foundation’s property may qualify for an agricultural exemption, which could reduce the property tax, but would not eliminate it.

“You’d need an act of the legislature to change it,” board member George Spragens said, although he added that he did not think that was likely.

The Supreme Court case stemmed from 2001, when PIC purchased 100 acres from the City of Prestonburg for $1 and a portion of the proceeds after the property was resold. PIC is a non-profit entity founded to attract business and industry and promote economic development.

The Floyd County PVA sought to tax the property. PIC claimed it was exempt

under Section 170 of the state constitution. The Kentucky Revenue Cabinet and the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals determined that the property was not

exempt from taxes because the PIC is not a governmental body or agency.

PIC appealed to Floyd Circuit Court, which ruled that the corporation was tax exempt. The Kentucky Court of Appeals upheld the cir-cuit court decision, but the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals.

In its majority opinion, the Supreme Court noted that it was being asked to decide if an organization that exists to promote economic develop-ment and job creation would qualify as a “purely” chari-table institution.

Justice Will T. Scott issued a dissenting opinion, argu-ing that PIC is a charitable institution, and that no one had questioned that from the

time it was created in 1968 until 2001.Foundation

INBRIEFGirl Scouts to celebrate

100 years in the U.S.

Saturday, March 12, will mark the 100th year of Girl Scouts in the United States.

Marion County's Girl Scouts will be celebrating next weekend with a birth-day party Sunday, May 20, at Graham Memorial Park.

In 2011, Marion County had 14 troops and more than 120 girls participating in Girl Scouts. Today, there are 3.2 million Girl Scouts - 2.3 million girl members and 890,000 adult members working primarily as vol-unteers.

Founder Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout Troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Ga. Girl Scouts of the USA was char-tered by the U.S. Congress on March 16, 1950.

“Marion County’s Got

Talent” set for June 2

Marion County residents will soon have the opportu-nity to audition for a chance to showcase their skills in the inaugural “Marion County’s Got Talent” set for Saturday, June 2. Singers, dancers, jug-glers, musicians, comedians, ventriloquists, magicians, and others with a unique talent they want to share are all invited to audition. The competition is being hosted by Kentucky Classic Arts (KCA) and Marion County 4-H.

Acts must be appropriate for all audiences. Participants will be divided into three age groups: pre-teens (9-12), teens (13-19), and adults

(20-99). Each group will have first, second, and third place winners. First place winners will receive a cash prize, and youth winners will also receive an invita-tion to showcase their talent at the Kentucky State Fair on the 4-H stage.

Those interested in com-peting should contact KCA at (270) 402-2196 or kyclas-sicarts@mail.com for audi-tions to take place May 21-22 at Centre Square from 6-8 p.m. Auditions do not guarantee a spot in the com-petition. Judges will select various acts from the audi-tions to perform on June 2, and each act will be noti-fied after the auditions as to whether or not they will be competing. If selected, a registration fee of $10 for a single or two-person act applies. A registration fee

of $15 will apply for acts containing three or more participants.

Marion County’s Got Talent will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday, June 2 at Angelic Hall in the Fine Arts Building at Centre Square, 237 N. Spalding Ave., Lebanon. Winners will be announced at 9:30 p.m. Entertainment and refresh-ments will be offered during while the judges deliberate.

The 4-day 400

Mile Sale is

longer than

everFrom May

31 to June 3, hundreds of yard sales will set up all along historic Hwy 68 f r o m the Ohio/Kentucky border near Old Washington to Sharpe, Kentucky just south of Paducah near the Illinois/Kentucky border. This year, the route has expanded to include a section of Hwy 641, which starts in Paris, Tenn., and travels north through Puryear, Hazel and Murray before connecting with Hwy 68 in Aurora.

Lebanon is centrally locat-ed on the route, so shoppers can travel north

one day and south the next from Lebanon. Nearly every antique shop along the route will be offering special dis-counts and sidewalk sales.

Shoppers can go to 400mile.com and click on yard sale locations to learn about other sales all along the route and some of the

items people will be selling. To get a yard sale listed free, just send an e-mail to sale@400mile.com and/or info@vistleba-

nonky.com.Last year, shop-

pers came from over 40 states, Canada and British Columbia. Shoppers from New York, California, Florida and many other states come back every year.
