Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 20—Memorializing former Assemblyman and longtime educator James Edward Smalley, Sr.
Whereas, The members of the 72nd Session of the Nevada Legislature join the family and friends, and the residents of his beloved City of Henderson, in mourning the loss of James Edward Smalley, Sr. who died April 5, 2003; and
Whereas, Born December 1, 1924, in Peebles, Ohio, James Smalley served as a sergeant in the Army Air Corps and flew 38 missions over Europe during World War II; and
Whereas, After the war, James Smalley resumed his education and earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in United States history at Ohio State University; and
Whereas, James Smalley, who began his teaching career in Nevada in 1949 at the old Fifth Street School in Las Vegas and who also taught briefly in North Las Vegas, spent most of his years as a teacher in Henderson, where he taught social studies at Burkholder Middle School until his retirement in 1982; and
Whereas, Concerns about air and water pollution in the Las Vegas Valley and the increasing need for state funding for education convinced James Smalley to throw his hat into the political ring to pursue his desire to work toward the good of his chosen state; and
Whereas, Elected to the Assembly in 1970 and again in 1972, James Smalley served on the Committee on Education, the Committee on Health and Welfare, the Committee on Taxation, and the Committee on Environment and Public Resources; and
Whereas, Assemblyman Smalley fought to maintain a clean work environment in the industrial businesses in the State, and the many bills he sponsored for the benefit of the residents of Nevada included legislation that would strengthen the state Office of Consumer Affairs; and
Whereas, When talk of consolidation and
annexations in Clark County arose in the
mid-1970s, James Smalley stood against any action that would swallow up
Henderson and vowed to do whatever was needed to maintain Henderson’s autonomy
and identity; and
Whereas, In 2002, James Smalley and his wife Rae, who were both very active in Henderson civic affairs, were named Distinguished Nevadans by the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada in recognition of their contributions to the State; and
Whereas, James Smalley is survived by his wife Rae, son Ed Smalley, daughters Alicia Smalley and Esther Cothrun, and seven grandchildren; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly of the State of Nevada, the Senate Concurring, That the members of the 2003 Nevada Legislature extend their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of James Smalley and to the residents of Henderson who were the primary recipients of the dedication and service of this caring man with a quiet demeanor; and be it further
Resolved, That the many people whose education was enhanced in the classrooms of James Smalley will remember and strive to live what he taught in his classes and by the example of his life; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Rae, his loving wife of 57 years.
Assemblyman Brown moved the adoption of the resolution.
Remarks by Assemblymen Brown, Hardy, and Buckley.
Assemblywoman Buckley requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Assemblyman Brown:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It was just last week that we conducted our Floor Session in the old Assembly Chambers in the State Capitol. At that time, we reflected on the Legislature moving into its new building for the start of the 1971 Session. Assemblyman James Smalley was elected in 1970 and was one of ten freshmen members of the Nevada Assembly when it convened for the first time in the new Legislative Building on January 18, 1971.
As today’s resolution indicates, Assemblyman Smalley served two terms in the Assembly. He was interested in a number of important issues, including education funding, air and water quality, ensuring a clean work environment in the State’s industrial businesses, and strengthening the Office of Consumer Affairs.
When talk arose in the mid-1970s concerning possible consolidations or annexations in Clark County, Jim worked diligently to maintain Henderson’s autonomy. Because of the efforts of Jim and others, the city of Henderson was able to maintain its sovereignty. The Henderson community has thrived and continued to grow in a positive manner. When Jim was first elected to the Assembly in 1970, Henderson had a population of 16,395. The 2000 Census showed Henderson’s population had reached over 175,381. Henderson is now Nevada’s second largest city.
The resolution does not mention that Assemblyman Smalley served as the vice chairman of the Assembly Committee on Taxation for the 1973 Session. During that session, the Taxation Committee addressed a number of significant tax issues, including the Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax, the Special Fuel Tax, the Real Property Transfer Tax, the Vehicle Privilege Tax, and the taxation of agricultural and open space lands. We could certainly use the expertise of Jim Smalley today as we continue to struggle with tax issues.
Jim Smalley was a farsighted individual who knew that big changes were in store for Nevada and he was always looking out for the well-being of others. For example, in 1971, Nevada law prohibited discriminatory employment practices based on a person’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Because of the legislation passed that year, which was sponsored by Assemblyman Smalley and Eileen Brookman, persons with visual or physical handicaps were added to that list. Also in 1971, Jim sponsored Assembly Bill 606 in response to increases in the number of stolen vehicles and certain fraudulent activities related to vehicle sales. That measure, which was passed and signed into law, made it illegal for any person to alter, destruct, or deface the identification numbers on a vehicle or its motor. This was an important early law relating to motor vehicles to protect consumers and prohibit certain practices.
