SAFETY
New police station to be built west of Fraternity Row The station will be built in the El Dorado Park area By Ron Camacho @ron_camacho4
A new Fresno Police Department satellite station is scheduled to open near El Dorado Park and is expected to bring more security to the area. The El Dorado Park neighborhood is a concern among many students due to crime. The satellite station is expected to decrease crime and help students feel more secure, said Fresno City Manager Bruce Rudd. He said the satellite station, scheduled to open in 30 to 60 days, will bring a larger police presence to the area. El Dorado Park is located west of campus, near Bulldog Stadium and Fraternity Row. Its boundaries are Bulldog Lane in the south, Barstow Avenue in the north, Fourth Street in the west and Sixth Street in the east. “Anytime there’s an increase in physical police presence, it raises awareness and provides a sense of safety for the community,” Rudd said. He also said the city will implement its neighborhood revitalization program in the area. The new station will give officers a place

to write police reports and take breaks between patrols. “It allows officers to have a home base, to refresh themselves,” said Fresno City Council President Paul Caprioglio, who represents the Fresno State and El Dorado Park areas. “Fresno State is important, and I believe [a satellite station] will bring more security for Fresno State students.” Caprioglio said, “It absolutely will reduce crime.”
Although the new station is scheduled to open somewhere near El Dorado Park, the exact location has not yet been identified. Rudd said the station will be around 700 square feet. Caprioglio said it will cost around $50,000. This is not the first time the El Dorado Park area has had a police satellite station. A satellite station that acted as a base for motor units once operated out of Stone Soup, the nonprofit that runs social pro-
grams in a complex on Bulldog Lane. Rudd said it was shut down eight years ago due to business disagreements. In addition to increased police presence, the campus police department plans to continue its patrols in the El Dorado Park area. University Police Sgt. Ruben Madrigal said he was unaware that the satellite sta

Academic-student employees deserve better
John Walker • Fresno Bee
Many of the caps of the graduates carried messages, such as the one by Kara Crookston, left, during Fresno State University’s 101st Commencement at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California, on Saturday, May 19, 2012.
By Sandip Roy @TheCollegian
As academic-student employees, we have been bargaining with the California State University system throughout the summer for a better contract for the last three years, in an attempt to end student poverty and homelessness. We are appalled and frankly surprised by the kind of disregard we have seen from the CSU administration about its academic-student employees and about students, in general. I was a tutor at the Fresno State Writing Center and a teaching associate at the Craig School of Business. We represent over 10,000 teaching associates, graduate assistants and instructional student assistants across the CSU system. We are your tutors, your instructors and your peers. CSU’s own statistics show that about 10 percent of students are homeless and about 25 percent don’t know where their next meal is going to come from. The sit-
uation for academic- student employees is even worse. Most of us work fewer than 20 hours on campus and are overwhelmed by our studies, all the while trying hard to make ends meet. Some of us become homeless and eat once a day. In fact, one of our own union organizers was homeless for a few months. Our lives are a constant struggle. We are responsible for getting schoolwork done while teaching, grading and looking after the welfare of our students, all the while drowning in student debt that we are going be paying well until our 40s. Academic-student employee wages and benefits are some of the lowest in the country. On some campuses, teaching associates get a full tuition waiver. At Fresno State, we just started getting our tuition partially waived after massive struggle. For most academic-student employees, the money we make we funnel back into the system through tuition and fees. The working conditions for academic-student employees are the learning con-
ditions of the students at Fresno State and on all CSU campuses. For example, if your tutor or your teacher for English 10 or your biology lab instructor is homeless and hungry, how are they going to give you a proper education? I know I personally wouldn’t have passed my undergraduate physics class without the help of my learning center tutor. If we haven’t eaten all day and are sleeping in our cars, how can we objectively grade your papers? When the CSU system allows its academic-student employees to fall below the poverty line, it allows the quality of education to fall below the acceptable standard. Research shows that academic-student employees influence the graduation rate of students. Fresno State’s Writing Center carried out a research study that showed that students who take a supplementary course at the writing center tend to graduate at a much higher rate than those who do not. These tutors, TAs and GAs directly contributed to the recent Fresno State
ranking of successful graduation rates. Academic-student employees have made these same arguments and have been asking CSU for a living wage and tuition waivers, but the CSU system refuses to acknowledge our struggles and wants to fix a gaping wound with a Band-Aid. At this point we are sad to see how little we seem to matter to the CSU system. Last week, a tutor at Fresno State asked me, “If they have the money, why don’t they want to let us eat something beyond CupaNoodles?” Today, I ask you the same question, and am asking you to stand in solidarity with your peers, tutors, graders and teaching associates and tweet at Fresno State President Dr. Joseph Castro (@JosephICastro) and the CSU chancellor (@calstate) and ask them to give the CSU academic-student employees a living wage so they are able to provide you with the quality education that you deserve and pay for.

