Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 21—Memorializing attorney and public servant, Peter Ignacio Echeverria, Esq.
Whereas, The residents of the State of Nevada mourn the loss of an influential advocate and defender of freedom with the passing of Peter Ignacio Echeverria on July 5, 2000; and
Whereas, Pete Echeverria, the son of John Echeverria, a Basque sheepherder, and his wife, Maria, was born in Shoshone, Idaho, on June 29, 1918, and spent his early years in Hailey, Idaho, where, at 7 years of age, being told by a sheepherder that if he caught a certain lamb he could keep it, Pete showed the sense of challenge and accomplishment that would be the trademark of his life by doing just that; and
Whereas, After his family settled in Ely, Pete attended the public schools there, working at various jobs and ultimately becoming a butcher’s apprentice, a trade that would help him earn his way through the University of Nevada in Reno; and
Whereas, While attending the University of Nevada, Pete Echeverria teamed up with his good friend and roommate, Cliff Young, now Nevada Supreme Court Justice Young, to become the duo to win the Far West Debate Championship in 1943, and it was also during these years that he met Frances Arenaz, his future wife and the mother of their four children; and
Whereas, After returning from service during World War II as a decorated Army infantry captain, Pete Echeverria entered and graduated from Stanford Law School and started his 34‑year legal career during which he took on a number of high profile cases and was known as a great orator with a “trip-hammer” mind and an ability to charm jurors; and
Whereas, Pete Echeverria was a Special Assistant Attorney General for the Nevada Legislature in 1951 and 1953, served in the Nevada State Senate from 1959 to 1963 and had been on the State Planning Board for 10 years when Governor Mike O’Callaghan appointed him Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission in 1973; and
Whereas, While on the Commission, his opposition to the licensing of Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal in Nevada’s casino industry led to a major court battle that resulted in the affirmation of Nevada’s strict gambling laws and landed Rosenthal in Nevada’s infamous “List of Excluded Persons,” known popularly as the “Black Book”; and
Whereas, In an interview after leaving the Nevada Gaming Commission in 1977, Pete Echeverria said that as Chairman he had to “stand up strong and hard” against those who would corrupt the state’s casinos; and
Whereas, Pete Echeverria was national President of the American Board of Trial Advocates and the only man elected twice to that position, a member of the American College of Trial Attorneys, the International Academy of Trial Attorneys, the State Bar of Nevada and the Washoe County Bar Association, and was a founder of the Nevada Trial Lawyers Association which awarded him the first Lifetime Achievement Award, acknowledging him as one of the finest trial attorneys in America; and
Whereas, After leaving trial law in 1983, Pete Echeverria operated a consulting firm specializing in gaming, real estate and legal matters, and was named Chairman of the Nevada Governor’s Wild Horse Committee; and
Whereas, Peter Echeverria is survived by his sons, John and Mike, and his daughters, Teresa Maloney and Cris Welmerink; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the Assembly Concurring, That the members of the 71st session of the Nevada Legislature express their deep sense of loss and extend their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Peter Echeverria; and be it further
Resolved, That the residents of the State of Nevada are encouraged to take Pete Echeverria as a model to “stand up strong and hard” when confronted by any force that might compromise the greatness of this state; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Pete Echeverria’s children, John, Teresa, Cris and Mike.
Senator Raggio moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senators Raggio and Jacobsen.
Senator Raggio requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Senator Raggio:
It is a personal privilege for me to speak, today, in honor of Pete Echeverria who served with distinction in the Nevada State Senate at a time when each county had its own Senator. Pete Echeverria was one of the best members to serve in this body.
It is a personal privilege for me to speak of him today because as a fledgling young attorney, Pete Echeverria took me under his wing. With him, I participated in my first jury trial. It was a very notorious trial involving a murder in a brothel in Tonopah. I learned a great deal during that trial. A young attorney could not have had a better mentor than Pete Echeverria.
This resolution is rather short in expressing and relating all of the accomplishments of this individual. You heard the story told in the resolution about when he was a youngster, he was told if he caught a lamb he could keep it. During his lifetime, Pete Echeverria caught many lambs. His sense of challenge and accomplishment was truly his trademark. Whatever Pete Echeverria undertook, he did so with distinct accomplishments. He answered every challenge ever thrown at him, and he usually won.
Pete was a young man from Ely. He did not have an affluent background but scrambled and worked his way to the top. He was a veteran, a decorated officer of WWII, who had been a butcher’s apprentice in Ely. He received honors at the University of Nevada and won the debate championship with Cliff Young, now, our Supreme Court Justice. He went on to Stanford Law School. This is a rags to riches story.
During the 34 years in which he practiced law, no one could disagree that he was a worthy advocate in anything he undertook. If a list were compiled of the ten best attorneys to practice law in Nevada, Pete Echeverria’s name would be on that list. No one could try a jury case like Pete. The resolution states that he charmed jurors. One of those he charmed was my mother who served on his first jury in Reno. It was an impossible case to win, and that jury went along with it. I cannot think of any case he lost. When I was District Attorney of Washoe County, we argued a lot. We fought a lot. We tried a lot of cases together. I lost some. I won a couple. When you won a case against Pete, you earned your stripes.
