verne under the guidance of Drs. Mary Farrell and Nancy Cushen-White.

They have created a rigorous reading intervention curriculum based on the Science of Reading. The Orton-Gillingham methodology is the gold standard of interventions and is transforming the literacy abilities of children which we know can change their academic trajectory.

The Johnson Academy and SLLC, offer a variety of programs to help children with reading and learning differences. The individualized approach in teaching allows the school to adapt to the unique learning style of each child. The Johnson Academy services fami-

lies who are looking for an all-day school experience. With the low teacher to student ratio, the children are able to excel in a hands-on learning environment.

Programs The Speech, Language & Learning Center offers a comprehensive assessment battery consisting of diagnostic tests designed to identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses. After the assessment, a consultation is scheduled to explain the results and discuss an individualized intervention tailored to specifically address areas of concern.

If your child struggles with keeping up in school, please contact us to find out more information! Call 949.487.5251 or visit scheduling@ocsllcinc.com.

STRATFORD SCHOOL WHEN YOU COMBINE COLLABORATION AND INDIVIDUALITY…THE EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENS! At Stratford School, high expectations yield extraordinary results. Our advanced yet intentionally balanced curriculum starts as early as Preschool to inspire and nurture the minds and hearts of every student. From the outset, we simplify challenging concepts, then accelerate learning to enable our students to study ahead of grade level, develop a love of learning, and prepare for the future.

From Preschool through Grade 8, Stratford’s curriculum is infused with sequential instruction in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics — “STEAM” — to help students develop a diverse set of problem-solving skills and talents they’ll need in today’s world. We accomplish this through a unique cross-disciplinary approach that enhances critical thinking, integrates ideas from multiple subjects, and ultimately expands student learning.

Beginning in Preschool, Stratford’s curriculum is designed to develop the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical building blocks. Hands-on, multi-sensory activities, including our Imaginative STEAM Play, encourage preschoolers to play and share with others, while developing their selfconfidence, so each child discovers the joy and excitement of learning.

In Elementary, our accelerated core curriculum exceeds the National Standardized ERB Results and motivates students to become critical thinkers and proficient writers. This balanced approach imparts students with not only a well-rounded education; it fosters the development of strong friendships, effective study skills, and blossoming self-confidence.

Middle School continues the Stratford tradition of excellence. We prepare and mentor students for placement in honors and advanced courses at top-

tier private and public high schools. Stratford’s intentional approach to educating the whole child results in young adults who are gifted communicators, skilled, generous collaborators, creative problem-solvers, and confident, insightful leaders.

Our caring and passionate teachers cultivate a fun and nurturing classroom environment, where high expectations encourage students to try new things with confidence and enthusiasm. They present a broad spectrum of learning opportunities. They engage students. They invite questions.

They encourage students to collaborate. Consequently, students laugh a lot, and learn even more.

SAN CLEMENTE DERMATOLOGY & SKIN CANCER San Clemente Dermatology & Skin Cancer recently opened full-time in the North Beach neighborhood of San Clemente. The office, located across from the DMV, provides cutting edge medical and cosmetic dermatologic treatments and procedures that help patients obtain the healing they need. From cosmetic aesthetic and enhancement procedures to skin cancer surgery and removal, you’re in great hands with their team of boardcertified dermatologists and plastic surgeons, experienced nurses and aestheticians.

Dr. Raza Mehdi is thrilled to bring his years of experience in Newport Beach to San Clemente.

Dr. Mehdi is a Dermatologist and has been practicing medicine for 27 years, after graduating from Northwestern University of Chicago. He is well-known by his patients for his excellent bedside manner, kindness, and patience. He chose the field of dermatology because he can see the difference in his patient’s confidence after treatments. “Whether it’s medical or cosmetic,

it makes a huge difference in a patient’s outlook and attitude when we are able to help them,” states Dr. Mehdi. “My goal for each patient I treat is to make them feel as if they are the only patient of the day and that their goals and issues were heard. I put patients at ease by making them feel comfortable so that they can express any concerns,“ he added.
