THE BEVERIDGE PAW PRINT |  DECEMBER 2020 |  VOL . 5

'Twas the week before winter break,

When all through the school, not all the students were in person, butwe all still had rules;

The remote learners were up on the teachers' Promethean boards, Inhopes that they could still speak some words;

The Bulldogs were nestled all in Teams, While visions of Covid-19 leftin the seams.

And Newspaper Club in their homes and advisors in their app, Hadjust settled our brains for a long Paw Print nap.

When out in the school arose some wonders, We sprang from ourchairs to see each other ponder.

Away to the metings we flew like a flash, tore open the Canva andbrainstormed an entire stash.

The ideas were a go, gave much needed hope that we were still pros. When what to our wondering skills did appear, But an amazing edition

for our peers. With a virtual club being such an attraction, We are so grateful to be

back in actionAdapted from " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas".

What The People Think

Well , I think we all know how bad COVID-19 is

right now , with around 650 COVID-19 cases per day , in the Omaha area alone . Maybe some

people are thinking that it would be better to go fully remote right now , until we can gain

control of COVID-19 . Others may think that COVID-19 is

not a big deal , and that we ’d be fine if we went back at 100% capacity . Some

people may feel that the 3/2 model that we are on right now is perfectly fine .

What I Think

I personally feel that it would be better if

OPS schools went fully remote right now , just because of the number of average

COVID-19 cases per day , but I ’m not saying I WANT to go full remote . I think I ’m like

most people , I can do online learning if I have to , but I ’d much rather prefer to go to

school in person . Sure , there are some perks to having fully remote school , such as

not having to wake up as early , and being in the comfort of your own home while

attending school , but it just doesn ’t have the same feeling as being in-person ,

with all of your friends and teachers . I feel like if we went back to school

100% in-person , we would have a lot of outbreaks , with lots of people either

being sick or having to quarantine . Just look at the school districts who have

gone back to 100% in-person , such as Millard and Elkhorn , and how they ’ve had a

lot more outbreaks in their schools than OPS has , and OPS even has more

students than Millard and Elkhorn do . I hope we can get COVID-19 under control

sooner than later , because I really don ’t like only having in-person school for

half of the week , but I feel that if we go back to school fully remote , we can

keep everyone safe and help our community get on track for returning to normal

life , if there is a “normal” anymore .

COVID-19 has changed

our lives in every way . One of the big things it has effected is the way we go

to school . From August 18th to October 5th , all OPS students were attending fully remote school ,

but since October 5th , students have attended school with a 3/2

model , while some students have continued to attend full remote classes . The

big question on everyone ’s mind right now is : should all students come

back to school right now , should we continue with the 3/2 model , or should we

go back to full remote?

The word Christmas comes from an Old English term Cristes maesse, meaning “Christ’s mass.” It was a name forthe festival service of worship held on Dec. 25 (Jan. 7 in many Eastern Orthodox or Eastern Rite churches) tocelebrate the birth of Jesus. Although it’s accepted that Jesus was born in Bethlehem a few miles south ofJerusalem, there is no certain information on when he was born. A reason for that is due to the stories of his birth,recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, were written several years after the event. Those who wrote it gaveno specific dates. For several years, the Christian church itself ignored the celebration of Jesus’ birth. The majorChristian festival was Easter, the day of his Resurrection. It was understood as his true “birthday” since it was theday of his birth in heaven. Only gradually, as the church developed a calendar to honor the major events of the lifein Jesus, did it celebrate his birth.

(Or Chanukah) is a Jewish holiday. The triumph of the few over the many, the weak over the strong, and faith inone miracle-making god is celebrated on the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. Jerusalem was ruled as part of theSeleucid Dynasty in about 198 BC. One member of the Seleucid Dynasty in particular, Antiochus Epiphanes IV,who ruled from 175-63 BC, brought Greek culture to the land of Israel and insisted that the Jews living thereshould worship the pagan gods idolized by the Seleucid Greeks. Mattathias, a high priest from the village ofModi’in, led a revolt against the rule of Antiochus. When Antiochus ordered the Jews to make sacrifices withanimals and pay homage to Greek Gods and pagan idols, Mattathias denied. Antiochus threatened those of whowere not abandoning their Judaism with a death penalty, and his armies disrespected the Temple in Jerusalem.The small army of Jews was lead by Mattathias and later by his son Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. InHebrew, Maccabee means hammer. The Maccabee regained access to the Temple after 7 years of fighting. In 165BC, the Maccabees purified and rededicated the Temple. A larger story found in the Jewish oral law compiled inthe Talmud told of a tiny vial of oil that Maccabees found when they came to the Temple. There was only enoughto last one night, but the oil magically it lasted for 8 nights, during which time Judah Maccabee was able to gatherfine fresh oil for the temple lights. Some scholars believe that the story was added to move focus of the story fromthe military victory. Hanukkah became know as the Festival of Lights and the Festival of Dedication.

