True Stuff Dept.: Unlikely headline of the week

Agent 3 sent this entry for Walt's True Stuff competition, True Headlines division. Seen today on the website of Hamilton, Ontario's CHCH-TV.


Must have been a slow news day in Hamilton! But the story gives the lie to the headline.

"The blaze at Hernder Estate Winery in St. Catharines over the weekend was so devastating that investigators say they will never know for sure how it was caused. The fire chief says the damage is in the $7 million dollar range, and the debris left behind doesn’t point to any definitive answers.... 

"St. Catharines fire chief Dave Upper says photos of the destruction were sent to the Ontario fire marshal but it was decided provincial investigators would not check it out themselves. Because the damage was so extensive, a cause will likely never be known for certain."

Memo to CHCH-TV from Ed.: My proofreading services are available for next to nothing, which would be more than what Walt pays me. Send your offer to the usual address.
