"It's a perfect time to learn about depression, and it won't cost you a dime," Ghelli said.

Ghelli said depression is not to be taken lightly. Take, for example, a man who had lost his job and believed he was losing his family stormed into Ghelli's workplace and threatened suicide. Ghelli coaxed the man into an office, then watched in horror as he pulled out a gun. "He said, 'I'm going to blow my head Please see DEPRESSION, Page EV6 you to take them seriously.

Jones The Arizona Republic Tempe Twenty-five years ago, Joaquin and Ramona Bustoz were rewarded for their years of serving lunchroom meals and sweeping gymnasium floors at Tempe elementary schools. An elementary school was named after the couple. Although Joaquin died in 1982, and Ramona last September at age 87, their family said Bustoz Elementary School remains a permanent monument to their hard work. Permanent, however, may be too long. Tonight, the Tempe Elementary School Board js expected to decide whether to close Bustoz.

The school, off Country Club Way south of the Superstition Freeway, is still educating students, but not enough of them. Declining enrollment is prompting the district to consider closing three schools. Bustoz is favored as the first to shut down. The Bustoz family, however, said the school and its family memories are worth saving. Joaquin was a handyman, who with his wife, Ramona, began working part time for the district in 1935.

Ramona was a cook at Rural and Broad-mor schools. "I thought Nana and Tata owned Tempe," said grandson Manny Bustoz, 37, 'cause they had all the keys." Joaquin and Ramona lived simply and charitably, their family said. The couple would feed hobos who rode the trains that ran behind their home. Ramona would make tortillas on a brick fireplace outside. "They weren't the type that'd just come home and sit in front of the TV," grandson David Bustoz said.

"They were probably some of my best friends ever." The two Bustoz cousins remember gathering with their family at their grandparents' house near Broadway and River roads every Sunday. Broadway was a main thoroughfare through Tempe, and the grandparents raised Please see BUSTOZ, Page EV5 INSIDE 17-year cable industry veteran will lead US West to digital world. Story, EV9. The landmark service will make the Valley part of telecommunications history, as US West will be the first phone company in the country to plunge into the cable and digital TV industry. And the Valley will be the first market.

US West's service became possible when the Telecommunications Deregulation Act of 1994 opened up phone and cable markets. Competitors are expected to follow suit. But in being the first, the bugs US West encounters as it rolls out the system, how it handles them and how much customers take to the new service in essence, the day-to-day workings of those in the Tempe building will be studied by rivals coast to coast.

The building will serve as ground zero for US West's new TeleChoice service, a cutting-edge blend of digital cable TV and high-speed Internet that will be piped into homes Valley-wide on existing phone lines. 3rd-graders taking teacher along to 4th EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the ninth in an occasional series about the challenges facing teachers today. The Arizona Republic has followed Brian Inskeep, a third-grade teacher at Lindbergh Elementary School in Mesa, throughout the school year, which ends today.

A steady Teen mom finds way to new life Refused to become statistic By Kelly Pearce The Arizona Republic MESA Don 't give up your dreams. This is only the beginning. The world is yours. On football fields across the East Valley this week, students and educators will offer similar words of wisdom.

Then, teenagers will receive paper emblazoned with fancy writing. Finally, the robed throngs will yank boards off their heads and send the boards skyward. It's graduation time, everyone. There are as many different stories of success as there are smiling graduates. These days, it takes more than brains to make it through those trying high school years.

Take Tamara James. For her, it took a tiny human being and a huge amount of determination. In ninth grade, at age 15, she became a mom. But instead of becoming a dropout, she turned her "F's" into "A's" and "B's." "Having my daughter changed my whole life around," the 18-year-old Westwood High School said. "I knew I could be so much more." As all graduating seniors in Mesa will do today, she will transfer the tassel on her hat from left to right, a stream of sweaty students carted stacks of textbooks, boxes of hamster paraphernalia and reams of white copy paper to Room 101.