Today, we honor someone who achieved the highest standards and recognition in law, and in the political process, he had no peer. He was a life-long Democrat and always chided me for being a Republican. But we respected each other’s views, and we respected each other as advocates. It is fitting that as a former member of this body, we take the time to recognize Pete's achievements, and I am pleased that we were able to do so today.
Pete died in July, 2000. Unfortunately, some of the mental faculties which made him a great orator, a great attorney and a great legislator were stripped from him by illness. His memory will remain with us, and he will be admired by those who had the privilege to know him. His heritage will be passed on to his family, and he will long be remembered by this State.
Senator Jacobsen:
I had the pleasure of serving with Pete Echeverria during my first year of service in the Legislature. He got my attention on that first day. He had the ability to get your attention and to hold it. He was a perfect person. During the year in which I served with him, I really got to know what an attorney was all about.
Pete was an avid member of the Carson Valley Nut Club. He was a person who kept us in stitches, and he could fire a shot which could be heard almost anywhere. He was always a perfect gentleman.
Most of all, he was a perfect Nevadan. He stood up for his country, which is commendable by anyone’s account. I certainly support Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 21.
Resolution adopted.
Senator Raggio moved that all rules be suspended and that Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 21 be immediately transmitted to the Assembly.
Motion carried unanimously.
Senator Raggio moved that the Senate recess subject to the call of the Chair.
Motion carried.

MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES
Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 12—Memorializing long-time educator and native Nevadan, Orsie S. Graves.
Whereas, The members of the Nevada Legislature were deeply saddened by the passing of Orsie S. Graves on May 10, 2000, one of Sparks High School’s most influential educators; and
Whereas, Orsie S. Graves, a native Nevadan, was born on March 15, 1922, in Sparks, to Orsie M. and Pearl (Casey) Graves; and
Whereas, Orsie Graves graduated from Sparks High School in 1940 and later joined the United States Army Air Corps where he served his country during World War II as a pilot; and
Whereas, In 1948, Orsie Graves earned his Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Nevada and continued his education by attending classes at San Jose State University and the University of Nevada where he received his Master’s Degree in 1965; and
Whereas, Following college and his service in the military, Orsie Graves taught in junior high schools in Fallon and Sparks before becoming a teacher and basketball coach at Sparks High School in 1956; and
Whereas, During his 12 years as basketball coach at Sparks High School, Orsie Graves earned a reputation as a tough and talented coach who encouraged his players to excel in the classroom, as well as on the court; and
Whereas, After leaving his coaching days behind, Orsie Graves continued his career in education for another 17 years as Acting Vice Principal, Dean of Students and Vice Principal at Sparks High School where he touched the lives of a generation of students and encouraged them to be the best that they could be; and
Whereas, Following his retirement from the Washoe County School District in 1985, Orsie Graves and his wife, Lois, devoted a considerable amount of time and energy toward the development of the Sparks Heritage Museum; and
Whereas, The love and respect that Orsie Graves received from his students was expressed simply by the Mayor of the City of Sparks, Tony Armstrong, a former student of Graves, who was quoted as saying, “I was one of those students who you had to take a 2-by-4 and hit me in the head to make me understand. Orsie was one of those who picked up that 2‑by‑4. He never gave up on me and spent a lot a time with me.”; and
Whereas, Orsie Graves is survived by his wife, Lois, son, Brad, daughters, Tricia Grinsell and Leslie Moya, and sister, Bonnie Pettengill, all of Reno, son, Ed Henrickson of Hawaii, and seven grandchildren; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly of the State of Nevada, the Senate Concurring, That the members of the 71st session of the Nevada Legislature do hereby extend their sincere condolences to the family and friends of Orsie S. Graves; and be it further
Resolved, That Orsie Graves will long be remembered for his contribution to education and athletics at Sparks High School and for the compassion and understanding that he generously gave to his students and friends throughout his life; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Orsie Graves’ loving wife, Lois.
Senator Raggio moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Senator Raggio.
Senator Raggio requested that his remarks be entered in the Journal.
We have the privilege today to recognize Orsie S. Graves, a long-time educator. I knew Orsie. He and I took courses together at the University. He went into education and was revered by all who came in contact with him. Orsie Graves was one of the most likeable individuals I have ever known. Anyone who worked with Orsie will say the same thing.
He spent 34 years as an educator. Anyone who has been in the field of education knows it is a commitment that goes beyond expectation. Not only was he recognized as an educator and as an administrator, he was also one of the great sports enthusiasts in the State of Nevada. He was a basketball coach at Sparks High School for 12 years. He earned the respect of those who played for him and of those who played and coached against him. Orsie Graves set a high standard. He is one of the people who made education in Nevada what it is today.
I was sorry to learn of his sudden death. All the Senate joins with me and our colleagues in the Assembly in recognizing his significant contributions to education and to the history of this State.

I note my objection to the referral. The last two bills have been referred to the Committee on Transportation. These are within the jurisdiction under Standing Rule 40 of the Committee on Natural Resources. I do not understand why these bills would be referred to another committee. I voice my vehement objection to the referrals. I serve on the Committee on Natural Resources. It is one of the reasons I serve on this committee so that I may hear the bills that relate to environmental issues associated with nuclear waste. Apparently, every bill, which has nuclear waste or hazardous waste in it, is being referred to the other committee. I object to that.