Kwanzaa is an African American festival. Celebrate all around the world by 1,000,000s of people of African descent,the week-long holiday of Kwanzaa was developed by the American scholar and activist Maulana Karenga in 1966.Kwanzaa celebrates African families, community, and culture. It is based on the African harvest celebration. Thename comes from the Swahili words for “first fruits in harvest.” It takes place from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, a time that insome African cultures is called “the time when the edges of the year meet." It is traditionally spent in focus,celebration, and assessment. The symbolism of the festival comes from several African traditions. Every night, oneor more out of 7 candles is put in a candleholder including 1 black, 3 green, and 3 red candles. They light thecandles.

Why do we have pizza everyday? The reason we have pizza everyday is because it canbe frozen and then stay fresh for a while. Why would we want it to stay fresh? Just incase we have to go fully remote again it will save the lunch people from having to throwout the old pizza and get all new pizza.

But, how do students feel about having pizza every day? Some might think “could be abetter lunch choice.. pizza gets boring.” And other students could think “OH MYGOODNESS PIZZA OH YES I LOVE PIZZA SO MUCH!”. One thing I would like to stateabout the school pizza, this year the school pizza just tastes PHENOMENAL! I very muchenjoy the size of the pizza as well, last year it was just a small square.. but this year it’s anice lovely appetizing triangle slice of pizza. I’ve overheard some of my classmatesspeaking on there opinion about the school pizza everyday, Here are some of the thingsI have heard.

“It’s a little odd that we have pizza EVERY DAY.” Yes, it is a little odd. But it’s pizza, PIZZA.Pizza is great. Well to most people at least. Another thing i’ve overheard about theschool pizza, “I’m so glad we always get pizza, It’s my favorite food!”. In my opinion I loveto hear things from people with two different opinions. That’s my take on school pizza!

Among Us is a game where you find out who the imposter is by voting themoff. You can be a crewmate or an imposter. It is a fun game from 2018. It canbe played on phones or computers, and it is free to play.

BackstoryAmong Us was made in 2018 by Intersloth the same people who were fromPuff Balls United who made the Henry Stickman series which was a flashgame series on Newgrounds and Stickpage. As I said before, it was made in2018 but didn’t become popular until 2020 because of a popular livestreaming website called Twitch. When live streamers started to play thegame, their viewers started to play the game. When it was put on phones,more people started to play it, along with many Youtubers.

Gameplay The main part of the gameplay is finding out who the imposter is it can be 1-3imposters. When you are a crewmate, your goal is to find out who theimposter is and vote them out or by finishing all your tasks. As an imposter,your goal is to kill everyone by either killing them or by having the othercrewmates vote each other off until there are 1-3 crewmates left dependingon how many imposters there are. You can also sabotage and go into vents.But only the imposter(s) can go in vents, so doing so you basically forfeit theround, proving yourself to be an imposter. Crewmates can prove themselvesinnocent by something called a visual task, which is a task that visually showschange that only crewmates can do. The imposters have a kill cooldownranging from 10 seconds to 60 seconds. At max, a lobby is 10 people. Thereare 3 different maps to play on, the most common being the default mapcalled “The Skeld.” The voting off system mentioned before works by mobrule, so whichever person has the most votes, even if they only have 1 morevote than the other person, they get voted off.

In case you don’t know who Bubsy is, let me give you some background. Back in the90s, Sonic the Hedgehog made his debut and took the world by storm. Because ofthis, many video game companies tried to make their own mascot similar to Sonic.Some of the mascots included Gex, Croc, and Awesome Possum. However, many ifnot all of those mascots were sadly forgotten; all of them, except for Bubsy. Bubsybecame legendary, an icon in the videogame industry. That’s right, Bubsy becamelegendary… legendarily bad. Yeah, despite some praise in his first few years, Bubsywas torn apart overtime. Many people have complained about the cheap deaths,slippery controls, and way too fast movement. And despite the series being killed offin 1996, he returned 20 years later, despite all the criticisms. And in honor of his 4thgame’s 24th anniversary, I will be reviewing his very first game. What could possibly gowrong?

