SPRING GARDENING IN MARCH MADNESS
MARCH GARDEN CHORES: (While it is too early to plant, there is much to do!)
Continue to sow seeds indoors. Clean and disinfect garden pots prior to planting. Pick up some Pansies at the garden center. Clean up winter debris. Position birdhouses in high, safe locations. Keep feeding those birds.
Writer / Carrie Petty
March madness is the appropriate term this month for any gardener in Indiana! My husband always reminds me it usually snows during bracket season. Don’t you just love the Final Four? Our family does the whole bracket celebration. This is a long cherished Petty tradition full of healthy competition among neighbors and coworkers. Between March 15 and April 6, the NCAA gets into high gear. A Reader’s Digest article noted that, “this year, American companies would lose $1.9 billion in wages paid to unproductive workers spending company time on betting pool priorities.“ Gardeners also gamble on the chance of snow and spring frost. Spring snow in the garden often causes some panic. Many worry that daffodils will start to sprout too early. “Will they be ok?” Folks often ask me. The answer is usually, “Yes!”
Improve soil by adding organic mushroom compost. Finalize new garden designs and additions to your flowerbeds. Double-dig any new garden beds now. Pot-up left over bulbs stored in cold garages for Easter bloom. Fertilize Rhododendrons and Azaleas. Fertilize all flower gardens with 10-10-10.
Here’s the deal, Mother Nature has the whole timing thing down. She is all about timing. So when you see those little crocus sprouts, or the tips of your tulips begin to emerge, don’t worry too much. They know what they are doing. If you want to cover them with a little newspaper or a sheet, because a blanket of ice is coming, do it! Especially cover if the flower buds are well emerged. The Spring Equinox of 2020 in the Northern Hemisphere will begin at 11:50 p.m., on Thursday, March 19. Now, can I tell you how excited this makes me? How utterly curious I think it is that a season begins within an exact set of minutes. God ‘created’ Mother Nature, whom I dig and appreciate fully, to be the ‘hippest chick’ in the bunch! I adore the perfect timing of it all. The English gardeners have long believed in timing when it comes 6 / BROWNSBURG MAGAZINE / MARCH 2020 / BrownsburgMagazine.com
to the moon’s incredible power, particularly the gravitational pull. The Farmer’s Almanac reads, “Folklore is rich among farmers, given their close ties to Earth and her natural rhythms. The moon’s new and first-quarter phases, known as the Light of the Moon, are considered good for planting above-ground crops, putting down sod, grafting trees and transplanting in the late spring.”
Now put down your pencil and bracket and get outside! You will get ahead of your game if you accomplish some demanding chores early in the growing season, in order to have more time to enjoy the best months of the Indiana gardening season — April, and most importantly, May!
And, you have to love this tip, “Dig your horseradish in the full moon for the best flavor.” This is good to know for that savory Bloody Mary on Sunday NCAA game days! While I love the perfect timing of it all, it is ok to ‘force’ a few things along the way, too. Now is a great time to plant small vessels with Wheat Grass seed to use indoors for your Easter table centerpieces. Wheat Grass is like regular grass seed but the blade is thicker for a more pronounced tuft of green! Also, get out and clip a few branches off your blooming trees and place them in a vase of clean, warm water. In about two weeks, their buds will break and begin to swell and soon you will have fresh crabapple, cherry, dogwood, redbud blooms indoors. This is a great task for children to do and will inspire their curiosity in the garden. Let the Madness Begin!

