RANJ PUTHRAN “HELPING HANDS AWARD” RECIPIENT SHAELY KING Shaely King is a Zionsville volunteer with the American Cancer Society’s ‘Road to Recovery’ program. As a cancer survivor, he recognizes what each patient is going through and understands the burden that people with cancer have to deal with. He was fortunate enough to have a caregiver that was able to help guide him through his treatment. The ‘Road to Recovery’ program provides transportation for cancer patients who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. In 2014, in Hamilton County alone, there were 363 ride requests from cancer patients. Unfortunately, the ‘Road to Recovery’ program was only able to service 311 of those requests, leaving 52 unfulfilled. Shaely signed up for the program in April 2014, and since then, he has provided over 50 rides for people needing to get to and from their cancer treatments.
RANJ PUTHRAN AGENCY
“For every patient that I drive, each one of them expresses their gratitude,” Shaely says. “For many people, this is their only way to get to their treatment. I have met so many wonderful people during my rides.” Shaely has graciously volunteered his time and resources to ease the burden for people in treatment. Shaely has been a wonderful addition to the program! The American Cancer Society is always looking for volunteers. If you would commit to driving a patient just one day a month, it could help in so many ways! Please contact the American Cancer Society in Indianapolis at cancer.org or call 317-344-7800. Congratulations to Shaely as our Helping Hands Award winner.

MICKEY MAURER
LEADING BY EXAMPLE Writer / Kara Reibel . Photographer / Brian Brosmer
“Take the leap, and the net will appear,” said Sylvia McNair, one of 19 women featured in a book by Michael S. Maurer, “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Women,” IU Press. This statement by McNair adequately sums up Mickey Maurer’s approach to life. Maurer has been many things, and the term “entrepreneur” doesn’t seem to do him justice.
on my tennis shoe. I decided to continue my education and strive for something that smelled a little better,” shares Maurer. After graduating from North Central High School, Maurer attended the University of Colorado for his undergrad, then earned a degree from the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington.
After practicing law for 20 years, Maurer realized he was more of an He is not someone that knows a little about a lot of things; he knows a entrepreneur. “I became an attorney because my father couldn’t due lot about a lot of things. Maurer doesn’t take an interest in something to the constraints of the Great Depression. I wasn’t very good at being a lawyer,” says Maurer. lightly; he digs in, immersing himself until expert level is achieved. Then once saturated, he moves on to the next item on his list. Turning to other interests, Maurer indicates he’s dabbled in cable television, film production, radio broadcasting, newspaper “I am not sure he keeps a ‘to do’ list, aside from writing down his publishing, real estate and banking. To be clear, Maurer is Chairman schedule each night before leaving the office,” shares Maurer’s daughter, Jill Burnett. “He is the only person I know who still actively of the Board of the IBJ Corporation, which publishes The uses a Rolodex, even though I have told him his phone could do that.” Indianapolis Business Journal, Court and Commercial Record and The Indiana Lawyer. He also serves as the Chairman of the Board of The National Bank of Indianapolis, so saying he “dabbles” is “My first job was leading ponies for small children at an amusement drastically understating the truth. center. I was in elementary school. The pony in front of me dumped
“Mickey has been a tremendous resource in the community,” says Emmis Communications Chairman and CEO Jeff Smulyan. “He has made a real impact through his tremendous civic stewardship.” As one of original board members of Emmis Communications, Maurer’s friendship with Smulyan dates back over 30 years. Smulyan continues, “Mickey’s had a positive impact on improving the quality of life here in central Indiana.”
The impact of Maurer’s civic and philanthropic endeavors is impossible to quantify. Maurer’s contributions run wide and deep within our community, including his name gracing the Indiana University Law School in Bloomington. This incredibly generous donation on behalf of Maurer and his wife Janie illustrates their commitment to the school. The Maurer School of Law is a national leader in the study of the global legal profession.

As part of his civic duties, Maurer served as the President of the Indiana Economic Development Corp., and the following year, he was named Indiana Secretary of Commerce by Governor Mitch Daniels. “I was paid $1 per year for that job,” shares Maurer emphasizing, “ONE dollar!” Maurer replaced Vera Bradley co-founder Pat Miller as the Indiana Secretary of Commerce. During the transition, Maurer referred to Miller as a “classy dame,” which was spun as an offensive comment by The Indianapolis Star. To the contrary, Maurer was offering Miller, who was not offended in the least, a sincere, heartfelt compliment. This incident inspired Maurer to pen the book, “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Women,” highlighting true role models for our society, both locally and globally. “I marvel at Mickey’s perseverance and passion by which he pursues the things that are important to him,” praises Christel House Founder and CEO Christel DeHaan. “He is making a difference. What a great testimony to living a purposeful life.”