BUSH FOR CLINTON?
ELECTION 2016
A Kennedy says ‘yes’ AJ Guel • Open source photo
President George H. W. Bush on the Texans sideline. Houston Texans vs. New York Giants Reliant Stadium. Houston, Texas. Oct. 10, 2010. Sources say the 41st President of the United States will vote for Hillary Clinton in November. In 1992, Bush was denied a second term in office with a loss to Hillary’s husband Bill Clinton who became the 42nd president.
The 41st president may cross party lines and vote for Hillary Clinton — the wife of his former opponent Bill Clinton By Michael A. Memoli
Tribune Washington Bureau/TNS WASHINGTON — The Bush family hasn’t exactly hidden its discomfort — and, in some cases, outright disdain — for Donald Trump. But like many Republicans, family members have been unwilling publicly to cross the aisle and state support for rival Hillary Clinton. Now, though, it appears a member of one American political dynasty has outed the patriarch of another, according to CNN. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., posted a photo on Facebook on Monday, showing her shaking hands with former President George H.W. Bush. The photo carried this caption: “The president told me he’s voting for Hillary!!” Townsend, a Democrat and the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, told Politico that the photo was taken Monday after she visited with the 41st president in Maine. “That’s what he said,” she said. Bush’s spokesman said in an email that the former president’s vote will remain private, and that he is refraining from com-
ment on the race until Election Day. Clinton’s campaign has noted that while every living Democratic president backs the party’s nominee, Trump lacks the public endorsement of both Presidents Bush. Jeb Bush, who lost the GOP presidential nomination to Trump, remains on the sidelines. Dr. Thomas Holyoke, Fresno State professor of political science, said the news is a big deal. “A former Republican president from the Republican Party’s most powerful family is backing a Democrat is always big news,” Holyoke said. “President Bush, however, is a very thoughtful man who understands and appreciates the subtle nature of politics. It is hard to imagine him supporting a bombastic loudmouth like Trump who draws gross generalities and is comfortable violating international norms.” The Bushes and the Clintons have become close since Bill Clinton defeated the elder Bush in the race for the White House in 1992, with Clinton often joking about his status as an honorary member of the family.

BOOK REVIEW
Tales of the whimsical, the empowering, ‘the Peculiar’ By Selina Falcon @SelinaFalcon
MASTERFUL Ransom Riggs, author of the New York Times best-selling “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” trilogy, gives us an inside look into peculiar history in “Tales of the Peculiar,” a collection of short stories gathered and annotated by peculiar scholar and former ward of Miss Peregrine, Millard Nullings (our “author” and a character we are introduced to in the first book of the trilogy). With its publication timed carefully in order to coincide with the release of Tim Burton’s film adaptation of “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” “Tales of the Peculiar” does its job of capturing the readers as they read through the history and stories of peculiars from around the world. As described by Millard Nullings, “each story is part history, part fairy tale and part moral lesson aimed at young peculiars.” Those moral lessons can be found in every tale, some being very peculiar-specific, but most being something everyone can take from. The empowering messages Riggs gives the reader through his whimsical and downright peculiar stories include: be proud of what makes you different; accept others for whom they are; and, ulti-
mately, you can choose who you want to be. Many of the short stories quickly became favorites of mine, but as someone who had read “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children,” perhaps my most favorite short story was “The First Ymbryne.” It offers background on the first ymbryne and the origin of time loops, something I wondered about throughout the first book of Riggs’ trilogy. From start to finish, “Tales of the Peculiar” kept me reading. Even before the forward, written by Millard Nullings, a note from the publisher is written in warning
that the book is “meant for peculiar eyes only,” and if you are not among the anomalous, the stories are “none of your business.” As if a letter from the publisher isn’t enough to show the great attention Riggs gave to the creation of “Tales of the Peculiar” – stories aside – the book itself is a thing of beauty with a dark green hardback cover embossed with gold designs, a builtin ribbon bookmark and full-page illustrations by Andrew Davidson. Typically I wouldn’t mention the design of a book, but this one was crafted so

specifically as to feel like something you’d take right off a peculiar’s shelf, it is worth mentioning. Important to note is the fact that one does not need to have read the “Miss Peregrine’s” trilogy in order to enjoy “Tales of the Peculiar,” nor is it a requirement to read before or after the trilogy. Whether you have or have not read the trilogy, “Tales of the Peculiar” comes at my highest recommendation because you will still find plenty of new and exciting peculiar information and characters within it.

