25 TIPS TO AVOID BECOMING<br />
A VICTIM OF AUTO CRIME<br />
1. Hide your valuables from plain sight to avoid attracting thieves.<br />
2. Lock your vehicle and take your keys. Approximately 50% of vehicles<br />
stolen were left unlocked.<br />
3. Never hide a second set of keys in or on your vehicle.<br />
4. Park in well-lighted areas or attended lots. More than half of all vehicle<br />
thefts occur at night. Auto thieves tend to target unattended parking lots.<br />
5. Never leave your vehicle running, even if you will only be away for<br />
a minute. Vehicles are commonly stolen at convenience stores, gas<br />
stations, ATMs, etc. Many vehicles are also stolen on cold mornings when<br />
the owner leaves the vehicle running to warm up. Leaving your key in an<br />
unattended motor vehicle is a crime in Texas.<br />
6. Don’t leave documents with important personal details such as title<br />
or insurance card in your vehicle. A thief can use these to sell your stolen<br />
vehicle. File the title and registration receipt at your home or office and<br />
carry your insurance card in your purse or wallet.<br />
7. Park with your wheels turned toward the curb and use your emergency<br />
brake, making your vehicle less easy to tow away. Wheels should also be<br />
turned to the side in driveways and parking lots.<br />
8. Your vehicle may be more vulnerable when you park outside. If you<br />
have a garage, use it. Lock your garage as well as your vehicle’s doors.<br />
9. Disable your vehicle when leaving it unattended for an extended<br />
period. Remove the electronic ignition fuse, coil wire or distributor rotor<br />
or otherwise disable your vehicle any time thieves may have extended<br />
access to it.<br />
10. Engrave your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or personal I.D.<br />
number on expensive accessories and parts. Stolen vehicles/parts are<br />
more easily traced when VINs have been etched on vehicle windows, major<br />
parts and<br />
expensive<br />
accessories.<br />
11. Have an<br />
ignition or<br />
fuel kill switch<br />
installed by<br />
someone who<br />
is qualified.<br />
Ignition kill<br />
switches can be used to stop the vehicle from starting. A fuel kill switch<br />
cuts off the flow of fuel when the switch is off.<br />
12. Get locking devices for inside your vehicle. Visible steering wheel<br />
locks prevent the steering wheel from being turned properly. Gas or<br />
brake pedal locks disable the fuel and braking functions. Gearshift locks<br />
disable shifting of the transmission by locking it in place. Tire/wheel locks<br />
wrap around the wheel and prevent the vehicle from moving. Hood locks<br />
prevent the thief from gaining access to your security system and battery.<br />
An armored collar around the steering column protects the column and<br />
ignition.<br />
13. Get alarm systems for your vehicle. Alarms emit a loud warning sound<br />
when the door, hood or trunk are opened. Optional sensors include<br />
glass breakage, motion tampering and towing. Panic buttons, back-up<br />
batteries, flashing parking lights or headlights and automatic engine<br />
disable features are also recommended.<br />
14. Get a vehicle tracker, which is usually a silent device that can be<br />
hidden in a vehicle to transmit a signal that allows the vehicle’s location<br />
to be tracked.

CCS SOCIETY MEMBERS VOLUNTEER FOR CHILDREN’S TUMOR<br />
FOUNDATION<br />
Members of the <strong>Cypress</strong> Christian School National Honor Society<br />
volunteered at the NF walk benefiting the Children’s Tumor Foundation.<br />
NF, which stands for neurofibromatosis, is a condition that causes tumors<br />
to form in the brain, spinal column and nerves. This condition is usually<br />
diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood. Honor society students made<br />
such a difference in the lives of the many children present at the walk. They<br />
painted faces, dressed up as super heroes and personally interacted with<br />
the children and adults affected by NF. It was a great day of fun and service.<br />

CCS WARRIOR ATHLETES SET RECORDS<br />
The fall sports season at CyChristian has been a rewarding one for middle school and high<br />
school athletes. The Warrior football teams are experiencing one of the best seasons in<br />
school history. Cross country athletes set records when they competed on the toughest<br />
course in Texas and volleyball teams brought home trophies from multiple tournaments.<br />
In keeping with the athletic theme for <strong>2016</strong> of “character, courage, commitment,” CCS<br />
coaches have emphasized these qualities in practices, games and events to encourage<br />
the team through the season but, more importantly, to train them for life.<br />

CFISD POLICE COLLECTED DRUGS FOR<br />
DISPOSAL ON DEA’S ‘TAKE BACK DAY’<br />

career goals. A mentor is a suitable role committed to helping a student<br />
with his/her academic and social development. Mentors meet with<br />
students one-on-one for approximately 30 minutes each week. Currently,<br />
over 600 mentors are matched with students.<br />

attend a training session (REGISTER); complete a global volunteer/mentor<br />
application; consent to a criminal history record check; Training Sessions -<br />

a nametag). Your login information will then be sent to you by vSoft via<br />

<strong>Cypress</strong> Community Newsletter | <strong>November</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.<br />
Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to<br />
diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the<br />
U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and<br />
overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused<br />
prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from<br />
the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that<br />
their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines - flushing them<br />
down the toilet or throwing them in the trash - both pose potential safety<br />
and health hazards.<br />
For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about<br />
the October 22 nd Take Back Day event, visit the DEA Diversion website.<br />

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT<br />
For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found<br />
in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant<br />
in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting<br />
helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership<br />
skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.<br />
The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities<br />
that allow them to:<br />
• Try new things.<br />
• Provide service to others.<br />
• Build self-confidence.<br />
• Reinforce ethical standards.<br />
Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as individuals<br />
while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility and high<br />
self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, peer<br />
pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made.<br />
Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting<br />
through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help<br />
our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area<br />
Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5<br />
to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing<br />
units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.<br />
Many of our units are supported by the local Elementary Schools including:<br />
Birkes, Copeland, Duryea, Fiest, Hemmingway, Holmsley, Horne, Jowell,<br />
Lowery, Metcalf, Owens, Postma, Robinson, Sheridan, Tipps, Walker and<br />
Wilson.<br />

follows: “No requests, just don’t want to be forgotten.” -LCPL O.J.T. III<br />
When registering for Adopt A US Soldier your involvement can range from<br />
writing letters and sending postcards, to mailing care packages full of items<br />

meaningful to soldiers. Adopt A US Soldier encourages civilians to adopt<br />
a soldier to show your support for those that are making sacrifices for our<br />