The success of the book influenced Maurer to create one honoring Hoosier men. In the book, he features, among others, Senator Richard Lugar, Eugene B. Glick and Gebisa Ejeta, a Purdue University geneticist and World Food Prize Foundation 2009 Prize Laureate, whom Maurer sincerely credits with the sole responsibility of saving more lives than anyone else on the planet.

“Dr. Ejeta researched drought-tolerant and striga-resistant sorghum seeds which reported yields four times larger than traditional sorghum crops. He’s helped save the lives of millions of Africans through his food research which cannot be understated,” says Maurer. Dr. Ejeta still teaches at the Purdue University Glenn W. Sample School of Agriculture in West Lafayette.
“My dad has always believed in following and pursuing your interests and passions,” shares Burnett. “He’s always encouraged my brothers and me to do so, as he certainly has followed his.” One hobby turned into a gorgeous coffee table book, “Water Colors,” a stunning collection of underwater photography of creatures barely noticed by the naked eye. Aside from one photo of his beautiful wife hidden in a school of fish, all other photographs are of objects no bigger than a fingernail. The quality of the photographs look to be from one of National Geographic’s veteran underwater photographers.

Mickey’s Camp splits the week between the women and the men, enabling a fun networking experience for their campers, and it’s partially tax-deductible. “It was always a dream of mine to have a camp where you can learn new skills from the best, so billiards is taught by world ranking professionals Jeanette Lee and her husband George Breedlove,” says Maurer, mentioning only a couple of

“One snowy weekend, I thought I would arrange my underwater photographs into a book,” recalls Maurer. “One year later, the book went to print.” In his most recent book, “10 Essential Principles of Entrepreneurship,” Maurer features life lessons you never learned in school. He dedicates the book to his father, Julius Maurer, and his Uncle Mickey. “My dad and uncle owned Maurer Brothers Auto Parts at Ninth and Senate Avenue,” shares Maurer. “Out on the fence was a sign that read, ‘If you can’t stop in, smile as you go by.’” The lessons shared in the book are illustrated with examples of Maurer’s friends, including Martha Hoover, who exemplifies redefining “barriers to entry.” Hoover is not mentioned once but four times throughout the book.

Harold Smith has attended Mickey’s Camp for 14 years the 40+ activities on the list of options. “A camper can learn how to play Texas Hold’em from World Series of Poker champion Linda Johnson.” Since its inception 15 years ago, Mickey’s Camp has raised and donated over $2 million to local charities. Descending on Bradford Woods are 125 women and 125 men to immerse themselves in activities taught by the best in their fields. Burnett joined event manager extraordinaire Kari Strolberg in coordinating all camp activities, meals and logistics. Not only does Burnett get to work with Mickey’s Camp, but this enables her to work closely with her dad, gleaning knowledge from him. “You can’t get a better teacher than my dad,” says Burnett. “He is patient and encouraging, and while he may steer me a bit, he is always there for me. I love being