WINDOW WORLD INDIANAPOLIS 1229 Country Club Road Indianapolis 317-209-0008 windowworldindianapolis.com
Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing Photographer / Amy Payne
Window World is headquartered in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina and is America’s largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, with more than 200 locally-owned offices nationwide. Founded in 1995, the company sells and installs windows, siding and other exterior products, with a total of 19 million windows sold to date. In 2000, Jeff Pittenger was living in Louisville doing sub-contracting work, including windows and siding, when one day he saw a man putting up a Window World sign in the area. He asked the fellow if he needed someone to install windows and the next thing he knew he was selling them. “Once I ventured into that aspect of the business, I never picked up a hammer again,” says Jeff, who recruited his stepfather, Ken Shake, to come out of retirement to join the team. Ken retired from the Naval Surface Warfare Station Louisville as a supervisor over Welding, Fiberglass, Pipe Fitting and Fabrication. He was involved in all types of the development and repair for the navy weapon systems. According to Jeff, Ken “couldn’t sit still” post-retirement so Window World was a great transition. In 2005, an opportunity arose for them to open a Window World store in Indianapolis. Jeff didn’t have the resources to purchase the franchise on his own so he asked his stepdad for help. Ken was all in and so he and his wife, Sally, along with Jeff and his wife, Leslie, moved to Indiana.
Window World, which specializes in windows, siding, doors, and more, quickly became a family affair as Jeff’s wife, Leslie, and mom, Sally began managing the office.
installer, then became a salesman and then into management. “We are a close-knit, family-oriented business that’s nationally known but locally owned.”
They also later opened stores in Muncie, Columbus, Terre Haute and Lafayette. Today their daughter, Stephanie, runs the Lafayette location, Jeff’s son, Brandon, runs the Terre Haute store, and Jeff’s aunt and uncle, Tom & Lilian Fawbush, are co-owners of the Columbus store. As for the Indy location, a husband-and-wife team, Scott and Andi Holloway, manage the install department.
They pride themselves on supplying homeowners with the best windows, siding and doors at the best price.
“Scott has been with us since 2005,” says Leslie, noting that he started out as an MARCH 2020
“We offer free consultations with no pressure and transparent pricing,” Jeff says. “No ‘buy one, get one free’ tricks or ‘you have to sign today’ fake discounts. Our mission is to offer only the finest quality products with distinction and integrity and to do so at the lowest possible price. Quite simply, we offer
the best for less.” Window World is an environmentally friendly company. By reducing one’s carbon footprint, less power is used, thereby saving the customer money. “We like to say we are a green company that saves you green,” Jeff says. Through the years, the company has evolved immensely. “Everything is different now, starting with advertising,” Jeff says. “Back in the day, we did nothing but newspaper ads. I remember we used to laugh and say that we’d never do radio, television and billboard ads. Now we
do all of that, and about 40% of our jobs are referrals and repeat customers.”
wounded and their families for medical and other purposes.
They have also embraced the joy of giving back to the community they love and the nonprofits they believe in such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which treats children with cancer and researches cures for young patients with life-threatening diseases. Since 2008, the Window World company has raised and donated more than $11M to St. Jude and was named corporate partner of the year for 2010.
“We’re big into racing so for the past nine years we have sponsored John Andretti and his son, Jarett, in the Daytona 500, Indy 500 and Sprint Car & GT-4 Racing,” Leslie says. In addition, Window World sponsors John’s Race for Riley Annual Progressive Dinner, which is a night of fundraising that includes a silent and live auction.
They also support Riley Hospital for Children and the Veterans Airlift Command, which provides free air transportation to post 9/11 combat
“The first year John Andretti started the Race for Riley, roughly $3,000 was raised. Last year, it was around $360,000 so it’s come a long way,” Jeff says. “You can’t explain how different it is for kids who go to a hospital with people who are so beautifully trained to care for a sick child. Our grandson was first in a hospital in Terre Haute before getting transferred to Riley and it was a night-andday difference in the care he received.” Customers constantly tell Jeff and Leslie how much they appreciate the care and professionalism they exhibit regularly. Check them out on the Better Business Bureau website. “So many companies refuse to even come out and talk to you or give a quote unless both decision-makers are home, but we don’t operate like that,” Leslie says. “If only the husband or wife is there, we will still go out and provide a free estimate. We’re not high-pressure because we give good pricing upfront.” They also offer the industry’s strongest limited lifetime warranty and all of their products are energy-star approved. “If you break a window, we’ll replace it at no charge as long as the original purchaser still lives there,” Leslie says. Window World and its products have earned the Good Housekeeping Seal for 11 consecutive years. “We are one of only two window companies to earn this award,” Leslie says.

