Cisneros ends
productive term
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — When
four-term San Antonio Mayor
Henry Cisneros leaves office next
spring, it will close a chapter on one
of the most productive, high-profile
administrations ever seen by his na
tive city.
The popular Hispanic mayor
bridged a gap between rich, white
businessmen and poor Hispanics
and almost overnight became a na
tional political figure. Ivy League
educated, he also helped attract nu
merous high-tech industries to a city
where the Alamo and the River
Walk continue to attract millions of
visitors and billions of dollars each
year.
Retired Gen. Robert F. McDer
mott, chief executive officer of
United Services Automobile Admin
istration and one of the city’s top
business leaders, said Cisneros was
able to lead the city because of ex
traordinary talents.
“Nobody contemplated that a
mayor of San Antonio would do
what he has done and he’s done it by
the sheer force of his commitment to
getting things done through his in
tellect, his charisma, his leadership
and his salesmanship,” McDermott
said.
“I think Henry has given us all
enough to do. I think we will con
tinue in that direction and complete
those projects, such as developing
tourism and developing the research
park and getting ourselves involved
in manufacturing because that’s
where the jobs are,” McDermott
said.
Most civic leaders agree that Cis
neros’ departure signals a continua
tion, not the end, of growth for the
nation’s ninth-largest city. Some also
say Cisneros — interviewed as a pos
sible running mate by Walter Mon
dale in 1984 — is sure to return to
politics soon.
Cisneros’ own comments about his
decision to leave the mayoral job for
an as yet unknown private venture
seem to support that prediction.
“It is now time for me to under
take the disciplines of reading, re
flecting and writing, the most effec-
Pilot expects
memory flood
on Discovery
SPACE CENTER (AP) — Air
Force Col. Richard Covey expects to
be flooded with memories of the
Challenger astronauts when he
climbs aboard Discovery for the first
shuttle launch in more than 2 years.
“I’m sure as I crawl in, I’ll think
about the crew crawling into the or-
biter and strapping in and sitting on
the launch pad — what they were
thinking, what they were doing,”
said the veteran astronaut who was
picked to pilot Discovery.
Covey, a former Air Force fighter
and test pilot, also guided Discovery
three years ago on a mission billed
by NASA as its most successful flight
yet.
He said he is confident the up
coming mission also will be a success
but realizes his family is concerned
because of what happened to Chal
lenger.
“It would be strange for them not
to be. The last time anybody saw a
space shuttle come off the launch
pad it blew up,” Covey said. “You
don’t forget about it.”
And the 42-year-old Covey said
he too will reflect on the Challenger
astronauts.
“I’ll also be knowing that they
would be pleased that we have got
ten back to the point where we are
going to fly again.”
His wife, Kathleen, a real estate
agent, and daughters Sarah, 14, and
Amy, 12 will attend the launch.
Coping with the risks of space
flight at the Covey household
doesn’t involve a lot of talk about it,
he said.
tive ways to bring precision to
concepts, to originate new and better
ways to build the future,” he said in a
recent interview.
“I am at heart a public service-
oriented person, and I want that
service to be based on solidly-formed
ideas for a new time and on what I
can contribute that is unique and
creative,” he said.
The 41-year-old mayor also wants
to spend more time with his young
son, who suffers from abdominal
disorders, and provide for his teen
age daughters’ future education
needs.
The mayor’s job pays $5,000 a
year.
Cisneros will leave behind a com
munity now debating a proposed
$160 million domed multi-use sta
dium, a regional water plan, a pro
posed reservoir that opponents say
will provide inferior drinking water
to poor residents and a public-pri
vate education plan that encourages
high school students to stay in school
so they can receive scholarships and
jobs.
Cisneros is praised by business
and city leaders, who say he used
charm and tough tactics to push
through the projects he wanted.
Some predict the next mayor may
not have it as easy.
Cisneros said he will work for the
next eight months as he always has
— long hours.