FIGHTING A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN NEPAL Writer / Janelle Morrison
Two buildings are now touching each other at the top after the earthquake. atZionsville.com / JULY 2015 / ZIONSVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / 13
Editor’s Note: Although the principal character in this story is a Carmel resident, we felt compelled to run this in our Zionsville Community Newsletter in an effort to broaden awareness and help raise funds for the humanitarian crisis going on in Nepal. On the afternoon of May 12, 2015, Roger Conn and a team with New Life International (NLI) stood overlooking the once tranquil view of Kathmandu Valley. Conn and the rest of team had arrived the day before as part of the relief efforts that were underway as a result of the devastating April 25 earthquake that paralyzed Nepal. At 12:51 p.m. NST, Conn and the team were inside of an old church training local villagers on how to operate a water purifier that they had just assembled when the ground began to shake violently beneath them. Conn and company evacuated the building and stood on the mountainous road looking down upon Kathmandu. The once thriving city that had already suffered catastrophic damage was crumbling before his eyes to the ground once more. Minutes later, plumes of debris filled the valley below them. “The ground shook beneath us, and it felt as though it would throw us over the cliff,” Conn recalled. The aftershock measured a moment magnitude (the measurement used to record the size and energy of earthquakes) of 7.3. The epicenter was between the capital of Kathmandu and Mt. Everest.
Roger Conn and his teammates survived the 7.3 aftershock, and he shared his incredible tale of survival and perseverance upon his return home. Conn, a former Carmel Police Chief, and his family are longtime Carmel residents and active members of Northview Church. Conn is also a member of the Rotary Club of Carmel. “The morning of the first earthquake in Nepal, I made a call to the people at NLI,” Conn said. “They were trying to find a way to get into Nepal as quickly as possible and bring in the water purification systems that they invented, in Underwood, Indiana.” New Life International, Inc. is a 501©(3) Christian outreach organization dedicated to humanitarian and developmental activities. One of the largest outreach programs of NLI is to provide safe water to the world. To meet the world water crisis, a simple water purifier was invented, developed and patented at NLI.
Inventor Duvon McGuire experienced a close brush with death when he contracted Giardia from contaminated water while on a mission trip in Ecuador with his family In addition to the scores of people killed at a young age. This experience led Duvon and injured from the first earthquake, an McGuire to study parasitology and graduate additional 200 people were killed and 2,500 with a degree from Asbury College in prewere injured in the countries affected by this med and chemistry. major aftershock. Before his senior year, he spent the summer The 7.8 magnitude earthquake and the working in hospitals in India. There he subsequent aftershocks are the worst natural witnessed the devastating effects of poor disasters to strike Nepal in almost a century. sanitation and pathogen-infested water.
After years of research and experimentation, he invented an affordable, lightweight, portable water purifier that could disinfect large quantities of water efficiently and quickly for entire communities. He received a patent for this invention. The New Life purifiers have been taken or sent to over 75 countries where natural and manmade disasters have plagued the areas. Through acts of fate, Conn was introduced to McGuire and the people at NLI and worked with them in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010. Upon learning about the extent of damage in Nepal, he knew that he and his friends from NLI had to go to Nepal. The first team arrived within four days of the first earthquake to assess the needs. “I was in the second team, and we brought with us an additional nine water purifier units,” Conn recalled. “The first team brought in six with them. We have to find water sources once we arrive and locate the best locations to install the units.” Through contacts with Christian organizations within Nepal, NLI was able to organize a “home base” at the Nepali Christian School that was located in the epicenter of the damage. There, Conn and his teammates, Steven Uhde, from Underwood, IN, Jess Sandlin from Lexington, KY, and Steven Lacroix, Underwood, IN, would establish their camp for 13 days. Their basecamp was located next to the Kathmandu International Airport for the purpose of an expedient

NEPAL EARTHQUAKE DISASTER RELIEF Local Hoosiers are taking part in the relief efforts for the country of Nepal. Carmel resident, Roger Conn and members of New Life International, headquartered in Indiana, are spearheading efforts to bringing water purification systems to the Nepal that was recently devastated by powerful earthquakes.

