Welcome to 'Wexler's Nightmare'

The year is 2008 A. D., post-hurricanes.

Today's notetaking from the Stuart News:

o Issue dated 5/26/2008 -- front page shows photo of a fish hatchery at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce holding young fish in an indoor tank; plus a story about the Driftwood Motel in Jensen Beach and an acquisition celebration of brothers from Brooklyn, NY, 50 years ago who own fishing cottages near the Indian River Lagoon; plus description of a wounded manatee in the C-23 canal in Palm City, evading capture near a submerged vehicle at the canal's bottom.

Huh?

o Next, issue dated 5/27/2008 -- front page story detailing real estate attorney Robert Klein's rescue of his sons from rip tides but his own life lost; then, a condensed version of the adoption career of Judith Leekin from New York City, who took Shane 'Moo' Graham "from a Port Saint Lucie apartment in July 2000 and returned a half hour later without him. PSL police have asked for the public's help to locate Graham... ".

Cut to past issues describing the visit of transAtlantic sailor Thomas Grahn from Sweden, in Martin County with his much-older mentor and traveling companion.

o Meanwhile, Bradford, PA, prepares to host its annual 'Stinkfest' which features a focus on leek cuisine. Leeks in the region become available in early summer but are quite small and must be wrested from the soil in Allegheny State Park, NY.

So, is the boy lost in the submerged vehicle?
