He was born in Pasadena, Calif., November 25, 1929, to Arthur John "Dick" Geisler and Vivian Christine (Petersen) Geisler. He lived with his parents and younger siblings, Roma and David, in Bell, Calif., where A.J. ran a feed store. During his childhood in Bell, John began a lifelong love of movies at the three local theaters where admission cost a dime. In February 1942, the metal rationing of World War II led to the closing of the store in Bell which had transitioned into selling the latest modern appliances. Leaving the land of sun and palm trees, the family moved to a farm in Blunt during a blizzard. In 1945, the Geisler family moved to Murdo to operate the John Deere and Chevrolet dealerships, the first of many businesses. For his high school education, John boarded at Northwestern Lutheran Academy in Mobridge. His college education was interrupted when he served his country as a cryptographer in Korea in the Army 1903rd Engineer/Aviation Battalion. After his honorable discharge from the Army in 1953, John collected antique cars from across the Midwest. His father told him, “John, you have to do something with those cars,” and in 1954 John, his father, Dick, and brother, Dave, opened the Pioneer Auto Museum with 25 cars on display in a single building. John eventually received his bachelor's degree from Concordia College in Seward, Neb. He held many jobs during his lifetime: service station attendant, copper mine employee, elementary school teacher, social worker, Pinkerton security guard, postal worker, pilot car driver and antique dealer. He most enjoyed his time in the Army and the years he spent exploring the Midwest on trips to locate antique cars for the museum. John married Betty (Fortier) Queen November 9, 1965, and gained a daughter, Cathie. Their daughter, Johanna, was born in November 1966. After attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota, John, Betty and the two girls moved to Murdo to be near family and the Pioneer Auto Museum. For many years, the family traveled around the United States. John was always on the lookout for antique cars and collectibles to add to the Pioneer Auto collection. In 1985, John and Betty returned to Murdo to live. John loved all sorts of entertainment and public exhibitions, attending canvas tent circuses and state fairs and concerts. He loved a good meal; any road trip would be planned around restaurants that could be visited along the way. John had a companion Beagle by his side for the last 35 years, the most recent being named Martin Luther. In 2002, John and Betty moved to Sioux Falls and later Valley Springs to be near their daughters and grandsons, and to have access to advanced medical care. Both John and Betty faced a number of health issues in the last decade. Starting in 2009, John went through several rounds of treatment for thyroid cancer. After a brief, acute illness in late December 2012, John entered the hospital and then the hospice program at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Sioux Falls. His family is grateful for the excellent care he received there. He passed away the morning of Monday, April 8, 2013. John had a strong, but quiet, lifetime relationship with his Lord and Savior. He was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church in Murdo and attended First Lutheran in Valley Springs. John is preceded in death by his parents, Arthur John "Dick" Geisler and Vivian Christine (Petersen) Geisler. John is survived by his wife of 47 years, Betty (Fortier) Geisler; daughters, Cathie (Johnnie) Littles of Sioux Falls, Johanna (Mark Dykstra) Geisler; grandsons, Corwin and Rune Dykstra of Valley Springs and Lee Littles of Sioux Falls; a sister, Roma Bunch, of Irvine, Calif.; a brother, David A. (Leila) Geisler of Murdo; nieces, Vivian (Jeff) Sonder, Patty (Donald) Tyus, Jennifer (Bryan) Kaiser, Lisa (Larry) Williams; and nephews, Eric (Janet) Staudenbaur and David M. (Ann) Geisler. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. (CT) on Saturday, April 27, at Messiah Lutheran Church, Murdo followed by interment at the Murdo Cemetery and lunch at Messiah Lutheran. Read John 14:1-3 The Bible is clear that those who trust in Jesus as their personal Savior will have eternal life. Furthermore, it promises that followers of God will spend eternity with Him in heaven. The New Testament contains approximately 200 references to heaven, most of which are from the teachings of Jesus Himself. Obviously, the topic was quite important to our Lord. Why, then, do we often fail to talk about it ourselves? Sadly, one reason we ignore the subject is that we simply feel too satisfied here on earth. Maybe we think we have it pretty good, whether because of a loving family, a stable job, or a nice home. Surrounded by such comfort, it can seem hard to imagine an even better place. Other people, however, do not have it so easy here on earth. They are the ones who most easily grasp the concept of heaven. They are the individuals who live their lives in need, nursing the belief that life beyond earth will supply all that they lack. You see, it is rarely our desperation that makes it difficult to envision our heavenly home. Rather, our success is oftentimes the greatest obstacle to a desire for the everlasting home where we truly belong. We can become so distracted by earthly things that we grow blind to the spiritual reality of eternal life. Why don’t we think more about heaven? Very simply, it is because many of us don’t want to go yet! What in your life might be obstructing the view of your heavenly home? Jesus has gone before us to prepare our eternal dwelling, and who would know how to fix a place to our liking better than our Creator? Don’t let anything dim your vision of the excellent future home awaiting you.

