]]> Voices from the Archive: Clinch Mountain Girls - Part 2 Joanne Irvin, Carolyn Novkov, Karen Berg, Lee Hoellman, Nancy Withington Bell 00:28:05 In this month's Voices from the Archive, we hear from The Clinch Mountain Girls. These five women came to Tennessee back in the ‘70s, many of them inspired by the Back to the Land movement. They set out on a bit of a quest, with a particular kind of work at the end of their path, and it wouldn’t be easy. They would eventually raise their own food. Some of them would build cabins from wood they harvested. They are good friends to this day. Part 2 is about how they learned to survive in their new environment, relationships with their neighbors, lessons learned the hard way, and fun animal stories. More stories of these women and nineteen others can be found in "Clinch Mountain Girls," an oral history written by Nancy Withington Bell, one of the interviewees for this story.

The stories from this program come from oral histories collected from community members from the East Tennessee region. As Jonesborough has a population consisting of families who have been here several generations as well as many transplants, the stories in this show go beyond the boundaries of Washington County, Tennessee, and reach as far as England in the 1940’s. Each story represents the important contributions of those brave individuals who show up first, often placing their own lives at risk, in order to keep their communities safe, and explores the many different kinds of “first responders” and includes some unexpected heroes.

Stories for this program come from oral histories collected through the region and also come from an oral history project led by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and features memories captured from Mary Nell Bacon Roberson, Alfred Greenlee, Shirley Meade, Virginia Maden, John B. Shanks, Jr., Becky Poteat Simms, and many more. They provide a glimpse into life on Main Street when horses were more in fashion than cars.  

Others remember the coming of electricity in the late forties and fifties out in the county; the fortitude it took to live off of the land; and for some, like the Bean family, and in particular, Russell Bean, how hard living sometimes hardened the heart, as recalled by his eight-times great-grandson, Jonathan Edens.

From a romantic tale of teenage love on Beaucatcher Mountain in Asheville, to enduring relationships lasting 59 years like Elaine Cantrell's parents, these stories capture love in its many stages, including those awkward, clumsy moments. A mis-delivered piece of mail leads to an unlikely marriage. A serenade is bungled when the words in the song conveys the wrong message.

"Visitors and Travelers" first aired July 27, 2015. Since its founding in the late 1700's, Jonesborough has always welcomed travelers, serving as the last town before the wild frontier of the west. The old Stagecoach Road runs through Jonesborough. The dawning of the train age set tracks through town, and the train whistle is still heard several times a day. The Historic Chester Inn housed visitors "from off", with its parlor serving as the town's center of news and stories from afar. This episode is filled with stories of travelers through the years, some touching down for a moment, others returning and setting roots, but all of them having an impact on the Town's growth and change through the centuries.

Our stories are important, so we got creative in how to present them. StoryTown Radio Show honors Memorial Day with a special broadcast as the cast performs a radio-play version of Jules Corriere’s one-act play Not All That I Carry. First performed as a stage show, the play is based on stories from members of the Jonesborough Senior Center, especially centering around the subject of World War II, World War I, and the Great Depression. The people in Not All That I Carry were called the Greatest Generation. They did what was asked of them, and lived through very difficult times. We are all now living in historic and difficult times, too. How we are dealing with these times here in Jonesborough has been heartening. “We’re reaching out to each other, not physically, but virtually. We’re supporting our local businesses at curbside pick-ups. Our educators have, in a moment’s notice, created engaging online learning opportunities for our children. We’re providing food to those in need through school lunch pick-up and at the food pantry. We’re doing great things, even if in small ways. But each of our small sacrifices help to uplift us all.” Corriere says, and finishes with a thoughtful question: “What will our generation be called, after this global pandemic is over? Our actions will define that. In Jonesborough and Washington County, I’d like to think we’ll be known as the Caring Generation.” *Note- Due to COVID 19, this production was recorded remotely using Skype, instead of our usual live performance at the International Storytelling Center.

But our stories connect us to this time, and also reach back to earlier times of change. We made it then, and we’ll make it now. And I think that’s why we feel it is important to tell these stories this month, even if we’re presenting them in a different format.” Says show creator Jules Corriere about this month's special performance of the StoryTown Radio Show. The stories this month come from people in the region who are front line workers, essential workers, and families quarantined at home but doing what they can to help. The program also features stories from past crises to learn from. Usually performed live in front of an audience at the International Storytelling Center, this time the cast performs from the safety of their own homes, recorded one by one in a series of monologues that are filled with moments of tension, challenge, and hope. All of the stories, past and present, all have this message: We are in this together, and together, we will come through it stronger and more committed to our future. “We never imagined the changes our community, our country, and the world would be facing.

]]> Fair Play Wallace Shealy, Anne G'Fellers-Mason, Jules Corriere, sara elizabeth 00:36:31 This episode is filled with stories from Tennessee’s Appalachian Mountains, including Jonesborough, the oldest town in Tennessee. Featured are tales about fair play in sports and life, including the struggles of a left handed student who was less than a stellar athlete, a mother whose drive to win in a game of soccer might just get her in trouble with her son, and an epic game of hide and seek gone wrong. These stories also celebrate Black History Month and the rich, African American heritage of our region.
