“Value investing helped turn my paycheque into true financial independence”

I grew up on a farm outside Kitchener, Ont., with eight brothers and sisters, and if any of us wanted anything we had to earn it. All of us worked from an early age and we had to give 15% of each dollar to my mother. That taught me something that is key to building wealth: always save something from each paycheque.

I never knew how long my hockey career would last, so I hired a great accountant the year I started playing pro. Every month I’d sit down with him and go over how much money I was making, how much I was paying in taxes, and exactly what the expenses were for the month.

I was a great saver from an early age, but I knew little about investing. So I kept things simple. I bought a house for my growing family at age 22 and paid it off quickly. I always lived within my means. In the off-season I even did some part-time work to increase my nest egg just in case my career was cut short. I made a little on the side through commercials and public speaking engagements and saved that, too.

All the while, I educated myself by reading books by great investors like Warren Buffett, as well as Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor. It talks about buying undervalued blue chips and holding them for the long term. When I read that, I knew I had found the right investment strategy for me. So I found an advisor who shared this philosophy and had him build a portfolio of just such stocks. It was a great decision.

It’s always important to stay on top of your own finances, but your advisors are probably smarter than you about investments. Still, I like to know my advisor has some skin in the game. After all, why are you recommending investments you think are great for me when you’re not willing to buy them yourself?

I have three kids, and I’ve tried to teach them that building financial as well as emotional well-being is important. I tell them to love what they do and keep earning a paycheque for as long as they can. Then if you live within your means and pay yourself first, wealth will naturally follow.”

Wool Sateen Fabric

A sateen weave imparts a particularly glossy surface, allowing an otherwise dull fabric the opportunity to shine. With only one interlacement between each warp and weft, even wool is able to be woven into an exceptional hand. Mood offers a variety of wool sateens due to its affinity for resisting pilling, fraying and wrinkling.

A new season of shows on the stage at range of county venues

Rallying Round by the NTC

Rallying Round by the NTC

Have your say

The excitement of the theatre is coming to various parts of the county.

Northumberland Theatre Company (NTC) productions will take place in town and village venues and Longhirst Village Hall is staging the first performance of the season.

Rallying Round, written by Stewart Howson, is described as a rollicking comedy/drama about youth, age and two very different worlds colliding with compassion.

Old soldier Airchie (played by Mr Howson) cons young Mo (played by Peter Swales) into giving him a lift to Monte Carlo, although Airchie is pretty hazy about the route and even their destination.

The performance of the play at Longhirst is being held tomorrow night from 7.30pm. Individual tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for children while a family ticket costs £15.

The other NTC production touring this autumn is Notes from the Front – venues include Morpeth Town Hall on Saturday, November 15.

Fresh Produce Storage Tips for Peppers, Lettuce, Tomatoes, and More

Fresh produce is one of the cornerstones of healthy diet, and each season brings its own cornucopia of fruit and vegetables into supermarket aisles, farmers’ markets and, of course, backyard gardens. But how do you make the best of your garden harvest (or even supermarket harvest) to extend its shelf life?

There are many methods of food preservation such as canning, drying and pickling, but in this post I’m going to talk specifically about fresh produce – that is, vegetables stored for a limited time period in their natural state.

Fresh peppers. It's wise to plant as much as you can reasonably use.

Don’t buy (or plant) more than you can reasonably use. When buying fresh produce, make a realistic estimate of how much of it you can use or preserve in a reasonable amount of time. My husband finds eggplants irresistible, so I’ll often find myself with ten eggplants taking up an entire refrigerator shelf, and thus I’m trying to think of new and creative ways to use up these big glossy vegetables before they aren’t so glossy anymore. When vegetables turn into something resembling a Petri dish before you have had time to use them, it probably means shopping (or planting) habits need to be re-examined.

Food Storage Tips for Top Vegetables

Tomatoes. Tomatoes don't react well to cold. They should be stored at room temperature until completely ripe and afterwards up to one week in the refrigerator. Remove stems before placing tomatoes in refrigeration. To prolong the tomato's shelf life, store in plastic bag with large holes for good air circulation, and put a paper towel (or small kitchen towel) next to the tomatoes to absorb excess moisture. Personally, I prefer a plastic box lined with a towel, for compact storage.

Note: slightly wilted, wrinkled tomatoes may not be very good for salads, but are perfectly fine in sauces, stews, soups, etc.

