124tno Weekly' Times, Wednesday, October 23, 1985 'Plants a popular item Bazaar and Tea held at the Saturday. John Breen Parish Hall on One morning lte in the summer 1 went into a barb- er shop called "The Razor's Edge" on Brantford's Col- boumne St. to gel a haircut. 1 had an appointment, but flot necessarily to gel a haircut. Il was more to mneet the barber., I had my hair trimmed, and then the barber locked tjp his small shop, we hopped into my Mustang, and the two of us headed for Port Dover on Lake Erie to go windsurfing. At least the barber was going wind- surfing. I was te be the observer. So far, there's nothing too unusual about the story until you consider that Lloyd Pearce, the barber, will be 82 on his next birthday! Lake Erie was its choppy old self that day, but il didn't seem te, bother Lloyd a bit. Since it wasincorweQijent for hlm te bring his own board, the people who run the surfing sohool across frem Fred Knechtel's place on the Beach let us use one cf theirs. He changed into his swiffming trunks, grabbed the board, strede eut into the breakers and before tee long was skimming along the water, staying close te shore so Cameraman Terry Culbert could get some geod shots. Later, Terry went eut in a beat ta gel close-ups cf the speedy windsurfer. They stayed eut for about haîf an heur and as Lloyd pulled up his board on the sandy beach. 1 managed te crawl eut of my comfertable deck chair and amble ever. l'd been sitting there marvelling et his strength and agility. He's an amazing man! A super-senior who still works five days a week at his barber shop - when he's net out skiing, surfing or swimming. He's a small man, but he's lean and lithe and has the vitality and coordination of a teenager. His skin is un- lined and glows with obvious health. He's in tip-top~ shape. 'd assumed he'd be a jegger and work eut regularly in health clubs or something like that. But he deesn't do any of those things. His secret is somewhat surprising. It's massage! Although he's a great believer in toe-touching exer- cises and others of a similar nature, it's the massaging that gives his muscles and skin their extraordinary tone. Lloyd calîs his bathroom his home gymnasiumn where he -takes a little exercise" every morning. -l massage my gums, teeth, roof of my mouth and tongue first," he says. -Then I work down to the thyroid and around the back of my neck to the major arteries. Finally the muscles, using lois of pressure." After we'd talked for awhile Lloyd decided bc go out for another run on the water. 1 went over and slumped dowvn in my deck chair, idty beginning to massage my gums.
