calls. Those calls have included scenarios
such as that involving a teenager whose arm
accidently became snared in a farm’s thrasher
(the device used to separate seeds and grains
from husks and straw). Though he lost a
limb, Alstar saw to it that his life was saved
and staff would later be at his side during a
ceremony where the young man earned his
Eagle Scout Badge. There’s also the case in-
volving a man who suffered a stroke, but was
sustained throughout the medevac service
that saw him delivered to a stroke specialist
in Buffalo. Executive Director Dave Thomas
