MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
Holliday graduate seeking
second straight gold
rsitv u

ate of Holliday High School, is
a member of the USA Olympic
Weightlifting Team and will be
competing in the USA Weight-
lifting American Open Champi-
onships December 6-8 in Dallas.
Last year’s American Open
meet yielded a gold medal fin-
ish for McCoy, “ft will be a
great competition with the best
lifters in the US,” she said, add-
ing, “This will be the national
meet that’s closest to home and
I’m excited for the opportunity
for family and friends to come
cheer me on!”
In addition to competing in
weightlifting, McCoy opened
her own gym in February 2013,

coaches gymnastics and weight-

weightlifting training and newly
added duties as a new business

Use Your Smartphone to Help You
Shop and Save this Holiday Season
Tools you can access with your smartphone can make holiday
shopping easier and more productive.
(StatePoint) During the holi-
day season the stores can be
even more stress-inducing than
usual — but only if you don’t
plan.
Luckily, being prepared is eas-
ier than ever. Over three-fifths
of US adults have smartphones,
according to a study by Pew In-
ternet & American Life Project,
changing the way people com-
municate, do their jobs and even
shop. To better navigate this
busy shopping season and save
time and money in the process,
use your smartphone as your
personal shopping assistant.
If you aren’t yet up to speed
with how mobile technology
can help with shopping, here are
some ideas for how to use your
smartphone to save money and
time this holiday season:
• Plan ahead: If you have a pre-
ferred shopping mall or shop-
ping district, view its website on
your phone to consult its direc-
tory, get a map of the mall, find
out about store hours and leam
about special events and deals.
• Simplify with Technology:
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by
the bombardment of ads touting
coupons, holiday sales and store
hours. By simplifying, you can
sort through the heavy stream
of information coming at you
via television and radio as well
as print and online media. Use
your smartphone -- it’s called
smart for a reason — to help you
find deals based on where you
like to shop and what products
you’re looking for.
For example, Shoptopia.com
and the Shoptopia iPhone app
filter products, retailers and pro-
motions to deliver personalized,
timely and relevant shopping
information and deals based
on your search criteria and lo-
cation. ft can even be a social
experience, as users can share
favorites with friends.
Shoptopia is available as a
free download in the iTunes app
store and can be accessed at
www. Shoptopia. com/news.
• Make a list: Santa makes
a list for good reason and so
should you. Before hitting the
stores, create a shopping list
on your phone. You can use a
shared document to store ev-
eryone in the family’s wish list
in one place. This will help you
avoid potentially large impulse
purchases stimulated by sales
and help you stay focused on
what you really need. Use per-
sonal finance apps to help you
stay on budget as you shop.
Don’t ruin the “the most won-
derful time of the year” with
shopping stress. Take advantage
of new tools that can make your
time in the store more produc-
tive and cost-effective — from
identifying new trends!
Socks for Seniors
What can you do Archer County?
Response has been picking up
for the Socks for Seniors cam-
paign sponsored by the Archer
County News. We still have a
long way to go to make sure all
of our seniors at the nursing cen-
ter, the home bound that receive
meals on wheels and seniors re-
ceiving help from Harvest Food
Ministry have some warm socks
for their feet during the cold of
the winter. The next time you
are shopping, pick up a new pair
of socks for a senior. It may be
the only present they receive.
Drop off some new socks for
our seniors at Archer County
News office, 104 E. Walnut on
the County Courthouse Square.
We are always here 9-5 Monday,
Tuesday 9-?(late) and Thursday
9-3.
Funky socks are fun for our se-
niors, but tube socks are needed
as well. It is a little harder to
find unique socks for the men.
You may find some neat slipper
socks.
Please help us make a differ-
ence this year by donating a new
pair of socks. Merry Christmas.
It s beginning
to look a lot
like Christmas!
