Several cases of COVID-19 have been linked to JustAGame in Wisconsin Dells, WI. The fieldhouse hosts a variety of sporting tournaments including basketball and volleyball. The recent cases have been linked to a volleyball tournament that was held in early July.

The Fox47 website received emails on Friday, August 7, from a "coach whose team participated in a tournament at JustAGame." Within the emails, one from JustAGame owner Kyler Royston, it was revealed that someone within the facility tested positive for COVID-19. According to Royston, the fieldhouse will "continue with [their] prior guidelines and as an added precaution are now also requiring all individuals to wear a mask while inside the facilities with the exception of players, coaches, and officials when a game is in progress." This added precaution coincides with the recent Mask Mandate issued by Gov. Tony Evers.

Royston was contacted by the Columbia County Health Department in regards to the recent COVID-19 cases. Within the emails received by Fox47, the coach was also contacted by a nurse from the Sauk County Health Department. The Fox47 website states "in the email, the nurse said the coach's team played against two individuals from another team that had tested positive for coronavirus." Both Columbia County Health Department and Sauk County Health Department are investigating coronavirus cases related to sporting tournaments.

Royston stated that the facility plans on moving forward with any scheduled tournaments and, according to an article from Fox47, "a liability waiver for JustAGame indicates the company is not responsible for issues such as physical injuries or illness."

JustAGame fieldhouse has no relation to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA), "which is the group that monitors high school sports in the state" (Fox47). Nearby schools, including the newly built Wisconsin Dells High School, have not reported their fall sport plans.

Doubled Tax Increases!?

Earlier this year, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker pushed against the gas tax increase by placing a 6 month hold on the scheduled hike. His goal was to relieve Illinois families from further financial stress. As published by My State Line reporter, John Clark, “Pritzker hoped that the initiative might ease the effects of inflation on residents.” Initially postponed to January 1 of this year, a bill coming from Springfield has proposed that the hike in gas tax be pushed back an additional 6 months.  Across the country, gas prices are decreasing; but Illinois remains number two in terms of how much its residents have to pay to fill up their tanks. With California in the lead, Illinois’ prices show no real stopping point. Without taking the increases into consideration, Illinois still comes in with second place for highest gas taxing. Illinois Policy’s assistant editor, Dylan Sharkey, reported that “gas tax hikes disproportionately hurt lower-income residents, who give up a larger percent...