in the business, whether that’s helping out in the warehouse or simply looking adorable for an ad.
Window World received the J.D. Power Award for ranking highest in the 2019 Windows and Patio Doors Satisfaction Study. “We have ranked highest in overall customer satisfaction among window and patio door companies for five out of the past seven years,” Leslie says. In addition, Window World received the best rating for the price customers paid for windows and installation. “I remember going to meetings at our corporate office and seeing the banner on the wall that said, ‘60,000 windows sold nationally’ and those were big numbers,” Jeff says. “Hard to believe we’re at 19 million.” The whole family loves their careers at Window World, but they also are thrilled to keep the business in the family and someday pass the torch on to the next generation. Family members are already used to being
“Our grandkids are in a lot of television commercials and billboard ads in Terre Haute and people are always saying, ‘Those kids are so cute!’” Leslie says. Window World’s mission is to give its customers a quality product at a reasonable price, with excellent service in a timely manner. Their goals are to provide their employees with a safe working environment to meet their professional career goals and help achieve Window World’s objectives. Window World is located at 1229 Country Club Road, Indianapolis, IN 46234.

Why We Never Quit Climbing Our Biggest Mountains Writer / Gary Sinclair Photography Provided
My wife Jackie and I live in Avon, Indiana. We love it here and gladly make it our home most of the year. Our neighbors are wonderful, the amenities plentiful and everything we need is right at our fingertips. Best of all, our daughter Amy, her husband David, and their four boys live six minutes away. Our son Tim (the voice of the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse) and his two boys are less than two hours away. But another Avon beckons to us, some 1,100 miles to the west. It’s teeming with adventure opportunities, local traditions, snow in winter, gorgeous scenery - and oh, did I mention mountains? Located in central Colorado at the base of the Beaver Creek ski area, Avon has been our temporary home for a week or two during many of the last twenty summers. This alpine town and its mountains were also the settings of the first chapter of a story that altered and enhanced our lives forever. My love for mountains began when I was in elementary school, and my parents made vacations to the west a high priority. We didn’t have a lot of money, but mom and dad saved up every year and helped grow their kids’ love of the high country in places like Yosemite, Banff, Wyoming, Glacier and of course Colorado.
Jackie & Gary Sinclair
Providing High Quality Remodeling Services As a result, when we had children I was determined to give them the same opportunity to be drawn to the big peaks. As they grew older, I initially committed to conquer at least three summits with Tim. Our first was Long’s Peak, the highest visible mountain to the northwest of Denver. I tried that climb with my mom and dad when I was 11, but dad and I got sick at 13,000 feet and had to go back down.

What a thrill it was to stand on top of Long’s Peak with my son some 30 years later after a challenging eight-mile climb. We went on to do three more summits over the next few years. My daughter Amy and I also topped out on several 14,000feet climbs after that. During those climbs, we learned that mountains have much to teach us about determination, perseverance and appreciation of the beauty all around us, but I never dreamed of the tougher lessons that were still to come. In 2003, Jackie and I returned to our beloved Avon, Colorado. The kids were grown and ready to start their own families, traditions and vacations, so we were on our own for this trip. One day I mentioned to Jackie that I wanted to tackle another 14,000-foot climb and she said she would like to try one too. She was already an avid hiker but hadn’t bagged a summit.
We picked Grey’s Peak in central Colorado. A fourteener is never easy, especially for those of us who live near sea level, but this one seemed doable so we went for it. Thankfully, after some six hours of steep hiking, Jackie and I celebrated on the summit as July snow flurries landed in our hair and a storm rumbled in the distance. We headed down quickly, eating a progressive lunch along the way. We couldn’t have been happier or more proud of our success - until about three months later. Jackie went to her doctor with symptoms that appeared related to past problems. Her general practitioner said nothing looked serious but suggested she see a specialist to confirm his diagnosis and give extra peace of mind. Within a couple of weeks she and Amy, who was preparing for her upcoming wedding, decided to go to the appointment, have some mother-daughter time over lunch and then look at wedding dresses. However, after a couple of hours, Jackie called me and said the surgeon was sure she had stage-three colorectal cancer. While Jackie had undergone a colonoscopy and other exams during prior months, a tumor had not shown up. A tumor had been hidden and the cancer had spread into the surrounding area of her body. The initial prognosis included two bouts each of radiation and chemo, two surgeries and extensive recuperation. And it was possible that she would die.

