board from the show. As for the fashion, guests will recollect exact scenes in which they saw Lady Mary (played by Michelle Dockery, on the cover), don an exquisite beaded dinner dress or the breathtaking lace creation that Lady Edith wore for her trip down the aisle. There are dozens of mannequins that showcase the garments worn by Mr. Carson, Mrs. Hughes, the Grantham family and some iconic outfits of guests to Downton Abbey. Sections of the exhibit also include in-depth character descriptions, old letters, photos and period inventions. “We felt it was crucial to give the fans something new to see, so the cast helped us put together the content, all of which was written by Julian,” said Burns, making note of the importance of having the experts who contributed to the series help with exhibit. “It has been brilliant. We had a gala opening and some members of the cast came. I think that it was such a wonderful experience in their lives that they love getting back together again. They’ve made an invaluable contribution to it.” The exhibition was recently extended until April 2, and Burns hopes (after it leaves New York), that it
tours for years to come. And whether you consider yourself a member of the Grantham family or have never seen Downton Abbey, Burns believes there is something for everyone. “I think there’s two types of people: if you’re a fan, there is no doubt you’re going to love the exhibition, especially the way it transports you from the bustling 21st century of midtown Manhattan back to the Edwardian era and into that house with all of those stories. Downton was such a warm series and beautifully written and shot. Fans will love reacquainting themselves with the characters and getting up close with the sets,” he said. “If you’re not a fan, I still think that period in English history was an extraordinary time. The backdrop of history was ever present: the sinking of the Titanic, the first world war, a period of huge innovations. We all need a break from the everyday and the challenges of 21st century life.” For tickets and more information, visit www. downtonexhibition.com or call 866-811-4111. The exhibition is located at 218 W 57th St., Manhattan, between Broadway and 7th Avenue.

elcome to Downton Abbey. If you find yourself in Hampshire, England, pop over to Highclere Castle, the famed and iconic house that is the setting for Downton Abbey. If you aren’t traveling across the pond, New York City will do nicely, as Downton Abbey: The Exhibition is a fashion and historical mecca for fans of the show. Although the Masterpiece series ended in 2015, fans have been eager for more Downton. “We knew we had a show that had captured the hearts of not just the U.K., but an international audience, in the U.S. particularly,” said Dominic Burns, SVP, Brand Management and Commercial for NBCU International Television. “By the end of series six, we had a very active social fan base of millions across the globe. We also knew that everyone was desperate for more Downton in whatever form we could provide them.” First came Downton Abbey merchandise, which included jewelry, books and elements for the home. Burns said the real inspiration came when a touring exhibition called Dressing Downton, comprised of 25 costumes, toured throughout small museums, resulting in record attendance and success. “We thought if we could do something bigger and better in a live space that would deliver a fantastic live experience,” said Burns of the exhibit, which took about two years to create. “Everyone has been incredibly supportive; creator Julian Fellowes and the cast...we couldn’t have done this without them.” Guests to Downton Abbey: The Exhibition will discover a world unlike any other, as Edwardian England is highlighted from the fashions, design and way of life. Burns and his team worked with the show’s art, costume and historical designers to ensure that Mrs. Patmore’s kitchen, the servant’s staircase and Lady Mary’s bedroom chambers were exact replicas from the hit series. Original props were used as well as items procured from antique fairs around the United Kingdom. The most iconic? The beautiful bell board, which is the actual bell

A Fruitful 2018 T DINING
he new year is here—and we all feel terrible about ourselves. We ate too many fatty foods on Christmas and imbibed too much booze on New Year’s Eve. We’ve been in close proximity to the children in our extended family at various gatherings, so chances are we are fighting off some terrible illness. We probably
also spent way too much money this holiday season and we most likely are still finding stray tree needles in the carpeting and along the baseboard. It is the perfect time for a resolution or two. But rather than spending more money that we don’t have on a gym membership that will almost certainly atrophy from lack of use, head to a local supermarket and bask in the weirdness and wonder of health-boosting winter fruits.
Carambolas
Kumquats
Better known as starfruit because of its star-shape when sliced, these exotic fruits are higher in vitamin C and potassium and lower in calories than most domestic fruits. Star fruit is also high in polyphenols, which lowers inflammation and, as such, is great for your heart. With a taste reminiscent of citrus, apple and pear, carambolas make for a unique addition to salads.
These tiny citrus fruits look like the product of an orange’s one-night-stand with a grape. With thin, edible skins, they are an astoundingly great source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. Just pop the entire fruit in your mouth—skin and all—for a sweet, sometimes tart, eye-opening experience. If you are so inclined, slice kumquats and add them to a salad or a roasted chicken dish.

