SD Air National Guard Announces Airmen Of The Year By Tech. Sgt. Abbey Rotter 114th Fighter Wing Public Affairs SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - The South Dakota Air National Guard is pleased to announce its outstanding Airmen of the Year for 2015. Four Airmen from the 114th Fighter Wing were selected as the First Sergeant, Senior Noncommissioned Officer, Noncommissioned Officer and Airman of the Year. The recipients were chosen based on their leadership, job performance, personal achievements and adherence to the U.S. Air Force core values: integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. Master Sgt. Justin Rey, of Sioux Falls, was selected as the First Sergeant of the Year. Rey is the first sergeant for the 114th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and Maintenance Group. He originally joined the National Guard for the education benefits, but has stayed for 20 years because of the patriotic duty and the fellow Airmen serving alongside him. "I am honored to be recognized along with such great Airmen," said Rey. "I consider this a testament to those that have mentored and coached me along the way." In the civilian sector, Rey works as the director of human resources and senior vice president with Heritage Bank. Rey wants to continue to serve, teach and mentor Airmen within the unit, and said, "Put yourself out there. Do your best every day to perform at a high level and continue to improve." Master Sgt. Elizabeth Johnson was selected as the Senior Noncommissioned Officer of the Year. Johnson grew up in Hartford and is a member of the 114th Medical Group. She was intrigued by the SDANG because she wanted the opportunity to give back to her community. As a civilian, she works as a registered nurse at Prairie States Surgical Center. In the future, Johnson hopes to commission as on officer with the Medical Group. "I want other Airmen to know that this is their career, and they are responsible for making the most of it," said Johnson. "Do not wait for opportunities, seek them out." Technical Sgt. Jared Bowen, of Fordyce, Neb., was selected as the Noncommissioned Officer of the Year. He works with the 114th Maintenance Squadron as a quality assurance inspector. Bowen has served with the SDANG for 14 years and joined after 9/11 to serve his country after the attacks. "I am very proud to receive this honor," Bowen said. "I am grateful for all the support and mentorship that I have received over the years." Bowen works as a quality manager for Manitou Americas in Yankton, and said the experience he has gained from the military has provided him with a strong set of personal values and makes him a valuable asset in the civilian sector. "Airmen should never stop gaining knowledge," he said. "They should continue to gain experiences that will make them valuable to the organization." In the future, he wants to continue to meet the needs of the maintenance squadron and look for ways to improve the entire organization. Senior Airmen Amber Spade, of Dell Rapids, was selected as the Airman of the Year. For the past three years, Spade has been a member of the 114th Force Support Squadron. She joined the SDANG after seeing her best friend's accomplishments within the unit. "Her accomplishments really made me to push to achieve the same," said Spade. Spade said she has many family members who have also joined the military and is excited to follow in their footsteps. The 2015 Airmen of the Year will represent the 114th Fighter Wing as they compete against other Air National Guard members nationwide to determine the overall Air National Guard Airmen of the Year. Warning Signs That Your Pet is Getting Too Hot - and What to Do About It By Russ Daly, Professor SDSU Extension Veterinarian State Public Health Veterinarian This week's intense heat wave has many people reminding themselves about how to keep themselves safe from the heat and humidity - but people should consider those measures for their pets as well. Dogs and cats regulate their body temperature by means other than sweating. Dogs typically dissipate heat by panting, while cats do so through a variety of ways. When an animal gets hot, these processes work to maintain their normal 101-102 degrees Fahrenheit body temperature. When these processes have to work for a prolonged period of time, signs of heat stress can result. Signs of Heat Stress Heat stress signs serve as an alert to animal owners that their pet's body is working hard to cool itself down, and that more severe problems - such 1875 Livestock - Poultry as heat stroke - may result if help is not provided.

The state’s high court overturned an earlier decision by Circuit Judge Wally Eklund that had gone against Richard and Larayna Papousek of Quinn. They run a crop and livestock ranch and had a veterinarian examine eight to 10 of the dead cattle. The veterinarian, Jim McConaghy of Wall, determined the cause of death was drowning. The circuit judge had ruled in favor of DeSmet Farm Mutual Insurance Company of South Dakota. The Papouseks’ policy specifically covered drowning. The company argued the cattle hadn’t drowned because none of the 93 heifers was found in water. The circuit judge used a dictionary definition of drowning as “the deprivation of life by immersion in water or other liquid.” The Supreme Court in its decision said drowning wasn’t defined in the insurance policy and both sides offered “reasonable interpretations of the term.” The justices went on next to note: “Papouseks point out, however, that reasonable people understand that the hallmark of drowning is not the presence of water outside the body; rather, it is death caused by water or fluid within the body.” The justices decided they would “liberally” construe the meaning of drowning and focused on whether the Papouseks established that their cattle died from inhaling water. The veterinarian showed the cattle’s lungs were saturated with water their airways obstructed with foam from air trapped with water. He also found clear liquid in all airways and running from the cattle’s noses. The justices said: “Dr. McConaghy speculated that during the storm, the cattle inhaled large quantities of rain and then snow, resulting in a lack of oxygen and eventually cardiac arrest and death. “In Dr. McConaghy’s opinion, his findings indicated that the cattle “absolutely died due to drowning.” De Smet neither refuted Dr. McConaghy’s findings nor contradicted his opinion with competent evidence. “Indeed, De Smet proffered no evidence to the contrary,” the justices said in the 5-0 opinion written by Justice Janine Kern. Justice Glen Severson wrote a special concurring opinion in which he agreed with the result and disagreed the term drowning was ambiguous. “The term only became ambiguous when the circuit court added words from dictionary definitions to a clear term in the policy. The clear terms of the policy do not limit drowning to submersion in water,” Severson wrote. Justice Lori Wilbur joined Severson’s special concurrence. The Supreme Court’s decision sends the case back to Judge Eklund for a ruling to be made in the Papousek’s favor. The Atlas storm killed thousands of livestock with heavy rain and then snow Oct. 3-5, 2013, in western South Dakota. from heat stroke? Essentially, when an animal progresses from simply being hot to being sick, heat stroke is occurring. In heat stroke, the same signs of heat stress are present, but they progress. • The animal becomes restless leading to weakness and an inability to move. • They salivate excessively, which leads to dehydration and a dry mouth. • They may vomit or have diarrhea. The effects of heat stroke may progress to seizures, coma, and death. When heat stroke is suspected, owners should call their veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian will recommend steps to take while the animal is transported to the clinic. Some of these steps may include moving the animal to air conditioning, running cool water on the belly and underneath the limbs (but not submerging the dog in cold or icy water), and using rubbing alcohol on their paws to help dissipate the heat. Once at the veterinary clinic, IV fluids will be an important part of the treatment of heat stroke. respiratory problems will exhibit these signs at lower environmental temperatures than younger animals. Many pets enjoy the comfort of air-conditioned houses during heat waves, but they can be subjected to heat stress and stroke if they are walked or put through exertion outside during hot weather. Pets that spend most of their day inside and are not acclimated to hot weather are particularly vulnerable. Some things to consider: •Dogs should not be walked or jogged long distances during extreme hot weather. • Pets that spend time outside can find relief from heat by having a shady, breezy spot available during all times of the day. • Ample drinking water should always be readily available. Some animals enjoy having a kids' swimming pool or sprinkler nearby to cool themselves off. • An animal spending time outside during hot weather is not necessarily being subject to abuse.
