Mediators help take a bite out of dog disputes - from USA Today, March 16, 2009


Area Residents Complete Mediation Training

Eight northern Michigan residents will soon help people in an 11-county area resolve their disputes and facilitate agreements by serving as volunteer mediators with Community Mediation Services.

Recently, each successfully completed an intensive 40-hours training approved by the Michigan Supreme Court – State Court Administrative Office and required of all general civil mediators in Michigan. The training was presented by Judi Doan and Grant Bliss.

New mediators include: Jessica Wummel, Gaylord; Wendy Reycraft, Grayling; Ray Yoder, Fairview; O.K. Doak, Elmira; Bobbi Cornell and Jacky Fitzgerald, Alpena; Craig Barton, East Tawas; Phyllis Kristin, Indian River.

“This was an outstanding class,” said Grant Bliss, executive director of CMS. “The residents here are very fortunate to have these newly trained mediators available to assist in resolving differences. They are ready to serve their community. We are pleased to have them join our team of experienced volunteer mediators.”

Congratulations to all and welcome to the Community Mediation Services team!