The story revolves around these aliens known as woolies who come from a planetknown as Rayon. The main material that the woolies use at their home planet is yarn,so to get more, they go to earth to steal all of our supply of yarn balls. Bubsy, being acat, has the largest collection of wool, so when the woolies steal it, it is up to Bubsy toget all of his and earth’s yarn back. The story is cute and original, however it isn’texplained very well in the game, but Sonic had a similar problem, so I guess it’s ok.Plus, Bubsy’s instruction manual doubles as a comic that explains the story, whileSonic had it explained in text. Bubsy: 1, Sonic: nothing.

Bubsy is a fast, anthropomorphic bobcat that can glide and wears a white T-shirt witha red exclamation mark on it. Yep, despite being a bobcat, he can glide. Bubsy forsome reason gets a lot of hate for being able to glide, and I don’t know why. Mostpeople say that it isn’t right for an animal like a bobcat to glide, and that he should bea flying creature like a bat. But SEGA did the exact same thing to basically every Soniccharacter, having a fox and echidna being able to fly and glide despite being flightlessanimals. Bubsy is also said to be annoying with all of his catch phrases he says at thebeginning of every level. And while I do agree that hearing the same voice clip over,and over again after dying is a bit annoying, he isn’t that bad of a character. Sure, he’sa bit narcissistic, but other than that, he’s bright colorful and expressive and isn’t thatbad of a character.

You ' re a sus one , Bever idge s tudent . The music on the SNES is great. The soundtrack mostly has a bouncy feel to it, but it alsohas a hint of jazz. This creates a short but memorable tune for each level. While somemight complain that the tracks are too short and get reused too much, it doesn’t feelrepetitive to me. I’d love to hear these tunes anytime. My favorite tunes are The TitleTheme, Fair Is Foul, Field Yield, and more. But I must remind you that I said the music onthe SNES was great. The music on the Genesis…oh boy. The music in the Genesis versionof the game is bad. It sounds like it’s being played on an 8-bit console like the NES, not a16-bit console like the Genesis. Genesis does what Nintendon’t, right here folks.Anyways, the music is great… on the SNES.

The game has you play as Bubsy running and gliding through levels collecting yarn ballsand other collectables. The gameplay to me, did need some getting used to, but it wassolid enough. Most people complain about dying in 1 hit, the way too zoomed in camera,the hit box, and the fall damage. I do agree that some of the choices the creators madewere pretty dumb. But there is 1 thing I would like to point out: the fall damage. 2Dplatformers and fall damage don’t mix very well, but Bubsy does have a compromise.And that compromise is the gliding. I mean, it’s pretty obvious why they added it in, it’s tobreak your fall. Why are people so picky? That’s it! I’m outta here, you can’t make me!

Bubsy has 5 worlds with 3 levels each, with 1 more level as a separate world, giving thisgame a total of 16 levels. Like Sonic, the levels are large. The worlds in this game eachhave a different theme to them. The first world’s levels are meadows with ponds, houses,and tall mountains. The next world is carnival themed with rollercoasters. The 3rd worldhas a western setting with a train that the levels always start on. Something funny is thatSonic also had a similar idea in Sonic Mania, having a train in a western setting. Anyways,world 4 has a river at the bottom with a hill over it. The next world has tall trees and isvery jungle-like. And finally, the 6th world takes place in a space ship in space. Despiteworld 5 being easy to get lost in, I enjoyed these levels. They were big and fun to explore.

Woah, are you still reading this thing? I’m surprised you made it this far. Anyways, thecompany that created Bubsy, Accolade, put a ton of effort and money into our furlessleader...wait, shouldn’t that be fearless? But it was a bridge too fur… well, more like abridge too short. And after a few years, Bubsy faded into obscurity. Luckily, Bubsy isrecovering from that dreadful past. While I do agree that the game isn’t the best, I don’tthink it’s as bad as people say it is. I think the problem is that Bubsy was over-hypedwhen he first came out, giving the illusion that his game is horrible. I’d recommend it topeople who want a challenge or don’t have anything to do. Even if you don’t like thegame, you can still love to hate it. It’s only 5 dollars on Steam under the title, Bubsy: two-fur, and it even comes with Bubsy II which is said to be better than the first game. Hmm,maybe I should review Bubsy II sometime. What could possibly go wrong?

