Library Tidings by Kevin Mittge Book review Valiant Ambition By Nathaniel Philbrick “Valiant Ambition” is a book about the American Revolution, focusing on George Washington and Benedict Arnold — and the story of one man’s rise to great- ness and the other’s fall to infamy. Philbrick brings his mastery of narrative to a tumultuous time in the Revolution. Moving beyond the storied victories at Trenton and Princeton and the ordeal of the Continental army at Valley Forge, he shows how the injuries Arnold suffered at the Battle of Saratoga set Washington’s great- est fighting general on the road to treason. Arnold was an impulsive but sympathetic hero whose misfor- tunes at the hands of self-serving politicians undermined his faith in the legitimacy of the revolu- tion. By 1780, he had fled to the enemy after his failed attempt to surrender the American fortress at West Point to the British. During this same period, Washington came to embrace the full scope of his leadership, with an unmatched ability to rise above the petty politics of his time. Philbrick is also the author of In the Heart of the Sea, which was made into the recent movie, “Mayflower,” and “Sea of Glory,” among other works. His books are well-known for sound research and engrossing narrative. Free concert The library will present David Helfand and Justin Lader in con- cert at the library on Saturday, Dec. 3, at 2 p.m. Join an afternoon of vibrant, transcendental original music inspired by journeys to Cornwall, the Negev desert, and beyond, and featuring music from their brand new album, “Through the Portal.” Helfand is a multi-instrumen- talist who composes and per- forms original instrumental music on Celtic Harp, mandocel- lo, octave mandolin, guitar and keyboard; Helfand performs with friend and violist extraordi- naire, Lader.

Recipe from Southern Living THE KRAB KETTLE 280 Hwy. 101 (2 Blocks N. of Bridge) Florence MONDAY-SUNDAY 10-6 • 541-997-8996 On Nov. 18 and 19, two tal- ented students from the Siuslaw High School sym- phonic bands had a unique opportunity to perform with the internationally renowned little orchestra, Pink Martini. The engagement, produced by SEAcoast Entertainment Association and The Friends of the FEC, hosted rollicking twin nights of unparalleled energy at the Florence Events Center. Pink Martini has achieved worldwide acclaim, but that doesn’t mean its musicians have forgotten their musical beginnings. According to Claire Dennerlein, Pink Martini’s WEATHER DATA D ATE Nov. Nov.

Dennerlein has been coordi- nating a student outreach with Chris Rowbotham (SHS direc- tor of bands), SEAcoast Producer Sandy Kuhlman and SEAcoast Outreach Coordinator Rachel Pearson, to select two students to perform “Hang On Little Tomato” with the orchestra. All SHS band students were encouraged to learn the music and create a video audition, produced by Rowbotham, and reviewed by bandleader Thomas Lauderdale. Five students completed the videos: Chandler Call on stand- up bass; Jessy Keppol on bass clarinet; Logan Lindner on tenor sax; Blake Morrow on vibraphone; and Nic Wilkinson on trumpet. The selection decision was not an easy one, but Lauderdale chose Wilkinson and Morrow as best fitting the Pink Martini sound. Both students have learned the music thoroughly and attended rehearsal and sound checks on their show days in anticipation of the evening per- formances. The other three students received a complementary tick- et to one performance. Wilkinson and Morrow also received a pair of tickets and a bit of Pink Martini memorabil- ia. In addition, Pink Martini donated $200 to the SHS band L OW R AIN 42 38 38 43 49 47 43 0.54 0.41 0.16 0.22 0.48 1.44 0.66 Week: 3.91” Year: 67.00” Courtesy of Roger Cunningham Maintaining Financial Security Is Tougher Than Ever “We Can Help” • Specializing in tax strategies & preparation for individu- als, corporations, LLC’s, estates and trusts. • Business consulting including Quickbooks installation and training.

Most of the musicians in our band are classically trained and started playing at a young age, and we all feel fortunate to make a living in music. “We are excited to encour- age young musicians in your community to do the same!” Tickets for both performanc- es of Pink Martini in Florence sold out within a days.
