Nevada Briefing A daily look at people and events making news in Nevada. SUNDAY 2B DECEMBER 8, 1991 During an appearance here Friday, Wilder urged the federal government to look elsewhere for a site to store the nation's nuclear waste. "Unless you have the full concurrence of the authorities of that state and locality, the federal government should, in my judgment, find other places," Wilder said. Former Massachusetts Sen. Paul Tsongas and Nebraska Sen.

Bob Kerrey earlier questioned the site selection process even though their states are not directly affected. Wilder was in Las Vegas to speak to the 450-member National Black Caucus of State Legislators meeting at Caesars Palace. State Sen. Joe Neal will head up Wilder's efforts in Nevada. "We're not writing offany states," Wilder said.

"Bush is not invincible anywhere and David Duke takes some of that invincibility from him." Supreme Court rules against pardon for man in killing of wife CARSON CITY The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled 3-2 against Robert Kelch, member of a prominent southern Nevada family who won and then lost a pardon after being convicted of killing his wife. The majority ruling, by Justice Charles Springer, said the state Pardons Board gave Kelch his due process rights during a 1 987 hearing that canceled the panel's decision seven months earlier to ease his 20-year term to five years. Justice Tom Steifen concurred, and criticized the two dissenting justices for saying the high court has a built-in conflict of interest since all five justices serve on the Pardons Board. The governor and attorney general also sit on the board. Virginia woman has been convicted in federal court here of robbing three Las Vegas banks.

A jury deliberated six hours last week before finding Gregory Richard Barker, 35, guilty of the robberies, which were carried out in December of 1 983 and January and March of 1 984. Barker was arrested in Phoenix in April after he was featured on the "Unsolved Mysteries" show. He had been working in telemarketing sales under the alias Alex Graham at the time of his arrest. Inmate held in escape attempt JEAN A Jean Conservation Camp inmate's desire to see his girlfriend may prove costly, prison officials said Saturday. Officials said Chelmas Pollard, 27, walked away from the minimum-custody facility Friday night to meet his girlfriend at a nearby hotel-casino.

But they said the inmate went to the wrong hotel and allegedly tried to force his way into an occupied room. Security officers from the Gold Strike Hotel responded to the room and arrested Pollard after he allegedly tried to stab one of them during a struggle. Pollard, who was discovered missing from the facility at the regular 9 p.m. count, was booked into Clark County Jail for investigation of escape and assault with a deadly weapon. Prison officials said Pollard had been scheduled for a full discharge from his present sentence in September 1 992, but now faces the prospect of additional prison time.

He's serving a three-year sentence for possession of a controlled substance from Clark County. He drew the sentence in December 1 988, with the stipulation that it be served consecutively with an eight-year sentence that he already was serving for battery with a deadly weapon. Prison officials said Pollard was paroled from the eight-year term to his present sentence in February, but he'll now be referred to the Parole Board for a revocation of his parole. Candidate questions dump site LAS VEGAS Virginia Gov. Douglas Wilder has become the third Democratic presidential candidate to question the federal government's site selection process for a high-level nuclear waste dump.

The only site currently being considered is Yucca Mountain, about 1 00 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Nevada's governor and entire congressional delegation oppose the site. The Gazette-Journal incorrectly reported Saturday that U.S. District Judge Bruce Thompson issued a ruling in a case in which the William F. Harrah estate may receive a 1 2 million refund from the Internal Revenue Service.

Klenk argued the voucher idea When You Need 32T231 State legislators consider options in education A LAS VEGAS (AP) A Nevada legislative committee has been told that programs offering parents more choice in how their children are educated are growing in popularity across the country.

The committee was told this week that magnet schools, easier transfers between schools and allowing juniors and seniors to take college courses for high school credits were among options gaining public support. Wisconsin state Rep.
