FROM THE EDITOR Bonnie Glee says it was the mid-1970s when she first got a taste for writing.

After the speed limit along SR-165 was raised to 60 mph, the mother of five young children in Nibley penned a letter to the editor that was published in The Herald Journal suggesting that was too fast.

“I just wrote about how important it was to keep kids safe, and they soon lowered it down to 55 (mph),” Glee recalls. “That just

gave me a little taste. I remember thinking it was pretty cool to get published.”

Subsequently, Glee soon started writing poetry and short stories. She also served as the chapter president of the League of Utah Writers in the late ’70s and early ’80s.

“We had some wonderful times learning and talking about writing; it was a real grand experience,” Glee recalls. “It was a real advantage being in a college town and having so maybe wonderful people who could come and speak and teach.”

Born and raised in College Ward, Glee graduated from South Cache High School.

But after getting divorced, she ended up remarrying and moving to the Salt Lake

Valley in 1991.

The longtime writer recently had her first novel printed by Safkhet Publishing.

Entitled “Satin Murder,” it is a suspenseful story of a weathly socialite in 1950s Seattle. Glee will be signing copies of “Satin Murder” from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Hastings.

“I still call Cache Valley ‘home,’” Glee proclaims. “And I’m excited to come home.”

But surely not so excited that she’ll be speeding on the highway on her way into town.

WWII tank film ‘Fury’ delivers plenty of punch

By Aaron Peck Cache Magazine editor

The war is close to being over. Perhaps that’s why “Fury” captures such a brutal snapshot of human history. “The war is almost over, but before it is many more people have to die.”

It’s April 1945. The Americans are moving into Germany. Hitler is desperate. So desperate that he’s ordering all men, women and children to fight. Those who refuse are hung in the streets, as examples. It isn’t very long until you realize that you’ve entered a nightmarish hellscape, navigated by director David Ayer (“End AP Photo/Sony Pictures Entertainment of Watch”), where we witBrad Pitt stars as Sgt.

PET OF THE WEEK Available for adoption

★★★ ‘Fury’

Pet: Scooby From: Four Paws Rescue Why he’s so lovable: Scooby is a great dog. He is super mellow, gentle and loving. He is good with other dogs, kids and cats who don’t run from him. He is house-trained.

Scooby is also good on a leash.

He has been a mostly indoor dog and is very well-behaved indoors.

Scooby is about 8 years old and we think he could be a Great Dane mix. His adoption fee is $125, which includes neuter surgery and vaccinations (rabies and parvo/distemper). If you would like to meet Scooby, please call and leave a message at 752-3534 or email us at scfourpaws@hotmail.com.

Dallas Brass coming to the Eccles Theatre The Family and School series at the Ellen Eccles Theatre will start with a big, brass band bang at 7:30 p.m. Monday Oct. 20, with the talented brass ensemble Dallas Brass.

Founded in Dallas in 1983 by Levine, Dallas Brass has become one of America’s foremost musical ensembles.

If we were going to be curmudgeonly about it — and “St. Vincent” is, after all, a movie about a curmudgeon — we’d focus on the one major flaw in the film, and not on its pleasures.

But since those pleasures are so, well, pleasurable, we’ll do what Vincent — he’s the curmudgeon, brought wonderfully to life by the singular Bill Murray — would never do. We’ll focus on the positive.

Which is considerable.

Who wouldn’t want to spend 102 minutes in the company of Murray at his grumpy best — his eyes in a perpetual roll, annoyed by anyone and everything, but somehow earning affection from those who

“The Book of Life” might follow many of the well-worn paths of animated films gone before.

It may take the easy way out and end itself with an obligatory song-anddance number, which only tells the audience that they had no idea how to end it in the first place. Going into this movie you probably expect that, though.

It’s a kids’ movie. Asking too much from them is usually a fool’s errand.

However, when you factor in the unparalleled inventiveness of its animation — a computer-generated visual blend of the beauty of puppetry — “The Book of Life” suddenly becomes quite a bit more than you might suspect.

A group of detention students are sent on a field trip to the local museum. They’re greeted by a nice tour guide that promises them something special; you know, instead of the same old thing. The kids follow the guide into a hidden room which is full of historic Mexican artifacts, paintings and sculptures. It’s pretty clear that we’re going to get the movie in story form. As soon as the guide opens up “The

‘Time Out of Mind’ is rich study on Dylan

By David McFadden Associated Press

The second installment of Ian Bell’s twopart biography of Bob Dylan, “Time Out of Mind,” is a compelling, focused examination of the latter half of the elusive singersongwriter’s life and career, starting off with his acclaimed “Blood on the Tracks” album in 1975 and bringing readers close to the present day.

