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.
Unlike others in his position, he freely and graciously continues to share his knowledge.” Hoover’s Patachou, Inc. proudly provides sponsorship for Mickey’s Camp, a unique camping experience Maurer created 15 years ago. What if you could combine two and a half days of fun events, relaxation and networking in a different environment than you are used to?
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.

“I am fortunate to be able to call Mickey Maurer a mentor, as well as a friend,” shares Hoover. “So often people refer to him as a ‘serial entrepreneur,’ but really he is a ‘serial mentor.’ Always generous to me personally, to countless others and to the community at large, Mickey gives of his time, talent and treasure. “I never walk away from even a chance meeting without learning something.

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
with my dad and watching him in action.” “This is the ninth year for women and the 15th year for men,” shares Strolberg. “We have many repeat campers, but new campers are always welcome.” And thanks to donors like Patachou, Inc., campers experience incredible meals. “We have amazing partnerships providing our meals such as Patachou, Scholars Inn, Palomino, Kahn’s Catering, Traders Point Creamery, Amore, Sullivan’s and Shapiro’s, to name a few!” says Burnett. “We are so grateful for all of our sponsors!” “Mickey’s Camp is a rewarding experience with so many stories,” shares Strolberg. “It is a great opportunity to try new things, and it can be whatever you want it to be. There are people who do wine tasting, gourmet cooking and anything that isn’t fitness related. There is something for TOWNEPOST NETWORK / JULY 2015 / TownePost.com
everyone, no matter what kind of person you are, athletic or not, and each camper can choose eight options from over 40 activities, which encourages campers to come back and try more things.” “Similar to Dr. Seuss’ ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ lesson, how do you know you don’t like them unless you try?” adds Burnett. “After all, trying something new might spark an unknown passion or skill.” Maurer and his wife, Janie, have three children and nine grandchildren.

Decked Out in White Wines
Writer / Kurt Wieneke . Photographer / Brian Brosmer
W
armer weather is here, so it’s time to have a glass (or two) of white wine out on the deck. Wine always seems more enjoyable to me when I drink it outdoors. I don’t know why, but let’s chalk it up to that’s where it comes from. Winemaking is just a way of getting the grapes from the vine into the glass.
ALBARINO
Here are some white wines to seek out this summer:
SAUVIGNON BLANC
RIESLING
The main thing to remember is to find one from Germany where this grape shines best. Look for the three (increasing) levels of sweetness levels listed on the label – kabinett, spatlese and auslese. If none of these are listed, it’s probably a Qualitatswein (or QbA) in the fine print, which is the entry level and also a good starting point. A couple to look for would be the Leitz Dragonstone or the ‘Dr. L’ (Loosen Bros.).
This Spanish white wine (and grape) is a delight even to the most jaded of connossieurs. If you like Chardonnay, you will also like Albarino because it has a similar textural profile (I call it ‘fatness’). Pour a glass of chilled Albarino at your next outing, and you’ll be traveling to Spain without the airfare.
You have a lot of regions to choose from when shopping for Sauvignon Blanc – California, New Zealand and (wait for it…) yes, even Bordeaux. As far as California, I really like Geyser Peak’s version – very fruity with good balancing acidity. My sister-in-law likes the New Zealand versions because they have a more concentrated and in-your-face style. But why not go traditional? A classic White Bordeaux is real deal Sauvignon Blanc.
PINOT GRIS
Translated as “gray pinot,” this refers to the hint of gray color in this grape’s skin. There are three regions where this wine is most popular. Pinot Grigio is the Italian version. Pinot Gris from the Alsace region of France is the textbook version. But hold the presses – the ones from Oregon are a true revelation with a fruit-forward style that will have you smacking your lips. Try the King Estate or the ‘A to Z’ Winery for starters. Where can I find these wines, you might ask? Well, you can probably find a decent Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc in your local supermarket. Outside of that, the best place to find these types of wines is your local wine merchant or a larger liquor store chain. When you do find one, hit the deck and enjoy the sunset!