In closing, I would like to quote from a German author, Schiller, who wrote, “He who has done his best for his own times has lived for all times.” Jim Smalley always gave his best, for his family, his community, and the State. Nevada is a better place because of Jim Smalley’s contributions.
Assemblyman Hardy:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of ACR 20. I would be remiss if I did not pay tribute to James Smalley. I would choose to do so by honoring his wife, Rae. I have had the privilege of knowing this couple for about 15 years and have been singularly impressed with the dedication and devotion that Rae, his wife, paid to him. I would have all of us reflect on those of us who have been helped in so many ways by our spouses, and all that they have done for us. I would like to pay tribute to Rae for the dedication and the time she spent during the many years James Smalley’s health deteriorated and led to his eventual demise. The small acts that he did in the Assembly were no greater than the small acts that he did with his family. My tribute goes to the family and to his wife, as well as to James Smalley. It is a wonderful family. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Assemblywoman Buckley:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, rise in support of the resolution. I did not know Mr. Smalley, but I have known and worked with Alicia over the years. It is no surprise to see where she gets her ideals and her commitment to making our State better. She comes by it honestly.
Resolution adopted unanimously.
Assemblyman Brown moved that all rules be suspended and that Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 20 be immediately transmitted to the Senate.
Motion carried unanimously.
By Assemblymen Giunchigliani, Geddes, Anderson, Andonov, Angle, Arberry, Atkinson, Beers, Brown, Buckley, Carpenter, Chowning, Christensen, Claborn, Collins, Conklin, Gibbons, Goicoechea, Goldwater, Griffin, Gustavson, Hardy, Hettrick, Horne, Knecht, Koivisto, Leslie, Mabey, Manendo, Marvel, McClain, McCleary, Mortenson, Oceguera, Ohrenschall, Parks, Perkins, Pierce, Sherer, Weber, and Williams; Senators McGinness, Amodei, Care, Carlton, Cegavske, Coffin, Hardy, Mathews, Neal, Nolan, O’Connell, Raggio, Rawson, Rhoads, Schneider, Shaffer, Tiffany, Titus, Townsend, Washington, and Wiener:

Motion carried.
By the Committee on Transportation:
Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 22—Commending the Highway Watch program and the planned participation of the Nevada Motor Transport Association in this nationwide effort to improve the safety and security of America’s highways.
Whereas, Trucking is a large and diverse industry with more than 3 million drivers who are a potential army of eyes and ears to monitor for security threats and highway dangers; and
Whereas, There has been a sharp increase in traffic congestion, crime and road rage that make our nation’s highways more treacherous and make providing assistance to those in need more challenging than ever before in our history; and
Whereas, There are more than 83,000 wireless calls from motorists to emergency centers each day, but many callers do not know their location, particularly at night or during the emotional strain of an emergency situation, and there are more than 41,000 traffic fatalities each year with approximately half of these deaths occurring before victims reach medical care facilities; and
Whereas, Highway Watch, which began in Colorado in November 1998, strives to reduce the number of highway accidents, serious injuries and deaths through the identification of unsafe drivers, drunken driving, poor road or weather conditions, poor highway or construction zone signage, and motorists displaying road rage; and
Whereas, Highway Watch is a volunteer effort of dedicated professional truck drivers who are committed to guarding the welfare of the motoring public and strengthening the security of the United States in these uncertain times; and
Whereas, Through the Highway Watch program, an elite group of professional truck drivers are specially trained to use their wireless location and communication technology to report accidents, breakdowns, hazardous conditions and other highway dangers to an operator who takes the report from the driver and contacts the proper authorities as determined by each individual state; and
Whereas, The American Trucking Associations, in partnership with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration of the United States Department of Transportation, administers Highway Watch by providing grant money to participating states; and
Whereas, The American Trucking Associations reports that Highway Watch is formed through a network of partnerships, including the trucking industry, law enforcement agencies, and state and federal departments of transportation; and
Whereas, The state trucking associations are the heart of the Highway Watch program which is currently operating in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin; and
Whereas, The Nevada Motor Transport Association is willing to operate the Highway Watch program within this state and establish the basic operational procedures of the program concerning, without limitation, driver qualification, training format, frequency of training sessions, and recruitment of drivers and safety directors; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly of the State of Nevada, the Senate Concurring, That the American Trucking Associations and the dedicated professional truck drivers participating in Highway Watch are hereby commended for their efforts to improve today’s travel environment and to increase the safety and security of the nation’s highways; and be it further
Resolved, That the Nevada Motor Transport Association is hereby commended for its commitment to take on the responsibility of coordinating and administering the Highway Watch program in our state; and be it further
Resolved, That, once it is implemented in Nevada, Highway Watch will make a significant contribution to highway safety and will aid the national effort to monitor potential security concerns; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly prepare and transmit a copy of this resolution to Daryl E. Capurro, Managing Director of the Nevada Motor Transport Association.