must take our new mountain on all at once, and yet that was overwhelming. Only after some time absorbing the initial shock and facing our mountain head-on were we able to think like climbers again, and bring experience to Jackie’s cancer. We were reminded that there are basic principles that all climbers know will give them greater chances of success. We knew they could apply to any mountain - even a personal, major one like ours. Some people face mountains of debt, poor relationships, grief and loss, unknown futures, children who are struggling, or addictions, just to name a few. And while everyone’s climb is unique, it’s essential to include the basics.
Here are a few: Climb one part of your trail at a time.
Never climb any mountain looking at the summit. It’s just too big and you’ll become paralyzed and discouraged by trying to scale your mountain all at once. On real mountains, we take candy bars

and eat one after we’ve reached our first goal. The same works on our personal mountain. Only focus on the next task, the next switchback! If you owe money, worry about the next payment. If you have an addiction, your next step might be making an appointment, attending a meeting or changing a small lifestyle habit. If you’re grieving, the next goal might be getting through the following day or an upcoming holiday.
Never climb alone.
We quickly learned how much we needed other people to help us, whether it was bringing food, encouraging us when we were down or taking Jackie to appointments when I could not. It’s not the time to be tough, suck it up and do it all yourself. Get a few of the right people around you - have some fellow travelers you know and trust, and who will motivate you.
Be honest about your mountain.
Don’t dress it up and make it look better than it is. If you owe $50,000 then admit it all. If you have an illness, talk about how serious it is. If a relationship is tenuous then spill the whole story to someone. Personal, challenging mountains are part of life and we can bless them or curse them. But the best response is to embrace them. Each challenge prepares us for something down the road and makes us stronger in the process.

6 Spring Cleaning Tips to Refresh Your Home Writer / Abigail Hake Photography Provided
Spring has finally sprung. It’s that time of year when you want to feel refreshed and clean, and declutter your house while you’re at it. With the weather starting to warm up, you’ll want to start heading outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air. Nevertheless, we all have a need to clean this time of year - so what is the best way to tackle this year’s spring cleaning to-do list? It doesn’t have to be overwhelming, and it can even be fun. Getting the house in working order again feels good, and you can do it. Here are a few tips that will help you along to a very successful spring cleaning campaign. Take it One Room at a Time Houses can be overwhelming when it comes to cleaning, so be sure to break your cleaning down into smaller, manageable projects. One easy way to do this is to think in terms of one room at a time. Use a room checklist as a place to start, and also as a way to prevent forgetting about items you might not always clean. If you’ve already cleaned some items in certain rooms then feel free to skip, but you are sure to find something that’s taken a back seat all
winter and needs a deep clean. Start with rooms that get the most traffic so that if your plans get derailed, you’ll still have a sense of accomplishment. Clear the Clutter One of the biggest and best parts of spring cleaning is the purging of anything and everything you don’t need anymore. The feeling of letting go is a major way to refresh your soul this spring. Think about this in four categories - trash or recycle, sell, donate, and, finally, put away. There are always things we want to keep, and some we can do without. Make piles for each. If you choose to sell, list items on Facebook Marketplace as you are setting those items aside. With regard to donations, see if you can fill a bag to donate every day for a month. You can also plan a garage sale - cleaning is so

Use the Right Tools and Supplies There are many cleaning supplies and tools out there that companies want you to think that you need, but it’s better to refrain from buying everything. Having dozens and dozens of cleaning products on hand at all times just clutters up the cabinets. Along with your mop, broom and vacuum, make sure you have a good all-purpose cleaner on hand for most projects. Other basics include an all-purpose powder or liquid cleaner for larger washable surfaces, an abrasive cleaner for small, heavily soiled areas, a nonabrasive cleaner for gentle cleaning on surfaces that scratch easily, chlorine bleach, glass cleaner, a furniture duster, and a toilet-bowl cleaner. These items should get you started quite nicely. Call in the Pros If your budget allows, there might be a few things you could take off of your list and
bring in a professional to clean. Window, carpet and upholstery cleaning are much easier tasks for pros who do it all the time. Not only will this save you time, but it also might save you money as certain tasks often require tools you probably don’t have on hand. Hopefully these tips will help to get your spring cleaning off to a great start this year.
If you want more help, there are plenty of spring cleaning checklists out there with specific tasks to keep you on track. There’s no need to scour the web for hours and hours - search “Spring Cleaning Checklist” online and plenty of lists will pop up. Pick your favorite and go down the list until you are done (or exhausted, whichever comes first). Good luck!

