BELMAR – Controversial changes that opponentssay would weaken the town’s pay-to-play law have beenput on hold after a judge ruled that the Borough Councilhad no right to reject a petition that protested the law.
Superior Court Judge Katie A. Gummer orderedBorough Clerk April Claudio to reinstate tighter cam-paign donation restrictions under the town’s formerpay-to-play law until either the legality of the old ordi-nance is determined in court or the borough holds a spe-cial election on the new ordinance, said Ken Pringle,former borough mayor and attorney for the petitioners.
Pringle filed suit against the council last week forrejecting a petition that compelled them to repeal thenew law or make its passage contingent upon a special

EATONTOWN - You might have seen the bumperstickers. Maybe you were approached about it by twowomen in the middle of the intersection at Sunset Av-enue and Route 35 in Ocean Township.
The plastic placards and awkwardly situated in-troduction are a one-two punch used to get the wordout about a new business in town that allows you to getprimal while drinking a cold one.
“We were at a light going on Route 35 and the guynext to us was yelling at someone, so I jumped out —he had a beard, he looked like our type of client — Isaid, ‘I have something for you,’ gave him a sticker,and said, ‘have you ever thrown a hatchet?’ ” said Kel-ly Josberger, co-owner of Stumpy’s Hatchet House.
The idea for the first indoor hatchet throwing ven-ue in the United States, which opened earlier thismonth, was homegrown by two couples, Kelly andStuart Josberger of Toms River, and Trish and MarkOliphant of Lakehurst.
“One of the things that we all liked about it was, itwas something a little primitive, a little organic, kindof primal to pick up an ax to throw it at a target,” Stu-art Josberger said.
Jackeline Mejias-Fuertes, director of the SmallBusiness Development Center at Brookdale, saidpeople today want to let loose in new ways.

She was beaten and strangled, her body left in a ditchalong a highway in rural Ohio. A hitchhiker, some spec-ulated, but she had no identification.
Years passed. Then decades. No relative or friendever came forward. The authorities had precious fewleads to work with, even as to who this young woman inpigtails might be.
But now, 35 years after her death, the cold case of the“Buckskin Girl,” as she became known, because of theleather jacket she wore, suddenly has heated up.
On Friday, investigators in Ohio released new de-tailed reconstructive images of an apparently Cauca-sian female, in her late teens to early 20s, with long, red-dish-brown hair, parted in the middle. What’s more,they believe she may have ties to the Northeast, andpossibly New Jersey.
The latter belief stems from a recent analysis of the
pollen on her clothing, which provides tantalizing cluesabout where she’d been prior to her death. If that con-
