Artist in the dust revealed: Kellis Booth did it! Comments re photo 45842 Art Lines drawn in the dust By Sandy Coomer My son Jordan Coomer was at the Cafe on the Square when this was drawn. Kellis at the Cafe drew this while he was hanging out at the Cafe. It has been very popular. Several people have commented and taken pictures of my dirty van. I hate to see it get washed off. Chances are it will be there until we have a good rain. So everyone can watch for the Adair County Courthouse riding around in the dirt. The van belongs to Johnny Morgan. - Sandy Coomer Thanks! Sandy Coomer, for this great news: Just wonder where the talented Mr. Booth keeps all his hats: He a co-owner of the Cafe, He's a minister and will be hosting the big multi-church July 4 picnic at Jim Blair Park tomorrow, and now we know he's brought a whole new genre of public art to Columbia! Wouldn't surpise me to learn of other hidden talents. 2012-07-03 16:18:47 | Comments | Printable version

State property tax rate remains set at 12.2 cents for 2012 By Cindy Lanham News from Commonwealth News Service FRANKFORT, KY (July 2, 2012) - The Kentucky Department of Revenue has set the 2012 State Real Property Tax Rate at 12.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. Kentucky Revised Statute 132.020 requires the Department of Revenue to set the real property rate no later than July 1 of each year. This rate is based on the revenue generated from the increase in taxable real property assessments from 2011 to 2012. If the increase in revenue is more than four percent after the exclusion of new property added to the tax roll during 2012, then the prior year rate must be reduced. Because the assessment increase for 2012 is estimated at 1.03 percent, the state rate will remain the same as the 2011 rate, 12.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. The rate has remained unchanged since 2008. All of the revenue generated from the state property tax rate will go into the state's General Fund. - Cindy Lanham 2012-07-03 13:19:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky

National Weather Service site has new look The National Weather Service website has better look this morning - and along with it some better weather, at least as far as the heat and drought is concerned. The high today is only 93. And there are some chances of rain, albeit in the form of thunderstorms. Columbia received a little dust-setting sprinkle last night, enough to interrupt the City Council meeting with a call to open the windows to see the spectacle of life giving rain once again. Although the CM weather always carries quick links to the Mesonet Weather Stations in the 7-County area, and links to Hazardous Weather with a brief from the National Weather Service, those in a hurry to see the new National Weather Service site should click to: National Weather Service, right now. -CM 2012-07-03 04:47:07 | Comments | Printable version

South Central Printing offers City flag replacement idea An idea for saving the City of Columbia some money By Ralph Roy Waggener South Central Printing could furnish plastic core board yard sign size in 4/4 color to replace the flags or some of the flags. We could have a variety of informational materials on the poles. I don't know how they would be hung that would have to be figured out. The signs in 4/4 color are very inexpensive and we would furnish at our cost and take care of the freight by picking up with our delivery van. They come in various sizes Also we can furnish big signs like we did for Dakota Myers to go on building sides like the building beside the parking lot in front of our new Courthouse. Again at our cost Thanks. Little brother Ralph Roy South Central Printing, 426 Wain Street, Columbia, KY 2012-07-03 03:27:43 | Comments | Printable version