No more ‘swipe to unlock’ IOS 10 REVIEW
By Jessica Johnson @iamjesslj
Gone are the days of swiping to unlock our iPhones. Oh the torture! Now we have to use Touch ID and “press home to open.” Possibly Apple’s systematic plan to wear out our current iPhone’s home button. Why? Because the iPhone 7 is available for purchase. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though; iOS 10 has great potential if we know how to utilize the new features. If you’re like me, I was anxiously awaiting the newest iOS. It’s like Christmas coming three months early. I found myself in my multimedia class downloading iOS 10. Hey, it is a multimedia class; I have to stay up-to-date on technology, right? Let’s dive into it. How does iOS 10 hold up against the previous iOS 9? The new operating system’s most notable new feature is arguably the Messages app. Why? The list goes on: emojis now have a new roundness and sheen to them; you can send your heartbeat, even a beating heart that breaks; live doodles to the receiver; the receiver’s photo is at the top of the open message; send GIFs made available by Apple; turn on or turn off read receipts in each conversation; send animations that appear throughout the entire conversation; and predictive text allows you to find emojis easier. The downfall: the Messages app tends to be a tad slower. Another way Apple quietly encourages purchasing the iPhone 7, for the
A10 Fusion Chip, “the most powerful chip ever in a smartphone,” according to Apple. Besides the Messages app, what else is new? Maps has had a major upgrade, in my opinion. How many times have you been on a road trip and while you’re driving on the I-5 someone asks, “What’s there to eat around here?” Well, you no longer have to end your route to look for an eatery nearby. You can now add an additional route to your trip with a quick search in the app. The Photos app has new features as well. The new “Memories” feature in the Photos app will group your phones into folders such as “Best of Last Three Weeks” (which is what I’m looking at on my phone right now). My advice: if you are feeling sentimental, do not look at Memories. It may make an album you would otherwise not want to look at such as: a trip with an ex, a bad family reunion, cat photos to remind you that you’re single or the 200 selfies you forgot to delete. If you are someone who checks emails on a regular basis, you may have noticed the Mail app groups a thread inconveniently. You must scroll through the entire thread before getting to the email you need. However the upside, filtering your emails is much easier now. There is a button in the bottom left corner of the inbox that will let you filter unread emails. Great feature to have if you are one of those people who will wait days on end to check emails. Let us circle back to the lock screen. Swipe left and what do you see? Your notification center. The new look is aesthetical-
GREAT
ly pleasing, in my opinion. You have each section divided up with slightly translucent soft-edged bubbles. You have previews of your Calendar, News and Weather apps along with Siri App suggestions, suggesting
apps you frequently use. Swipe right on the lock screen. Nope, it does not allow you to open your phone anymore. Swiping right now opens your Camera app. Because sliding up on the lock screen was too difficult, right? Sure. We want our “slide to open” back! Anyway, the Camera app is seemingly the only new feature. The button to change the direction of your camera is at the bottom right corner now. The new “Bedtime” feature found within the Clock app allows you to choose the time you wish to wake up every morning; choose the days to set the alarm for; decide how many hours of sleep you need each night; the option of a reminder of when it’s time to go to sleep; and what melody you want to wake up to. The feature will track your sleep patterns, analyze your motion when sleeping and calculate the amount of hours in bed. Are we all a bit concerned it might accidently count the amount of hours we are binge watching instead of sleeping? Coming from someone who has had an iPhone since the iPhone 3GS, the changes are noticeable, but not so much of a big deal that you need to go out and download the newest iOS. Heck, some people are even figuring out ways to revert to the previous operating system, iOS 9. Review of iOS 10 was based on the functionality of the operating system on an iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 7’s A10 Fusion Chip may drastically change the delayed functionalities that may occur on any other version of the iPhone. iOS 10 was made available for download on Sept. 13.

