Employment law firm LightGabler is presenting a free employment law webinar, “Substance Abuse Issues in a Permissive State Environment.” The webinar is Tuesday, January 17 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

With new California marijuana testing laws set for 2024, and the more relaxed attitude (by some) toward marijuana, what are the best practices for employers? When should you test? What should you test for? Should you test job applicants?

In this webinar for employers, supervisors and human resource professionals, LightGabler employment law attorney Jonathan Fraser Light will answer these questions and discuss what to do when employees are caught using or carrying marijuana, “last chance agreements” and reasonable suspicion, post-accident and safety sensitive testing.

Reservations are required. Attendance is limited to no more than two logins per company. Login instructions will be provided upon registration and again via email the day prior to the webinar. To register, go to https://www.lightgablerlaw.com/seminars.

Continuing its celebration of coastal living, the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) presents The Lure of Lighthouses & Dancing Waves, an exhibit featuring more than 35 photographs of lighthouses and waves by the renowned and Emmy Award-winning surfing photographer and videographer Dan Merkel. The lighthouse photographs include images of lighthouses from near and far—from Cape Elizabeth and Cape Hatteras on the East Coast and Point Loma and Point Pinos on the West to Portugal and Australia. The images are accompanied by Dan’s breath-taking photos capturing waves throughout the world. Beginning on Thursday, January 26, the exhibit will be on view in SBMM’s Gallery and Munger Theater through August 27, 2023.

About Dan Merkel
Dan Merkel began his career just taking pictures of his friends. When he was hired to work for various surfing magazines in the early 70s, surfing was just being recognized as a sport with international competitions and professional surfers, such as Shaun Tomson. Being an experienced surfer himself, Merkel was able to get in the middle of the action with his cameras, which gave his images more immediacy and energy. In order to do this, Merkel designed much of his own waterproof housing that protected his equipment and allowed him to follow focus. Beginning in the late 1970s and continuing through the 1990s, Merkel switched his focus to commercial cinematography and became an Emmy-winning filmmaker working on classic surfing films including Free Ride, Big Wednesday, Endless Summer II, and many others.

Merkel licenses his images through AFrame Media and markets his prints online at https://www.photoprintingpros.com/collections/dan-merkel-photography. Many of his images also appear on his Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/danmerkelmedia/about.

Would you like to have a new year that really feels new? Often, instead of experiencing a new year, we are dragging around behaviors and habits that are from our past. Here is a way to live a truly new year.

Unity of Ventura is holding a “New Year’s Meditation Retreat” Saturday, January 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Poinsettia Pavilion (3451 Foothill Road, Ventura). The day will incorporate “silent” meditation, Vipassana training and guidance so participants can focus on how to obtain the changes they want in their life as they start the new year. All faiths are welcome.

The day will consist of sitting, walking and lunch--all in silence. Chairs will be provided. Bring your lunch and a cushion (or whatever is used when meditating) if you wish to sit on the floor. The retreat is $35 per person. To register, go to https://www.unityofventura.org. For more information, contact Rev. Heidi Alfrey at revheidialfrey@gmail.com, 808-280-2510.