evacuation. Stationed near Conn and his team were the U.S. military relief teams. It was there that Conn and his team consoled members of the U.S. Marines who lost six of their own who died in a helicopter crash while supporting earthquake relief efforts in Nepal. Conn described the sights that they saw and the conversations that they had to those that would be spoken on a battle field and see throughout war-torn country. Countries including the U.S., Russia, Germany, India and Great Britain had already dispatched humanitarian relief and military forces to assist in rescue and recovery. “Germany sent two water purifiers that were able to clean 10,000 liters an hour,” Conn explained. “The water purifiers that we are installing purify a 500-gallon tank of water in an hour. Each one of these units can potentially serve a small village of 150-200 people and up to a couple thousand people a day. “Once we find a good source of sustainable water that we can purify, we bring the 500-gallon tank, an automobile battery and a solar powered recharging unit if there is no electricity and the unit itself. We then teach the local people how to assemble and operate it. We had an interpreter in Nepal and had the local people assemble the units as we explained the operations. The simplicity of this system is that it uses the water that is provided and rock salt. We pour about 2 tablespoons of salt into the water chamber, and once the pump starts circulating, it electrifies it in an electrolysis type system and then causes a chlorine gas reaction that pumps into the water tank and
kills all of the harmful bacteria. The price per unit is only $2,600. “When the Nepali people realized that we were bringing these units in to help, they were immediately anxious for us to get started. Everyone had a story of family members in need of food, shelter and clean water. We evaluated sites and looked for schools, churches and orphanages where people can gather and feel safe to go for help. We met a Nepalese doctor and her electrical engineer husband that assisted us in getting the water tested, following the treatment to show the local people that the water was safe for consumption. “I was extremely impressed with the resilience of the people, though the children and the elderly were obviously suffering from post-traumatic stress. However, the outstanding resolve of the people was that they were not going to wait for the government or the world to come in and help, but they were going to start working to rebuild and save the crops that had not been damaged before the monsoon season begins in late June.” “Of the 614,777 buildings in the Kathmandu Valley, more than 51,000 were destroyed and an additional 42,000 badly damaged,” Conn stated. “The second earthquake and subsequent aftershocks destroyed another 115 buildings in Kathmandu. Across the nation of Nepal, an estimated 500,000 buildings have been destroyed, and over 8,500 believed dead and 16,500 injured.” Conn’s photographs of the scene depict the immeasurable amount of damage to structures, homes, iconic temples and of
course the human suffering as a result of the devastation. He captured images of older children consoling the younger children along the streets and mountainsides. The graphic images of collapsed buildings that once stood 4-6 stories tall that are reduced to only 2-stories with the bodies of the victims still trapped inside, unable to be recovered until the Nepali people demolish the buildings. Throughout the duration of their stay, Conn and his teammates experienced as many as six to eight tremors a day that would vary in magnitude. Due to the inherent danger of the tremors and threat of additional major aftershocks, most of the people have created “tent-cities” throughout the Nepal. After the May 12 incident, Conn notified his family that he had survived and that their mission continued. Among themselves, Conn and his teammates agreed that God had put them there to help the Nepali people and that they would complete their mission. “The people of Nepal are hardworking and resilient, but they need our help now,” Conn implored. “Nepal has not seen an earthquake of this size and devastation for more than 85 years. With modern advances in technology, we can help keep cholera and typhoid at bay. “While we were in country, we carried first aid kits, rain gear and additional water, and we kept our cell phones charged. We often slept in tents if it was not safe to sleep indoors. We would sleep fully dressed, backpacks ready and prepared to make a hasty escape. Our passports were in our pockets at all times, so that if anything

Conn shared the intimate emotions that he felt when the plane landed and his feet stepped upon American soil. “When we landed, I just wanted to hug my wife and kids. But I will most likely return. There is still work to be done and more purifiers to be installed.”

happened, we would be identified. There were at least four nights that we jumped up and ran out to the streets in the middle of the night as a result of a strong aftershock.” There are currently 47 NLI water purifiers operating in country. Another one of their teams is heading over with at least 20 more. NLI has provided jobs to Nepali men where they are earning a living by installing these water purifiers and teaching other locals how to install and operate the units. There is an urgent need in Nepal for another 1,000 units. While continuing his efforts to assist Nepal, Conn will be heading back to Haiti in the near future to areas still devastated by their earthquake to implement the training and installation model that they developed in the two weeks spent in Nepal. Conn’s home church, Northview, is going to help that Haiti mission, so that Conn can get clean water into the areas with active cholera cases. Like Haiti, Nepal will take over a decade to rebuild. The recovery operations have not yet penetrated into the mountain regions due to the roads being destroyed and entire mountainsides that have come down burying the villages. The death toll is close to 9,000 and will likely grow, as they are able to reach the mountain villages.

WOMEN’S GOLF LEAGUE HAS BEEN A FIXTURE IN ZIONSVILLE FOR DECADES Writer / Rebecca Wood Photographer / JJ Kaplan

M
ost Wednesday mornings, the Zionsville Golf Course is buzzing with activity. That in itself is not unusual, but look closely and you’ll notice that lady golfers dominate the course. They call themselves the Penny Putters. For the last 43 years, this Zionsville women’s golf league has maintained a wildly successful group which partners golf with fun.
HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE
The origins of the league are unknown, as none of the 76 current members are original to the group. However, Penny Putters President Pat Green can explain the league’s name. “They had a putt pot,” Green recalls. “For every putt, you put a penny in the pot.”
Member Kathy Byrum says there’s a nickel pot too. “Besides a penny a putt, you put in a nickel for every curse word too,” she chuckles.
TEE TIME AND LADIES WHO LUNCH
Generally, the league has operated the same way since the beginning. From late April until late September, the group tees off every Wednesday morning at the Zionsville Golf Course. Once a month, the league hosts a scramble followed by a luncheon meeting. To accommodate the large group size, luncheons are held at the Lion’s Club. A local restaurant caters the meal. Green says the league’s affordable costs and the quality of the golf course attract many women to the group.
Green says the pot would then be carried to the league’s monthly luncheon where the women could enter to win the proceeds. Members pay $135 for dues and 11 rounds This tradition continues today with the pot’s of golf. The monthly scrambles and average monthly windfall at $40.
luncheons are an additional $20 per month. Golf carts are extra. “I’ve belonged to a private club for 25 years, and I think this golf course gets really close to equaling a course we pay a lot of money to attend,” adds Green. The Penny Putters also make a point to give back. One scramble per season is played for a designated charity. Each golfer contributes $20 to enter the scramble, and the proceeds go directly to the charity. Local merchants also sponsor a hole.
MEET THE GOLFERS
The average age of a league member is in their 60s, says Green. The golfers span in age from their 40s to their late 80s. Green adds with a chuckle, “But some won’t pen down their age.” The majority of the members live in Zionsville, but the league attracts women from neighboring communities like Brownsburg, Westfield and Whitestown.

