I've not tried this - but what if you created a new div, and placed that div inside the #center div, but after #center-main div?

Since it is inside #center div, you can use its margin settings to move it into the area under the left column. You can give it a negative margin-top to move it up above where the center-main content ends.

This would only work if you are sure the left column content will not be long enough to interfere with it. If that is not the case - you can google "css make a div fill the available height" to look for techniques that you should be able to adapt to the #left-bar div.
