SPRINGFIELD – Tim Yarnik, his wife and daughter were on their way to an outing in St. Louis and planned to visit his dad, who lives in Staunton, on the way there.
His dad, Art, who’s 87 years old and lives alone, wasn’t acting himself, and his forehead felt warm. They urged him to be tested for COVID-19. Two days later, he tested positive for the virus. His fever was 103 degrees. “We were frightened for him,” Yarnik said.
Tim Yarnik reached out to a friend, who told him about a new therapy that helped COVID-19 patients. When he called Memorial Health System’s respiratory clinic, the staff told him they had a 5 p.m. opening that day and stressed the importance of not waiting another day. Yarnik’s brother-in-law drove his dad to Springfield.
The new Biden administration could take action on the Colorado River that would go well beyond the president-elect’s term in office.
The week of Dec. 14, the seven states that are part of the Colorado River Compact began the first step for renegotiating guidelines that will decide how much water the three lower basin states and Mexico will get from Lake Mead, on the Arizona-Nevada border, and from Mead’s source, the Colorado River.
The guidelines are interim, signed in April 2007, and are due to expire in 2026. Among the most significant, the guidelines provide long-term stable management of the river and also determine the circumstances under which the Interior secretary could reduce the annual amount of water available from Lake Mead to the Colorado River lower basin states. The guidelines also are a way for the basin states to avoid litigation, part of what prompted the 2007 interim guidelines.

Classic architectural details that lend charm to a 100-year-old house can be a mixed blessing. “The beauty of Tudors is that there are lots of rooflines coming together,” says Kim Mitchell of KAM Design, in Larchmont. “But when you get to the interior, there’s a challenge with headroom and how the space functions.” For a master bath in this 1920s Larchmont home, Mitchell, Hanley Group Inc., and Dimovski Architecture worked all the angles to meet the homeowners’ wish list, turning a cramped closet into a chic shower stall and devising solutions to maximize space.
