On Thursday afternoon, June 5, a group of 3 girls and 2 boys rode their bikes north on Whittier as they left Ellenberger Park. The 14-year-old boys turned east at the next block only to be called back by the girls who had been surrounded by at least a dozen older boys on bikes. The two boys returned to help the girls.
After being punched in the head multiple times, the group forcibly took a bike from one of the boys. While most of the group left with the stolen bike, two members stayed back to prevent the victims from calling for help until the group was gone. A police report has been filed.
Two weeks prior a 14-year-old boy was intimidated by a group of 4 older boys (not the same ones) while he was walking with a group of girls near the NW corner of Ellenberger . An officer patrolling nearby pulled up to the group causing the older boys to take off.
Inquiry is being made into the level of security at the park. It appears we need to press for more.

Spending time with artists has helped many to formulate new perspectives. For the wealthy, it has always been possible to buy lessons from the leading artists of the day who didn't earn enough from making art to support themselves. Some art students traveled to Europe to gain that exposure. Without the need to earn a living, wealthy artists could indulge in whatever creative work inspired them until something useful developed.
For the not-so-wealthy, schools often provided the basics through studying art produced by others and developing fundamental skills like drawing live models. From the Renaissance on, male artists often supported themselves by serving as assistants to established male artists. In the 19th century, women began painting in large numbers, and many earned a living by copying masterpieces in museums like
