TRAFFIC ALERT
Antelope Valley Project Traffic Changes
Work on the Antelope Valley project will lead to changes on streets north of Nebraska Hall beginning this yesterday. 17th and 16th streets north of Nebraska Hall will be changed to one lane traffic (right lane only). This will allow the remaining lanes to be re-marked and re-painted. Also, during the week, signage will be updated and the intersection of Holdrege and 17th will be re-painted. A switch to two-way traffic on these streets is scheduled for Friday.
The speed limit on these streets will be reduced to 25 mph and there will be a police presence to remind drivers to slow down. Y Street between 17th Street and the railroad tracks (west of the
concrete plant) was scheduled to close on Monday, February 23. The map at the link below illustrates the traffic flow as it will be at the end of the week, when 16th and 17th streets in the area are switched to two-way traffic.

ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER, THROUGH MARCH 4
Now Showing at the Ross: Girl with a Pearl Earring, The Triplets of Belleville
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents the acclaimed films Girl with a Pearl Earring and The Triplets of Belleville, showing through March 4 at the center, 313 N. 13th St.
Director Peter Webber's film, Girl with a Pearl Earring, is set in Delft, Holland, 1665. After her father, a tile painter, is blinded in a kiln explosion, seventeen-year-old Griet must work to support her family. She becomes a maid in the house of Johannes Vermeer and gradually attracts the master painter's attention. Though worlds apart in upbringing, education and social standing, Vermeer recognizes Griet's intuitive understanding of color and light and slowly draws her into the mysterious world of his paintings.
Girl with a Pearl Earring will be preceded by the short film The Vest, written and directed by Paul Gutrecht.
From director Sylvain Chomet
comes the animated French film The Triplets of Belleville. It is the story of a boy named Champion who trains relentlessly for the Tour de France, with the help of his loyal grandmother and overweight dog, Bruno (who loves to bark at passing trains). But when the big race comes, Champion is kidnapped and shipped off to Belleville where The Triplets, former scat singing jazz prodigies turned experimental musicians, come to their rescue.
Filled with inspired, twisted imagery, this nearly dialogue-free film is a crowd-pleaser of unusual power, with the strange, measured pacing of a dream, and a great soundtrack of bizarre alternate-reality '30s jazz. It also has offers a touching and believable evocation of a dog's life. A great throwback to the time before animation became dominated by CGI effects; The Triplets of Belleville is a very strange, very loving French salute to obsession, affection, and persistence.
The Triplets of Belleville will be preceded by the short film Day Off the Dead, written and directed by Lee Lanier.
More information is available at the Ross website.
