Bea “Aunt Bea” Worton considers nail polish color shown to her by cosmetology student Nancy Renteria. Worton has been coming for salon services at Seward’s cosmetology school for the past 10 years. In the past 10 years, Worton, the staff and students have built a fond relationship that recently led the cosmetology school to raise money for a special cause. See Page 3 for related photo.

Loyal customer approaches a decade of appointments at SC cosmetology salon S andy Al faro Crusader staff Bea Worton arrives at the college cosmetology school Thursday afternoon for her appointment, just as she has done every Thursday for the last 10 years. The 84-year-old “Aunt Bea” — as she is know among cosmetology students and staff — has been having her hair and nails done at the cosmetology salon since it opened in 2001. “She’s a great customer,” Sheila Scheib, cosmetology instructor/coordinator, said. Worton began coming to Seward’s cosmetology school after the Academy of Hair Design in Liberal was closed many years ago. Worton lives in Forgan, Okla. She has lived there for the past 33 years. On Thursdays she drives to Liberal to receive salon services at Seward’s cosmetology school. Worton said that Scheib would go out of her way to help her with anything she needed. “There are no girls friendlier than the ones here,” Worton said. For the past years, Worton has had one student attend her until that student graduates. Then, Worton’s assigned student hand selects the next student who will help Worton until her term is completed. This Thursday, Worton was introduced to the new student who would be helping her for

Renteria was neither intimidated nor afraid to be the chosen one to help Worton. “I was excited, I had already been explained on what to do,” Renteria said. As Renteria attented Worton, she said she built a new friendship. “I just think she’s amazing because of everything she does.” Worton is just a favorite. “She makes everyone feel comfortable,” Schieb said. The relationship that has grown over the years between the cosmetology students and one of their most loyal customers recently brought about an opportunity for the students to

help Worton with one of her pet projects. Worton is part of the ConKerr Cancer organization that makes homemade pillowcases to brighten the lives of sick children in hospitals. Worton spoke about her project to the students at the cosmetology school. They noticed how lately Worton had been speaking of how much more expensive the material for the pillowcases was. They decided that they wanted to start a fundraiser to help Worton. Their fundraiser consisted of selling a brand name hand lotion, and they raised $300 for Worton’s cause. Worton was very happy and highly grateful toward the students. She bought plenty of material to make many more pillowcases for ConKerr. “She couldn’t be any more thankful,” Scheib said. Worton has been quilting and sewing ever since she was a child. She grew up making her own dresses, and continued to sew for her children as they grew up. Worton continues sewing, quilting, and she participates in many craft shows around the area. As busy as Worton gets with all of her work and projects, she is still setting up and attending her appointments at SCCC cosmetology every Thursday. “It’s nice to be treated so special,” Worton said.

Mediterranean themed party auction encourages bidders

Morgan Wi l l s Crusader staff

A Mediterranean theme will provide a unique setting for bidders attending the 17th Annual Party auction on, coincidently, Sept. 17. The Annual Party Auction is located at the Seward County event center. Goers should expect to see volunteers and students disguised as belly dancers, Greek goddesses, and even Cleopatra. Not only will the evening be visually stimulating, but hors d’oeuvre will offer a taste of the Mediterranean as well, which will be followed by dinner catered by Great Western Dining. The meal features a buffet of pork loin, donated by Seaboard Foods, and brisket, donated by National Beef. Treats from the chocolate fountain as well as selections from the dessert bar will contrast the spice of the Mediterranean, all for the cause of providing

much needed revenue to fund scholarships for students attending Seward County Community College/Area Technical School. Festivities begin at 6 p.m. with dinner from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The traditional silent auction will coincide with dinner to be followed by the live Auction at 8 p.m. Several vacation packages donated by local citizens promise particular appeal. For instance, an offering called ‘Tailgatin’ with the Cats’ provides the winning bidder with four tickets to the Sept. 1 KSU v. Baylor game in Manhattan. Another prize package features a romantic weekend getaway for two in Lawrence sponsored by Al Shank Insurance and The Community Bank. According to event organizer and Director of Development Tammy Doll, the auction is guaranteed to spark interest and includes such items as jewelry, furniture, varied services, homemade food, massages, clothing,

Mediterranean Nights

and even KU basketball and football tickets. Tickets are $20 and must be purchased in advance. Tickets are available at Seward County Community College/ Area Technical School, or any SCCC/ATS Foundation board member or auction committee member. Tickets can also be obtained online at alumni.sccc.edu, or by credit card from the SCCC/ATS development Office at 620-4171131. As a convenience to parents, childcare has been added to this year’s event and will be provided by the Saints cheer and dance

squad for all children 3 and older at a cost of $20 per child. Children will be entertained with activities that include cheer and dance lessons as well as movies, art projects, and games. The children will be provided a small dinner and a snack. Reservations are required and those interested may call 620626-5878 to secure a spot. This will be vocal instructor and humanities director Magda Silva’s third year to organize the entertainment portion of the evening. “I just love the fact that the auction really gets the community involved,” Silva said. “We

have such a symbiotic relationship with the community and hopefully it is the snow ball effect where it continues to get bigger and bigger.” Entertainment will consist of 16 performances, 10 included in a jazz group. Other acts include pianist Alisa Henderson, and Gregory Leuns; flutist Lydia Augustine; guitar by Mick Mages; and vocalist Yahaida Zubia. Volunteer and SCCC student Selene Perez encourages people to go to the auction to give back to the school. “By making bids and donations, you are building a strong foundation for the community’s future. I am excited to attend and help out,” Perez said. In the past, the event has drawn from 300 to as many as 400 people, but this year Doll is aiming for a record of 500 or more. In 2010 event brought in approximately $39,000. However, enrollment at the college has increased and so has the need for

more scholarships. “To raise more money for scholarships,” Doll said, “we need more people to attend the auction and bid.” Doll urges all civic minded citizens to spread the word and to generate excitement for this year’s festivities and for the students. Listeners can sense the passion in Doll’s voice as she discusses this event and the effort that makes it happen. She urges participation from everyone in the community. “It is primarily to raise money for student scholarships, but it is also a way for people in the community to come out and purchase items from a variety of businesses who want to promote themselves through our auction,” Doll said. “So it’s not just for the college and for the students, it’s also for the donors who are promoting their business.”