Bell peppers. Peppers are more cold-tolerant than tomatoes. A firm pepper in good condition can be stored in the refrigerator up to ten days. The nylon bag and paper towel idea can be used in this case too.

Cucumbers. In many refrigerators the temperature is too low for cucumbers; on the other hand, they can't be stored outside the refrigerator, because they tend to wrinkle and shrivel up very quickly. The best compromise appears to be, again, storing them in a plastic bag with a paper towel. Always remove the residue of the flower attached to the cucumbers, because rot usually begins to spread from there.

Eggplants. Like cucumbers, don't react well to cold, but can't be stored outside of the refrigerator for a long time either, so it's better not to stock on them. Personally I only refrigerate them during the summer months. It is recommended to buy light eggplants with firm, shiny skin. Heavy eggplants tend to have many seeds, which add a bitter taste.

Lettuce. Lettuce, like other leafy vegetables, needs to be stored in very cold temperatures close to freezing point. In your average refrigerator, it will survive in decent condition for approximately a week. To prevent wilting and allow air circulation, it's best to store lettuce in a plastic bag with tiny holes.

It's important to remember that the upper shelves of a refrigerator are slightly colder than the lower shelves — it's particularly true for older refrigerators (such as ours). Therefore, if storage at room temperature isn't practical, we store cold-sensitive veggies on the lower shelves.

Parsley. We love fresh parsley in soups, stews, meatballs and various other dishes; however, I only use a bit each time. As a result, whenever there’s a fresh bunch of parsley, about half of it gets used at once, and the other half slowly wilts, until it looks very sorry indeed and finally goes out to the chickens. I solve it by shredding the parsley in a food processor, pressing it into an ice cube tray and freezing it. This way I have handy small portions of fresh parsley to use in cooking. The same method can of course be applied to any herbs such as cilantro, basil, thyme, mint, etc.

Ferrari 250 GT Boano

The early Ferrari road cars were produced in very small numbers but by 1955 a publicity brochure described a new model as “the first series-produced vehicle benefiting from the experiences of the race track”. The new model that this brochure described was the second series of Ferrari 250 GTs, which became known as the 250 GT Boano Coupé and 250 GT Ellena Coupé.

Boano built at least 66 of the Pinin Farina-designed coupés, which was considered a large number in Ferrari’s early days. When Boano was asked to head the design department of Fiat, the company was handed over to his son-in-law Ezio Ellena, still partnered by Luciano Pollo, and the company became Carrozzeria Ellena, the third to produce the same design.

Although the design was essentially the same, all three coachbuilders had subtle differences. The Pinin Farina-built cars had a slightly higher wing line. The Boanos had a lower roofline, which prompted the commonly used terms “high roof” for the Ellenas and “low roof” for the Boano-built cars. The Pinin Farina and Boano cars had quarter lights in the side windows while the Ellenas did not. (The first few cars built by Ellena were identical in appearance to the “low-roof” Boanos, but the aforementioned differences are evident on the remaining cars.) Ellena had produced 50 cars when Ferrari ended the production run. A new 250 GT model had been designed by Pinin Farina and they would produce it themselves.

This car was auctioned off by RM Auctions in August 2009 at the Portola Hotel & Spa and Monterey Conference Center, Monterey, California and in March of 2011 at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, Florida.

240 bhp at 7,000 rpm, 2,953 cc single overhead camshaft V-12 engine, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension with A-arms and coil springs, live rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 102".

3. Dealer Selection

Having recently crested 20,000 miles, the Lexus required another service stop, so senior editor Ron Kiino ferried the LS to Tustin Lexus. The O.C. dealer performed the maintenance-oil change, tire rotation, inspection-for $269.15. Unfortunately, that wasn’t all we’d have to pay.

The tech informed Kiino that the LS’s front brakes, despite having 20 percent of their pads left, were touching the brake sensors, prompting a replacement. Another $427.33 later, and we had new front brakes. Any more? Of course. The dealer also pointed out that the rear tires needed replacing and the fronts had almost reached their wear bars, as well. After a $909.46 call to The Tire Rack and a $132.99 installation stop at Davis Brothers Tires, the LS had new shoes, this time OE summer tires (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A1, W-rated) instead of the all-seasons (SP Sport Maxx A1 A/S, V-rated) that came on the car.
