Bill Lancaster
William Henry "Bill" Lancaster (November 17, 1947 – January 4, 1997) was an American screenwriter and actor.
Biography
He was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Burt Lancaster and Norma Anderson. He developed polio at an early age, leaving one of his legs shorter than the other.
Lancaster, a lookalike for his famous father at the time, guest-starred in an episode of the television series The Big Valley in 1967. In 1973, Lancaster played the role of "King", the boyfriend of a murdered college coed in The Midnight Man, a mystery film starring and co-directed by his father, released in 1974.
Lancaster's best known work is his adapted screenplay for John Carpenter's The Thing. He also penned the original screenplays for The Bad News Bears films.
He is featured in the documentary The Thing: Terror Takes Shape, found on the collector's edition DVD of The Thing. Lancaster states that he did not think Who Goes There? was a "great" story, but that he responded to the tale's sense of claustrophobia and paranoia. The documentary is dedicated to him because of his death shortly after it was filmed.

Bill Lancaster (aviator)
Captain William Newton Lancaster (14 February 1898 – 20 April 1933, Tanezrouft, Algeria) was a pioneering British aviator.
Early life
Born in Birmingham, England, Lancaster emigrated to Australia prior to World War I. In 1916, he joined first the Australian Arm and later the Australian Flying Corps. He remained in Britain after the war and joined the Royal Air Force, marrying Anne Maude Besant in 1919 and serving in India during the 1920s. He was promoted to flying officer from pilot officer on 30 April 1921.
England to Australia
In 1927, Lancaster transferred to the RAF Reserve (he continued to hold a commission until 30 April 1930), and decided to make a name for himself by flying from England to Australia. He made this flight in the Avro Avian Red Rose, accompanied by Australian Jessie "Chubbie" Miller, who helped finance the flight. It was at the time one of the longest flights made in such a small aircraft—although they were overtaken en route by Bert Hinkler in another Avian—and the first England-Australia flight by a woman. A huge crowd greeted them on arrival in Darwin, and on their subsequent tour around Australia.

Synopsis Nicholas Wood and George Elliot shared many similarities: both were sons of colliery overmen; they attended the acclaimed ‘Craigy’s Academy’ at Crawcrook; railway building became a major part of Wood and Elliot’s early business careers and they were central players in the development of deep coalmining in East Durham. Elliot and Wood quickly profited from the riches of the new deep seams becoming substantial coal owners with rail and other industrial interests. They adopted the lifestyle of the coal owning elite buying substantial domestic properties and were major figures in regional society.

New Erie County Department of Public Works’ Highway Barn In Lancaster Nears Completion
The Erie County Department of Public Works’ Highways Division is nearing completion of a new Highway Barn on Cemetery Road in Lancaster that will replace an obsolete Barn in Clarence the Department had been using for operations.

Synopsis
Nicholas Wood and George Elliot shared many similarities: both were sons of colliery overmen; they attended the acclaimed ‘Craigy’s Academy’ at Crawcrook; railway building became a major part of Wood and Elliot’s early business careers and they were central players in the development of deep coalmining in East Durham. Elliot and Wood quickly profited from the riches of the new deep seams becoming substantial coal owners with rail and other industrial interests. They adopted the lifestyle of the coal owning elite buying substantial domestic properties and were major figures in regional society. Lacking the status of the traditional regional aristocracy they nevertheless were well aware that the prosperity of the dukes and lords of north east England depended upon the skills of themselves and their colleagues who formed the first generation of professional mining engineers.
Yet these men possessed strikingly different characters. Wood was a brilliant engineer with a penchant for detail, a superb draughtsman and a major figure in the creation of the railway system. He was George Stephenson’s right-hand man and his apprentice was young Robert Stephenson. To describe Nicholas as the third Stephenson is not an exaggeration. He worked closely with George on early locomotive development both as a fellow designer and as the largely illiterate Stephenson’s technical author and secretary. His defence of George in the controversy with Sir Humphrey Davis during the controversy of the invention of the safety lamp revealed both shock at Davis’s perceived plagiarism and his unshakeable loyalty to Stephenson and the northern engineering tradition of trial and error undertaken with empirical exactness and disdain for the model driven science of the London establishment.
At a meeting of mining viewers managers and engineers in a pub in Seaham in 1852 to consider the contemporary mining disasters scandal George Elliot proposed the foundation of a professional organisation to promote colliery safety. Elliot’s proposal resulted in the formation of the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers with Nicholas Wood unanimously elected President.
Nicholas Wood was somewhat taciturn in character, could be pompous and later in his career stubborn and hostile to ideas that did nor emanate from himself and his own circle. George Elliot was rather different. His early success mirrored that of Wood’s and his local reputation was assured when he became the owner of the pit where he had worked as a ten-year-old ‘trapper boy’. Elliot was to soon overtake Wood in economic and social stature: he daringly acquired the South Wales colliery and shipping interests of Powell Duffryn; established the port of Newport; bought iron and steel works; began the manufacture of wire ropes and his company pioneered the underwater telegraph cable and laid the trans-Atlantic link arguably the foundation of the internet. He was elected President of the Institute in 1868. Elliot was elected Tory MP, became close to Disraeli and was awarded a knighthood for his role in helping to solve the middle eastern crisis of the early 1870’s.
Despite these achievements both men had imperfections which will be discussed in this talk.

The $9.2 million investment creates a far more efficient, effective, and better-located structure for Departmental operations in the district. Erie County Executive Mark C.

