HOME INSPECTION TIPS FOR SELLERS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF GETTING YOUR HOME SOLD IS MAKING SURE THERE ARE NO DANGEROUS OR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS WAITING FOR THE NEW HOMEOWNERS. IT’S WORTH A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO MAKE SURE YOUR HOME IS IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AS YOU PREPARE FOR YOUR HOME INSPECTION. MAKE IMPORTANT AREAS ACCESSIBLE: THE HOME THE INSPECTOR WILL NEED ACCESS TO ALL AREAS OF YOUR HOME INCLUDING THE ATTIC, CRAWLSPACE, GARAGE SHED, AND ANY OTHER CLOSETS OR MECHANICAL AREAS. MAKE THEIR JOB EASIER BY MOVING ANY FURNITURE OR APPLIANCES THAT MIGHT PROHIBIT THEM FROM EASILY ENTERING THESE SPACES. IF THE INSPECTOR IS UNABLE TO ACCESS THESE AREAS, THEY MAY NEED TO RETURN FOR A SECOND INSPECTION. CHECK YOUR MAJOR SYSTEMS: IT’S WORTH GIVING YOUR MAJOR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS A CHECK BEFORE THE INSPECTION. TAKE A LOOK AT THE CONDITION AND FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR HVAC SYSTEM, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL OUTLETS AND SWITCHES INSIDE OF YOUR HOME, YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS, FOUNDATION, AND SIDING OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOME. MAKE FIXES, BIG AND SMALL: IF YOU FIND ANY ISSUES WITH YOUR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS, TAKE CARE OF THEM PRIOR TO THE HOME INSPECTION. IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME OR FUNDS TO FIX THE PROBLEMS, YOU MAY HAVE TO NEGOTIATE THE REPAIRS WITH THE BUYERS. GET YOUR PAPERWORK IN ORDER: IF YOU’VE MADE REPAIRS AROUND THE HOUSE BEFORE OR AFTER THE INSPECTION, KEEP THAT PAPERWORK CLOSE AT HAND. IF THE INSPECTION REPORT OR THE BUYERS RAISE QUESTIONS ABOUT RECENT REPAIRS, YOU’LL BE READY. THIS CAN HELP SPEED UP THE CLOSING PROCESS AND HELP YOU AVOID PAYING UNNECESSARILY FOR THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FIXED STAY OUT OF THE WAY: WHEN IT’S TIME FOR YOUR HOME INSPECTION, YOUR BEST BET IS TO MAKE YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR PETS SCARCE. NOT ONLY IS IT HARD TO HEAR YOUR HOME BEING CRITIQUED, BUT YOUR PRESENCE MAY ALSO MAKE THE BUYERS UNCOMFORTABLE ASKING QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH THE HOME INSPECTOR, LEAVE A NOTE BEHIND. BUYING OR SELLING A HOME IS A HUGE AND IMPORTANT UNDERTAKING. A HOME INSPECTION CAN GIVE YOU THE PEACE OF MIND YOU DESERVE AS YOU TAKE ON WHAT, FOR MANY, MAY BE THE SINGLE LARGEST PURCHASE OF THEIR LIFETIME. https://homeownershipmatters.realtor/issues/how-to-prepare-for-a-home-inspection-when-youre-selling-or-buying-your-home/

COVID vaccine

Mandate creates staff shortages in long-term care

From pigeons to cows

By Paige Cornwell The Seattle Times As a traveling certified nursing assistant, Amelia Thornton has encountered all types of opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine among workers in Eastern Washington long-term care facilities.

Some workers got the vaccine — as she did — as soon as it became available to long-term care staff. Others, despite evidence of the vaccine’s “There is a effectiveness, remain hesitant, wanting to learn limited more about what’s in the number of shot. And she’s heard from a few who say, now that people they will be required to be doing this vaccinated, they plan to switch careers. work in “I honestly wouldn’t blame them, if they are not the state making significantly more and the money than you would at a Walmart or something,” country. said Thornton, who lives in Quincy, Grant County.

Even if a “There is just so much small misinformation. I try not to percentage judge.”

Opinions about COVIDdecide to 19 shots aside, all WashingWashing long-term care nurses, leave that ton aides and other employees vacci field, it’s a will be required to be vaccinated by Oct. 18 against the big issue.” virus that has been more deadly among the residents John they care for than any other MCreynolds, population. But as of Aug. Ceo 8, just 68% of nursing home North Valley workers in the state have been vaccinated, compared Hospital with 83% of residents, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which doesn’t track numbers for other long-term care facilities.