Green states that golfers of all abilities are welcome. She says that group members shoot anywhere from the mid 40s to twice that number. Member Nancy Walworth appreciates how the group welcomes a variety of abilities. “If not, I’d have been out a long time ago,” she laughs. Many of the women are new to the sport. Several picked up golf clubs for the first time in the last several years. “It was something I had never done but thought I was capable of doing,” Green says. “It’s more fun than working in the yard.” Byrum adds, “It is a way to meet friends and be outside. I had never golfed, but I thought, ‘I am going to try this.’”

THRIVING GROUP
Due to the capacity limits of the golf course, Penny Putters caps their membership at 75 golfers. Green applauds the group’s success and notes that not all leagues are as vibrant as the Penny Putters. “The word got out about the group,” says Green. “Most golf courses have a group, but I don’t know any group which has as many members as we do. I have friends in groups at country clubs that are struggling to keep members in their league.” Although golf brings the ladies together, the group is tight-knit. Green reports that the average member remains in the group for 12-15 years. Byrum credits the friendships with keeping the women in the group.

regiment in the North African, Italian and southern French theatres.
All three echoed their gratefulness for the voyage to Washington, D.C.
If you combine the ages of these three World War II veterans, you arrive at a staggering number. They have piled up an inspiring 284 years of life.
And they are fortunate to be members of a dwindling club – former World War II servicemen who are still living. Of the 16 million American service personnel who served in the global conflict in Europe, northern Africa and the Pacific, less than 800,000 remain. The median age is 92, and over 500 die each day. Just 30 years ago, there were over 10 million survivors.
“It was something,” said Bertalon, a former real estate agent on the west side of Indianapolis. “It was fast and furious. We were all over the place.”
Or maybe we should hike the total years of life to 284.5 years. The eldest member of the distinguished trio, Warren Englehardt, 102, proudly insists that he has eclipsed the 102 and one-half age plateau. Either number impressively stands out for the threesome of Englehardt, Charles Hallagan, 92, and Frank Bertalon, 90, who are now battling another challenge in their lives: aging.
The stops included Arlington National Cemetery, where Bertalon, a Navy veteran in the Pacific War, remember poignantly that there were “acres and acres” of gravestones dedicated to fallen United Thus, there has been a strong rush by central States servicemen. Indiana supporters and sponsors of the Indy Honor Flight program that takes veterans For Englehardt, the trip was an exclamation and guardians to visit Washington, D.C., the mark to his military career.

He, too, was impressed with the tour of Washington, D.C. “I was very happy,” he said. “I didn’t think I would get to see those things.” Due to a political decision by the Americans and British, Englehardt and his division weren’t part of the final Nazi defeat in Berlin (the Russians were the authors of that last chapter of fighting). However, his group did get an upfront view of an iconic Nazi landmark. They arrived at Hitler’s vacation home, the Berghof in the Bavarian Alps, after British bombers blasted the building and area. Hitler used the setting to host his partner, Eva Braun, and meet with compatriots such as Albert Speer, Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels. World leaders such as Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain met with Hitler at the spacious and luxurious Berghof prior to the war. Englehardt saw a shattered site.
“The windows were blown out,” he recalled. “The Nazis tried to burn it down, but it was still there.” For Hallagan, who retired from L.S. Ayres after a long career, said returning to Germany as a tourist and father was a major part of his recovery from the war. He has visited Germany five times. “I love Germany,” said Hallagan, whose son was stationed in Germany during his military service. “The people are fabulous.” But on one trip to Germany, Hallagan had to pass on one side trip. He travels to Munich, Berlin, Stuttgart and the Rhineland were exceptional for the veteran. But he declined an opportunity to tour the Dachau concentration camp where over 30,000 prisoners perished under the ruthless Nazi rule.
“I just couldn’t go through it,” admitted Hallagan. Sadly, Hallagan sees some of the same challenges in today’s world. He worries that the Muslim radical group ISIS is taking the same footsteps that Germany and Japan did over 70 years ago. “If we don’t stop them, it will be terrible,” stated the veteran. “They have no sense for life.” For Englehardt, Hallagan and Bertalon, there is a great appreciation of life after living seven decades since facing death in war.

