meeting in March to discuss the proposed

Many expressed concerns the district of-
fice being at the golf club would greatly in-
crease heavy-vehicle traffic at Country Club
Estates. Pickle said that wouldn’t have been
the case – the district was going to contin-
ue using the Utility Drive location for work
vehicles.

Nevertheless, DeShazo and Pickle said it
had become clear that the best option for
everybody was for the district to gain land
for water-storage projects and build a per-
manent office on Utility Drive.

“We have a great relationship with the
district and will give them water storage,”
DeShazo said. “In the last couple days it’s
been made evident it’s needed.”

At press time, subtropical storm Alberto
was passing Florida and dumping rain on
St. Lucie County.

Previously Pickle said The Enclave at
St. Lucie West and Lake Forest at St. Luc-
ie West would benefit greatly by the pro-
posed additional storm-water storage. Ad-
ditionally, Lake Forest Pointe and Country
Club Estates would benefit. The biggest
benefit, however, is Cashmere Boulevard
between Heatherwood and St. Lucie West
boulevards.

If the board approves, the district will of-
fer $166,650 for the water-storage acres.

Until recently, the district had been de-
signing a $1.2 million permanent office.
Pickle said the designs are about 80 percent
complete. He will recommend to the board

MORRIE’ AT A.C.T. PAGE B7
OVER 3 WEEKENDS
Page B2
BY SAMANTHA BAITA | Staff Writer
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ST. LUCIE BALLET
1 “Tuesdays with Morrie”
opens this Saturday at Stu-
art’s popular black box perfor-
mance venue, A.C.T. Studio The-
atre. The play is from a memoir
by newspaper sports columnist
Mitch Albom. It was adapt-
ed as a stage play and opened
off-Broadway in 2002. Accord-
ing to Wikipedia, “Tuesdays
with Morrie” is Albom’s recount
of the time he spent with his
78-year-old Brandeis Universi-
ty sociology professor, Morrie
Schwartz, who is dying from
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS). The two had reunited 16
years after Albom’s graduation,
and the story looks at his life in
the years since. What starts as a
simple visit to Albom’s former
professor turns into a weekly
pilgrimage and a last class in
the meaning of life. The name
Morrie comes from the Hebrew
word meaning “my teacher.”
“Tuesdays with Morrie” runs
June 2-3, 8-10 and 15-17. Show
times are Fridays and Saturdays,
8 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m. Tickets
are $25. 772-932-8880.
