Authorities in Shenandoah and Red Oak have issued warnings about incidents of gas pump skimming. According to a press release, Red Oak Police found a card skimmer on a gas pump. And, the Shenandoah Police Department warned people to exercise caution when using a credit or debit card at the pump, even though no skimmers have been found in Shenandoah.
Authorities say the skimmers are almost impossible to spot. They recommend you use your card to pay at the store’s inside register, and check your bank/credit card statements often to make sure no extra charges have appeared on your account. If you notice any unusual charges, notify your bank or credit card company immediately.
Experts say skimmers look and act like installed gas pump card readers. They can be installed devices, invisible to staff and customers, which read details off credit and debit cards and can even secretly, film the keying of PIN numbers. The thief has to come back to the compromised machine to pick up the file containing all the stolen data, but with that information in hand they can create cloned cards or just break into bank accounts to steal money.
One way to determine if the gas pump has been compromised is if the security seal over the installed card reader is broken, or looks like it has been tampered with.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The Polk County Board of Supervisors is expected to form a task force Tuesday that will explore raising the minimum wage. Supervisor John Mauro told The Des Moines Register that, “Something has to change in order for the working people to survive.” But Supervisor Steve Van Oort says the minimum wage is not something county government should address.
In September Johnson County became the first Iowa community to increase the minimum wage above the national rate of $7.25 an hour. The county’s rate will rise in 95-cent increments until it reaches $10.10 in 2017. Cities inside the county have the option of passing an ordinance exempting them from the county rule. Linn County also is exploring the issue.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs’ appeal of anti-tampering violations has been denied by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, meaning Kansas City will forfeit its third-round draft pick this year and sixth-round pick next year. The club did have its fine reduced from $250,000 to $200,000 on Monday, while coach Andy Reid’s fine was reduced from $75,000 to $60,000.
Team owner Clark Hunt said in a statement the Chiefs “continue to believe that the facts of this case combined with the league’s inconsistent enforcement of its tampering policies do not warrant the most severe penalty for player-related tampering in league history.”
The violations stem from the Chiefs contacting then-free agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin when prohibited by NFL rules. Maclin, who had been drafted by Reid in Philadelphia, eventually signed with Kansas City.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — John Lackey struck out 11 in seven innings of four-hit ball against his former team and had an RBI single, leading the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 Monday night. Jayson Heyward, playing at Busch Stadium for the first time since leaving to sign with Chicago, was 0 for 4 at the plate, made two nice catches in right field and was booed throughout.
Dexter Fowler homered for the second time in three days for the Cubs, a major league-best 10-3 and off to their best start since 1970. Chicago has won 15 of its last 16 regular-season road games, going 6-1 this year.
