.J. Rossi first moved to the area in 1993 to attend Cuesta College. He received his AA at Cuesta, his BA from
California State University Fresno, and his Masters
from Cal Poly SLO. During his time at Cuesta he met his
lovely wife Tracy and has been committed to the community
of Atascadero ever since. During his time in Atascadero, E.J.
has been connected to the local businesses. He and his wife
were local business owners of the Dance Center of Atascadero
from 2002 – 2006 and he stays involved in his wife’s family
business: Michael’s Optical. E.J. is dedicated to serving the
community through multiple service organizations and has
served as a board member for the Chamber of Commerce,

Atascadero Kiwanis.
Meet Your
Directors
Ray M. Buban, E.A.
Financial & Tax Service
I
have deep roots in Atascadero. I have lived here for thirty-four years and cannot imagine living anywhere else. I
attended Cal Poly, Cuesta College and Allan Hancock
College, and earned a degree in accounting. My proudest accomplishment is being a Father and a Granddad.
I am an Enrolled Agent, licensed by the Internal Revenue
Service, and a Registered Representative with Cetera
Financial Services. I have more than twenty five years of Tax
& Financial experience. Each year, my continuing education
involves at least thirty hours of federal and state tax law and
at least sixteen hours of securities law. My office provides a
wide range of tax and financial services, including financial
statements, payroll, sales tax, retirement plans, mutual funds,
planning, preparation, and consultation for individuals, sole
proprietors, corporations, partnerships, LLC’s and nonprofits.
I believe in giving back to the community that has given
me so much over the years. I am a member and Honorable
Distinguished Past President of the Atascadero Kiwanis
Club, a charter member of the Atascadero Elks, co-chair of
the Atascadero Boosters Bones BBQ Team, and a Booster of

Such petitions shall be filed with the nominating committee
within fifteen (15) days of the date of this notice.
The determination of the nominating committee as to the
eligibility by the petition(s) shall be final.

you have questions relative to the selection and election of
Directors, please call Chamber President/CEO Linda Hendy,
466-2044.
E.J.’s biggest impact on the community of Atascadero
is in his work as the Principal of Atascadero High School.
Starting in 2007, he began as the Assistant Principal in charge
of Curriculum and Instruction and then in 2008 became the
Principal. He brought a great deal of educational experience
to the school even at his young age, having worked at every
level within the educational system. While going to school,
E.J. worked in preschools, ran after school programs at
elementary schools through the YMCA, and worked at a
high school in the athletics & activities departments. Upon
completing his education, he taught elementary and middle
school math, and was a superintendent/principal, before
coming to AHS. With his wide range of experience and
connection within the community, E.J. has been able to build
upon the tradition of “Greytness” within Atascadero High
School and help develop students into adults who will excel
in both college and careers.
When he is not working or serving on a community service
project, E.J. enjoys spending time with his wife Tracy and
their two kids, Tobi (11) and Corbin (8). Together they
enjoy camping, playing
sports, and serving others.
all things associated with
Atascadero High School.
I am also a Templeton
High School Booster and
a sponsor of local Little
League and Babe Ruth
baseball teams. I have served on the Board of the San Luis
Obispo County Red Cross and the Atascadero Chamber of
Commerce also as an Ambassador of Good Will and Cheer.
I have also been a Board Member & President of the North
County Women’s Shelter. I am currently a Trustee of the
Atascadero Unified School District.
I have been honored as the Atascadero Businessman of
the Year and also the National Republican Congressional
Committee’s Businessman of the year. The California
Teachers Association presented me with their prestigious
Gold Award as an outstanding public servant.
I continue to provide excellence in service and
professionalism that has been the hallmark of my Financial
& Tax Practice for over 27 years.
Although my son Darrick graduated from Atascadero High
School more than fifteen years ago, I remain a passionate
supporter of Greyhound football and do my best to never
miss a game. Go Hounds!
My favorite meal is steak, crab, artichoke, baked potato,
and salad with blue cheese dressing.
My favorite activities, other than watching Greyhound
football, are being with my son & grandchildren, hanging
out in my yard and garden, riding my Harley and cruising in
my classic 1965 Malibu or 1966 GTO.

