In my humble opion it was Zelda that hurt the Cook/Orr schools the most. Most all wanted the Orr school to survive but the student numbers were just not there. I believe the school itself ran in the black but there just wasn't enough students. They should have just either built the new school right where the old one is or some place nearby. Penalizing two towns was not a good option. Cook had the numbers to keep a school going but Orr didn't. Repeating what I said earlier that the effects of not having the daily school traffic through downtown Cook has helped four businesses call it quits.
