    Whereas, The members of the 70th Nevada Legislature were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of James C. Bailey on March 17, 1999; and

    Assemblyman Dini moved the adoption of the resolution.

    Remarks by Assemblymen Dini, Marvel and Price.

    Assemblyman Perkins requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.

    Assemblyman Dini:

    Thank you, Madam Speaker pro Tempore.  I rise in support of this resolution honoring a man who I consider one of the greatest friends I ever had in my life.  He probably was responsible for me being where I am today.  I remember in 1936—I was just a little kid, about seven years old—Yerington defeated Las Vegas for the state championship.  We only had two divisions then—there was six man football and football.  In Yerington, at that time, there were probably 800 people in the whole valley, let alone the city, which only had a couple of hundred people living in it. 

    They were tough kids in those days.  I had a couple of cousins on that team, a couple of Italian boys that made good.  We had a really outstanding athlete that Jim coached:  John Polish.  He was an historical guy in Yerington athletics.  He held every record in our school and went to the University of Nevada where he was an outstanding football, track, and basketball player.

    Enough of that spirited debate of who won the ball game.  I think it was 9 to 0, by the way.

    I ran across Jim when he came back to Yerington.  Of course, in the meantime, he had married Lola Maionchi, which is an Italian name, too.  The Maionchi family is an old family of Yerington farmers.  I probably met Lola when I was a young boy going to Catholic church several generations ago.

    I met Jim in the 1945-46 school year when he came back as the principal of the high school.  That was before we had the Peabody Plan.  Each little area had their own school district, so Yerington had its own school district and we had about five or six country schools that operated as independent schools.  In 1945 it was war time and Walter Cox was editor of the Mason Valley News.  He had a policy to send a newspaper free to any serviceman from Lyon County.  He needed a sportswriter.  I was recruited by Jim to become a sportswriter because I was writing sports for the high school newsletter.  Every Wednesday morning he would come to see me in class and if I didn’t have my story ready for the Mason Valley News he would say, “Maybe you ought to come to the office and take care of this job of yours of getting this story out.”  I would get the story out and he would edit it and make it so it was grammatically proper; thank God.  We had a really close relationship.

    A couple of us wanted to take trigonometry and with a small school of only 100 kids, the possibility of having a teacher that could teach trig was slim to none.  He said, “If you guys want to take trig, I’ll teach it to you.”  Twice a week we went to his office and he taught us trig.  That was the kind of dedicated man he was.  He would work with you and he worked to make sureyou had a good education.  He was a great disciplinarian.  You didn’t cross Jim Bailey.  One thing about it, he would yell at you good and straighten you out.

    I graduated from high school and he quit the job in Yerington.  He went to the University and became the track coach when I was a freshman.  Jake Lawlor needed a manager for the basketball team and I’d been the manager in Yerington for athletics in high school.  I had wanted to be an athlete, but wasn’t, so I was a manager.  He told Jake that I was the best manager around and he ought to hire me.  So I went up there and met Jake Lawlor.  We made a deal and he hired me as the basketball manager on Jim Bailey’s recommendation.  So, I was always honored and privileged to know Jim Bailey and how he had thought highly of me.

    He was here at the legislature during one of my first sessions in 1967.  He came back to the legislature after serving previously.  He was dedicated.  He was in state government, in business, and had a wonderful career and life.  He lived to a old age.  I know I missed him this year at our “Old Timer’s” Day.  He was here two years ago for “Old Timer’s” Day and we sat and reminisced.  He would ask me about some of the people in Yerington and how they were doing—he remembered them all.  It is my privilege to have known Jim Bailey.  He was a great man, a great educator, a dedicated Nevadan, and dedicated American.  I want to relay my condolences to the family on this great loss.  I know it’s a great loss.  It’s a privilege to have them here with me today.

    Assemblyman Marvel:

    Thank you, Madam Speaker Pro Tempore.  It is a pleasure and I’m delighted that the Speaker had this resolution introduced.  I probably knew Jim Bailey, maybe, before the Speaker did.  We both had roots in the Battle Mountain area when I was growing up.  Of course, Jim was a living legend at the University of Nevada.  Around the ATO house he was quite a legend.  It is such a pleasure, today, to be able to introduce myself and reintroduce myself to members of the family.  Jim still has roots in Battle Mountain and it’s a pleasure when you see young Jim there, who’s a chip off the old block.  He even has the same nose that Jim had.  Then of course, there is Kathy, who I’ve met for the first time today.

    Jim was the director of the Department of Motor Vehicles.  It is just such a pleasure that Nevada had a man like Jim to serve in these hallways and in the legislature, and also to do the job that he did for the State of Nevada with DMV.  So, may I say to the family, you can certainly be proud of the legacy that Jim left with us.  We certainly offer you our condolences.

    Assemblyman Price:

    Thank you, Madam Speaker pro Tempore.  I did not have the opportunity to know Jim as well as the previous speakers, but I had had occasion to talk and visit with him over the years.  He was one of the legislators who served in our only annual session.  When I was going through that list, we visited and he certainly seemed, from my perspective, as fine a gentleman as has been described.  I am honored that we are honoring his memory today.

    Resolution adopted unanimously.

    Assemblyman Dini moved that all rules be suspended and that Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 62 be immediately transmitted to the Senate.

    Motion carried unanimously.

    Madam Speaker pro Tempore announced that if there were no objections, the Assembly would recess subject to the call of the Chair.

                        Assistant Secretary of the Senate

MOTIONS, RESOLUTIONS AND NOTICES

    Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 38.

    Assemblyman Goldwater moved the adoption of the resolution.

    Remarks by Assemblymen Goldwater, Evans, Buckley, Segerblom and Price.