Woman enjoys life helping
youngsters in Salvation Arm
ORANGE (AP) — Surrounded by
shouting, screeching, shrieking chil
dren, Brenda Teal calmly smiles and
softly suggests that her young adults
tone it down a bit.
In an instant, the roar melts to a
murmur.
Teal, 34, is in charge, and quite
obviously in her element, as head of
the girls’ youth program at the Sal
vation Army.
“I was in the same group, the Sun
beams, when I was their age ,” she
said. “This is my neighborhood. I
was born here, and I know so many
of them.”
For three years, she has watched
over the Sunbeams, first-
through fifth-graders, and Girl
Guides, sixth grade through high-
school age, enrolled in the Army’s
youth programs — weekly meetings,
special parties and pageants, and the
Dallas youth camp.
And she’s done it as a volunteer,
without ever seeing a paycheck.
“As a kid, I was a babysitter for a
family down the street, and then I
was a Sunday School teacher,” she
said. “Then I worked for the Moth
er’s Day Out program. 1 guess I’m
just kid-oriented.”
She doesn’t know it, but her love
of children — and her ability to lis
ten to their problems as well as their
joys — is one of the reasons Salva
tion Army Capt. Bruce Williams
nominated her as volunteer of the
year, a contest accompanying
Orange County United Fund’s an
nual campaign.
According to Williams, Teal “is an
exceptional woman who makes it a
point to know (the girls) personally
so she can help them through their
difficult times. Usually when a child
is unruly or sad, there is a good rea
son and we have found that Brenda
usually knows where the problem
lies. Whether it is a home breaking
up, financial difficulties, abuse or
other problems, the children trust
her.”
Mrs. Teal said children have al
ways been important to her, never
more so than when she believed she
could not have them. “We tried
adoption, through a lawyer. But just
two months before we were sup
posed to get the child, the couple de
cided to keep it.”
It was six years after her marriage
to Leo 1 eal — and several early-pre-
gnancy tests later — that Brenda be
came pregnant.
“The first thing I did was to go
out and buy a big fity-cent pickle,"
she said.
Her daughter, Kim, is now 8, and
the Teals have a second daughter,
Brandi, 4.
When Teal thought it was time to
help Kim get adjusted to other kids,
she headed back to the Salvation
Army. But she wasn’t there long be
fore she decided they could use
some help. “The captain’s wife was
doing it all alone,” she said.
Her love of children does
tend to a carte blanche for inA
rum, however.
“Kids need discipline,” she
'll one child is loo rowdy,iih
the others. We can’t haveoiiiini
you don’t have discipline. Youc
talk down to kids.”
Besides, she said, the Sato
Army is also a church. “Wpmee
the back of a church, and we've
to have respect for that,” she said
It’s the church in which she
Leo were married.
16-year-old ex mayor
questions his future
CRABB (AP) — Brian Zimmer
man, the boy mayor who put Crabb
on the map when he was elected in
1983, is growing up.
He has traded his go-cart for a sta
tion wagon and is focusing on things
such as fishing, bowling and dating.
The 16-year-old isn’t even sure if he
wants politics to be part of his fu
ture.
“There’s a million things out there
you could do,” Zimmerman said. “I
want to do something that seems like
it’s worth doing, that makes a differ
ence.”
In a 1983 unofficial straw vote,
Crabb residents elected Zimmer
man, then 11, over two adult candi
dates to head the farming commu
nity of 250 people about 10 miles
southwest of Houston.
His unsuccessful battle to incorpo
rate Crabb and head off annexation
by neighboring cities brought him
international attention and his life
story became the subject of a PBS
movie titled “The Lone Star Kid.”
Zimmerman’s mayoral post lapsed
shortly after the incorporation battle
was lost. But his young political ca
reer will not be forgotten.
A junior high history book titled,
“We The People, Citizens and Their
Government,” scheduled for the
classroom in 1989, has a photograph
of Zimmerman sipping coffee at a
Paris mayors’ conference in