After-Pregnancy Blues: Cause for Concern? Writer / Tracey McInnes
It’s normal for moms to feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed or just plain tired after giving birth. In fact, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, up to 80 percent of mothers will experience the “baby blues.” “Most women get the baby blues within a few days of giving birth,” explains Tracey McInnes, perinatal mood and anxiety disorder program coordinator at IU Health. “These feelings usually disappear three to five days after they start. If a new mother’s blues persist longer than two weeks after she delivers, or if the feelings become more extreme and impact a mother’s ability to care for herself or her baby, she may have a more serious condition called postpartum depression (PPD). PPD can develop during pregnancy or up to a year after childbirth.” The following signs may indicate PPD: • Crying more often than usual (or for no apparent reason) • Losing interest or pleasure in activities that are usually enjoyable • Eating too little or too much • Feeling moody, irritable, restless or angry • Having no energy or motivation • Oversleeping, or being unable to fall asleep or stay asleep
• Having a lack of interest in the baby • Constantly doubting ability to care for the baby • Having trouble concentrating or making decisions • Feeling worthless, hopeless or guilty • Thinking about hurting oneself or the baby “PPD can make it hard for women to get through the day, and undermine the confidence they need to care for their baby,” McInnes says. “Untreated PPD could even interfere with the baby’s brain development. That’s why it’s important to talk with your health care provider if you believe you might be experiencing PPD." PPD can be easy to overlook. After all, tiredness and other symptoms may result from sleep loss. A health care provider can determine whether symptoms are springing from another medical condition. Anemia, for example, can make you feel tired and irritable. Thyroid disorders can also cause symptoms similar to PPD. PPD can be treated effectively with talk therapy and/or medications. Your provider can help you choose the right treatment. If you suffer from PPD, consider finding a trusted friend or family member to talk with, in addition to talking with your doctor. Seek help with childcare and household chores if possible, and try to take time each day to do something special for yourself, resting as much as you can.

Brownsburg Swim Club Offers Something For All Ages & Abilities Writer / Jamie Hergott Photographer / Amy Payne

oach Keith Gast competed in his first swim meet at the tender age of five, and he started coaching at age 16. Today he brings twenty-five years of coaching knowledge to Hendricks County as the head coach of Brownsburg Swim Club. Brownsburg Swim Club is sanctioned by USA Swimming and United States Masters Swimming, and offers year-round training and competitive opportunities for swimmers of all abilities. Gast joined the club in September of 2015. He is also head coach of the Brownsburg High School (BHS) swimming and diving program, and teaches U.S. history. Gast got his start in swimming right here in Hendricks County. He grew up in Avon in the 1970s and started swimming as a child at the Prestwick Country Club. Avon built its first pool at the local middle school, after which Gast began swimming
competitively for Avon. He eventually swam with the Indy Swim Club at Ben Davis High School. When the BHS pool was built, club leaders relocated the club to the high school and changed its name to Brownsburg Swim Club in 2005.
high schools. One of the primary reasons Gast loves to coach is the relationships he gets to build with his kids.
“The best thing about it is when kids come back,” Gast says. “Some of the kids I Gast took a small break to attend law school, but the hiatus only encouraged him coached are now coaching, some have kids, and I’m starting to coach the kids of the to return to his roots. kids I coached. That just sticks out to me.” “It just made me realize that being a teacher and a coach was what I was meant Gast’s son is currently studying at Franklin College to be a teacher and swim coach, to do,” Gast says. and his daughter coaches high school swimming at New Albany High School. Gast swam competitively for Butler Nothing makes Gast happier than when University, where he achieved Allhis family gets together.

