06 Broadcaster Press July 24, 2012 www.broadcasteronline.com 113-year-old South Dakotan named ‘Centenarian of the Year’ South Dakota Health Care Association (SDHCA), in conjunction with KELOLAND Television, is honored to announce that Beryl Kapaun of Salem has been named the “2012 Centenarian of the Year.” Beryl celebrated her 113th birthday in June. This recognition is a four-peat for Beryl as she has remained the oldest living South Dakotan for the past four years earning the honor. According to Century Club records, Beryl Kapaun, a current resident at the Golden LivingCenter in Salem, born June 4, 1899, is the oldest living South Dakotan! Beryl lived on her own in an apartment until she was 104 years old. As a child, her BERYL KAPAUN family moved around the country frequently, as her mother had bronchial conditions that required moving to warmer climates during the harsh South Dakota winters. Beryl graduated from Brookings High School and took business courses at Brookings State College and Sioux Falls Business College.

She worked in offices around the area and in Colorado as a stenographer for a large fruit-growing company. She later returned to the family farm near Montrose to care for her parents, where she stayed until the 1990’s when she then moved into Montrose. Beryl credits her longevity to genes in the family, her clean living and never overeating at meals! Beryl comments however that she is surprised that she has lived as long as she has because there were two times that stand out in her mind that she was given up for dead! Once she had pleural pneumonia and fell into a deep sleep and her family thought she had died. The other time was when she had something she calls “Slow Fever.” She was sick for so long that the doctor gave up on going out to see her!” Although Beryl never married, she has many nieces and nephews. She takes great pride in her accomplishment of being the oldest living South Dakotan. “Congratulations Beryl, for over 113 years of contributions to so many lives,” stated LuAnn Severson, Century Club Coordinator. “A special SDHCA Centenarian of the Year certificate will be presented to Beryl for reaching this milestone and acknowledging our Centenarians have touched the lives of others for over 10 decades.” The Century Club is NEW! $ #6035 Was: $25,590 D SOL Massage By Wendy Wendy McNear, LMT NOW OPEN IN VERMILLION 26 East Cherry in the Family First Chiropractic Building 1 Hour/$35 • 1/2 Hour/$20 Call for Appt. 605-624-9483 • Gift Certificates Available — Thad & Alex Manning — Complete Lawn Care Offering: Aerating, Power Raking, Fertilizing Plus grass clipping pickup (605) 624-9347 or (605) 670-2113 3.6L, Touch Screen, Moonroof Call For An Estimate SPECIALIZING IN Commercial GPS Tiling • Ditch Cleaning Site Preparation • Land Reclamation Randy Namminga - 47519 288th St. Beresford, SD 57004 Your Summer Savings Start Right Here! 20,997* $ #6087 EVENT WAS: $24,220 21,249* $ #6064 NEW! 24,493* 2012 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 NEW! $ #6012 WAS: $46,035 38,993* 2720 Broadway Ave., Yankton, SD (605) 665-8033 • 866-268-9514 NEW! $ #6067 4x4, 5.7L, Short Box WAS: $31,330 25,929* 2012 Jeep Patriot Latitude NEW!