Her online guestbook is available at www.rushfuneralhome.com Linda Kramer___________________ Linda Kramer, age 67, of Philip, S.D., formerly Burlington, Iowa, died Saturday, April 6, 2013, at St. Joseph Hospital in Tucson, Ariz. She was born September 25, 1945 to Orville “Tim” and Mathilda “Tillie” Long. She was raised on a farm near Philip and confirmed at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Philip. As a young girl, she looked forward to finishing her daily chores so she could spend time with her sister, Sally, swim in the stock dams, fish and visit her many cousins. After graduating from Philip High School, she attended the American Business College in Rapid City and earned a degree in business administration. She married John “Jack” Still in 1967, who passed away in a plane crash in 1968. In June 1970, she married Danny Kramer in Davenport. During their careers, they had the opportunity to reside in a number of states, including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Washington and California. During her career, Linda achieved significant success in both banking and mortgage industries. Following retirement, Linda and Danny moved from Moorpark, Calif., to Burlington, Iowa. In 2007, they purchased a motor home so they could spend more time visiting family and friends around the country. In June 2012, they sold their home in Burlington to follow their dream of becoming fulltime RV’ers. In her retirement, Linda enjoyed reading, golfing, genealogy, water aerobics and coin collecting, but most of all she relished spending time with her five grandchildren, and as she put it, “making memories.” Grateful for having shared Linda’s life include her husband, Danny Kramer of Philip; her two sons, John (Tonya) Kramer of Philip and Jason (Penelope) Kramer of Corona, Calif.; five grandchildren, Coy, Corbin and Colden of Philip, and Kaylee and Zachery of Corona; a sister, Sally (Arthur) Campbell of Port Washington, Wisc.; and a host of other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Arnold; and her first husband. According to her wishes, her body has been cremated and memorials will follow in Iowa and South Dakota.

Belvidere News … April 18, 2013 • Kadoka Press • Page 3 Not all oranges are created equal. I learned this early in life since my mother thought I should start each day with a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice. She figured it would be helpful in promoting my health and well-being or some such thing. Most days this was fine. Other days, not so much. For one thing, not all oranges are naturally sweet and tasty. Some are a bit sour or dull. Then there are those that have so much pulp you almost need to eat the juice with a spoon instead of drinking it. Others have so many of those tiny little seeds that you are unlikely to get them all out short of using a strainer. This hasn’t changed much over the years, and buying oranges is still a tricky business. You’re never quite sure what you’re getting. That situation is similar in buying lots of other things. Apples are easier than oranges, but you still occasionally get “lemons.” Bananas, though, seem to all be fairly much the same. One is pretty much like another although eating them at just the right degree of ripeness can be hard to schedule. Meat, though, is often tough, literally, and hard to figure out. One knows that round steak is always going to need good strong teeth if you don’t cook it a long time, but other steaks vary a lot concerning tenderness and flavor. That’s one of the difficult things about life - trying to make wise decisions. This not only applies to things you buy, but to what you do to support yourself, what friends to have, and lots of other things. I didn’t have much trouble choosing an occupation since I was raised on a ranch and was the only son. My dad basically wanted me to take over when I grew up, and that was fine with me. I did have a chance to go on and make a career as an officer in the Navy since, to keep me from leaving when my time was up, they dangled a tasty carrot in front of me. This had to do with the promise of being assigned to the staff of a really weird admiral who was considered the father of the modern nuclear navy. It would probably have been a real plus in my record and a stepping stone to higher rank. Weighing that against ranching wasn’t much of a Winter Hours Monday - Thursday 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday & Saturday 9 a.m. to Midnight Sunday 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. 344-2210 ATM BELVIDERE BAR Belvidere Store 344-2277 Open Daily 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. 24/7 Credit Card Pumps Diesel • Gas Farm Fuel Pop • Snacks • Beer Starting case lot specials. Lookin’ Around by Syd Iwan Give and Take contest though. The rural life was what I wanted and what I chose. I have no regrets about that. I guess I never really set out to choose good friends. I was just naturally drawn to those who had interests similar to mine. Since I wasn’t exactly a party animal, neither were my friends. They just were those I somehow came to know and like. Relatives, of course, you can’t choose randomly. You’re just born with them. In some cases, that is just fine. Take my Aunt Bessie, for example. She was my mom’s sister from California and a real sweetheart. We got on extremely well together, and I even stayed with her for several months when I was stationed in California during my time in the Navy. Other relatives were mostly okay although a few were marginal. You couldn’t disown them, exactly, but you could choose how much to associate with them. Choosing business associates is also tricky. I have taken in cattle for people who just plain drove me nuts. They were never quite satisfied with your care of their livestock. If there wasn’t anything really wrong, they’d complain that the salt licks were getting low although they hadn’t really run out yet. Other guys would never quite live up to their part of the deal concerning payment for services rendered etc. Then there are those who just never give you any trouble and work out great. The latter is what we currently have, thank goodness. But, you know, we can only do our best. If we do that, we are apt to have few regrets. We can look at products or situations, think about them, maybe do a bit of research, give