Authorities in Pottawattamie County are seeking tips from the public that might help them solve several burglaries which occurred late last week and over the weekend. The incidents took place between Sept. 26th and 29th. According to Sheriff’s officials, a car wash in Avoca was hit twice, once during the early morning hours of Sept. 26th, and again during the morning of Sept. 29th. The thief got away with some change during the first incident, but they were unsuccessful during their second attempt.
Last Friday, a burglary at an implement dealership in Macedonia resulted in the theft of more than three-dozen batteries. The incident occurred during the early morning hours. Surveillance video shows similar vehicles were present during the incidents, but it is very grainy and it’s not clear if the vehicle is actually the same one used by the suspect or suspects.
In addition, a restaurant in Walnut was broken into on Sept. 26th, with the culprit getting away with a bag of cash. A dollar amount of the loss is not available. And, a car wash in Minden was broken into on September 26th just before 6-a.m., but authorities were able to identify and arrest three subjects from that incident about 30 to 45 minutes after it occurred. No names have been released.

Republican Congressman Steve King says “good things” have happened after past showdowns between congress and previous presidents and Republicans in congress are “more unified” now that the government shutdown has actually happened. “I think there was something that was intimidating members, an unreasonable fear that they would be blamed if the clock ticked past midnight and so we’re past the witching hour,” King says, “and the roof hasn’t caved in. The sky hasn’t fallen and now I’m seeing Republicans dig back in and show more resolve, not less.”
According to King, there have been 17 government shutdowns since 1976, including the 1995 stalemate between congress and President Clinton that King says eventually yielded a balanced federal budget. “Good things do come from these kind of showdowns,” King says, “and we need to hold the line to that even more good can come from this.” Public opinion will resolve the impasse, according to King, who predicts the resolution will come sooner rather than later.”This isn’t going to go on for a long time,” King says. “The pressure builds every day and so each hour that goes by now brings us closer to a conclusion.”
King made his comments during a telephone conference call with reporters on Tuesday afternoon. Jim Mowrer — the Democrat who hopes to face King in the 2014 eleciton — held a news conference in Sioux City, saying the shutdown was “truly unacceptable.” Mowrer said King was “irresponsible and reckless” for “putting the economy at risk to advance his Tea Party political agenda.
