in Turin, Italy.

ECPA volunteers are processing registration forms now. Only those
individuals whose registration is received on or before May 10 will be offered
reduced conference rates. Regular rates will be applied to those forms
received between May 11 and June 21. After June 21, participants must
register in person at the conference and will be charged an additional late
fee.
Participants are requested to arrange for their own lodging. Please refer to
the enclosed list of local hotels. We recommend that participants confirm
their lodging arrangements by mid-May, as discounted rooms will disappear
quickly.
If past attendance is any indication, space will be limited in many sessions.
Conference organizers will make every effort to satisfy participant requests;
however, seating arrangements will be made on a first-come, first-served
basis. So complete the enclosed registration form and send it in, along with
your payment, in order to reserve your place.

We look forward to seeing you in Turin.

Sincerely,
Franz Likert
ECPA President

FIRE IN INDUSTRIAL PARK

Spring Valley--A fire damaged an unused section of Warehouse C in Spring Valley Industrial Park late Saturday evening. The warehouse was unoccupied at the time, and no one was harmed in the blaze.

According to preliminary reports by the industrial park Fire Department, the fire was said to have been caused by faulty wiring in the ceiling.

The incident resulted in slight water damage to the loading dock and minor shipping delays when
trucks had to be moved from the immediate vicinity as a precaution.

Fire Chief John Smith credits the limited damage to the fast reaction of employees who were working in another area of the industrial park that evening. “They called the Fire Department quickly, and we responded quickly,” he said.

Clock Watchers

Dear Editor:

In “Tips from Professionals” (from your August
edition), one employer you interviewed says
that those who work late should not be allowed
to show up late the next morning. Surely it’s
more important for a boss to note the total
hours an employee works and the amount of
initiative she or he shows than to act in such a
short-sighted manner. Perhaps instead of laying
down rules for his employees that create an
atmosphere of distrust, this employer should be
trying to inspire his employees.

At one of the management seminars I recently
attended, the seminar leader gave this sage
advice: “Never discipline an achiever for
arriving a few minutes late. If you are
concerned with time more than quality and
quantity of work performed, you will squelch
creativity and stifle motivation.”

 How do sunscreens work?

Sunscreens protect skin from the harmful effects of the sun by absorbing ultraviolet
(UV) rays before they can burn your skin. Chemicals added to sunscreens absorb UV rays
in much the same manner as melanin, a substance occurring naturally in the body.

UV rays can be reflected with opaque creams called sunblocks, which block the sun like
your clothing does.

Choose a product with a high enough Sun Protection Factor (SPF). A sunscreen’s SPF
rating indicates the length of time the product will protect you from the sun before you
begin to burn. For example, if you would normally be OK in the sun for 10 minutes, a
sunscreen with an SPF of 10 will give you 10 times that protection, or 100 minutes.

If you will be in the water or exercising while in the sun, consider using a water-
resistant or waterproof sunscreen. Water-resistant formulas maintain their SPF rating
for 40 minutes of water activity, while waterproof formulas maintain their SPF for 80
minutes.

Sunscreen should be applied to dry skin about half an hour before exposure to the sun
and should be reapplied every hour or two hours, depending on the sunscreen’s SPF.

            Bus Proposal Sparks Debate

Oakdale--The Oakdale Transportation Authority’s
(OTA) proposal to run smaller buses on the D2
route has sparked discussion between residents of
Benley and Foster Park, the two communities that
would be affected by the change. Both
communities have established committees to
resolve the issue.

The Foster Park committee, led by resident Amy
Chen, claims that the smaller buses cannot
accommodate the rush-hour passenger load. Foster
Park residents suggest running large buses during
rush hour and small buses during off-peak hours.
OTA spokesperson Andy Carlucci says that the
smaller buses can accommodate all passengers if
the number of trips is increased but that OTA will
consider Foster Park’s idea.

The Benley committee, led by Ed Solomon, has
suggested changes for the D2 route itself. Benley
residents suggest splitting the D2 route into two
parts, with a limited number of smaller buses
traveling through Benley on Stanton Street and the
majority of buses avoiding Benley by following
Michigan Avenue. The Benley committee says that
this arrangement would limit the number of buses
traveling through its crowded streets to a more
acceptable number. OTA route coordinator Maria
Valdez has stated that she will consider this
arrangement.

                Finance Service Set to Monitor Company Auditors

Devon—The Finance Oversight Service (FOS), a government agency created to
monitor company adherence to securities regulations, reported today that it is
examining the resignation of company auditors in this region. Owners and managers
of several local companies are reported to have pressured auditors to step down
before the expiration of their terms.
According to an FOS official, the FOS believes that many internal auditors are being
prevented from adequately carrying out their jobs. “Company management will now
need to provide a detailed explanation whenever an internal auditor leaves early.
Auditors are responsible for keeping tabs on a company’s operations, so their ability
to stay objective must be protected,” the official said. The FOS will ask companies to
make public all resignations of auditors and, when deemed necessary, demand
reinstatement of those who have been forced out.
Current securities regulations stipulate that all companies employ internal auditors
and that, when auditors do not fulfill their appointed terms, regulatory authorities
must be notified. Regulations also require that any mid-term layoffs of internal
auditors be subject to approval by company shareholders.
