Knowing when that has been done to the glory of You, Lord, all other things needed will be granted unto us through Your grace.

MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES

    By Assemblymen Dini, Anderson, Angle, Arberry, Bache, Beers, Berman, Brower, Brown, Buckley, Carpenter, Cegavske, Chowning, Claborn, Collins, de Braga, Freeman, Gibbons, Giunchigliani, Goldwater, Gustavson, Hettrick, Humke, Koivisto, Lee, Leslie, Manendo, Marvel, McClain, Mortenson, Neighbors, Nolan, Oceguera, Ohrenschall, Parks, Parnell, Perkins, Price, Smith, Tiffany, Von Tobel and Williams:

    Assembly Resolution No. 7—Memorializing third generation Elko County rancher and long-time Nevada Legislator, Norman D. Glaser.

    Whereas, The members of the Nevada Assembly note with sadness the passing of long-time Nevada Legislator Norman D. Glaser on December 27, 1999; and

    Whereas, This native Nevadan was born on April 4, 1921, to Clarence and Margaret Kathryn (Layer) Glaser; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser attended the “Little Red School House” in Halleck, Nevada, before graduating from Elko High School in 1939 and receiving a degree in Agricultural Engineering from Oklahoma State University in 1943; and

    Whereas, Following his marriage to Nelda Marie Lancaster on August 7, 1943, in Oklahoma City, Norman Glaser served as an Engineering Officer for the United States Navy in the Pacific during World War II; and

    Whereas, After completing his service with the Navy, Norman and Nelda Glaser returned to the family ranch near Elko where he went into partnership with his father and brother, Arthur, and later formed Glaser Land and Livestock Company with his brother; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser served as a member of the Elko County School Board before being elected to the Nevada State Assembly in 1960; and

    Whereas, During his six terms as a State Assemblyman, Norman Glaser served as Chairman of the Assembly Committees on Ways and Means and Education, as well as others, and served as Speaker pro Tempore during the 1963 and 1965 sessions; and

    Whereas, In 1976, Norman Glaser was elected to the Nevada State Senate, representing the Northern Nevada Senatorial District, which included Elko, Eureka, Humboldt and Lander counties; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser served two terms with the Nevada State Senate before retiring in 1984; and

    Whereas, During these two Senate terms, Norman Glaser served as Chairman of the Senate Committees on Taxation and Natural Resources, as well as being a member of the Senate Finance Committee among others; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser was well known as a champion for rural farmers, including sponsoring the “Greenbelt Amendment” which provided a tax incentive to preserve rural farms and ranches near sprawling urban areas; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser also played a key role in the “Sagebrush Rebellion” attempt to claim local control over federal lands and he was a supporter of the notorious “Shovel Brigade,” the recent citizens’ rebellion over the South Canyon Road near Jarbidge; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser was notorious in the Nevada Legislature for livening up committee meetings by utilizing ranch-life phrases such as “We’ve rode over this ground three or four times already,” to witnesses who kept repeating themselves, and “Don’t just sit there like a tree full of owls,” to witnesses who remained silent when asked a lot of questions; and

    Whereas, Not only was Norman Glaser a revered and well-respected Legislator, but his reputation as a rancher is evidenced by the many awards he received, including Outstanding Young Farmer by the Nevada Jaycees, Honorary State Farmer by the Future Farmers of America, the Distinguished Agriculturist Award by the University of Nevada, Reno, and, in 1992, not only were the Glaser brothers named Nevada’s Outstanding Ranchers, but Glaser Land and Livestock received the Outstanding Ranch Award; and

    Whereas, In addition to being a successful rancher and respected Legislator, Norman Glaser also was a member and Chairman of the Nevada Tax Commission and the State Environmental Commission, served as Director of the Northeastern Nevada Historical Society, was a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, was Director of the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association, a member of the Rotary Club, President of the Nevada Farm Bureau, served on the Northern Nevada Community College Advisory Board and had been a Director of the Elko Senior Citizens’ Center; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser will long be remembered as a champion for the rural farmer, a Legislator who was willing to tackle the toughest issues and a true son of the State of Nevada; and

    Whereas, Norman Glaser is survived by his wife, Nelda, of Halleck, sons, Steven Glaser, D.D.S., and Brent Glaser, D.V.M., both of Elko, daughter, Sharon Bell of Las Vegas, four grandchildren and two great-granddaughters; now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Assembly of the State of Nevada, That the members of the Assembly of the 71st session of the Nevada Legislature mourn the loss of their friend and colleague, a respected Nevada Legislator and third-generation Nevada rancher, and express their heartfelt sympathy to the family of Norman Glaser; and be it further

    Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Nelda Glaser, beloved wife of Norman Glaser.

    Assemblyman Dini moved the adoption of the resolution.

    Remarks by Assemblymen Dini, Marvel, Gibbons, Gustavson and Carpenter.

    Assemblyman Collins requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal:

    Assemblyman Dini:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I had the privilege of serving with Norman in the 1967 Session, when I first got here. We were over in the old building then, where the Governor’s office resides now. We served together on some committees. Actually, I had him buffaloed for several sessions because I was chairman of the Agriculture Committee in 1967—he thought I was a farmer. Little did he know I was a saloon keeper in Yerington.

