A highlight of my career was working with the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Floyd (Fred) Loop, the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) at the time, hired my company. (Dr. Loop is no longer with us physically; however, his impact lives on.) He referred to the work as “providing world-class care.”
Dr. Loop was a private person. For the

Dear Heloise: Calling 811 before you dig a hole for a bush is a waste of the investigator’s time and a needless expense. Now if you’re planting a tree with a substantial-sized root ball (with perhaps a contractor who uses a large hydraulic spade), make the call by all means.

CHARLESTON — Look just about anywhere and you’ll find State Treasurer Larry Pack. From ribbon-cuttings to visits with local government officials, from interviews and op-eds to unclaimed property check presentations, Pack is raising the office’s profile.
But Pack’s activities have also raised questions about his plans for his political future, which could involve a run for governor in 2028, challenging Gov. Patrick Morrisey in a Republican primary.
