Scrappy is a 20-pound chihuahua/hound mix with a heart as big as his ears—and trust us, those ears are epic. Sometimes they even get adorably stuck behind his head, and it's impossible not to smile. This sweet, medium-energy pup is all about building deep bonds. Once he trusts you, Scrappy becomes the ultimate cuddle buddy, happiest curled up beside you for a nap or offering his signature paw-shake. Scrappy has been in a foster home with a Pasadena Humane volunteer, and he’s gotten a great report. He’s fully house-trained, cratesavvy (especially with some calming tunes), and knows a few solid commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “crate.” Scrappy’s ideal match is someone patient, consistent, and ready to love a quirky, devoted companion who just wants to be near his person. If you're looking for a pint-sized pal with a giant personality and unforgettable ears, Scrappy might just be your perfect match.
Marble A517441
Meet Marble, a 1 ½ year-old German Shepherd mix who is full of potential. While she can be a bit nervous in new environments, Marble quickly shows her sweet, affectionate side once she feels safe. On a recent field trip, she leaned in for calm, reassuring pets and clearly appreciated the quiet companionship. Treats weren’t her thing that day, but gentle touch and a patient presence made all the difference—she’s truly a soft soul at heart. Marble did great on a short hike, staying close and responsive on leash while calmly navigating the trail. She wasn’t fazed by squirrels or children she passed, she was just a good girl doing her best. Afterward, she chose the shadiest, most peaceful spot on Occidental’s campus to relax and watch the world go by, clearly savoring the calm. Marble is looking for a quiet, adult-only home with no other pets, where she can feel secure and continue growing in confidence. She’s a sensitive, intelligent girl who will thrive with patient guidance, consistent routines, and lots of love. If you’re someone who enjoys the outdoors but also knows the value of a shaded spot to just be, Marble could be your perfect match.

James B. Milliken, University of Texas chancellor, named UC president
James B. Milliken, chancellor of the University of Texas system and a veteran leader in higher education, has been named the next president of the University of California's system of 10 campuses, it was announced Friday.
Milliken's appointment follows a six-month search to find a successor to UC President Michael V. Drake, who has served since 2020 and will step down on July 31.
"The University of California is universally regarded as the preeminent public research university in the world, and I am deeply honored to have an opportunity to join the many talented faculty, staff and campus leaders in their vital work," Milliken said in a statement. "It is more important than ever that we expand the education, research, health care and public service for which UC is so widely admired and which has benefited so many Californians."
Milliken, 68, has spent more than 25 years leading major public university systems, taking top posts in both deeply conservative and liberal states.
"Chancellor Milliken embodies the qualities and leadership experiences the University of California
By City News Service
community needs at this moment," said Janet Reilly, chair of the UC Board of Regents. "He understands how critical UC's contributions are to the state and the country, and he has decades of experience leading public institutions during times of unprecedented change in higher education."
At the University of Texas, Milliken launched a major initiative to fully cover tuition and fees for eligible students from families earning under $100,000, officials said. Under his leadership, the system saw record-high enrollment, low student debt and nearly $5 billion in annual research spending.
UT's health network, which includes seven medical schools, ranks among the largest health care providers in the country.
Before taking the helm at the University of Texas in 2018, Milliken served four years as chancellor of the 25-campus City University of New York.
A native of Nebraska, he previously spent nearly a decade leading the University of Nebraska system and six years as a vice president in the 16-campus University of North Carolina system.
In a statement, Drake said, "Chancellor Milliken has the depth of wisdom
and experience to handle the challenges and opportunities of this position. I have great confidence in both his leadership and his commitment to the University's enduring values."
His appointment, announced Friday by the UC Board of Regents, comes at a tense time for the system, as universities nationwide face attacks from President Trump over "woke" ideologies and cuts to federal research funding critical to their mission.
"Chancellor Milliken's distinguished career and lifelong commitment to public education prepares him to lead the University of California in this new era," said UC regent Carmen Chu. "As the University evolves, it is critical we engage leaders adept at navigating change and positioning the institution for long-term success."
Milliken will assume his role as UC president on Aug. 1, with a Board- approved annual salary of $1,475,000, university officials said.
UC's system serves 299,000 students across 10 campuses, six academic medical centers and three affiliated national laboratories. Southern California campuses are in Los Angeles' Westwood area, Irvine, Riverside and UC San Diego.

Burbank PD arrest man for allegedly preying on minors
On March 23, 30-year-old Ivan
Hernandez of Valley Village was arrested and booked on charges of child endangerment and possession of nitrous oxide. The arrest followed a call for service and subsequent investigation into suspected drug activity, during which Hernandez was found in his vehicle with an underage female. During the follow-up investigation, detectives determined that Hernandez had been providing nitrous oxide, marijuana, and alcohol to underage females in exchange for sexual acts. He allegedly used Instagram to locate and lure victims, arranging to meet them for the purpose of trading drugs and alcohol for sex. Hernandez is also believed to have frequently recorded these encounters with the underage females on his cell phone. On March 25, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed multiple felony charges against Hernandez, including three counts of unlawful sex with a minor under 16, two counts of arranging to meet with a minor for lewd purposes, and one count each of child endangerment, oral copulation of a minor under 16, lewd or lascivious acts with a minor 14 or 15 years old, and possession of child sexual abuse material. Hernandez is currently being held without bail and is awaiting his next court appearance.

