IN THE NEWS BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Simply Hair
When you think of Manahawkin, you think of a great place to raise a family, a close knit community, the many changes that have happened over the years, and the businesses that have come and gone. In 1975, a woman named Meredith Ash started Simply Hair. Teri Holl, who worked at Simply Hair from the very beginning, became the manager in 1977, and in 1979 she and her husband Al Holl purchased Simply Hair. At the age of 18, I started working for Simply Hair & Nails as an assistant. To continue reading about Simply Hair, go to page 12.

Relay for Life Manahawkin Always a Success
By Amanda Barrett Community Manager Relay for Life ACS
What started as one man walking around a track in Tacoma, Washington 30 years ago has grown into the world’s largest movement to fight back against cancer. The Relay for Life program is a community event where teams and individuals set up campsites at the school and take turns walking around the track. Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times. Today, more than four million people participate in American Cancer Society Relay for Life events in 6,000 communities worldwide and the Relay for Life of Manahawkin is one of them. 34 teams from workplaces, places of worship, schools, and more participated in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life of Manahawkin’s event on May 29-30 at Southern Regional High School. More than 300 registered participants raised over $72,000 to support groundbreaking cancer research, education and prevention programs, and critical services for people facing cancer. This year, over 80 survivors
player’s Our Gang Player’s will be presenting this at the Barnegat High School Bengal Theater June 26th28th. It was a Tony Award winning for Best Musical and even got the Pulitzer Prize. The exhilarating score is written by Frank Loesser. This show is a tune filled comic gem that took broadway by storm. To continue reading about Our Gang Player’s, go to page 5.

and caregivers took the celebratory first lap to start off the event. To celebrate Relay for Life being 30 years strong in 2015, the Manahawkin event took it back to the 1980’s. Teams were encouraged to dress in 80’s apparel, decorate their campsites to match the theme and participated in retro style activities such as oversized Jenga, Simon Says and a Cheeseball Toss contest. “It was very inspirational to see people from all parts of our community having fun while fighting back against cancer,” said Jennifer Oddo, Event Lead. “Together, we celebrated those surviving cancer, remembered loved ones lost too soon, and took action to finish the fight once and for all.” Team Causeway Family of Dealerships raised over $2300.00 for this year’s Relay!

History of father’s day
On July 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed the nation’s first “Father’s Day.” However, it was not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official, that the day became a nationwide holiday in the United States. MOTHER’S DAY: INSPIRATION FOR FATHER’S DAY The “Mother’s Day” we celebrate today has its origins in the peace-and-reconciliation campaigns of the post-Civil War era. During the 1860s, at the urging of activist Ann Reeves Jarvis, one divided West Virginia town celebrated “Mother’s Work Days” that brought together the mothers of Confederate and Union soldiers. In 1870, the activist Julia Ward Howe issued a “Mother’s Day Proclamation” calling on a “general congress of women” to “promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, [and] the great and general interests of peace.” However, Mother’s Day did not become a commercial holiday until 1908, when–inspired by Jarvis’s daughter Anna, who wanted to honor her own mother by making Mother’s Day a national holiday–the

John Wanamaker department store in Philadelphia sponsored a service dedicated to mothers in its auditorium. Thanks in large part to this association with retailers, who saw great potential for profit in the holiday, Mother’s Day caught on right away. In 1909, 45 states observed the day, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson approved a resolution that made the second Sunday in May a holiday in honor of “that tender, gentle army, the mothers of America.” ORIGINS OF FATHER’S DAY The campaign to celebrate the nation’s fathers did not meet with the same enthusiasm–perhaps because, as one florist explained, “fathers haven’t the same sentimental appeal that mothers have.” On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time commemoration and not an annual holiday. The next year, a Spokane, Washington woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She went to