    One of his greatest accomplishments was the “Green Belt” law. Had he not been able to take that to the voters in this state, we probably wouldn’t have much agriculture left in the State of Nevada. That has helped preserve the family-owned farms that have been a tradition all these years since we became a state and even before. My wife, Mouryne, actually should be down here speaking, because she was Norman’s secretary in the 1965 Session, in the old building. We didn’t have offices back then. You had to come down to the floor and dictate your letters. She was in the secretarial pool.

    She got well acquainted with Norman, as his corresponding secretary in 1965. They had little stories between them because, at that time, Mouryne and her family were raising goats and kids, at the same time. So they talked about raising goats.

    Norman was really a witty guy. He could whip out a line in a second. He would throw something at you and catch you off guard. Mouryne and he established a really close relationship and a friendship that lasted many, many years. In fact, Mouryne says she visited Nelda, Norman’s wife, who is sitting with me. She was postmistress of Halleck. Mouryne went up there several times and visited the family and visited Nelda at the post office. So, there are some close family bindings between Mouryne and the family.

    He was a good legislator. He had vision and he really exemplified what a good legislator should be. It is indeed my privilege to have served with him in this House and with him when he was in the Senate, where he served for two terms. We have lost a great Nevadan, a person that contributed immensely to our history and to the laws we operate under today. My condolences to the family who are all here joining us today. I know my other colleagues have some things to say also. I thank you, Mr. Speaker.

    Assemblyman Marvel:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of AR 7. It is indeed a pleasure today to see so many of the Glaser family here and friends from Elko I recognize back in the gallery. I’ve known the Glaser family from time immemorial. I first started cowboying when I was about eleven or twelve years old. That was when I first met Norman’s father.

    As the resolution states, Norman truly was a Nevadan. He was involved in so many areas, so many different things. He was active in the Nevada Farm Bureau, serving as president for many years. I was president of the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association and we were able to work together.

    I think Norman was my senator when I was first elected in 1978. For the first four years, Norman and I always made it a point to get together and visit the many county commissions. Rural legislators know they are responsive to several county commissions, several school boards. We made a point to get around. Norman was never partisan. We were here to do a job for the State of Nevada. I think one of the things which isn’t mentioned in the resolution, is Norman was instrumental in the development and building of the South Fork Dam, which is truly one of the finest recreational areas in the State of Nevada. I think that will always be a tribute to Norman’s efforts—and of course all the people we have from Elko here today. It’s been really great to see you here, Nelda; we are certainly going to miss Norman. It’s nice that we had this tribute for such a great man.

    Assemblywoman Gibbons:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of AR 7, in honor of this cowboy from Halleck, Nevada. I am sure he is up there just pleased as punch, “yippee kay yaying” over all of us for talking about his enormous accomplishments. So much, that he has probably gotten a brigade of shovelers up there, going after these remarks. He was a great Nevadan. His family members are all great Nevadans and I’m very pleased that this body has chosen to honor him. Thank you.

    Assemblyman Gustavson:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This may surprise a few of you, but I actually met the Glaser family back in the early 1950’s. So, even though I’m from southern California myself, my father, who is with me this afternoon, was in the Navy with Norm’s brother, Art. So we visited the ranch out there in Halleck many times. I got to know the Glasers somewhat as a youngster. In fact, the first time I ever fired a shotgun was on their ranch. After I picked myself up off the ground, I was taught, again, how to fire a shotgun. So, I rise in support of AR 7. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

    Assemblyman Carpenter:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s indeed an honor to support AR 7. Norman was a great friend of mine. We were neighbors in the ranching business. For many years I purchased their cattle. Norman and Arthur’s word was like gold. When you arrived at a price, that was it.

    It is pretty amazing one man can do so many things in his lifetime, as this resolution says. He was always busy—always thinking, always looking for things to do.

    Nelda and my wife were what they called in Elko, the “Pink Ladies.” That was the Auxiliary for the hospital. I’ll never forget all those pink signs Norman and I had to paint for Nelda and my wife.

    The one thing I remember most about Norman is that he was a great rancher and a real conservationist. Norman and his brother were always improving the ranch. In this day and age, to go rehabilitate a meadow isn’t a simple thing to do. You have to make sure you have a place for the ducks and other animals and wildlife. Norman was so proud he was able to increase the production on that ranch and still take care of the wildlife. When he was developing his land, they would buy lots of private land so they could better compete in this world that we ranchers have. It is really a great honor to have known Norman.

    I’ll always remember he was a real staunch democrat, probably the most conservative democrat. He would come around when we were holding these town hall meetings. Maybe there was a democrat who was running in Elko County that maybe was not too popular and didn’t have a chance. But Norman Glaser always stood up and spoke highly of the candidate. I always admired him for doing that, because it would have been very easy not to even show up. I always remember how great a man he was and how great his integrity was. He was my neighbor and one my most valued friends. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

    Resolution adopted unanimously.