USU
Students to vote on new USU in the spring By Ron Camacho @ron_camacho4
In next year’s Associated Students, Inc. elections, students will vote on whether a new university student union (USU) should be built. The current USU opened in 1968 and was built to support the 10,000 students enrolled at Fresno State at the time. More than 24,000 students attended Fresno State last year, and the student union no longer has enough space, said members of the student board of directors. The directors say it’s time for a new student union. The board started the discussion in 2015 and plans to have students vote on the proposal in spring 2017. “We are very, very limited in space, and that’s what it all comes down to,” said Angelica Reyes, chairwoman of the board. “To meet the needs of our growing population, we’re going to have to grow in structure, as well.” Reyes said more than 300 student clubs and organizations are housed in the student involvement office, located on the USU’s top floor. “A new space will allow for

His Save Mart Center shows will be on Sept. 23 at 7 p.m., Sept. 24 at 7 p.m., Sept. 24 at 10:30 p.m. and on Sept. 25 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are still available. They are $65 plus a $3 facility fee and a $6.25 service charge for a total of $74.98.

bigger and better things,” Reyes said. Juan Guzman, board vice chairman, said more space for clubs and organizations can help students develop leaderships skills. “Everything that’s housed in the current building can do a better job with more space,” Guzman said. “We don’t have enough room for workshops that students can utilize to have big meetings and develop leadership skills.” A new USU would likely take the place of the Keats Building, which is located in front of the current USU and houses Taco Bell and The Bucket. Guzman said those restaurants would be temporarily lost during construction, though space for more restaurants would be available after the new student union is completed. The current USU would continue to operate during construction. Guzman said the building will stay, but the board has yet to decide its function after the completion of the new student union. The food court will likely remain open after a opening of a new USU. Reyes said the Keats Building was selected because it receives a high amount
of traffic and is in close proximity to the library and the current student union. “When it came to choosing the best location, we wanted to create this synergy between the different areas. Everything would be in close proximity to each other,” Reyes said. The new USU is planned to be 9,000 square feet and three stories. The project is still in its early stages of development, and floor plans may change. The board does not have a solid time frame of how long it will take to build the new student union. Collin Stewart, associate dean of student involvement, said a new student union will also benefit alumni. “It’ll increase the brand of Fresno State and will ultimately make your degree more powerful.” Stewart said. We said the board does not yet know how much the new USU would cost. He said the cost of tuition would likely increase after the new building is completed. “No one wants to pay more. We’re conscious of that.” Stewart said, “But for the value that you’d be getting and the new experiences that can be possible, it’s pretty remarkable.”

The new police satellite station should open up in the next 30 to 60 days POLICE from Page 1 tion was opening, but welcomed the increase in police presence. Madrigal said the campus police department has a close working relationship with Fresno police. “When you have more visibility and more officers out there, it’s just going to add to the overall security of the area.” Madrigal
said, “Whether it’s us or Fresno PD, we’re always there for the students.” Caprioglio said police patrols have already started to increase in the El Dorado Park area. He said police have recently made arrests related to reports of isolated apartments conducting illegal activity. Rudd said the station will make the neighborhood safer, but he thinks it may take time.
“Whether we will see an immediate decrease in crime is not yet known,” he said. The satellite station is not the only new station the Fresno Police Department is opening. In the city’s 2016-17 budget hearings, Council Members Oliver Baines and Esmeralda Soria persuaded Mayor Ashley Swearengin to open a new substation in the Tower District.
He added: “I hope the new USU will be the apex of the co-curricular and social experience. I hope the next generation of Fresno State students will have special experiences there. Maybe they’ll meet their best friend there or their future partner there. Maybe they’ll participate in a debate there that challenged them and helped them grow.” Reyes said current students could leave a legacy for future generations by voting for the new USU. “Students would be leaving a legacy for the current and future students.” Reyes said, “Think about the library, that’s something we didn’t get to vote on, but we got to benefit from it.” Reyes said it’s important that the entire campus comes together to make this decision. “This potential new student union is not going to happen unless the students want it to,” she said.

