52( HS grad wins KU photo contest
By Carol Lacer The News-Times
A couple of years ago,
2007 Chapman High School graduate Aaron
Anders set a goal to someday
win the KU Landon
Center on Aging photo
contest.
That goal -and morewas
reached this January,
when his photo of a 101-
year-old librarian from
Baldwin not only won the
contest overall, but also
received Staff Pick from
the Landon Center on
Aging at the KU Medical
Center.
This is the seventh year
that the Landon Center on Aging has sponsored the
photo contest, and there
were 120 entries in the
contest this year. The contest
is open to professionals
and amateur photographers
of all ages to bring
attention to the many faces of older adults. Winning
photos are often used
on calendars and the doctors
will sometimes use
them in some of their pub-
publications.
lications.
Aaron s interest in photography
began eight years
ago in 4-H, when he was
just 10 years old. Three
years later for hi birthday.
he received his first digital
camera, a 2.3 mega pixels
Toshiba. That same year
he attended a 4-H Photography
Adventure Camp.
I remember being the
only one with a digital
camera, now days everyone
has one, Aaron
said. At that camp I
learned many special
tricks and some of the
basics of photography. By
my sophomore year in
high school I was more
than ready to take journalism
and business class.
It was in those Chapman
High School classes
he learned to use Adobe Photoshop, a program he
calls the best digital photography
editing
program. He also learned
other techniques through
Judy Smith s Integrated
Computer Concepts. I learned more about
photography by being
photography editor for the
journalism department
and by running the Fighting
Irish Photography Business,
Aaron said. He
added that running the
business also taught him
how to run a successful
business through being
organized, responsible,
and dedicated.
It was during his sopho
sophomore year that his journalism
teacher, Matt Weller,
gave him a pamphlet about the Landon Center
on Aging photo contest.
At first I thought it
would be ridiculously hard
being my age and getting
connected to someone
over 50 years old, but the
more I looked at the pamphlet
the more interested I
became. Eventually I
made a goal to someday
win the contest, Aaron
said.
The first year he
entered the contest, Aaron
felt he had the found the
perfect subject.
It was Paul Janke, a
farmer with the coolest
pencil collection. I took a
good picture, submitted it
and received honorable
mention, Aaron Two
years i he received
another contest pamphlet
in the mail.
I told every one in my
family about the contest,
and asked them if they
knew anyone that would
be a good subject, Aaron
said. My aunt told me
about a lady that goes to
her church, a 101-year-old

Ne A, Sod-House Days Tour dedicated
VVarm temperatures and
partly cloudy skies greeted
a crowd of over thirty
people who attended the
dedication of Osborne
County s newest agritourism
attraction on
Saturday, June 2, 2007.
Created by Osborne
County Tourism, Inc., the
Rediscovering Sod-House
Days Self-Guided Tour
highlights 22 locations
made famous in Howard
Ruede s book, SodHouse
Days: Letter from a
Kansas Homesteader
1877-1878, along with
other notable sites of the
Kill Creek community in
westcentral Osborne
County.
The tour was established
to celebrate the
twin anniversaries of the
arrival of Pennsylvanian
Howard Ruede at Kill
Creek in 1877 and of the
initial publication of Sod-
House Days in 1937.
For a year and a half
(1877-1878) Ruede wrote
numerous letters back to
his family in
Pennsylvania, describing
the region and what it took
for him and others to survive
on the Kansas prairie.
Ruede died in 1925, and
twelve years later
University of Kansas profess
ohn Ise edited the
letters together into a
book published posthu
posthufliowdy In Ruede s name.
Seventy years later SodHouse
Days is still in pub-
publication
lication worldwide and is
considered a classic story
on the trials of homesteading
in the Great
Plains of North America.
Led by tour guide Von
Rothenherger. each of the
interpretive markers erected
along the 15-mile tour
loop were completed in
turn by one of those in the
crowd stepping forth and
finishing the final screw
on each marker. Each
marker was funded by
Osborne area businesses
and foundations, and by
descendants of families
mentioned in the book.
Such sites as Pennsylvania
Avenue, Howard Ruede s
homestead, and Jacob
Gsell s hotel can now be
easily located by the public
on this self-guided
tour.
The tour s start is at the
site of the former Kill
Creek General Store and
Post Office, located nine
miles southeast of Alton,
or 11 miles southwest of
Bloomington, or 17 miles
southwest of Osborne.
Agritourism in general
is the practice of attracting
travelers or visitors to
an area or areas used primarily
for agricultural
purposes. It is usually
small-scale, low-impact,
and, in most cases, education-focused.
The nonprofit
Osborne County
Tourism organization
seeks to develop more
agritourism projects in
Osborne County in order
to take advantage of the
economic potential presented
by such groups as
the three generations of
Sod-House Days fans
worldwide.

June 2nd dedication were:
Barbara and John Scott,
Albuquerque, NM; Alvin
Hackerott, and Jamis and

__i Heft Among KU Students
Doing Kansas Research
Lawrence History is not
always pretty. That s what a
group of University of Kansas
students learned after a
semester of researching the exodus ofAfrican-Americans to
Kansas in 1879.
Maryanne L. Hett of
Deerfield, a senior majoring in
social studies, is among the
group of students.
The class was titled,
History of the Peoples of
Kansas. For the research
project, the 54 students in the
class each picked a Kansas
newspaper from that time
period and wrote papers on
what the newspapers reported
about the exodus.
At the time of the exodus,
Kansas was known for being
progressive and tolerant, but
the students found articles
that seemed to suggest
otherwise.
Everyone hears the story of
Bleeding Kansas, but they
don t hear how Kansans did
not want free men settling in
their state. The Miami Republican stated there was
an isothermal line, and Kansas was too cold for
African-Americans.
The instructor assigned the
labor-intensive project because
there is little in current history
books about the exodus, in
which 10,000 to 20,000
African-Americans left the south after the Civil War to
settle in Kansas. And what is
available doesn t necessarily
tell the whole truth.
Textbooks tells a simple
story, a happy story. This was not always a happy story. In
Atchison, they were lining up
with rifles.
The students spent hours
reading the old newspapers on
microfilm. The instructor said
the Kansas State Historical
Society and the Interlibrary
Loan program were instrumental
in the research project.
Another notable thing the
students discovered, was that
the newspapers used the
exodus to expound their
beliefs. Opinions were hurled
back and forth between rivals
like a political football.
The 54 research papers will
be printed and bound together
for distribution at local
libraries and the state historical
society. The instructor
said that he hopes someone
will use the research to write
a detailed, honest book about
that time in Kansas history.
