WindRiver: A Legacy of Excellence Continues with East Tennessee's Premier Lakefront and Golf Community
Ayres Family's Generational Commitment to East Tennessee Culminates in a Luxury Community on Tellico Lake TELLICO LAKE, TN - WindRiver, East Tennessee's premier gated lakefront and golf community, represents more than just luxury living – it embodies a multigenerational commitment to excellence that spans over a century. Developed by Joe and Joseph Ayres, whose family roots in East Tennessee trace back to the late 1800s, WindRiver stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the region's most distinguished families. The Ayres family's connection to East Tennessee runs deep, with Joseph representing the sixth generation of Tennessee Volunteers. The family legacy began with Joseph's great-grandfather, Dr. Brown Ayres, who settled in the area in the late 1800s and served as the 12th president of the University of Tennessee from 1904 to 1919. Dr. Ayres' visionary leadership transformed the university, securing its first million-dollar appropriation from the Tennessee General Assembly in 1917 and establishing the foundation for modern higher education in the state. His lasting impact is commemorated in Ayres Hall, the iconic building that bears his name on the University of Tennessee campus. 'Our family's ties to East Tennessee go back generations,' said Joe Ayres, developer of Windriver alongside his son Joseph. 'Our vision, since day one, has been for WindRiver to be the best of the best in everything we do. We've worked every day to make WindRiver the top lakefront and golf community in Tennessee!' As CEO of Cumberland Securities, specializing in financial advisory and investment banking for local governments, Joe Ayres has continued the family tradition of sound leadership and community service. Working alongside his father, Joseph Ayres represents the next generation of family leadership at WindRiver. A former college football player turned entrepreneur. His commitment to creating the best-in-class resort-style lakefront community reflects the family's enduring dedication to excellence and their vision for creating something that will last the test of time. The Ayres family has been a substantial benefactor to the local community for years, following in the footsteps of Dr. Brown Ayres, who was known for his innovations in education, technology, and public service. Under his tenure at the University of Tennessee, the institution saw significant improvements in academic standing, admission standards, and enrollment growth. Today, this legacy continues with Joe and Joseph Ayres working together to ensure WindRiver represents the pinnacle of resort-style community development. WindRiver: Where Legacy Meets Luxury - Nestled along the pristine shores of Tellico Lake, just minutes from Knoxville, WindRiver offers breathtaking views of both the Great Smoky and Cumberland Mountains. The community represents the culmination of the Ayres family's vision for creating spaces where natural beauty and abundant amenities come together to create the ideal place to live and enjoy life.

The Best Jeremy Renner And Elizabeth Olsen Team-Up Isn't A Marvel Movie, It's Neo-Western Crime Film
In the unforgiving icy landscapes, where silence isn't just golden but pervasive, we find ourselves engulfed in the gritty narrative that unfolds in Wind River. Starring Jeremy Renner, an actor who never shies away from complex, layered characters, this movie beckons viewers into a world that is as beautiful as it is brutal. In the hauntingly serene yet savage terrains of the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, the story spirals around the relentless pursuit of justice. The film is held taut by the directorial skill of Taylor Sheridan, an artist adept at weaving narratives that strike a fine balance between raw realism and intricate storytelling. Jeremy Renner embodies Cory Lambert, a seasoned wildlife officer with a knack for tracking predators in the harsh wilderness. His path intertwines with Jane Banner, a fresh and somewhat unprepared FBI agent portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen. Together, they navigate the unsettling and bitterly cold territory, both literally and figuratively, as they try to unravel the mystery behind the gruesome death of a local young woman. Their journey is not just a search for a murderer but also a deep dive into the socio-economic intricacies and the grim realities of life on the reservation. Sheridan skillfully unravels a world where despair often overshadows hope, and where the landscape mirrors the harsh lives of its inhabitants. Well-rounded performances by a cast that includes Gil Birmingham add more depth to the narrative. Birmingham brings life to the role of Martin, the grief-stricken father struggling to come to terms with his daughter's tragic loss. Together, Wind River's stellar ensemble cast takes us on a journey that is as much about personal redemption as it is about justice, giving audiences a glimpse into the bleak realities that lie in the hidden corners of America's frontiers. Critics praised the film's tense exploration of justice and grief within the context of Native American reservation life, calling it a haunting and socially resonant thriller. It holds an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.7/10 on IMDb. Audiences responded positively to its emotional depth and stark realism, with many citing it as one of the year's overlooked gems. If you've only seen Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen together in Marvel movies, make it a point to give Wind River a chance.

