Lawrence, in his wheelchair, often can be seen in Kistenmacher's company on the streets of Jackpot. "We're frequently out. He likes to go to the golf course or come, to work with me where he can be with his friends." Kistenmacher works as a pit boss at Cactus Pete's.

Because the RSVP grant has been reduced slightly from the $32,000 appropriated this year, Bennett says that he will have to watch the program's expenditures carefully. Still, he hopes to avoid cutting services or benefits to the volunteers. TWIN FALLS The Retired Senior Volunteer Program at the College of Southern Idaho has received a $29,000 federal grant that will fund its operations through June 1984.

The RSVP office helps match senior citizens with institutions and programs that need volunteer help. "Wherever there are volunteer needs, seniors are involved," says Bruce Bennett, the RSVP director. About 500 Twin Falls-area senior citizens currently are working at hospitals, nursing homes, libraries and schools as a result of the RSVP program, Bennett says. Most of them help out at senior-citizen centers, he says. The grant money is used to pay the salary of Bennett and an assistant, as Kreilkamp Continued from Page Bl Another function of Heartland is information.

Kreilkamp says that many people do not even know about the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, near Idaho Falls, or that it tests reactors there. "They don't know, and they don't want to know," she says. But facing up to fears of possible nuclear disaster is necessary, she says, in her breakneck-speed conversational style. "If we face it, we can change it." Kreilkamp's anti-nuclear views go beings" because they want weapons that could "kill off the entire species on this planet. They're literally insane." She talks in philosophy, she grew up in Twin Falls and is an astrologer by trade.

With little money, she founded Open Space magazine in Twin Falls some years ago. It was filled with poetry and other literary works, done by area residents. Kreilkamp has been on the road for the past six months, setting up distribution points for Heartland and talking with other activists. She says that she lets them know they are not alone in their views. The work fills her with joy.

"It's a religious experience," she says, without a particular religion but with an interdenominational message: "Love thy neighbor." And Kreilkamp has harsh words for those who equate nuclear weapons with a strong American defense. "They're not functioning as human beings" because they want weapons that could "kill off the entire species on this planet. They're literally insane." She talks with intensity about the need fpr a nuclear "freeze" now. Plans to place U.S.y. When she was 2, she says she was shocked into consciousness when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II.

When she was 2, she says she was shocked into consciousness when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II. "I thought the world would end in my lifetime." I can't see why they're waiting if they have it." If both sets of petitions are filed, one election estimated to cost $1,000 to $1,500 would be held in May. Once the petitions are filed, city clerk Edythe Widmer will have up to 10 days to certify the signatures as being those of registered yoters.

Upon certification, the affected city officials have up to five days to decide whether to resign or stand for the recall election. A recall election would be scheduled no less than 30 and no more than 40 days after the officials make their decision. "The day they file, we'll file," says Margaret Jones, one of the leaders of the second recall drive. "But the reason we're doing this is to try to save the city some money. It's so unnecessary because we've got good people In there, and they have accomplished quite a bit." Jones says she has collected more than 160 signatures, and some petitions still are being circulated.

Tuesday, Jones repeated her belief that Mack is having trouble getting the required number of signatures. "It's just been so quiet," she says. "I still have the same feeling because Petition Continued from Page Bl langford opposed those reappointments and criticized his colleagues, alleging they were not responsive to the public. Under Idaho law, the recall backers have 60 days from the time they take out the original petition to collect enough signatures to force an election. That deadline falls next Tuesday.