Across the pond...to the pound By Jenna Wilson @fsjennawilson
JW: Why running? AS: Well, I mean, I’ve been active my entire life. My family is very active. We’ve done any sport, really. We’ve done a lot of hiking and biking, but I always liked to run as a kid. I joined a club at home and was mainly doing running, but kind of doing everything, too, like jumping and sprinting. Because I have done so many endurance sports in my life, running just fit really well. If you’re stressed, you can just go and run and it’s really relaxing. It makes me feel really good. JW: If you weren’t participating in cross country, what sport would you be playing? AS: I would still do track and field because we do that too [in addition to cross country]. JW: Do you have any rituals or certain things you do to prepare for races? AS: Well, I listen to one certain song. I do that, but besides that it’s not like I really need to eat like, I don’t know, a certain meal. Well, I actually have the breakfast that I always eat. I always have eggs and toast. That’s kind of my thing, I guess. Other than that, not really too much aside from the normal routines we do in practice.
Nothing too special. JW: What song do you listen to? AS: I listen to Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Can’t Hold Us.” It’s like a seven-minute song, and it gets you really pumped up. I usually do that in the hotel, before we go to the track or to the course. JW: How did it feel to break the school record for the 6K? AS: It’s been my first cross country race in 1½ years. I didn’t race cross country last season. First, I didn’t even know that it was a school record until my coach told me, so it was very exciting and I knew it was a PR (personal record). Well, I really didn’t know the exact time, and then I talked to my coaches and they told me it was really fast. They also told me, ‘Oh yeah, by the way, it’s a school record, too.” I’m glad I can get that [record], too. JW: How did you hear about Fresno State? AS: I got recruited from Fresno State by Sean McManus, our old coach. He also recruited another girl from Germany, so it fit very well because I really liked the coach. I didn’t go on a recruiting (visit) so I didn’t really know what to expect here, but it just kind of fit having the comfort of another German girl on your side. The first year was very important to have someone else other than foreign people, I guess. It was good.
JW: What do you miss most about Germany? AS: Probably my family. I’m a big family person, and we are all very close: my cousins and, of course, my immediate family, my brother and my parents. We have a very close relationship. It’s probably what I miss personally the most. It’s not so much the food, or anything. I guess the smell. I really miss the smell, too. We get the white winters, and it’s just kind of nice. It’s not like Canada where it snows for like four months, but I don’t know it’s just the cold. I miss that. JW: What’s the best thing about California to you? AS: I guess that you can run outside in the spring and the fall in shorts and a T-shirt. I like that. You don’t need to, especially for running, have three layers of sweaters on, so that’s nice. The nature here with the mountains and the ocean right there, too. That’s something really nice, and I’m a big nature person so having access to the mountains in an hour or 45 minutes is really nice. JW: Do you have a favorite American food, or a food specific to California? AS: I’m not a picky eater, I kind of eat everything. I guess, lots of fruit. I mean we have a lot of fruit at home in Germany, too, of course. We import oranges and bananas

from everywhere because we just can’t grow that. I guess all the fresh fruit access at all times is nice, especially because we know it’s actually grown here and not imported. JW: What do you plan to do once you graduate? AS: I graduated with my bachelor’s last semester, so I’m now in my master’s program for civil engineering. I have 1½ years left. I’m going to get married next summer, so that’s a big step. We’re going to see where it takes us. Definitely working as a civil engineer and still being involved with Fresno State. Maybe next year when I’m not running anymore or I’m not eligible anymore, but still be involved here and with sports, in general. Then maybe not so much Central Valley after a few years because it’s just kind of hot for me here. Maybe northern California or some of the northern states. JW: What does it mean to you to be a Bulldog? AS: It’s good to be part of a great team like that, in general. Just all sports together, not just the cross country team or track and field. We are a very small cross country team, but just the whole atmosphere with all the sports together. I think it functions very well. Everyone has a winning attitude, and I like that.

