New Fiction Release by Stan Talbott Explores Divorced Mans Acrimonious Relationship with His Ex-Wife

Bend, Ore. (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

Billy Freeman is a happily divorced man; though his relationship with his eldest daughter and his son are tumultuous, his relationship with his middle daughter is rock solid, and he couldnt be happier to be out of his ex-wifes life. Billy is an avid runner, and he has embraced his single status with gusto in this fictional story. However, as time passes, he begins to realize the extent of the role that his ex played in his trouble with his children.

Billys ex-wife, Diane Downer, spent much of the kids youth addicted to drugs and alcohol and poisoning the minds of Billys children against him. Now that the children are grown and Billy is free, Diane continues to make his life miserable by attempting to snatch custody of their middle daughters six-year-old son. Faith, who has had trouble in her past, reaches out to Billy to help her get her son Trystan from his grandmothers clutches, and Billy is eager to come to her aid.

Unfortunately, Billys interference enrages Diane, and she levels charges of stalking against her ex-husband. Billy is initially amused, but as time goes on, he becomes more and more frustrated and shocked by the extent of Dianes animosity toward himself as well as their daughter and by the inefficiency of the American legal system. Can Billy extricate himself from this nightmare, and will Diane ever be made to pay for her transgressions?

“The Appeal of Stalking” is by turns hilarious, shocking, and sad, with an appealing hero in Billy Freeman. Billy fights for justice with panache, and engages the reader in his battle as he attempts to defend himself against his former wifes ludicrous charges.

Author Stan Talbott is a retired financial advisor who has chosen to make writing a full-time endeavor. “The Appeal of Stalking” is Talbotts second novel. His first novel, “Goddess Seeker,” follows the journey of Steven Jenny. Jenny seeks the Greek goddess of Victory after hearing the voice of the late American distance running legend, Steve Prefontaine, in a bar in Eugene, Oregon.

Talbott is a native of Central Oregon and now spends his time there training for triathlons as he composes his latest tales.

NYC – Central Park: James Michael Levin Playground – Sophie Irene Loeb Fountain
financial aid for mothers

Image by wallyg
The Sophie Irene Loeb Fountain, commemorating newspaperwoman and social worker Sophie Irene Loeb, was dedicated in James Michael Levin Playground in 1936. Sculpted by Frederick George Richard Roth, and built by architect C. Dale Badgeley of Badgeley & Wood, the large, decorative, reinforced concrete drinking fountain was inspired by Lewis Carroll’s children’s story Alice in Wonderland (1865). The high relief carvings on feature, on the front, Alice, the Duchess, and the Cheshire Cat; on the right are the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, and Griffon; on the rear are the Kneeling Page and Queen; and on the left is the King. This circular sculpture rests on top of a hexagonally-shaped base which sits inside the fountain basin.

In 1926 philanthropist August Heckscher, the grandfather of the Parks Commissioner of the same name. pledged funds to create what would become later known as James Michael Levin Playground. Loeb campaigned fervently for the construction of the playground and was appreciated by the Parks community for her efforts. The fountain was commissioned by Parks when it rebuilt the playground in 1935, and it was dedicated in 1936 in Loeb’s memory.

Sophie Irene Loeb (1876-1929) was the founder and first president of the Child Welfare Board of New York City. She is recognized in this context for her support of recreational opportunities for children in Central Park.

Born in Russia, she immigrated with her family to the United States when she was six years old. Soon after settling in Pennsylvania, Loeb’s father died, leaving the family with no means of support. As the eldest of six children, sixteen-year-old Sophie was forced to work in a store to help her mother support their large family. These financial struggles prompted Loeb’s later concern for social reform and welfare.

After graduating from high school, Sophie began teaching young children. In 1896, she married Anselm Loeb, a storeowner and her former employer. Marriage freed Sophie from teaching and allowed her to pursue other interests such as art, poetry, and writing. Her writing came to the attention of several publishers, including those at the New York Evening World. In 1910, Loeb moved to New York City after divorcing her husband. Keeping the surname Loeb, she began working at the Evening World as a reporter.

