A mock press conference held Friday by 15 eighth-grade students at Thomas Jefferson Middle School as part of their EER (Explore, Enrich, Research) studies described how the students applied a possible zombie attack to several courses of information.
“Brain research scientist” Joey Mendez, right, talks about the different regions of the brain and how the zombie virus attacks the various sectors. At left is Colton Hart, also a “scientist.”
The students were tasked with answering this question: “How would our country handle a global crisis?”
Teacher Suzanne Luther said she was pleased with the students’ presentation and noted they developed more research topics than they could explain in the time allotted. “But they were able to answer questions based on their research,” she said.

Maybe the students should rewrite the first line of this online article?

Mistakes fixed. We unsuccessfully tried to modify a detailed reference from the full article into a description that could stand on its own for this brief. As the saying goes, "Epic fail." Thanks for the heads up. --Rick Brown, online editor, News Tribune

I thought it was just business as usual at the NT.