’Dogs look to rock Hurricane By Daniel Gligich @DanielGligich
Coming off a 35-point road loss, Bulldogs head football coach Tim DeRuyter has a tough task at hand preparing the team to face the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The Golden Hurricane come
to Bulldog Stadium with a spread offense that will provide many challenges to DeRuyter’s defense, which struggled with many blown assignments the previous week against Toledo. “They have really good skill. They’re very balanced. They do a heck of a job with tempo, spreading you out sideline to sideline,”
DeRuyter said. Tulsa is Fresno State’s fourth and final nonconference opponent of 2016. The Bulldogs (1-2) begin Mountain West Conference play on Oct. 1 at UNLV Tulsa head coach Philip Montgomery leads the Golden Hurricane with a 2-1 record. Tulsa convincingly beat North Carolina
A&T last week, and has beaten Mountain West member San Jose State, 45-10. The Golden Hurricane’s only loss came in Columbus against the now No. 2-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. Montgomery is in his second season as head coach. Tulsa was 6-7 in 2015. Before Tulsa, he coached under Art Briles at Baylor as offensive coordinator. He was an integral part of Baylor’s transition in becoming one of the highest-powered offenses in the country. Although Fresno is going through a rough patch, Montgomery is not expecting to have an easy time, having faced DeRuyter before when they were offensive and defensive coordinators respectively.
“[DeRuyter] provides you some problems as he does a lot of things defensively, keeps you thinking, so we’ve got our hands full,” Montgomery said. The Bulldogs are hoping to avoid falling to 1-3 and enduring a similar fate to the nine-loss 2015 season. Although the struggles have persisted into 2016, DeRuyter sees a much different team that puts in greater effort. “This is a very different team than last year. When we poured through that tape, we wanted to make sure our guys continued to compete, continued to fight. We didn’t see guys loafing,” DeRuyter said. Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Bulldog Stadium. The game will be broadcast locally on 940 AM ESPN Radio.

Vin Scully: A humble ending to an iconic career
By Jessica Johnson @iamjesslj
Vin Scully, 88, is not worried about the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball franchise suffering without him. “A year or so, however long it takes, you’ll be history, and I know that,” Scully said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “Someone else will hopefully rise and have a great career in your place.” Scully has been with the Dodgers since 1950, when they were in Brooklyn, and continued his career with them once the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958. He was born in The Bronx and was raised in Washington Heights. Naturally, Scully grew up as a New York Giants fan before the team moved to San Francisco in 1958. Scully said of working a seasonal job at the post office, “We would spend all the time slotting and arguing about who was better, Duke Snider or Willie Mays.” That did not stop Scully from having a 67-year career calling play-by-play for the Dodgers. In 1958, the Los Angeles Dodgers became Southern California’s first Major League Baseball team. Many locals were inexperienced when it came to plays and how to interpret what was going on on the field, especially when the Dodgers initially played at the the Los Angeles Coliseum, holding exactly 37,607 more people than Dodger Stadium, which opened in 1962. Transistor radios were common among fans attending a Dodgers game at the Coliseum, making Scully and partner Jerry Doggett the regular voices of the Dodgers. What happened once the Dodgers were able to play in their own stadium? The transistor radios remained a tradition among fans even at Dodger Stadium because watching a Dodger game is not

the same without Scully’s play-by-plays, according to the eldest of fans. A couple of Scully’s most famous calls noted on the Baseball Almanac are: “All year long they looked to him [Kirk Gibson] to light the fire, and all year long he answered the demands. High fly ball into right field. She is gone! [pause] In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.” “Forget it,” Scully said referring to a home run. “Ladies and gentlemen, the Brooklyn Dodgers are the champions of the world,” he said of the 1955 World Series. “Let’s all take a deep breath as we go to the most dramatic ninth inning in the history of baseball. I’m going to sit back, light up and hope I don’t chew the cigarette to
pieces,” Scully said of the 1956 World Series, during Don Larsen’s perfect game. In 2015, Scully announced his plans for the 2016 season. He said, “I would say, realistically -- I don’t want any headlines -but next year would be the last one.” “How much longer can you go fooling people? Dear God, if you give me next year, I’ll hang it up. I do feel in my bones that will be enough. I’m sure the people will feel that will be enough, too. Enough is enough. Without a doubt, next year, my gosh, what’s that saying, talk about next year and make the devil laugh? I’m very wary of that.” In April 2016, the Los Angeles City Council voted to rename Elysian Park Avenue, Vin Scully Avenue. At the unveiling of the newly named avenue, emcee Charlie Steiner said, “In a city
of stars, we can make a pretty compelling case that Vin is the biggest and most popular of them all.” Scully said to the fans in attendance, “I don’t know you, but I miss you. You have been so kind… just to hear you, your enthusiasm, the voices that come roaring out of the stands, there’s nothing like it.” Sept. 19 marked the beginning of Scully’s last Dodgers-Giants broadcast at Dodger Stadium. He will bid farewell to his iconic career in San Francisco on Oct. 2, during his last Dodgers-Giants broadcast at AT&T Park. “I don’t want people to think this is Vin’s last whatever,” he said. “I just want them to enjoy the Giants and the Dodgers.”