anking is about people helping people and Rabobank’s
Atascadero team is one of the best. Branch Manager
Carol Bezkostny has been with the bank for 24 years.
She is an active member of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club of Atascadero, and a participant in
various community events.
Carol is joined by Customer Service Manager Pat Coates,
Financial Services Officer Tamara Baldwin and a veteran staff
of dedicated bankers to serve you. If you need a home loan or
refinancing, Mortgage Loan Representative Karyn Sturtevant
will be happy to tailor one to fit your needs.
Customers enjoy the ease and convenience of using stateof-the-art ATMs at the branch at 6950 El Camino Real.
The ATMs, both walk-up and drive-up, feature easy-to-read
screens and touch-screen navigation, along with enhanced
security features and envelope-free deposits. The ATMs allow
you to deposit a stack of up to 10 checks at one time or a
stack of up to 30 bills at one time, all without an envelope.
Your receipt includes images of your deposited checks and a
complete summary of your deposit.
Plus, if you’re out of town, you can use similar ATMs at
any of Rabobank’s 119 branches in California, and Rabobank
customers have free access to more than 500 ATMs at
Walgreens stores throughout California, including the store
in Atascadero.
In addition, Rabobank has made banking even more
convenient for customers by introducing its mobile app for
smart phones and tablets. The nationally-recognized mobile
banking app lets you manage your personal account anytime,
anywhere with your iPhone®, iPad® or Android™ device.

Rabobank is dedicated to making banking easier and more
convenient for businesses like yours. The bank launched a new

designed for small businesses. It is easy to use, has quick
navigation and provides features that help small businesses
grow and succeed.
Plus, the Atascadero Rabobank now has eight solarpowered charging stations, called Superchargers, to
recharge all electric vehicles, and specifically Tesla models.
The installation is part of the bank’s contribution to
environmental sustainability that makes the community a
better place to live and work and that makes our way of life a
little more enjoyable with less carbon emissions and less noise
pollution.
Rabobank’s mission is to create value for its customers,
employees and communities by providing high-quality and
reliable financial services. Stop by the branch at 6950 El
Camino Real and see how Rabobank can help you too.

A
Beautiful Verdin Clock has been placed in the
Sunken Gardens in honor of Joanne Main. The
Lakeside Wine Festival Committee purchased
the clock in remembrance of Main as well as to recognize
Atascadero’s Centennial. Joanne’s passing in 2011 was a
shock to our community. She was a loving wife, mother,
and grandmother. She was not only a member of the
Wine Festival Committee, but was the President /CEO
of the Atascadero Chamber of Commerce; past President
and active member of Rotary Club of Atascadero; and
served on numerous City Committees.

“Money Matters But Does It Motivate?”
I
By Dr. Ryan McGaughey DC
t is the fourth quarter and we are not talking football.
It’s that time when the North County Young
Professionals look toward the rapidly approaching end of
the year. Business, financial, and personal goals for the fiscal
year are the focus of attention, and one question is asked:
“Money matters… but does it motivate?”
For Kaitlin King of Collaboration Business Consulting,
what matters is your WHY; and for most people their WHY
is not money, a point she drove home in the cool, relaxing
atmosphere of Haven Wine Bistro in Atascadero on August
29th.
Kaitlin’s fun -loving sense of humor combined with her
creative, un-orthodox, and thought- provoking method of
presentation permeated deep into the hearts and minds of
all the attendees as everyone thought about their WHY: their
motivation to be the best in their respected careers.
Kaitlin hit nine major action steps to help with motivation.

snickering; and while we all know what it is like to have
too many managers, the actual meaning of this step was to
impart more confidence in your team by giving others more
responsibility.
Another major point hit home in the talk was the absolute
necessity of knowing what makes each individual (whether
you, as the manager, or your staff) tick, regardless of whether
these are the same or not. How do your co-workers feel
recognized for their hard work? Do they like gifts, interoffice competition, acknowledgement with a card, or perhaps
acknowledgement in front of their team?
Finally, the event convened with the sharing ideas by the
audience, including strategies that had worked to promote
welfare and good relationships with their employers,
employees, and co-workers. In the end, smiles bound, and
everyone was able to take away at least one pearl to apply
immediately in their life, work, and community.

