WISCONSIN DELLS, WI (MetroSource-WSAU) The general manager of Noah's Ark Water Park in Wisconsin Dells is out of a job over his criticism of health officials.
Park VP Bill Lentz confirmed to a Madison TV station yesterday that Mark Whitfield was let go.
Whitfield sent an email on Monday to Sauk County health officials which said no one should be obliged to wear a mask to go to a water park. He said there have been no COVID-19 attributed deaths in the county since March. He said a mask mandate would cause the county's tourism industry to collapse.
Lentz says those comments do not reflect the policy of Noah's Ark.
Tom King
Tom grew up in Wausau listening to sports on WSAU and music on our sister stations WRIG and WIFC and decided early on that that was where he wanted to be. After graduating from Wausau East in the mid 70's Tom headed to UWSP. He worked at the college radio station WWSP and weekends on WIFC while earning a degree in Communication.
After college he worked a year at WKAU radio in the Fox Valley before returning to Wausau and moving into radio sales. He missed the on-air work and returned to the air when WOFM went on the air and when it was purchased by Midwest Communications was asked to take on the sports position on WSAU. He has spent the last 13 years as part of the WSAU morning team while also broadcasting Wausau East sports and contributing to the morning show on WIFC.
If you listen to the show you know that Tom is the coach of the Wausau American Legion Baseball team. He's married (Sandy) with two sons (Wade & Cory) and spends his spare time reading, listening to music, watching movies and tv shows and following most of the major sports.