‘Untamed' Review: Netflix's Best New Show Is A Murder Mystery With A Killer Setting
Untamed Two mountain climbers scale the sheer cliffside of Yosemite National Park's El Capitan in the opening moments of Netflix's new murder mystery miniseries, Untamed. This alone is enough to make me squeamish. I don't like heights. I've never understood the appeal of repelling up a mountain, only a dizzying drop to certain death below. Of course, this is no ordinary ascent. As they grapple their way up, a young woman topples down. She's caught in the rope, almost bringing the two climbers down with her. It's a harrowing moment. Light spoilers follow. What looks like a possible suicide is quickly revealed to be something far more sinister, and an investigation kicks off led by taciturn Investigative Services Branch (ISB) agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana). Turner is a man of few words, the sort of grizzled, stoic mountain man that prefers a horse to a truck, and animals to people. He's also very good at his job, just as comfortable interrogating suspects as he is navigating perilous wilderness terrain. He's joined in his investigation by rookie National Park Service ranger Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago) who left her police job in Los Angeles – and a bad relationship – behind to start a new life with her young son. Vasquez is as green as they come, but she's a quick learner. Turner doesn't really like working with people, but he's given no choice. Chief Park Ranger Paul Souter (Sam Neill) makes sure of that. From here, the investigation leads our heroes down an increasingly dark path, first to identify the young woman and then to find out if foul play was involved. Of course, peeling back the truth of the woman's death leads to many other unpleasant revelations. These involve illicit activity in the park as well as Turner's tragic backstory involving his now ex-wife Jill (Rosemarie DeWitt) and their son, who died several years earlier. Untamed The series reminds me a lot of other shows like The Killing, though it's able to fit the entire story into an economical six episodes instead of the 26 that make up that show's first case. In this sense, there's little new or innovative about Untamed. In fact, if The Killing and Taylor Sheridan's (excellent) movie Wind River had a baby, Untamed would be it. Much of the appeal here is in its two main leads: Eric Bana and Yosemite itself. Perhaps the series should have taken a page from Sheridan's biggest hit, Yellowstone, and used Yosemite for the title. It's mostly filmed in British Columbia, but it's gorgeous to look at regardless. The rich forest terrain, the stunning mountains, all that wilderness hiding so much of humanity's darkest secrets. Bana, meanwhile, really channels Pedro Pascal, or at least Pascal's performance in The Last Of Us. Like Joel, this is a man who lost a part of himself when he lost his child. He's turned to booze and solitude and his work to distract himself from the pain and grief of that loss. I kept imagining Pascal in the role, though I'm glad we got Bana instead. Both are fine actors, but Pascal is simply in too many things these days, and Bana is terrific here, tapping into that rugged mountain man exterior while at the same time revealing a much more emotionally charged interior world. Untamed also made me wish that we'd get another season of True Detective from its original creator, Nic Pizzolatto, set in this kind of rugged wilderness. All three seasons of Pizzolatto's True Detective did such a great job of creating a sense of place (whether or not Season 2 worked all that well, the southern California it gave us was remarkably bleak in a way I've never really seen before or since). Seasons 1 and 2 captured the deep south and the Ozarks in grim splendor, making the places come alive in a way that few other shows have ever been able to achieve. Untamed never quite makes Yosemite feel like a real place, no matter how gorgeous the scenery. What it does do is give us a compelling, if not particularly original, mystery in a tight six-episode run, filled with good characters that are easy to root for (or against) and some nice twists and turns to keep us on our toes. This isn't an action-packed series. It's much more about following the clues down whatever mineshaft they lead. There are some moments of tension and even a couple good gunfights, but this is more detective work than shoot-em-up, which I appreciate. Is it groundbreaking? Not at all. Is it a bit too predictable? Absolutely. Is it still a fun watch with some good detective work and emotional beats that keep you invested in the main characters. I certainly thought so. No, this is not on the same level as True Detective, Mare Of Easttown or Happy Valley, but it's a solid watch that doesn't outwear its welcome. Give it a shot. P.S. It's kind of funny that Turner is an ISB agent, because when I think of ISB agents I think of these fine Imperial Security Bureau employees, just doing their best to maintain order in the galaxy: ISB