from the sport. “It teaches them discipline,” Gast says. “It teaches them time management and intrinsic motivation. It allows them to experience the thrill of competition. Winning is more fun than not winning, but you also learn lessons when you don’t win.”
Coach Keith Gast
The club includes members ranging from four years old to seniors in high school. In the summers, college athletes will return to swim, practice and compete. About 75 percent of the Brownsburg High School swim team competes in the club in the off-season, including 100 percent of the varsity swimmers. Seniors have six to nine practices per week, often pulling two practices per day before and after school, while the youngest group practices five days per week for an hour. Morning practices start as early as 6 a.m. and after-school practices run as late as 7:30 p.m., depending on the group. An average practice varies depending on the group. Younger swimmers spend a great deal of time on stroke technique, while senior swimmers put in a lot of yards and endurance swimming. “We do encourage all kids to do weightlifting and stretching on dry land,” Gast says. “In general, we have such a limited time with the kids that time is best spent swimming.” Gast is proud of the club’s recent accomplishments. For example, a club swimmer qualified for the USA Futures Championship in North Carolina last August. Last winter, boys in Gast’s 11- to 12-year-old category scored second place at the state meet. The club has grown immensely in the past few years. When Gast joined there were 146 registered swimmers, and this year there are 219. Gast largely credits the increase to his coaches and the parents who make up his board of directors. BrownsburgMagazine.com / MARCH 2020 / BROWNSBURG MAGAZINE / 27
Jen Schrier is in her fourth year as a club board member. Her two kids are in their fourth and fifth years of swimming in the club, and she’s passionate about how the experience has benefited them. “Swimming teaches them so much,” says Schrier, who has been a swimmer her entire life. “It teaches time management, self discipline, even math skills. They have huge friendships in the club and have learned so much perseverance.” The board meets monthly to make sure the club is financially sound, the coaches are well equipped, and the kids are being coached well. Schrier said swimming is different than other sports because coaches need certain certifications and licenses to keep everyone safe in the water. The board also plans a Christmas party in the winter and a picnic in the summer, as well as two to three large swim meets per year to raise funds. “It’s amazing that our kids get to swim in this amazing facility in our backyard,” Schrier says. “They see Olympians swim in that pool and then they can swim in it themselves.” Gast anticipates increased interest in swimming as the 2020 Summer Olympics draw near. Swimmers are welcome to try the club before committing. “We have some awesome coaches and a great group of parents on our board of directors,” Gast says. “I was always surprised when parents would reach out to me and ask if I knew of anything for the little kids to do. Everybody knows where to go for youth football, baseball and softball. We just want them to know where we are at.” For more info on Brownsburg Swim Club including registration details, go to teamunify.com/team/inbsc/page/ home.

Respond Like Jake 2nd Annual Deputy Pickett Remembrance Day Returns March 7 at the Boone County Fairgrounds Writer / Josh Brown Photography Provided by Remember this Photography & Snapshots by Sally Jane
March 2, 2018, is a day that will forever be remembered by Jennifer Pickett and all of Boone County. What started out as a routine arrest warrant being served by Lebanon Police officers, turned into a high-speed chase through the small town. The pursuit tragically ended with the death of Boone County Deputy Jacob Pickett, marking the first time in the department’s history that a deputy was shot and killed in the line of duty. Today, Jennifer is encouraging people to Respond Like Jake. That’s the mantra, the hashtag for the Jacob Pickett Response Organization, and it is a fitting one to honor the memory of the late Boone County Deputy. That challenge is one that Jennifer chose when she officially created the organization earlier this year because, she says, it embodies who her husband was. “Jake always helped out wherever he could,” Jennifer says. “I’ve had friends describe him as someone who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. My mom could call him and he’d go and change her tire. One time, my dad fell off a ladder and had to go to the ER. I was unavailable, but Jake was there with him for hours and helped him get home. He was

