The search continues for a new general manager of the Portage Regional Recreation Authority, now that David Sattler's left the position.
Dave Oshust's company Go Green Lawn and Landscaping is contracted to maintain Republic Park's fields, and feels whoever takes over will have big shoes to fill...
"We got along extremely well," he says, "David was pro-active in sports, and understood the importance of field condition. He was always pro-active in providing us money to keep it in excellent shape. He would trust us with anything that we did to go forward, and it was a very good relationship."
Oshust hopes the new GM will have a vision much like Sattler's.
"As far as keeping our fields in excellent condition," he says, "And not clawing back the budget. We've got the fields where they're considered to be the best in Manitoba, and we'd hate to see it decline because of numbers or decisions. Hopefully just let us do our job, and we'll let him do his. That's the way David and I looked at each other."
Oshust wishes Sattler all the best in the future.
