Work is
progressing with water main and utility upgrades on the Highway 18 project in
Winner.
At the
bi-weekly construction meeting on June 13, Brad Norrid of the Winner Department
of Transportation office reported tentative plans are to have all the water
main installed by the end of the week.
Norrid
noted the contractor has been doing a good job, even working some nights, to
minimize the impact on motorists.
Starting
June 20 concrete paving started from South County Road to just before Taft St.
During this paving process there will be no access to any of the businesses on
the north side from the highway. This will allow for a continuous paving and a
better road surface in the end. Persons may use First Street to access
businesses.
Norrid
explained Reede Construction has contacted all the businesses in this area
where the concrete will be poured.
“The
continuous pour will eliminate blockouts, which is a gap in paving. This saves
time and makes the project go faster,” said Norrid.
A couple
of times during the public meeting, Norrid asked for the public to have patience
and drive carefully through the construction zone.
He also
asked the motorists to obey the speed limit because this area is very
congested.
Next
week the DOT and Reede Construction will start having weekly meetings on
Tuesdays at 11 a.m.

The Summer Rec program
is in its second week and the kids are keeping active and having fun.
The program started
June 5 this summer and is Monday-Friday from 9 am to noon. The activities and games start at nine with a
break halfway through and then they start up again after the break.
They start the day off
playing games on the tennis courts with a game going on each side of the nets.
These games are challenging giving the kids a sense of competition while being
around their friends.
During the break the
concession stand opens for the kids to get a snack and or drink and catch their
breath. The break allows for the kids to rest and get some fuel in their body,
so they are ready for the second half of the program.
After break they will
return to playing but this time in the outfield of McDonald’s Park. They will
finish playing in the field until it ends at noon.
Once the program is
over, they are able to go right over to the pool and even walk over to the
school to get lunch.
There are 85 kids
signed up this year which is around the average number since Covid. The ages of
the kids range from kindergarten to 8th grade.
Jaime Keiser runs the
program and has been since she started in 2010. The Winner High School
volleyball team helps with summer rec.
The goal of the
program is to keep the kids active and socializing with their friends. Another
goal is to teach them how to problem solve and resolve arguments in the safest
way they can.
The program will run
throughout the summer until July 14th.

Shirley Daughters, 78,
of Winner, SD passed away on Tuesday, June 13, 2023 at the Winner Regional
Nursing Home in Winner, SD.
Memorial service
was held on Monday, June 19, 2023 at 10
a.m. at the Ideal Presbyterian Church in Ideal, SD. Burial
followed in the Winner City Cemetery.
With heavy hearts, we
announce the passing of Shirley Marlene (Habeger) Daughters, a cherished soul
who graced our lives with her immense love for her family, zest for life, and
passion for the outdoors and art. Shirley peacefully departed this world on
June 13, 2023, leaving a legacy of cherished memories.
Born on July 29, 1944,
to Milton and Margaret Habeger in
Denver, Color., Shirley embarked on a remarkable journey embracing life with
unwavering enthusiasm and kindness. She lived a life that exemplified love,
compassion, and dedication to family. She moved to Ideal, South Dakota, in 1950
and on Aug. 19, 1962, Shirley joined in matrimony with Robert Daughters,
creating a bond that would withstand the test of time. Together, they raised
their two sons, Wade and Bruce, on their farm in Hamill, SD. As a family, they
enjoyed farming, hunting, and camping together. Shirley especially loved
herding and caring for the sheep on the farm and spending her free time as a
family fishing.
In her later years,
Shirley discovered a rare gift for capturing the essence of her experiences on
canvas. Art was the language Shirley used to express her vibrant spirit. Her
brushstrokes danced with vivid colors, breathing life into breathtaking scenes
around her. Her artwork not only adorned the walls of her home and the homes of
her family, but they also served as a testament to her ability to convey the
awe and wonder she felt from the landscapes around her and her deep love for
her family.
The family was the
cornerstone of Shirley’s life and her love and devotion knew no bounds. As a
wife, mother, and grandmother, she stood as a pillar of strength and support,
her unwavering love providing a safe harbor in times of joy and sorrow. Shirley
was a constant source of love, support, and guidance throughout the lives of
her children and grandchildren. Her family was her greatest source of pride and
joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
As we bid farewell to
this extraordinary woman, we find solace in knowing that her legacy lives on in
the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her. Though her physical presence
may be gone, her love for the outdoors, camping, art, family, and farm life
will forever inspire us to embrace the wonders around us. Shirley will be
greatly missed by her loving spouse Bob, her children Wade (Linda) Daughters
and Bruce (Amanda) Daughters, grandchildren Seth (Danielle) Daughters, Dalton
(Taylor) Daughters, Jordan (Amber) Daughters, Ashley (Matt) Weisser, Haley
(Hunter) Wood, and seven great-grandchildren Braylee, Jones, Lincoln, Piper,
Carson, Hazel, and Heston. Sister Beulah
Dewes, Rapid City SD.
Shirley was preceded
in death by her parents, Milton and Margaret Habeger, brothers, Larry Habeger,
Royce Habeger, Nephew Bradley Dewes.
Shirley’s legacy will
forever be etched in our minds, and your love will continue to guide us through
life’s journey. May you find eternal peace beneath the starlit sky you adored
and in the fertile soil of everlasting tranquility.