His first visit to the camp was in 1945, just two days after the Allies had liberated the site.

Scott Lintner
A FIGHT AGAINST CANCER RESULTS IN A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND THE 4TH OF JULY Writer / Janelle Morrison
O
n June 30, 1999, Zionsville resident Scott Lintner’s life took a wicked turn. As a medical professional, Lintner took a mandatory tuberculosis test that came back positive. After additional blood work was ordered, he received the news that he had leukemia at age 37. “None of my test results were particularly good,” Lintner recalled. “My doctors said that I didn’t have to start chemo right away because it wouldn’t cure me and that I could start chemo when I wanted it or needed it. I waited a year before I started chemo. “During all of this, I was told that looking at everything statistically, my life span was eight to 12 years from that point of time. I thought that I might live to see 49. After multiple rounds of chemo, eventually it quit working, and in 2006, I got really sick. “I had part of my lung removed and eventually had a bone marrow transplant with my brother as a donor. That really saved my life at the time, though it didn’t cure my disease.
I had chemo several more times after that.” Lintner literally knocks on wood, “I haven’t had any chemo since July of 2011 and have been in remission since.” As he got closer to 49, it became evident to him that he was likely to live to see his 50th birthday. “I thought that if I hit 50, I’m going to have a big party,” Lintner exclaimed. “The original idea was that I would have a party for my family and friends. I’d get a local band, find a farmer’s field, get some kegs of beer and just have fun. Then at my work, we started talking about booking a national band, inviting a bunch of people and trying to raise some money to give back.” Through his connections, Lintner linked up with Cebronica Scott, an entertainment and corporate event planner, with 317 Events and Cathy Katz with Jägermeister. After a litany of brainstorming sessions, Lintner’s team had decided on throwing a music festival on Georgia Street in downtown Indianapolis.

They got connected with the local alternative rock radio station, ALT103 (formerly X103), and they hosted five bands, entertained approximately 5,500 people and raised $50,000 at their first event held in 2013. The following year, they raised $60,000 and over 6,800 people attended. In 2013, Lintner established the Lintner Foundation. “Our mission is to provide assistance to people, either directly to or through other organizations, that are dealing with cancer to pay for medications, gas, lodging and things that insurance won’t pay for,” Lintner said. “Our first year, we gave away $50,000, and half went to St. Francis where I had my bone marrow transplant. “They have a bone marrow assistance fund which pays for additional costs that insurance won’t cover. They have some apartments that the foundation has funded. For our event this July 4, we are excited to have ALT103 back on board. “My ultimate goal going forward is to have four stages and draw

Advance tickets will be $20 for general admission and $25 the day of the show. Gates will open at noon, and the music will begin at 1:30 p.m., lasting until 9:30 p.m.
“If we could give out another $60,000 and continue to bring out more people for this event, I would be truly happy,” Lintner concluded. For more information on the upcoming fundraiser concert visit indypendenceday.com.
Lintner turned 53 this year. “When you get told that you have cancer, it is a very life-changing event,” he softly stated. “In all areas of my life, I’ve really stepped it up. Stuff that I was going to do, I’m doing now.” Lintner is an avid big-game hunter. He hunts big and exotic game in Africa, Russia, Australia and New Zealand. “In 2009, I ran with the bulls in Spain,” he shared. “It was something that I always wanted to do. There have been various things that I have done since my diagnosis that I have always wanted to do because I don’t know what is going to happen.
Proven expertise for uncertain markets.
“I look at this event as my legacy. My daughters Hannah and Madeline, both graduates of Zionsville High School, will hopefully carry this on when I am gone. My advice to people that I know and meet is don’t wait until you have something like cancer to do the things that you want to do.” Tickets are available now for the third annual “IndyPendence Day Concert for Cancer” presented by the Lintner Foundation and their sponsors. The concert festival fundraiser will feature Puddle of Mudd along with Sick Puppies, Hoobastank, Lit, Trapt and Alien Ant Farm. The charities benefiting from the concert are the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the St. Francis Hospital Patient Assistance Fund. Sponsorship dollars will be used to provide both cancer research