Escape From Brooklyn
New York Islanders set to return to Long Island with new arena at Belmont BY STEVE MOSCO smosco@antonmediagroup.com
It’s official: The New York Islanders are skating back home. After about five seasons at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center plagued with bad ice, obstructed views and diminishing ticket sales, the team that originally called Nassau Coliseum home joined Governor Andrew Cuomo to announce a $1 billion redevelopment plan at Belmont Park to include a brand-new hockey arena. The Islanders won the bid over a local soccer club. “The Islanders are back where they belong,” said Cuomo at Belmont Park on Dec. 20, where he was joined by team owner Jon Ledecky, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, Long Island music legend Billy Joel and Islanders players John Tavares and Cal Clutterbuck. “When the Islanders left, they left a hole in the heart of Long Island. Today is a win-win-win for the community.” The project will feature an 18,000seat arena for the Islanders, a new 435,000-square-foot retail and entertainment complex, a new hotel and other community amenities. Cuomo also announced that the Long Island Rail Road will develop a plan to expand service to the Belmont Park Station for events year-round, adding that he expects the arena project to create 12,300 construction jobs and 3,100 permanent jobs. “With the state-of-the-art redevelopment of Belmont Park, we are adding a crown jewel to the economic resurgence on Long Island. The return of the Islanders is exciting for all fans, bringing the storied franchise back to its rightful home,” said Cuomo. “The creation of this entertainment destination will bring visitors from near and far, as we continue to transform the region and strengthen our economic momentum on Long Island.” As part of the Belmont Park arena deal, the Islanders will have a 49-year lease with renewal options, valued at $40 million for the full build-out. Local officials said the project would signal an economic boom for the

Elmont community, with Nassau County Executive-elect Laura Curran pledging to do her part on that end. “As county executive, I’ll make sure we work with the local community and stakeholders to make sure the area is developed with their input,” she said. “Economic development at Belmont will benefit all county taxpayers.” Officials expect the project to be completed in 2020, but as for where the Islanders will play during the construction process, Cuomo said that is entirely up to Bettman, who has gone on record as saying the Coliseum is “not a viable option” for the team. But as for the arena project, Bettman said, “If you are an Islanders fan or an Islanders player, you have a lot to be excited about.” While returning to the Coliseum for a short stay remains open for debate, team captain John Tavares echoed the sentiments of many fans in attendance who will gladly welcome the team back to the island of its origin. “The Islanders are called the Islanders for a reason,” he said. “This is really where the team belongs.”
Belmont Arena At A Glance Along with an NHL-ready arena that will serve as the permanent home of the New York Islanders, the Belmont mixed-use facility will host other major events, including concerts, college sports, conferences, family events and programming year-round. The project will also encompass:
Retail, Recreation and Dining
The redevelopment will include 435,000-square-feet of retail, recreation and hospitality space. The retail village will be composed of pedestrian boulevards and squares, lined with stores and boutiques occupied by international, regional and local brands. Dining and entertainment will range from sports bars to fine dining and prepared foods for take-away and will be enhanced by leisure and athletic activities, such as a boutique movie theatre and intimate live performance venues.
Community Recreation Area and Innovation Space
The project includes nearly six acres of outdoor recreation space and up to 10,000-square-feet of community space to be developed in consultation with the local community. The development will integrate the recreation area into
the Elmont neighborhood, as well as create a green corridor and bike path buffering the residential areas adjacent to the development.
Full-Service Hotel
The new 200-250 key, full-service hotel at Belmont Park will feature amenities, retail and dining options as well as conference and meeting spaces.
Gateway to Long Island
The complex will feature new signage, public art and landscape elements designed to foster a sense of identity and arrival with access points to the Belmont Long Island Rail Road platforms. The LIRR will develop a plan to modify service to accommodate New Yorkers for sporting and special events.
Parking
Additional parking will be developed to accommodate the increased traffic volume, including dedicated retail, hotel and arena parking located below the concourse level, as well as areas for ride-sharing, taxis and private shuttles. The pick-up and drop-off zones will be configured to maximize loading capacity and minimize queues without burdening local neighborhoods with additional traffic.

