Nevada Briefing A daily look at people and events "Taking news in Nevada. SATURDAY 2B APRIL 27, 1991 Barker is charged in the 1 983 robbery of the First Western Savings and Loan branch at the Boulevard Mall and two 1 984 robberies at a Valley Bank branch here. He was released on bond in 1 984 and failed to make a court appearance. Las Vegas FBI special agent James Welter said Barker is also wanted on a murder charge in Prince William County, in the April 1982 killing of Hilda Roche. Barker is also being questioned about the death of an FBI agent's daughter in Tucson in 1973.

Thursday. Cadet Robert Pierce received the UNR President's Medal, the Lt. George M. Wisham Jr. Memorial Scholarship for $500 and was a Distinguished Military Graduate.

He was picked for the scholarship by fellow cadets for being the senior cadet they would most proudly follow into battle. Cadet Joanne Farris received the Reserve Officers i Association Plaque for outstanding military and academic leadership and the American Legion Awards Gold Medal for Scholastic Excellence for being the senior cadet with the highest grade point average. Pierce works part-time for the Nevada Army National Guard in Carson and Farris is assigned to the 1 06th Public Affairs Detachment in Carson City. The Truckee-Carson Irrigation expects to provide 30 percent of the normal allotment to farmers this summer, meaning 70 percent less water will flow back into the aquifer. "It's impossible to say there won't be an effect," said Michael Anderson of the state Engineer's office.

Anderson said it was impossible to predict how much of an effect the reduced irrigation water might have on the wells because a volume of data on the subject is scattered over time. "We've had some wells go dry in the past, back in the early '70s, but those wells were extremely shallow," County Manager Bjorn Selinder said. Fallon should have plenty of water this summer and will be able to help those who don't, according to Mayor Robert Erickson. "The aquifer we draw from is tremendous in size. There's been no drop in it since the city began drawing from it," he said.

Erickson said water would be available in town for people who run out, and supplies could be delivered in sanitized trucks like those used for milk. Man wanted in killing arrested LAS VEGAS FBI officials say a man wanted in three Las Vegas bank robberies and the killing of a Virginia woman has been arrested in Phoenix after a TV viewer tipped authorities. Gregory Richard Barker, 44, was arrested at an office complex Thursday by Phoenix police and the FBI. Barker was featured on the televsiion show "Unsolved Mysteries" Wednesday night and recognized by a woman who worked in a nearby office. Flag flying without approval CARSON CITY Nevada's state flag has been waving without formal legislative approval for 62 years, lawmakers were told Friday.

Senate Government Affairs members agreed Friday to a bill that would change the flag that had been approved only by the Assembly and not the state Senate in 1929. Later legislatures either haven't noticed the error or simply haven't thought it was worth the trouble to change it. "The 1929 Legislature basically screwed up," state Archivist Guy Rocha told the committee. "And for some unknown reason this mistake appears to have gone undetected for some 60 years." Rocha discovered the statutory error while researching SB396, the measure that would spruce up the state flag by untangling the letters spelling "Nevada" from their jumbled positions. Rocha said senators agreed in 1 929 to a flag without the state name and later accepted an amended version that neatly spelled out "Nevada" below sprays of sagebrush.

But an Assembly amendment, never approved by senators, produced the current flag with the jumbled letters, Rocha said. Farmers may be left high, dry FALLON Farmers and other water users outside of Fallon could face dry wells late this summer because of a lack of irrigation to replinish the ground water. Group to build low-cost housing RenoSparks Metro Ministry in ites the public to celebrate the beginning of an organization that builds low-cost, energy efficient homes it sells to the "working poor" at no profit and no interest.
