Additionally, a special story from The STAR Institute located in Greenwood Village, discusses their innovative approach to sensory processing disorder and the difference it can make in the lives of families.

N-Hance Wood Renewal: Hassle-Free Floor Refinishing By Karen Carter
I
t always pays to call in professionals when the hardwood floors in your home need some extra care, but what if you’re dreading the inconvenience as well as the fumes and noise of having such work done? Since 1990, homeowners throughout the metro Denver area have counted on Andy Rozo and his team at the local office of N-Hance Wood Renewal to refinish their wood floors without all the smell, mess, and dust of traditional methods and with outstanding results. N-Hance Wood Renewal can return hardwood floors that look scratched or dull after years of use to their original finish without sanding or fumes. The N-Hance Revolutionary Wood Renewal system gets the same results as traditional methods, often in just one day. As Rozo puts it, “There really isn’t anything similar to N-Hance in the Denver area. We offer a unique service in the industry, and we’re proud of our Gold rating with the BBB, A-plus rating with Angie’s List, and five-star reviews with Google and other search engines.”

Even floors that can’t be treated with traditional methods can be revitalized by N-Hance Wood Renewal because the process is not hard on the materials it treats. Cork, bamboo, hand-scraped or distressed wood, and some engineered floors as well as solid wood floors that have been sanded down to the tongue and groove can all benefit from N-Hance Wood Renewal. Rozo adds that an exclusive, 100 percent cured, anti-microbial topcoat called Lightspeed is also used so N-Hance customers don’t have to wait a long time before walking on their refinished floors. Designed to help kill bacteria, the finish also contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Regardless of the type of floors you need to refinish, Rozo says, the professionals at N-Hance Wood Renewal never cut corners in order to do the best work possible every time. “In the end,” he adds, “we always make it right!”

THE MOST AMBITIOUS SEASON YET By Cynthia Ellis
Six years ago the Lone Tree Arts Center (LTAC) lifted the curtain on a cultural center that has provided a variety of world-class musical and theatrical productions for the community. The upcoming 2016-2017 season could be its best so far.
A
rtistically, this is our most ambitious season yet, said Marketing Director Leigh Chandler, “and we’re thrilled with the reception we’ve gotten from the community.” In 2008, the community approved a tax increase to build a place where art, theater, music and its residents could come together. This place would become “the Heart of Lone Tree”. The Ridgegate community developers donated the land for the LTAC and the rest, as they say, is artistic history. But how unusual is it for a community of 11,000 people to build and maintain a cultural center? “It’s a bit unusual for a city like Lone Tree to have built an arts center, but if you look at what the city strives to be it makes perfect sense. Lone Tree has become a point of interest for exceptional shopping, cultural arts, top-rated schools and excellent recreational activities,” Chandler said. The LTAC building is a work of art itself. It has a versatile 200-seat event hall for intimate performances that also opens through a glass wall into a 350-seat outdoor terrace theater. The 500-seat main stage theater has a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system, an orchestra pit, and offers orchestra and balcony seating. It’s also a certified energy efficient building.

Spotlight® Magazine | Fall 2016
We pay special attention to programs for kids and families...
“We strive to produce and present the best and most professional and entertaining performances as possible. We know our community has a range of interests and we try to present a variety of artists so that there’s always something for everyone, “ Chandler said. Everyone also includes the community’s youngest residents. “We pay special attention to programs for kids and families,” Chandlers said. “Our Seedlings programs are very low cost ($3 per ticket) and are intended to introduce toddlers to the arts.” The Passport to Culture programs are for school-age kids and are also low cost
($5 per ticket), and we hold student matinées for schools in the South Metro area,“ she said. There is also sensory-friendly programming for individuals with special needs. The volunteer usher corps are made up of 150 people who give their time to make sure the audience is welcomed and has a great experience. One of the highly anticipated shows this season is a three week run of EVITA. “EVITA will be a full scale musical production, and our largest to date, Chandler said, “Each year we produce our own theatrical shows, and in addition to EVITA, this season also includes a production of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play and the World Premiere of Muscle Shoals: I’ll Take You There, featuring the music and stories from the famed recording studios in Alabama.” Famed singer-songwriter Art Garfunkel will be performing and other musical concerts include classical, bluegrass, and jazz groups. Although some people may not have known about LTAC, Chandler says they draw audiences from all over the South Metro and Denver areas. “Oftentimes we are presenting artists that you just can’t see anywhere else, and those performers draw from all over the metro area,” Chandler said. “Our theatrical productions also draw from outside of Lone Tree as well.” And while still a relatively young organization the LTAC has filled a community need. “Since Lone Tree is growing, there was definitely a need for a cultural center in the south metro area, and now residents don’t need to travel to Denver to see professional theater and world-class entertainment,” Chandler said.
The Lone Tree Arts Center is located at 10075 Commons Street in Lone Tree. You can learn more by visiting www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000. See their 2016-2017 schedule on page 22> Visit us online at: www.spotlightmagazine.net

