She taught oil painting classes, and her work was seen around town and at the Vancouver Farm- ers Market. Her academic art training taught Bosch to paint with oil and acrylic on canvas. After buying 10 old windows at a garage sale, Bosch added them to her painting materials. She was known for her paintings on windowpanes. Her subjects were varied, with old barn scenes, vineyards, land- scapes and fruit still life selling fast. Bosch moved to the Long Beach Peninsula in 2014. Last summer her work was exhibited in The Cove Restaurant, a show that introduced Bosch to a new art-loving public. Her bold colors and happy subjects brightened our summer. Bay Avenue Gallery has been an art place for Bosch for the past two years. Two days each week she works in our studio. She has added clay sculpting to her artistic skills. Her work has been for sale in the gallery (her garden flowers and cell phone holders are her most popular).

Bosch N W and Long Beach, Washing- ton, and the organization claims nearly one million members nationwide FOR COAST WEEKEND Origin word nerd By RYAN HUME ELK [ƐLK] noun plural: elk or elks 1. Cervus canadensis: any number of species of large, reddish-brown deer of the family Cervidae native to North America and Eastern Asia. Also known as wapiti, cervus canadensis roosevelti, or Roosevelt Elk, roam Oregon and Washington and are the largest of the differ- ent subspecies. Bulls grow large, flat bursts of antler, which they shed annually. Males can weigh north of a ton, while cows generally weigh around 600 pounds. Elk in general are one of the largest land mammals of North America. 2. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: First established in 1868 JOHN DUDLEY PHOTO This picture, “Handsome Is” by John Dudley, of Gearhart, placed in the top 25 winners of the 2017 Coast Weekend Photo Contest. “A more hand- some couple than these two Gearhart elk, photographed at Little Beach, would be hard to find,” Dudley wrote. by a New York City theater company as a social club for actors. It eventually turned into a fraternal club dedicated to community service and currently has its national headquarters in Chicago. There are local lodges in Astoria, Seaside From the late Old English elh, eolh or elch. A cognate with the Middle High German elch, all from the Proto-Germanic elkh-, which related to both “deer” as well as a reddish color. Around the late 15th cen- tury the consonant H was replaced with a K, forming the modern spelling. The term wapiti is an Ameri- canization of the Shawnee Indian word, waapiti, which was first recorded in 1806 and means “white,” referring to the white rump of the beast. In Britain, the term “elk” actually refers to a moose and was improperly applied to the North American animal by European settlers. “Warrenton isn’t Gear- hart, where elk are the bane of a golf course, a protec- tive mother elk once men- aced beachgoers and people have reported being stuck in their homes or threatened in the streets. But some locals believe the Warrenton herd is turn- ing into a similar prob- lem, growing in size and becoming too comfortable in town. They worry about damage to property and safety on the road.” — Katie Frankowicz, “Elk concerns on the rise in Warrenton,” The Daily Astorian, Feb. 15, 2018 “In celebration of the 150th birthday of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Seaside Lodge will host an open house on Saturday, Feb. 10. All community members and families are invited to visit the lodge, take a tour, watch the Cub Scout Pine- wood Derby, enjoy a snack, play a game and meet Elks members.” — “Anniversary cele- bration for Elks,” Cannon Beach Gazette, Feb. 6, 2018 CW