Some organizations representing long-term care facilities praised Gov. Jay Inslee’s sweeping mandate, which goes further than President Joe Biden’s directive that only applies to nursing homes. Requiring all workers in nursing homes, assisted-living facilities and adult family homes to be vaccinated, advocates say, ensures that employees don’t just leave one facility and go to another, unvaccinated. Residents, staff and others associated with long-term care residents account for 43% of Washington state’s more than 6,400 COVID-19 deaths.

Industry critics of the mandate, while encouraging all to be vaccinated, say adding a requirement could be detrimental to facilities that struggled with staffing levels pre-pandemic and that compete with service jobs, wage-wise.

In small nursing homes or adult family homes, losing just one worker who is vaccine-hesitant could have a critical impact.

With less than two months before the deadline, providers are working to strike a balance: Advocate for workers to get a vaccine and ensure residents are properly cared for, all while preparing for the possibility that someone may not be persuaded and choose to leave.

“When we think about the workforce total,

Children fill the fairgrounds with their animals By sydnee gonzalez World staff writer WATERVILLE — Cars and trailers lined up for hours Wednesday afternoon at the Douglas County Fairgrounds as exhibitors waited to check their animals in for the North Central Washington Fair.

About 475 kids and teens from around the region came with pigs, steers, chickens and more to get ready for the fair, which starts today. Although there are fewer exhibitors participating than the most recent in-person fair in 2019, fair livestock clerk Ann Whitehall is excited to see people back in person.

“It was wonderful to get as many animals registered as we did,” Whitehall said. “I was excited.” The fair — ncwfair. org — runs through Sunday.

Returning to an in-person fair has been exciting for the 4-H Club and FFA participants as well — and most of them

For Joyce agriculture also runs in the family. But unlike her father, who grew up on a farm, Joyce raises animals from her backyard in Mansfield. She’s shown animals at the fair for four years, starting out with a rabbit before moving to goats.

“They’re pets,” she said of the goats she currently has. “We walk them around town. They’ll even run with us.”

Decision comes after FDA approves Pfizer vaccine

By greg Mason The Spokesman-Review

PULLMAN — Washington State University students can no longer submit for personal or philosophical exemptions to the school’s COVID-19 vaccine policy after the Food and Drug

Administration gave full approval Monday to the Pfizer vaccine.

Likewise, students who have requested those exemptions will have a 45-day window to either provide proof of vaccination (or initiation of vaccination) or seek for a new medical or religious exemption.

WSU spokesman Phil Weiler said the clock has not yet started on that window, as university officials are expected to provide more information to students in the coming days. In all other cases, students have until Sept. 10 to provide proof of initiation or completion of a COVID-19 vaccination or to file an exemption.

As of Monday, 11,865 of WSU Pullman students (62.2%) have complied with the university’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement.

Weiler said 11,100 students have

submitted proof of vaccination, 200 have asked either for a medical or religious exemption and 565 have sought personal exemptions.

Of those who are compliant, 93.7% are fully vaccinated, Weiler said.

Meanwhile, Weiler reported just 143 WSU Spokane students (9%) have complied with the vaccine requirement, with 139 who have submitted proof of vaccination,

U.S.: 2 explosions near Kabul airport Reuters

WASHINGTON, D.C. — There were at least two explosions near Kabul’s airport amid a huge and chaotic evacuation effort from Afghanistan on Thursday, the Pentagon said, with civilians and U.S. service members among the casualties of what was described as a “complex attack.”

A source familiar with U.S. congressional briefings said U.S. officials strongly believe that the Afghan affiliate of Islamic State, known as Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), after an old name for the region,

was responsible. ISIS-K is opposed by the United States and the Taliban.

A Taliban official said at least 13 people were killed in the blast, including children, and many Taliban guards were wounded.

A U.S. official, citing initial information, told Reuters as many as five U.S. military personnel may have been hurt, including at least one seriously.

A surgical hospital run by an Italian charity said it was treating more than 60 wounded. The attacks came after the United States and allies urged Afghans to leave the area because of a threat by Islamic State militants.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said one blast occurred near the airport’s Abbey Gate and the other close to the nearby Baron Hotel. Two U.S. officials
