violation calls. Pasquale testified it depends on the violation. He explained that if the call is about high grass, for example, he might tell the property owner to cut the grass within 48 hours or face a citation. Nightingale asked Pasquale why, if it was obvious from the exterior of the house that there were code violations, he did not give Smith time to clean up or face a citation. Why, Nightingale asked, did he believe it was necessary to enter the residence? Pasquale said as an investigator, he’s obligated to conduct a thorough assessment, including the inside of the house, in case there are other code violations like fire hazards or animal control issues. “What if I leave, and something happens, it catches on fire?” Pasquale said. “Then I’m on the hook for not doing a thorough investigation.” Nightingale then scrutinized Pasquale’s testimony that he wanted to do a “quick visual
inspection” of the inside of Smith’s home. “When you said ‘I just need to do a quick visual inspection,’ what you meant was you needed to do a thorough inspection to satisfy yourself that there were no further code violations?” Nightingale asked. Pasquale testified that “your interpretation (of ‘quick’) and my interpretation might be different,” and said it was like telling someone to “hold on a second.” “There should be an understanding,” Pasquale said, that the inspection will be somewhat thorough. He noted that the time that elapsed between entering the house and finding marijuana upstairs was about 5 or 6 minutes. President Judge John F. Wagner will rule on the motion at a later date, pending briefs from Nightingale and Assistant District Attorney Mark Brooks. Smith remains free after posting $100,000 straight cash bond following his arrest.
WAYNESBURG — Engines and excitement will be revving up and firing on all cylinders at the Greene County Airport on Sunday as Altered Gas Performance will present the first of the season’s Flashlight Drags events. Racing enthusiasts will descend upon the airport beginning at 11:30 a.m. The races will begin at 2 p.m. starting with a flashlight signal, just like early days of rebel dragracing that some know only from old movies. Cars and trucks will drag down the one-eighth mile airport runway. The event evolved from a simple idea to provide a venue where a hot-rodder or tuner could burn tire and race a buddy, without risking jail time or jeopardizing safety. The goal was to provide the illusion and excitement of street racing with a touch of nostalgic old-school drag racing. “We are very excited to be back in Greene County,” said Michael Schindel of Altered Gas Performance Events. “The first order of business is to thank Greene County Commissioners Chuck Morris, Archie Trader and Blair Zimmerman. These folks truly have made a commitment to their residents and continue to demonstrate their support for the Flashlight Drags.” Schindel also said that he thanked county recreation director Jake
Blaker and his crew for the part they play in preparing for the event and on the day of the race. Schindel said safety remains his company’s primary focus. “To address that, we added a new feature that is focused on new racers, young drivers and experienced drivers alike,” he said. “If you are new to dragracing, we will be giving drag-racing lessons prior to the actual races. We will teach the driver how to safely launch the car from the starting line as quickly as possible, without burning your tires off. Basic car control techniques will also be covered during the new driver orientation.” All vehicles must be street legal, and that, Schindel said, “means real mufflers, no exceptions.” The Flashlight Drags crew has a busy season scheduled with other races to be held at the airport on June 2, July 7, Aug. 4 and Sept. 14. Schindel reports the enthusiasm for the Flashlight Drags races is still soaring. “We have more businesses on board with sponsorships than we could have imagined and it is these people who make the races possible,” he said. There will be a vendors midway this year. In addition to performance and parts vendors, those who attend will find artists, crafters, antique dealers and local merchants. A disc jockey also will be on hand in a “greaser” persona. For more information on the Flashlight Drags, visit online at www. flashlightdrags.com/ index.php.
