2012 Town Report & Warrant Town of Mount Desert 2013 Warrant and Report - 2012 Town Mount Desert of Town Town of Mount Desert 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 2012 ANNUAL REPORT Dedication Patti Reilly joined the community of Mount Desert in 2004. Patti embraced the Town with the enthusiasm and good humor she brought to all aspects of her life. Her natural interest and concern for her community led her to join the Planning Board in 2005 where she held the position of Secretary from 2005 to 2012. She was a member who could balance empathy for residents’ issues with the needs and rules of the Town. Patti was a great Planning Board member, but more importantly she was a good friend. Her smile was ever-present. Meeting Patti meant leaving as her newest friend – usually with an invitation to visit again. Her positive attitude and excitement for life rubbed off on those around her. Patti lost her life in January 2013 as the result of a car accident. Our Town was lucky to have her for the short time we did and she will be sorely missed. 3 Table of Contents Dedication

  • John Ford Birth Name: Sean Aloysius O'feeney Director, Producer
    John Ford Birth name: Sean Aloysius O'Feeney Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.
