Ladies pipe favored by Almedia Frances Anderson Turner 2011-02-11 - Fortune ST, Columbia, KY - Photo from Geniece Leftwich Marcum. This broken pipe is a treasured heirloom belonging to Almedia Frances Anderson Turner, the much mentioned 'red-haired woman,' as she was referred to by Joseph Alexander Turner, writing as 'Paul Revere' in local newspapers of his day. She wasn't red-haired, but she really loved this pipe. The broken stem is as it was when she died. Mrs. Turner would fashion a reed stem to make do. The ornate bowl held about a thimble full of tobacco, tamped down. The tobacco was home grown leaf tobacco, crumbled by hand, no high dollar cheroots for this lady. Almedia Frances was the great great grandmother of Columbia's Patty Rush Jones and the great grandmother of Linda Waggener. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Dave Grigsby cellphone weather: - 9 degrees F! 2011-02-11 - Columbia, KY - Photo Coach Dave Grigsby. The Arctic Temperatures are getting worse: Lindsey Wilson Cycling Coach has recorded another low temperature for Columbia on his iPhone: -9 degrees. That's almost 10 degrees lower than the 0.09 degrees F recorded at the Columbia, KY Mesonet Weather Station. CM questions neither figure, but it may come down to whether the iPhone reading was taken in the Alpine reaches of Adair County, possibly from a moving bicycle and is in no way meant to be a question of whom are you going to trust, Steve Jobs or Stuart Foster? The former being an electronics gadgets promoter; the latter, a pioneering scientist at Western Kentucky University. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