ourselves some time and not rush, pray a little, and hope for the best. I recently did some of that concerning the purchase of a bag of oranges. They looked and felt okay, were moderately priced, and subsequently came home with me. Now is crunch time. Guess I’ll go squeeze one or two and have some orange juice. It may be great or less so, but at least it will remind me of my dear old mama who squeezed a lot of oranges in her life for love of little old me. That’s worth quite a lot. Teach them while they are young, BankWest offers area students financal education BankWest strongly believes that an early understanding of personal finance basics can help children develop positive money habits that will stick with them through adulthood. Guided by the old adage, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” BankWest is offering area students a uniquefinancial education experience through the Teach Children to Save program. BankWest employees will partner with an area school to give savings education lessons. These out-of-the-box- lessons make learning about money fun for students and allow bankers to bring reality and learning together to help students understand the basic principles of using money wisely. It’s ironic: we have to pass a driver’s education course before we can get behind the wheel. But when it comes to learning about our finances, few of us get the training we need to manage money wisely. In 2008, 73.9 percent of students received a failing grade on a survey of personal finance knowledge administered by the Jump$tart Coalition®. The same survey found that some 25 percent of high school seniors don’t even have their own bank account. The Teach Children to Save program seeks to change this situation for the next generation of consumers. Teach Children to Save is a national campaign of volunteer bankers who since 1997 have helped young people devlelop lifelong savings habits. It includes an annual awareness day in April, Teach Children to Save Day; a video contest for teens, Lights, Camera, Save!; and the Teach Children to Save website: www.teachchildrentosave.com. Since the program began in 1997, bankers have helped millions of students across the nation to learn to manage their money more effectively. This year, many will return to the classroom to help fill the money-knowledge gap. Locally, BankWest employees, Sarah VanderMay and Belinda Mitchell, will be visiting Kadoka Area School’s Kindergarten through Eighth grade on Tuesday April 23 at 1:00 pm. For more information on the program, visit www.abaef.com and click on Teach Children to Save. BankWest feels that this is an important part of serving the local community and providing the tools to grow on. GATEWAY APARTMENTS 301 1st AVE.

Jim Addison picked up Betty Kusick last Sunday and the two went fishing with some success. Afterwards, they went to Jim’s where Jim cleaned all the fish and gave them to Betty. On Friday, Betty’s daughter, Loretta Schreiber, and her husband, Lawrence, came from Quinn. They brought goodies to snack on. On Saturday, Betty took in the open house at Hogen’s Hardware. She said a whole lot of other people had the same idea and the place was fairly crowded. Grady Davis celebrated his thirteenth birthday on the thirteenth with thirteen people in attendance. His birthday actually was the 9th which proved to be stormy and not great for major celebrations. On the 13th, though, people gathered at the Steakhouse in Philip. This included Grady’s folks, Chad and Francie, his brothers, Garrett and Gage, grandparents, Bob and Ruth Fortune, a great grandmother, Marian Nelson, uncle, aunt and cousin, Chuck, Eve and Abby Fortune, plus an Aunt Kay and an Uncle Tim. After supper, the group adjourned to the theatre where they watched “Oz” which was a decent movie and enjoyed by all. Earlier in the week, Chad couldn’t get to work a couple of days due to the winter storm, but things evened out later in the week. Davina Spoonemore flew south last weekend for her normal armyreserve drill. She first flew to Phoenix and caught a ride to El Paso with a friend. She had a car in El Paso, however, which she subsequently drove home. Daughter Keeghan didn’t go along, but boarded with Chad and Francie Davis and boys while Davina was gone. Greg and Dana Badure and children drove to Pierre last Monday to deal with their taxes. They were glad it was scheduled for Monday since Tuesday was a poor day to be on the roads if they were even open. Two new baby goats arrived last week at the Badure’s. Daughter Brisa officiated at the birth of one with the help of Tyrel Mansfield, and MaKaylan and McCoy Bonenberger who just came to see the goats but not particularly to see one born. Greg found out recently that the pain he’s been having in his hand is from gout which apparently can affect hands as well as feet. Diet adjustments and certain exercises may help. Lee Addison and Rhonda were snowed in a good bit of last week. They could feed and watch over the calving process, but getting to town was somewhat difficult. On Friday, neighbor Andy Schofield plowed them out so they went off to Murdo and visited Lee’s mom, Marie Addison. They took her some eggs and had a good visit. Larry and Joy Dolezal traveled to Milesville and Philip on Sunday morning where Larry preached at the Evangelical Free Church in both places. After lunch with friends, they attended the community play in Kadoka. It was called, “Wizard of Oz” and was somewhat smaller version of the orginal Wizard of Oz tale. Joy said that neighbors, John and Jamie Dolezal, didn’t go a lot of places last week. They were mostly content to stay at home, plowing snow and pulling calves. Larry, Jo, and Jenny Johnston were visited this weekend by Jo’s daughter, Cora Jo, of Rapid City, and her friend, Skye Barber. While here, Cora Jo and Skye help texture the basement walls in preparation for painting. Jo said their basement project has been going on for quite a while now but is getting closer to completion. Earlier in the week, Jenny got some days off from school due to the bad weather and poor roads. Rudy Reimann took in the gun show in Rapid City on Sunday. He said it was well attended. He didn’t buy anything, though. He just wandered through and looked. He said it never hurts to look just in case you might see something you need or might want to get in the future.