Arancini di Riso –
Sicilian Rice Balls By Chef Michelle Agnew
Arancini, a popular dish at Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant in Lone Tree, are aptly named because they resemble little oranges (“arancia” means “orange” in Italian and “arancini” is the diminutive). Simply called “rice balls” in many Italian-American delis and restaurants, arancini hail from Sicily, where they’re commonly served as bar snacks. They can be made with a variety of fillings, including cheese, prosciutto, meat sauce, peas, mushrooms, and other vegetables. Great to make when you have leftover risotto!
INGREDIENTS: RISOTTO • • • • • •
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 cups (15 oz) Arborio rice (the best rice to use is Carnaroli, but it may be hard to find) 4 oz white wine Approximately 30 oz chicken stock Salt 1 egg
FILLING • • •
Mozzarella, cut into 1/2” to 3/4” cubes Marinara or bolognese sauce (optional) Cooked peas (optional)
COATING • • • • •
All-purpose flour 2 eggs, beaten Breadcrumbs More tomato sauce, to serve (optional) Basil leaves, for garnish
1. Make the risotto by adding the rice to the heated oil in a large saute pan, and stirring quickly for one or two minutes. Quickly add the white wine while stirring. With the heat on medium high, begin adding the chicken stock a little at a time, and continuously stirring, until all the stock has been used and the rice is cooked, yet still al dente. 2. Taste; adding salt if necessary. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. 3. Add an egg to the risotto and mix well, then refrigerate for a few hours, or overnight.
DIRECTIONS: TO MAKE THE ARANCINI 1. Place some rice in your hand and flatten it into your cupped hand, but don’t make it too thin, or the filling will ooze out. 2. Place a piece of mozzarella, and/or a little tomato sauce (and peas, if using) in the center of the cupped rice. 3. Next, close the rice around the filling and shape into a ball. 4. If you’d like to make conical shapes, flatten the bottom of the ball, and make the top more pointed. 5. Now, roll the shaped arancini in flour, then, roll them in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. 6. Set aside until all of the rice has been used. 7. Heat some oil in a deep fryer, pot or wok until it is very hot. Add the arancini, and cook quickly, turning often so they don’t brown too much on one side. If serving immediately, fry for a few minutes, so the cheese will melt in the center. 8. If you’d like to serve them at a later time, remove them quickly after just browning; then, just before serving, place them on a baking sheet and re-heat in the oven at 400 F for 5 to 10 minutes. 9. Place them on a paper towel lined tray or plate and season with a little salt. You can serve it plain or with some marinara sauce and basil as garnish. (Makes about 12 to 16, depending on size)

One Family’s Sensational Journey By Rachel Whetstone
Lavicie glanced at Antonio, her face reflecting the same worry and asking the same questions she has had for so long: Why has Isabela been so late to sit, crawl, walk, and run – the milestones most other two year olds have already met? Why is her speech delayed? Why does she need to touch everything? Why does she have such trouble staying asleep? And how do they, her parents, help her?
From left to right: Antonio Longhi, father; Vincentia Ferrari, OTR/L; Isabela Longhi; Lavicie Rodrigues Arais, mother; Rachel Whetstone, Family Counselor May 26, 2016 • Photo Credit: Juay Cole
Isabela sat in the bright red, plastic chair just inside the door to STAR Institute’s sensory gym. Her lip trembled as she looked down at the floor, eyes welling with tears. “Isabela has been out of sorts lately,” her mother explained to Isabela’s occupational therapist, Vincentia Ferrari. Isabela pressed the palms of her hands together and then reached for her mother, both sure signs of distress. Isabela’s parents, Lavicie Arais and Antonio Longhi, looked concerned. They had traveled far, from Brazil, to bring their daughter to the STAR Institute for a month of treatment.
Lavicie and Antonio learned what many parents are learning about their children who are struggling in certain areas of their lives – Isabela has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Studies show that between 5 – 16 % of children are impacted by SPD. The term SPD often triggers thoughts of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or sensitivities to clothing – these associations are one small part of the picture of SPD. There are three specific subtypes of SPD: Sensory Modulation Disorder – which impacts our sensitivity or response to sensory input (think over or under reaction to input – for example, feeling overwhelmed when in crowded, noisy areas); Sensory-Based Motor Disorder – which impacts motor functioning and/or postural abilities (think having trouble being able to skip, ride a bike or sit still at a table); and Sensory Discrimination Disorder – which impacts our ability to make sense of and use the sensory information we take in (one example is falling down and getting hurt, but not being

