Hankins Island Continues To By Judy Smestad-Nunn HANKINS ISLAND An abandoned house that sits alone on an island in Barnegat Bay continues to deteriorate. The windows are missing, the bulkhead has fallen into disrepair, and a one-time inground pool has popped out and sits on the eastern side of the house. It appears that birds have taken over the once-luxurious home whose grounds at one time had a helicopter pad. The house on Hankins Island, or Middle Sedge Island, is near Chadwick Beach Island and can be seen from parts of the barrier island and from waterfront areas of Brick, but it is only accessible by boat. The island is named after Charles Hankins, a boat builder from Lavallette who built all the lifeguard boats along the Jersey Shore. Two of his boats are on permanent display at the (Hankins - See Page 6)

Toms River Thrown A Curveball Before World Series
By Chris Christopher TOMS RIVER - The Toms River East Little League All-Stars wound up on the wrong side of a gem in the Little League Baseball Metro Region Tournament in Bristol, Ct. East was no-hit in the championship game by right-hander Joey Lionetti, who pitched the New York-Massapequa Coast Little League to a 4-0 victory at the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Leadership Training Center on Friday night, August 12, broadcast on ESPN. Massapequa advanced to the Little League
Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pa., for the first time in the organization’s 72-year history. East hoped to qualify for the World Series for the second straight season and the seventh time overall. It was 1-2 in last year’s LLBWS. Led by Todd Frazier, who served as an ESPN analyst in Bristol during the recent event, East won the LLBWS in 1998 when it was known as the Toms River East American Little League. The former Toms River High School South, Rutgers University, retired
major-league All-Star and Olympic silver medalist has donated a scoreboard to East. Lionetti, whose team won the New York state title, blazed his way to nine strikeouts in six innings. He walked one, leadoff hitter Mike Mendes, whose father, Michael, was East’s manager. Lionetti hit three batters and threw two wild pitches. Of his 72 pitches, 49 were strikes. He tossed first-pitch strikes to 15 of 22 batters. He posted four ground ball outs. Three outs were on fly outs. (Curveball - See Page 5)