The next afternoon Susan and Heather took a calf with a broken leg to Kadoka to have it fixed. That same day Daniel made it to Martin for another physical therapy session and the sessions are helping him gain more mobility with his arm and shoulder. He was also able to brave the snowy roads during the stormy weather and get Susan to work at the Norris Post Office each day. They were able to save all the calves born during the stormy weather. Friday afternoon, they were in Martin for another round of therapy. Saturday afternoon Susan and Morgan visited at the Bruce Ring home. Last Sunday afternoon Jessie and Stephanie Ring and Ryan and Reina were in Mission running some errands and getting some shopping done, using up some Christmas gift cards. There was no school Tuesday and Wednesday at Long Valley, although they did have school Thursday and Friday. Saturday afternoon three members of the Norris Extension Club met at Jessie’s home to plan for the Area VII Spring meeting coming up in Norris on April 29. Linda Ring was unable to make it to work in Rosebud on Tuesday and Wednesday, but did work full days Thursday and Friday, and half a day Saturday. Beginning Monday Linda will be doing double duty, as after working her shift at Rosebud, she will go into Mission to work in the place of the a worker who was hit by a car while she was walking to work Tuesday morning, because her vehicle was snowed in. She suffered a broken arm and will be out of commission for a while. Linda stayed home Sunday and celebrated her birthday with her family. April 4, Richard and Noreen Krogman were in Rapid City, visiting the Dale McKee family. They returned home the next day. Richard did his best to try to get Noreen to work on Tuesday and Wednesday, but too many stuck vehicles defeated them. Finally, Thursday and Friday he was successful and Saturday Noreen braved the roads and made it on her own. Sunday afternoon Noreen joined the DNP quilters in Mission. Laurene Emery baked a cake for Rose Ruff’s birthday and shared it with the others. Alberta Allard gave June a ride in to Mission for the quilting session, and got in some work on the quilt she is making for Pam. She showed her completed sun bonnet girls quilt and another top she has almost finished for Cliff. The Mellette County Historical Society will meet at noon on Wednesday, April 17. The weather mechanism at West and Woodward’s showed well over an inch and a half of moisture in the snows measured there. Maxine Allard cleared enough of a path to get out to her building for potting soil, which she wanted for starting some tomato seeds in the house. She had a call from her stepson, Rick Ladegard, and his wife, Judy, informing her that they are planning a trip this summer and hope to visit her in August. Rev. Glenn Denke attended the SD District Spring conference for the ministers in Aberdeen Sunday through Friday. The conference lasted only through Wednesday, but closed highways kept them there until they left on Friday. Thursday Kenda Huber took her grandsons, Torry, Braeden and Bradley, with her to Martin and ran some errands there. The next day Bill, Kenda, David and Jonathan traveled to Rapid City, which had reported over twenty inches of snow. They felt that from the looks of things, that we got more snow than that. The previous weekend, Howard Heinert hauled manure for Simmons by Valentine. He was scheduled to haul more this past week, but the snowstorm put a stop to that. The Heinert’s did lose two calves during the storm, but they also had two sets of twin calves, so they shared with the cows who lost their calves, and they are now ‘even steven.’ Blake and Amy Lehman felt that there was over two inches of welcomed moisture in this snow. Julie Letellier came home Monday evening, April 8, as the storm was forecast and she wanted to be here to help with calving. Andrea Beckwith also helped Jim and Marjorie Letellier with calving and shoveling snow. They were here all week, although Andrea went to Norris School on Friday for the inservice. Friday evening Julie and Andrea headed for Rapid City to visit Sue and Marty Larson for the weekend. The tulips and daffodils that had been showing their leaves before the storm received a blanket of drifted snow that thoroughly buried them. However by Sunday afternoon, many of the leaves were poking through the melted snow and trying to straighten up and uncurl their leaves. Hang in there, Spring flowers!