January Movie Previews BY CHERYL WADSWORTH editoriaL@antonmediagroup.com
J
anuary is here along with colder temperatures, harsher weather and a slew of resolutions to be fulfilled or broken. The New Year also brings new movies to choose from. Unfortunately, January typically releases movies which aren’t critically acclaimed and have much lower expectations in the box office. Reasons for this vary, but not having much chance for awards as critics have a short memory come next December, colder months, lack of funds after splurging for the holidays as well as too much competition from the holiday releases can all play a role in fewer hits this time of year. However, critics have been known to be wrong and hopefully the following previews will bring smiles to your faces and a warm retreat from the cold.
Maze Runner: The Death Cure (NR)
On Jan. 26, Maze Runner: The Death Cure opens. The film is based on the trilogy of books by James Dashner and is the direct sequel to Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials from 2015 and the last of the movies. Wes Ball directs with Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Dexter Darden starring. The main character, Thomas, finds himself leading his peers on their final maze, which will bring answers to anyone who comes out alive. A good action, dystopian-type movie but you really need to have read the books or seen the first two movies to understand fully what is going on.
The Commuter (PG-13)
Liam Neeson returns on Jan. 12 in The Commuter. Directed by Jaume ColletSerra the film also stars Vera Farmiga, Sam Neill and Patrick Wilson. Neeson is in a familiar role of a man who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and must save the day. A normal everyday commute turns into a deadly puzzle that must be solved timely or Neeson risks the death of himself and all the other passengers aboard the train. A non-stop action/ drama.

Spain Culture Via Educational Trek BY LYN DOBRIN speciaLsections@antonmediagroup.com
While I love seeing famous sights when traveling, the best part of a trip is spending time with local people and getting to know them. That opportunity came this summer when I participated in an English-immersion program for Spaniards called Vaughan Town, named for the founder Richard Vaughan. The town brings together Spaniards and native English speakers in an English-only environment for six days. We “Anglos” were there to provide conversation with the Spanish speakers, who already know some English. We paid for transportation, but our room and board was covered while we were in the program. We arrived in Spain a few days before we were

to meet in Madrid so we could explore the city and adjust to the time change. At the appointed day, we met our group at Vaughan Town headquarters and were whisked off to our site, a small village called Belmonte. The connecting began as soon as we stepped on the bus. I sat with Carmen, a young woman from Barcelona who is a design engineer at an automotive company. We chatted for the two hours it took to get to our hotel. Carmen said that although she felt her writing in English was good, her speaking needed to improve. We were 10 Spanish and 14 Anglos. The Spanish came from all over the country and the Anglos from places such as New York, Florida, Chicago, Wales, England, Ireland and Abu Dhabi. The six days were a combination of numerous one-on-ones, group presentations and lots of fun. My first one-on-one, however, was a disaster. My Spaniard, who shall remain nameless, told me he really needed to listen better and then proceeded to talk…and talk…and talk, in endless detail about his work. I tried to keep my eyes from glazing over. That encounter was the only difficult one and I am happy to report that by the end of the six days when he and I had another one-on-one that his nerves had calmed down, his English had improved a great deal and we were able to laugh about our first meeting. Belmonte is located in the La Mancha region. This is Don Quixote country and from our hotel we could see a castle on one hill and three windmills on another. We had chosen the Belmonte site from a few others partially based on the look of the hotel, and we weren’t disappointed. Palacio del Infante Don Juan Manuel Hotel Spa, originally a monastery, had
Madrid Belmonte
been cleverly renovated into a four-star establishment with marble floors, air conditioning and very comfortable beds, plus a swimming pool. Some of the original building was left in its crumbled state giving something of a feel of an archaeological site, particularly the corridor where we walked out to the pool. Angela Walmsley, from Lancashire, England, said she felt completely at ease from the
get-go. “The program is exceptionally well organized, expectations of participants are clear and the small team from Vaughan provided guidance, support and a wonderful energy throughout the week,” she said. Julian and Giovanna were our leaders. Julian, our emcee, kept us going with activities. He pulled four of us together to do a Monty Python skit. Another time