Animaniacs was a 90s cartoon variety show that had many skits, segments, and songs. Some ofAnimaniacs’ cast included Slappy Squirrel, Rita, Buttons, and more. However, there were 2reoccurring segments that stole the show. One of these segments was about 2 lab mice knownas Pink and the Brain who would try to take over the world. There was 1 problem, as 1 of themwas a genius and the other was insane. And then in another segment, there were the main starsof the show: the ones who took the spotlight and the ones who didn’t bother to rehearse for thisshow. They were Yakko, Wakko, and their sister Dot, also known as the Warner Brothers (and theWarner Sister). The Warner Brothers and sister were animal-like creatures who would causechaos in the Warner Brothers studio. Back when Animaniacs came out, it appealed to both kidsand adults with their smart writing, adult humor, and even some educational songs. But sadly,the series ended in 1998 causing the Warner Brothers, the Warner sister, and all of the otherstars to never be heard from again… until 2017. It was announced that Animaniacs would becoming back in 2020, and after 3 years, the new series finally came out. Hmm, are you ponderingwhat I’m pondering? I think so, but can we have fries instead of hashbrowns? Oh sorry, wrongthing. I think that we should review this new series and see if the children of today will like it aswell as the parents. Without further ado, let’s see if they’re still animany, totally insainy, andcockamamie, Animaniacs.

Before we start judging the 2020 version, we have to see what made the original fantastic. So far,I’ve narrowed it down to 2 things: the humor and the characters. I’ll get to the characters later,but for now, let’s talk about the humor. The humor was perfect, as it had a good blend of popculture, slapstick, fourth wall, and adult humor. The dialogue is also just gold. For example, in ascene where Dot Warner is doing an ink blot test, she’s asked what one of the pictures looks like,and she responds with, “It looks like you’re a very bad artist.” That’s just 1 of the jokes and a verytame one as well. I’d love to show more, but the censors won’t allow it. Anyways, on to the reboot.

The story of Animaniacs begins in the 1930s when the Warner Brothers and sister were createdin the studio’s newly opened animation department. But unfortunately, they were out of controland ran amuck around the studio until their capture. The Warner Brother’s films, which madeabsolutely no sense, were locked away, never to be released. As for the Warners themselves,they were locked away in the studio’s water tower also to never be released. Since then, thestudio disavowed any knowledge of the Warners to the public until the 90s when the Warnersescaped, and that’s when the original series takes place. Once the series ended in 1998, theywere presumed dead, until 2020 when they literally rose from their (career) graves and sold theirsouls for a new series (no I’m not kidding, both of those things happened). And so, the Warnersare causing havoc in the studio once more, hopefully for good. I like how the story was handled inboth the original and the reboot of the show. It makes it more unique than other shows byacknowledging that they were created in a studio and that they haven’t been on TV since theearly 2000s.

The Warner Brothers and sister are zany animal-like creatures named Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.Yakko is the tall one wearing the tan pants and belt, he’s 14 years old, and a wise cracker.Wakko is the shorter one wearing the red baseball cap and blue turtleneck sweater and themost insane of the siblings. He says he’s 7 in the “hello nurse” song but Tom Ruegger (co-creator) says he’s 11. And finally, Dot is the shortest one wearing the pink skirt and flower.She’s 11 years old, has wit, and says if you call her Dottie you die (no I’m not kidding, she saidthat in the original series). The Warners are basically my favorite characters of the show. I lovetheir design, they look like furry animals, like cats or dogs, but it’s very abstract so you don’tknow what animal they are. I also love how their zany personalities get in the way of othercharacters. My only problem with them is that they seem a bit less zany and more intelligentthan in the original series.

Pinky and the Brain are two lab mice who plan to conquer the world. While I do think thathaving a genius paired up with an idiot has been done before, Pinky and the Brain just havesomething special about them. I don’t know what it is, but it’s there. Brain is serious andbasically abuses Pinky when he does something dumb. And Pinky is loyal to Brain, eccentric,foils Brain’s plans, and is obviously dumb. What I like about Pinky is all of hismisunderstandings. For example, if someone said the word “amuck” he might hear the word“duck”.

