With appreciation, Constable Jannette Roberts was honored for her service on July 3, 2010, by kayaking her way down Prestonwood Forest Drive in the Fourth of July parade followed by an Open House in the Clubhouse where many residents had the opportunity to say thank-you and exchange goodbyes.

A special acknowledgement of kindness is due the “cup-cake” ladies, i.e. Rita Eckardt, Ellie Metrin, Dottie Saxton, Mary Wallace and our “cheesecake” lady, Bonnie O’Neill, for all their baking and serving talents. The treats were all scrumptious.

Jannette is settled now in her Bountiful home and enjoying the Utah scenery by accumulating miles on her hiking boots.

With her permission, I pen her permanent address:
Jannette Roberts
5 East 1300 South
Bountiful, Utah 84010

Without her permission, I share with you that her Birthday is August 10th.
(She will be 29 again.)

Once again Prestonwood Forest residents celebrated Independence Day with our neighborhood parade. The holiday feeling was shared by young and old alike whether marching, riding, strolling, rolling or just watching. Click here to see some great photos provided by our good neighbor Derryl York. Thanks Derryl!

As you well know, Tropical Storm Alex is in the gulf and could possibly make landfall in South Texas later this week. While the Houston area may not be directly affected by the storm, this is the best time to remind everyone to get prepared for hurricane season if you haven't already. Please take a moment to prepare your household for bad weather and obtain the necessary supplies and information regarding evacuation routes to be ready for any situation. You can obtain the best information from the City of Houston Office of Emergency Management by visiting their website at www.houstonoem.net. Or obtain your hurricane tracking and emergency guide from a local grocery store. Your Association is prepared for the storm season and you should too. Please contact High Sierra Management with any questions you may have.

Thanks,

She was Constable Roberts, professional for sure, but she was also Jannette to many of us and we considered her a friend, a confidant, and part of our families. After 24+ years of service she has elected to turn in her uniforms and transition to a well-deserved retirement. Jannette retreats to her home in Bountiful, Utah where she is anxious to fill her days with reading, hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and photography.

There are times when employees go above and beyond their call for duty and Prestonwood Forest was the beneficiary of Jannette’s dedication to service. .She answered our calls, earned our trust, and protected us. We will not remember her necessarily for the arrests, the traffic tickets, or the endless hours spent working her cases but for her drive-throughs in the development with the windows down, left arm resting on the door, head turned, smiling. (Well, ok … some of us got a finger wag when she caught us rolling through a stop sign.)  How about those middle of the intersection exchanges when she was standing checking our seat belts and registration tags? She knew us all by name and knew our children as well. She spent endless hours listening, counseling, redirecting and caring about us. Her laugh was infectious. Her work ethic and good deeds have not gone unnoticed and she leaves us with precious memories and a job well done.

Constable Roberts will be joining us on Saturday, July 3, 2010 for the parade and festivities. Join us in saying goodbye to Jannette at the Clubhouse. Bring your remembrances and stories, verbal or written, pictures, cards or just come to say goodbye to one of Precinct 4’s finest.

It is with regret that the Board has accepted the resignation of Jon Hancock on Friday, June 4, 2010.

As Vice-President, Jon was instrumental in developing policy and procedures and helped keep the board focused on its mission and vision.

He served as Director of Pest Control, Waste Services and most recently as Landscape. If you have visited Pool II recently you have seen the recent landscape and drainage improvements, a project Jon directly oversaw. He was passionate about our community and always willing to serve wherever he was needed. Jon never missed a Board meeting while serving a 25 month term. We wish him well as he returns to retirement, to his wife, Elaine, and to his family, especially his grandchildren.
