Estes Valley Legacy to host planned-giving seminar

By Marsha Yelick
Special to the Trail-Gazette
ts an excellent question to ask, What can
I do to make the world
a better place? Or to
be more challenging, Do I
have responsibility to support the missions and ideals that I care about?
To generate some
responses on this issue, a
new financial seminar will

be offered at the Estes Valley Library on Tues., Feb.

3 from 7 8:30 pm. The
seminar is called, Everyone Can Give: Find out
How! The seminar is sponsored by the Estes Park
Nonprofit Resource Center
through the newly formed
Estes Valley Legacy: A
Planned Giving Collaborative and will be conducted
by Marsha Yelick, Indepen-

dent Financial Counselor

for the program.
Of course, there are
many ways to give including volunteering skills,
time and talent. This seminar, however, will consider
the financial questions. Do
I have enough money?
Will my money last my
lifetime? Are there ways
to give that are more valuable to the organization?

What is the best time to

make a gift?
You cant google
answers to these questions.
What it means to have
enough and how people
share their wealth are not
topics of day-to-day conversation.
For example, did you
know you are probably in
that top one percent which
defines wealthy individu-

als? Granted the news in

our country says the top
One Percenters earn over
$343,000 in annual income
or have over $8 million in
assets. No wonder most of
us dont consider ourselves
wealthy! From a global perspective, however, the cutoff for One Percenters is
quite a bit lower.

Class on American Revolution starts Feb. 11

For the Trail-Gazette

he Town of Estes
Parks Senior Services Division and
the Park School
District Adult Outreach
Program are offering a new
class series called Turning
the World Upside Down:
The American Revolution.
Professional educator
Jeff Arnold will instruct the

four-week series. The class

will be held on Wednesdays, Feb. 11, 18, 25 and
March 4 from 4 to 5 p.m. in
room 215 of the Estes Park
Middle School, 1500 Manford Avenue. The cost for
the class is $30 for 2015
members of Estes Park
Senior Citizens Center Inc.
or $40 for non-members.
Register now at the Senior

Center with cash or check

payable to the Town of
Estes Park. This class
requires a minimum of ten
students. The registration
deadline is Wed., Feb. 4.
Please note that students
do not need to have taken
prior year classes in order
to participate in the current
session.
Instructor Jeff Arnold

describes the class, The

American Revolution was
more than just a war, but
was an event that turned
the world upside down.
This course will focus on
the causes of the war, the
course of the fighting, the
diplomatic maneuvers, and
will ultimately try to
answer the question, how
did the colonists manage to

defeat one of the greatest

empires in the world?
Along the way, many ideas
that people have of the
events will be challenged.
Jeff Arnold has been
teaching United States history classes in Estes Park
schools for more than 20
years. He holds a BA in
History from the UniversiSee CLASS, pg. 14

Even relatively small

planned gifts can make a
huge difference to a receiving charitable organization
while clearly proclaiming
to the world the value of
the organizations mission.
Though we dont often
hear about them, many
methods have been developed to allow people to
pass some of their extra

wealth to organizations
that will continue to make a
difference in the worlds
future.
To register for the seminar, visit the date (Feb. 3, 7
- 8:30 pm) on the calendar

Art Upstairs features

work by Messal
through Feb. 28

By Keturah Young
Special to the Trail-Gazette
here are many reasons people create
art. Some artists
show us what we
see but in a more beautiful
way. Other artists show us
what we dont see, or what
we perhaps wish to remain
blind to. And still other artists show us what we see
but in new ways. All forms
of art hold a main objective: to tell a story that
challenges us to see, feel,
and think about the ordinary in an extraordinary
way.
As the new coordinator
for the Art Upstairs exhibit,
I am thrilled to be sharing
the art of local Estes Valley
artists. We desire that our
exhibits be a celebration of
collaboration between community and individuals, telling a story from the perspective of people you may
know and bump into every
day as you get your morning coffee, run errands,
and live in this place we all
call home.
The first Art Upstairs
exhibit of 2015 is a splash
of strong colors and emotions from local artist
Arthur Messal. His works
encompass various forms
of expressionism, repre-

or a

senting emotion, time, and

thought provoking commentary.
Arthur Messal is a longtime resident of Estes
Park. Both a photographer
and painter, he draws significant inspiration from
the entire Estes Valley and
surrounding wilderness.
The featured paintings
are about the expression of
emotion. Each piece is
rooted in an emotional context. Sometimes these are
raw emotions like love or
hope and sometimes they
are complex emotions like
those induced by certain
aesthetics. Each piece has
a story regarding this emotional context; feel free to
inquire if an explanation of
any pieces is of interest to
you. Some of the paintings
on display include:
Messy but Beautiful is
an abstract painting depicting the American Flag and
the complexity of our wonderful country. (Note the
off-white color intended to
represent early flags.)
Chairman Buddha is a
political commentary
blending Buddha and
Chairman Mao in a manner
that might make certain
viewers uncomfortable
even as Mao is revered by
many.

New Day is an abstract

piece is intended to be positive and uplifting.
Other pieces are Red

The paintings on display
