, student news writer CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Terry Forcht, owner of Forcht Banking, has donated $10,000 to Campbellsville University for athletics and student scholarships.

The money will go to the funding for new field turf for the football field and to the CU's scholarship fund.

The local Forcht bank donates $5,000 annually to Campbellsville University. They support the scholarship fund and the bank is an athletic corporate sponsor.

Forcht founded Forcht Group of Kentucky, an American holding company, which is comprised of 95 separate companies and over 2,100 employees. The group created the banking branch in 1985 with $1.5 million in assets. Forcht was born and raised in Louisville, KY, and graduated from Shawnee High School there. He earned his bachelor's degree and juris doctoral degree from the University of Louisville, and he received his master of business administration degree from University of Miami. His banking career began in 1972 when he was appointed to the director of Corbin Deposit Bank and Trust Company, which led to the creation of Forcht Banking, whose assets now top $1 billion, making it one of the top 10 largest banks based in Kentucky, according to the company web site.

One of these signs could save your life or the life of someone you love

(ADV) FFA Address Marker orders may be placed at Four Adair Co., KY businesses
We are announcing a new option to make it more convenient for people to place orders and pick up signs puchased from the Adair County FFA. Two local businesses have agreed to provide a location for people to place an order and pick up their sign when it is finished. You can now place an order at:

Day and Day Feed and Pet, 1011 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY

M & W Milling, 510 Short ST., Columbia, KY

Hardscratch Grocery, 7289 Hwy 55 South Road, Columbia, KY. In the Glensfork Community of Adair County. Phone (270) 384-4671

Burton Ace Hardware, 314 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY. Phone (270) 384-2696

We will pick up the orders every few days and call the person when the sign is ready to be picked up. Signs are still $15 and are a hot item for Chistmas since they fit perfectly into a large stocking. They are about the best gift I can think of for the person that already has everything and is hard to shop for. If a person wants a sign by Christmas, they will have to get their order in by December 15, 2010. which is the last day of school before break. Orders placed after this date will not likely be filled until after the New Year. -Kirby Hancock, Advisor, Adair County FFA