‘Empty the Shelters’ event at all RivCo shelter locations ends May 15
BISSELL Pet Foundation, a national nonprofit dedicated to ending pet homelessness, is once again prompting a nationwide call for adoption through its “Empty the Shelters" event, running through May 15. Riverside County Department of Animal Services (RCDAS), will participate through fee-waived adoptions, sponsored by BISSELL Pet Foundation. With RivCo shelters experiencing overcapacity of large breed dogs, there is an urgent need for adopters to help reduce the number of dogs in kennels. More dogs are coming in than leaving, and there are over 1,000 dogs currently across the shelter system. Feewaived adoptions include vaccinations, microchips, I.D. tag and spay and neuter services for all RivCo adopted pets. Staff is available on-site to help answer questions and match potential adopters with a pet who fits their lifestyle and needs. To view adoptable pets, visit www. rcdas.org/adoptable-pets and for more information, email shelterinfo@rivco.org.

Pasadena Comic Con kicks off the summer with stars galore
By Fabiola Diaz fdiaz@beaconmedianews.com
As Los Angeles recovers fromdevastating wildfires this winter, Pasadena Comic Con aims to kick off the summer season on a joyful note May 24 at the Pasadena Convention Center.
Traditionally the first convention of the year, event promoter Scott Zillner wisely decided to reschedule the January event to allow LA County residents to recover from the Eaton and Palisades fires. As Los Angeles gets back on its feet and ushers in summer, Zillner, a passionate collector, is ready for everyone to enjoy this thoughtfully curated show full of nostalgia and star power.
Pasadena Comic Con will feature voice acting talent like Tom Kenny, the voice behind beloved characters SpongeBob SquarePants and the Mayor in “The Powerpuff
Girls”; retired professional wrestler Sgt. Slaughter, the voice and inspiration behind the Sgt. Slaughter character on the “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero” animated series and comic books; Charles Fleischer the voice of Roger Rabbit; and Kat Cressida, known for voicing Dee Dee on “Dexter’s Laboratory,” Jesse the Cowgirl, Princess Leia on multiple “Star Wars” videogames and Constance Hatchaway in “The Haunted Mansion” rides. The event will also feature actors Sam Jones, known for playing the title character in the 1980 film “Flash Gordon” and for starring in the TV series “The Highwayman”; Kel Mitchell, best remembered for “All That,” “Good Burger” and “Kenan & Kel”; and “Growing Pains” star Jeremy Miller,
among many others.
“It is a large show but jam packed into one day of excitement and fun,” said Zillner. “That keeps the energy high for the entire day as you attempt to do everything before it is over.”
General admission tickets, with doors opening at 10 a.m., are $15 if purchased in advance or $20 at the door. For an extra hour of fun, early bird tickets are $25 if bought in advance or $30 at the door. VIP tickets are $80. Gift bags will be distributed at all ticket levels while supplies last.
To purchase tickets, visit pasadenacomiccon.com/ tickets.
Parking for the Pasadena Convention Center can be found at 175 S. Euclid Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101 for a daily flat parking rate of $15.

sentenced to the "secure youth treatment facility" to determine eligibility for step down programs or the state’s Pine Grove Fire Camp.
Another commission recommendation was to move girls and "genderexpansive" youth awaiting sentencing to the Dorothy Kirby Center in Commerce and hasten transfers to no more than two days for detainees who have already been sentenced to courtordered placements.
"In the absence of a clear, transparent, and community-informed plan from our struggling Probation Department, we must rely on the leadership of the Probation Oversight Commission and the meaningful solutions they've developed in collaboration with county stakeholders and the public," Horvath said in a statement. "None of the options before us are perfect, but doing nothing — or simply moving forward with Probation's inadequate proposal — is unacceptable. I fear we will replicate the same failures in new locations at a time when our youth are counting on us to provide the care and rehabilitation they deserve."
The Board of Supervisors' approved motion
directs Viera Rosa to assess the oversight commission recommendations and report back to the commission in writing or verbally at the panel's upcoming meeting Thursday.
In a statement Friday on the department's depopulation plan submitted for the court's consideration, Viera Rosa said, "This is a responsible and thoughtful step forward that reflects our commitment to court compliance, operational reform, and youth rehabilitation. While this is not a final plan, it represents a strong foundation to realign youth with the right programs and services — and do so in a way that brings lasting, systemwide improvements.”
In December, the Board of State and Community Corrections declared Los Padrinos unsuitable to house youth detainees because of alleged staffing shortfalls and other deficiencies. However, the county had no viable alternative to house the youth detainees and has continued to operate the facility in defiance of state regulators shutdown order.
The Probation Department has appealed the BSCC's unsuitability ruling,
asserting that improvements have been made, but regulators have upheld the closure order.
Management and operational issues have plagued Los Padrinos since it hastily reopened two years ago to house detainees from Central Juvenile Hall in Boyle Heights and Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar. The BSCC ordered the county to close both of those facilities. Since the reopening, Los Padrinos has suffered from short-staffing, escape attempts and allegations of violence among detainees — in some cases while probation officers allegedly stood by and failed to stop fights.
In March, 30 probation officers were facing criminal charges involving alleged cases of youth detainee violence at the facility. According to prosecutors, probation officers would stage "gladiator fights" among the detainees. California Attorney General Rob Bonta's office alleged 69 fights were allowed to occur involving youths at Los Padrinos between July and December 2023.
