News of Record By KELBY WINGERT [email protected] DOWS — The Iowa Division of Crim- inal Investigation is assisting the Wright County Sheriff’s Office in investigating a homicide in Dows. According to a press release from the WCSO, an unresponsive male was report- ed at 305 Park Ave. in Dows on Tues- day. First responders arrived and notified the WCSO of the unattended death. The Wright County Medical Examiner and DCI were called in to assist. The deceased male was identified as Mario Salvador Lopez. Authorities did not release his age. Lopez’s body was sent to the Iowa Med- ical Examiner in Ankeny for autopsy. Af- ter the autopsy, Lopez’s death was listed as a homicide. The WCSO and DCI are continuing to investigate the death and ask that anyone with information about the incident or any- one who knows Lopez or had contact with him call the WCSO at 515-532-3722. No other information was available as of Thursday evening. By KELBY WINGERT [email protected] A Fort Dodge man is in hot water after police say he broke windows at Fort Dodge Middle School early Thursday morning. According to the criminal complaint, at approximately 5:45 a.m. Thursday, of- ficers were dispatched to FDMS for a re- port of a suspicious male. While at the scene, they found Daniel Dean Cormeny, 34, on the property and found windows at the school that had been broken out. The criminal complaint did not specify which windows or how many had been damaged, but estimated the damage to be more than $1,500 and less than $10,000. While officers attempted to place Cor- meny in handcuffs, he began resisting and was taken to the ground. He then kicked Officer Keegun Marsh, causing an abra- sion to his left knee. Cormeny is charged with second-degree criminal mischief, a Class D felony; assault on persons in certain occupations causing bodily injury, an aggravated misdemean- or; and interference with official acts caus- ing bodily injury, a serious misdemeanor. Cormeny will have his initial appear- ance in Webster County Magistrate Court this morning.

Investigators said Nohema Graber, a 66-year-old Spanish teacher at Fairfield High School, was reported missing on Tuesday and her remains were found lat- er that day at the Chautauqua Park in Fairfield, located about 95 miles south- east of Des Moines, The Ottumwa Cou- rier reported. The city has a population of about 9,400 people. Willard Noble Chaiden Miller and Jer- emy Everett Goodale, both students at the school, have been charged as adults with first-degree homicide and conspir- acy to commit first-degree homicide, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Depart- ment said. Court documents filed Thursday from their initial appearance in court indicate they did not yet have attorneys. Both ap- peared via video conference. Magistrate Stephan Small ordered a state public de- fender to represent Goodale. Documents said Miller did not request a court-ap- pointed attorney and it wasn’t immedi- ately clear who would represent him. According to court filings made public Thursday afternoon, Graber suffered “in- flicted trauma to the head.” Her body was found concealed under a tarp, wheelbar- row and railroad ties at the park, where she frequently walked in the afternoons. Police received a tip that Goodale posted details about planning the killing and a possible motive on social media, according to court documents. The court filings did not detail the possible motive. A search warrant at the suspects’ homes uncovered clothing items that ap- peared to have blood on them, police said. Graber taught Spanish classes at Fair- field High School since 2012. She previ- ously taught in the Ottumwa Community School District. Fairfield students were dismissed from classes Thursday and all classes on Fri- day were canceled, the district said. 2 students charged with homicide in death of Iowa teacher Biden administration sues Texas over voting restrictions AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Biden ad- ministration on Thursday sued Texas over new election laws that outlasted a summer of dramatic protests by Democrats, who re- main unable in Congress to pass legislation they say is needed to counteract a year of Republicans adding restrictive voting mea- sures nationwide. The lawsuit does not go after the en- tirety of a sweeping bill signed in Sep- tember by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas, which already has some of the nation’s toughest voting rules. Instead, the challenge filed in a San Antonio fed- eral court targets provisions surrounding mail-in voting requirements and voter as- sistance, which the Justice Department ar- gues violate federal civil rights protections. It now puts two of the Texas GOP’s biggest conservative victories this year in court against the federal government, as the Justice Department is simultaneous- ly trying to stop a new Texas law that has banned most abortions since September. “Our democracy depends on the right of eligible voters to cast a ballot and to have that ballot counted,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said. ”The Justice Depart- ment will continue to use all the authorities at its disposal to protect this fundamental pillar of our society.” Georgia’s new voting laws also drew a lawsuit this summer from the Biden ad- ministration, which is under pressure from the Democratic base to take greater action on voting rights, a top priority for the party ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. But time is running out and Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked federal legislation to change election laws, including another attempt Wednesday. US mandates vaccines or tests for big companies by Jan. 4 Tens of millions of Americans who work at companies with 100 or more em- ployees will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 4 or get test- ed for the virus weekly under government rules issued Thursday. The new requirements are the Biden ad- ministration’s boldest move yet to per- suade reluctant Americans to finally get a vaccine that has been widely available for months — or face financial consequenc- es. If successful, administration officials believe it will go a long way toward end- ing a pandemic that has killed more than 750,000 Americans. First previewed by President Joe Biden in September, the requirements will ap- ply to about 84 million workers at medi- um and large businesses, although it is not clear how many of those employees are un- vaccinated. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations will force the companies to require that unvaccinated workers test negative for COVID-19 at least once a week and wear a mask while in the workplace. OSHA left open the possibility of ex- panding the requirement to smaller busi- nesses. It asked for public comment on whether employers with fewer than 100 employees could handle vaccination or testing programs. Biden’s big bill on brink of House votes, but fights remain WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats in the House appear on the verge of ad- vancing President Joe Biden’s $1.85 tril- lion-and-growing domestic policy pack- age alongside a companion $1 trillion in- frastructure bill in what would be a dramat- ic political accomplishment — if they can push it to passage. The House scrapped votes late Thurs- day but will be back at it early Friday, and White House officials worked the phones to lock in support for the president’s sig- nature proposal. After months of negotia- tions, House passage of the big bill would be a crucial step, sending to the Senate Biden’s ambitious effort to expand health care, child care and other social services for countless Americans and deliver the nation’s biggest investment yet to fight cli- mate change. Alongside the slimmer roads-bridg- es-and-broadband package, it adds up to Biden’s answer to his campaign promise to rebuild the country from the COVID-19 crisis and confront a changing economy. But they’re not there yet. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi worked fu- riously into the night at the Capitol Thurs- day and kept the House late to shore up votes. The party has been here before, an- other politically messy day like many be- fore that are being blamed for the Demo- crats’ dismal showing in this week’s elec- tions. On and off Capitol Hill, party lead- ers declared it’s time for Congress to deliv- er on Biden’s agenda. 2 dead in dramatic shootout near upscale Mexican resorts MEXICO CITY (AP) — A commando of drug gang gunmen on Thursday stormed ashore at a beach on Mexico’s resort-stud- ded Caribbean coast in front of luxury ho- tels and executed two drug dealers from a rival gang. The dramatic shooting attack sent tour- ists scrambling for cover at the resort of Puerto Morelos, just south of Cancun. The two suspected drug dealers killed Thursday had apparently arrived at the beach in front of the Azul Beach Resort and the Hyatt Ziva Riviera Cancun earli- er in the day, claiming it was now their ter- ritory. “About 15 people arrived on the beach to assassinate two men who had showed up saying they were the new dealers in the ar- ea,” the head prosecutor of Quintana Roo state, Oscar Montes de Oca, told the Radio Formula station.