    Assemblyman Perkins requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.

    Assemblyman Goldwater:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  It is a pleasure to rise in support of this resolution.  We say so many wonderful things about people posthumously that it’s a pleasure to recognize the good deeds and the life accomplishments of someone while they are still living with us, and, in fact, sitting at my desk.

    Jim Rogers was my first baseball coach when I was little, seven or eight years old.  I have to tell you that Coach Rogers was a tough coach.  Of course, I was worse at baseball than I am at basketball.  I will give you a little anecdote about Coach Rogers.  He stuck me in left field.  Of course, at that time, the infield was where the action was because eight-year-olds really can’t hit the ball into the outfield.  There was one kid at bat who could probably get it there, though.  Coach Rogers felt this kid was going to hit the ball to me.  I didn’t want that to happen, but he made me face that grim reality.  He walked out on to the field and told me, “David, you better catch this ball.”  Of course, I was horrified, terrified.  My therapist has a number of things to say about that particular incident.  But the kid hit me the ball and I shut my eyes and caught it and felt good about myself. 

    Some of my fondest memories of childhood happen to be from Coach Rogers, who took the time to coach baseball well before he was able to participate philanthropically in thisway.  He used to take the kids and shove us into the back of his pickup truck and take us down to the Sahara Coffee Shop, which wasn’t too far away.  He would buy us all ice cream sundaes.

That was one of the best things we could do.

    He has a wonderful family.  His son Perry is a very, very good friend of mine.  He has a couple of daughters, very lovely young ladies.  Perry is recognized nationally in the area as a sports agent and he’s also a television producer.

    Coach Rogers additionally has something in common with me.  My father’s law partner was Louis Wiener.  My father and Lou Wiener were very close.  In fact, that’s what got my father from Reno to Las Vegas.  Lou Wiener, of course, is the father of Senator Valerie Wiener.  Lou Wiener was incredibly philanthropic.  He used to say, “The only reason to make money is to give it away.  And to give it away with a warm hand.”  Unfortunately, my father didn’t do the “make it” part, but he did do the “give it away” part.  Mr. Rogers did the “make it” part and the “give it away” part.  It’s probably uncomfortable for him to even be recognized in this way because he has given it away with such a warm hand and it is worthwhile to recognize him for these gestures, for these gifts, for being a great man, a great father, a great coach, a great citizen, a leader in business, a leader in industry, and a leader in his profession.  It’s worthwhile to make these remarks, it’s worthwhile to recognize these things and I hope the Assembly can concur with me in recognizing Coach Jim Rogers.

    Assemblywoman Evans:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  I, too, rise in support of SCR 38.  As some of you know, in my real life I’m affiliated with the University system and the actual work I do there is called “development.”  This is a fancy way of saying fundraiser.  We look for funds to support the institutions, scholarships, research programs, our libraries, and, yes, even capital construction.  I feel very lucky because I get to work with many wonderful benefactors.  It is one thing to work hard and accumulate wealth.  It is quite another to give that wealth away.  It requires vision, a certain temper of mind and a generous heart.  So, I thank Mr. Rogers for his generosity and his caring spirit.  You are not only helping our institutions, you are setting an example for manyother benefactors to come, we hope.  Thank you for your wonderful legacy.

    Assemblywoman Buckley:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  I, too, rise in support of SCR 38.  As a lawyer in the state, I know very well of Jim’s reputation as a fine lawyer and a fine entrepreneur and television manager.  I graduated from UNLV, as an undergraduate, and the University of Arizona Law School.  Since the founding of our own law school at UNLV, I have worked with the dean on public service programs where the first year law students are actually teaching classes in divorce law, housing law, small claims court law, to folks who can’t afford attorneys.  When I look at work like this, it would not be possible to have our own law school, to offer such great public service programs without benefactors.  I think Mr. Goldwater is right.  There are plenty of folks who make it but there are few folks that turn around and say, “How can I better improve?  How can I give back to folks who have given to me?”  I rise in support of this resolution, with special thanks for the commitment to the new law school here and to my alma mater, which I feel gave me a good start which allows me to contribute to this state.  Thank you.

    Assemblywoman Segerblom:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  I rise, too, in support of SCR 38.  We’ve never had such a generous Nevadan as Jim Rogers.  Because of his long friendship with Louis Wiener and his business association with Louis Wiener, he recently made a great donation to the Boulder Dam Museum, which, of course, I am always talking about.  We are very thankful for that.  Louis Wiener, Cliff Jones, and Howard Canon briefly owned the Boulder Dam Hotel and Jim Rogers can tell a great story about that.  They bought it on a handshake.

    Because of Mr. Rogers and his generous donation to us, we were able to finish one of the exhibits.  I hope that you all will help us finish another one from our bill, if you remember it.  Thank you, Mr. Rogers, for being such a generous donator to us.

    Assemblyman Price:

    Thank you, Mr. Speaker.  To you and through you, to this Honorable Body.  I’m particularly pleased to be talking here today because when I first saw the resolution I thought it was because Jim had left us for the great above.  I only realized after reading it a couple of times that we werehonoring him as we should on many occasions, while he is still here to appreciate it.  I, like others, have the pleasure of knowing about his dedication to the community.  I further had the pleasure of working for many years with his father, long before I met Jim.  His father was head of the electrical operations out at the Nevada Test Site for many years and later on at the phone company.

    We have all heard of the wonderful deeds and the great community services that Jim has done.  If my memory serves me correct, were you the first station to use helicopters?  Yes.  I remember it was always neat to see a helicopter coming down and landing on top of the studios.

    We thank you for every thing that you have done for the State of Nevada and Clark County.  Many organizations are indebted to you.  Thank you.

    Resolution adopted unanimously.
