Dog grooming business damaged during Friday morning storm in Audubon County

April 22nd, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Audubon, Iowa) – The owner of a dog grooming business in rural Audubon said on social media this (Friday) morning, that her day did not get off to a good start. Risa Rugaard, owner of In The Dog House Boarding and Grooming, said “We had quite a bit of damage,” from the storms that blew through at around 6:30-a.m.

The event happened “really quick and really loud.” The roof of she and her husband Kevin’s business was torn-off and tossed about, but neither Risa nor any of the animals were injured. There were no warnings issued for Audubon County. The whole thing took her and Kevin by surprise.

The wind event apparently took on a straight-line through their property.

It was there and gone quickly, but during the time it occurred, the roof damage the wind caused was extensive, and it’s unclear how long it will take to fix. Adding insult to injury, was the rain that was falling inside the building, with the roof having been peeled away. The couple have owned the dog grooming and boarding business for three-years (2019). Risa has been grooming animals for more than 30-years.

No injuries after motorcycle/deer – semi tractor trailer accident in Union County

News

April 22nd, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Creston, Iowa) – The Union County Sheriff’s Office says no injuries were reported following an accident Thursday morning. Authorities say a 2022 Harley Davidson motorcycle operated by 37-year-old Daniel L. Koch, of West Des Moines, was traveling east on Highway 34 at around 8:10-a.m., when a deer ran into the side of the motorcycle. Koch lost control of the cycle, causing it to skid into the path of a 2010 Kenworth semi driven by 44-year-old Steven Robertson, of Rake, Iowa.

The tractor-trailer ran over the motorcycle, totaling the machine ($15,000 value). The semi sustained a bent front bumper that tore a chunk of rubber out of the left front tire, causing it to lose air. The semi, registered to Kuchenbecker Excavating, Inc., of Rake, sustained $2,000 damage. There were no citations issued.

Iowa running backs coach Ladell Betts says the competition between the Iowa and defense this spring has gotten heated at times. The Hawkeyes close out spring drills Saturday morning with an open practice in Kinnick Stadium.

Betts likes the way the offense has competed in practice.

There is a different look at running back. With Tyler Goodson leaving early to pursue an NFL career sophomores Gavin Williams and LeShon Williams are the featured backs. That duo combined for 140 yards of rushing in a Citrus Bowl loss to Kentucky.

LeShon Williams says the Citrus Bowl experience was a plus for both.
