Highview Arts Center Presents Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest
Directed by Jay Padillia, Oscar Wilde's classic tells the story of two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure.

View Staff Report
Kentucky's Waste Tire Collection Program was established in 1998 as part of the Energy & Environment Cabinet’s (EEC) ongoing efforts to rid Kentucky’s landscape of waste tires. The EEC contracts for the removal and delivery of the recovered tires to "beneficial end use" markets where they are recycled to become products such as tire-derived fuel or crumb rubber.
The program is supported by the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is funded when tire retailers collect a $2 fee on all new replacement motor vehicle tires sold. Retailers may retain five cents to offset administrative costs, but the balance is required to go in the Waste Tire Trust Fund, which is dedicated to managing scrap tires and developing sustainable markets for recycled tire products. To date, the Waste Tire Collection Program is responsible for the proper disposal of more than 19 million waste tires!