the community.
Remembering Jake & Serving Others
“The first year of the event was all about sharing memories of Jake and who he was beyond the uniform,” Jennifer says. “Around the time last year that we were thinking about doing this event again and what the purpose of it would be, I heard the news about my friend, Amanda. I was immediately sad about it. But I thought to myself, ‘If Jake were here, he would drop everything to be there for Joe and their family.’ And my sadness deepened because Jake isn’t here. That’s when I decided to not only do the event again but start an organization that brings to life Jake’s legacy. Our mission is to help law enforcement families by assisting with financial tolls brought on by traumatic events and to help facilitate that support, monetary or not.”
Proceeds from this year’s event will support Amanda Farinella and the Farinella family. “He was selfless,” she adds. “He was a protector Amanda was diagnosed with stage four lung who loved deeply and cared about the people cancer last October. Her husband, Joe, is a in his life and would support them in any way deputy with the Tipton County Sheriff’s that he could. As husband and wife, we were a Department, and the Farinella family has team. We made decisions and faced the world always held a special place in Jake and together. He was someone I could count on.” Jennifer’s hearts.
Today, Jennifer, and all of Boone County, remember and celebrate Deputy Pickett’s life through the Deputy Jacob Pickett Remembrance Day. This year, the 2nd Annual event will be held once again at the Boone County Fairgrounds on March 7. The inaugural event in 2019 served as a memorial and a time for the Pickett family and the Boone County community to heal and gain some closure after such a senseless tragedy. This year, the event will continue to honor Deputy Pickett but will also be providing support for another family in need, as well as plenty of family-friendly events for

The 2nd annual event will also include plenty of new activities for all ages including a corn hole tournament, a kid’s area with bounce houses, face painting, a photo booth and a DJ, a Red Cross Blood Drive, a chance to meet the BCSO and Tipton County K9s and more. The event will also include a silent auction for attendees and the opportunity to bid on unique items. Merchandise will also be for sale for fundraising efforts. A Heart for Adoption It takes a special heart to adopt, and adoption is a crucial piece of Jennifer and Jake’s story. Beyond frequently taking in and adopting dogs, the couple felt the call early on to also adopt children. The Picketts opened their home as foster parents on a few occasions. Today, Jennifer is the proud mother of their two adopted boys. The adoption process was being finalized around the time of Deputy Pickett’s passing. “Jake and I never thought about how hard it might be,” Jennifer says. “We always just thought that we have love to give and there was a need. So we did it. It made us better people just by being able to give that love and extend our family. I can’t imagine it being any other way.” As such, Jennifer aims to carry on Jake’s memory so the boys know who their father truly was. On the Jacob Pickett Response Organization website remembering626.org, which launched in February, visitors can find a “Share A Story” button. It allows people to share their memories and stories of how they knew Jake. Jennifer hopes to build up a memory bank of sorts with the stories to pass on to the boys. “I came up with the idea because the boys were so young when we lost Jake,” she says. “They are going to miss those experiences of Jake with his buddies and reminiscing and sharing stories. I thought this was a way that people could share those stories, and I can collect them. The boys are going to be able to hear those stories about their dad that they would have missed out on. It’s also for me.
After Jake passed, so many people reached out to me with their stories about Jake and some that I didn’t even know about. It was very helpful and heart-warming to hear those stories of how he touched people’s lives.” Jen & Brik Deputy Pickett, a Brownsburg High School alum, joined the Boone County Sheriff’s Office in 2015. He showed a passion early on for the K9 department and started working with his K9 partner, Brik, in 2016. Brik was alongside Jake that fatal day in 2018. Today, Brik is retired and living at home with Jennifer and the boys. These days, the beloved German shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix can sometimes be found going through the trash or trying to sneak a bite of food off the counter as he continues getting acquainted to home life. For Jennifer, though, Brik is a piece of Jake that lives on and a comfort to the Pickett family. “Brik is very important to our family,” she says. “He is, in a way, our piece of Jake that is still here on earth. Jake loved animals. It was his goal to become a K9 handler, and Brik was very important to him. Now, he’s settled in to being a lazy house dog and enjoys lounging around and chewing on things. He’s adjusted well. He does bring a lot of comfort to me and to the boys. They know he was daddy’s partner.” As March 7 approaches, Jennifer encourages any and all residents and surrounding community members to come out for the 2nd annual event. “The community response and support has been incredible over the years and more than I could have ever imagined,” she says. “I’m really excited and honored to do this event. We just want to bring people together, have fun and give back to the community.” For more information, a full list of activities and event times or to donate, visit remembering626.org or visit them on Facebook at facebook.com/ JacobPickettResponseOrg.
