'The Entertainer' depicts old Hollywood
[Margaret Talbot] doesn't shy away from considering her father's limitations as a performer. He joined those actors unhappy with the unbridled demands of the studios in founding the Screen Actors Guild, which didn't enamor him with Warner Bros. While good-looking and talented, he lacked the screen presence to become a major star and wasn't clever about nurturing his career. He accepted practically any role, especially from the 1940s on, when he was no longer under contract. That's how he ended up in films directed by cult figure Ed Wood, one of them the infamously awful \"Plan 9 From Outer Space.\" Talbot's daughter writes less about his famous co-stars than the environment in which they worked. Of particular interest are the so-called pre-Code Hollywood films -- \"Three on a Match\" and \"Heat Lightning\" are two of Talbot's -- that were made after the formation of self-censorship rules in 1930 and their actual enforcement in the mid-1930s.

County OKs plans for ethanol facility
\"I like the fact it's a green product and doesn't create additional waste that goes back into the landfill,\" [Esther L. Valadez] said. \"I'm disappointed,\" [Lyle Talbot] said. \"I requested they delay the vote and hold a hearing in the Antelope Valley, but they didn't.\" \"Instead of shipping the trash long distances for disposal, we want to develop these new conversion technologies and manage the trash right there on site,\" said Coby J. Skye, associate civil engineer in the Environmental Programs Division for public works.

'BLOOD ALLEY' GETTING CLEANUP MAJOR CLOSURES EXPECTED ALONG HIGHWAY 138
\"Widening of 138 is such an important project for us,\" said Douglas Failing, Caltrans' director for the district covering Los Angeles and Ventura counties. \"It's more than just a local road. Highway 138 has become such an important bypass. Many people are using it to avoid coming through the Los Angeles basin.\" The road closure was planned because it wasn't safe to have vehicles traveling on a 24-foot-wide road as construction crews brought down hills and filled canyons bordering the road, and extended drainage culverts beneath it, said Dennis Green, construction community liaison for the Caltrans district covering San Bernardino County. Photo: (color in AV edition) Each day about 17,000 vehicles travel along the two-lane section of Highway 138 from 146th Street East to 165th Street East, where construction has begun to add a lane in each direction, plus a center turn lane and paved shoulders.

SEWAGE LAND DEAL SOUGHT; AGENCY SEEKS USE OF FOUR MILES AT BASE
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE - Facing a 2005 deadline to stop the overflow of effluent from the Lancaster sewage treatment plant onto Rosamond Dry Lake, sanitation district officials are exploring the idea of leasing land from Edwards Air Force Base for evaporation ponds. The occasional overflows onto the dry lake bed are a symptom of a greater problem: the district's need for additional capacity to handle the region's projected growth. The Lancaster plant has the capacity to handle about 12 million gallons of sewage a day but will need to handle 22.2 million to 25.7 million gallons per day by the year 2020 to deal with anticipated population growth. [Lyle Talbot] favors the lease arrangement coupled with a water recycling program in the city of Lancaster. Lancaster officials are working on a proposal initially to use 1.5 million gallons of recycled water on street median landscaping.

AQMDS SHARE STAFF; DESERT, VALLEY BOARDS INK PACT
Mojave District staffers gave the Antelope Valley board bad advice in 1998 by warning that it faced a lawsuit if it ordered a proposed sewage- sludge composting operation to be enclosed, and they later watered down a letter urging state restrictions on the use of sewage sludge as farm fertilizer, [Lyle Talbot] said. The Antelope Valley district has a Lancaster office with three employees, and it can call on a share of work from the 40 employees in the the Mojave Desert district's Victorville office, officials explained.

BASE REPORTS PROGRESS ON TOXIC CLEANUP
Edwards' interest in cleaning up contamination seems genuine, but there is concern that the budget-conscious Air Force might not always choose the best methods for protecting inhabitants or the environment, said Lyle Talbot, a member of Desert Citizens Against Pollution, an Antelope Valley watchdog group. The trench cleanup is an example of that. The Air Force was leaning toward covering the area with asphalt or other material and leaving the trenches' contents in place. The Air Force had to be talked into the excavation plan, Talbot said. Desert Citizens Against Pollution sent copies of the base's preliminary engineering and cost analysis for the excavation project to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for independent evaluations, Talbot said.