Employers Must Notify
Employees of Healthcare
Options by Oct 1
R
ecent stories about the Affordable Care Act
have focused on October 1, 2013 as a day
Californians will be able to compare and shop
online for health plans. Employers should know that
October 1,2013 also is a deadline for notifying employees about their options under the health law. Regardless of size and whether health benefits are already
provided to employees or not, all California employers will need to provide written notice to all current
employees describing the existence of, and options
available, under Covered California as well as the employee’s potential eligibility for tax credits.
The Federal Department of Labor has created
two notification forms: one for employers who
do not (www. http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/pdf/
FLSAwithoutplans.pdf ) offer coverage and one for
employers who do (www. http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/
pdf/FLSAwithplans.pdf ). Employers must provide
this notice to existing employees by October 1, 2013
or within 14 – days of a new hires start date. While
there are no immediate penalties for non-compliance,
there is a chance employers could face civil penalties if
they fail to issue the notice.
More information on employer requirements under
the federal Affordable Care Act can be found on the
Departments of Labor’s website here – www.dol.gov/
ebsa/healthreform . For more information about the
Notice of Coverage Options provision and about the

Labor Law Corner
The law allows an employer under certain circumstances to
go to court and seek a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)
against any person whether an employee or some other
person. An employer who has an employee who has suffered
an unlawful violent attack or who has received a credible
threat of violence where the violent act occurred in the work
place or the credible threat might reasonably be expected to
take place in the work place. The TRO can be sought for the
benefit of the employee or other employees at the employer’s
place of business. In addition, under certain circumstances,
the law allows the chief administrative officer (or his or her
designee) of a college to apply for a TRO to protect a student
or other students However, officer or designee must have the
permission of the student. These laws can be found in the
California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 527.8 (a) and
527.85. Finally, the Workers Compensation Board may allow
a claim by an employee or his or her family for injury or death
occurring at work if the person causing the harm or death
acted out of a desire to injury the employee because he or
she was in certain protected categories, such as, for example,
his or her race, religion, gender or gender orientation. The
authority to make this ruling is found in the California Labor
Code at Section 3600(c).
As a consequence, a California employer needs to make
sure its Employee Handbook is up to date with all of the
applicable rules and protections. In addition, the employer
needs to make sure that these rules are enforced and, in this
day and age, that a threat of violence against an employee
is taken seriously and that adequate measures are taken to
protect the safety of its employees.
Finally, an employer’s worker’s compensation insurance
could be triggered by an injury or death that occurs at work
even if the person who causes the injury or death is not an
employee or otherwise not connected to the workplace. The
Workers Compensation Board may allow a claim by an
employee or his or her family for injury or death occurring at
work if the third party causing the harm or death acted out
of a desire to injury the employee because he or she was in
certain protected categories, such as, for example, his or her
race, religion, gender or gender orientation. The authority to
make this ruling is found in the California Labor Code at
Section 3600(c).

Workplace Violence
R
ecently, there was an article in the news about a teacher who had taught at a particular private school in San
Diego, California for 16 years whose contract with the
school was not renewed due to concern by the school over
what the teacher’s husband might do to her at the school, and
also what he might do to other teachers, administrators and,
of course, students. Apparently, he had a history of being an
abusive spouse and had, in fact, been the subject of Temporary Restraining Orders issued to protect the teacher from
further violence and abuse. The article appeared under the
catchy description of a victim being punished for the wrongs
of her abusive husband. But, what were the choices that the
employer was facing?
We all remember as well the hair salon in Seal Beach,
California where a number of workers there were killed by
the husband of a hairdresser who entered the shop and shot
the hairdresser and several of her co-workers. The United
States Supreme Court has also interpreted the Second
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as including a right to
own a gun. There are states -- California is not one --- where
the Legislatures there have enacted laws that say that an
employee may bring a weapon on to an employer’s property.
Usually, the employee must keep the weapon in the trunk of
his or her car, but the employer cannot, in those states, forbid
an employee from bringing the weapon on to the employer’s
premises, i.e., the parking lot..
The law that is discussed below is California law; and,
unless an employer has employees located in certain other
states, the information that follows should control how
things are handled in this state. Thus, for example, there is
no law in California forbidding an employer from adopting
a policy preventing an employee from bringing a firearm
on its premises even if the premise in question is a parking
lot. A properly worded provision in a personnel Handbook
can forbid an employee from bringing a firearm onto
the employer’s premises, and this is true even though the
employee might have a Second Amendment Right to possess
a gun.

