Modesto Amtrak Station
Today I had a meeting at the Alameda County Bar Association that is located at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA.
Rather than drive from Sonora to Oakland, I drove to Modesto and hopped on Amtrak.
The train was clean, efficient and what a bargain $19.00 each way and if I had made the reservation 3 day's in advance, I would have received a AAA discount of 10%.
I was able to pull out the laptop, with fresh cup off coffee, purchased in the dining car, read a morning paper and before I knew it, I was in Oakland.
Talk about "green" living.
The San Joaquin Amtrak Line runs from Oakland on the North side to Bakersfield on the South.

I arrived at my meeting fresh, completed multiple reports and the scenery of migratory bird life made my trip a real pleasure.

Tuolumne County Superior Court, Sonora, CA 95370
As a mediator in disputes, we often see raw emotions displayed often with anger, resentment.
A recent mediation was with couple who had completed a breakup over a year ago.
The dispute was over the division of personal property acquired with their relationship together over 10 years.
For both, a dog they both loved was important to both. In addition personal property that had memories.
The couple turned to the court, and the court suggested mediation for potential resolution.
3.5 hours of mediation with a pair of trained neutrals, assisted the transition with a written agreement among the disputants.
Mediation does work, and can be effective in partnership disputes.

My Mediation Office
Yesterday I did a mediation, where the dispute involved neighbors and the shooting of a dog. The dog did survive and the dog owners did have anger, frustration,a large vet bill. The shooter felt his livestock was at threat.
The emotions were high, they lived next to each other.
The Superior Court was wise to suggest mediation vs a trial as a first step.
The parties were able with mediation to understand each others viewpoint and a settlement was reached, that will begin the healing process.
As the mediator, value was in the process.
