cientists believe that the oldest star in the known universe is around 13.8 billion years old and only 7,500 light years away from Earth.

You don’t need to go that far to find inspiration in the stars. The Liberty Holiday Star, located on Youngs Hill a few miles outside of town, may only be 50 years old but it’s brought joy to countless people throughout that time.

It all started back in 1967 when New York State Trooper Richard Van Alstyne nailed some boards together to create a five-sided Christmas star measuring 24 feet from point to point.

With the help of Chester Slater and his friends at the New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) company, the Liberty star has been making the holiday season a little brighter ever since.

A 50-year anniversary ceremony was held at the Liberty High School on December 1 marking this momentous occasion. Organized by the Van Alstyne and Johnstone families, as well as the Spirit of Liberty - a group dedicated to championing volunteerism and community revitalization, the evening was a warm moment at the beginning of the holiday season for friends and family to

Liberty Star shines bright 50 years later reminisce on years past.

“My father was a larger than life figure,” said Chris Van Alstyne. “He was a very gifted carpenter who loved to build things.”

When Richard Van Alstyne became ill in the 1970s, from Lou Gehrig’s disease, he could no longer maintain the

star like he had in previous years.

Friends Linda Bult and Barbara burns stepped up to carry on the tradition.

“I’ve always heard folks say that life is cyclic in nature. If you wait around long enough, things will come back full circle, and you should count

Chris Van Alstyne delivered a moving presentation about his father, New York State Trooper Richard Van Alstyne, who finished the star in 1967.

yourself lucky if you’re there to witness it,” Tim Bult said, speaking about his mother’s involvement in maintaining the star. “Here we are, 50 years later.”

Bult said his childhood home sat at the base of Youngs Hill, adjacent to the Van Alstyne property. Bult has fond memories of his mother driving him up Youngs Hill on a snowmobile each winter to see the lighting of the star.

Lately the task preserving the star has fallen to another New York State Trooper family. The Johnstones have been involved with the Liberty Star for years, and the tradition is carried on to this day by Troy Johnstone and his father Steve.

“The star has always been a part of my life,” Troy Johnstone said. “I am one of the lucky ones who can sit in my house and see it lit up at Christmas time.”

Johnstone no longer has to climb a ladder to change the star’s light bulbs.

Recently Ross Electric loaned a bucket truck to help get the star in shape for its 50th birthday.

“It’s not something that I or anyone else in the community considers to be a chore or a burden,” Johnstone explained. “Liberty is proud of the star, and I know that I’m proud to be a steward to continue this tradition.”

Another add on gift that will make a ELJ GLŕľľHUHQFH LQ WKH WUDQVLWLRQ DQG GHcrease the chances of a pet being surrendered is professional training. According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP) 96 percent of dogs surrendered had no formal obedience training. Gifting training will almost certainly ensure the animal will never be relinquished for behavior issues.

Do not gift a pet to a child without involving their parents in the decision making process.

Do not resort to gifting a pet as a last minute decision. Animals require a lot of responsibility and can cost thousands of dollars a year, and so the decision should not be rushed.

Don’t forget that even the little ones need a proper habitat and a good exercise option. Smaller doesn’t always equal easier.

If the idea of gifting a pet sprang from the receivers deep love of animals, another option is to make a donation to a rescue in that person’s name.

It’s always Christmas at Maplehorst Farm Nursery STORY AND PHOTOS BY MATT SHORTALL

E

very year across the United States, millions of families visit local farms to cut down a Christmas tree that will grace their house throughout the holiday season.

Here in Sullivan County, MapleHorst Farm Nursery on Rapp Road outside of Monticello has been in the Christmas tree business for four generations.

John Rapp owns and operates Maplehorst with his son and daughter. John’s grandfather,

George Rapp, started Maplehorst farm in the late 1920s after moving to the area from New York City.

George Rapp started out by collecting local fauna - native Moun-

tain Laurels, Rhododendrons, and Hemlocks.

From these humble beginnings, George Rapp started a nursery and a landscaping business.

“My grandfather originally started growing Christmas trees as something to keep the landscape helpers busy,” said Rapp.

The Rapps started out growing Scotch Pine trees, because they were the first farm-grown trees and were more dense than the wild trees grown in Canada.

Today, Maplehorst

grows Fraser Fir, Balsam Fir, Blue Spruce and Canaan Fir trees.

Fraser Fir, named for John Fraser (1750-1811), a Scot botanist who explored the southern Appalachian Mountains in the late 18th century, are the most popular choice as Christmas Trees.

Growing the perfect Christmas tree requires time and patience. “The trees are five year transplants when we get them, and it takes about seven to ten years before they’re fully grown,” said Rapp.

This 40-acre farm supports about 1200 Christmas trees per acre.

When it comes to buying a Christmas tree this season, some families opt for the artificial trees, but CONTINUED ON 14G

cutting down a real tree at a Christmas tree farm is far more environmentally friendly.

“Not only are they a renewable and biodegradable resource, but real trees are much less of a fire hazard than the artificial trees,” Rapp explained.

“We recommend you put a

saucer of water under the tree stump to help keep it hydrated and fresh, that will reduce the number of pine needles it sheds and a hydrated tree is very unlikely to catch fire.”

When you’re growing such a large quantity of Christmas trees in such a relatively small area, you have to contend with the rest of nature.

Deer can be a real problem for the Rapps.

Given the opportunity, a deer will eat a young tree down to a pencil-sized stem. The Rapps have electrified fencing that runs the perimeter of their property to ward off any unwanted diners.

While Maplehorst is careful to keep the deer out, they’re very accommodating to their customers. You can hike out into a forest of Christmas

trees and cut down your own, or you can choose one of the fully prepared trees from their lot.

Maplehorst’s friendly staff will bundle your tree for transport and help you load it onto your vehicle.

Once you’ve got your perfect Christmas tree, browse through the Maplehorst Christmas shoppe fea-

turing countless ornaments and homemade Christmas wreaths.

The walls are decorated with antique flyer sleds and hundreds of holiday nicknacks.

“We think about Christmas all year long,” said John Rapp Jr.

he Sullivan County Community Chorus, under the direction of Conductor Kevin Giroux, will perform its 41st Annual Winter Concert on Sunday, December 10 at 2:30 p.m. at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 6317 Route 42, Woodbourne.

Conductor Girouxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme for the winter concert is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choral Snowflakes.â&#x20AC;?

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two singers, or compositions are the same.

Snowflakes gathered together can produce some mighty storms, or mighty performances. The concert selections include: energetic and rousing African â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noels,â&#x20AC;? the powerful 20th century classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ave Maria,â&#x20AC;? by Franz Biebl, arrangements of seasonal classics by John Rutter and AndrĂŠ Thomas, as well as the majestic baroque glory of Bachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Magnificat in D,â&#x20AC;? accompanied by Chamber Orchestra. The performance will also feature guest performers, and the Sul-

APPAREL:

livan Chamber Singers, selected by audition from the chorus.

The Sullivan County Community Chorus consists of members from throughout Sullivan County, whose ages range from 16 to over 80 years of age. Performances of the Sullivan County Community Chorus are made possible in part with funds from the Sullivan County Decentralization Program, a re-grant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, administered by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.

In appreciation of the 41 years of support from the community, there will be no admission charged; however, free will donations will be graciously accepted. Immediately following the performance, there will be a reception open to all attending the concert. In case of inclement weather, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;snow dateâ&#x20AC;? will be Sunday, December 17 at 2:30 p.m. For further information contact Diane Foster at (845) 439-4458.
