Still from "The Rider"Photo: ProvidedThe new Over-the-Rhine International Film Festival debuting next week is quite a change from the old ReelAbilities Film Festival. Or is it?Since 2013, the nonprofit Living Arrangements for the Developmentally Disabled (LADD) organization has presented three local installments of the ReelAbilities Film Festival, the largest North American event dedicated to showing films that promote awareness and appreciation of people with disabilities. LADD began presenting it here after the Saul Schottenstein Foundation B — a nonprofit dedicated to “changing perceptions, fostering acceptance and promoting oneness” — first arranged for Cincinnati’s Mayerson JCC to present it in 2011. At one point, LADD even took over management of all the ReelAbilities festivals, except for the original one in New York City. (There are now 16 such fests in different cities.)But this year, from Sept. 26-30, LADD is back with a different festival that … [Read more...] about LADD’s New Over-the-Rhine International Film Festival Has Roots in its Previous ReelAbilities Film Festival

Problem Solved: Help! Mice ate my rugs in a CubeSmart storage facility
By Christopher Elliott, King Features Syndicate, Inc. | September 2, 2018 at 7:30 am Q: I recently stored some household items in a climate-controlled CubeSmart storage facility. Based on the recommendation of local staff, I purchased an insurance policy to protect my possessions. When I retrieved my items, I discovered that six handmade Egyptian kilim rugs were destroyed, and a leather sofa and chair were severely damaged. The loss totaled over $20,000. I immediately reported the damage to the site manager, who was sympathetic and apologetic, and took photos. I also took pictures. I quickly filed a claim with the insurance company. The insurance company denied the claim because my policy doesn’t cover damage by vermin, insects or rodents.

The delayed disclosure, which may have lasted through the Aug. 7 primary, had prompted “dark money” criticism from Democratic rival Abdul El-Sayed of Shelby Township. "Build a Better Michigan is proud of our record of 100 percent compliance with all IRS regulations and requirements,” President Mark Burton said in a statement, “but as the Trump Administration’s IRS continues to lag in its duty to make this filing public, we are going above and beyond our responsibilities by releasing this ourselves today.” An initial … [Read more...] about Group reveals donors behind Whitmer ad campaign