“Do you want to buy a racehorse?” Those were the first words from Noblesville resident Garrick Mallery’s mouth when he called me the day after our interview. “Not really,” I said, wondering where this might be going. I did not have to wait too long. With a boisterous, amused chuckle, he replied, “Too bad. I race this horse at Hoosier Park up in Anderson, and he stays over on some of my 600 acreage in Sheridan. Let me know if you change your mind.” I doubt I will change my mind; however, I will not change my mind on how engaging this self-described “Noblesville historian” was to talk to. Viewed by many community members and leaders as a well-respected businessman and compassionate health board member, the 87-year-old lives alone in a rambling grand brick home, surrounded by lush greenery and a creek in his backyard. His home’s interior has photos on the walls of family vacations, his deceased wife and old photos from when he was a boy on the farm. “I was born in 1927 and lived through the Great Depression. We always had enough to eat, and that was good enough for us,” he noted. 20 / NOBLESVILLE COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / JULY 2015 / atNoblesville.com
His office contains his worn leather high school football helmet and his honorable U.S. Air Force cap. Also commemorated in his office are remnants from his days as a realtor. “I sold farms to farmers all over Hamilton County — Noblesville, Fishers and Carmel – in 1948 when I was still in school at Purdue.” “I have also helped make transactions up near 146th Street and what was once Deer Creek [now Klipsch]. I have seen many changes in my lifetime. Many people do not like to see changes in Noblesville or around here, but it is all good,” he said matter-of-factly. Other real estate deals have involved land that is now full of houses and commercial property.
“I was born in 1927 and lived through the Great Depression. We always had enough to eat, and that was good enough for us.”
Mallery was raised on a farm in Noblesville. Both his father and grandfather were farmers in Noblesville, and they came from a line of farmers who were original Hamilton County residents in 1820. After graduating high school, Mallery attended Purdue University for one semester before he joined the U.S. Air Force in 1946. He was supposed to serve in Japan, but his orders were cancelled last minute. Although he was only in the Air Force for two years, he succeeded quickly, becoming a second lieutenant within his first year. After the Air Force, Mallery went back to Purdue and was very involved in school activities. In an article in the Butler Collegian in December 2013, he stated he was in a fraternity, president of the Economic club and hosted a radio show every Tuesday night, a half-hour show on the School of Agriculture. This big Boilermaker fan took that same dedicated involvement into the Noblesville community as well. He was instrumental in starting the county health board and is still involved 50 years later. Mallery lost his wife, Nancy, in 2009. He reminisced about meeting her the first time at a Christmas dance in 1952 when another man brought her as his date. He asked her out on a Sunday and took her to “the most extravagant restaurant” he could find that
had a buffet, complete with “tomato juice spurting elegantly from fountains.” “She went home after our third date and told my sister-in-law, ‘I met the guy that I’m going to marry,’” Mallery said. Together they raised four children: daughter Carol Payne, a mortgage underwriter, and sons David, food business; Fred, retired real estate; and John, a banker. He also has eight grandchildren, one great-grandchild and one on the way.
He also is a dedicated historian. He took his children on many historical trips and pushed the seriousness of education. However, his age does not slow this community leader down. “I tell people all the time that I can remember doing things with Abraham Lincoln, but I don’t go back as far as George Washington,” he stated. “I love Noblesville, and I hope anyone who lives here appreciates all that it has to offer as much as I do.”

MASCOT MONTHLY New Magazine to Change the Face of High School Sports Writer / Keeley Miller . Photographer / Brian Brosmer
Next month, a new magazine will be hitting your mailboxes. Mascot Monthly, a full color sports magazine, will connect local school athletics to their communities, beginning with Hamilton Southeastern. The Mascot Monthly will reach over 16,000 people every month through direct mailing to every HSE school district home as well as free distribution at the games. "My initial reaction was that this could be unbelievable to promote HSE Athletics," said Greg Habegger, athletic director at HSE. "It’s been interesting to me in this office that people in this day and age get their news in different ways. Obviously they can go to their phones and look up Twitter or look up a website. Instantly I thought this is going to fill a void that people are looking for."

“We couldn’t be more excited about the potential of working with Mascot. We think that it is going to promote athletics in our community beyond what we can even imagine. We see people getting excited about athletics that maybe didn’t even realize what all went on here.”
With 3,000 students, it can be easy for athletes to be lost in the crowd, especially in smaller sports. There are so many students with stories that never get shared – the female wrestler, the freshman that runs half marathons, the sophomore from Japan that plays baseball because it reminds him of his life back home. Mascot Monthly is a place for these stories, regardless of whether they are the senior football star or the freshman lacrosse newbie. "Something that we believe in as an athletic department is we never use the phrase ‘major and minor sports.’ To those athletes and to those parents and grandmas and grandpas, they’re all major, and they should be," said Jim Self, co-athletic director at HSE. "I sometimes think when you look at local newspapers, basketball and football are covered really well. But we’re really proud of all of our sports. We’ve got kids doing great things in all of our sports, and sometimes that’s hard to get that message out there, what kids are accomplishing in some of our other sports that aren’t basketball and football."
Mascot Monthly will feature student athletes, their coaches, their fans and their teams. The magazine will also function as a program at sporting events. From the publishers of the TownePost Network as well as former Indianapolis Colts Marketing Director and sports columnist Ray Compton, Mascot Monthly will share stories through print, video and social media.
"We couldn’t be more excited about the potential of working with Mascot. We think that it is going to promote athletics in our community beyond what we can even imagine. We see people getting excited about athletics that maybe didn’t even realize what all went on here. I am amazed that there are still people who don’t know we have 19 sports or state-level competitors in all our sports," said Habegger.
"The Mascot is different because it will be the first monthly publication dedicated only to a high school’s sports activities. It will be the hyper local journalism that we have been doing for 11 years but put into the high school setting," said TownePost Network and Mascot Monthly publisher Tom Britt. "We can provide really good content in a very well-defined market that is not being served at all right now."
"We are just excited for the opportunity for people to open up a mailer and see what is going on here. Maybe that means that they will come to a game, buy a ticket, buy some concessions and be a part of what we are doing here." Visit mascotmonthly.com for more information.
Mascot Monthly will benefit the school not only promotionally, but financially. Thousands of dollars from advertising will go straight back to the athletic department with $100 donated for every advertisement.