There’s Lots to Know
and Learn About The
Charles Paddock Zoo
W
e have a wonderful little gem in our own backyard
called the Charles Paddock Zoo, but many residents and visitors don’t know about all the activities that take place behind the scenes every day at the Zoo.
The primary mission of every staff member at the Charles
Paddock Zoo is conservation and helping to propagate
certain endangered animals. The Charles Paddock Zoo is very
proud to be an integral participant of the Species Survival
Program (SSP). The zoo may be small but it is recognized for
doing great work in helping to save certain species of small
and endangered animals.
After conservation, zoo staff focuses on education in order to
produce young ambassadors interested in future conservation
and education. And beyond all that, they work hard every day
to provide an enjoyable environment for visitors.
One of the most exciting events recently at the zoo was the
birth of twin Red Panda cubs. In the United States, there are
currently only about a dozen Red Panda babies, and two of
them are at our zoo! The cubs were born in June, but due to
From the Office of Supervisor
Debbie Arnold
5th District Supervisor
O
n August 27, the Board of Supervisors unanimously
passed an Urgency Ordinance pertaining to the Paso
Robles Groundwater Basin. This is an issue that has
caused many in the North County to engage and let their
voice be heard. I personally attended several local meetings
and spent many hours researching data and visiting with constituents to hear their concerns. I agree that we need to focus
on the health of the basin by creating a future water supply
that is not solely dependent on the pumping of groundwater.
The County has seen an increase in demand of groundwater
resources over the past several decades involving both rural
residence and agricultural interests.
From a property rights stand point, this was a very difficult
vote for me. First of all, I am not certain that the decision
should have been made using an urgency ordinance. An
urgency ordinance allows the Board of Supervisors to bypass
the public process that is required to pass an ordinance. This
can be a dangerous precedent used to make decisions in haste
when making land use decisions. Secondly, my request that
staff provide us with the economic impact that this ordinance
would have on the North County was never answered due to
time constraints.
With the goal of protecting the health of the water basin
and providing a reliable supply for residents of the basin, I

t’s the small business
owners, the customers
and the local community who make Small Business Saturday the biggest
shopping day of the year for
small businesses. Last year’s
campaign to shop small here
in Atascadero was a big success; people from all over the
County came out to show
their support for small busi-
the high summer-time temperatures in Atascadero and the
unfortunate risk of mortality in young cubs, our staff kept
the announcement under wraps until they felt more assured
of the little cubs’ health and survival. Baby Red Pandas aren’t
able to regulate their body temperatures adequately, and
overheating is a major concern. The cubs were born in a
nesting box located inside a specially air-cooled holding area.
Now that the cubs are starting to move around on their own
we are expecting them to venture outside any day now to
make their public debut.
Our little zoo is also an important player in the turtle
conservation world. The small scale of the zoo and the
wonderful climate here are perfect for raising several species
of turtles. Of the top 50 rarest turtle species, we have
approximately a half-dozen at the zoo, including some which
just a few years ago were believed to be extinct in the wild.
Unfortunately for visitors, many species of turtle are shy and
tend to hide from view. We now have several young turtles
that were born in captivity and so are accustomed to being
around people; we expect to have them available to the public
in our new “Turtles in Trouble” display to be completed by
the end of the year.
The Charles Paddock Zoo is always in need of volunteers!
Someone with a clerical background can help with press
releases, paperwork and filing. Those with carpentry,
construction and painting experience are always needed for
projects. We need people who can tell stories and help teach
our young visitors about the zoo and conservation. And, you
wouldn’t believe how many dishes need to be washed every
day at the zoo! The Charles Paddock Zoo is your zoo too,
come be a part of it! If you would like to volunteer, please call

worked to bring amendments to the ordinance that would
also protect the vested interests of local businesses in the
North County. In the end, the passage of the ordinance
was a compromise between me and some of my colleagues
that wanted to see a more restrictive ordinance. It’s time
now to move forward with solutions that will accomplish
the goals mentioned above. I look forward to working with
agriculturalists, residents, and staff to provide solutions
and implementation. The Final Urgency Ordinance is
now available to view on the County website http://www.
slocounty.ca.gov/site4.aspx.
Some changes to the staff’s report were:
• Exclude San Miguel and Shandon CSDs
• Eliminate the Ag Pond Restriction
• New irrigated crop production planted as of August 27 are
not subject to ordinance
• If you can provide County evidence of a “vested right” your
project is exempt
• Change the offset ratio from 2:1 to 1:1, requiring an Offset
Clearance
• Remove the requirement to destroy the existing well when
a replacement well is permitted
• All new wells must be metered and monitored monthly by
the landowner
This interim ordinance is effective for 45 days of its passage
with the possibility of extensions up to 2 years during which
time the Supervisors are required to consider a permanent
comprehensive ordinance and/or general plan amendment
per California Code.
It is an honor to serve the 5th District.
