Williams’s The 2018 US Open final between Serena Williams and
Naomi Osaka will be remembered for all the wrong
reasons.
US Open fight The match was guaranteed to make history no matter
what. Williams was gunning for her 24th Grand Slam
tournament win, a number that would have tied the all-
with umpire time record for the most Grand Slam singles tournament
wins in history. And Osaka was hoping to be the first
Japanese player in history to win a Grand Slam.
Carlos Ramos During a pivotal pocket of the second set, chair umpire
Carlos Ramos charged Williams with three code
violations, abruptly shifting the momentum of the match.
The first violation saw Ramos warn Williams for receiving
coaching in a moment that set off a ripple effect: Williams
contested the warning and continued playing, but before
the match was over, she had busted her racket, called the
umpire a thief, and received two scoring penalties.
In the blink of an eye, the score went from Williams being
down 4-3 to her being down 5-3 and serving to stay in
the championship. Things progressed so quickly that
Osaka didn’t seem to realize what was happening on the
other side of the court.

11 FROM THE ACADEMY TO ABSTRACTION Fafi Melguizo Fafi Melguizo is a native of Havana, Cuba, although with Spanish roots that brought a blend of Galician and Cataluñan cultures into her life. She moved at an early age to Miami, Florida and New Orleans, Lousiana, and continued to move with her family to different parts of Mexico where she was inspired to depict the beauties of that country through her upcoming art career which she started in Brownsville, Texas. Fafi began her art education with Mrs. Maria Elena P. Bouchard who contributed the foundation of her techniques. Throughout the years, through her involvement at the Brownsville Art League, she was able to participate in many workshops with well-known artists such as Oris Robertson, Jim Schaefer, Ben Stahl, and Don Cinconi. Judy Soendker was also her instructor as well as presently working with Joaquin Garcia Quintana who has contributed to Fafi´s evolution into a more contemporary style. During the past two decades, Fafi has participated in many art exhibitions, solo shows, and art galleries in different Texas cities, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Monterrey and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. In 2012, Fafi did a solo exhibition at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Arts, called “Chroma of my Memories”. Through the years she has evolved her style and her practices to reflect her environment, her travels, and her blended culture that inspires her every day.

13 Oktober Fest Join us for beer, food, music, fun, and dance. The festival will take place on Casa Grande. History Of Oktober Fest Crown Prince Ludwig, later to become King Ludwig I, was married to Princess Therese of Saxony- Hildburghausen on 12th October 1810. The citizens of Munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates to celebrate the happy royal event. The fields have been named Theresienwiese (“Theresa’s fields”) in honor of the Crown Princess ever since, although the locals have since abbreviated the name simply to the “Wies’n”. Horse races in the presence of the Royal Family marked the close of the event that was celebrated as a festival for the whole of Bavaria. The decision to repeat the horse races in the subsequent year gave rise to the tradition of the Oktoberfest. Halloween Join us if you dare at Las Palmas & Agave Grill for a frightfully, spooktacular evening filled with wicked cocktail specials & a costume contest. Prizes will be given to the best individual costume & couple costume! History Of Halloween Halloween is an annual holiday celebrated each year on October 31, and Halloween 2018 occurs on Wednesday, October 31. It originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints; soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a day of activ- ities like trick-or-treating, carving jack-o-lanterns, festive gatherings, donning costumes and eating sweet treats.
