As an alternative to auto insurance, the law allows drivers to maintain a surety bond pledging money or property to cover injury or damage claims that might arise from a traffic accident.

Surety bonds pledging money must be for at least $30,000. Those secured by real estate must be for at least $60,000 in equity. Drivers who fail to prove coverage could lose their licenses for 90 days to one year and would face license reinstatement fees of $75 after a first offense, $250 after a second and $500 after additional offenses. Beginning April 20, companies must notify the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles if a driver whose license was suspended for failing to meet the financial responsibility laws cancels insurance or allows insurance to lapse within five years of the suspension. On receiving the notice, the bureau will reinstate the suspension until the driver resumes insurance coverage or posts a surety bond.

"There was serious concern that many financially responsible Ohioans would be inconvenienced or even unaware that they needed to show proof of financial responsibility."

case By Roger Snell Beacon Journal slaff writer Medina: Ohio and Medina County investigators will begin the background checks in a routine they've come to know well, after Thursday's arrest of a North Carolina truck driver in a murder case. Authorities say Sean Patrick Goble, 28, of Asheboro, N.C., confessed to killing a woman in an eastern Tennessee service station and dumping her body along Interstate 81 in Virginia's Washington County.

John Bibar, is regional director of the Ohio task force. Medina County is involved because the body of Shirley Dean Taylor, 23, was dumped along Interstate 71 near the Interstate 76 interchange on July 20, 1986. Taylor had been beaten to death, but there were also signs of attempted strangulation. Two other victims were natives of Akron. Taylor was a prostitute last seen at a truck stop in Austintown.

She was solicited over the citizens band radio by a trucker calling himself Dr. No. Burlingame said the task force waits on the arresting jurisdiction to conclude its own investigation, then gets all evidence establishing where the trucker was on certain dates.

There are three sets of twins Megan and Jennifer DiQuat twins are in a classroom together, said Principal Linda Ocepek. This is because some educators recognize a need to help twins develop individual personalities. If their teachers did not do that, the twins would.

"When we were little, my parents say they always got us mixed up," Megan said. Although she and Jennifer look alike, they are fraternal twins, not identical.