For Dylan’s many obsessive fans, who have been offered a wealth of analyses of this singular artist over the years, Bell delivers the goods. Chapters are heavy with engrossing and sometimes surprising details of Dylan’s most potent works and cringe-worthy missteps during this time, all told in the Scottish journalist’s sharp-sighted, biting style.

At its core, Bell’s ambitious work is more of an analysis of Dylan’s tangle of identities and creative visions than a standard biography of an arena-filling musician.

He meticulously documents Dylan’s oeuvre since 1975, including a lengthy stretch of artistic decline spanning the 1980s when the singersongwriter acclaimed as a dazzling, once-ina-lifetime genius for much of his youth was mostly being written off as a contrary hasbeen by his 40s.

“Between the appearance of the hectoring

evangelical Christian album ‘Saved’ in June of 1980 and 1997’s ‘Time out of Mind’ the test was to find a good word to say about Dylan’s

works, then to find more than a handful of people likely to give a damn,” he writes in a typically tough-minded passage.

But since the release of the Grammy-winning album “Time Out of Mind,” Bell convincingly argues a resurgent Dylan has forged an unprecedented renaissance and “vindicated himself” after a lengthy slump. In Bell’s words: “He had defied age, time and, above all, every prowling, mocking ghost that had ever borne the name Bob Dylan.”

Since 1997, with potent albums like “Modern Times” in 2006 and

“Tempest” in 2012, Bell claims that Dylan has created a body of work late in his life that could even match the dizzying achievements of the 1960s, his most revolutionary, incendiary stretch. Plus, Dylan pulled it off while contending with advancing age and a deteriorating voice that is a “magnificent ruin, a thing of wonder and dismay.”

To his credit, Bell is no hagiographer. Just as

Daley has been an emcee and featured performer at every cowboy festival in Canada, as well as most major festivals in the United States, including Texas, California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Montana and Oregon.

“Austin plays imaginative, original pieces and arrangements for solo guitar with a fine technique and excellent tone. If you like solo acoustic guitar, my guess is that you’ll find his music right up your alley.”

Utah Festival Conservatory classes kick off on Oct. 28 Classes in professional musical theater training at the Utah Festival Conservatory of the Performing Arts will begin Oct. 28, and registration is open now. Youth ages 4 to 18 years old can take a variety of lively classes in acting, dancing and musical theater, all taught by experienced and highly educated theatre professionals.

“These classes are invaluable for the amount of individual attention our students receive,” UFCPA director Stefan Espinosa says. “We have a great time, but we are serious about the techniques we teach. Students develop confidence and creativity, but we also focus on the students’ artistic growth and nurturing of talent.”

One additional benefit is directors get to know the young performers through weeks of classes instead of just through a three-minute audition.

It isn’t all death and viciousness, though. The brotherhood of Collier’s group is palpable. There’s a lot of “baptism by fire” sort of stuff that Norman has to endure.

The guys in the group have been killing Nazis a long, long time. It would seem that they’re somewhat jealous of Norman’s naivety.

They can’t wait to usher innocent Norman into the ranks of the depressed. They can’t stand that someone next to them isn’t experiencing the same ungodly experiences they are, so they’re quick to allay Norman of any happiness and hope. It’s sad, but necessary.

what makes him human is still there. It must be squashed without mercy.

Ayer doesn’t get too lost in the action though – which is all very well thought out and expertly crafted, by the way. He takes time to stop, look around, find beauty in the destruction, and then move on before we become too used to it.

“Fury” is captivating. It’s intense, packed with thrilling war scenes, and populated with enigmatic actors who know what they’re doing. Even though the movie may fall into some well-tread war movie tropes, the talent on screen is so good it’s difficult to notice or even care.

Pitt holds the movie firmly. All its other moving parts orbit around his screen presence. He effortlessly guides the story along with his stern looks, tough love and curt orders. It’s his hidden kindness that is refreshingly surprising, though. Through all the killing and death he’s been a part of, there’s still some humanity left in him.

Maybe there’s hope for Norman after all.
