CLEVES, Ohio —
Hamilton County Public Health is issuing a violation notice against a sports park on Cincinnati's west side after it held an event over the weekend, officials said.

Hamilton County Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman said the department received several complaints Monday regarding an event that occurred at Edgewater Motor Sports in Cleves on May 3.

Kesterman said from the video reviewed, the track was in violation of the Ohio Department of Public Health's stay-safe order that took effect May 1. He said Hamilton County Public Health Department will be following up with the facility and issuing a notice of violation.

"We are all in this together and we don't want to have to do this twice so it's on all of us to act in a responsible way," Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus said. "I've seen the videos and pictures and there was not safe distancing, masks were not being worn. It not only affects the people there but all of the people they interact with. I just want to say that they can recognize that it's on us."

Not a good situation at Edgewater.

Think the Edgewater event was closed to the pubic.
A no-prep race. Maybe around 20 some cars
What bought the attention was a guy from Ny wreck his
sedan and burnt it to the ground. Fire dept was called in.
There was a video on "Y tub*" but has been removed.
Have seen it on several other racing sites.
I heard the story on a radio station and they made it sound
Like it was big event. Not the under the radar private
Event it was.
Not looking good for the Edge but we will see.
Hope it all blows over and everybody can get to racing

Someone filed a complaint against Bremerton for it's planned race this weekend. Track got a Cease and Desist order in the mail. Might have to stay closed until July 9 or something like that. The Footbrake Race was going to be the weekend of the 4th.

Bremerton had a good game plan for safety. The website still shows the race as happening. Let's see what happens.

Dennis is busting his butt trying to get things happening. I hope it is still a go.

Dale, where did you get your info??

Update: The weekend is cancelled.

These “orders” — stay at home, close your business, don’t run in the park, don’t go to Mass, practice social distancing — are not laws that can carry a criminal penalty for violation. They are guidelines, without the force of law. A governor or mayor can no more craft law and assign a punishment for its noncompliance than the courts could command the military or police.

Even if legislative bodies did order churches and businesses closed, and governors and mayors were just enforcing those laws, the laws would be profoundly unconstitutional. The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment firmly establishes freedom of religion as a fundamental liberty, and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment firmly establishes your right to purchase a lawful product in interstate commerce from a willing seller as fundamental.

Fundamental liberties are in the highest category of liberty, akin to freedom of conscience and speech and press and privacy and travel.

Let’s say you are at a big-box store looking for groceries and other items. The government cannot constitutionally limit your choices to food and paper towels if you prefer to buy grass seed and a garden hose. These are intimate personal decisions. You need not explain or justify them to the government and you don’t need a government permission slip to exercise your free will and make those choices.

Until now.

Now, we have become a nation of sheep. We have elected officials with constitutionally assigned duties — and constitutionally imposed limitations — who have assumed to themselves dictatorial powers and have falsely claimed that they can interfere with our personal choices. Who are the governors to decide which human activities are essential? Abortion is essential but Mass is not? No constitution gave them that power.

There are two schools of thought on the impairment of fundamental liberties. One requires strict scrutiny and the other requires due process. The strict scrutiny standard mandates the existence of a compelling state interest addressed by the least restrictive means. The procedural due process standard mandates a trial at which the state must prove fault or guilt. The substantive due process standard puts certain personal decisions beyond governmental reach.

Closing churches meets no constitutional standard. There is no question that fighting a pandemic is a compelling state interest, yet there are far less restrictive ways to address it than preventing worship. Wearing masks and gloves, staying 10 feet apart, holding Mass outdoors, even taking a personal risk and then self-quarantining are far less restrictive and constitutionally offensive than closing churches.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio violated his oath to uphold the Constitution when he threatened to use force to close permanently all houses of worship that defied his guidelines. And a small-town police department in northern New Jersey exquisitely violated the constitutional rights of Catholics — while enforcing the ever-changing whims of Gov. Phil Murphy. The police claimed they were following the governor’s orders when they barred a priest on Palm Sunday from distributing palms in sealed plastic bags while he and each parishioner wore masks and gloves and were six feet apart in the fresh outdoors.

Enough is enough.