we were divided into groups and told to arrange ourselves as great moments in history and great paintings, taking photos to be viewed later. Howard, the head of the Civil Liberties Union in Florida, talked about American government and handed out copies of the Constitution. I taught a few Yiddish words that are essential for anyone coming to New York, such as schlep and chutzpah. Sabera, from London, led us in a values clarification exercise. Giovanna kept us organized and on schedule. When a group of Anglos, myself included, came back late for our one-on-one from an impromptu visit to the castle, she let us know she was not pleased. “But the taxi never came back for us,” we pleaded like naughty children. We loved getting to know both the Spanish and Anglos and at every meal sat with different people. Jacqueline and Julie were colleagues from Chicago, both teaching at the same middle school. Julie had been to previous Vaughan Town programs and Jackie joined her on this trip. “I would not have been courageous enough to do this on my own,” said Jackie, “it was my first time participating in a program like this.” For Jackie, this trip became more than an opportunity to experience another culture. “It changed my life,” she said. Just five weeks before, Jackie had undergone a bi-lateral mastectomy and up until the last minute was not sure if she would be able to make the trip. “This

was very healing for me—physically, spiritually and emotionally. I came back to the states a different person, and my friends commented on how healthy I looked and acted. The support I received from new friends—strangers prior to this—was amazing.” Carmen and I sat together again on the bus ride back to Madrid.
“What I found there in Belmonte was higher than what I was expecting...I could meet a lot of nice people with interesting lives and very good stories to tell and this helped me be motivated and immersed in the activity,” she said. “I could improve my listening and lose my fear to speak in public.” Mission accomplished.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No one can hurt you like your own expectations can. That’s why you’re trying to get better at the life-enhancing art and science of setting reasonable expectations. Your life is a grand experiment. Observe, make a guess about what will happen, and then test your prediction. If you get it wrong, just guess again.
Solution: 22 Letters
© 2018 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are already incredibly special so you don’t have to do anything outrageously impressive to be loved. Live like you have nothing to prove. Ordinary choices can make you happy. Even as you do the most down-to-earth thing, the infinite sky above embraces you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Teaching isn’t telling. People will forget what they hear, but they won’t forget what they were involved with. You have knowledge to impart this week, and the more immersive your lesson, the better your students will retain it. Also, don’t be afraid to stand back and let people learn some things for themselves. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re not gullible, but you’re very open-minded. Salespeople will sense this, and you’ll be pitched to often this week. It’s fun to be sold -- to believe that an item or an idea is going to change your life for the better -- and even more fun to be sold on something that’s affordable. Just hold out for what really works. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Excellent manners are your passport to the world. The civility you apply in this week’s dealings will command attention and inspire reciprocity. On a related note, before you get out your wallet, consider that luxurious things can also be free things. For instance, you’ll enjoy the finery of words and beautiful social gestures. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make note of your accomplishments and concerns in a journal. It will not only give you a sense of achievement, it will also clear your head so you don’t unload unnecessary data onto other people. Others don’t need to know the details of your world, but keeping track privately will be an essential habit for success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because what you say about others reveals much about you, you’re careful to keep your talk positive. This comes easily to you, but what’s more difficult is steering clear of other people’s less-complimentary narratives. Excusing yourself is always an option, and you won’t regret walking away from negativity. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be physically attuned to the world and to yourself. You’ll learn about people by watching them move. Bodies move according to the mind. Posture and social positioning will go hand in hand. Good posture begins with self-respect. Chin up, neck long, eye contact -this will lead to the making of a deal this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Avoid psychic leaning. You’re strong and getting stronger. The point is not to be a one-person show and handle the world without help. Rather, the aim is to be your best. It’s the same in sports as it is in life. The strong players are in the big leagues. The stronger you are, the better the team you’ll attract.