The humor in the original relied on adult, slapstick, and pop culture humor, and it did it muchbetter than other shows. Is the humor just as good in the reboot? Yes, the humor is mostly thesame. However, the grownup jokes seem to be a bit toned down. Seeing how the censors arelike these days I wasn’t surprised, but that does take away one of the main selling points ofAnimaniacs. The slapstick also doesn’t seem to be as good, but the pop culture jokes on theother hand are great. What’s even better is that the humor is up to date, so now nothing isoutdated, and everything is funny again, right? But, here’s the catch. This modern humor alsoincludes internet culture such as memes and iPhones. It’s time for good idea, bad idea. Goodidea: create original humor that all generations can enjoy. Bad idea: Take what Gen Zs thoughtwas funny on the internet and incorporate it into your show. Yeah, 4/5 times an internet joke ina show ends up being unfunny and can ruin its image. Very few shows have been able to makeit work, does Animaniacs make it work? Well…

Yes! Animaniacs nailed what very few shows were able to do, and that is to modernize thehumor. This reboot isn’t unfunny in any way. In fact, it might even be better than the originalbecause of the humor alone. I love the way they joke about the Leeroy Jenkins meme, DonaldTrump, and even the Soviet Union (no I’m not kidding, there’s a whole episode making fun ofthe Soviet Union). This is one of the very few reboots done right. Overall, this reboot is perfect.It does have its share of awkward moments but other than that, it’s perfect. Looks like theWarner Brothers and sister are still animany, totally insainy, and cockamamie, Animaniacs.Those are the facts!

All of the kids around here, even kids fromthe top of mountain, come to visit our Minty Friend.The Voidcritter Hunt and YamaChan are the main parts ofthe Youth Festival. We celebrate our kids and teens for being the face of the future. We also have specialvending machines just for festivals. Oh no, I forgot whatever you do, read the stickers on the sides. One of themsays, “Never shake the vending machine. They are very sensitive and you don’t hurt their feelings.” Another onesays, “And if they do they will squish you. Not because of you hurting their feelings, no not that it’s due togravity."

As we walk a little closer we can see my parents' favorite Lounge called Hazakura Lounge. You can get somedrinks and chat with locals and tourists. You can even listen to our newest local musician and maybe evensome karaoke. Well that’s what my friends say.The most evil things is my parents have the “taming of the shoe”sign they got from the build buy catalog they use. There’s a lot of items in this catalog. In each town, they getmore stuff. Here’s a picture of the Newest Catalog.The Snow Collection based off our culture and architecturallands. So remember to get that if you want some figurines or a new countertop. You can even get theYamaChan Statue so you can have him forever in your house!

Let’s move up north to the more slow town and older part of town: Senbamachi. It translates to Thousand LeafTown. I live here, so let’s make a pit stop at my house! Take some photos of the map or my house, but justmake sure you tag me on Simstagram .Just breathe the fresh air, and just calm down and wind down.

"It’s a very nice house anyway. Let’s walk towards the daily hike board. You're going to need some bug spray.Let’s just say the lighting bugs are in season, and they are moving south from the mountain tops to here. Butdon’t worry, they don’t hurt a lot. Let's go to the temples. It gets very beautiful around these parts.Let's keepwalking to the new festival around the Festival of Lights.

The town up here is Yakamastu. All tourists love it here because that’s where all of the snow is. There are someswanky rentals up here. But the center piece itself is the mountain That’s the place where my mom and my dadmet. She was a an excellent rock climber, and he was not. She was an amazing cook of raw fish, and he was not.They climbed together until they were at the top. They were married here and wrote their initials up there.Speaking of mountain, that’s a new social gathering spot.

The mountain excursion lets you and some other Sims climb the mountain and get the secret lot. Just packsome water, tents, and food you need. But let’s not climb the mountain right now. Let’s go to the Slopes whereyou can see adrenaline-seeker Sims flying down the mountain. The festival here is the Snow Festival. It is snowyall the time so why not celebrate that! Enjoy some festive snow sculptures or some nice Ikayaki (or yummy friedsquid is what I like to call it)!

Well, that’s the tour! I hope you stay around and play with us soon. So grab your gear, pack a lunch, and sometents. Pack some warm clothes to enjoy all of the mountain fun!
