Justin Heinz, owner of Draft Sports Grill, put a lot of thought into the size and placement of all the huge flat-screen and projection TVs he would need when building out his bar two years ago.
He plotted the seating layout and literally sat in every chair in the place to ensure that all patrons would get an immersive, 360-degree viewing experience and that there wouldn’t be a bad seat in the house.
That kind of attention to detail has made Draft a hit with nearby Mesa neighborhoods and other East Valley sports fans who will drive a few extra miles to take in a big Chicago Cubs game or a wild UFC night.
“Our customers make us the best place to watch the game,” Heinz said. “We provide the great spot, and they provide the energy.”

“This was my first serving job,” she said. “I love it. The owners are amazing. The regulars are so nice. It’s a really fun place to work. There’s never any drama.”
A newcomer to hospitality when the restaurant opened two years ago – the small chain’s first location outside California –Sanchez was hired as a host.
But, a busy morning cafe in Mesa is inevitably going to end up short-staffed sooner or later, and Sanchez was pressed into serving. Now, Sanchez is a mentor for new servers. Her advice: Be yourself and don’t stress. A recipe for success.

Achallenging course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. in 1995. Las Sendas offers both daily fees and memberships. It’s known for its beautiful views and difficult undulating greens.
“Our views are spectacular and the golf conditions are pristine,” said Rick Crowson, director of golf. “It’s definitely a shot-making course. If you play the right tees, it’s fine for all levels of golf.”
Las Sendas sits well above Phoenix at an elevation of 1,800 feet and offers six different tee boxes. The course is considered semi-private, with memberships available, but tee times also are available to the public 30 days in advance.
“It’s a great challenge and a great test of golf,” Crowson said. Las Sendas gets 4½ stars from players on tripadvisor.com and a 91.8 percent recommendation rate.
Since most teachers at the East Valley Institute of Technology are recruited from business and industry, they’re accustomed to performance-based pay. And since EVIT is a school of choice, instructors have a lot of incentive to retain students, graduate them and place them in well-paying jobs.
“If our teachers are happy, our students are happy,” said EVIT Superintendent Dr. Sally Downey. “Our teachers and support staff are equal. Everybody pulls together. It’s what I’m most proud of.”
It’s a big reason why EVIT boasts a graduation rate of 98 percent – more than 20 percentage points higher than the state average – and two out of three go on to college. Within one year of graduating from one of EVIT’s more than 40 programs, 85 percent of students are in jobs, in college or in the military.

Sloan Park has been a home run for the city and the Chicago Cubs since opening in 2014 as baseball’s largest spring training stadium, with a 15,000-seat capacity. The only problem is demand still outstrips supply after the Cubs finally won a World Series in 2016, ending a 108-year drought.
Expect a great crowd, great weather but no bargains until the fall, when the Mesa Solar Sox of the Arizona Fall League take over the park and tickets are much cheaper.
When combined with revamped Riverview Park and the new Rio Salado Pathway, this makes for some strong recreational choices at one facility.
The park has several family-friendly features, with attractions for children of all ages, a community fishing lake and a 50-foot tall climbing tower. The pathway along the Salt River is surprisingly scenic and will soon connect Tempe Marketplace and the Loop 101 to Hohokam Stadium, the Cubs’ former longtime ballpark and now home to the Oakland Athletics.

When you lose a loved one, it is one of those times in life when you can feel lost, or adrift–not sure of which way to turn and how to make it through. You need to know that there’s someone there that you can trust, someone who feels like family. A funeral director who cares can make a huge difference in your comfort level, and allow you to the safety of knowing that your best interests are being considered. This is the benefit of choosing Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery for your final arrangements and those of your loved ones.
Family Owned and Operated
Mountain View Funeral Home understands the concept of family: since 1951, the Coury family have been operating the family funeral home under the guiding philosophy of being of service to members of the community in their time of need. Now managed by the Second and third generation of Coury’s, Mountain View Funeral Home is a Mesa, AZ tradition with professionally trained and licensed staff members all with the stated goal of ensuring your loved one receives the dignified memorial service that they deserve.
Community Education
A family funeral home takes services a step further by offering education before a loss as well as caring and compassion during a period of mourning. Funeral directors and their team will help you understand the meaning of different parts of the memorial
Family Funeral - Comfort From Trust
service, the differences between cremation and interment, and provide you with a wealth of additional options including beautiful touches such as a release of white doves after the service.
Your Personal Concierge
When a loved one passes from the mortal coil, you can feel overwhelmed with details, so another benefit that family funeral homes can offer is access to a concierge to help with everything from florists, hotels, restaurants and even car services. Our professional staff is available to assist with any special needs six days per week.
Finding the right fit for a funeral home is important; you want to know that not only is your loved one being treated with dignity, but that you and your family will feel comfortable and supported in your decisions during this time. Selecting Mountain View Funeral Home and Cemetery is one way to ensure that you are using a family funeral home who will go above and beyond your expectations.
We believe our work is a “mission of service” and it’s a privilege to help a family during the most difficult time in their life.

The blue Toro along with the MV with the Toro horns woven in is nearly as synonymous as the slogan Campus of Champions. Mountain View, which has won 59 total state champions in 18 different sports, has long been associated with all those symbols.
Mountain View was considered the standard in sports athletics in Arizona for a long time, and while there has been a bit a step back on the field, the Toro remains strong. It’s a great caricature that epitomizes what it means to be part of the Mountain View community.

It’s all career training, all the time. There are no sports, no cheerleaders, no band, no drama club and no lecture-only classes, and most students say they prefer that kind of focused environment.
“We focus all the decisions we make on what’s good for the students,” said Dr. Sally Downey. “That’s it in a nutshell. They come here to find their passions.”

Brad Breuer has been standing in front of Guerrero second-graders for three years, and it has become pretty clear he has their attention.
And that of their parents, and the rest of the Guerrero community.
Breuer, who is in his eighth year of teaching, was picked as the best elementary school teacher in Mesa.
According to his bio on the Milken Educator Awards website, Breuer uses innovative teaching techniques to incorporate his musical background and has demonstrated that students with significant challenges can achieve at very high levels.
In 2009, 89 percent of his students met or exceeded proficiency in reading on state assessments and 82 percent of his students did so in math.
In 2010, 95 percent met or exceeded proficiency in reading (compared to the school average of 51 percent). With almost all his students coming from non-native-Englishspeaking families, and 95 percent qualifying for free or reduced-price lunches, Breuer’s talent for teaching is undeniable.