able to identify where the pain is). Many children with SPD can also have issues with feeding. Children can have a combination of these challenges and they may or may not have Autism Spectrum Disorder or any other diagnosis besides SPD. The Star Institute sensory gym is full of color and fun – a slide, ball pit, swings, toppling blocks, plush crashing pads – but upon entering, Isabela immediately flopped on the mat, legs stiff. “Come on, Isabela,” her father coaxed, invitingly pushing the swing hanging ready for her. “Let’s swing!” Isabela allowed her father to help her up and place her in the swing. Isabela looked concerned as the swing started to move; she is not comfortable with movement over which she has no control. She finally broke out into a grin as her father pretended to be afraid her swing would knock him over. “Oh, no! I think she’s going to get me!” he said. A giggle escaped her lips as he flopped backwards, arms flying. The STAR Institute for Sensory Processing Disorder is a research and treatment facility located in Greenwood Village, Colorado. Founded and run by world-renowned occupational therapist, Dr. Lucy Jane Miller, the STAR Institute works with children of all ages who have sensory challenges. Occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, feeding therapists, family counselors, and clinical psychologists are all on staff to work with children and provide support for families as they learn about SPD and how to help their child. STAR Institute also has a flagship adult program, where adults who have sensory processing challenges can receive education and treatment. STAR Institute therapists use the principles of sensory integration, play, and engagement to facilitate development. It is Isabela’s last day at STAR. She smiles, looking up, as Vincentia helps her take off her shoes in the red plastic chair. In the gym, she glances up at her mother expectantly, ready to be placed in her favorite swing. Her parents take turns crashing to the mat dramatically as Isabela swings into them. Giggling, little Isabela indicates that she is ready for a new challenge. She climbs the steps to the ball pit, slowly, but on her own. Amazing! Just a short month ago, Isabela had a hard time with swinging movements and was reluctant to try new physical tasks on her own. At the end of this session, Isabela crawls into her mother’s arms, happy but exhausted. Though there is no cure for SPD, STAR therapies can help improve adaptive functioning – sensory-based therapies can help a person

improve her ability to have happy, healthy interactions at home, school and in other areas of her life. In the months following Isabela’s program, Lavicie and Antonio keep in touch with their STAR Institute therapists. They send pictures of Isabela, happily smiling for the camera in a STAR Institute T-shirt. And videos of Isabela taking on new physical challenges - she took off her socks! She kept trying to open a door even though it took her six times to get it! Isabela is continuing to make great progress. And her parents have continued to learn ways they can support their daughter at home. These remarkable parents are on a sensational journey of learning, adapting, and finding fun with their child.

N-Hance Wood Renewal:
Hassle-Free Cabinet Refinishing By Karen Carter
W
hen your wood cabinets in your kitchen or bathrooms start to show their age, it’s time to call the pros at N-Hance Wood Renewal. Founded in 1990, Denver N-Hance Wood Renewal led by owner Andy Rozo will work with you to identify how best to revitalize your cabinets. N-Hance options for cabinets vary widely. According to Rozo, many cabinets just need some attention. “Typically we see cabinets that have worn spots, faded areas, wear, or color loss,” he stated. “Some look dried out. We can fix all of that in just one day.” The special Classic Renewal process from N-Hance involves refinishing but no sanding. “We don’t sand down to the bare wood because we don’t have to,” Rozo said. He explained that his team prepares the wood surface first so specially formulated N-Hance stains and other proprietary products will bond with the cabinet. “Everything we use is green,” he added. “There’s no need to vacate the property. We also don’t create
Cabinet/Vanity Renewal
a big mess. While sanding cabinets can take at least a week, our process is a lot less time consuming and a lot less expensive than refacing or replacing.” Wish your cabinets were a different color? Then the N-Hance Cabinet Color Shift service might be the best way to go. Through this process, your cabinets’ wood color is warmed up a bit but the wood grain is left visible. More involved color changes or custom color finishes are also available. “We offer hundreds of color choices,” Rozo noted, “and can even change black cabinets to white in just a few days.” Rozo also noted that N-Hance, the largest wood finishing company in the country, not only offers a unique service in Denver but provides this service with the most professional results possible. “After 26 years in business, we try hard to deliver what we promise,” he said. “We want to continue to build on the good, healthy relationships we’ve established in our community.”