Loeb focused her journalistic and social attentions on welfare for widowed mothers. New York City had struggled for years over the idea of civic versus state economic relief for “destitute mothers.” The City maintained homes for children of widowed mothers, but many women refused to send their children to these homes, leaving them to the mercy of private charities. Believing that private aid was insufficient, Loeb sought state relief as well. She wrote several articles that argued for the establishment of such a system, and worked closely with Hannah Bachman Einstein, who founded the Widowed Mothers’ Fund Association in 1909. Elected President of the New York City Welfare Board in 1923, Loeb helped to found the Child Welfare Committee of America in 1924. She also fought for immigrant use of New York City schools as civic centers; and the cleaning and fireproofing of movie theaters; installation of public baths; funding of school lunches, and support for housing reform.

Ten years after Loeb’s death, Congress amended the Social Security Act of 1935 to include provisions for the protection of widows and children of laborers. Although she died childless, Loeb nevertheless was known as the “godmother of American children.”

Frederick George Richard Roth (1872-1944) is well known for his animal sculptures and limestone reliefs that appear in and around both the Central and Prospect Park Zoos. Some of his well-known works include Dancing Bear and Dancing Goat (both 1937) at the Central Park Zoo, and Balto (1925) and Mother Goose, both also in Central Park.

Central Park was designated a scenic landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1974.

President Obama’s recent stimulus plan guaranteed financial aid for mothers returning toschool/college.  Most can qualify to get ,000 in grant money to offset educational costs and living expenses.  Help much would that help?

Financial help for single moms is not a new concept.  In fact, in Florida, grants for single mothers have proven very beneficial, and that’s why this trend has been expanded to the entire nation.  When considered, it makes sense.  By investing in the current generation, the United States can ensure that future generations will continue to be educated.  It’s a proven fact that we’re just now waking up to.

The money allocated as financial aid for mothers returning to school/college carries another amazing benefit.  It isn’t repayable!  That’s right; they give the money as a grant, giving you a free education that will only reap future benefits.

Private companies have now followed suit, and are giving the same grant money to qualified women.  And, if you qualify for other grants, it’s no problem.  There’s no limit to the amount of money you can receive, as long as you qualify.  As you can see, financial help for single moms is peaking as you read this.

So, it’s obvious that the time is now.  The system in Florida, grants for single mothers, has obviously proven beneficial the United States government has taken notice.  This money won’t last forever, and you should delay no longer.

Make the change, for yourself and your children, and begin living the life that you have always deserved.  The economy slowed, and government responded, and you can benefit.  Act immediately!

A How To Guide To Finding (And Receiving!) College Scholarships

A How To Guide To Finding (And Receiving!) College Scholarships

Dreams, aspirations and future. These lofty pursuits cost money. A College
education can be quite expensive and planning to get all the assistance you
possibly can on the financial front is essential. This guide came into being
based on a very real need to understand the intricacies and complexities
involved in finding, applying and receiving a college scholarship. There are
many types of students, different types of scholarships and sponsorships,
even loans and financial aid available to undertake building and shaping your
future and training for your career, profession and passionate pursuit.

There are also many different reasons people apply or not for scholarships.
Ambition, need, disbelief that they qualify, or that their G.P.A. is not high
enough, could be possible reasons. Others might include that their parents
can afford it, could be merit based scholarships that have nothing to do with
the financial positioning and means of anyone. Most do not know where to
look or where to start applying, or what to do once they have been awarded
a scholarship. Time to spend on this process is worthwhile effort no matter
how you look at it, yet some of us choose to wait until the last minute,
procrastinate or just hope that magically it will work out in the end. We do
not pay close attention to any real practical planning or direction in our
application process, setting ourselves us for failure, delay and even
rejection.
