“The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” features a stand-out cast led by Guy Ritchie regulars Henry Cavill and Eiza González, renowned German actor/director Til Schweiger, and Alan Ritchson on loan from the Netflix “Reacher” series. The film is inspired by the 2014 book “Churchill’s Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces of WWII” by war correspondent and author Damien Lewis. Needing a spark to counter the increasingly dire position of England battling Hitler before the U.S. joined the fight, British military command comes up with a plan to upend the Nazi U-boat supply chain. The problem is the target of the mission is an Italian supply boat which is located off the West African coast on an island under the Spanish flag. Spain is neutral in the war, and naval command refuses to green light the mission. As a result, Churchill forms the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and unleashes a rag-tag commando force to secretly sail to the island and sabotage the supply boat. If caught by the Germans, the un-uniformed soldiers would be executed. But if the SOE team is intercepted by British navy patrols, they would be imprisoned. The real mission took a whopping thirty minutes to execute, resulting in no assault team casualties and led to similar small team SOE deployments during the war.

American cemeteries usually look manicured and gothic, with iron, stone and rows of headstones. But what if cemeteries were more wild, with trails and animal habitat?. That’s Cheryl Fox and Shayna Starks’ pitch to Oakley City. Fox is the CEO of the Summit Land Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust, and Starks runs Starks Funeral Parlor in Millcreek. They believe in returning to the way humans used to bury their dead: returning bodies to the earth to decompose.

Family, friends and former athletes recently gathered to dedicate Wasatch High School’s Tolley Track to a local legend. It’s ironic that when the winningest track-and-field coach in Wasatch High School’s history moved to Heber in 1964, there wasn’t even a track. But one of Coach Verle Tolley’s many legacies was ditching the school’s use of the cinder track at the county fairgrounds and replacing it with a modern rubberized field of dreams at the high school.