CONTRACT BRIDGE By Steve Becker
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are those who make the mistake of choosing an aloof air as a way of seeming better than others. It’s shortsighted, shallow and lazy. When you encounter such behavior, you’ll be rewarded for rising above the nonsense. Remain open and accommodating. Much good will come of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Feelings are a neutral form of information. There is nothing right about a feeling. There is nothing wrong about a feeling. This week, accept whatever feelings come up without judgment. From this neutral place, you can work with your emotions, taking the information they provide and using it to your advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you want someone to remember a number, you recite just the number that matters, not the entire numeric system. This is how you should approach all dealings this week. The temptation to overinstruct and overstate things will be strong. Resist! The simple, direct approach will work brilliantly.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
You’ll be refining an area of your life that’s already going moderately well. Your focus on making good things great will open opportunities in the next three months. A little daring action will stir up some magic. Your family will grow and there will be new things to appreciate in that realm, too. A different approach to health and well-being will offer fresh energy after the two-week mark. You’ll adventure in the outdoors. Somehow business deals will get made in recreational settings.

An Unusual First Date Plan For The New Year With Great Benefits It’s a new year and a new you. Perhaps this means finally asking out or going on a first date with that person you have been interested in. While many people, and perhaps our commons sense would suggest that a first date may involve drinks and/or dinner, I am here to dispel that idea entirely. Now you may be thinking, shouldn’t I be doing something more romantic like a candlelit dinner or walk in the park? Simply put, you are better doing an activity that can increase the physiological arousal level of your date.
Physiological Arousal and First Date
Misattribution of arousal is a situation in which a person mislabels the arousal (or alertness) they experience and associate it with something else. What this means is that we are sometimes inaccurate in interpreting the physiological cues of our own body. People who have a high level of arousal from an activity (such as exercise), who are around a potential partner, may attribute their feelings to love for that other person.

DINING from page 4A
Rambutans This is about as alien as fruit gets. Also appetizingly known as a hairy lychee, these tropical mouthfuls are packed with antioxidant flavonoids that might reduce the risk of chronic diseases and cardiovascular problems. Eating the hairy exterior is not recommended, so remove the outer layer before popping the rambutan into your mouth.
Persimmons Known in some circles as “Sharon fruit” and in others as “fruit of the gods,” persimmons are loaded with fiber and vitamins A and C. Look for persimmons that are glossy, bright and smooth without any unsightly bumps or cracks and definitely with the leaf still attached. Scoop out and eat the insides as you might a kiwi—or eat skin and all as you might with a kiwi if you’re into fuzzy textures.
Quinces These rounded yellow fruits masquerade as apples and pears, but they offer much more below the surface than those usual fruits. Quinces are high in anti-viral phenolic compounds that have been found to ward off the influenza virus, making them essential for winter eating and also a great alternative to the needle. Many believe quinces are best eaten cooked, so add them to slow-cooker stews or roasts. So if you want a beach body that doesn’t resemble a beach ball, start the new year with a bushel of winter fruits. Published by Anton Media Group KARL V. ANTON, JR.

Inspired by the Swedish King’s 18th-century visit to France, the Gustavian style is characterized by a winter whitewashed palette of bare floors, painted furniture and walls in hues of gray, white and pale blue. It’s a refreshing framework to a snowy landscape vista.

The subtle green base of Light Gray brings unsurpassed depth when used on walls, while Farrow & Ball’s mid-tone Off-White is an uncomplicated classic, great for woodwork. Inspired by the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, Pavilion Blue is the perfect complement for ceilings.
