We would like to add on to our home. My husband found out that he can take out a loan from his 401(k) at a super-low interest rate, then have the amount deducted from his paycheck every week to pay back the loan to his account. It sounds too good to be true -- and that's making me nervous. I don't want to jeopardize our future for an extra two rooms. He thinks I'm being too worrisome. Is he right? -- Doti, email Dear Doti: Most 401(k) plans allow this, but the conditions can be severe. First, there's the matter of double taxation. The money in his account has never been taxed. Those are "before-tax" dollars. If he takes a loan, he will be repaying that money with "after-tax dollars." For every $1.00 he borrows he'll have to earn $1.28 or more to net $1.00 in his paycheck to repay the loan. Interest is on top of that. When he withdraws those same dollars in retirement he'll pay taxes on them again. Then there's the matter of life's uncertainty. If he leaves his employer for any reason before the Los Molinos Red Bluff Corning Corning loan is repaid, the entire balance help at all.

(AP) ��� The owners of four Pacific Northwest grain terminals have informed the longshore union they will not lock them out of their jobs. Instead, they will implement the terms of their final contract offer on Thursday. Under federal law, employers can take that step when parties reach a bargaining impasse. The last contract expired Sept. 30 and negotiations have stalled. ������This is not a lock out,������ the employers said in a statement. ������The companies informed the union that ILWU members are welcome to come to work under the new terms and conditions of employment.������ Wednesday���s action puts the International Longshore and Warehouse Union on the spot. Its options include accepting the offer, calling for a strike or seeking further bargaining while working under the new terms. The union is reviewing the owners��� letter, ILWU spokeswoman Jennifer Sargent said in a statement. For now, employees ������intend to continue working despite the substandard provisions of the employer���s last offer,������ she said.

The union, contending talks were not at an impasse, offered additional dates. Though it���s unknown for how long the longshoremen will work under terms they oppose, each day without a strike or lockout is good for farmers and their customers in Asia. More than a quarter of all U.S. grain exports and nearly half of U.S. wheat exports move through grain terminals on the Willamette River and Puget Sound. The dispute initially involved six of those terminals that operate under a single collective bargaining agreement with the ILWU: ��� Japan-based Marubeni Corp. (Columbia Grain in Portland). ��� Japan-based Mitsui & Co. (United Grain in Vancouver, Wash.). ��� Amsterdam-based Louis Dreyfus Commodities (grain elevators in Seattle and Portland). ��� United States-based Cargill and CHS Inc. (elevators in Tacoma and Portland). But one of the four owners, the charge of battery with serious bodily injury, exhibiting a deadly weapon: not a firearm and possession of controlled substance paraphernalia. Bail was $7,000. Break-ins ��� At least three reports were received of storage units at Olivegrove Mini Storage in Corning being broken into between 1:25 p.m. Saturday and 2:47 p.m. Tuesday. Nothing further was available. ��� Someone on Highway 99W in Corning reported an alarm at 2:38 a.m. Monday and that there had been some breakins a couple of nights before in which TVs and stereos were taken from a couple of storage units. The door alarm had tried to go off, but failed due to having dead batteries. Extra patrol was requested. ��� Someone reported Tuesday afternoon the front door to their residence in the 15800 block of Skyline Drive had been kicked in within the past week and there was extensive loss. Bad eggs Someone reported at 8:49 p.m. Monday in the area of Loleta and Woodson avenues in Corning that people in a white truck were driving around throwing eggs. Cargill and CHS joint venture, has broken away from the consortium and is believed to be negotiating separately with the union. It was not included in the letter the other owners emailed Wednesday to Leal Sundet, an ILWU coast committeeman, informing him of their decision to implement the terms of the last offer. Both sides have said workplace rules and management rights have been the sticking point during talks. Northwest grain terminals based in the Washington cities of Longview and Kalama operate under separate agreements with the ILWU. Terminals operators in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver, Wash., say they are at a competitive disadvantage because the longshoremen at their facilities have more favorable rules than those in Kalama and Longview. The owners want to eliminate perks such as paying workers a half-hour���s wages for working as little as six minutes. They also want greater discretion in hiring and staffing decisions and, according to a statement, ������the ability to hold the union to its agreement not to engage in work stoppages.������ Fire The cause of a residential structure fire reported at 9:07 a.m. Sunday in the 17000 block of Lake Road in the Bowman area of Cottonwood remains under investigation.