“This new Highway barn replaces an aged building that was serviceable over the years but wasn’t designed to be a Highway barn in the first place. With this investment we have a new facility that can serve the modern needs of the Highway department,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “We will continue investing in infrastructure and operations to better serve county residents.”
Located at 125 Cemetery Road in Lancaster, the new barn is a 21,500sf pre-engineered steel building with an attached 2,500sf attached support suite. The suite is equipped with a vehicle storage area; five overhead doors; three vehicle repair bays; mezzanine; welding area; wash bay; offices; locker rooms; secure storage; break room; and equipment rooms.
Commissioner of Public Works Bill Geary added, “Having this new facility will greatly improve the efficiency of our operations year-round but especially in the winter plowing season. This location is more central to the district and gives us the ability to be on the roads quicker, while at the same time providing the modern facilities that our fleet requires.’

In the early hours of 21st April 1932, a young writer called Haden Clarke was found shot in the head as he lay in bed, at a bungalow in Coral Gables, Florida. The following morning he died. He left suicide notes to the two famous aviators he shared the bungalow with - Captain Bill Lancaster and Chubbie Miller.
Detectives at the scene believed it was a case of suicide - but the dead man's mother doubted her son had written the notes, and the gun found at the scene had been purchased by the other man, Captain Lancaster, just two days previously.

Synopsis
Nicholas Wood and George Elliot shared many similarities: both were sons of colliery overmen; they attended the acclaimed ‘Craigy’s Academy’ at Crawcrook; railway building became a major part of Wood and Elliot’s early business careers and they were central players in the development of deep coalmining in East Durham. Elliot and Wood quickly profited from the riches of the new deep seams becoming substantial coal owners with rail and other industrial interests. They adopted the lifestyle of the coal owning elite buying substantial domestic properties and were major figures in regional society. Lacking the status of the traditional regional aristocracy they nevertheless were well aware that the prosperity of the dukes and lords of north east England depended upon the skills of themselves and their colleagues who formed the first generation of professional mining engineers.
Yet these men possessed strikingly different characters. Wood was a brilliant engineer with a penchant for detail, a superb draughtsman and a major figure in the creation of the railway system. He was George Stephenson’s right-hand man and his apprentice was young Robert Stephenson. To describe Nicholas as the third Stephenson is not an exaggeration. He worked closely with George on early locomotive development both as a fellow designer and as the largely illiterate Stephenson’s technical author and secretary. His defence of George in the controversy with Sir Humphrey Davis during the controversy of the invention of the safety lamp revealed both shock at Davis’s perceived plagiarism and his unshakeable loyalty to Stephenson and the northern engineering tradition of trial and error undertaken with empirical exactness and disdain for the model driven science of the London establishment.
At a meeting of mining viewers managers and engineers in a pub in Seaham in 1852 to consider the contemporary mining disasters scandal George Elliot proposed the foundation of a professional organisation to promote colliery safety. Elliot’s proposal resulted in the formation of the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers with Nicholas Wood unanimously elected President.
Nicholas Wood was somewhat taciturn in character, could be pompous and later in his career stubborn and hostile to ideas that did nor emanate from himself and his own circle. George Elliot was rather different. His early success mirrored that of Wood’s and his local reputation was assured when he became the owner of the pit where he had worked as a ten-year-old ‘trapper boy’. Elliot was to soon overtake Wood in economic and social stature: he daringly acquired the South Wales colliery and shipping interests of Powell Duffryn; established the port of Newport; bought iron and steel works; began the manufacture of wire ropes and his company pioneered the underwater telegraph cable and laid the trans-Atlantic link arguably the foundation of the internet. He was elected President of the Institute in 1868. Elliot was elected Tory MP, became close to Disraeli and was awarded a knighthood for his role in helping to solve the middle eastern crisis of the early 1870’s.
Despite these achievements both men had imperfections which will be discussed in this talk.

The Erie County Department of Public Works’ Highways Division is nearing completion of a new Highway Barn on Cemetery Road in Lancaster that will replace an obsolete Barn in Clarence the Department had been using for operations. The $9.2 million investment creates a far more efficient, effective, and better-located structure for Departmental operations in the district. Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz was joined today by Erie County Commissioner of Public Works Bill Geary and Public Works’ personnel to review the new building and sign a steel beam that will “top off” the structure.
“This new Highway barn replaces an aged building that was serviceable over the years but wasn’t designed to be a Highway barn in the first place. With this investment we have a new facility that can serve the modern needs of the Highway department,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “We will continue investing in infrastructure and operations to better serve county residents.”
Located at 125 Cemetery Road in Lancaster, the new barn is a 21,500sf pre-engineered steel building with an attached 2,500sf attached support suite. The suite is equipped with a vehicle storage area; five overhead doors; three vehicle repair bays; mezzanine; welding area; wash bay; offices; locker rooms; secure storage; break room; and equipment rooms.
Commissioner of Public Works Bill Geary added, “Having this new facility will greatly improve the efficiency of our operations year-round but especially in the winter plowing season. This location is more central to the district and gives us the ability to be on the roads quicker, while at the same time providing the modern facilities that our fleet requires.’

Bill Lancaster
William Henry "Bill" Lancaster (November 17, 1947 – January 4, 1997) was an American screenwriter and actor.
Biography
He was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Burt Lancaster and Norma Anderson. He developed polio at an early age, leaving one of his legs shorter than the other.
Lancaster, a lookalike for his famous father at the time, guest-starred in an episode of the television series The Big Valley in 1967. In 1973, Lancaster played the role of "King", the boyfriend of a murdered college coed in The Midnight Man, a mystery film starring and co-directed by his father, released in 1974.
Lancaster's best known work is his adapted screenplay for John Carpenter's The Thing. He also penned the original screenplays for The Bad News Bears films.
He is featured in the documentary The Thing: Terror Takes Shape, found on the collector's edition DVD of The Thing. Lancaster states that he did not think Who Goes There? was a "great" story, but that he responded to the tale's sense of claustrophobia and paranoia. The documentary is dedicated to him because of his death shortly after it was filmed.
