'Cause they're brain washed so they won't talk. ... And nobody knew that's- like they knew something was weird. There's a bunch of girls living with- you-know pretty well one guy.

There was three of them, two of us. Pretty well two of them because they were all older yeah. So two of them and three then three of them. So there was ten.

Second year we had same deal, it was pretty well the same team. We came in runner-up and then this year coming, it's gonna be a whole different team because people work and can't come up and st-- and you-know stopped coming because they get older.

Um yeah and we've ah- how it has changed, we've lost our saw-mills and like where the men pretty-well all worked around like here, they didn't have to go out of town like to work. And there was ah a quarry here too. And like it's gone so yeah.

And ah my kids pretty well ah- like the younger ones went to the school over here.

Oh yeah there was the- the big fire yeah that burnt. Yeah it burned us, I forgot about that store and ah some houses yeah. But I think everybody pretty well you-know had- got somewhere else to live so. Yes.

And um in the city I feel that people like tend to fall through the cracks and that- like you-know here you-know things are closer like pretty well if you live in Lindsay you can walk anywhere you-know to get to where ever you need to go if you- if you have to you know and-that.

Ah yes, just up the river from Meyers-Mill, it's behind the Bellwood-Creameries. So ah it wa-- it maintained about three to five feet o' water all- pretty well all summer it'd get da-- low but ah you could swim right from one side right across the river.

I-guess there were three schools- three major schools around and this one was- well it felt pretty well packed when I ah, went there.

Saw-mill's all gone. The only thing left is the old burner, 'cause we used to burn the bark and wooden chips and-stuff. Yeah. But it's all pretty well new people up there.

It was a bad infested drug area, it's getting pretty well cleaned up now. Around the hospitals used to be the rich people's area, now it's Thibeault-Hill. It's rich people live up there now, yeah (laughs). As far as the drug-infested areas, they're pretty well scattered here and there. But it's like every other thing.
